He Wants n Divorce.

Because Mrs. Marion W. Hatton threw Q
stool at him and sewed a pants button on his
vest nearly thirty years ago. Theodore Hatton
wants an absolute divorce. The action Ia
brought in the state az Illinois, and evidence 10
being taken in th!s:city both for the plaintiff and
the defendant. The parties are we'll advanced
down the %toboggau OF time, the defendant being
upward of-5o years old and the plaintiff ab
least as aged.
There are some interesting things about the
case. Until about 1872 the Hattnns lived near
Amboy. supposedly happy, rs all married peo-
pic are to be considered until they reach the
courts, One day the plaintiff. after Ia quarrel
with his wife. which neither claim WAS regard
ed more than n trivial matter, left his home and
went West. He was heard from AT various times,
hut no contributions to the support of his wife
and child were received.
A short time ago Mrs. Hatton heard that
her husband had brought suit for divorce, and
that tulsi..cnt was about to be entered by do
fault. The matter Looked irregular, as Mrs.
Hhtlon had never, she says, received a scr vice
OF the papers or an intimation of the litigation
until informed by an acquaintance. IN an.

COAL FAMINE IN CHICAGO.
Only q TWO Days supply on Hand Tor the City
Institutions.

Institutions.
CHICAGO, July 1O.-A GOAL famine confronts
tho city. Every pumping station and all public
institutions are threatened with a shortage.
The discovery caused a panic among tho city
officials to-day. There is only two days supply on
hand. A greater calamity than a shortage could
not overtake the city at this season Of the year.
With the present equipment of the pumping
stations they would DO compelled to shut down
at once. The water supply would be cut of. and
the dangers from fro and disease would be
large.
Immediately. when tho gravity of the situa-
ton was understood, Commissioner McGann
called q conference with the leading coal deal
ers in the city. Only one of those who responded
reported a supply on hand. At the same time
the Commissioner ordered the stimate to DO
made on the cost of equipping half of the city
pumping station with oil burners.
Meanwhile the authority OF the city to con-
ascate coal in an emergency was made the sub
jsct of inquiry. Corporation Counsel Thornton
was called into conference and advised tho COM.
missioner that in the event Of a shortage sufi.
cient to endanger life and property he had full
authority under its police powers to seize and
use all coal necessary TO maintain tho public In.
stitutions.
Commissioner McGann Is therefore prepared
to take a decisive step In the event OF an emer.
gency. Whether there will be any coal In tho
city to con6scate is another question.

1t Isn't fair to start q baby ~
out In life loaded down with the chains
and manacles of ll-health. A baby ought
to have an even chance any way.
A mother can do a great deal to give
her baby a fair start. She can almost
always give him a strong, healthy consti-
tuition, by taking proper care and build
ing up her health during the time when
baby is expected. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has done wonders for ex-
pectant mothers and their babies. Il
gives health and strength to the mother
at the time she needs it most. 1t purifes
the whole system; gives endurance and
elasticity to the special organs of matern-
ity, and healthful o to the nerves. Il
makes confinement shorter and easier:
protects the mother from Frustrating re.
lapse and promotes q good supply of
healthy nourishment for the child.
1t is the only medicine that does all
this. 1t is the only medicine for women
devised by a regularly graduated, skilled
and experienced physician. DIR. Pierce's
medicines are standard remedies ali
over the world.
