GRANTED A FIRST VERDICT.
Mrs. w. y. L. BnchIOr Partially Di-
vorced From Her Husband.

VOrced From Her husband
The divorce suit of Mrs.W. 2. L. Bachlor
against her husband was on trial In the
Superior Court yesterday. This was the
first time that the case had come on to
be heard and a first verdict was rendered
In favor of the plaintiff.
The petition of the plaintiff was filed
last February and the answer of the de-
fendant the following month. The plain
tiff charged that the defendant had con-
tinually ill-treated and abused her and
that he was in an almost continuous state
of intoxication. Various sensational
charges were made at the time the suit
was first contemplated and brought, but
some of them were abandoned before IL
reached trial
AS the case was tried before Judge Fat
ligont 4it was based on the statutory
grounds of cruelty and desertion merely.
The jury found from the evidence that IL
had been shown that they were author
lied to grant a verdict of divorce a vim
culo matrlmonn, which was done accord
ingly. BY the laws of the state it is re-
qured that there should be a second YER
dict before the divorce is complete.

Temperance Reform Which Has

SUBSTITUTE FOR SALOONS
Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The first society in America for ''practi-
cal temperance is now in full operation in
New York city. Its object is to supply
substitutes for saloons and intoxicants
1t is organized on the reasoning that the
most sensible way to get a man to give up
spending his evenings in bar room Is to
give him some lounging place that he will
like better. So with drinks. At present
We all find that it is convenient, cheap and
comfortable-though 1t may also be in
ebriating-to get drink of whisky, and the
church temperance society has undertaken
to see that it will be just as convenient and
cheap-if not quite so comforting-to get
drink of coffee. So far the plan has worked
well. The first step was taken some years
ago, when a lunch wagon was put in COM
mission. 1t cost 81, 600 and accommodates
a dozen people at once. Excellent coffee
and good food of all kinds, hot and cold,
are supplied at reasonable rates. So well
did it accomplish its purpose of tempting

concern paid q per cent dividend and did

out or many Localities in the city.
There seems to be no reason why this
record should not be made by practical
temperance societies in a score of Ameri-
can cities.
In birmingham, England, the town au-
tnorities tore down a block fun Of rookeries
and erected the now hourishing Golden
Temperance Hotel Besides this there are
seventeen coffee horses and two temperance
hotels In that city that are supported en-

are thriving. The Irish Temperance League
ana similar Irish organized ons have estab-
hshments in Belfast and Dublin whose sue
cess proves that the Irishman considers

boils away from liquid air 1t leaves behind
almost pure liquid oxygen Liquid oxygen
is most marvellous substance in the pro-
duction of rapid combustion. Mr.. THRILLER
places a little liquid oxygen in tumbler
made of ice, and then thrusts into 1t a steel
spring having at the end a lighted match.
The moment the steel strikes the oxygen
it burns like splinter of fat pine This
experiment shows q most astonishing range
of temperature. Here is steel burning at
g. 500 degrees above zero in an ice receptacle
containing liquid air at 312 degrees below
zero. In the same way. If liquid air is
thrown on wooden felt, which under or
binary circumstances will not burn at all,
it causes the felt. when ignited, to explode
and burn with all the violence of gun cot
ton. From the last named experiment Mr..
Tripler indicates the use to which liquid
air may be placed in making explosives,
The tremendous expansive power of
liquid air, which Is about one hundred times
that of steam, gives a convincing idea of
the wonderful uses to which the substance
may be placed for producing power for
running all kinds of machinery. Moreover,
liquid air boils and produces expansive
vapor at the ordinary temperature of the
atmosphere requiring no coal or other sub
stance for generating heat.

KEPT HIS TOBACCO
Fifteen Years to Acquire the Proper
Flavor for Use.

Flavor for Use.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
'Apropos of heavy black tobacco" re-
marked another dealer who mad dropped in
for chat. Il used to have a number of
customers who smoked cigarettes made of
straight perique. Some few remain, but
could count them on one hand. and the
habit is, so to speak, extinct. / doubt
whether it was as injurious to the health
as some have claimed, and had a pretty
good opportunity to watch it's effects. For
over twenty years I have sold tobacco to
one Of the most confirmed and enthusiast site
pertque smokers in New Orleans. He was
past middle age when he first came to my
shop. and is still hale and vigorous, his
eyes as bright as birds and his hand as
steady as rock. He buys his tobacco In
bulk, afterward cutting it to suit himself,
and like a number of other old-time
smokers. he can detect exquisitely slight
differences In flavor among lot of rolls or
carrots. 1t is very interesting to see him
pick out supply for private ripening,
something he attends to at intervals, just
as one might keep up a wine cellar He
proceeds on the theory. believe that the
leaf is at its best between IL and Is years
after having been put away. and has each
roll carefully dated. SO as to enable him to
consume perique Of approximately that date
from season to season. As 1t ages the
tobacco assumes beautiful deem black
brown. and doesn't resemble ordinary to-
bacco at all. This particular old pentIe-
man l have in mind has shown me pieces
that looked like mineral. and other pieces
that looked like ebony. He moistens them
with dash Of sherry and water, whites
of what he wants with a penknife, rolls
1t up with quick turn of the wrist and
walks away putting a cloud of smoke that
would lift the average young ciubman clear
off his feet. As 1 remarked before, how

Timing a Railway Train.

From the Chicago lnter-OceAn.
Not one person in a hundred who travels
has any idea of the speed of train, and
even a large percentage of the regular
trainmen cannot tell with any degree of
accuracy. Engineers use their driving
wheel as a gauge. They know it's circum-
ference, and by counting its revolutions
within a certain time can tell very ac-
curately the speed at which they are run
ming.
A favorite method OF timing among pas
sengers is TO count the telegraph poles AS
a rule these poles are planted thirty to the
mile but in prairie countries, where only
single wire is used, the number diminishes
to twenty-five, so that rule will not always
work The most accurate method, and the
most in use by experienced railroad men
is to count the number of rail joints the
train passes over in twenty seconds The
rails ON nearly all roads are thirty feet In
length, and the number passed over In
twenty seconds is the speed per hour a
train is running.
For instance, IL passenger can count
thirty clicks on rail joint in twenty sec
onds, the train lis running at a speed of
thirty miles an hour. Actually, this method
falls little short, as In the example given
above the speed would be nearer thirty lone
than thirty miles. but Il Is near enough for
all practical purposes.

A Curious Bridge.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American
There has recently been completed at
Mans, France. bridge which is most curl
Gus. from a technical point of view, and
remarkable from an artistic point of view.
In the town of Mans an electric tramway
had been constructed which was to run
across the river at certain point The
steam railway of Saint-Denis-d ARGUES. in
operation since 1888, crossed the river at
the same point. If the two roads crossed
on land two bridges would be required. The
old railway bridge could not be used as 1t
was already worn out by long service II
was. therefore, decided to BALD a single
bridge with two branches, thus leaving pa s.
sages for the railway and the tramway.
The structure, as a result, Is X-shaped
and the two roads cross each other in mid
stream. By reason of this peculiar struc-
ture a saving of 1000 francs was effected
"a very considerable sum, when it is con-
sidered that two bridges would have cost
45,000 francs.
