KILLED BY THE CARS.

Stamford, July 24.-John Bannon, one of the men in the employ of J. K. Ryan, the railroad contractor, was struck while walking on the track between At lantic street and Greenwich avenue by the 2:25 express and instantly killed. He has no relatives here and kept a bachelors hall in one of the shanties of the railroad contractor. He worked on the railroad improvements. The unfor- tunate man had $29 in his possession. Judging from appearance he was about fifty years old. He was returning from town and had just purchased a new pair of shoes, which he was carrying under his arm. Tomorrow morning a search of his hut will be made by the authorities to see if any letters may be found which will lead to the dis covery of any relatives which the man may have had. He was of a retiring nature, so that none of the men with whom he worked know anything about him.

FARGO'S DIVORCE INDUSTRY.
1t Pays the Town y bout IA Quarter of IL
Million Dollars Annually.
MINNEAPOLIS journal.

Niinthlb lbDhS JcUTlhi
North Dakota has gained considerable
notoricty throughout the East for the ease
with which divorces are secured within
its borders. Fargo has more fame in this
direction than any other town, for various
reasons. Its most easily reached and affords
the pleasure-loving contingent greater op-
portunities than any city in the State, ex-
cept Grand Forks. Its hotels are new and
Up 10 date and there are numerous private
boarding houses that cater especially to
those who are here to end their marital
troubles.
The modus operandi is simple. In nine
cases out of ten the defendant i'll the suit is
as willing that decree should be secured
as the plaintiff, and aids in every possible
way by accepting service and employing
"a local legal light to look after his interests.
In such cases the decree is often secured
within ten days after the ninety-day proba-
ton has expired. In fact ii has sometimes
occurred that the divorce was granted
within ninety-one days after the applicant
arrived in Fargo. In these cases. OF course,
personal service was secured, and there was
no contest in the way of alimony. In
cases OF desertioD, or in others, where the
residence OF the defendant is unknown,
six weeks additional is required for the pub
liCation of summons.
The attorneys fee varies from $50 to
any higher amount with the trouble ncces-
sary to secure the decree and the ability
OF the plaintiff 10 pay. The colony in
cludes people in all walks OF life. Even
labOTing men come here and work while
establishing their residence. These are
the exception. however. The seekers after
single blessedness are. as a rule, well
supplied with funds and able to pay liber-
ally for whatthey get. Some distinguished
people have been temporary residents OF
the State. and are men and women in all
walks OF life. and titled foreigners are not
an exception.
The divorce business has frequently been
referred to as North Dakota industry. and
is really to be regarded as such. A canvass
of the hotels and private boarding houses
shows that there are today about $50
members in the local divorce colony. This
means from 1000 to So 600 per month for
the hotel men OF the city. 1t also means
from $1,000 to $4,000 for the local
attorneys. In addition to these expendi-
lures the stores receive directly. perhaps.
So 900 per month in the way OF divorce
trade. The sentiment Of the citizens is
entirely In favor Of the industry" The
matter is looked at purely from business
standpoint and is advocated on all sides.

ROYALTY'S SIMPLE LIFE.
Economical Existence AT the Castle
of Bernstorff.
Innhnn Dn ilN NpMs

A Copenhagen correspondent gives the
following account Of court life at the
Castle of BernStorff, where thirteen royal
personages are staying, although the
castle is not so much larger than gentle
mans country seat.
The dowager-empress Of Russia is salts
fled with two small and very simply fur
niShed rooms, the Princess of Wales has
only one room, and the Greek royal couple
two. In spite OF the want Of room, the
two eldest daughters of the Danish royal
family prefer living at Bernstorff,
as they were educated there and spent
their youth there. playing as children in
the park. Court life in Bernstorff is very
simple. All rise early and assemble al
O'Clock IN the queens apartments, where
breakfast is served. Luncheon is at l
O'Clock, and afterwards walks and drives
are taken, while the younger members Of
the royal family play tennis on the great
lawn in front of the castle.
The Princess of Wales aud the dowager-
empress generally walk out together, and
when they are tired take the first cab they
meet and drive back to Bernstorff. The
gentlemen ride, and while the Prince
of Wales is there large shooting parties are
arranged. Five O'Clock tea is served in
the queens rooms, and dinner is at ., when
there are generally five or six courses.
The evenings are spent in the queens
apartments.
The Princess OF Wales and her imperial
sister take their seats at the Gra nd piano
which stands in the middle of the room.
1t is a very valuable instrument, gift
from the late cZar to his mOther-in-law.
The young English princesses sing old
English songs. The gentlemen generally
play cards in adjoining rooms. Queen
Louise is passionately fond OF music. She
is a brilliant pianist, and her daughters
have inherited her talent. The Princess
of Wales especially is most Jealous
player. AT II the royal party retires to
rest. and when the castle clock strikes
midnight only the tramp of the sentry in
front of the castle breaks the Stiffness.

