STEP.SON WAS A TARTAR.
Made Life Very Miserable for Mrs. Kate
l. BOycc Fuller

With the Assistance of His Father lie
Made Life Very Miserable for Mrs. Kate
J. BOycc Fuller.
Testimony in the divorce proceedings
of Mrs. Kate j. Boyce Fuller against
S. Gordon Fuller was heard before
Judge Edwards in chambers yesterday.
Attorney C. X. Pitcher appeared for
Mrs. Fuller. She now resides in this
city, but at the time of her marriage,
March Is, 1892, she lived at Lisle,
Broome county, n. Y. The ceremony
was performed by her brother, j. H.
Boyce. who is a clergyman.
Mr.. Fuller was widower with two
children when she married him, and the
eldest of these, boy of 16, proceeded
to make life as miserable for his step
mother as he could.
Mrs. Fuller says that prior to her
marriage her husband led her to be-
lieve that he was a pious, religious
man, but no sooner was the ceremony
performed than he proceeded to UNI
deceive her
Mr.. Fuller SwOre.
On the way home from the church.
Wnere their troth was 'plighted, he
swore much to the horror of his shrink
ing bride.
That was only a foretaste of what
the future had in store for her.
Mrs. Fuller declares that her husband
swore, proved himself an adept in the
use of profanity and was coarse and
vulgar as well as profane. Then he
began to abuse her and frequently
threw her out of the house. At other
times he locked her in rooms and re-
fused to let her out
To add to her misery her step-son
began to exceed her husband in brutal
ity. While they resided at Owego, N.
Y, young Fuller threw his mother
down one day, jumped on her and
then tied her with ropes. She ex-
pected momentarily to be killed.
Sent to the ReformatOry.
For this offense her step-son was con-
victed in the Owego courts and sent to
the Elmira reformatory.
Frank A. Darrow, Of Owego and Cora
A. Cotline, of Apalapen, Tioga county,
n. Y, corroborated the story of Mrs.
Fuller.

Frank y. White Made the Decided Hit of
the Evening"

Lew Dockstader and his comrarv Of
black-faced mirth provokers enter
tained a large audience at the Academy
of Music last evening. The company
is small and only a few members of it
belong to the first-class of minstrel
performers.
One of the decided hits of the evening
was made by Frank II. White, who is
one of the most irresistably funny
black-faced comedians seen in this city
in long time. There Is nothing forced
or stilted about his humor. 1t flows
spontaneously. .455@t$
Mr.. Dockstader in his monologue
made many happy and terse illusions
to matters pertaining to Scranton. The
new buildings being erected. the boule-
ward, Pauli's rowSon Spruce street, the
fall elections, Schadt's small plurality,
and other topics of local interest were
touched upon. So
There are several fine vocalists with
the company who rendered some new

they Mark the Antiquity Of Native Race.
bat DO Not Tell It's story.
Point Barrow. Alaska. the northern
most point Of land Of the North Amori-
can continent. has some interesting
graveyaris of It's own. About years
ago Lieutenant Ray. IN his report Of
the polar expedition TO Point Barrow,
recorded that in digging shaft 26 feet
below the earth's surface 10 obtain
earth temperatures he found a pair Of
wooden goggles. pointing TO the great
Lapse Of time since these shores were
first peopled. The Alaska Mining Rec
ord says that this country was undoubt-
edly inhabited long before Columbus
discovered America. OF the origin or
descent of the inhabitants no definite
trace has been found. and there are no
records Of the past among the people
who now live there. Their language
abounds in legends, bat none gives any
data by which to judge how long these
desolate shores have been inhabited.
The ruins of ancient villages and
winter huts along the seashore and in
the interior show that the country has
been inhabited for centuries. There are
mounds at Point Barrow marking the
site Of three huts dating back TO the
time when the natives had no iron and
the men talked like dog. These
mounds stand in the middle of a marsh,
and the sinking of the land caused the
site to be flooded and abandoned. The
inhabitants in times past have followed
the receding line of ice which at one
time capped the northern part of this
continent and have moved along the
easiest line of travel This is shown in
the general distribution of a similar
people. speaking a similar tongue, from
Greenland to Boring strait. The dis
tribution of the race today marks the
routes travelled The seashore led them
along the coasts of Labrador and Green
land, Hudson bay and its tributary
waters. They came down the Yukon, so
rich in minerals. to people the shores of
that stream and the interior Of Alaska,
and travelled along the coast to Cape
Prince Of Wales. To this day they use
dogs instead Of deer, the natives Of
North America having never domesti-
Gated the reindeer, and they speak a
different tongue from their neighbors
across the strait in Siberia.
Some writers ON the subject have adj
vanced the theory That the natives of
Alaska are descendants of the race of
people that Cortes drove ont of Mexico,
others that they are japanese or Chinese
in origin, and others still that they
came to this country across the strait
from Siberia. So far as definite infor-
nation is concerned, one guess is as
good as another. The lonely mounds
at Point Barrow mark the antiquity Of
the race, but they do not tell its story.

