SHE WANTS AN ACCOUNTING.
Mrs. Gcnevieye Walkers Suit Against IIel
Husband, the Real Estate Agent.

Mrs. Gcnevieye Walkers Suit Against Her
Husband. the Real Estate Agent.
Mrs. Genevieve Z. Walker yesterday sued
Capt. Barlow L. Walker, the real estate
broker, for divorce and for an accounting
upon $54, 108. sc received from her fathers es-
tate between January 2, 1888, and March l2,
1887. They were married on January %.
1888. The largest sums thus received were
$1,000 each on January 2 1888, and July 27.
1888; $4,000 August Il, 1888; $11 .458 on Oc-
tober 29, 1884, and S12, 900 on March u, 1897.
This money, she says, he invested and rein
vested and deposited in bank in his own
name. He had no capital of his own and al
ways admitted his accountability to her until
recently, and frequently promised TO reckon
up the condition OF the trust and let her know
what they had. But he now denies all obli-
gation to her as trustee and she believes he
has put a considerable amount of the prop
erty in the name of others.
Particularly on November last he decided
all his real estate to his clerk, Paul Brandt
and on the same day Brandt conveyed the
property back to him TO secure an alleged
debt OF $685. coo to Archibald @. Walter. his
brother-in-law. These conyeyances. she saws
were wholly without consideration and void
She believes he will attempt to make other
colorado but fraudulent transfers of her
She asks that as far as the funds from her
fathers estate can be traceI 10 specific prop
erty now in his hands she be given possess
sion of it and for the rest OF her money she
may have personal decree against him. She
asks that lie make full discovery but not
under oath, OF the instrument Of her funds:
that he lie enioined from transferring anything
he has. and that q receiver he appointed for
the property
These suits form part Of litigation begun
June % last. Mrs. Walker tIen instituted
proceedings for an inquisiJion in lunacy in
her husbands case. He had been drinking
heavily and travelling about the country in an
aim!ess fashion. She alleged that unless some
one was appointed committee the property
would be wasted. HIS sister Iren6, who is
the wife of Archibald C. Walter. moved TO
quash the proceedings, but upon a hearing
before jury on July 10, Capt. Walker was
sent TO Providence Hospital and B. +. Leigh
ton appointed committee and trustee to take
charge of the property.
After about two months at the hospital
Capt. Walker was greatly improved and the
physicians thought could be dismissed as
cured. Upon petition OF G.. E. Walker, on
October 3, Mr.. Leighton was discharged from
his trusteeship, and Capt. Walker again took
charge of his business.
His wifes action; however, had made a
deep impression upon him, and it is under
stood that he does not object 10 a separation.
The papers in the divorce case are withheld,
and even the ground upon which it is Lased
is not stated in the record. 1t is understood
however. that the bill is based upon charges
OF drunkenness and mistreatment.

INDIAN OUTING SYSTEM.
Secretary Smith Decides to Extend 1t to Al
Government Schools

Secretary Smith Decides to Extend II to All
Government Schools.
The outing..system. which has been tried at
the Carlisle, Pa, Indian school and has
proven OF great benefit to the pupils, will be
extended 10 all governmental Indian schools,
both reservation and non-reservatlon, where
there are scholars old enough to profit by it.
Secretary Hoke Smith has reached this con-
clusion and believes the inauguration of the
system will be an important factor in making
the Indians selfssupporting. He does not in
tend to conflne bis efforts in this direction to
the schools, butiwill endeavor to induce adult
Indians, both meniand women, to seek en-
ployment in the homes of farmers in the
vicinity OF their reservations.
With view to promoting this plan the Sec
retary OF the Interior has approved a circular
to agents and school superintendents, asking
them to find suitable families who will receive
Indians in their homes and give them practi-
cal training in every day duties, and also to
find worthy Indians who will avail themselves
OF such opportunities.

BY far the most thoughtful and interesting
paper of the day was the last. that of Prof.
William A. DunnIng, of Columbia College. in
which he maintained that there was no
American political philosophy. He took the
ground that Jefferson. Hamilton, Webster.
and Calhoun had no distinctive PHILOSOPHERS
and that the so-called theoretical views of
our statesmen were commonpiaces in Europe
before they were uttered on this side of the
Atlantic. Americans. he held, were practical
rather than speculative. and our literature
one OF concrete controversies rather than
speculative philosophical history

CARNEGIE SAW HERBERT.

