NEW WOMAN In COURT
SHE STAYED OUT LATE AT NIGHT At
LODGE MEETINGS.
And Used Harsh and IndeIieatc Lam
Complaint for Divorce.

\ species OF the new woman has begun
TO figure in the divorce courts OF Marion
county. she was in evidence yesterday in a
complaint for divorce filed I'm the Superior
Court by John Mayo. The defendant Is
Elizabeth Mayo. who was married to the
plaintiff in 1856. The complaint charges
Mrs. Mayo with a varied assortment OF I'M
wifely acts. many OF which appear to have
been Of a serious nature. One OF the most
grievous OF her faults was the habit of
staying out at nights. acquired q long time
ago. About three nights a week. the plain
tiff says. his wife would go away from
home. leaving him with the children. She
would generally return at an hour not far
remote from midnight. When Mayo would
she would reply that She had been TO a
lodge meeting. For a time the plaintiff
accepted these explanations. but finally his
wife's fraternal engagements grew so FREE
quent that he rebelled.
AS a further cause for separation the plain
indicate language. which she uses in the
presence Of their children. She IS also pos
sessed OF a violent temper; she is quarrel
some and INDUCES In gossip which Is
very distasteful 90 the husband. She has
so little regard for the training OF her chill
dren, the complaint says, that she encour-
aged and finally forced her daughter into
an immoral life. The plaintiff AYERS that he
existed amid these unenviable surroundings
until he was compelled to cave his home
through his fear OF death by poison. A spe-
cifc act of cruelty Is charged 10 the de-
PENDANT. the plaintiff declaring that she
tried &c kill his son with a rolling pin.

A FUTURITY STAKE
Is One of the Possibflities I'm Indian
apOlis Horse Racing.

The Indianapolis Driving Club has asked
the board for an extension of its lease in
order to provide for the opening OF large
Futurity stakes along the line OF the great
stakes offered by the Lexington Trotting
Association. 1t has not yet been fully
decided that such a stake will be offered,
all depending upon the terms upon which
the club can secure a new lease. Its
present lease expires with next season. 1t
has been demonstrated here that trotting
races alone do not pay, although this
sport will not be given up entirely. Ar
engagements are now being made for a
~trotting meet in July. In case a new lease
is secured running races, with a Futurity
stake, will be the prominent feature of the
track. 1t is not unlikely that a running
meeting will be held next year regardless
of a new lease. 1t would require not less
the first Futurity stake. SO that such a
stake could not be offered before 1898. II
this plan is carried out and the question OF
a lease is all that seems to stand in the
way. indianapolis will become one of the
prominent places for running horses.
Tbs members OF the executive committee
of the State Board of Agriculture were in
session yesterday arranging the programme
vene Jan. z. The programme will extend
over ten days and a number of lecturers
from neighboring States will deliver adj
dresses on live topics. There will be
succeed the following members: Robert
Mitchell, Princeton; James ). Mccoy,
Petersburg; W.. w. Stevens. Salem: Z. w.
Lagrange. Franklin; w. Il. Holton, In
dianapolis; G. h. Harris, Goshen; Aaron
Jones, South Bend, and James E. Nc

MRS. coFFIN's WATER CoLoRs.
An Exhibit of scenes Near salem to
BE Seen ut Lieber's.

