These People Were Deaf!
Two years ago all the doctors in Christ

without exception, that they must remain

Marian ID. Conner Applies for d.
vorce From Edwin S. Conner.
Marian D. Conner, by her attorney, E
h. Thomas, has filed bill in equity to
secure divorce from her huband, Edwin
S. Conner, once an advance agent of The
Marine Band, alleging desertion.
The claim of Mrs. Conner is that on the
Sd day of March, 1895, subsequent to her
marriage to defendant in September, 1889
her husband left her, going away from the
District and residing elsewhere, and that
ever since then he has failed to support her
She says her husband is man of intelli-
gence and capable of earning a support;
but that with the exception of the sum of
$50, contributed at different periods, he
failed to pay her board while they we're
residing with her parents This was in
the years 1891 to 1898.
Conner, she says, drew large salary
at the time he left her He went away from
Washington with the Marine Band, in
March, 1895, and the only communication
she has since had from Him was a letter,
in which he declined to return a ring be-
longing to her, which he carried with him
on the tour with the band. She believes
he is now residing in Philadelphia
