DIVORCED MEN FORM A CLUB
Men Who Have Found Marriage q
Dismal Failure Form
q Society.

Alameda, the pretty suburb of San
Francisco, lying just across the bay, has
Q unique organization called "The Di-
vorced Mems club" composed entirely
of men who have found marriage fail
ure. This organization has begun a cru
sade against matrimony, and it's men,
bers seek to save others from dangers
into which they fell. 1t numbers
among it's members some of the prom
inent men of the town.
Secretary Ward Battles said, when
asked about the club: "Yes, we have a
divorced mems club in Alameda, and we
have among our members some of the
best-known men of the city. We hold
regular meetings, at which we sympa-
thize with those who are married, and
congratulate ourselves on being free.
Aside from the sociability our object
is to impress upon mankind the dangers
OF matrimony, and to give those in
clined that way an opportunity to prof
it by our sad and narrowing expert
ences.
"Our experiences have been decidedly
varied. One mans wife did not want
him to smoke, and when he insisted
there was trouble which ended in sepa-
ration. My wife objected because I
made noise in the cellar with a lot
of tin cans. She thought it was a
burglar. She called that cruelty, and
applied to the court to get rid of me.
sour club is doing great deal of good
in preventing men from allowing their
love to get the better of their judg-
ment. Several men who thought of
getting married have been saved by our
missionaries, and we intend to push
the good work along"

HOUSE FIRED BY METEOR.
Peculiar Blaze on the Roof OF the
Residence of q Fond du
Lac Citizen.

Fire was started on the dwelling
place of John Waters in Fond du Lac,
Wis.,, at seven o'clock in the evening by
the falling of a meteor on the roof. AS
q couple of young men were passing
about Hoyt street they noticed lit
tie ball of fire descending toward them.
They waited and saw it alight on the
roof of the home of Mr.. Waters. Noti-
flying the family, a ladder was brought
into use, and search made, with the
result that the fire was eXtinguished.
The phenomenon easily takes its place
among the recorded incidents which
succeed storms. At such times at sea
sailors say balls Of electricity gently
descend from the atmosphere, and,
alighting upon the mast, drop into the
sea. On land these events are less fire.
quent, yet happen, often enough to keep
the interest of modern science engaged.
In Fond du Lac, in 1871. after the Chi
cago and Peshtigo fires, in October,
a bright ball descended upou barn
on Seventh street, poised an instant.
then descended, and killed two horses
standing in adjacent stalls.

a minute or two.

But there wasn't any Pete, only away
down the gully we could hear some one
tramping down the bushes and run
ming for all he was worth.
"We all rushed into the underbrush,
but it wasn't any place for horses; be-
sides, it was too dark to see much of
anything. That thief of Pete Lam
sing had run away from us in the first
place until his horse was shot, and then
he said he couldn't be hung anywhere
except on the pine hills, and then, all
the time pretending that he was anx-
ious for the credit of the camp, he had
prayed until it was too dark for us to
sec anything. He was nothing but a
hypocrite, and played it low down on
the boys who had always treated him
right and were trying to send him off
in good style. What became of him l
don't know and don't care. None of the
Diamond Center boys ever heard of him
again.

boys have wanted to get up lynching
