DIVORCED FOR SIX MONTHS
A Singular Decree Made by Judge
Gaynor, of New York.
He Wants 10 Give the Disagreeing
Couple an Opportunity TO Ef-
feet "a ReCoac liation.

New York. Jan. 2i-Justice Gaynor,
in the supreme court, Brooklyn. has
handed down a decision which will at
tract much attention. He granted tn
Mrs. Sarah : Conner a decree of sep
aration from her husband, the separa-
tion to last for six months only. during
which time her husband is to pay her
$40 a week alimony.
In doing this the justice exercised a
power given TO him by law, but which,
as far as lawyers recall. has never be-
fore been used. Separations have here
tofore been permanent. Limiting the
duration of a separation is designed TO
give the parties an opportunity to re-
move the cause of trouble and effect
reconciliation
The case was heard last week, and
on saturday Justice Gaynor rendered
decision. in which he said:
L have had some hesitation about
finding in favor OF a judgment of sepa-
ration. The cruelty of this defendant
has been greatly magnitied, but j find
that he was sufficiently at fault to give
the plaintiff cause for legal complaint,
though l do not find that that condition
is permanent 1t is not necessary that
the parties be permanently separated.
On the contrary. a separation for SIX
months will suffice to remove all cause
for separation. and | give Judgment to
that effect, with $40 week alimony.
The wife must try TO effect reconcilia-
ton. for it is a rare case that woman
cannot manage a man ii she tries to-

GREAT PRICES FOR CLAIMS
Miners i'm the Klendike Rushing to
Birch Creek District.
Two Hund red Thousand Dollars said
TO Have Been Offered for
one and Refused.

New York. Jan. IA special from
Dawson City says: Word has come
from down the river that there is con-
siderable excitement at Circle City. On
nearly all the creeks III the Birch Creek
district mines are being located. Many
are locating mines from which the
owners are temporarily absent. and
numerous disputes are expected. The
district is the largest in area by far
that has ever been opened in the Yu-
kon country. Ii produced last summer
over a half million dollars.
There has been a stampede from Cir
Gle City over the RaZorback divide to
look for the creek in the Tananah side
upon which a miner found some gold
prospects. The last reports from MI
nook show that claims are being held
at high prices, and the miners have
great faith in their value, which will
be known d month hence, after shafts
have been sunk to bedrock.
II is reported here that 100000 was
refused for one claim on Hunter creek,
a branch of Minook Creek. Ii is more
than probable that large number of
persons will leave Dawson as soon as
they can for Minook- Much larger
areas of gold gravel have been discoV-
cred below the boundary line than
here. but nothing. except at Birch
Creek. that compares in richness with
the Bonanza and Eldorado creeks.
The fact that the mining laws in
Alaska are so much more satisfactory
than those of the Northwest Territory
will do much to influence persons 10

There has been brought into Dawson

a ,r.an named Mckay. who demanded

There has been no mail mere since oc-

She is not refraining frumfOod because she

and s,uau quantity OF lemonade is the
only liquid aside from water, that she
has taken.
Her condition is ROW one OF extreme
weakness, Bnd unless something can lie
done to get her stomach in condition to
perform its proper function it is tot thought
she can live long. Since "Wednesday she
has been unable to leave her bed. She was
taken 10 the City Dispensary that day by
the matron OF the Refuge.
Her case was diagnosed as stomach
trouble, the result OF mental disturbance.
She was prescribed for, but the medicine

particularly sad one. and the fact that she

was purpOsely starving herself TO death.
Continual disagreement with her step

est all over the country in the enter

the unemployed in the great cities of
the United States. As the Generals
stay in this country is necessarily linn
tied. he cannot speak in all the cities.

Needles Taken From a Maine Girl.
Bangor. Me. Jan. 24-Strange and
pitiful is the case of ClarIssa Turner
of Neazie, Me Twenty-eight years of
her life have been filed with suffering
and misery. and there is utterly no
hope for her recovery. 1t is a remark
able story that Clarissa's father tells
of his ctild's misfortunes.
James Turner, aged siXty-nine. lives
with his wife his daughter Clarissa
and a young granddaughter in a small
white cottage a little way from the
center of Neazie village and directly on
the electric car line. The house looks
well enough outside, but inside it is
miserable; no more wretched
abode could be found in the slums of
New York Nobody ever visits there,
and it was not known until recently
what a hoIr bic wreck of humanity was
sheltered there in the person of CIaris-
sa Turner.
It was reported recently in Bangor
that physician had opened swell
ing under the woman's left ear and
taken out a handful of needles and
pins. The story was not exactly true,
but the truth was bad enough.
The girl became an imbecile from
DN
from a traevling quack doctor Mr..
and Mrs. Turner says that they had
for years been aware that their
daughter had habit of carrying frag-
ments of glass in her mouth. and on
several occasions she had been observ-
ed to add pin or nail to the collec-
tion; but until recently they had no
idea that size was carrying a whole
handful pins, needles and rusted nails
between her tongue and cheek.
Clarissa, being easily excitable and
violent when aroused, was allowed to
keep the fragments of glass in her
mouth until one day in December.
when Mrs. Turner observed that hei
cheek was greatly swollen. Then, as
the young woman appeared to be in
docile mood. the mother coaxed her to
disgorge the mouthful.
Here is what came out OF Clarissa's
mouth: One hundred and ten common
pins, clapboard nails. shingle nails.
4 needles, 3 pieces of glass and a safe
ty pin. The pins We're blackened and
corrOded and the nails rusted. while
the clasp or safety pin, had left it's
impression as perfect as q die in the
flesh of the cheek.

RELICS OF LONG PAST AGES.

Prehistoric Village and Bu rial
Ground Found in Ohio.
MasSilon. Ohio, Jan. 24--The remains
Of village and the burial ground OF a pre-
historic tribe have been discovered ON the
farmof John Stopper. in sugar Creek town
ship, o few miles southwest Of here. Recent
and valuable discoveries have been made
and plans for a more thorough search are
being executed.
Mr. Steppe- uncovered several graves
which We're closed by slabs OF limestone
laid i'm a substance resembling brick. A
careful investigation revealed the fact that
cremation had been practiced. Beneath the
layer Of brick and stone. in each. was found
a dark substance and pieces of cfarred
wood, interuingled with black loam.