CROSS PURPOSES.
IN r. and Mrs. Harwood had been hav
MI ing a little matrimonial tiff-a
N mere Dothing+-only both were a
trifle obstinates and consequent

triile oDStlnates ana consequent
ly had succeeded in niaEing one another
thoroughly uncomfortable.
1t was all about the summer holidays
and where they should spend them. The
second Friday in July was the date fixed
by Mr.. Harwood's firm aud he had been
discussing the matter with his pretty wife
over the breakfast table.
II suppose we shall go to Hastings" she
had said.
Suppose we try Ramsgate or Cromer for
a change" he replied.
"Oh, but we can't, you know" said Mrs.
Harwood, with decision. '"I promised
mamma we should spend our holidays with
her at Hastings. Besides, IL makes it so
much cheaper
Mr.. Harwood frowned. He had set his
mind on going to fresh place. Besides,
although his wife's mother was a nice,
sensible woman and not given To interfer-
ing with her daughter and son-in-law, he
felt he could appreciate his rest all the
better If he and Violet and the baby Were
by themselves.
II think it would be nice to go some
where else" he repeated. Besides. it

summer. j want TO 30 somewhere braC-
ing-say the east coast
"Weli, We can't diSappoint mamma"
said Violet, little tartly.
Hastings doesn't suit me half so well
as Ramsgate," replied the husband with
irritation.
u think it is very selfish of you not
to do as ] wish. If you were in the
city nine hours day, you'd know the
value OF fresh, bracing air."
Not at all,'' said Violet, coldly; Its

quite enough, too, he growled.
And so the discussion had ended, I'M
pleasantly, and for the next day they
treated one another coldly, and with a
kind of dignificd politeness that WAS exas-
perating to both.
II was not until two or three days before
the time for departure arrived chat the
subject was referred to again, and this
time the result was more disastrous than
ever.
Violet refused point blank to give way,
and doing il without much tact, Harry
felt himself called upon to be equally
obstinate.
"of course, you can go where you please"
she said at last, Il shall go to Hastings
'Very well,' he replied, bitterly, then

She went a shade paIer, but set her
lips firmly, and Harry banged out of the
house in a rage. The junior clerks had
a bad time with Mr.. Harwood that day.

ton of the ordnance experts the value Of
thistype of weapon as part of the ordnance
for thecountry' sland defenses, and hereafter
some of these guns will be stationed at the
important cities along the scabOard where
the department proposes constructing de-
lenses invulnerab!e 10 attack from the sea.
Naval Officers do not alta ch that value to the
dynamite gun that the army men do, prin-
cipally because of its lack OF range.
This defect, they say, Will make it possible
for battleships to lie beyond the guns range
and still be most effective against land ba t.
teries, whereas torpedo boats of great swift
ness could dodge proiectiles on account of
their slow velocities.
Eminent ordnance experts of the Army in
cuding Gen. Flagler havecontended thatthe
pneumatic gun will be of incalcuable value in
dealing with a large fleet, aud that no ships
woulddareapproach within itsrauge, know
ing that an explosion of 500 pounds of gela-
tine in the vicinity OF a vessel would have n
most disastrous result upon those on board.
1t is asserted further, that one shot from
dynamite gun would be worth more than
broa dsde from a warship nd that the coun-
try can well risk making a true shot occa- :
sionally with results as effective as those
following the impact of projectile with

The physician worked steadily over the
child for ten or perhaps twenty minutes.

