Hobson is too young for a Pres

Gen. Clay and Dora.
Divorce Proceedings Insti-
tuted by the General.

Richmond, Sept. al Special tn
Louisville Post. The divorce pro-
ceedings instituted in the Circuft
Court here by Gen. Cassius NJ.
Clay against his child wife, Dora.
have aroused such widespread in,
tsrest, and SO much curiosity has
been manifested to know the extent
of the allegations charged in his
petition against the little uoma an,
who until recently he so thoroughly
idolized, the Evening Post CORES
pendent procured copy of the pc
tition which is presented below:
A mass of evidence in the case,
in deposition form, has been taken
by the attorneys, which will be
submitted with the petition, and
the defendants answer, to Circuit
Judge Scott, who, next Monday,
the time set for hearing of the case,
will probably grant a decree. de-
claring this union Of May and De-
cember at an end.
The petition is as follows:
"The plaintiff, c. M. Clay, states
that he resides in Madison county,
Ky, near white Hall, and has con-
tinuously resided therein for
many years past; that on the 9th
day of November, 1894, he was
married to the defendant, whose
maiden name was Dora Richardson.
The plaintiff and defendant have
resided together as husband and
wife from the date of said marriage
up to July Sd, 1897. He says that
he has treated the defendant in
respects as a dutifal a ~
husband should during
marriage and that he b. = 5
and discharged all the e>
said marriage contract, b.
that without any fault on h.
the defendant did leave and az.
don him on July 3, 1897 and since
said date of abandonment has re-
manned continuously separate and
apart from plaintiff, and has re-
fused to return and reside with the
plaintiff and discharge her duties
as wife toward him and still doth
refuse"
"The plaintiff says said abandon
ment occurred in Madison county,
Ky, on July 3, 1897, and has con-
tinously existed since said date;
that the plaintiff and defendant
now reside in Madison county, XIV.
and SD resided at the time of said
abandonment.
Wherefore the plaintiff prays
for decree divorcing him from the
defendant and dissolvlng the mar
.riage contract existing between
then, that the defendant be restored
to her maiden name and given all
proper relief"
DOra's answer to the abovsxGi-
tion admits all Congratulated
therein, but asks no alimony, the
words proper relief indicating
that the General has decided to
provide for her future comfort, and
this ne has probably done In pur-
chasing the pinkard place at cost
of $500, mention of which has al
ready been made in the Evening
Post.

The Sunday School Lesson SimpIified
for the Children.

elijah the Prophet" LIST Kings, III to 16.
Last Sabbath we heard about the Kingdom OF
Israel being divided and two kings reigning
over Israel Rehoboham at Jerusalem over parti
of the people and JerobOam over the other paY0
OF the people at Sheohem. Well, long afteRE
these two kings had passed away there CANA
other kings; one of these was Abab, greah
soldier, but a bad man. He had very bad ror
man fora wife. She prayed to idols Of bEass,
and wood end stone. She had no love III her
heart. Do you know her name? 1t was Jezehel.
While King Ahab and Jezebel lived i'll haem
palace God sent IA good wise man to them, "a
prophet whose name was Elijah, TO tell th6El
about the true God. But they would not Listen
nor believe in our God, so Elijah prayed that
our God would prove to them that he was the
true God Then God told Elijah to tell Ahab
that he would not send any more rain GA earth
for over three years. SO it happened there was
no rain, nor dew, the grass wlthEed, the
flowers died, the brooks dried up and every
body and everything was thirsty. God told
Elijah of a little brook that was not yet dry
down near to Jericho and that h9 should 90
there and hide himself so the people could not
find him. So Elijah went to the brook Chereth
and lived there all by himself he drank from
| the brook and God sent some large birds to car
~ him bread and meat every day. But by and
by the brook dried up and perhaps Elijah
thought how will God care sSs me now. Bat
God told him to 90 way down to the sea share
between Tyre and Sidon ard there he wCRe
find one good woman who would take care Of
him. So he went to the lrttle city of Zarepaati
and found a woman gathering some sticks t
make a fire. Elijah was hungry and very thrs
ty so he asked first for a drink. She started t.
get him drink and he called to her 20 brin
him a little bread. The poor womaa locke,
very sad and told him she had no bread in tn
house. only Just a little meal in a jar and littl
J bit of oil in a Jug and she was getting the WOO
. to bake this for herself and her boy and aftC
( they had eaten this they must Sfarye. Eliza
[ told her to take the meal and make him a cak
e and after that she could make one for hegsel
|, She did as he told her and God kept the me;
in the jar and the oil in the jug all the tim
&c There was always just so much oil and so muc
T. meal. This was miracle. God did it to Sa,
lie a good man and good woman. SO he will cal
no for you and me If we are good and trust IN hin
40 Let us be good and trust in God.

