THE FAD FOR vIoLETs.
shamroclxs Sought to Crowd Ont the
Modest Flowers.

The popular violets had a rival on the
streets yesterday afternoon in the green
shamrock. For months past the violets
have reigned supreme, but yesterday the
green came near throwing the violets in
the shade. At the theaters every woman
wore either a bunch of artificial violets or
a shamrock leaf or piece of green ribbon
Some wore both the violets and the green
There were many people on the streets,
and judging by the green seen. at least one
half of the population of Indianapolis is
Irish Many of the stores gave away green
souvenirs in honor of the approach of the
anniversary OF the patron saint of Ireland
Many windows were decorated with green
and the green did it's best to eclipse the
violet. The manufacture and sale of arti-
fetal vioiets has interfered seriously with
the business of the florists Violets have
always been in demand during the winter
and early spring, but the price demanded
for them has always been high. The arti-
fcial article is now so cheap that every
body can own a bunch, and they are war;
rarted never to wear out. The New York
women, who rebelled at the prices demand
ed by florists for real violets, set the fad
for the artificial ones, and now half the
women in the country wearing them
judging by the women of this city.

| ployed by the c., c., c. & ST. l.. railway

son, who is at present a resident of Co
| lumbus o. Anderson says that he was
| married to the defendant at Columbus in
June, 1884, and separated from her in the
same city three years ago. The complaint
| which was prepared by Anderson himself,
recites curious story of marital unhap-
piness In 1891 the father of Mrs. Ander-
son, who had been sojourning in Europe
returned to America and took up his resi-
dence with his son-in-iaw. The latter de-
clares that the old gentleman was addicted
to bibulous habits which We're also con-
tracted by his daughter. the defendant,
and both were in the habit of imbibing
together. They would go out at night and
leave the plaintiff in charge of four small
e chi, and when he would demonstrate
she had no affection for him. Once she
said her dislike for him was so bitter that
the proper maternal affection.
Some time after the arrival of his father
that his wifes mother appeared in his
home and induced her daughter to sell GER
tain xarr property perry In making the sale it is
estate dealer named John Scarf with whom
she aftefward conducted herself in an i'm
proper manner. The plaintiff says that at
the time he separated from the defendant
he was in the enjoyment of an excellent
position with the Case Manufacturing Com
pany, of Columbus. BY reason of his wifes
opportunities and annoyances after their
separation he says he was compelled to
give up his position. He went to Cincinnati
and began work for the c.. c., C. & ST L.
railway and a year ago came to Indian
apolis with his children, placing them
under the of his mother Among other
specific acts set out in the complaint is
