New York Divorce Case Ruling Shows
Necessity for Caution.

New 4 OFk divorce &hse ItuliIi8 SitOF -
Necessity for Caution.
Stephen R. Fisk the Unknown theatri-
cal manager and former newspaper CORE
spondent, has lost the suit he brought to
have his marriage Wi thMary Frances Paul
lin annulled Mr.. Fisk alleged, says the
New York Morning Journal, that his wife
deceived him Before their marriage, on June
3, 1862, by passing herself off at Long
Branch as a daughter of John Lyon, comp
trolIer of the city of Philadelphia, and
by concealing the fact that she had been
married before to Benjamin F White and
had obtained a divorce from him.
Mrs. Fisk denied all of this, and said that
when she told Fisk of the previous marriage
he took her wedding ring from her finger,
tied it to a stoue and cast il into the depths
OF the sea.
In denying Fisk's application, Judge
MCAdam saws: assuming that the de fend-
ant represented 10 the plaintiff that she
had never been previously married, when in
fact she had been married to Benjamin +.
White, from whom she obtained divorce,
and that such representation was the in
ducing cause of her marriage to the plain
tiff, such deceit does not amount to a
fraud which justifes the annulment of the
marriage

last dozen years they have been familiar
figures in the Sierra Nevadas, particularly
regions surrounding Kings River Canyon,
although they have sometimes extended
their hunting expedition as far north as
Yosemite Valley.
They have little ranch in the mountains,
ten or twelve miles from the Kings River
Canyon, to which they usually go during
the worst part of the rainy season, and they
sometimes spend there a month or so during

of misfortune:
