FiReld Divorce Case.

Mrs. Sarah C. Fifield late Saturday after
noon again entered suit for divorce from
Policeman Joseph N. Fiield. After repeat
ing the allegations and accusations set
forth in the bill of complaint of the origi-
nal suit, Mrs. Fifield explains that October
% last her husband persuaded her to con-
sent to dismissal of the first suit, where
in an allow ance of alimony was made for
her support, and that he has ever since
persisted in taking advantage of such dis
missal to refuse support to the plaintiff.
Continuing, Mrs. Fifield takes occasion
to state that she was compelled, because
of her husbands conduct, to leave his
house, and although many times after her
departure she offered to return to him as
his wife, yet he repeatedly refused to listen
to her or to pay any attention to her let
ters to such effect, and never until within
the past two years. she says has he asked
her to return to him, and such requests
have been made in such a manner to
convince her that it would be dangerous
to her life and health to accept such Of
fers. In view of the circumstances Mrs.
Fifield for the second time asks the court
to legally separate her from her husband.

The Rights Of Privacy.

The illustrated journalism now
prevalent finds Its finest achieve.
ments in the publication Of photo
graphs surreptitiously taken. The
value does not seem to lie in the fact
that the photographs are Of nota-
bilities, but that they have been
taken by stealth when the SUBJECTS
were unconscious of the purpose of
the person manipulating the camera.
Indeed it Is . we'll known fact that
at least one Of the newspapers Of
New York keeps o photographer
busy in the streets Of the metropo-
lis taking snap shots" at every
person who appears to be of oonse-
quenoe. These are used at once or
fled away for use when occasion
arises. Now, such practices are un-
questionably invasions of the right
of privacy, but We are told by the
courts that the victims Of such prao.
tices may not restrain by injunction
the publication Of photographs 80
taken, but that the remedy lies in a
recovery for damages.
This is no remedy at all, for the
chances would be that some dema-
gogue of judge would declare that
the hurt was but fanciful and too
inappreoiable for a merely earthly
tribunal to estimate.--North Amer

Shaking Mins,ets Of Ispahan.

When l first CAME in sight of the
minarets, I confess that my expeota-
tons were woefully disappointed.
Instead of the graceful, airy forms of
bright oolored tiles and gliding I
had anticipated ! saw two oonstruo.
tons exactly like the brick ohilnneys
of an American foundry, rising some
20 or 80 feet above the roof of a
dilapidated mosque. l felt inclined
to turn tail and ride homo again.
Their custodian. however, prevailed
on me to ascend one of the narrow
stairs which lead to their SUBMITS.
He mounted one and / the other, and
as soon as We were aloft he signaled
attention" and commenced sway
ing his body slowly backward and
forward. Both the minaret We were
on and the one IL or II yards off
followed his motions and began to
bend and sway like plant willow
wands. In few moments their os-
cillstion became so great, and we
got 80 far out Of the perpendicular,
that began to repent my curiosity
and was glad to descend to terra
frma. It Is not difficult to under
stand that single tower can be g.
constructed that q man at its to,
can make It osoillate. The myster..
ia, how he can make second tower,
at distance, participate in that o.
cillation.-Outing.