But the Defective Armor- plate Maker Got
Little for His Pains.
Secretary Herbertl yesterday afternoon
made the following statement regarding the
later phases Of the Carnegie armor-plate af-
fair:
"Mr. Carnegie expressed himself as having
the most unbounded confidence in the armor
and said he was willing to go to any expense
to show it,
Mr.. Carnegie came into my Office and said
he had seen my testimony before the Naval
Committee OF the Senate and indicated that if
the matter Was TO go on he would make a
proposition that he was willing to do any
thing that was fair. l told him that the
newspapers had only published q portion of
my statement before the committee. l stated
TO him the substance Of what that evidence
was. told him that il had been published
by the Senate committee; that he could get a
copy OF it: that l had given it as my opinion
that the Quay amendment providing that the
$40, coo should be returned to his company
in case the plates would not stand the ballistic
test ought not to pass; that that fine
was not imposed on the idea that
the plates would not stand the ballistic tests
although might be mistaken; but whether
the plates stood that test or not l did not
think be was entitled TO the money, because
the fine had been imposed upon the company
uPon the ground that II had not made the
plates as much better than the test would in
dicate as it could have done. l referred Mr.
Carnegie and his friends to that printed testi-
mony, and they left without making to me
any definite proposition, and without saving
anything about suing the government
told Mr. Carnegie that SO far as the depart
ment was concerned the payment of that fine
was considered as q final settlement of the
question of damages.

Pat Looked Like Buccaneer-Pat Malone.
mild-eyed old man, with fully bushel of
disheveled gray hair on his head, and long
white beard which looked as though it had
been tackled by Kansas cyclone, was charged
in Judge Kimball's court yesterday with eing
suspicious character. Police Sergeant Slat-
terry testified that Malone had been found
lurking about in locality in the county
where numerous thefts have been committed
of late. He had also been seen about the
Soldiers Home grounds where several in
cendiary fires have been discovered. Bailiff
Sam Kendig recognized Malone as an old
timer and said he was arrested during the
''Jack the Slasher' excitement on suspicion
of being that desperate individual. Judge
Kimball sent Pat 10 the chain gang for thirty
days, where he will no doubt get free hair
cut and shave.

A Mocking-bird.

A gentleman living at 322 King
William street tells the following:
He was awakened early this morn
ing by a noise among the chickens
in his back yard. The hens were
cackling at a terrible rate, old
chanticlear was almost splitting
his throat, and there were indica-
tions of a general alarm. The gen.
tleman notified his wife, and sug-
gested great trouble among the
poultry. She replied: at is a
mocking- bird. He frequently gets
upa hubbub of that sort among
the chickens. 1t alarmed me when
/ first heard it. i am used to the
thing now, and it never disturbs
me.
The mocking-bird can initiate
almost any sound it hears.
1t is difficult to imagine how this
feathered sOngster can manage to
initiate the cry Of so many chick
ems at one time, yet there was sure
ly but one Of his kind on hand at
lifetime to create such a "babel" of
sounds.

Pineapple vinegar is the latest
Florida product. Its color re-
sembles that Of amber, and it is as
clear as sherry wine. Its odor is
delightful and refreshing and its
flavor is unparalleled by any other
vinegar-it can not readily be de-
scribed, but il once tasted is not
easily forgotten, and those who
have sampled it pronounce it de-
licious and unequalled by any,
thing of the kind that has ever
been tested. 1t is entirely free
from adulteratiOn, and is
nothing but the pure juice Of the
pineapples, converted into pure
vinegar.

Four Butchers Protest Against the
City Slaughter House.

-Four butcner5 Protest Against the
City Slaughter House.
Alfred Ruhnke, Frank Rieden,
George Jagge and Peter Judd,
butchers, have presented a protest
to the city authorities against the
leasing of the Union slaughter
house. In order to ascertain what
advantages there are in the pro-
posed lease, a LIGHT representative
learned the following from Alder
man Sinner, who says:
ave figure out the cost of an
abbatoir would be from $4,000 to
$4,000; then the city would have
to buy land, put down an artesian
well, build stock pens on that land
for eighty-five different butchers
to keep their stock separate. Now
10 begin with, the cost of the
plant, $4,000, which is the min
imum estimate, the city would
have to figure off 10 per cent each
year as depreciation on the plant
for wear and tear, which would
amount to $500 annually; 5000
would be the interest at 6 per cent
on $4,000 ito be paid annually.
The fuel would be S. a day, which
would amount to $500 annually.
An engineer would have to be en-
ployed at SIS month; fireman
at $50; a man to manipulate
the slaughtering machinery at
$40; man to oil the ma
chinery at $50; a man to take care
OF the offal at $50, which would
make 1925 per month, or $2,64O an.
nually for labor. The repairs would
amount to about 1855 annuallR.
From this calculation it is shown
that it would cost the city $7,2O5
to operate the plant after it had
been built. This is exclusive Of the
land which would have to be
bought, and the construction of
pens, and the expense of sinking
the artesian well, which would be
between $ 600 and $1,000, depend
ing upon the depth that they
would have to 60 to strike water.
"The city willHalso save the ex-
pense Of three meat inspectors as
they now have four and one man
at the union slaughter house can
do all the work.
"The plant will be self sustain
ing and will not put the city in
debt. The city will gain a very
handsome revenue from the lease
during the latter part of the ten
years as the population will double
in that time. AS the killing is in.
creasing yearly and this will be a
fixed price for ten years by next
year the city will begin to gain
a handsome revenue which
will. grow as the Strengthening in.

money with which to construct
her own plant, and the people do
not wish any more bonded indebt.
edness placed on them, and there
is no institution more needed by
the city than an union slaughter
house, where the meat can be in.

killed, there is no sanitary measure
which is more needed than that oil
