power of the Board to determine positively whether

against Alfred T.. Overton for an absolute divorce
Tne Overons have been embroiled In litigation for
several years. but the action for a divorce In which

opment. The couple were married In 1865 and lived
Tor some time at 1slip. They had some money and
moved In the best society. Then they moved to
Brooklyn and lived In Columbia Heights and in
Chnton-st. Mr. Overton left his wife In September

fee yesterday j. Stewart Ross said that the de-
PENDANT did not deny the acts charged In which
Carrie Powell was involved AS correspondent but he
did object to paying large alimony. Mr. Ross
said that the trial OF the case would Involve the

From The Cincinnati Enquirer.


There is one popularity about the japanese that

OATH" said Colonel r. w. Gruber yesterday. The
reason foi this Is that there Is no word In the
Japanese language which Is equivalent TO oath.
Even the vast number Of foreigners who have gone
to that country during the last ten years and the
thousands of words added To the language
have not in the last affected the Japanese IN swear

Capt. McGowan's death gives us time

powers were superior; in public ques-

them careful investigation; arrived at a
conclusion he was steadfast In his con-
