from the Professor.

Judge Cox Refused to Grant Her Divorce
from the Professor.
DR.. Wilhelm Bernhardt, professor of
German in the public schools, is vindi-
Gated by the decision of Judge Cox yes
terday in the divorce case brought two
years ago by his wife. Judge Cox
dismissed the suit
The couple were married az Reading,
Pa, October l, 1892 Mrs. Bern =
Exeter. n. II. She had been a photogra-
pher. They met while he was teaching
in grammar school at Exeter
Soon after their wedding. she alleged,
he began to treat her badly, and within
two months had struck her several times
with his fist, and had knocked her
down upon a sofa, causing a wound in
her back which grew into a fistuia and
had to be removed by surgical operation.
His display of bad temper arose from such
trifliDg causes as her coming home be-
tween and 8 p. m. in winter from
a visit to her dressmaker She left him
within three months, and returned to her
home at Exeter.
Dr. Bernhardt's defense was that be
had not been guilty OF the alleged cruel
treatment, tlaJ the trouble was caused
by Mrs. Lawrence, his mother in law
He said ne had married rather unwiIlingly
after telling Mrs. Lawrence that she, who
was only twenty-four years old, was too
spirited for a man OF his age, who was
fixed in his habits. But she replied
that she wanted a settled home.
After their marriage there was some
dispute over money furnished Mrs. Bern
hardt. Mrs. Lawrence came to live with
them also, and that aggravated their
troubles greatly.
The testimony of Mrs. Margaret II.
Montgomery, of No. 100 Eighth street,
and several others was taken in the case.
They corr oborated Mrs. Bern hardt's
statements as to violent quarrels, but
only par tally sustained her accounts
of cruel treatment.
Mrs. Lawrence, the mother-in-law, tes-
titled that she had been called upstairs
by her daughter one night after the the
atre by DR.. Bernhardts attempting 10
strike her daughter. On the other hand
Mrs. Montgomery testified that she had
been surprised by Mrs. Bernhardt's pro-
posal for the professor to make over his
property to her on the ground that he
might lose it.

SHE PITIEs MRS. CLEVELAND.
"I do not think there is any pleasure in
living at the White House, for it is neces-
sarily place of restraint and where one
cannot mingle as freely as one wishes with
friends on a footing of comfortable inti-
macy. 1t must be confining place in
order to escape publicity, and the hard work
attendant on such functions as the public
receptions is such that do not see how
Mrs. Cleveland can undergo it so steadily.
lone cannot foreteIl what man in public
life may do when such high compliment
is paid him but am sure that neither Mr..
Wilson nor any one else has thought OF his
being a candidate for President"
Mrs Richard Z Bland, wife the member
from Missouri, is a handsome woman with
dark hair and big gray eyes, while her
face is one OF striking matronly beauty.
She was busy packing to return toherWestern
home when the correspondent called, but
dropped her work long enough to say that
she had no idea that her husband would
ever receive such a compliment
''I know that Mr. Bland is deeply inter
ested in the success of silver and has devoted
the past twenty years ofhis life to the study
of finances in connection with the free
coinage of the white metal ] also know
it is likely that strong patty will be organ
that party viii be is something hard 10 tell
There are many able men who hold the same
views, such as Senators Teller and Stew
art. and while Mr. Bland viii be one of
the champions of the party, it is scarcely
likely that he viii be chosen to lead.
SHE WOULDN'T OBJECT.
II cannot say that I would object 10 his
accepting such position, or that 1
would have any dislike TO his gaining
new honor. for it is only natural that a
woman would like to have her husband
succeed. and / VIII he glad to have my
husband achieve all the success that he
can win "

Congress. Mrs. Stevenson, who is a Ken

she is in character, and with her kind, un-
selfish ways, has made more friends in tie
few years she has been at the Capital than
| most women could do in life time And
were a vote taken to-day, there is little
doubt that she would be counted amongst
the most popular ladies Of the land.
Senator Allison is strong candidate on
the Republican side, but his home, which

there is no loving wife to brighten the dreary

1t really might interest psychologist
to determine why the large majority OF
women cannot pass counter of loosely
displayed dress goods, especially silks,
and still more especially if they are marked
as bargain, without stopping to finger
one or more pieces. 1t doesn't seem to
matter in the least whether or not she has
the remotest intention OF purchasing, her
hand goes out instinctively and fold of
the stuff is rubbed critically between her
thumb and finger, sometimes accompanied
by searching glance, but quite as often
not. Perhaps the gloved thumb and finger
of the shopping woman through long prac-
tice acquire familiar sensitiveness like
the finger tips OF the Treasury girls who
detect counterfeit bills by a highlydeyel-
oped sense of touch. At any rate, the most
casual observer of the shopping woman
must have noticed this almost universal
popularity; ffnot, let him station himself for
five minutes near bargain counter of tat
feta silks, for instance, from beautiful
stock and marked their price 9S cents,
ours 80 cents and see how many of the
surging throng OF women viii pass that
counter without lingering the silks, provid-
ing they can get within arms length of the

THE SONG OF THE GRIP.

with apologies to Tom Hoods
With never ceasing movement
With heavy and aching head,
Existence seems to have lost its charm.
And / feel I'd be better off dead.
Ache, ache, ache,
In every limb and Joint,
Like numberless needles entering in,
Or the thrust of poniard point.
Clutch, clutch, clutch,
AT my throat seems tightening hand;
Throb, throb, throb.
Round my head seems pressing band;
And shiver and shiver and shake
As the cold chills freely play
Wit hnever-ceasing movement
Along my verterbrae.
Out upon this cruel fiend
Who holds me in his graspl
And, oh, for a potent talisman
That will free me from his clasp
But better still, far better,
Had he given me the slip;
Then ne'ey been called upon
TO sing the song Of the grip.

His Explanation of the S22, 400 Recently
Paid Into the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, August 26.-Librarian
Spofford, In view of the various con-
hiottng statements regarding the eum
OF sea, 400 paid by him into the Treas
ury last week, WAS asked to-day what
the amount really represented. He re-
piled that 1t WAS approximately the
amount due the Treasury on balance of
copyright and salary accounts, as he
found 1t:
An unfavorable and wholly wrong
construction, he said. had been placed
upon 1t as representing large deficit.
whereas 1t was actually balance be-
tween two accounts, q salary accouns
due the librarian for several months
disbursements, and an account due the
government for several months cow
right fees.
These acts had remained unsettled,
although constant payments had been
made by him to the number of ten or
twelve during 1894 and 1895 of copy
right receipts, amounting to over S55,
600, besides the S22, 400 now deposited.
He emphatically denied any allegation
that the recent repayment WAS made to
make good any wrongful WITHHOLDING
OF moneys due to the government.
On the contrary. the whole matter in.
volved balancing OF delayed accounts,
which his accumulated labors, CON
stantly growing, had too long postponed.
All copyright receipte had been entered
daily, with dates, sources and amounts
whether small or large, duly noted and
he (Spofford) held himself responsible
for the same.

to whether the Port Royal dock will