FIREMEN INJURED.
Casualties at a Blaze in the Bust
ness District of Cam bridge,
Mass.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 21.-A fire
which broke out in the pork-packing es
adjustment of John 2. Squire & Co. at
East Cambridge today resulted in q seri-
Gus injury to seven men and property loss
estimated at 100000. John Ward the
Waterman of the building, was not seen
during the fire and it is feared he lost his
life in the flames.
When the fire was at its height the
front wall, which rose to a height Of six
and a half stories on a narrow street in
which the firemen were at work, fell.
There was no warning and it had not APP
peared that the wall was seriously weak
ened. Seven men were buried in the
wreck, all of whom were more or less Sc
riously injured.
A little later, after the fire had been
gotten under control, Burke, Donahue
and Reilly We're at work on the first floor
of the building when it collapsed. The
men named were thrown into the base
ment among barrels of lard and oil, while
the mass of wreckage came down over
them. Rescuers freed them as quickly
as possible and sent them to the hospitals.

Got His Salary from the Sultan.

1t transpires that an extraordinary in
cident occurred when the Emperor left
Constantinople. The Sultan was return
ing from bidding farewell to his guests,
when a man rushed through the escort
and placed a large linen bundle in the car
riage at the Sultan's feet. Prince Abdel-
kader, the second son of the Sultan, who
was with the latter in the carriage,
jumped to his feet and shouted:
They are going to murder my father!'
There was a scene of intense excitement
until an aide-de-camp snatched the bun
die out of the carriage, and found that, in
stead of explosives, it contained baby.
The man who placed the bundle in the
carriage was arrested. He declared he
was a poor official: that he had not re-
ceived any salary for months, and that he
was Oh the verge of starvation, and that
he threw the child into the carriage in
order to draw the Sultan's attention to his
condition. The Sultan, on hearing the
mans story, ordered his salary to be paid,
and the child was taken into the household
of Prince Abdel-Kader.

JOHN BULL IS ACTIVE.
Army and Navy Preparations on
Both Sides of Dominion
of Canada.

Ottawa, Can. Nov 21-At the rate
heavy ship-guns, quick-frers, small arms.
ammunition, munitions of war and stores
for active service are arriving at Hall
fax and EsQuimalt, it will soon be posi-
bic to convert ocean liners into armed
cruisers and transports equivalent to the
embarkatiOn Of 10000 men simultane-
Ously for any points in the far Eastern
seas to which the ships might be ordered.
There is apparently no intention to pro-
vide for movement Of troops to any
large extent from Europe across Canada
by the Imperial highway" to Asia. On
the contrary, every indication points to
Esquimalt being utilized chiefly for fit
ting out cruisers and transports on sud
den emergency and Halifax as supply
depot for the dispatch of supplies and
drafts Of reinfOrcementS overland to rs
Quimalt.
Facilities for the transport Of troops
in large numbers across the continent I'M
der the conditions the imperial govern
ment would impose are not unlimited,
though means might be improvlsed at
sharp pinch to rush through as many as
10000 men, without break. No such
strain, however, seems likely to occur.
Weakening the British garrisons in Eu
rope for service in the East by way of
Canada is evidently not contemplated
Everything concurs to induce the belief
that in case of call for troops they
would be embarked from india Can
ada doing her share III providing some
OF the transports and converted cruisers
The recent additions to the China and
Japan liners sailing from Canada, and
transport accommodation available on
sudden emergency from other qurters
insure sufficient tonnage at short notice
to answer a summons to rendezvous at
any point indicated for the embarkatiOn
n n 10
Unless the information is wholly err
roneous. the conditions are such that
year, at least, of ceaseless effort would
be required to fit out an adequate Franco
Russian force for the Eastern seas to
cope with the British power already there
or presently available. And in the mean
time, it is asked, what would the British
be doing?

HOW MISERABLE THEIR FATE"
Paris Paper Consoles with Spain
Over American Rapacity.

