Stanley did not have $500, and she told
him so. He then tenderly suggested
that a small mortgage on her Pearl
street property would solve the difflcui-
ty, and, though very 10th, with womanly
trust, Mrs. Stanley plastered mort
gage upon her property and handed over
the $500 to Smith.
A BIBLE TRICK DUPLICATED.
That was the end of it. From the time
the loyal, confiding woman handed over
that $500 she has seen nothing of Smith,
his sister, the cottage or her money. But
inquiries judiciously made revealed a
queer state of things. Smith, in repre-
senting the woman companion as his
sister, repeated the trick of the patri-
arch, for in each case the woman in the
case was wife and not sister. Imme-
diately upon receiving the $500 this
bright young couple went to Chicago,
where, it is said, they played razzle-
dazzle after their arduous labors in this
city.
With inconceivable assurance, how
ever, they returned to this city, and it IS
supposed that they consider that, by the
manner of their operating, they have
protected themselves in such way that
the law cannot reach them.
Yesterday Mrs. Stanley swore to the
complaint drawn in the district attor-
ney's office, and upon its being filed in
the township court. a warrant for the
arrest of Smith was issued. On Mon
day he will be called upon to explain his
actions as outlined above

THE DIVORCE MILL
A Husband Who Sends a Pretty Wife Away
With Brutal frankness

Another illustration was given yester-
day of the contrariety of the human
mind in the suit of E. Josephine Will
liams against Andrew j. Williams for
divorce.
The plaintiff in the case was young.
pretty and refined looking woman, and
yet from the testimony it appeared that
her husband failed to realize, much less
appreciate, her charms, and preferred
to revel in illicit familiarity with other
women.
1t appeared that the parties We're mar
ried nine years ago at Cleveland, Tex
The gradual eStrangement that ulti-
mates in separation soon became more
and more apparent. The husband habit
ually gambled and openly associated
with other women. Eighteen months ago
he sent his wife to visit her mother who
resides in this city. From that time to
this Mrs. Williams has neither seen nor
received one cent from her husband
Only one virtue inhered in him-and
under the circumstances the virtue was
transmitted into an insult-and that was
that he was perfectly frank. He let her
know that he did not want to live with
her; that he enjoyed the society of
other women better, and he did not in
tend to have anything more to do with
her.
Under these circumstances it would
seem as ii a decree would be in order
but Judge Shaw thought he would like
TO have the allegations of the plaintiff

BURGLARS AT WORK
Attempt to Enter Grand Avenue Residence
but Fail

An attempt at burglary was frustrated
about o'clock yesterday morning at the
residence of c. f. Heinzeman, No. go
South Grand avenue. Ed Heinzeman,
who sleeps in an upstairs front room
was awakened at that hour by hearing
rattling noise at his window, and, after
listening, only to hear it repeated, he
got up and lit the gas and awakened the
rest of the family.
The house was searched but nothing
suspicious found until morning, when it
was discovered that door leading into
the cellar had been pried open and a
small ventilating window near by torn
out of the sash. Around the house We're
found the footprints of al le2st two men.
The police were notified and inspected
the premises, satisfying themselves that
burglary had been attempted. There
is slight hope of apprehending the
would-be thieves, as they left nothing
behind which would serve as clew to
their identity.

AN UNSATISFACTORY GAME.

The football game between Providence bigh
school and Friends school saturday at Ade-
laide Park was most unsatisfactory in every
way. The field was IN very bad condition,
making good playing almost impossibls. But
the most unsatisfactory thing was the ac'
tions Of the Friends school players. They
started out with bulldozing and ended up by
backing down. They demanded everything
and were willing 10 compromise nothing.
When one ofss their men tackled High school
man who had made fair a catch as over
football player made, CAPTAIN Hall was in
capable of taking the Is yards punishment
like a man, but tried TO crawl out of IL. He
made notable exhibitions OF his childishness
on several occasions besides this one. lt Is
highly commondatory for n captain to guard
his rights assiduously, but IL is equally com
mendatory for him 10 try 10 make right
cut OF wrong. Tho ethics OF the game is
one OF the most important features Of 10, and
unless the game develops msnliness ii Is an
utter failure, no matter how high develop
ment % play is attained. While there is no
excuse FOR this sort of spirit the officials of
tho game are largely responsible for the N an
ifcstations of 10. Tho umpire is clearly under
tho rules the autocrat ~ the field, and his
word T. law Just 30 far as he cares 90 make 10
so he should sec that the game goes on in q
quiet, orderly way and that no illegal playing
T. done.
The Friends school showed that they knew
many good plays and have strong team,
and the High school Is anxious 10 have fair
chance 20 try conclusions with them before
the season closes. The Friends school got
the hall on the kickoff and carried 70 down to
the three yard line and lost 10. High school
got the ball here and soon had 10 ON the
Friends school aOyard line, whero the ball
went 20 Friends school and by a succession
of tushes by Gilbert. Hall and Grant through
the ends and tackles carried the ball over
the line, Hall making the touchdown and
Wright kicking the goal. High school got the
bali soon after the kickoff, and not only got
near enough 20 try for two goals from the
field, but also got down % the FIVE yard line.
Friends school got the ball and had maze a
number Of short gains when time Was called.
