Asks n Divorce.

In a petition for a divorce filed yesterday
by Elizabeth Wells against Arthur E. Wells
the petitioner states that they were mar
ried in Rockville, Md, March %, 1890, and
two of their three children still live, they
being in her custody. May Il. 1893, Mrs.
Wells charges, her husband deserted and
abandoned her and their children on ac-
count she declares. of his love for another
woman. and for the same reason, she says,
he has treated her with the greatest
neglect and cruelty. Her husband, says
Mrs. Wells, is half owner of a laundry
here, his income from which is about $3.50
a month. Yet, she states, he promised to
give her but $40 weekly for the support
of her and the children last July, but he
reduced that amount to So week. paying
1t until about two weeks ago, when he
positively refused to further contribute
for their support, saying that he wished
the matter settled in court.
Believing that the greater portion of
her husbands earnings are spent upon
the woman she charges him with now
keeping company, Mrs. Wells prays for a
divorce, the care and custody Of the chill
dren, counsel fees and temporary and per-
manent alimony.

Star. Capt. Rhodes heard of the existence
of the warrant, ana like Anderson, he re-
paired to the substation to try to arrange
for a hearing without being subjected to q
detention over night. Night Station Keeper
Middleton was again on duty, and Rhodes
used almost precisely the same argument
in endeavoring to get released on parole

were unavailing, and Mr.. Middleton told
Rhodes that he was compelled to place him
under arrest. Rhodes then asked Officer
Farquhar. who was present, to get in the
formers buggy with him and accompany
him to police headquarters, but the police
man replied that much he would like to
be obliging that was more than was in his
power.
Mr. Middleton then reported the arrest
to police Headquarters. and orders were re-
ceived to hold the prisoner. Rhodes then
offered to deposit S collateral, but Mr..
Middleton declined to receive it, and later
in the night the accused was taken to the
fifth precinct station in the patrol wagon,
and locked up. 1t is alleged that Rhodes,
several weeks ago. purchased from Mr..
Reppetti lot of shares. for the payment
of which he gave check, which he said
would be made good June s. as he would
get the pension due him on the day pre-
vious and deposit the necessary funds in

check good, 1t is said. and after several
attempts, all of which failed, by Mr.. Rep

WILSON KNOCKED OUT.

Chance Blow by jack MoCann in
the Twenty-Sev0nth Round.
Jack McCanE of Chester, Pa, defeated
Howard Wilson of this city in twenty
seven rounds before the Eureka Club last
night. 1t was one of the gamest fights ever
seen hereabouts, and the lucky ones who
made the journey were well repaid. Will

nearly closed and he bore a resemblance
to Chinese doll, and had punched him
over the heart until big red swellings COW

fighter than McCann never donned the

colored boy, who made a chopping block

half of the twenty-seventh round. Wilson,
under the Instructions of Pat Raedy. was
forcing the fighting at short range. He

coming like whirlwind and essayed a

was not strong blow. but 1t landed on the
dangerous point and Wilson collapsed,

blow, while well timed and delivered, was
a chance blow, but it did the business, and
Wilson lay prone upon the floor, while the

THE THEORY OF THE DIGESTION
OF FOOD.

The human stomach is q pear-shaped bag, into
which all food drops at once when swallowed.
Three things happen-the blood rushes into the
SUBSTANCE of the stomach mot into its INTERIOR
to heat it; thousands of little ducts pipes pour
copiously forth fluid called the gastric juice; and
then, the stomach begins a wave-like churning
movement which thoroughly mixes the gastric
juice with the food and by-andby changes the
whole into gray looking semi-lquid paste called
chyme. This is digestion it takes place in
health.
But look you! II the stomach fails to furnish
the gastric juice, fails furnish enough of it.
the food simply lies in the stomach and turns sour
putreies, ferments- 1t would in a warm, moist
air outdoors. This is indigestion, dyspepsia or
gastritis. Having other way of escape the
poisons engendered pass into the circulation and
set up train Of results like these: Headache;
foul taste in the mouth; loss of appetite and
nausea; furred tongue; disordered heart action;
nervous weakness and prostration; chills followed
by heat flashes; distress and weight in the chest
after eating; fugitive muscular pains, followed in
time by grave local ailments, etc. All this bear
in mind, comes of more less complete failure
CT the stomach to secrete gastric juice.
Having studied this subject for uany years the
Shakers of Mt. Lebanon N.Y.)-famous as medicf
raj chemists and herbalists-sought among the
plants cultivated by them only for a remedy which
should have the distinct and especial effect of
stimulating the flow of gastric juice to a norma,
amount, and, at the same time, of the full nat
ural, digestive strength. No other so-caIled RENE
dies for dyspepsia have this purpose in view yet
it is the ABSOLUTELY essential thing Success

Columbia, s. C., Sept. 9.-Tomorrow morning the state constitutional con vention, the eighth ever held in the state will begin it's sessions here, and the sessions promise to be lively.

Till man, Ex-Gov J. c. Sheppard and scores of other of the same public notoriety are
 members of the convention. They are al lhere tonight, and the city is over flowing with the 160 delegates and the scores of ofice-seekers.
 It was decided tonight that Governor Evans, according to precedent, should be president of the convention, Congress- man Talbert and Speaker Jones, the op- posing candidates withdrawing from the
 race. No attempt, the assurance is given, will be made to ingraft the dispensary law into the new constitution.
 The principal thing the convention has
 before it is the regulation of suffrage so as to disfranchise as many negroes as possible without disfranchsing a single
 white man, except for crime, and to
 maintain white supremacy"

 Materially Strengthen the Faculty.


 Montgomery, Sept. 9.-(Speclal)-The board of trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical college at Auburn did good days work for that institution here to- day.
 Last June at the meeting of the trus- tees the election of professors of agricul- turc and biology was deferred until an adjourned meeting. That meeting was held today in the governors office. Pro lessor shelton, at present representa- tive of the agricultural department of the United States in Australia, was elect ed to the chair of agriculture. He is very highly recommended as man of unlim- ited experience and intelligence in the department to which he has been elected. He has a fine place under the govern ment, but wants to come south.
 The board abolished the positions of gardener, clerk and farm superintendent and created the office of assistant profess sor of agriculture. to which Professor Dueear, now assistant at the experiment tak ion at Washington, was elected. He also comes highly recommended.
 Professor Underwood, recently Of the Agricultural college of Illinois. and very distinguished educator in his branch. was elected. professor of biology. The board has looked very carefully into these selections and they are all regarded as exceedingly fortunate ones for the in- stitution.

Butterine is much abused product. As @ matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production oft an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of foreign chemist who has made the skilIful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: 1.-The product is palatable and wholesome and I regard it as most valuable article of food"