Paris, Nov. 21.-The Soleil today re-
viewing at length the peace negotiations
says: How miserable is the fate of our
Spanish neighbors. American rapacity
has not left them an inch of territory they
have possessed in America since the time
of Columbus or in Oceanica since Magel-
Ian. But that is not the worst of their
misfortune. Their whole edifice of DO
litical economy and administration is 60
ing to pieces. Their parliamentary par
ties, which, moreover, never had strong
root, are completely disorganized and no
one dares assume the responsibility of
power. The present ministry remains be-
cause no one wishes to replace it. But it
is almost pOwerless before ills which
threaten the country"
Touching the fate of the Spanish sol
diers who, are now returning to life of
idleness, the Soliel says: IF they employ
their leisure in conspiring, no one can
reasonably be astonished."
The Petit Bleu says: Spain is becom-
ing resigned at the idea of giving the isl
and up, and the cortes will understand
and approve of the inevitable sacrifice"
The Figaro declares that Spain will give
IN because she is powerless.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE
Actress Who was Snubbed at
Charleston, S. G. May Marry
Her Champion.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 19.-Charlotte
Crane, who plays the part of Jennie
Buckthorn in Shenandoah" now run
ming at McVicker's, is the heroine of
romance in real life which in point of in
terest is quite as good as some of the
mimic ones seen on the stage
1t had its beginning little over year
ago at Charleston, S. c., when Miss
Crane was requested to leave d ballroom
by some supersensitive people because she
was an actress.
The incident attracted much attention
at the time and resulted in much adverse
comment on the action of the Charleston
people because of the fact that Miss
Crane, whose real name is Bowes, comes
Of an excellent family of Springfield, H.,
and is Of absolutely irreproachable char
acter
She was escorted to the ball in ques-
ton by Cadet Peterson OF the United
States navy, and he was exceedingly in
dignant at the course of the Charleston
people. 1t now transpires that Miss
Crane and Mr.. Peterson have recently
become engaged, and will, according to
report, be married as soon as he returns
from twoyear cruise on which he will
soon start.
Miss Crane seemed greatly surprised
when asked regarding the truth of the
report and declined to answer until she
received reply to a telegram which she
sad she wished to send. Later she de-
clared there was no truth to the report
The management and other members
of the company, however, confirm the re-
port of the engagement

of the protocol. Each article of the pro-
tocol must stand, for it was in no respect
dependent on what would follow at Paris,
saving the one clause touching the Philip
pines. For instance. Spain agreed posi-
lively to relinQuish her sovereignty over
Cuba and Porto Rico and eyacuate those
islands, and to cede to us one of the La
drOne islands for a naval station. Those
agree ments are beyond recall and all that
was left to be settled at Paris related to
the Philippines. That is the ultimate
position of the United States government
as announced at the state department
AS to what shall follow now-peace or
War--the officials are not clear and earn
est consideration will be given to this sub
lect before any decision is announced. 1t
is believed that the Spanish forces in
Cuba will continue the evacuation of the
islands which is now in progress. 1t is
not thought probable that they will at
tack the United States forces and the lat
ter will not attack them so long as they
continue to carry out the terms Of the
protocol. There is no problem connected
with Porto Rico, which is now completely
in Gus possession.
Guam, one Of the IadrOnes can be
easily garrisoned at any time, the Span
lsh force there having surrendered This
leaves about the only questions to be de-
termlned those connected with the Phil
lpplnes. 1t is not believed that Spain
WIN llt'ht any el1Ofl 10 Qucr lueSe
islands. Meanwhile the United States
military and naval commanders probably
Will be directed to extend their occupa-
non at once to tie Whole group of isl
ands, though it is not clear that this can
be accomplished without much trouble
and perhaps q hostile clash with the in
surgentS.
For some reasons a speedy decision to
undertake this work would be acceptab BILE
t" the state department. There are for
n interests and the lives and property
at stake therefore which the United States
has assumed a moral if not technical re-
sponsibility: Such for instance is the sit
uation in the city of Iloilo, the second of
mportanc in the Philippines, which is
besleged by a large number of insur-
gents. The small Spanish garrison is in
adequate to defend the foreign interests
III the place, and although under our con-
structlon of the rules of war we are not
permitted to act there so long as HOSTILE
ties are suspended, yet there is some
force in the Spanish plea that we have
prevented them from defending them
selves and the foreigners in their care
from the insurgents.

NO OFFICIAL ADVICES.
But United States is Prepared to Act
If Reports Are True.

if Reports Are True.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 21.-The state
department has not yet been advised of
the reported refusal of the Spanish peace
commissioners to continue the negotiations
in arts. Secretary Alger expresses dis
belief of the accuracy of the report, or,
rather he feels that it was based upon
the personal expression of opinion of
President Rios of the Spanish commits
sion and that he did not necessarily repre-
sent the formal opinion of the full COM
mission. Still the breach, if breach there
has been, would not be matter of sur
prise to the state department, which has
shaped instructions to the American com
mlsslOners so as to bring the negotiations
in Paris to sharp issue, one way or the
other today.
If President Rios did express the deter
mination Of the Spaniards, under their in
structlons the American commissioners
VIII promptly pack up and leave Paris
for the United States at once. 1t is said
at the state department. that nearly all of
their work in such case will go for moth
ing
The proceedings before the commission
were so conducted that no one point
agreed upon was to be regarded as binding
unless Il complete treaty should be made
In other Words the agreement on each
point as it was passed over was tentative
and final acceptance was conditioned upon
a complete agreement on all points.
This does not necessarily wipe out what
has been accomplished under the terms
