A CHINESE DIVORCE.
Choie Seen Secures a Separation From
Her Lord, Chic Vow.

Choie Seen Secures Separation From
Her Lord, Chic Vow.
Mrs. Cboie Seems suit for divorce from
Chic Vow was heard by Judge Slack yes
terday afternoon. Chinese customs a. not
require wife to assume her husband s
name, and therefore the plaintiff did not
ask permission of the court to resume her
maiden name. The complaint against
Chic Vow was that he deserted his fair
bride without her consent and that he de-
clined to again live with her, though she
requested him to do so.
MRS. Seen appeared in court resplendent
in blue sllrtout, EN- broidered with black
silk, and wide, shiny-black trousers or
galligaskins. Her raven tresses were
combed straight back from her forehead
and tied behind with pink ribbon, while
her ears were burdened with large blush
turquoise earrings. heavily ornamented
with gold and pearls. On her right wrist
she wore half dozen green jade bracelets.
A green under-tunic peeped from beneath
the lady's outer garment. She wore white
stockings and pale blue sabots, embroi-
dered with green silk.
The lady proved her accom- plishments
in regard 10 Western civilization by sign
ing her name American style to her COM
plant, yet when it came to giving her tes-
timony the services of an interpreter were
required.
The interpreter was bashful little Chi
nese lady. who giggled very prettily when
called on to take a seat at Judge Slack 8
elbow to perform her duties.
Mrs. Seen said she was married to Vow
nearly three years ago, and that soon
after the wedding ceremony he left her
and would not live with her any more.
For that reason and because he refused to
provide for her support she had taken up
her residence at the Mission Home on Sac
ramento street in this City.
Miss Donaldina Campbell, a missionary
engaged at the Mission Home, corrobo-
rated Mrs. Seen, whereupon Attorney
Henry E. Monroe moved that divorce be
granted on the ground of desertion, and it
was so ordered.
Tie lady smiled her thanks upon the
Judge, Clerk McElroy and Bailiff Thomas
and walked happily from the room.

brew Home for the aged on Silver avenue
He started to go downtown and attempted
to board car 1912 at Twenty ninth street
before 1t stopped, the Inotorman believing
that the old man would take an inside

old he was, for he seized hold of the front
guard and tried to swing on the front
outside seat. He lost his footing and
pitched forward.
In an instant the old mans body was
under the step and the car crushed HIM
baoly before complete stop could be
effected.
Strauss was removed in an unconscious
condition TO the City and County Hospital,

HE ENDED HIS LIFE.
Suicide of Young Man at the Ocear
Beach

Suicide of Young Man at the Ocean
Beach.
The body Of an unknown young man,
scarcely out of his boyhood, was found on
the hill above Lands End at the Ocean
beach yesterday morning by Claude
Ouinney, who is connected with the Mer-
cnants' Exchange Signal Station at Point
Lobos.
The boy had committed suicide with q
large revolver that lay by his side.
The young man, who from appearances
had barely attained his majority, had in
tended to let the world know the reason
for his suicide. at the last moment he
changed his mind, for the little paper he
took with him remained untouched. He
sought the high hill covered with wild
grass, placed the muZzle of the weapon
back of his ear and pulled the trigger. The
BODY must have been there TWO or three
days. 1t was we'll concealed by the tall
grass. When he went TO the beach no one
seems to know.
The face and body of the dead man
showed that sickness had strong hold
upon his system. The clothes were ragged
but neat. A few small articles of no value
were found in his pockets. The general
description in the Morgue is as follows:
Face thin, nose prominent, hair and
ewes dark. One upper front tooth is miss
ing. Coat and vest brown, trousers gray,
hat brown pointed-toe shoes, brown neck
tie and blue shirt.
In the pockets we're briarwood pipe,
amber cigar holder and cheap match
box. Not scrap of paper was found that
would give clew to the young fellows
identity.

The difference between the death rate of

Kerr on August 81. 1895, and that of s. SO
reported on January 10, 1896, after the use
of antitoxin serum had been adopted.
speaks for itself.
Antitoxin serum is obtained by inocu-
lating horses with the germs OF diphtheria
and separating from their blood the
precious fluid.
Horses are chosen because more serum
can be obtained than from other animals.
Beginning with small quantities. the
injections into the veins of the horse are
gradually increased until the treatment
has been kept up three or four months
By this time the animals have reached
the pointat which they can stand the in
lection of 800 ccm. without other general
or local symptoms than All oedema at the
point OF injection, and they are ready to
furnish antitoxin of value. A trocar
withsa canula attached to a rubber tube, is
passed into the jugular vein of the animal,
and the blood allowed TO flow through the
iube into sterile glass jars prepared to re-
ceive it.
The jars are stood upon ice, after the
blood coagulates, for two days or more,
until the serum, which separates, may be
withdrawn by a pipette and placed in
sterile receptacles.
DR.. Winslow Anderson is very emphatic
is his praise of the beneficial results fol-
lowing in the wake of anti-toxin as a
remedy for diphtheria.
DR.. Anderson is also a member of the
State Board of Health, and therefore in a
position TO speak authoritatively as re-
CARDS the present supply.

THE NEW CHARTER.
Suggestion on That Subject Made to
the Republican County Committee
by the Chairman,

by the Chairman.
The Republican County Committee held
its regular monthly meeting last night at
headquarters, $50 Market street, Charles
Manwaring in the chair.
The chairman announced that the
Democratic County Committee had passed
a resolution authorizing the appointment
of e committee to confer with the Repub-
lican County Committee with reference to
putting up a joint ticket for q board of
freeholders to frame a new charter. He
had noticed also, he said. that the Elec-
tion Commissioners had expressed their
opinion TO the effect that they did not
think it advisable TO hold special elec-
tion for that purpose. He mentioned
those matters in order that the mem bers
of the committee might have an oppor-
tunity OF considering 1t between now and
the next regular meeting.
The meeting then adjourned.
