SQUANDERED HER MONEY
Mrs. Jeannie Helen Kirkpatrick
Obtains Absolute Divorce.
Her Husband Forced Her by Violence
and 1ntimidationt to supply Him
With Funds.

An absolute divorce was granted yes.
terday in equity court No /, Chief Justice
Bingham presiding, to Jeannie Helen Kirk
patrick from her husband, Robert j. X irk
patrick, wel,-known real estate dealer,
upon her petition and alleged cruelty and
desertiou. -
The suit was Instituted September 26,
1895. The ccmpiaipanGb states that she
owned real estate OF the of $4,000,
purchased with her own money obtained
from her uncle. Sue also owned notes
valued a. $1,000, secured by real estate,
aud possessed jewels and diamonds valued
at $1,000, also a revisionary interest In
government bonds OF the republic OF France,
subject to certain life interests, all, or
nearly all of which property the Defendant
secured OF her by threats, and squandered.
Within two weeks of the date OF their
marriage, she says, she gave him Sl,oOo
with which to pay his, individual debts,
and within four weeks. she learned, partly
by his own confession. that he had been
obliged 10 leave Rome, Ga. because OF
criminal charges filed there against him.
Their removal to Washington, IN 1880,
she asserts, was made suddenly, 10 Tue
great injury and damage of their Iurnl-
lure, and she believes this sudden move
was caused by his fear of punishment Ior
some offense committed there by him.
In conjunction with her mother aud
stcprather, Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Applcby,
she rented a home for them in different
parts of the city, the last time at No. Iolo
u street northwest, and that in no Instance
did he ever fulfill his part Of the agree
ment.
His demands for money during all this
time were persistent, and were by reason
of threats and Intimidation always COIL
piled with. on one occasion, she asserts,
he twisted her ears 10 force her To give MIN
money, and at divers times subjected her Ia
annoyaDccs and indlgnities, and threw
shoes at her and her mother, and threat
eGed to kill his wife, the complainant.
He is alleged to have kept a pistol always
at hand, with which he enforced his de-
mands for cash. He thus compelled her To
satisfy bis exccsses, and e-cn took her
Jewels and pawDed them, upon which he
raised money for his own uses.
He was frequently under the iufluence
OF liquor, she charged, and at such times
was violent and abusive, and would tell
her of the violent things he had done at
previous times when angry as means Of
frightening her. AT one time after he had
discovered that she knew of a charge that
he had forged some signatures To important
papers he was so enraged and sn abusive
that in fear OF his violence she Threatened
TO jump out of the window.
Since be left her about two years ago,
she says, ne has threatened her and has
often sought to gain an entrance To- the
house.
Kirkpatrick has been in the real estate
business here for several years and occu-
pies an office at NJ. 1927 F street.

Princess Bonnie Coming.

Dainty as n morning DREAM, is the New
York Herald Is epit,me of Willard Spenser's
successful comic opera, Princess Bonnie y
which will be the attraction at the
Lafayette Square Opera House next Mon
day night. The opera is one of the most
successful that has been written by an
American composer, and enjoys the dis
tinguished record uf having run eco
nights in Philadelphia and played long
engagements in New York, Boston and
other cities. 1t is nuw in its third season
The line above quoted fits aptly to the
delightful and sprightly quality OF Mr..
Sponsors music, the wholesome character
of his hJmur, and the tender sentiment oi
the romantic story.
The east will be the same as In New York
and includes Miss Hilda Clark, pretty
young Southern woman, who has made a
big hit as Princess Bonnie: clever Jennie
Goldth waite in her original character OF
Kitty Clover, the summer girl; Fred Lennnx,
the comedian, and others who were in the
original cast. The chorus numbers over
fifty voices and was trained under the
personal direction of the composer.
The opera will be presented here with
entirely new scenery, costumes and other
accessories. The production is said 10 be
a very beautiful and complete one. Sale of
seats opens Thursday morning.

C,mplaint of women About the Print
ing Office Bindery.

Reductions in the amount of work given
certain employees in the Government fIiit-
ing Office has resulted In a renewai Oh
that dissatisfaction which so often nun
ifeSts itself but seldom without suiiicieht
cause in that branch 0f the public service
IL is stated on the highest authority as
n mntter OF fact that more than one nun
.lrpd young women who sew DOCKS III the
bipfierv have for the past two months
been unable to earn in excess OF 90 anu
81 cents per day, according 10 the ciass
Of labor performed.
This rate of compensation allows these
women but $50 and S5.S2 with whlcn
to meet all their expenses Of living ana
maintenance. Many Of them are from
distant portions of the country, having
no relatives or friends in TINS city, ana
the small pittances received are utterly
inadequate to pay their board ana en-
able them to exist with even the most
rigid economy.
B;t in this instance it seems that Calam-
jty has been piled upon Adversely. Quite
recently each sewer in the bindery has
been compelled TO submit to one day $
furlough in each week.
This enforced idleness reduces the
weekly remuneration Ia S4.2S and Sf-eo.
This practically means distress, II not
partial starvation, to all those except the
few WHO live with their parents or other
relatives. A more p:titul cnndltipn OF

