GOODWIN WANTS A DIVORCE.
The WeII-Known Comedian Says His
Wife Is Habitually Incorporate.

The Well-hnOwn comedian says HIS
Wife Is Habitually Incorporate.
The fact that the well-known comedian
Nat G. Goodwin is suing for divorce
came to light yesterday. The suit was
filed in this City on July Ii. but, owing to
the efforts made to keep the matter quiet,
very few persons knew of it until the sum-
mons was published.
Mr.. Goodwin claims to have been resi-
dent of California for over year preced-
ing the filing of the suit, and asks for a
divorce from Nella r. Goodwin because of
her alleged habituaI intemperance.
The Goodwins were married in Chicago
in October, 1888, Mrs. Goodwin being a
Miss Baker. In 1891 she secured a separa-
ton from the comedian, and until now
most people who knew the pair thought
them divorced. Their domestic intellect
ties before the separation had for some
time been matter of public comment
Goodwin is now in Australia and his
wife in New York. While here on his last
visit the former was very attentive to Miss
Maxine Elliott, then of the Frawley Com
pany, who has since joined the Goodwin
Company in the Antipodes. Rumor says
that 1t is Goodwin's desire to marry again
and that Miss Elliott is the lady of his
choice.

RARE BEAUTY OF THE BRIDE
Six Bridesmaids in Dainty Green and
White Attend the Bride to
the Altar.

Delicate white blossoms nesting in the
midst of cool green foliage bIoomed on the
altar of St. PauIs Church, Oakland, yes
terday morning. Great potted palms lined
the aisles and formed q pathway of green
cry. The handsome church had put on
this beautiful dress in honor of the nup-
tials of Miss Claire Ralston, only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Ralston, and DR..
James Bell Bullitt, prominent physician
and popular society man of Louisville, KY.
Last winter, in company with her moth
er, Miss Ralston spent several months in
the East visiting relatives and friends, and
it was then she met the fortunate man
whose wife she became yesterday.
The announcement of the engagement
was rather a shock to the Oakland beaux.
Miss Ralston's rare beauty and charms
and unaffected ways had made for her
hosts of friends, and her admirers were
many.
San Francisco society, as well as the best
of Oakland. was well represented at the
wedding yesterday. By noon, the hour
announced for the ceremony, not seat
was vacant in the sacred edihce. Strictly
on time, the strains of the wedding march
announced the punctual arrival of the
UIlQdl putty Illob tuO uSAlOIS,
Messrs. Donald T. Campbell, Prentiss
Selby Jr., Harry Wilson, Ed Brayton,
Arthur P. Haynes and John Blanchard.
Following the ushers came the brides
maids, Miss Florence Selby, Miss CoraIie
Selby, Miss Maud de FrerIery, Miss Vir-
ginia Eells, Miss Elizabeth Watts and Miss
Welcker. Then came the maid of honor,
Miss May Austin, who preceded the two
little flower girls, Carmelita Selby and
Taxito Anterior, who in turn preceded
the bride, who entered leaning on the arm
of her father.
DR.. Bullitt and his best man, Louis Raj
ston, met the bride at the altar, where
Bishop Nichols, assisted by DR.. Richie of
St PauIs, read the impressive and simple
Episcopal service.
The bride wore an elegant gown OF
cream white satin, made exquisitely sim
pie. The eorsage was trimmed with rare
old lace, and the demi-train jupe per-
fectly plain. The bridal veil was fastened
to the couture with wreath of orange
blossoms.

TUBERCULOSIS IN DUCKS
The Board of Health Doesn't Yet
Know What to Do
About 1t.
An Inspection of Duck Ranches and
Test of Live Fowls Will
Pe Made.

The Board of Health is confronted with
the problem of apprehe nding poultry in
fected with tuberculosis, and it is at loss
what course to pursue.
1t was learned recently that ducks are
sometimes victims of the disease so much
dreaded by humanity. Ducks ivers,
white spotted with tuberculosis, were
shown to the board, and the doctors
opened their eyes in surprise both at the
fact and at the lurking danger they saw to
the consumers of tame fowls.
Injected beef, mutton and pork can be
condemned at the slaughter-houses after
an examination of the lungs from the
carcasses shows that tuberculosis exists in
a particular instance. Mich cows can be
tested for the disease by the injection of a
little tuberculin, followed by the applica-
ton of thermometer to ascertain If the
temperature has suddenly risen. But
ducks and chickens-they are not killed
at slaughter-houses. They are sold with
the entrails unremoved.
Livers and gizzards that so often consti-
tute the principal part OF dainty dishes
NAV be pregnant with the germs of con-
sum ption, and yet at present the board
sees no way of checking the traffic in con-
taminated fowls. The existence of tuber-
culosis in one duck examined in market
would not warrant the destruction of the
whole lot. Each fowl would have to be
opened and examined. Such q tedious
undertaking is not possible of perform-
ance by one market inspector, swho
must also inspect beef, mutton and pork,
the output of over score OF big slaughter
houses.
What the board intends to do is to send
Market inspector Davis on a toLr of the
duck ranches that supply the City mar
kets. If some of them are maintained
under particularly unhealthful conditions,
or if test OF some of the ducks discloses
the existence of tuberculosis, then some-
thing definite will be known as to the
doubtful sources and where to be suspi-
cious in future.
1t is known that many of the duck
ranches are supplied with offal and en-
trails from slaughter-houses, and in this
way the disease may have been contracted
by the fowls. But the duck will eat any-
thing, and there are numerous WAYS in
which the infection may have spread.
Market Inspector Davis said YESTERDAY
that he will probably try the injection Of
tuberculin when he visits the duck
ranches. although he does not yet know
just how little might prove fatal to so
small an animal.

BURGLARY IN A CAMP.
John McGinniss, Laborer, Caught
Stealing Sacks of Barley Early in
the Morning.

John McGinniss, laborer, was arrested
early yesterday morning by Policeman
Durkin and booked at the City Prison on
the charge of burglary.
Sacks of barley and oats had been stolen
from Tuttle's camp on Seventh avenue
and B street, and the men decided to keep
a lookout for the thief. About 2 o'clock
Yesterday morning McGinniss was OBJ
served to walk stealthily to where the
grain was stored. He lifted up sack of
barley and carried it to buggy he had in
waiting. He was returning, evidently for
at him. McGinniss jumped into his buggy
and whipped up his horse, but the animal
baked, and he was pulled from the buggy
