SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST BLACK
The Theatrical Agents Wife Wants
a DfvOrca

Mrs Kate Black, an actress, who is
we'll known throughout Hudson County,
has commenced suit for divorce from
her husband. William Black, who also
appears before the footlights in no mean
capacity. He is also theatrical ad-
vance and press agent, and is at present
his wife claims, employed at Niblo's
Garden, New York. Last year he was at
Eldorado, and made many friends among
Jerseymen. Mr. and Mrs. Black were
married in the First Baptist Church,
Grove street, by the Rev. DR.. -Parmley,
February l, 1898, and, as Mrs. Black
states, lived happily together for about
one year, when Black began to drink
heavily and abuse her most shamefully
Mrs Black, in her bill, sets forth a
long list of cruelties which her husband
subjected her to.
They have two children living and one
dead. The oldest living is Sadie Frances,
q girl eleven years old, and the other IS
a boy eighteen months old, named Will
lam.
Mrs. Black says she was compelled to
leave Black in 1885, but after being
separated for six years they agreed to
live together again, upon Black promis-
ing to reform and do better. He kept
his promise for two months, after which
he abused her again more shamefully
than before. In February, 1888, they
were ordered out of Mrs. Brooks board
ing house on Barrow street for fighting
among themselves, but chiefly on ac-
count of Blacks ill-tfeatment of his wife
On August IL and October Is, in a board
ing house at No. 303 Grove street, Black
so brutally beat the woman, she alleges,
that it nearly cost her her life. During
the latter beating little Sadie interfered
in behalf of her mother, and Black
knocked the child down. Five days later
he deserted them, and has not contribut-
ed one cent towards their support since.

Blacks brutal treatment.
Black could not be seen this morning.
A number of his friends were much sur
prised when they heard of the proceed
1ngs, and all declared that there must
be some mistake, as Black always
seemed a very pleasant and amiable per-
son.

ELEVATORS BLOCKED.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 1, 1S94-An e1e-
vator blockade of serious proportions has
developed, and coming just at the end
of the season is going to pinch somebody
badly if it does not let up right away.
All the rail houses are full, or the next
thing to it, and consignees will not put
anything into the canal houses. The
worst of it is that most of the waiting
vessels are chartered for coal and every
minute counts with them. There is
more coal to charter, but brokers do not
dare to place anything until they know
how they are coming out. The chances
are that they will have to wait till
they cannot get the boats.

The Burglar Stole u Kiss.

The house of Thomas Owens, a well to
do farmer at Valley station, was entered
Friday night by a masked burglar, who
secured about thirty dollars in money
and several articles Of clothing. The
door Of the family bedroom had not been
locked, and the burglar entered without
difficulty. He carried a dark lantern.
In leaving the room he looked at the
sleeping ones, and saw the innocent face
of Mr.. Owens little daughter. He sud
denly bent over and kissed her on the
cheek. She awoke and uttered a loud
scream. This aroused her father, who,
~springing up, spied the burglar. He was
not quick enough, however, and was
knocked senseless by a powerful blow on
the head with the lantern the burglar
carried.-Louisville Commercial.

Kilkenny Cats.

During the rebellion which occurred
in Ireland in 1893, or it may be in 1903,
Kilkenny was garrisoned by a troop OF
Hessian soldiers, who amused themselves
in barracks by tying two cats together
by their tails and throwing them across
a clothes line to fight. The officers,
hearing Of this cruel practice, resolved
to stop it. AS he entered the room one
of the troopers, selling a sword, cut the
tails in two as the animals hung across
the line. The two cats escaped, minus
their tails, through the open window,
and when the officer inquired the mean
ing OF the two bleeding tails being left
in the room, he was coolly told that two
cats had been fighting, and had devoured
each other all but the tails.-Notes and

A Table Made of Human Flesh.

A writer in Harper's Magazine Of Feb,
ruary, 1855, gave the following descrip-
ton of q remarkable table made by Pro
fessor Segato: 1T comprises every por,
ton of the human body transformed
into stone, destined to endure as long a.
the world itself if not ground to pieces
by violence. There are really two tables,
II finished and polished, the other III,
complete, made Of mosaics formed by
sections of human bones, brains, lungs,
blood vessels, lntestines and muscles, all
as firm as marble, ID showing the in
ternal structure of each.
without al explanation a visitor
would suppose them to be from some
mosaic mandatory, for they are syG',
metrically arranged in squares, TRAN
giles and circles, with the great variety
of color5 nicely graduated. Different
portions Of the human body, showing
the internal anatomy, are SO perfectly
petrified as to form a fine object Of
study for the medical student. Even
morbid anatomy was subjected with en-
tire success to this process. Animals Of
all kinds, chickens and reptiles, in short,
nothing that has blood was capable OF
resisting Segato's petrifying touch"

Too Much Feminine Politeness.

y street car conductor said "Youc-
women in Washington indulge in a Pc
culiar sort Of politeness which is more
calculated to injure the feelings Of others
than any rudeness Of a deliberate nature
that they could very we'll contrive. You
will often see a girl Of twenty odd get
up in q street car to give her seat to a
lady, quite a stranger, who is no more
than middle aged. This is Il intended for
a courtesy, presumably, but it is a very
silly one. because its obvious intention
is to exhibit a Difference to superior age.
Now, no woman likes to find herself re-
garded from that point of view, and the
worst of it is that it is impossible for the
victim Of such a performance to show
any resentment. All she can do is to
decline to accept the place vacated,
which is not very much satisfaction.
Il myself have frequently noticed
women who had perceptibly passed their
first youth Offering their seats to others
hardly older than themselves, so that it
might seem as if this was a novel way of
claiming to be young at some one else's
expense. My observation is that few
people, however Oil, are otherwise than
mortified by being given seats in this
name IN the cars. Old gentlemen are
not less sensitive on the point than old
ladies ."-COr. st. Louis Globe-DemOcraG
