FIGHT OVER A CHILD
CHICAGO DIVORCE CASE WITH A
SENSATIONAL FEATURE.
Disclose the Whereabouts of Her
LOng-Hidden Girl.

CHICAGO, July 3-Judge Payne to-day
entered an order in the divorce case of
Alonzo E. Cottier against his wife, Lizzie
Cottier. to compel Mrs. Cottier to disclose
the whereabouts of their child, Florence,
who has not been seen by her father for
twelve years. In 1888 Mrs. Cottier admitted
to the Buffalo police that she had thrown
the child into the Niagara river. Then she
was confined in the State Insane Asylum.
4 short time after this Mrs. Cottier said
that she had given her child to friends, who
are in possession of her. When the divorce
suit was begun in Chicago Cottier made a
motion TO have, his wife disclose the where
abouts of the child as he did not know
whether il was living or dead She an
swered by a petition stating that in 1898
just previous to her statement that the
child was drowned she had given the child
to woman who had kept and reared it
ever since In luxury; that she had not seen
the child for two years, and had agreed
with the person who had possession OF the
girl that she would not make any COM
munication with her unless something seri-
Gus happened to the child Mrs. Cottier
also set up that she did not know where
the child was at present. and declined to
give any information as TO its whereabouts
on the ground that IL the father found out
he would harass the child.
The answer of Mrs. Cottier shows that
her husband is a man worth $4,000. He is
living in Chicago, although not engaged in
any permanent business. He has large in
terests in Buffalo, which place he left in
1893 in order. as his wife claims. to obtain
a divorce. For a number of years Mrs.
Cottier has been engaged in New York and
Washington an expert Stenographer.
Judge Payne says that the woman must
disclose the whereabouts OF the child. but,
il necessary he will give an injunction pre-
venting Cottier from any communication
with the child until the case is heard.

POOR GARDEN SEEDS.
Large Amount Annually Sold tC
American Farmers.

WASHINGTON. July 3.-An immense
amount of poor seed is sold to American
farmers and gardeners. according to a re-
port recently issued by the Agricultural
Department. While other countries for
many years have been looking into the
subject with view to protecting their ag-
riculturists from abuses IN the seed trade
no Investigations have been made in the
United States. except at a few experiment
stations. Great apathy prevails, however,
among the purchasers Of seed, who, as a
rule, buy the cheapest in the market and
trust to luck for 1t to produce the crop.
Such seed, says the report. is dear at any
price, and the principal source of the hosts
of bad seeds whose eradication costs vastly

seed has acqMied poor reputation in for

of the department will suggest that the
preparations of the soil be sufficiently
thorough and deep TO insure absorption OF
the whole rainfall. The water must be alb

near the surface to be available TO plants as
needed. Cultivation should be frequent and

HANGED HER LOVER
OF ALBERT BLACKMAN
EXPLAINED BY HIS FIANCEE.
She Lurcd Him to Tree to Test His
Love. Put a Rope Around His Neck
and Helped Pull Him Up.

RAMIRONA, Tex, July 3-The mystery
Of the hanging of Albert Blackman was
fully explained to-day when his hancee,
Miss Bessie Harris. made a full confession
in court. She said that Backman. who was
a well-to-do young farmer. had been court
ing her for some time in opposition 10 the
wishes of her parents. Her father and
mother did not object to the young man on
account of any OF his habits, for he was in
dustrious, sober and abundantly able to
provide a comfortable home for their daugh-
ter They maintained that she was too
young, being scarcely eighteen years of
age. and they had hoped she would take
a fancy to relative living in another
State. whose name she steadfastly refused
to divulge. Finding that they could not
change her affection for Blackman by
threats they adopted more certain method
and commenced a systematic attack on her
jealous nature. They told her Blackman
was simply making her ridiculous and that
he was engaged TO another girl She gave
him no chance to explain away the reports
her parents had furnished of him and did
not even mention that she suspected him
of infidelity.
At her fathers suggestion she requested
Blackman TO give her a test of his love
by letting her hang him, promising to cut
him down in time to save his life. Black
man was desperately in love with the girl
and he readily admitted to the test. On
the night of the murder she took long
walk with him and lured him TO lonely
spot, where her father was in hiding with
a rope. Excusins herself for a moment
she procured the rope and returning placed
IL about Blackman's neck. She says he had
little fear of the results. as he felt sure
she did not have strength enough to pull
him from the ground. After the rope had
been placed over the limb and
drawn taut her father appeared
and he and the girl pulled Blackman
up and tied the rope. The poor fellow strug-
gled terribly, and she would have cut him
down, but <her father mentioned the myth
hardened toward the lover who was slowly
strangling TO death After the body be-
came rigid she united the rope apd lowered
the form to the ground. Even then she felt
no pangs of remorse, but. with the assist
ance of her father arranged the body and
rope so that 1t would appear to have been a
case of suicide. Her confession caused a
pronounced sensation. and there was talk
of lynching the parents of the girl. This
was averted by the promptness OF the Of
fciais. who Immediately after her confess
sion placed them under arrest and spirited
them away. The girl has also been arrest
ed on charge of murder.

The Reconciliation, and the Cause of
Their Estrangement.

st. Louis Republic
Nothing more impressive in the clos
ing years of the century than the reconcil-
iation of Prince Bismarck the creator of
the German empire, and the young En-
peror. The event was the climax of the
great career OF Bismarck and a fitting ex-
emplification Of the Emperor's independ-
ence OF thought. The estrangement between
the Kaiser and the old Chancellor began
five and half years ago, some little time
after Wilhelm ascended the German throne
as the successor of his father. the EN-
peror Frederick. For nineteen years Bis
marck had been the practical ruler of the
empire. The old Kaiser, Wilhelm L. grand
father of the present Emperor, had ac-
quiesced in all the plans and suggestions
of Bismarck, whom he recognized as the
prophet of German Unifcation.

be the one TO direct German affairs and