,lr,. David w. CONN has on exhibition
at L.sbe, > a number OF very pretty water
colors. They were painted by the artist
at historic Salem. a place made famous
by Norgan's raid. There are many pic
tIrssdue scenes near salem and Mrs. Coffin
nsss chosen some of them for her subjects.
The work was done late in the season and
the rich tints OF autumn and the soft
atmosphere OF the fall OF the year are
through them all. One Of them shows the
road by which Morgan entered the town
years ago. Another is what is known as
Cadwaliader's hill. The rise OF ground.
with trees. the foliage. the lots and fields
will be readily recognized By one familiar
with the place One section OF the vicinity
used TO be known as Africa on account OF
the number Of colored people there. 1t
still goes by the old name, but there is
scafsely a representative OF the race in
the county. At one side or the picture is
a row OF silver ~poplars. which marks the
edge OF the fair grounds and at the other
side is the half hedge which outlines the
fence at the edge OF the High School
grounds. Two OF the old homesteads have
been reproduced One Is the Allen place,
almost hidden amid the trees, and the
other Is the Coffin homestead, the resi-
dence OF the grandfather Of Mr.. c.. r.
CONN OF this City. one Of the most at
tractive pictures the artist has named ssThe
same old apple tree" IL shows the old
apple tree down near the gate. Running
beside II Is the old worm fence and off
in the distance Is the orchard. II looks
as IL a. were a most inviting spot. An
other good picture Is Poverty Flats"
There are some old miserable cottages and
hanging out on the line To dry are some
clothes. Some are OF gay colors and
brighten the dull coIors OF the house. A
little stream runs near and the lights and
shadows and foliage are reflected In its
water. Another sketch is a scene near
Greencastle Junction. Mrs. Coffin IN a new

TWO YEARS FOR GRAND LARCENY.
Boy stole Clothing md JeweIry from
His Sisters Visitor.

John Doherty. aged nineteen years, plead
ed guilty TO grand larceny in the Criminal
Court yesterday. He received a sentence
of two years in the northern penitentiary.
Doherty is an ingenious rogue. He lives
at No. 3f Fulton street with his sister,
who for some time has been entertaining
Miss Mamie Baller. of vevay. Shortly after
Miss Billiards. arrival here she was robbed
Of a silk dress, a gold watch and several
small articles OF jewelry. Included in the
list was a Trilby heart, which the owner
priced highly. shortly after the robbery
Doherty left home. Within a week Miss
Baller received a letter from him In which
he practically confessed to the theft. He
asked her to meet him at the corner OF
Ohio and Mississippi streets at s O'Clock on
a certain evening. Doherty asked her TO
bring him SIS I'm money and he would then
turn over her property. He cautioned her
to keep away from the detectives and
threatened her bodily harm IL she talked TO
the police about the theft. Miss Baller
kept the appointment and stood on the
corner waiting for Doherty with a detec-
tive within twenty feet OF her. Doherty,
however. guessed the game and did not put
in an appearance. He was arrested by de-
tective McGuff a short time later. Part OF
the stolen property was recovered from a
woman with whom Doherty had left II.

Advise Its Use.
Wives, Mothers, Sisters
and Sweethearts Urge
You to Quit Using

Aside from tho question OF personal
health which affects our own bodies. our
wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts are
more deeply interested in this question
of the habitual use OF tobacco than any one
else.
They all urge you to quit 1t on the
grounds of personal decency and purity:
on the grounds of useless sxtravagance, and
on the grounds Of cleanliness of the sur
roundings in which they must live, and
which we nave no right to make foul and
offensive.
Watch the ladies as they walk the street
in their dainty attire, with what care they
try TO avoid the filth that has been trans
ferred from the mouths Of tobacco chewers
20 the sidewalk: observe them as they pass
by persons smoking a horribly offensive
pipe or a bad cigar; how they attempt to
protect themselves from these public nuts
ances, and then ask yourself if you have a
right TO thus offend them.
You say you do not wish to offend them,
but you can't help It," Smoking and chew
ing have become habits and you can't
quit. We know it has become a disease
and without help you are powerless. but
help is at hand for you. Oxygen Tobacco
Cure will cure you.
The question is, do you want to be cured
of the disease? If so, Oxygen Tobacco

ment. but a thoroughly tried and proven

turn you your money IL IL does not. Three

room. The burning out of the telephone
was sufficient TO excite everybody but the
board members. The chemical from head
quarters was summoned and the sight of
a fire apparatus made those in the county
offices believe the building was doomed
TO destruction Some one suggested that
perhaps a property owner had attempted
TO register a complaint over the telephone,
anyway that instrument burned out. After
the smoke had cleared away 1t was found
that a trolley wire had come in contact
with the telephone wire. causing all the
trouble. Bart Parker. clerk OF the board,
and John Re~ddington, assistant clerk, de-
serve great credit for not getting any more
excited than they did. The wall where
the telephone hangs is charred consider
ably and ii will cost something to make
