Judge Cox yesterday signed a decree
awarding Mrs. Mary Jane Blschof a di-
vorce from Prof. John w. Bischoff. the
well-krown blind musician, who has for
many years been the organist Of the First
Congregational Church. The attorneys in
the case, and also the court 1t is said. de-
sired that there might be no publicity in
the matter, and hence the clerk of the
court did not note the action of the court
on the rough minutes. and not until late
in the afternoon was the disposition Of
the case placed on the docket.
The petition for divorce and almony was
filed by Mrs. Bischoff on the oath of last
December, the papers in the case being
withheld from publication. But, as here
tcfore stated III The Star, Mrs. Bischoff
charged her husband with desertion. The
parties separated several years ago. be-
cause, as was explained by friends. of an
unfortunate incompatibility Of temper.

also, 1t Is said, an interest in certain prop

Prof Bischoff made no opposition to the
divorce proceedings. and it is said that he
really desired that his wife should be sue
cessful In her suit against him. AS stated
in The Star at the time, the case was SUBJ
mitted to Judge Cox last month by Mrs.

Mr.. Hoehling contending that the parties
were not precluded from seeking divorce

to separate. In awarding Mrs Bischoff the

alimony in the sum of $1,000 year, to be
paid monthly and also directed that Prof
Bischoff pay the costs Of the suit and an
attorneys fee of 500.
The parties, it is said, were married some
twenty-five years ago at Mount Carroll,
ILL.,, Mrs. Bischoff being the daughter Of
Capt. Howard Vandergrift. They first met

Prospects Of Settling Amicably the
Eastern Dispute.
JAPAN MIGHT MODIFY Der CLAIMS
Might Change Her Territorial De-
mands.
THE REPORT FROM PARIS

PARIS, May 1.-The Matin says that
Japan is treating with Russia. France and
Germany, and that a peaceful settlement
of the matters in dispute, arising from Rus
sia's objections to the terms of the treaty
arrived at between China and Japan, Is
probable.
The Gaulois asserts that the three west
ern powers are about to achieve diplo-
matte victory, adding that Japan is in
clined to accept territorial concession in
another direction, which is agreeable to
Russia.
NEW YORK, May "a special to the
World from Toxic, Japan, says: Japan must
give her final answer to Russia by May Z.
The suspense and public anxiety are ter
rible. Nothing is known; everything is
dreaded. When mediation by the United
States was being discussed last November
by the authorities at Washington and
Toxic, President Cleveland prophesied a
league of European powers to deprive
Japan of the fruits Of victory. Thereafter
the powers were carefully notified of the
Japanese intentions. No opposition to them
vas ever manifested. The blow was re-
served until the treaty of peace had been
signed. V1scount MutZu, the minister of
foreign affairs, and Premier Ito's colleague
in the peace conference, is desperately Ill.
A dispatch to the London Times from
Pekin says: No decision has yet been
reached in regard to the ratification CT the
treaty of peace. Ii Hung Chang, the
senior Chinese peace envoy has arrived in
Pekin. and been given an audience CT the
emperor, but what action was agreed upon,
| If any, is court secret. No edict has yet
been published concerning the result of the
deliberations.
The Cologne Gazette publishes a dispatch
from st. Petersburg stating that there is
every reason to believe that the uuestio
arising from the Chinese-Japanese treaty
will be quickly and amicably settled, owing
| chiefly to Germany's cooperation with Rus

PROMPTLY ANSWERED.
General Ryan's COnundrum Didn't bother
the IrIshmnn For n Moment.

General Ryan's COnundrum O1oht I3otnox
the IrIshmnn For Moment.
One Of General Ryan's peculiarities
is that he never tells the same story to
the same man second time. Not long
ago he was talking about his travels in
the United Kingdom. II had always
thought" said he, "that tho famous
Irish wit and repartee were only to be
found ON the stage or in Levers novels,
but I came away from Ireland with
very different idea.
II was stopping at little country
inn, and q game Of cards was in prog
.sess. was invited to take hand, and
as an Americanized Irishman I thought
ought to keep up the reputation of tho
country for sociability. I asked what
they were playing, and they replied
'Forty-five,' an old time Irish game. I
told them that barely knew the rules,
but that ! could play seven up, euchre
or nearly any other American card game
But they insisted on my taking hand,
and did so. One Of the pages, who was
standing at the back Of my chair,
watched my hand pretty closely, and
the first time made bad play he said,
soto voce: Holy Moses, I niver see
such a play in me loife. I wonder
phwere the divil the mon cum FROM
I paid no attention to him, Of course,
and went ON with the game. The next
time I made bad play, and it wasn't
very long, he again said, talking to him
self, 'Bedad, niver did see mon play
the loikes Of that. I began to be an
uoyed, but still said nothing, although
man never likes to hear it said that
he plays game bad ", but the man was
talking to himself apd meant no harm.
However, when he broke out the third
time could contain myself no longer.
turned around and said, "Look here,
my friend, are you playing these cards,
or am II The Irishman looked at me
for moment, and then said, 'Nayther

II joined the rest Of them in the
laugh, and said, We'll, boys, order up;
that puts 'em on me. '"-Cincinnati

INGALLS, ON His Defeat.

