dwelt upon the evils of intemperance.

BVERSON'S FEARS.
His Wife Tells Why He
Suddenly Left Jersey City
and Deserted Her.

Testimony was taken this morning
before Vice-Chancellor Emery in the
suit brought by Mrs. Emma L.. Everson
against her husband, William J.. Ever
son. formerly a prominent member of
the Union League Club Of this city. for
deseftion. The testimony was ex-parte
introduced to clear up certain matters
which transpired prior to the period of
desertion.
Mrs. Everson's bill sets out that the
parties were married in Jersey City,
December Is. 1887, and Mrs. Everson still
resides here. Her husband, she a
lived with and supported her for five
years after their union, when on Feb
ruary s. 1898. he deserted her and left
the state. She does not know where he
is at present.
"Your oratrix further shows SO says
the bill. that for more than two years
last past her husband has wilfully and
continually and obstinately deserted her
and has wholly neglected to make any
provision for her support. and that she
has no means of support except from her
own exertions

As in the case of Fire Chief Runge,
the beginning of poor health is very
apt to rob one of the will power to start
Immediately about getting out of dan

that makes IN ordinary rundown,
bodily condition so dangerous, and SO
likely to go on to something worse. Every
day it is clearly shown tina it won't do
to- live tired-out, and on the verge of
breaking down. The languor and the lack
of strength are sure to increase.
Now is the time to throw off the dis
ease. As the new year begins there are
feWest ~hindrances to getting pack
strength and sturdy health. The brac-
ing weather arouses a longing for health.
Paine's celery compound, taken now, does
it's best service towards driving out
disease and establishing firm health.