With the low limit nf work given TO these
employees, some or the women report IoI
duty at eight O'Clock in tie morning, ana
are on tlieir way home before eleven
o. clock. having completed all that is re-
uulred OF them in less than three hours.
For some reason that has not yet been
disclosed q large amount of work formerly
done IN Tie bIDdery has been transferred
10 tile folding room, where the girls work
in sections and wien they are not engaged
in folding sheets they sew books. At
the close of the day The proceeds are dl-
vided pro rata among those constituting
the section.
The startling assertion is advanced, IN
authority uf the most apparent reliabihty,
that il is believed the present system IN
the bribery has been inaugur;Ited without
the knowledge ur consent of Public Printer
Benedict. The opinion prevails that the
subordinates in charge or these departments
have acted in this matter entirely on their
own responsibility and without having

There are great many people whu don't
know that the kidneys are simply filters.
All the blood made by the food We eat
passes through our kidneys.
The kidneys separate what is bad rrcm
what is goud, what is unhealthy from what
is healthy, throw uut the bad and let the
good pass on to nourish our body.
And this Is going un every minute OF our

or Skin Diseases, Pimples, Blotches, Erup-
lions, etc.
1t may seem wonderful that one medicine
should be able to cure all these diseases
but when we remember that they are all
caused by impure blood, aud that tue i'm

comes a question of simple common sense.
The kidneys make pure blood.

The Regular meeting of the L'Overture
Lyceum was held in its club rooms, No.
l2l3 seventeenth street northwest last
night and the principal topic for discussion
was the announcement of Father Griffith.
from the st. Augustine pulpit, ON Sunday.
that the lyceum would moi be further rrcop-
nzed by the Church Of st. Augustine.
Inc cause of the disagreement between
the pastor and the lycvunl is over the fact
that for some months, according to one
of the officials of the club, they have been
making extraordinary arrangements for
a ban 70 be given at the Colored Odd Eel
lows Han on Thanksgiving evening
Recently Father Griffith has arranged
Tor lecture to be given at the Church
Of st. Augustine on the same evening or The
Dall, III aid of tile church, and he wanted
the bah postponed. This the club refused
TO do, and accordingly the pastor made a
public announcement that the church would
not further recognize the club.
DR.. W. >. Lotion, presided over Ia st nigh s
meeting, and while some ur the members.

expressed themselves as 81 i'll of the faith

that it was not their business To consult

were silver chatting dishes. silver uteDsil
of this order went beyond my pocketbook,
but going within to inquire l found the
fascinating article in nickel, and also in
brass, and these were to be had for prices
ranging from the very modest figure of
S2.25 to that OF 500, which is not bad
itself. ! was divided In my desire between
nickel and brass, but decided in favor of
the latter, as it would match a squatty little
kettle on the next table that l determined
to own. 1t was very love of kettle, and
only S3.75. To be sure there were kettles
at Sf.50, not bad either, but l had my eye
on the other first, and 1t hypnotized me.
The song of the kettle could not possibly
be omitted so sweetly by any other one, I
thought, and so l ordered my two choices,

drawing room, that had been marked a way

HAZING AT THE NAVY YARD.
Board of Inquiry. BegiD1o Investigate q
the Charges

the CnGrgeS.
A board of inquiry convened yesterday at
the navy yard TO investigate the charges of
haZinG preferred by the colored members
of the class of seamen gunners, rs ex-
clusiveiy published i'll The Morning Times
Il few days ago. The court was composed
of the following officers: Commander
Washburu Maynard and Lieut.. w ".
kimball, with Ensign Warren /. rcrhune
as recorder. These gentlemen have been
detailed because OF their entire disinteI-
estcdness in the matter, none or them being
stationed al the yard.
The inquiry VIII probably prove of more
Interest than would appear at first s.'glIt,
as there is said to be a growing feeling
of race prejudice among the enlisted men,
aud should the court OF inquiry approve
the charges in rs findings, several courts
martial will follow.
Several Officers were called before the
court yesterday afternoon. Commodore
J. A. Howell, commandant of the yard,
was the first witness called, and stated
that lie had no personal knowledge OF
the haZing. The first heard of the matter
was several weeks ago, when complaint
was made that William johnson. n col
ored seaman. had been assaulted on the
night OF October IS by a fellow seaman.
An investigation was made, but did not
develop any startling facts. and the matter
was supposed TO be PERSONAL affair be-
tween the men.
Ensign q W. Williams. in charge of
the scaman's class in gnnnery, was next
called. He testified that he also knew
nothing personally of the matter. He had
made a report to his superior officer at
the time of the affray between the men.
and had also sent memorandum to the
commandant. In which he stated his views
ON the practice of having classes OF white
and colored men.
At the conclusion of Ensign Williams
testimony the court adjourned until 10
O'clock todav.