The porter, under Dickey's direction, and
with his dusky palm crossed with silver,
made up an extra berth in the car, in which
the child was laid. She was sleeping the

and smoked. while the child slept peacefully
in the luxury of a double lower berth, and
from the stateroOm came the steady sDnre
OF the porter.
Dickey did not even dOZe in the night, for
that was his day, and he was puzzling over
how that child came to bcupon the platform.
Certainly she had not been there when the
train left Medicine Bow, for he had stood
upon that platform himself and watched
the station out of sight-and il had been
broad day then. The train had stopped no
where, and vet how bSurd it was to suppose
that the child had been put there while the
cars were in motion. How could she have
been, and who could have done it? Even
Wyoming blizzard, strong as il was, did not
bear little girls about on its wings and de-
posit them upon the platforms uf the sleep

Dickey could never tell afterward how
many cigars he smoked that night, but he
exhausted his supply. 1t was in the early
gray OF da Wight and the storm had spent its
force when the child awoke. The train was
making fast way through the desolation that
lies along Bitter Greek and over the vast
plains was a white mantle that glittered as
though studded with million diamonds.
The morning times., 1896-01-19

The morning OF departure arrived and
they sat down to breakfast. Harry had
recovered his temper and was disgustingly
good natured and polite. Violet had packed
the box es and he had strapped them for her,
and carried them down stairs ready for
the cabman.

About half past 4, I expect" he said
cheerfully.

she said acidly.

II she had asked the question in differ
ent tone of voice he might have given a
different answer.
Nothing more was said until Harry was
ready to start for the office, when Violet
remarked coldly:
IF you feel disposed to alter your mind
about coming to Hastings, you need not

thing You will want in my trunk"
She had taken it for granted he would
give in, and was beginning to feel rather
alarmed at the prospect of going alone.

kissed her, to which she submitted with
studied Indifference, and left the house.
But he hadn't been gone ten minutes be-
fore she gave in and had comfortable
cry.
To go to Hastings alone was ridiculous.
How humiliating it would be she reflected,
to arriveat her mo others house with her baby
and luggage and no husband. For one
thing, she would get little sympathy, as
her mother would certainly be angry, and
tell her she was a silly girl to manage things
SO badly. Besides, it might lead to a
family quarrel, and she had too much sense
to want everybody to know that she and
Harry had had a difference.
Then she wrote out a telegram: please
come with me to Hastings; 1 cannot go
without you," but was not satisfied with it
and tore it up.
After few minutes reflection she wrote
out another, which she addressed to Hast
ings: "Cannotcome today; baby not WELL"
1t was quite true the baby was rather out
of sorts, and she decided she would wait at
home for Harry, make it up with him, and
get him to accompany her next day.
But surprise was in store for her.
At 8 o'clock there was ring. Thinking

to the north there wasa CLEAN of mountains,
white above blue, and in the northern sky
beyond the hills plainsman would have told
you there was still more snow to come.
Dickey only saw a sort OF ashen gray sky,
flushing to pink as the sun came up, which
was like no sky he had ever seen in Califor-
mia, but was nevertheless most beautiful.
=" Winter has its compensations," he
thought-and then, hearing the chld's voice,
he FASTENED into the sleeper proper and
parted the curtains Of her berth.
81 want my mamma" the little one said
smiling up into his face-the sweet smile
of childhood just awakened.
Here was a dilemma. Where is your
mamma, little one?" Dickey said-a mans
blundering capacity for saying the wrong
thing.
why" she said, don't you know?'
We Were going to my papa in California
and we rode a long ways, and we had no
more money and the man would not let
us ride. Then we walked and was tired
1t was cold, too. My mamma put me on
the steps and told me to be good-but the
dark came and it was cold, and so opened
the door. Then could not open the other
door-and SO ] cried and went to sleep"
And where did mamma go, little one?"
Dickey Culver's voice could be gentle as a
mammals upon occa; ions.
"why, don't you know" She said she
was coming, too
Dickey dropped the curtains of the berth
and went into the forward car to look for
the conductor. one of the curious passen-
gers of the night before, an early riser,
stopped him as he went along and pres
emily good woman, the curious passen-
gers wife, went back into the last sleeper
and came out with the child in her arms.
The matter was well known to all the
women in the train by this time, and, as
women will, from mysterious recesses of
handbags, and satchels, they drew enough
material to make the child presentable
In no time at all. She was pretty child
enough, with dimpled cheeks and blue eyes
and golden hair, and she told her story,
all she knew of ii, over and over again,
to whosYer asked her, but there was culver
IN the warm, red lips now when she asked
for her mamma.
Dickey in the meantime had found the
conductor. The train stopped at Green
River anyway, and that was only a few
miles further Oh.
When the station was reached Dickey
and the train men jumped down from the
rear platform OF the last sleeper and peered
under the trucks. What with snow and
the cinders they could see nothing at first,
but presently the brakeman muttered q