He LOST THE GIRL
But at . Satisfactory Dig IT His Rival
Before He Died.

II , and her father were great friends.
AS only four persons figure IN this story
it is unnecessary 90 mention names. He
had rival for her affections, and her
father could never understand why she
preferred the rival 10 him. One day
when he sat on the porch chatting with
her father she called him into the par
lor and told him frankly that she had
promised to marry his rival He did
not plead or beg He kissed her hand
with a sort of reverence, and then re-
turned to his seat on the porch and re-
newed the conversation with her father.
In those few moments everything seemed
to have changed for him. The sun did
not shine as brightly; the birds did not
sing as they did before Even the grass
and trees seemed scar and dead He had
expected what he had just heard, but
that did not seem TO abate the shock.
He was distract and moody. Her father
saw this and asked him the cause. He
blurted out the whole miserable truth.
Her father continued TO polish his
glasses carefully and then said:
"Wimmen folks is mighty onsartin
critters /" Her father said nothing more,
but nothing would change her mind.
Gradually it came TO be generally
known that he had been rejected, and
that his rival was the fortunate wooer.
They, he and his rival, were alumni of
the same college. He was down for a
speech at the alumni dinner. A month
before he had attended her wedding.
No one ever heard him complain, though
all knew how he suffered. He was
looked upon as the orator of his class,
and a great speech was expected. When
he arose, sinister glitter could be seen
in his eye. He began to speak slowly.
He took as his text Acquired Tastes. 4"
He spoke as length. Finally he said:
81 called upon dear friend some
time ago who had just had a daughter
married He felt his loss very keenly,
| tried to console him, telling him that
while he had lost daughter he had
gained a son. He said slowly TO me:
Maybe Twill come to like him
after awhile-like do my cigar, but
the first few puffs are making me
mighty sick. "

No Man Need Want Bread and Butter II
He Can Say "sombrero y Bota."
Some time ago two Chilean gentle
men, friends of each other, agreed TO
visit Europe One of them resolved to
proceed overland to Buenos Ayres, and
from thence to Montevideo, where he
would join the straits steamer, while
the other preferred to make the journey
by sea.
In due time the steamer arrived at
Montevideo, and the two friends met
again. After the customary salutations
were over they commenced to compare
notes of their respective trips. The trav-
eler by sea complained that the Chilean
stewards on board professed profound
ignorance of their native tongue and
persisted in answering all questions put
in that language with "What, STRIP or
''Beg pardon, sir ~ "Only imagine, "
he said, "that during all the voyage

considerable number Of Spanish words
which can be made to do duty as Eng

up the mouth and speaking harshly
through the teeth For instance, in the
case of pan con mantequilla, the Span
ish words to be employed are sombrero
bota. Make the trial and you will be
convinced Of the efficacy of my method. "
Next morning the two friends sat
down together to breakfast, and the
overland man, nudging his companion,
Whispered. "Try my method. I" Imme-
diately afterward one of the Chilean
mozos who was unable to comprehend
the meaning of pan con mantequilla ap-
preached, and the passenger, screwing
up his mouth and speaking through his
teeth, exclaimed, "Sombrero y bota. "
'Some bread and butter? Yes, sir, y
came the answer, and the passenger
had no difficulty after that in procuring
pan con mantequilla. -Chileg9 Times.
