TEARS OF AN UNHAPPY WIFE.
Her Heart Was Touched When the
Court Spoke of Her Children,

Court Spoke of Her Children.
Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, yes
terday declined to grant divorce in the
suit of Plus Brown against Augusta Brown
The woman was present to contest the suit,
and an attorney had filed a cross-complaint
asking that the decree be granted to her,
Mrs. Brown is woman of forty, and in
her younger days resided in the East. She
has held the place of governess in a num-
Der of wealthy families in the East. She
met her husband in Boston and was mar
ried there. Two bright-looking boys, one
about seven and the other ten years of age,
We're in court and the older lad was put
on the witness stand. His fathers lawyer
objected to the boy being called, and he
was asked if he knew the nature of an oath.
lie said he did, and he knew if he did not
tell the truth he would be punished.
Plus Browns fondness for tobacco seems
to have been the cause of much of the
trouble between him and his wife. Mrs
Brown detested the weed and tried to get
him 10 quit using 1t, but II appears that ner
EFFORTS were unsuccessful Ii was claimed
that one morning she brewed a quantity
OF tobacco ana gave 1t 10 her husband in
place of his coffee. Brown expressed "a pro-
uounced dislike Tor the woman in his teSti-
mony. once, when he was asked ii he did
not think they could NIX up their differences,
he replied:
Il would rather go to state prison than
live with that woman" 1T was charged
that Mrs. Brown used to consult a clair
Noyant, and was once told that one of her
boys had much of his fathers bad blood
in his veins. The mother. it was charged,
whipped the boy after this. Mrs. Brown
denied the charge and there was no evil
dence TO show that she mistreated the chill
dren. Judge Carter, in refusing the decree,
said he did not see any reason why the
browns should be divorced. He declared
he uA hrfe chi In
cour-, and he thought it would be the wrong
thing TO do TO consent to final separation
of The parents. They should live together.
he thought. for the sake of the two boys.
The court was sure that neither the hus-
band nor wife had been guilty of any act
that the other could not forgive. He urged
them to reconcile their differences. While
the court was speaking the wife sat with
bowed head and the tears streamed down
her cheeks. At the conclusion OF the case
there was no indication that there would be
a reconciliation.

FURNISHING COLLEGE BOYS ROOM
To Make Pleasant Quarters for the
Four Years study.
Harper's Bazaar.

1t must be remembered that the average
college boys room is usually poorly cared
for. While a college girls room is expected
to be- and almost always IS eXQUisitely
kept, our college boys too often live in a
state of positively disgraceful dirt. The first
requirements of civilization is cleanliness
yet, with whatever surplus funds are avail
able, an extra professor of Egyptian dia-
lects, or something else equally useless, in
stead of increasing and improving the jan
itor service-generally shamefuily lnsuIn-
Gent and incompetent in every university.
Therefore it Is folly TO provide your col
lege boy with hangings and sofa rinows or
delicate hues and fabrics. Everything he
has, so far as possible, should be capable
of easy laundering. The sofa pillows may
be buttoned into denim or crash slips, which
may be washed often. Couch coverings in
pale pinks and blues will soon look grimy.
The curtains on the bookcases and doors
and the scarf on the mantel should be OF
firm good colorS, and of texture to stand
hard usage.
if there be hardwood foundation beneath
it, Often a broad border can be painted
around the rug. If rugs are not available,
strong neutral-tinted Brussels carpet Is
the best substitute. If this can be lifted

Be sure that the boy has comfortable

have arms and should be carefully adapted
to the height of his desk. Let the desk
Get him a revolving bookcase for his refer
ence books if you can, and see that good
shelves are provided for his favorite books.
Give him more than these in the nope that
thew may become his favorites also.
A good lamp should stand on the steady
footed table and the boy should be required,
as far as possible, to keep it in good order
and to study by it.
If you happen to have an old piano, give
1t to the boy. and get a new one for the
family He may not take very good care OF
the old piano, but he will get much COM
fort out of 1t if he have music in him.
Merry battles will be waged in the col
lege boys room. In it, too. after great vic
tories out doors or in debate. there will be
uproarious celebrations. The embroidered
pink satin sofa pillows, the fine-webbed
lace hangings and the white fur rugs will
present sorry appearance after the fray;
but your denims and your we'll wrought
Oriental draperies may remain whole and
apparently unsoiled.
When you and the boy have carefully
looked everything over, and have seen tnat
the mattress is comfortable, that the
''household linen" and personal belongings
are we'll bestowed, and that everything is
spick and span and in good order then kiss
him goodbye and go nome and Iray. You
will have done all you can for him, and in
that little room or suite of rooms ne must
work out his own destiny henceforth Tor
veal or for woe.

