Paderewski Praises Typewriter ,irl

Paderewski, the pianist. discovered a
wonderful artist on his recent engage
ment in New York through the agency
of a typewriting machine. He wac wan
dering through the Offices Of a big
manufacturing concern when his atten-
ton was attracted to the private ONCE
Of the president Of the company by the
rapid work Of the stenographer. There
was delicacy of touch about the ma
nipulation of the machine which charm
ed the foreigner. She played the keys
with a movement much similar to the
master hand on the piano.
you are much too clever with your
fingers" said Paderewski, Ito let them
ring on typewriter. I am confident
that you have talent for music, which,
properly cultivated. may make you a
famous artist some day."
Society women Of New York would
have given $1,000 to have their musical
accomplishments lauded in such words,
and the encouragement given the steno-
grapher was instrumental in getting her
into a musical academy. The former
typewriter is said to have fully fulfilled
the predictions of Paderewski.-Chicago

Capt. Martens of the East Thirty-ffth street

yesterday afternoon to leave Bellevue Hospital

about the robber who bound and gaggcd her.

after the doctors son left that she thought no

however, that IL was the robber and not young

minutes after the robbcr got in. AT the Dis.

was not received until 9;i5 o'clock, and when

who were frightened into covering by the fact
that the foreign markets had not responded fully
to the weakness here. Tho advance was helped
on further by orders to buy for the long account.
Under this demand there was q further frac-
tional advance which, however, was met by sell
ing orders that carried the prices down to the
lowest points of the day-9S for the September
and 96id for the December options.

The volume of business WINS smaller than that

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 25.-A sensation was created
in society circles here to-day when a suit for
divorce was filed in the Circuit Court by Attor-
ney w. p. Larow for Ida C.. Shirk, who desires
q legal separation from her husband, Judge
William j. Shirk. The Judge Is retained as
counsel by the Gould system and was a candi-
date for nomination to the Supreme bench In
tho last campaign. Judge Shirk instituted an
action for divorce a short time ago at Sedalia,
his petition being in the hands of Sheriff Troll
Of this city until to-day.
The plaintiff in her petition relates that she
was, rs she then supposed. lawfully married to
tho defendant in the city of Newkirk, Kay
county, Oklahoma. on May 10, 1896. by an
plaintiff and defendant, the latter, she says,
having represented. to her that this form OF
was so recognized there and everywhere. She
swcars that she subsequently, became dissatis.
He'd with the Oklahoma ARRANGEMENT, and while
her husband was a candidate for an exalted
position in the judicaturc of this state on Sept.
!, 1896, they went TO Bellcvillc, H., and were
lawfully married.
She swore that from the time of the Okla
homa agreement until the first of the present
month they lived together. except at such in
that he ill-used and abused her and offered such
indignities as to render her life int .crablc. She
also alleges that he has firted with other wo-
men.
In his petition Judge Shirk ayers that they
were married on Sept. !. and that five days
on Oct. 20 following she varied the exercise by
assaulting. him with a poker. and on or about
Nov. p she assaulted him with a Ratchet and
threatened to kill him; that on June . last she
struck him with the handle of u bath brush,
and attacked him with a carving knife. The
Judge says that his refusal to decd his home
and transfer his life insurance policy to her was
the occasion Of the first assault.
