Says He Is Homely.
New York World: Mrs. Jennie Gold.
farb has given a novel excuse for re-
fusing to live with her husband Sam
uel. She says that he is too homely
for any woman TO live with. Goldfarb
who is a philosopher, admits that he
is not an Apollo, but he also insists
that his wife has never been known
as a professional beauty. The Gold
farbs have had a good deal OF trouble
since they were married in 1890. 1t
took Mrs. Goldfarb but a short time to
discover that her husband did not
come up to her standard OF manly
beauty, and she began to make things
uncomfortable for him. Occasionally
she went back to her mother. At an
other time Samuel in despair ZEN her
to Europe, hoping that when she re-
turned he would find favor in her eyes.
But matters were still worse when she
came back. and, according to a num-
Der OF a%fidavits, in the possession OF
former Judge H. w. Leonard, Gold
farb's counsel, she positively refused
to live with him at all. Goddard In
the meantime had spent a small for
tune on complexion beautifers, hair
restorers and other toilet Injuries. He
became a Berry Wall in his dress. But
his wife remained obdurate. and final
ly, a short time ago, charged him be-
fore Magistrate Hogan with desertion.

gave a bond and was released. He at
once sued for a separation, and for

A wild panic seized the court circles

September Atlantic. Alexander Ill,

geous mar, refused to move to the Win

which opens on a lake. All the palaces
Of Paul had been built on a similar
plan. An underground gallery was dug
round the AnichOff palace of Alexander
Ill, and was supplied with automatic
electric appliances to protect it from
being undermined by the revolution
lists. A secret league for the protection
of the car was started. Officers OF all
grades were induced to undertake VOL
untary spying in all classes of society.
Comical scenes followed, of course.

shape, under the name of Okhrana
(Protection), and from time to time
frightens the present car with all sorts
of concocted dangers" in order to
maintain its existence. A still
secret organization, the Holy League,
was formed at the same time, under

pointed by the league to carry out this
particular work. Skobeleff. the hero
OF the Turkish war, was asked to join
