William ]. Quinlan for maintenance and
support. the defendant, who is an officer
on the Metropolitan Police Force. of this
city, yesterday. through his attorneys,
Messrs. Tallmadge A. and Wilton J. Lam
bert. filed an answer to the original pc
tition.
The defendant admits that they are man
and wife. and that they lived together un-
til November last, but says that for some
time prior 10 that date complainant had
been behaving in what he considered an
improper manner with men. and that upon
one occasion he surprised her suddenly
when with one of the roomers in the house,
Mr.. Daley. in what he considered an
improper position; he charges that after
this his attempts to discover her behavior
were bafhed by reason of her facility for
finding out the hours which he was on
duty; that she treated him in a very insult
ing manner and refused to provide his
meals for him, and that she further was
accustomed to squander money given her
for household purposes for her own per-
sonal enjoyment.
The defendant denies that he ever de-
serted complainant, and alleged that on the
2Sth day of November she wilfully deserted
him; and he further asserts that the COM
plaiuant is possessed of valuable real es-
tate interests as well as being able 10
earn about $50 per month as an expert
dressmaker. in consideration OF which hs
prays that the bill may be dismissed.

checking system Applied to Babe.

In some of the New York depart
ment stores babies can be checked
like SO many umbrellas, while their
mothers pursue the elusive bargain
from counter to counter. A small boy
is detailed to stand guard over GER
tain number of infants. The small
boys and the infants have not been
asked for an opinion, but the mothers
are enthusiastic in their approval. In
Brooklyn the checking system, as APP
piled to babies, has appeared in .
new form. Brooklyn being recognized
as the City Of Churches, the new de-
velopment is along the ecclesiastical
line. Rev. DIR. Wiley Of the Nos
trand Avenue M. E. church is the
originator of the scheme, and the
mothers are once more the gamers.
A large room has been fitted up with
hammocks and cribs, perambulators
and toys. Here volunteer commit
tee of young women assemblies every
Sunday morning, and here the moth
ers, who would otherwise be kept at
home, leave their babies, while they
themselves attend the regular church
service. The plan is novel one, but
promises and deserves to be popular.

CHILEAN Indian Marriage Customs.

The Indians of Chile have queer
customs of love and marriage. A
father always expects to get certain
price for his daughter, in the shape of
cattle, sheep, horses or other presents,
and the deal is made beforehand, the
groom paying as little as he can. The
young man then comes with his friends
to the house of his to-be-father-in-law
and kidnaps his bride. A dark night
is usually selected, but the time is
often known and the girl has her fe-
male friends with her fer the occa-
sion. 1t is matter of wedding ETH
quette that she should fight against
being married, and all the females and
women of the family join with her in
repelling the groom. The friends of
the groom help him and there is a
lively skirmish in the BRIDES home,
which ends in her being dragged out
by her future husband. He swings
her onto his horse and goes off on tho
gallop, making for the nearest wood.
The women pursue, but the groom, Of
course, soou distances them. Having
reached the forest he takes his lady
love with him into it's recesses and
there spends the honeymoon. This
lasts but few days, when the two
return to the house of the groom and
are considered married. Then the
husband takes the presents, as he had
agreed, to the father of his wife and
the ceremony is over. If later on the
husband wishes to divorce he may,
under certain conditions, send back
his wife to her father, and if she
proves unfaithful to him he has the
right to kill her. If she deserts him
and goes back home of her own accord
nothing is said, but if she should
marry again the second husband must
reimburse the first ons for the price
he originally paid to her father for
her. Journal.

Different Point Of view.


'sDoes physiognomy amount to
anything or doesn't it?" On recent
bright day girl nature-lover came
whirling in on her wheel from one of
our beautiful country roads, laden
with masses of golden rod; golden rod
on her hat, in her belt, and bower of
golden rod borne before her on her
wheel. Whizzing along-the happi-
ness of lovely afternoon in her face,
she caught sight of pathetic face at
a gate; it was that of hard working
woman whom she knew-a seamstress.
The woman seemed to eye her visit
fully as she passed and hastily bowed;
so she turned her wheel, went back
and alighted at the curbstone. Here
was a chance to share the beauty of
this bright autumn day with another
nature-lover whose fate was harder;
perhaps the woman had been farm
er's daughter, and in her city home
pined for her old, free life, nearer to
natures heart. Perhaps the golden
rod awoke in her heart some long
silent, tender sentiment-whok knows?
''How do you do, Mrs. Stebbins?"
said the girl. ''Isn't this q glorious
day? It was too nice to waste in
town, so I've been out in the coun-
try. Don't you want big bunch Of
this golden rod? I saw you looking
at it as If you liked it?"
Golden rod?" repeated the pathe-
tic-faced woman curiously; golden
rod? never seen any O. this yere
stuff before-is it yarb? What is it
good ?"-Detroit Free Press.

humbly solicited . bite. The young
woman could not Withstand the petit

waiting vagrant two slices of board

many days earlier. As she presented
her bounty she felt just q triHe

in gantle tones of genuine sympathy.

