HIS WIFE
SAD TALE OF MARRIED LIFE TOLD
IN THE POLICE COURT.
PITIABLE CONDITION OF WIFE.
The unhappy Married Life OF Forme
Racine Couple Has An Airing
in the Police
Court.

There was a scene of unhappy home
life in the police court this morning
which made the men in the court room
decidedly ashamed Of their sex.
Mrs. August Kleinschmitt, a pretty
young woman of % years, appeared to
make charge of abandonment against
her husband. The lady is very I'M
fortunate woman IN being bound to
such man as Kleinschmitt. She
formerly lived in Racine and comes of
very good family and on this account
her present condition is more pitiable
than it would be had she been in the
same class as her husband, who is a
husband in name only. NotWlth-
standing all the troubles and cares she
has passed through during her con-
nection with Kleinschmitt, her beauty
has not diminished and her appear
ance in court this morning shows that
she had been deeply sinned against.
Modest and retiring, she shrunk from
public gaze and sought to hide the
disgrace that the man, who had prom
ised to cherish and protect her, had
brought upon her.
The story of the case is the same old
story of marital unhappiness. She had
been a romantic girl and he Il careless,
do nothing sort of a fellow who man
aged to win her love and married her.
The couple lived together in Racine for
some time and he abused her in such a
manner that her mother made COM
plant in the police court and he served
a sentence ia the Racine county jail for
assault and battery for this offense.
Shortly after his release from Jail the
couple came together again and re-
moved to this city AMI decided to try
it again. Things went very we'll for a
while and the couple lived together in
peace and harmony. Finally the hus-
band broke out again and assaulted his
wife in such manner that he made
her a cripple for life. The patient
woman, however, hoping for peace,
made no complaint against the worth
less fellow and continued to live with
him until Che left her short time ago.
Hearing of his actions with others, the
woman brought charge of abandon
ment against him. After searching for
several days Chief Stemm found him
Friday night and landed him IN Jail.
The fellow made no answer to the
charges preferred by his wife except to
make sighting remarks against her
and accuse her of infdelity. In the
court this morning the woman stated
that he had made no provision for her
support and asked that he be required
to go to work This the fellow refused
to do and stated that he had nothing
to turn over for the support of his wife
except fine hunting dog which Mrs
Kleinschmitt has been keeping for him.
The court ordered the dog to be sold
and the money to be given to the wife.
She said she would accept a part of it,
but urged that the man be given
enough of it to secure pair of shoes.
The man was returned to Jail, and,
according to the statements of the Off
GERS he is perfect villain.
The case will be brought before
Judge Van Wyck Monday morning
and the officers think several months in
Jail will benefit the man.

ner-stone of a splendid Christian civiliza-
ton. More than a century later Gen.
James Oglethorpe laid the foundation of
the colony of Georgia on Yamacraw Bluff
at the present site of Savannah. This
new colony had for its motto that noble
sentiment, mon sibi sed alis" ("Not for
itself, but for others )-indicating that it
was designed, not as a Botany Bay, as had
been slanderously alleged but rather as a
place of refuge for the poor tradesmen
and prosecuted religionists of the eastern
hemisphere. This settlement at Savannah
completed the thirteen original colonies
which established American independence
in 1888. Less than year thereafter the
great founder returned to the mother
country, carrying with him Tomo-Chi-

This noble savage. and his wife, who ac-

to London which was made a year later
he busted himself with arranging for a
third cargo Of emigrants and supplies for
the infant colony.
Among other passengers whom he secur-

John and Charles Wesley, both graduates
OF Oxford both learned and pious after

across d. yaWning chasm. This is one Of
the largest of the mOuasteries Of Meteora,
and has a guest chamber especially fitted
up for visitors-that is to say, there are
three iron beds in it, and II is only courte-

The Iegoumenos is most hospitable; he
gives his visitors excellent monastic wine,
a dinner of many weird courses, and is
himself very good company. As usual,
there are two churches in this monastery;
the smaller of the two possesses some
very fair ikons, set in beautifully carved
frames, and one very old picture, dated

The large church consists Of a nave,
ante-chapel, with the body of the church
under the dome, which is decorated with
the usual half-length figure of Christ.

NO TINE TO CROW LAX.

The past visitation of yellow fever
in this country have shown that coun-
try towns have most tofear in October
and November. Lnllcd into the
belief, that the first slight cold spell
will cause yellow jack to scamper,
people mconvenienced by quarantine
restrictions clamor for an unreasonable
modification OF these restrictions, with
the result that yellow fever creeps in.
This was the case i'll this parish III
1867 aud in 1873, and was the case
with a number of other places. Both
times Houma lost some Of its valued
citizens, although the loss inthis town
was indeed slight, when compared to
many other places that suffered from
the epidemic late in the season.
