END OF A
Pauline Fuller Wearies Of Her Young
Husband.

Chicago, March, 12.-Pauline c.,
daughter of Chief Justice Fuller of
the United States supreme court, has
filed a bill for divorce from her bus
band, James NJ. Aubrey. Mrs. Au-
berry had not lived with her husband
for some time. The divorce bill is the
sequel to an el0pement. The com
plainant ran away to Milwaukee with
Aubrey and was married to him six
years ago.
Milwaukee, March 12.-Mr. Aubery
spent his boyhood days in Milwaukee,
with his parents, residing on Mason
street, between Van Buren, and Jack
son. When he was 10 years of age,
his family removed to Chicago and he
Went with them. When he eloped
with Miss Fuller, March 10, 1889, and
came to this city, where he was mar
ried by the late Justice George X.
Gregory, he was % years Of age. At
that time he was a fine looking young
man, just the kind to catch the eyes
of a sentimental young lady and turn
her head. He wore his brown hair a
la pompadour, had expressive grey
eyes and the faintest shadow of a
mOustache. Miss Fuller was a petite
young lady with an abundance of
chestnut hair curling about a very
pretty face. She was ) feet. ) inches
in height. Her eyes were grey and
her nose decidedly aquiline. In re-
lating the story Of his marriage
at the time. Mr.. Aubery said that as
soon as his Wife's parents discovered
the attachment between them they be-
gan to oppose their marriage. Judge
Fuller was inclined to let them have
their way, but Mrs. Fuller absolutely
refused her consent on account of,the
difference in their social positions.
When Miss Fuller reached a suitable
age the5 made up their minds to place
it beyond the power of her parents to
separate them by getting married
without their consent.
Judge Fuller received the news of
his daughters marriage as he was
putting on his robe preparatory to go
ing on the supreme court bench in
Washington, D. c. He was greatly
agitated by the announcements and re-
firing to his room, refused to see any
one. Miss Fuller had left her home
in Washington to visit friends in Chi
cago and it developed that Chief JUS
tice Fuller. fearing an escapade of
this character. had requested a law
yer friend in Chicago to look after her
during her stay in that city. This
friend took occasion to speak to Au-
berry on the subject when the latter
Informed him that they We're already
married which at that time was false,
but it gave rise TO a report at the
time that the romantic young people
had INDUCED in two marriage cere-
monies.
At the time he performed the cere-
mony Justice Gregory did not know
that the bride vas the daughter {
Chief Justice Fuller. The marriag,
took place in the Kirby house. wher, |
the couple remained several days.

NO SENSATIONAL SERMONS.
DR.. DiXon's Church Says SO and He
Decides to Go.

New York, March 12.-The resigna-
ton of Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., as
pastor of the TWenty-third Street Bap-
fist church was read to the congrega-
ton Sunday morning. One of the
trustees said the board had practically
asked for Mr.. DixOn's resignation .
The trustees are tired of a sensational
preacher. They want a hard working
pastor. They say for a year they
have seen their pastor only Sundays.
He devoted the remainder of the week
to his own business or pleasure. Mr..
Dixon says that he considers the ma
chinery of a strict Baptist church a
hindrance to the best work. While he
believed in the Baptist creed he pro-
posed to place his work on a union
evangelical platform with only one
principal, vital faith in Christ.

Washington, March 12-Tbe cron
report OF the department of agricul-
'uhe LOT March, consists principally of
@uHdteS OF the distribution of corn
anu Wheat, of the stock remaining in
Tie handS of the farmers. and of fine
proportions thereof merchantahl ond
understandable. The report iS hoSo1
OF the country estimates of tho NJ
cen0ase OF last years product remain
Ing IN hrSt hands, obvious errors and
Inconsistencies of the statement hninr
corrected and differences harmonizad
all grain in the hands of the fa1marS
including amounts remaining oyar
from previous years, are embraced In
the estimates given. The corn on hand
as eSOllnated aggregates 475,564,4 5O
bushels, or 80 per cent of the last
crop. This proportion has been ex-
ceeded but four times i'm the last fen
years. The quantity, however. is an
unprecedented small one. The con-
sumption of COR for the eight months
Is an unusually small one; which fact
IS explained by the large amounts of
ID fed to stock. The aggregate sold
from farms to go beyond the county
boundaries is 1872, 1874, $40 of 13.4 per
n OF the crop. The proportion mer-
charitable is 999,4OO, 900 or S2.4 per
cent. The values returned for mer-
charitable corn averages 44.S: for I'M
understandable 2S.6; making the aggre-
gate value OF sos, I'll, 129, which is
S~46,OOO,OOO less than the December
valuation of the crop; on averages of
4l.9 per bushel. The estimated amount
OF wheat in farmers hands lis 10000
900 bushels, or 1853 per cent of the last
crop, and 100000 bushels less than
last March. The explanation for this
enlrged measure is to be found in the
fact that large quantities were fed to
hogs and other stock. The returns
from North and South Dakota. Ne
brasl1a and Kansas indicate the I'M
~precedented exhaustion of last years
crop; the correspondents in many
counties reporting not enough on hand
for spring seed and the necessary food
! supply.

PINE GOES CHEAP.
Minnesota Auditor Finds That It Has
Gone Without Warrant.

st. Paul, March 1O.-State Auditor
Dunn has unearthed a condition Of
affairs in the sale of state timber.
Under the statutes none of the state
pine may be sold except when it is in
danger of destruction by fire or other
waste. Mr.. Dunn's Investigations
show that millions of feet Of pine
have been sold without the least war
rant, none Of it being in danger of
fire. The "pine barons'' have secured
it at a nominal price and it still
stands uncut, held as a choice specu-
lation.
