AN ENGINEERS WOES.
Sued by His Wife's Aunt for q Board
Bill for His Spouse.

Sued by His Wife's Aunt for Board
Bill for His Spouse.
Justice of the Peace Carroll had an inter-
esting case to decide yesterday when a
husband was sued by his wife's aunt for the
maintenance of his spouse for two months.
Several months ago Joseph Moninger, a
marine engineer, welded the pretty niece
of Mary a. Turner, and for a time the
relations OF the pair were those of turtle
doves, but dissensions finally crept in and
Mrs. Moninger became dissatisfied with a
husband who was much of his time at
sea, and left his bed and board and went
to reside with her aunt.
After she had remained there two
months the aunt sued Moninger for $50
for board of her niece.
The plaintiff claimed that the defendant
had agreed to pay the board at the rate of
$25 per month, and that though the
amount sued for had been demanded, the
engineer refused to liquidate. Moninger
in his defense denied that he had guar
anteed his wife's keep for more than q
week.
Justice Carroll took the matter under
advisement in order to give the pair a
chance to patch up their differences and
resume the relations of man and wife.

THREE YEARS FOR DAISY
The Woman Given Light Sentence by
Judge Wallace-Her Plea for
Marrow,

Daisy Brown, or Daisy Cohen, was given
light sentence by Judge Wallace yester-
day. That is, it was considered light by
her attorneys and herself. She was sent
to the penitentiary for three years. when
the statute says she could have gone for
fifteen.
The defendant was convicted of burglary
in the first degree for having entered the
room of William Selfridge, on invitati on
it is true, but with the intention of rob-
bing him. She stole $50, which was after
ward found sewed into one of her sleeves.
She is the first woman to be convicted of
burglary in the first degree in this State.
Sentence was passed upon her yesterday
morning by Judge Wallace, who denied a
motion for new trial, and listened with
patience to plea for mercy from the
woman's s attorney. 1t was urged that she
was new to crime and was under the influ-
ence of liquor when she committed the
theft. She is the daughter of well-known
people in Baltimore.

This plan OF Withdrawing general con-
troll of coast business from San Francisco
is viewed with misglvings by more than
one general manager, and by several in
surance clerks and brokers as well. 1t may
prove complete success, because it will
obviate outlay in the salary of the general
manager, office rent, incidental expenses
and salaries of the Office staff Besides, it
will give the home office a new power over
rates, since the local agents are more easily
handled than general managers who have
full control. The possibility of it's adop-
ton IN other offices has created the un-
easiness which is apparent in insurance

Temple, on Fifth street, for the relief fund
of the Catholic Ladies' Aid Society. The
subject will be announced in all the daily
papers early next week. 1t is earnestly
hoped that every one interested in the
cause of charity will attend this lecture.
The Catholic Ladies' Aid Society has
always been foremost in all public good
work and would like to continue to do so,
but owing TO the great drain on the treas
ury of the society during the winter
months the dispensing of charity must in
a measure be discontinued unless the
friends of the unfortunate poor will render
every possible assistance.
Tickets for this lecture may be secured
at the office of the grand secretary, room
70, Donohue building, corner of Market
and Taylor streets, from IL to 4:30 o'clock
daily, or from any of the members of the
organization.