Grasping Swiss Hotel Men.

There are few things more annoying
to travellers in Switzerland than the OBJ
structions and tolls imposed by grasp
ing landlords. 1t is gratifying, there
TO e, to know that at the annual dinner
of the Berne section OF the Swiss Alpine
Club, a few days ago, Electromagnetic
Won Steigeo complimented the club up
on its success in liberating the beauties
of nature in the Overland from the ex-
propriating landlord.
The Landlord" in Switzerland, 1t need
hardly be said, does not stand for the
landowner; who has there no power. as
he has among US, of prohibiting access
to mountains" 1t means the great
speculative hotel keeper, the Gessler Of
the modern Swiss.
The government of Berne, thanks to
the Alpine Club. has at last interfered
with the rights" of several of these
private SPECTATORS. The "Wirth" who
erected q little house in front Of the
Handeck falls and demanded an indem-
MITIGATION, not only for meat and drink,
but for the favor of having the peep
door opened, has been ordered to open
the door gratuitously henceforward.
The impropriator who set up Tyn-
dallite screen OF boards to intercept the
free view of the Upper Reichenbach
Fall has also been commanded to take
down his shutters.
The concession granted to the owner
of the Hotel Wetterhorn has also been
withdrawn, and the right of way to the
Upper Grindelwald glacier is declared
to be free for all tourists. The charge
for entering the ice grotto, however, as
it Is not work of Nature, is allowed to
continue.-W estminster Gazette.

The Bible in London Schools.

There is an interesting discussion on
lust now in the London SchoJl Board
upon the instruction that shall be given
in religion and morals. One point has
been decided thus far. The religious
exercises are not to be limited to a
simple reading of the Bible, but the
teachers are to make such explanation
and comment as they think necessary
without infringing upon any creed or
sect. In other words, the matter is left
almost entirely to the judgment Of the
individual teachers. The next point to
be met is whether the teacher shall
impress upon the pupils the moral dan
gers Of wishing to be rich, or leading a
life Of luxury, OF intemperance, and OF
wickedness in its various forms. Judg-
ing from the discussions which the mat
ter is arousing the members of the
board feel themselves in a kind of
Sebornian fog.

HE HAS KILLED 5000 DOCS.
Charleston's Executioner II Hardened,
but He Let One Dog Go.

Charleston's Executioner II Hardened,
but He Let One Dog Go.
The Charleston Is. o. dog killer
was telling his story the other day.
The man who was assigned to slaugA-
ter all the stray dogs that drifted to
the pound was member of the police
force, and he says his record has
passed the six thousand mark. To
kill six thousand dogs in the course
of an ordinary run of work is not .
record to be made easily, and the
killer thinks that he has the longest
list to his credit in the country.
ST have always killed the dogs with
. parlor rife," said the official execu-
toner tor canine prisoners, "and
owing to the fact that am considered
a good shot I have had the bad luck
to get the detail a great many more
times than I would have liked. Many
time have gone to the pound and
found forty or fifty dogs waiting there
to be shot, and the minute I would
enter they would seem to know my
mission and try to avoid me. al
ways used small rife, and it was
therefore necessary to hit the dogs
square in the brain in order to kill
them quickly and with as little pain
as possible. would have to whistle
to the prisoners to look at me so I
could get a fair aim. Well, they
would understand what I wanted so
we'll that they would turn and hang
their heads against the wall. Many
time have left the pen sick ct heart
with myself and my job.
''The most disagreeable experience
I ever had was with little black and
tan terrier. There were forty-fivs
dogs in the pen one morning when 1
went in, and half an hour later not one
was on his feet. It was customary
for US to go about and kick the dogs
after they had been shot to see if they
were dead, and 1 was doing this when
the little terrier jumped up and made
a break for liberty. He had been
possuming, but he was the deadest-
looking dog ever saw until kicked
him. When the terrier got to the
gate and found it locked he made q
dash around the circle, whining pitt
fully, and my heart failed me.
''The fact is I would have lost my
job before L would have shot that
little dog, and as he came around
again called to the gatekeeper and
we let him out. He few down the
street when he was free from the
pound. That happened while Cap
tain Golden was chief, and I knew
he was strict about such matters, SO /
felt uneasy about letting the dog go.
When 1 told him of it, however, he
said he would have discharged me had
I killed the terrier"
All tie stray dogs found in the
streets of Charleston are sent to the
pound, and if the owners do not pay
fine and claim the property the
police executioner is called out. =
