HER LOVE WORTH $4,000
Value Theodore Rudd Places on
His Wife's Affections.
Sues Frank =. Hall for Ihat Aii'ouh'
as the Cause of All Ills
Trouble.

Theodore Rudd, who was recently ul-
yorced from Mrs Isabella Rudd, has flied
n suit for damages, in which he places
ter-thousand dollar value on his wire .
affections.
Frank 2 Hall. who is made the defcnd-
anti the case, is charged by Mr.. Rudd with
having alianatcd and destroyed the affSc-
tions of his wife, with the intentin OF de
priying him Of her comfort, fellowship, So
ciety. aid AMI assistance. 1t is alleged that
the alienation began the eth OF December
last. and continued up to April Il last,
when al her affection Tor her husodhu -
said to have ended.
Trouble began in the Rudd family away
hack in June, 1895, when Mrs. Rudd,
by her counsel. Mr.. Shillinstcn, filed Sult
for divorce from her husband. In y as'ist
Mr. Rudd filed his answer, andin september
the taking of testimony began. III was uur-
ing this period OF the case the husodnd
charges that Mr.. Hall came upon the scene.
April 81 last Judge Hagner granted Mrs
Rudd a divorce because OF cruel treatment
by her husband. The custody of Margaret
Elizabeth Rudd. the daughter, was given
the mother whereas the father was award
ed the care of William II. Rudd, his boy.
Besides this, Mr.. Rudd was ordered by tht
court to pay his divorced Wife the sum ul
S400 alimony each year.
This settled the trouble for snort nme'
but it broke out again during the summer,
when the father OF Margaret cndeavored tt
have her taken away from the mother on
the charge that the little girl was allowed
to dance before men in Mrs. Rudd's res
taurant on Louisiana avenue. This Mrs
Rudd denied, ana the affair which prom
iscd to come before the judges or the police
court was settled out of court.
Quite recently the divorced husband he
gan other legal action, and cndeavored to
have Judge Haener reverse his allowance
of alimony, on the allegation that the
woman was not conducting herself in q
proper IN a nner. Severe charges were made
by Mr. Rudd in his petition, which has
bee locked in the court safe, and the court
has ordered the application before an OK
aminar for the taking of proof.

APPLYING FOR AID.
Destitute persons VINO Call on
SuperIntendent of Charities.

Applicants for relief in large numbers
have called at the office or the superin-
tendent of charities within the last week
asking for assistance in the way of food
and fuel.
Secretary Barnaclom makes carefulrecord
in each case respecting the needs OF the
family or Individual, as reI orted by Chlef
Clerk Sylvester of the rollce department.,
and in this way the true status OF the case
is obtained without fear of mistake.
With the exception OF six, all cases com
ing under this official observation Within
the past week have been deserving and ex-
ceedingiy destitute white persons, mostly
widows with families of from two to nine
children They are mostly new applicants
for relief Nearly all OF the WIDOWS who
come 10 the office report that the death
OF their husbands was OF recent date.
The officials regard the demands as un-
usually heavy for mild weather like the
present, and say that unless there is q
cessation the severe weather OF winter VIII
fi.d the fund exhausted.
The disburse ement of relief through the
office of superintendent of charities and by
aid of the police has the merit, evidently,
of economy and efficiency. Since there is
no extra Compensation attached, and the
police, who are naturally interested in
providing for the deserving poor, arc pos
sibly as wen &c uipped for an investigation
as anyone can be.
