ed the argument for the plaintiff and re-
viewed the evidence which has been with

to the suit. This is alleged 10 have taken
place at No. l 1 New York avenue, where
Mrs. Fahey charges her husband one night
knocked h er down.
Mr. Leo Simmons, counsel for Mr. Fahey,
ridiculed Mrs Fahey's witnesses and SAID
..who would believe only ;he wifc's state
nents In suit for divorce? Why. divorce
suits are becoming so numerous that the
District VIII soon equal Oklahoma. Al
ready IO6 women have filed suits for IL
vorce In this court, aud in l S95 513 women
sued their h husbands for divorce, as against
Al filed by men,"

The latter was in court and the lawyer
pointing his finger at him, said: There
sits the tout of the race track, the prize
fighter, who has tried to rob Mr.. Fahey
Of his wife and who comes here every day
TO listen TO the case.
"Wll the court believe that Mr. Faliey
Induced this man TO drive his wife out in
closed carriage, or give her slippers and
candy? VIII the court believe that in DC
tober Mr.. Fahey suggested to this man,
Brassel, a stranger, what the latter should
give his wife for Christmas-giftc
What else does Brassel say? He says
that if any man says one word against that
woman. lie would ram it down his throat
He takes considerable interest in this case
VIII the court believe these statements:
No; every word he has said is lie. and he
knowsit. Without his sprcsenceinth ehouse.
everything was pleasant"

CIVIL SERVICE ADVOCATES
New Association Purposes to I'm
prove the Work.
Members Discussing Pians-Call on
United States Commissioners.

The delegates to the National Civil Ser
vice Association met at. 10 O'Clock this
morning at Parlor 10, Wizards Hotel.
They spent the time till noon iii discussing
the proposed constitution, the purposes and
plans and the outlook of the organiza-
ton. The constitution was especially con-
sidered by the committee appointed for the
purpose.
1t was taken up section by section and
each member of the committee spoke free
iy and fully Of what appeared to him as
advantages er disadvantages of proposed
articles. The committee had not CONFLICT
ed its work at l O'Clock
One difficulty in securing n satisfactory
constitution is the peculiar relation of the
members to the government. They do not
wish to do anything that can bring the So
ciety or its members into disfavor with
the heads of the departments in which they
are employed.
They seem to apprehend that such an as
socation may be suspected of some pur-
pose adverse TO the public interests, or. at
least, of plans that Will help its members
at the cost Of the taxpayer
Another difficulty is to secure a salts
factory central body. in the way OF an
executive committee. The obstacle in this
case is the wish not to leave the control
with the clerks at any particular place.
The object of the association is union
of activities for the benefit OF the service
in any manner consistent with the status
of members as subordinate officers of the
government
Nearly all the delegates Were present
during the morning session The commit.
tee 10 visit the Civil Service Commission
ers have as yet made no report.
They called ON the commissioners dur
in gthe morning and Were kindly received.
There is no unfriendly feeling toward the
organization. and the Commissioners will
do what is proper in cooperating with it
in anything that will improve the SER
vice. The meetings VIII continue two
OF three days.

WARNING WORD.
Cleveland'S Advice to the
Democratic Party.
Should Stand for Sound Money
Whatever Happens.
Wants No Mistake to Be Made at the
Chicago Convention.

washington, June 17.--In reply 10 o
request from the New York Heralc for
statement concerning the Democratic
situation. President Cleveland last night
sent the following to that newspapers
II have made no figures as to the prob
able action Of delegates already chosen.
or to be chosen. to the Democratic ma
tional convention, but I refuse 90 believe
that when the time arrives for deliber-
ate action there will be engrafted upon
our Democratic creed a demand for the
free, unlimited and independent coinage
OF silver. cannot believe this, because
I know the Democratic party is neither
unpatriotic nor foolish. and because IL
seems so clear to me that such q course
will inflict very great injury upon every
interest of our country. which II has been
the mission OF Democracy to advance,
and will result I'm lasting disaster to our
party organization. There is little hopa
that as a means of success this free sill
YER proposition. after thorough dis
cussion during political campaign, will
attract a minority of the voters OF the
country. 1t must be that many OF Tho
Illusions influencing those now relying
upon this alleged rapacea for their Ills,
will be dispelled before the time comes
for them to cast their ballots, which viii
express their sober second thought. The
adoption by the Democracy of Ills prop
osition would, / believe, give to our OPP
moments an advantage, both in the pres
ent and future. which they do not de-
serve.
my attachment to true Democracy Is
80 strong that consider its success as
Identical with the promotion OF the
country's good. This ought sufficiently
to account for my anxiety that no mis-
take be made at our party convention.
In my opinion, no efforts should be.
spared to secure such action Of the dele
gates as will avert party demoraliza-
ton. II is a place for consultation and
comparison Of views, and those DEM
ocrats who believe in the cause OF sound
money should there be heard. and con-
stantly be in evidence.
"a cause worth lighting for IL worth
fighting for to the end. If sound money
Democrats suppose there is danger OF
mistake being made, such danger should
stimulate their activity in Sverting II,
instead of creating discouragement.
II am very far from arrogating to
myself a controlling influence upon the
policy of my party, but as an unfinch-
ing Democrat, who has been honored by
his party, and who desires, hereafter, no
greater political privileges than 10 oc-
cupy the place of private in its ranks. I
hope / may not be blamed for saying
this much at this time, in the interest,
as it seems to me, Of the grand organiza-
ton, SO rich in honorable traditions, SO
Justly proud of its achievements, ard
always so undaunted and brave in bat
ties for the peoples welfare"
