PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, Aug 22.-Mrs.
Jonathan Wright, wife OF a non-commis-
stoned officer in the company of which
William Tecumseh Sherman was lieu
tenant, and mother of the first American
child born in the old Mon terey Custom
house, met a very serious accident on Fri
day while driving from her husbands s
ranch or the upper Carmel River. Mrs.
Wright and friend were coming down
Laurellas grade when their horse became
frightened at an approaching campers
wagon and began to back. Fearing the
buggy would be backed over the steep en-
bankment before the horse could be con-
trolled Mrs. Wright jumped out, falling in
such way that her hip was dlslocated and
her thig bone was fractured.
She was taken to the nearest ranch
house, several miles distant, and 1t was
several hours before medical assistance
could reach her. The suffering was in
tense, and Mrs. Wright is SO exhausted
from it that it will be some time before
she will be able to stand the journey to
her home at Pacific Grove.
Mrs. Wright was at one time telegraph
operator in Monterey, and in that capac>
ity received the official message confirm

SEATTLE. WASH, Aug. 22.-Professor
David Starr Jordan of Stanford University
spent the night in Seattle on mis- return
from st. Paul Island. He boarded an
early train this morning for San Fran
cisco. The professor will Immediately
finish his report on his scientific investi-
cations in the far north in behalf of the
Fur Seal Commission.

The party included Professor David Starr
Jordan, Professor Elmer E. Farmer, Pro-
fessor Thomas D. Wood, Arthur ]. Ed
wards, Howard S. Warren, Arthur II.
Greedy, Trevor Kincaid and Robert E.
Snodgrass. They went at once to st. Paul
Island, where the work of branding the
young female seals was commenced.
During their stay several thousand of
the seals were branded so successfully
that Professor Jordan and the other sell
entists feel assured that the process is en-
tirely proper and feasible. During this
experiment, consuming several days, the
Rush did patrol duty about the islands.
Thirty or more sealers were seen operat.
ing, but none of them had violated the
law, On returning the cutter took Profess
sor Jordan and party to the PribiIoff

fore starting for Seattle. Professor Farmer

UKIAH, CAL, Aug. 22.-The First Reg
iment was glad to-day was Sunday. 1t
may have been on account of the sacred
character of the day, or it may have been
for other reasons, one of which was doubt
less the fierce heat. 1t was warm-fear-
fully sol Forest fires have been raging in
the mountains for some time past, and
the atmosphere was murky. All the men
did when they were not engaged in mill
tary exercises was to sit around, sleep or
endeavor to better their personal appear
ance.
Captain Kelleher and his aids have been
very busy all day finding where they
were al" as they put it. A part of their
investigation has disc osed the fact that
there are just $50 men in camp all told.
Captain Adjutant Smith. who came up as
the guest of the company, found it neces-
sary TO leave to-day for San Francisco.
Later in the week he will return with
Colonel Fairbanks, commander of the
Second Brigade. Captain T. J. Cunning
ham has temporary charge of the Third
Battalion in the absence of Major Tilden.
He is popular officer, and in the absence
of the major fills the position as satisfac-
tory to the boys as anybody could.
The Buzzecot-oven exper imentis hardly
under way yet and 1t is difficult to tell
how it is going to come out Though a
few utensils seem to be needed, it is be-
lieved that in a day or two the experiment
will prove to be good innovation.
The hospital department, with which
the National Guard is working under a
State allowance for the first time, is highly
lauded by every body connected with the
regiment. The State Sanitary Corps has
been detailed here for duty. Major Nc
Carthy is senior medical officer. Captain
P. J. II. Farrell has attended to many OF
the details of the department.
The features OF the day were the dress

noon. The men were all as neat as pins.

