LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY
Suffers Keen1y From the Estrange-
ment of His Paren is.

washington, March 21-Much inter-
est has been felt here in the announce
ment that Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur
nett has entered suit for divorce from
her husband, DR.. Ivan M Burnett.
Friends of the couple have predicted
just such an ending to the alliance,
which has been a peculiar one, with
overwhelming ambition and self appre-
citation, strengthened by adulatiOn on
one side, sensitive pride, propensity
to dictate and unyielding determination
on the other.
Sentiment is about evenly divided on
the subject. Mrs. Burnett connected
herself with the gay social element of
Washington life. She bought a home
on one of the finest streets of the west
end, entertained lavishly, wears i'm
ported gowns, talks of her London
home, and in fact, is very English in
her manner and speech. Late suppers,
theater parties and Sunday evening
receptions are her delight.
DR.. Burnett, on the other hand, be-
longs to a rather slow literary set. A
dry, scientific or sOcialistic problem is
more to his taste than the London
as he deSignateS Mrs. Burnett's favor
tie diversion. 1t is stated by her
friends that their estrangenent is mere
ly a drifting apart, but friend who
knows Mrs. Burnett intimately says the
trouble began by DR.. Burnett debating
a financial policy to his wife in regard
to the money that comes to her from
her literary work. This Mrs. Burnett
resented.
About this time the illness of the eld-
est son began, and DR.. Burnett, in
formulating a system of treatment for
the boy, came in direct anita Onfsm
with the ideas of the mother. She
took the son abroad. 1t was her means
that paid for the trip. DR.. Burnett re-
manned in Washington. As everyone
knows, Lionel died in Venice. The es-
arrangement began then, when the faith
er felt that his better knowledge in the
case was set aside and the young life
went out before he was able to get to
the sufferer.
Very early in the trouble between DR..
Burnett and his wife the former began
to feel it unpleasant to live in her
house. With his own means he pur-
chased one Of his own at 914 Seven
teenth street, equally commOdious and
further down town. He enjoys a fine
practice as an Oculist. Their son, vi
Wan Burnett, a handsome young fellow
of %, who is the Little Lord Fauntle-
roy of her book, is now a Harvard stu
dent. When in Washington he spends
most of his time with his mother, who
surrounds him with gay young friends,
and plans good times for him, but the
young man feels very keenIy the state
of affairs between his parents. He
suffers, really suffers, because of the
trouble. He is said to be as fond of
his father as he is of his mother. But
the ruling spirit of the family compels
subsection. and he is too loyal by ma
ture to oppose her.

BE UNLOCKED HER DRESS.
Gallant Santa Fe Conductor Helped a

When the conductor on the Pullman car

over the passengers of his car a few
nights ago there was one woman ABOARD,

The woman cOntented herself with a yell

some interesting facts about the scenery.
She seemed to be cOntented, even If she

WHERE TRAMPs MUST WALK.
Stealing a Ride is Now a Prison Of
Tense in Georgia

Macon, Ca. March 21.--The act passed
at the last session of the legislature to
prevent tramps or others from stealing
or attempting to steal a ride on railroad
trains was put into effect today in the
recorders court for the first time possibly
since the law was enacted Two persons.
A. w. Wood, colOred, and Anthony Brown,
white. were caught on the Georgia South
ern train last night attempting to beat
their way as the train was passing
through Houston county and were
brought to Macon by the conductor and
turned over to a policeman and they were
carried to the barracks. They were ar
raigned in the recorders court this morn
ing.
The new law in question which no doubt
has today received its first application,
reads follows:
1t shall be unlawful for any person to
ride, or attempt to ride, on railroad
train of any character who conceals him
self from the conductor or train authorl-
ties by hiding under the train or upon the
top of the train or in box cars or ten
ders or elsewhere for the purpose of avoid
ing the payment of fare or of stealing
ride thereon.
ANY person found guilty of violating
this act shall be punished as for misde
meanor in any county in which such Of
tense is committed

COLD STORAGE OF APPLES.
Horticultural Society Declares it is e
Failure.

Kansas City, March H.-COld storage
of apples was declared a failure by
the forty members of the Missouri Val
ley Horticultural society at it's meeting
at the Coates house Saturday. The
conclusion was reached after the most
careful test of the storage for three
years and the members who have large
stocks of apples in storage this winter
will try something else for the coming
season. They stated that apples ap
parentIy sound and all right in the
storage rooms would decay in two days
when taken out, and that, despite the
best they could do, they were certain
to meet loss in their crops. They felt
that apples ought to last at least two
weeks after being taken out of the stOr-
age and any system was a failure that
had the opposite effect.
They say their experiment with dry
storage in large cellars show that ap
pies will keep almost as well and Will
last two weeks with ease when taken
out. They said the present system of
cold storage was uncertain, apparently
not we'll understood and the result
quite unsatisfactory all round.
Captain E. p. Diehl, of Olathe, pre-
scented the society with a historic gavel
made from the trunk of an apple tree
that was planted at Usage Mission in
1857 by the frontier missionary, Rev.
Mr.. Thomas Johnson. 1t was an Eng
fish Golden Russet and for many years
produced a fine lot of fruit each year.
The handle is made from a catalpa tree
that was planted 20 years ago at OLA
the by Captain Diehl. He had three
of the gaveIs made. One he gave to the
State Historical assOcia ton, one to the
society here, a-ld the other he retained

TUNNEL UNDER EASTRIvER
Plan for the Building of a Railroad
From New York to Long Island.

Albany. N. Y, March Ex-senator
Wray introduced two bills Saturday to
make possible the carrying out of the
big rapid transit scheme of the Long
Island railroad.
Last year a bill was passed requiring
the railroad to put its tracks on Allan
tic avenue, Brooklyn, underground. The
railroad succeeded in securing the in
sertion of a prOviso that this should be
done only when it had secured the right
to build a tunnel under the East river.
One of Senator Ways bills amends the
charter so that the municipal assembly
may grant in perpetuity the franchise
for such a tunnel
The plan of the railroad cOntemplates
a tunnel under the East river from the
terminus of the Atlantic avenue road to
a point near Maiden lane, New York
and an underground railroad from there
up to the west side at least as far as
FOrty-SecOnd street.
The whole system would connect with
the other lines of the company and pro-
vide direct transportation from Forty
second street through Brooklyn to Mon
tauk Point. It is said that the railroad
stands ready to devote s., OOO, 900 to car
rying out the plan.
