considerable minimum in comparison
with the possible OUTPUT OF silver with
unlimited demand. II Is safe to say
that the United States and Mexico

one hundred times. Past experience
cannot accurately measure the pres
ent possibilities. The present methods

Also Objected to Ills Wife Wearing Short
Dr, SS,S.

bTt SSsS.
Testimony in divorce proceedings
were heard yesterday before Judge
Gunster In chambers. Court Stenogra-
pher w. ID. CostOn took the evidence.
Attorney Hulslander appeared for the
lbellant, Mary Cowles, who desires to
be freed from the matrimonial yoke
which she espoused with Raymond j.
Cowles on Dec. 9, 1883.
They were welded at the house of her
uncle, James McGinnis. in the North
End, by Rev. u. w. Shepherd, and they
lived together until Sept. II, 1893, when,
as she alleges. through ill-treatment
she was compelled to leave him. She
now resides ut Dalton. She said her
first trouble was when her husband be-
came jealous. His brother, Edward,
came to visit them one day ana she had
on a short dress. She was Scolded and
| rebuked for immodesty by her husband
and on many occasions afterward he
| exhibited ugliness of temper toward
her. Mrs. Maggie Williams swore she
was at their house on July A, 1882 and
| in her presence Cowles hit his wife.
Miss Lydia Moore was present on one
occasion and she heard him complain
| about the food set before him and he
was cross and ugly.
Mrs. Addie McGinnis. aunt of the
libellant, was visiting their house one
day and Cuwles came home drunk in
the evening, she said. and began to
abuse his wife. James MciGnnis testi-
fled that Cowles was drinking man.
Cowles once told the witness that Mrs.
Cowles nut poison in medicine he was
taking while he was sick. That ended
| the testimony.