THE "sILENT PARTNER,
Not Liable for Debts in saloon Co.

The Appellate Court, in reversing the case
Of Dustin NJ. Spauding against Julius Ma
than. yesterday, held that under the laws
OF the State 1t is Illegal for a saloon keeper
to have a partner. 2 ne original suit was
brought by Nathan against Spaulding as

the Appellate Court quoted the statute as

issued by the Board Of Comm issioners and
such license cannot be issued TO two or more
persons as partners.
The court construed this to mean that as

MAY CHARGE PREMIUMS.
Supreme Court Decides in Favor of a
BuiIding Associations.

Building Association.
The Supreme Court yesterday decided that
building association can legally charge a
premium" on loan, although by the col
lection of the premium the association may
be receiving more than the legal rates of
interest. In the case of the Indiana Mutual
Building and Loan Association against
Charles e. Crawley the latter was given
Judgment against the association in the
Sullivan county court on his contention that
the collection of premiums was Illegal, and
an appeal was taken from the decision The
association sued Crawley to foreclose a
mortgage. The latter claimed that his
mortgage provided that he was to pay per
cent. interest and per cent. premium, maxi
ing total Of 10 per cent. In his attorneys
opinion both interest and premium were in
fact interest, and therefore in collecting it
the association was guilty of usury The
lower court hello his contention 10 be good
and gave him credit for all payments in ex-
cess of his legal interest
In his opinion, Judge Jordan said: 1.-THE
pleader apparently attempts to raise the
question OF appellants right TO charge a
premium upon loan of money to q member
OF the association in the absence of any bid
ding for a preference in procuring such a
loan, as provided under Section 4449, Revised
Statutes. 1894. But the only thing tending
to show that the per cent. premium in
controversy is not in the nature of a bonus
bid by the defendant as a preference in OBJ
tanning his loan is the averment of the
pleader that the said per cent per annum,
called premium, was not to be paid for a
preference or priority In procuring said loan.
out the whole or said 10 per cent. was
charged without bidding for said money
Section 4449, supra, provides: "* said
association may provide in its bylaws that
the loans shall be made to the members of
the association who shall bid the highest
premiums for the preference or priority in
procuring loans etc. Section 4451 provides
that no premium in addition to the interest
on any loan shall be deemed to be usurious,
and it is provided that the same may be
collected. If the per cent. which the de-
PENDANT agreed to pay was not legally ex-
acted, but was simply an attempt to evade
the law against usury, the burden was on
the defendant to disclose such ulegality by
the averment of facts, and not by bare as
sertions"

Getting Rested.

IT'S now the mellow season when
The man who's all run down.
The man who's sick of noises and
The hurry in the town
The man whose back aches and whose legs
Shake like two slender reeds
The man. in short, who's tired out,
Just saws off and proceeds
To get away from worries and
From all lifes petty cares
Throws off the yoke while others stay
To fret DER his affairs
Drops everything that smacks OF work
And HES himself away
Into the woods and Tugs around
A heavy gun all day.

Hah His Title onicteh.

In the suit of Marcus L. Hare against
William r. Breckenridge and others to
quiet the title to a lot of land lying near
Brightwood, Judge Carter of the Superior,
Court, yesterday retu. ned verdict for the
plaintiff. Years ago Mr.. Hare sold 1872 lots
TO different people who desired TO speculate
in real estate. AT the time there was a big
boom in Indianapolis real estate. The lots
were never paid for, and in 1874 he took the
land back. His title had never been quoted,
and he brought suit short time ago to
have this done. There was no defense.
