Became for defendant. This is an action
TO recover for II weeks and five days
board at 50 per week. The parties to
this suit were married 10 years ago and
after livirg together Is years were di-
vorced. About two years ago they had
some negotiations with regard to re-
marriage, and in January. 1897. he went
by her invitation from Hallowell,
where me was living, to her house on
Oxford street, in Augusta. where she
was living with th'sir two children. he
was then out of health and remained
at her home for substa ntially the time
claimed in the writ.
The plaintiff admits that she did not
intend to charge him for this until az
ter trouble had arisen between them
and she ordered him from the premi-
ses, and broke off the engagement TO
marry. on account of his misconduct;
and says she wouldn't Then have made
any claim If the defendant hadn't made
claim agains. her fer supplies he had
furnished for the table. while he was
there. and offsetting It against a bill
which she had against him for the
board of their younger son, which he
admitted to be legal claim.
The defendant admits that he was at
plaintiffs house under the circumstan-
ces claimed. but denies that there was
ever any agreement express, or implied
to pay board: but he claims thar the
board was actually settled; that at the
time Of their settlement, after his leav-
ing. she claimed pay for beard and 1t
was rhen that he claimed icompensa-
tion for what he had furnisfhed' that
everything was then settled and his
counsel, with whom the negotiations
for a settlement were carried on, took
from her recei4t I'm fun of all de-
mands. which was produced, in court.
This receipt. she claims not to have
fully understood when she signed 1t.
Verdict for the plaintiff for $32.14.

Tho Mew Evil Of Tea Smoking.

try report an alarming growth OF tea
smoking. The habit is contracted BY
those whose nerves are disordered who
can't Sleep whose digestion is imperfect,
whose liver Is out of order. who get the
.'blues" and feel their strength departing
1t seems strange that sufferers from the
above disorders should not cure them
selves with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
This is a medicine which whets up the ap
petite. regulates the bowels, steadies thu
nerves and induces sound sleep. Those
who take 1t find that 1t cures dyspepsia
and there is no bad taste In the mouth II

Denver, March 16-The state indus
trial school for girls was again the
scene of disgraceful riot and general
uproar when the new matron, Mrs. u.
L. Harrison, was inducted into office.
Mrs Harrison was accompanied by the
board OF control and members of the
board of charities and corrections. The
scene took place at $3.50 a. m. Captain
Smithers had arranged matters to have
an imposing ceremony before the girls
with the idea Of impressing them favor
ably with the new matron. Mrs. Har-
rison lectured the girls for twenty min
utes, telling them how she intended to
rule them by common sense and love.
After the exercises the girls began
to sing vulgar songs and abuse ana
curse the visitors. At 11.45 the girls
had worked themselves into a perfect
frenzy and in the presence OF the new
matron and other authorities began de-
stroying everything that came under
their observation. They amused them
setyes by tearing the banisters off the
main stairway and using the rails to
break out the windows. Others broke
chairs and kicked in the panels of the
doors. All this was accompanied by
screeching and bad language. The po-
lice patrol was summoned and seven OF
the girls taken to the city jail. Mrs.
Harrison was greatly shocked but says
she is not discouraged.

OF the court, delivered to II by one of
the American divers. and II is the
strongest proof yet offered that the
Names destruction was encompassed
by an agency within the control OF the
Spanish authorities in the city of Hay-
ana. The statement emanates from an
authority SO trustworthy that its truth
fulness cannot be questioned Notwith-
standing the alert and watchful eyes
that are constantly upon the divers who
have been investigating the condition
of the sunken ships hull on the port
side, one OF them successfully concealed
one find that he made, and which he
brought up TO the float on which Cap
tain Sampson stood at the time.
1t was not big enough to attract par
.:cuar attention and it's actual import
ance was not Immediately realized.
With a mass of other stuff received
from the wreck IL was carried to the
Mangrove and placed in the cabin,
where the court holds its sessions
When the time came for continuing
the investigation the bit of cable was
examined. 1t was about fourteen inches
long. seven-eighths of an inch in diam
eter and contained seven copper wires
insulated with a gutta-percha covering.
The outside was of lead, one thirty-sec-
ond of an inch thick.
Both ends were smashed and Jagged
and torn, as If cut and then pounded.
The discovery was made about thirty
feet from the submerged bow and with
in the radius of fifty feet in which the
divers had been working. To those OF
the court familiar with electrical appli-
ances the character of this section OF
lead-covered cable was at once appar-
ent. II was such as would be used only
In deep seas or for some work In shall
