NEW YORK, Nov. &C. = John w.
Merriam, a wealthy tobacco merchant,
who Is q member Of the firm of e.
Fonseca & Co., of this city, has been
directed by Judge Bischoff, of the SUI
preme court, to contribute to the SUD-
port Of his wife, Adelaide NJ. Merriam,
so that she may live in the style she
has been accustomed to.
This decision is given notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Merriam obtained a divorce
in North Dakota on the ground of
cruelty and violent temper. 1t is the
first decision of the kind in this state,
and lawyers said it was warming to
husbands that the courts of this state
would not permit them to free them
selves from obligations to their wives
by going West and Obtaining divorces
in a state where practically only tech
meal residence Is required in order to
obtain a divorce.
Mrs. Merriam was young widow
when she was married to Mr.. Merriam
on Aug. 30, 1882, at Oshkosh, Wis. Sew
era1 years later the couple came to
this city to live. Mrs Merriam's al
lowance was 800 a month, and she
spent her summers at Newport, Nara
gansett Pier and other fashlonable re-
sorts. Several years ago, through let
ters and kilograms which he received,
she declares, she discovered that her
husband was attentive to another
woman. After that her allowance was
reduced, and, when her husband went
West, he tried to induce her TO go with
him She says he hoped to obtain a
divorce which, with her appearance in
the suit, would be binding.
Upon the advice of her counsel Mr..
Hummel, Mrs. Merriam paid no at
teTtion to her husbands suit in North
Dakota. and ignored his requests for

Shelby county William A Woods kill
ed Samuel Hughes. The case came up
for trial in the criminal court. A large
number OF persons were examined for
jurors. K. w. Epperson stated that he
had reached conclusion from detail
ed newspaper article.
Judge Cooper, the trial judge, held
that he was a competent juror, and
entitled TO sit in the case. The de-
Tense objected. The judge said that,
while the man was fully qualified, he
would allow him to be challenged and
another juror drawn in his place. The
legal number of men had BEEN rchal-
lenged by the defense and disqualified.
The only alternative was, for the de-
Tense to accept Bpperson as a juror
The accused was convicted. The case
was appealed to the supreme court
The main allegation made by the at

A Few Permitted to Study I'm Two.
Great Educational Centers.


II imitation be. as we are told. the SIN
cerest form OF fattery. a decision of the
Russian minister of public instruction which
has just been promulgated should be re-
garded as peculiarly gratifying to English
men, although the object in view is calcu-
lated to furnish them with serious food Tor
reflection.
The satisfactory results obtained in India
through the various womens missions es-
tablished there of late years, have been
studied with great interest by the Russian
government for some time past writes q
correspondent from st. Petersburg.
The excellent means that such a system
would present for the classification of
Oriental races was easily recognized. and sew
eraI years ago, as tentative measure spe-
cial facilities for the study OF several Orien-
tai languages were accorded to a carefully
selected group OF lady studen at st. Peters
burg.
The result appeared so satisfactory to the
Russian government that arraD gements have
now been made by the minister of pubic in
struction for the immediate opening of spe-
cial classes, reserved exclusively for women.
at st. Petersburg and at Moscow, in which
besides receiving instruction in one or more
Oriental languages, the students are required
to follow a carefully prepared course OF
study that will enable them to profit by the
peculiar facilities they-as ladies-will enjoy
of personal intercourse with the families OF
Oriental personages.
THEIR VALUE AS DIPLOMATS.
skillfui lady diplomatist, 1t Is recog-
nized in Russia. is often far more valuable
than one Of the sterrer sex.
In the ordinary course OF diplomacy in the
East diplomatic agents are brought into con-
tact with men alone. A lady, the con-
trary, could not only exert her influence in
the highest quarters through the families
into which no man could penetrate. but often
employ 1t also with no less success directly
upon Oriental statesmen themselves.
This, indeed, is no new feature in Russian
diplomacy The immense influence urOn Eu-
ropean politics exercised by at least three
Russian ladies, in whose salons in Paris
some of the most important political events
OF the century were organized, is matter Of
history.
There influence was not lessened by the
fact that they were carefully represented as
being by no means favorabiy regarded at the
Russian court.
This, however. is the first time In which a
regular attempt has been made to give ladies'
a special training for the secret service OF
the corps diplomatique.
With certain exceptions the students must
all have passed through the regular course
of thorough instruction in medicine, and It
Is significant that except Chinese, the Ori-
entail languages taught in these classes are
not those spoken TO any extent in any part
of the Russian empire, as at present consti-
tuted but are almost exclusively those OF
races dwelling beyond the present Russian
frontiers, and especially in Persia. Afghanis-
