HER FoNDNEss FOR CATS
Causes Charles A. Workman, Sol
der, to Sue for Divorce.

Charles A. Workman, soldier, who has
just returned from one of the military camps
in Southland, was the plaintiff in suit
for divorce tried yesterday in Room 2, Su-
perior Court. He was married on Sept. 9,
1891, and lived with his wife until Novem~
ber 1897. In his complaint he averred that
his wife had treated him cruelty by strik-
ing him and threatening to shoot or poison
him. He also averred that the woman
threatened to leave him and lead an i'm
moral life.
Workman told Judge Harvey that his wife
began to abuse him within few hours after
their marriage. On their wedding night, he
said, he was drinking beer with some of his
friends, celebrating the nuptials. His wife
objected to his drinking the beer, and
snatching the glass from his lips, spilled the
contents over his wedding suit. According
to the testimony the wifes fondness for cats
was the cause of much of the disturbance in
the Workman household. Workman admit
ted to the court that he had frequently lost
his temper on account of the cats. He SAID
and they would sometimes run over the ia
BILE. This made him very angry, and he oc-
casionally threw his wife'S pet into the yard
Mrs. Workman would then lose her temper
was considerable testimony as to the num-
Der of cats Mrs. Workman kept about the
house. One witness testified that he thought
fifteen was about the number. Another wit
ness did not think there could have been
more than eleven. Mrs. Workman admit
occasions, but she declared his treatment
of her caused her to lose her temper.

SHE WORE A BOYS SUIT
MATRON CARSON's "FINE-LOOKING

A girl, attired in the garb of a boy, ap-
piled at the Door of Hope for shelter Friday
night. She said she had worked for man
near Louisville, KY, and had left him be-
cause of his cruelty. The boys clothing
which the girl wore was of the best sort
II never" said Matron Carson, "saw finer
looking boy than presented himself to me
that night, and was very much surprised
to learn that it was a girl standing before
me-" The girl was furnished garments prop
err to her sex, down to a respectable pair of
shoes, which were lacking while she mas
queraded as a boy. She was then taken to
the Police Station, where she told many
conflicting stories. To Superintendent of
Police Quigley she said her name was Ruth
Burdsell. When Matron Gregoire questioned
her the girl said her name was Rutia KEEL
ley and that she lived at Pleasant, Ind. She
told Superintendent Quigley that her home
her grandfather, Aba Bates. The girl had
a small market basket, in which were a lot
of odds and ends, including funeral cards
of members of the Kelley family, pictures
of theatrical people clipped from theatrical
magazines, and a little advertising mem
oranda book, in which had been noted the
addresses of various advertisers who wanted
boy to work for them. The basket also
contained the long locks of hair that had
graced her comedy head before she decided
to don boys clothing. She is detained at the
Station House until something can be
learned from her friends. She appears to
be about seventeen years of age, and there
is something peculiar in her manner which
leads the police officials to fear she is not
altogether right mentally.
