THE THIRDS TERRIBLE MARCH.

Talking OF soldiers having a tough

time than the Third Infantry had in

Forge. | was member of the Third
Infantry in 1878. We had been stationed
al New Orleans for several years. but
during the strike riots In PENNSYLVANIA
i'm the summer of 1877 We were ordered
TO that state. Soon afterward we were
sent West 10 assist in subduing Chief
Joseph and his band Of NeZ Perces hos

Montana we were ordered 10 Helena.
This required tramp OF more than 600
miles BY reason of our long residence
i'm the south we were in no condition,
either physically or by equipment, for
winter I'm the Rocky Mountains and
our sufferings were terrible.
During "A large portion OF the long
march we we're exposed TO most violent
snow storms. with the thermometer
never less than 15 degrees below zero.
Not an officer or private in the regi-
ment was provided with overshoes or
gloves. Many OF us were nearly bare

divorce suit OF Susan l.. HoIlocher.
which has occupied the attention OF Su-
perlor Judge Ogden several times. took
the stand i'm his own behalf today and
told a story of remarkable devotion 20
his home ard spouse. Mrs. Hollocher
had told the court that she had sup
ported herself and husband. Hollocher
did not deny her statement, but showed
that while his wife had chosen TO be
the breadwinner he had become house
keeper, doing the cooking, washing and
scrubbing.
Hollocher. according to his own testi-
mony, had endured more than the ordi-
nary housekeeper, for his wife enter
tained many or her church friends.
He had To cook for them all. wash the
dishes and wait on the whole party. He
did not mind the housework. but. like
man, he could not bear to hear half
dozen women talking about Brother
So-and-So all the time" while he was
regarded as servant. In order TO
avoid losing his temper and making a
scene, Hollocher testified. he had been
i'm the habit of going out evenings"
Thus he answered the charge OF neglect
made by his wifes9
Hollocher did not say that he had al
ways managed to act the part OF the
gentle housewife. He admitted that
sometimes he became very angry. and
on one occasion so angry that he
threatened to blow out his brains after
burning the house down. But this was
when the man asserted itself I'm Hollo-
cher. for he told the court he was only
bluffing. and would have surrendered
when IL came 20 final test ON the whole.
avaf AA tAu I'm,
that Hollocher and his wife had chang
ed places in the household, and al
though Hollocher had often tried. he
had always been unable TO release him.
self from bondage. Sometimes his wife
took more interest in spiritualism than
in her home. and it was then that Hol-
locher lost his temper.
Judge ogden. in>passing upon the
case, was inclined To take the view
that Hollocher ha, held up his end of
the marriage contract" by doing the
housewives work while she did his.
There was no neglect. he thought, al.
though the defendant had failed to fur
nish the cash To run the house.
The court also denied the divorce on
the principal ground of extreme cruel
ty. He thought that although Holo-
cher had admitted making threats
against the plaintiffs life, the mouth
ings of n man Of inferior power as Hol-
locher had shown himself to be. We're
scarcely of any consequence.
In conclusion Judge ogden entered
upon n brief discussion OF the tendency
toward free love To which scientific
minds. and especially physicians, were
driven because Of such family disputes

The divorce was denied and an offer

7 see that my wild-eyed anarchist
friend. Sid sherman. rejoices at the de-
feat of the revised Constitution
He said before election that il ought
to be defeated and SO. of course, he is
glad that II is.
The point that he makes that IL was
drafted by a body of men who repre-
sent the wealthy classes, If well taken,
of course. accounts for its defeat
Anything that the wealthy classes
get up ought To be turned down-that's y
our wild-eyed friend Sherman's view.
OF course the wealthy classes are
at liberty To chip i'm for potato patches
and give Mr.. Sherman job in school
vacation.
But they mustn't be allowed to
make Constitutions for us.
That's right, Sherman-you keep
right along keeping the wealthy classes
in their place.
They are sometimes a pretty sassy
lot the wealthy classes are, and a fell
low like you is mighty handy for a
town to have around just to hold the

The trusts flourish despite the
campaign making against them in Ohio
and the battle of the opposing Sugar
organizations which. by the way, have
just pleasantly agreed to the extent of
a temporary hoist in the price OF their
alleged To be competing products. 1t il
figured that today the trusts of one
kind and another have an aggregate
capital OF considerably more than two
billions OF dollars. a sum that stuns the
mental grasp. and more than enough
TO pay Uncle Sans national debt.
Within the past year. moreover, arti-
cles Of incorporation have been taken
out for hundred new industrial com
binations, trusts, big and little, against
which record the Supreme Courts man
date against the railroad trust, known
as the Joint Traffic Association, seems
only an inconsiderable relief from the
prevailing tendency of capital. Indeed
the suits in court to dissolve trusts
worry wearily along while the trusts
multiply with great rapidity on the
face OF the earth. New Jersey with It's
easy corporation laws is the home of
trust making though few IL any OF the
big combinations maintain more than a
nominal headquarters in that state. The
state, however. reaps large returns
from the trust making industry. The
biggest trust of all the trusts. Federal
Steel, has recently been incorporated in
New Jersey with a capitalization of
5000 ,OOo, 900 and that must have been es-
pecially rich pickings for the thrifty
Jerseyites.