OF business affairs and after a few years
he tired of the butterfly existence which
his wife reveled in. He would frequently
decline to attend some OF the numerous
social functions to which they were
always invited, preferring to remain at
home with their youag daughter, or to
visit the Rainier Club. But thissneyer de-
tered the charming wife from slpplng OF
the pleasures of life. Fono of admiration.
with attractions sufficient TO surround
herself with the most devoted Beau BrCm-
mels, she never lacked an escort
In the last few years 1t was rather an
exceptional occasi ion when she and her
husband appeared in public together. In
innate friends of the couple have known
Tor some time that neither found much
contentment or happiness in the others
presence.
Early last fall the announ cement was
made that Mrs. MacCu!sky would 60 to
San FRANCISCO for year to study. She
has wonderful talent with the painters
brush and it was considered most natural
that she should desire TO seek broader
field or instruction. After her departure
their home was for time rented TO a
number OF society swells as a bachelors
club and 1T is now occupied by Attorney
Fred Bausman and family. The husband
took rooms al the Rainier Club, and Las
sic, his daughter, was sent TO her grand
parents.
Mrs. MacCulsky remained in San Fran
cisco until May studying art, and, Incl
dentally, taking whirl in the gayeties of
social life. When she returned to Seattle
she at once went to the home of her
parents. announcing that she would soon
take her departure for Europe to pursue
her studies. 1t is understood that she
will go to Paris and Berlin, 10 remain two
or three years.
II was not even then thought that MIR.
and Mrs. MacCulsky had separated, but
it now develops that they had. She re-
fused to longer live with her husband.
In order to avoid scandal and any undue
public notoriety, Mr.. MacCuIsky agreed
that she should file suit for divorce
against him on the ground of cruelty and
incom patibility of temper and that it
should be granted without a contest.
The Judge, in granting the decree, or
dered that the girl be given into the GUS
tody of the mother, and that she be al
lowed 500 a month alimony and given
the furnishings OF their home. The house
and all other property was to belong to
Mr.. MacCulsky.
Mrs. MacCulsky has always been con-
sidered nearer to Artist Gibson's model of
the American woman than any other in
dlvidual. During a living picture enter
tainment given here, Just prior to her de-
parture for San Francisco, by fashionable

LONDON. Eng, Aug. GA dispatch to

AT Marseilles, the popular effervescence
is much greater than here, and the
mayor of the city has issued provisional
scale of prices. The cause of the rise
there is a scheme of a syndicate of wheat

duce the wheat duties. The price has

GETS A DIVORCE
Tacoma Social Leaders
Supply a MOrSel
for GoSSipS.
Handsome Wife of a Clubman
Granted a Decree and
Alimony.
The Plaintiff a Daughter Of Judge
StruVe, One Of the City's
Rich Men.

SEATTLE, VASE, Aug. 22.-Surrounded
by all the pomp and splendor of fash
ionable church wedding the consumma.
tion of the nuptials of A. E. MacCulsky
and Miss Struve, about ten years ago, was
the most brilliant affair of the kind ever
witnessed in Seattle. She, a beautiful
bride of but 19 and member of one of
the oldest and most prominent families in
the city. while he, groom of pleasing
address, devotee to club life and reDuted
to be worth close to 100000, their alli-
ance was considered to be the beginning
of life of much promise, happiness and
social success. But after few years OF
apparent harmonious union knowing ones
began to whisper their forebodings, which
have materialized until to-day the inner
circle of society has delightful morsel to
turn under its tongue.
On Thursday Mrs. MacCulsky was
granted a divorce on the grounds of cru
city and incompatibility OF temper. It
was done so quietly that no public an
nouncement has yet been made, and but
few people in the city are familiar with
the fact. And those few marvel at the
patience and fortitude of deserted hus-
band, submitting without contest to
decree that is generally regarded as man
ifestly unjust.
When it is stated that Mrs. MaoCulsky
is one of the most beautiful and accom-
plisned women, of fine figure and attrac-
tive presence, in the Pacific North west, it
detracts nothing from the renown of other
favorites. She is the daughter of ex-
Judge III. G. Struve, a member of the
Leading law firm in Seattle. His asso-
ciates are John b. Allen, e1-United States
Senator; E. G. Hughes, president of the
Post-Intelligencer Company, and Maurice
McMicken, president of the First National
Bank. Judge Struve is attorney for and
generally interested in the German Saw
ings and Lean Society of San Francisco.
Mr.. MacCulsky has been for some years
engaged in the wholesale grocery busi-
ness but reverses have largely decreased
his wealth, although he is still well to do.
When the marriage ceremony was per-
formed there were bridesmaids galore and
church decorations as had never before
been witnessed here. It was followed BY
a reception attended by the select of the
400. 1t was an affair that still fingers
pleasantly in the memory of the fortunate
participants.
The bride was just budding into glorious
womanhood, and by virtue of her charm
ing attainments she soon was accorded
the leadership of Seattle society. She
maintained her reign undisputed until
year or two ago, when she gradually be-
gan to give way to younger espirants.
Mr.. and Mrs. MacCulsky built and main
tanned one of the largest and most elegant
homes in the city, where they entertained
in lavish splendor.
