WOES OF JUNE BRIDES
FIVE IN ONE DAY ASK THE COURT
TO DIVORCE THEM.
A Grocer Wants $4,000 Because q
Customer Said He Sold Whisky
without a License.

The June season of hymeneal happenings
is not without its hymeneal infelicities.
judging by the tales told in the divorce
complaints filed yesterday. Five June
brides prayed the courts for surcease from
alleged unbearable domestic woes. OF
these Mrs. Hattie s. r. Cpmback, wife OF
Oliver I. Cumback, an engraver, has per-
haps the most doleful tale. Sac alleges
that her husband, thrifty man, has for
some years denied her proper support, and
has forced her to leave his home, on one
occasion kicking her valse full of clothing
after her. She alleges that some time ago,
although she was in feeble health and help
less he rented back dingy room on Mas
sachusetts avenue and told her to live
there or nowhere. She says he is the own
er of property on Archer street valued at
$780, and has note secured by mortgage
for $780, This note, she alleges, he told her
he had donated to temperance society.
She asked divorce, the restoration of the
name of Sarah p. Wallace, $1,000 alimony
and an order preventing the defendant
from selling or inchmbering his property.
The last request is the only one granted
by the court so far.
Allie o. Van Blaricum, who seeks a sep
aration from George NJ. Van Blaricum,
sawmaker, charges him with threats and
overt acts of a homicidal character and
alleges that on one occasion he took his
razor from his pillow 10 execute a threat
Of violence. She says her life was in such
danger that she left him.
Other divorces asked were: Addie Cigar
from Thomas Cigar, on allegations of cru
| city; Frank from Estelle Prunk, for aban-
donment; Susan H. Cooper from Charles
M. Cooper, for cruelty and intoxication
and Sue from George M. Thornberry, for
abandonment. Mrs. Thornberry wants her
| maiden name of Campbell restored and the
custody of her five children.

CRIMINAL COURT CASES.
Two IncOrrigibles Released on Sus-
pended Sentence.

There were tears and walls in the Grim
inal Court yesterday morning. They We're
caused by the penitence and fear of Tony
Catalini and Charles Dinges. the boys
whose depredations on all sides have given
the police concern for many months. The
boys parents sought to have them sent
to the Reform School and Judge McCray
was about to sign uo their commitments.
when Catalini began to wall and offer
promises of good behavior In the future If
he could have one more chance. The boys
held out stiffiy for long time, but when
the trip to the Reform School seemed sure
they broke down. After severely lecturing
them and exacting the most solemn and
serious promises Judge McCray released
them on suspended judgment.
Charles Tibbitts, alias r. II. Murray, who
obtained money at a hotel upon worthless
check, was sentenced to sixty-five days in
the jail. v,
Albert Stevens charged with assaulting
Nora Rafferty,, a child. was convicted by
jury on criminal charge and sentenced
to three years imprisonment.
William Lawhorn, charged with stealing
two mileage tickets from DR.. Metzler, was
acquitted by the court

Argument for the Gold Standard.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Republican national convention at st.
Louis should declare not only against free
silver, but emphatically for gold mono
metallism. All the talk about a double
standard. silver az measure of values
and so on, is the sheerest rot. Gold mono
metallsm is exactly what we now have,
have always had and must continue TO
have il we would not put ourselves at a
disadvantage in our commercial relations
with the remainder of the world and at
the mercy of our enemies. For there can
not be two measures. whether of weights
or values or lengths. which are at once
one and not one. Any eye can see that in
relation to everything but money. There
used 10 be in the arithmetics-possibly still
are-tables of length measures. for In

and the French. differing from each other
and from both the, above. If a Fleming
wished 10 buy cloth of an Englishman an
agreement had 10 be reached on measure
menrs. of course. else there could be no
agreement on price. II is exactly so as to
money. People whose moneys differ must
find common standard of values If they
would deal with each other precisely as
when dealing with weights and lengths and
capacities and as the tendency Is towards
the adoption of a uniform-the metric-sys-
tenn OF measures for all the world in deal
ing with materials, so 1t Is towards the
adoption of uniform and unvarying
standard for the measure OF values in

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Mr.. Cline wrote in the Journal of June s
in favor of free coinage Of glass, and you
gave editorial attention to his letter in the
issue of June 9. You should not show so
much partiality The farmer, under glass
coinage, would again have to stand
back. and could not lift his mort
gage, as he does not buy many
whisky bottles nor beer bottles;
he has some glass fruit jars. but not
enough to put him on an equality with the
city gentlemen and ladies' Let me suggest
a new idea. the carrying out of which
would result in benefits to all. Cotton once
was king. but now iron wears the crown,
and is king" of all metals. Now 1t is a
shame and a disgrace that king Iron" is
treated so shabbiy. The king should be in
style. and this is not the case now. In and
about every farmyard you will find part of

shape of old and wornout binders. mowers.

printing presses and machinery would be
worn out--well, only too quick. Oh, what a
boom we would havel All the factories
would run day and night: millions and mill
lions of laboring men would be employed.
Just think of II. We have a class of people

The Cut. in Western Rates.

Western roads are now talking of enter
ing into an alliance with the $500 in the
hope of getting back at the Joint Traffic
Association for refusing to join with them
in meeting $500 rates out of St. Paul on
the wool traffic. The Western roads pro-
pose to turn all the dairy product traffic of
Minnesota and the Dakotas over to the
$500 road at st. Paul and allow IL all the
haul from that point to the seaboard. thus
depriving the Joint Traffic roads of any
share I'm the haul. The traffic in dairy
products is now at it's height Ii is quite
important, but still il seems a roundabout
method for the Western roads to get re-
