HALL GAME on AMERICA.
English Novelist Gives His Impress
siOns in Interview.

LONDON, December 22.-Mr. Han Caine,
the novelist and playwright, who returned
from the United States by the White Star
steamer Majestic, which reached Liverpool
on Tuesday, interviews himself this morn
ing in the Daily Telegraph to the extent of
four columns, giving his personal impress
sions' of America.
OF American journalism Mr. Caine speaks
highly, though he is surprised at the small
and fieeting impression the war has made
on the minds and condition of the American
people He thinks there is mo great life
in the controversy on the expansion ques-
ton" for he doubts whether anybody
feels keenly either way"
Regarding the relations between Great
Britain and the United States, Mr.. Caine
says:
Il believe that the feeling in America
toward England is the same as it was three
years ago. Certainly there has been no
such extraordinary change as can be OBJ
served in England toward America. No
body In the United States appears to want
an alliance or an understanding. Good feel
ing for England is deep and widespread, but
the English traveller in America is made to
feel that we in England are much more
vocal on the union of the Anglo Saxon race
than our compatrots in America are vet
prepared to be"

I'm guilty.. was the plea of Flemmng
Clayton. colored. when arraigned in the
Police Court today on a charge of assault.
rs this man your husbard?" the court
asked Louisa Clayton, when she appeared
on the witness stand.
Hes my lawfully married husband she
answered but n amt no good to me-
If i send him to jail said the judge,
you will be after me in few days to let
him out"
Indeed, God knows l won't bother you
about lin" declared Louisa.
The womans complaint was that her hus-
band thinks more of drinking liquor than
he does of taking care of her. Last night
he came home drunk and assaulted her
with lighted lamp.
And that wasn't his first time" said the
wife. I've had him arrested before and
sent to Jail, hut it didn't do him any good"
How long has it been since h got out
of jail?'
Two months and two weeks" was her
answer. He was sent down the last time
for assaulting a woman in Shepherds al

The husband told an entirely different
story.
You ought to be up thare in the alley
some time and hear what she says to me-"
said the prisoner
YOU will have to go to Jail for three
months" the court told Flemming.
Thank the Lord for that much" said
Louisa when she heard the sentence i'm
posed, and l don't want anything more
10 do with him.

against Jay Writ Kali The couple were
married by Rev. DIR. Stakely of the First

been residing most of the time since at 915
Florida avenue. They have two children
According to Mrs. Kali her husband is a
printer by trade. and, in addition, an actor
of no mean attanments; that while on the
stage he had important positions and has
served as manager for prominent theatri-
cal concerns. because of his unusual at
tainments, both as an actor and as
printer, says Mrs. Kali, her husband has
at all times been able to provide luxuri-
antly for his family. but, she charges, he
has eVinced an absolute indifference toward
his wife and children and so continuously
gwen himself over to strong drink that he
has failed to provide the necessary means
for the Sustenance of his family
Mrs. Kali further alleges abusive treat
ment and threats of violence on the part
of the defendant. In addition to a divorce
the petitioner asks the custody of the chill
drcn, aiimony, counsel fees and an injunc-
ton to restrain Mr.. Kali from moesting
her. Her solicitors are Messrs. Leckie &
Fulton.
