HAD AMASSED SOME WEALTH.
Fraud and Perjury Committed in Escap.
ing From the Injured
Spouse.

TERRE HAUTE, IND, Nov. 2s.-A suit
just filed here to annul divorce granted
in February, 1872, brings to light a
strange story of the desertion of wife
and the procurement of q divorce by the
husband, whom the wife has mourned for
dead for quarter of century, but who
is just now found living in wealth in New
Hampshire.
According to the complaint of Mrs. Sara
Ella of Chicago she was married to Robert
L. Ella in Quincy, ILL.,, February Is, 1871.
They moved to Kansas City and lived
happy welded life, 80 far as she knew, for
six months, when he said he was going to
Leavenworth, Kans., to seek better employ.
ment. She heard from him once or twice,
and then never again directly until a few
months ago, when she was astounded to
learn that he was living in Concord, N. H.,
and had fallen heir to a fortune of $4,000.
Moreover he disowned her and said he
had been divorced from her.
She employed Boston attorney to protect
her rights, and he was here a few days ago
to examine the records of the court in which
| the husband said he had obtained the di-
vorce. 1t was found that the divorce was
granted February II, 1872, and that it was
on the ground of cruel and inhuman treat
| ment.
Under the Indiana law at that time Ella
must have made oath that he had been a
resident of the State more than year.
According to the wife's complaint they
| HAD lived for six months of the preceding
year in Kansas City. The notice to her of
| the suit for divorce was by publication in
| the local newspapers, which of course she
never saw.
She says that she learned indirectly about
| five years ago that he had died in Califor
MIA, and it was when she learned that she
might be the heir to property left by his
| New England relatives and began inves-
| tigating the matter, that she first knew
that he was alive and had obtained di-
vorce from her. Neither he nor she has
ever rem arrled. Personal service of the
new suit is to be served on him in Concord
/ in few days.

FOUGHT FOR THE FLAG,
Lively Riot Caused by Tearing
Down Old Glory in a To-
ronto College.
American and British Boys Badly
Bruised During the Battle for
Supremacy.

TORONTO, ONT, Nov. 2s.-The stars
and stripes caused mimic war here to-
day and its defenders came out winners.
The early days of the present century
were renewed at the Ontario Veterinary
College when a number of American
students, headed by a New York boy
named Shaw, produced an American flag
and hoisted it in the main assembly hall
Just after DR.. Smith had finished his lee
ture. The flag was raised in honor OF
Thanksgiving day.
No sooner was the emblem hung when a
tall Canadian named Lindsay seized it,
tore it from its fastenings and threw it
on the floor. In second Shaw sprang at
him and knocked him down. Lindsay
was up in jiffy and he and Shaw
clinched The American was thrown
against a desk and his face badly cut.
Then the boys took sides and hot Ameri-
can and British battle followed. For
twenty minutes bloody and brutal scrim-
mage ragged, one of the most exciting fea-
lures being around the blackboard, where
a couple of American boys were trying to
mark out flag with chalk.
Here w. w. Richards, big Californian,
mentor. and Ben Agnew, burly fellow
from Huron County, Ontario, championed
their respective nations, and fought for
the cause, while a few of the smaller fell
lows looked on. When it was seen that
the Californian was being worsted Ameri-
cans came to his rescue, and the fight grew
general again. The boys fought in pairs
and in squads all over the lecture-room.
and blood flowed freely. Faces were badly
gashed, and eyes were BACKED. School
friendships were forgotten in the hot
blooded, boyish, patriotic row, and class
mates pounded each other vigorously for
the honors under which they live. The
college authorities finally quelled the riot,
but only with considerable difficulty, for
fully $50 boys and young men were en-
gagged, about so of them being Americans.
DR.. Smith, with the assistance of the
faculty and number of older students,
finally succeeded in quieting the disturb
ance.

PRAYED FOR |NCERSOLL,
Members of the Christian En-.
deavor Union Joined in the
Task.
It Resulted From the Lecture on "Foun
dations of the Faith" and Sam
Jones' Comments.

CLEVELAND, ONO, Nov. 2s.-Between
5000 and 5000 people in Cleveland offered
silent prayer at noon to-day for Robert G.
Ingersoll. 1t came about like this: At the
quarterly meeting of the Cleveland Chris
tan Endeavor Union OF two or three nights
ago the Mayyou Mission requested all the
Christian Endeavorers in the city to pray
for Robert G. Ingersoll on THANKSGIVING
dav. and asked President Denis of the
union to name the hour. Denis complied
by fixing noon, and asking every En-
deavorer to pray wherever he might be.
To-day at number of churches union
meetings were held and adjourned at noon.
1t was noticeable that at every one OF
these many Christian Endeavorers and
Epworth Leaguers, who also joined in the
PRAYER, remained in their seats and bowed
their heads in silent prayer for Ingersoll
before leaving the place. In number OF
churches the ministers, themselves En-
deavorers, made open supplication for In
gersoll.
At the Salvation Army union meeting,
in the First Labor Church, Staff Captain
Farmer uttered fervent prayers for Inger-
soil and the audience writhed and groaned
in concert.
This all results from the attention at
tracted by Ingersoll's lecture the other
day on "The Foundations of Faith" and
the subsequent comments of Evangelist
Sam Jones, who said: "Ingersoll respect
as a fat, good-natured. man, who makes
$1,000 night talking against Christ, when
we can't make 500 talking for him. l
would not pay 81 to hear him on the mis-
takes of Moses, but l would pay far more
to hear Moses on the mistakes of Ingersoll."

THREE PARIS BOHEMIANs.
The Publisher Made $4,000 Out of a
Three Dollar Song


One day three friends were walking on
the boulevards of Paris. All three were
young, and all three were poor, says the
Philadelphia Footlights.
'tShould l not like good breakfast ?"
said one.
81 should like any breakfast" said an
other, 'even if not very good"
"And l, also, the most simple of break
fasts, so long as it was breakfast" said
the third.
"How much must it cost Pr asks the first
speaker.
1.-TWO dollars at least" says number two.
"I've got an idea; come along" says
number three. And ell three went to a
well-known publisher of music.
"Sir," said the young man with the idea,
''we have come to ask you to buy song,
of which this gentleman has written the
music and that gentleman the words, and,
as / am the only one of the three who has
a voice, / will sing it to YOU"
The publisher made wry face, but he
said
"Sing and / will see." Then the young
man sang.
at is a very simple ditty," said the
publisher; sput as / want a lot Of songs

will buy it and give you So for it-$1
apiece.
The three friends looked at each other
They did not expect so much. They took
the money and left the manuscript in the
publishers hands in exchange.
And with those So they went to break
fast like three princes of bohemia, as they
were. Now the composer of the music
was Mariposa, the author OF the words
Alfred de Musset and the singer Dupres!
AS for the song, 1t took all Paris, and
from the cafe chantant it went to the
theater and to every aristocratic salon in
Paris. The publisher made $4,000 by this
song.

Commenting upon the recurrence OF

special laws were needless to defend the