Ex-senator Ingalls,, speaking Of his
defeat at Topeka in 1890 when he was
a candidate for reelection, said: when
tho returns came in and saw how over.
whelming my defeat was and what it
meant to me-the end of IS years serv-
ice in the American senate, possibly the
end Of my public life-I confess that
agony was in my soul. It was beauti-
full day. Everybody was watching me
to see how I was going to take tall
my family. 1t was a tragic hour. I
went over to my pasture and walked
through the withered wood. There in a
little grassy glade, sheltered from the
autumnal breeze, the sun shining cold
ly down, I opened the windows Of my
spirit and let that whole thing in on
me, and commanded my fortitude. !
sat there in that little dell until the
struggle was over, until I was MASTER
of myself"

AMENDED HER LIST.

She Now Declares That Lawyers Como
Under the Head Of Nuisances.
A few evenings ago a lawyer living
IN West Philadelphia was visited at his
residence by an indignant woman, who
declared that she had come for legal ad-
vice. aud in a businesslike manner de-
posted on his table q IS note as re-
tanning fee. After pocketing the money
the man Of law politely requested her
to proceed with her statement. She said
she was continually afflicted with Sc.
ries Of nuisances which she desired the
lawyer to have abolished.
She was annoyed by neighbor on
one side, she said, who is music teach
or and trainer OF the voice. The con-
slant humping ON the piano and the
discordant notes of tho vocal students
made her very nervous. On the other
side the neighbor kept chickens, which
awoke her early in the morning by their
growing and annoyed her during tho
day by flying over the fence and invad.
ing her premises. Day and night she
was made nervous by the noise Of the
trolley cars passing her door, organ
grinders and peddlers made her life mis-
cradle, hucl1sters added to her misery
by calling their wares, and she wanted
to know what action she must take in
order to be made free of such nuisances.
The lawyer reflected a few moments
with compressed brow, and then said,
Madam, you are decidedly unfortu-
nate, and my advice to you is that you

to secure for you a nice comfortable
dwelling in the suburbs Of some coun-
try village, where the nearest neighbor
is quarter Of mile away, organ grind
ers unknown, trolley cars unheard Of,
and where hucksters and peddlers do
not come" Realizing that she was Is
out, the woman replied, "I'll do as you
say and include among the others that
no lawyers must exist in the same couu-

On Catching Cold In Bed.

Mark Twain once wrote paper point
ing out the appalling danger Of going to
bed as exemplified in bills Of mortality.
For one person who died out Of his bed
several hundred succumbed in bed, and
now we have Mr.. Ashby-Sterry drawing
attention to the same thing Hitherto
he has hymned in graceful verse panta-
lets, frills and the tempestuous petit
coat, and now, quantum mutatus alb
lilo Hectore, he lauds the pyjama. In a
recent number Of The Graphic he says:
II have theory that most people
catch cold at night after they are in bed,
and 1t is to this fact that attribute a
great deal Of the violent colds, the bron-
chial catarrhs and influenza which have
recently been so prevalent. The temper
allure goes down suddenly in the night,
and people catch cold when they are
asleep without knowing 1t. This evil is
to be counteracted, not by piling on q
lot Of heavy blankets, but by wearing
thick, close fitting garments Of py-
jamalike nature and warm socks on the
feet. IF this system were adopted, am
quite certain that it would be found
beneficial
There is common sense in this. Peo-
pie unquestionably may catch cold in
bed, especially if there are at all rest
less and so kick the bedclothes off. In
that event If only clad in thin cotton
nightshirt they are sure to catch cold.
whereas If clad in pyjamas, not necessa-
rily thick, but made Of some wooden
material, the chance Of a chill is much
lessened. -London Lancet.

Steam Attachment to Telephone.

Manager Fowler Of the Telephone ex.
change, Ashland, KY, has devised an
ingenious attachment for telephones, to
be used in factories and shops where the
amount of noise makes it almost impos-
sible to hear the call bell Of the instru-
ment. 1t consists of a steam whistle,
which is turned on by means Of a lever
operated by magnetism. When the in.
strument is called from the exchange
the bell rings as usual, and, by the cleo
trical current passing through mag
net, a weight is released which pulls
the lever to the whistle. Once started,
the whistle keeps up it's shrill note un.
til some one answers the call and turns
off the steam, which is done by simply
replacing the weight. One of these at
tachments is being placed at the local
steel plant, another at the tannery and
several mote will probably be installed
in sawmills and similar establishments.

An Odd Wager.

A queer wager is the one popularity
believed to have been won by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh from Queen Elizabeth. ON
the debatable question Of how much
smoke is contained in pound Of to-
bacco. A pound Of the article was
weighed, burned and then weighed in
ashes, and the question was held to be
satisfactorily settled by determining the
weight Of the smoke as exactly that Of
the tobacco before being burned, minus
the ashes. The fact Of the ashes having
received an additional weight by COM
bination with the oxygen Of the at,nos-
phere was unthought Of by Elizabeth
and the knight.
