A QUESTION OF DOMICILE.
important Point Involved 10 The Divorce Case Of
Mrs. Camshor Against Her Husband.

There are some peculiar circum-
stances regarding Mrs. Lena Camel
hor's request of the Appellate Court
for a divorce which was heard by Chief
Justice Matteson and Justices Stlness
and Tillnghast this morning. Abra-
ham Camelhor, the husband of the petit
TONER, filed a petition for a divorce
against her some time ago and Mrs.
Camelhor filed a cross petition i'm which
she charged her husband with having
failed To support and also with having
deserted her. Mr.. Camelhor did not
push his case. and today Mr.. Tower OF
the law firm of Ballou & Tower wanted
a hearing on the wife's cross petition,
saying he had told Mr.. Camelhor that
the case must be heard. Neither Mr..
Camelhor or his counsel were i'm court.
Mrs. Camelhor testified that after
her husband married her i'm New York
In 1894 he deserted her and came To
this city TO live with his parents. and
after two years she followed him here.
but he refused to support her. and her
counsel and she had conference with
the overseer of the poor. and her hus-
band took her to "A boarding house. and
then after three weeks left her again
without support, and she had to go
back to New York and work for her
own living. She had established good
reputation for herself as worker on fur
goods; but the question now is whether
she retained her domicile in this state
and If ii is in the power of the court
To grant her divorce. The court has
decided that even If n husband should
bring "a suit for divorce here. his wife
could not succeed in a cross bill If she
has not domicile in this state.
Mr.. Tower testified he knew of the
circumstances under which Mrs. Camel
hor came TO this state, and that she
intended 10 make her domicile here
He also said that the only objection
Mr. Camelhor had to his wife was that
his family wanted him To marry some
one else. The court took the matter for
adViSement

Many frenchmen VIM Not Accept Any Proof
Of the Captains Innocence.
DREYFUSARDS ARE MUCH TO BLAME.
A Minority Has kacs Tho Agitation an Excuse For
Cnslaugh.s on Scms Of The katon's RoaOrsd
Institutions A Sinister Prediction.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The most ardent sup
porters Of the theory that Dreyfus was
untustly condemned now admit that
there is no longer the least hope that
justice will be done. \ prominent
member of the University of Paris,
who, from the first, has been milit-
ant champion OF "a revision Of the trial,
says:
For ninety-nine out of hundred
Frenchmen the guilt or innocence OF
Dreyfus is a matter OF sentiment. All
the reasoning in the world would lot
induce them TO change their attitude
There are millions OF Frenchmen who
VIII insist upon Dreyfus' guilt in sp. &c
OF any proof TO the contrary. A terri
bic feature Of the situation is that the
attitude of this majority is dictated by
motive which they believe 10 be deserV-
ing OF the highest respect. l admit
that some of the Dreyfusards are much
10 blame for this. The best cause may
be ruined by disreputabe adherents,
and there are men on the Dreyfus side
of whom every patriotic Frenchma1 is
the natural enemy. While the major
ity of us have been merely demanding
that justice should be done, pestiIcnt
minority has made this demand al eX-
cuse for virulent onslaught on institu-
tions we hold i'm great esteem"
In conclusion he predicted that the
result of the agitation will be an on
slaught of unparalleled violence on the
Jews as the masses are convinced that
they are at the bottom of the whole
trouble"

A HIGH SENSE OF HONOR.

Every business man should have as
component part of his capital a high
sense of honor. 1t is just as important
to the permanent success OF his business
as the sufficiency of legal tender, which
keeps his name satisfactorily rated in the
bulletins of the commercial agencies.
Make promises reluctantly, if you will,
but once made, live up to them to the let
ter. II you make promises voluntarily,
be very sure you keep them vigorously
for the reason that as no one urged you to
make them you have no logical ground
for excuse il you allow them to lapse,
either partially or completely. Perhaps
tEis not too much to say that of all the
callings in the world In none is a high
sense of honor and business integr ity
more than In dentistry. AS practised
by many to day, more especially in
metropolitan centers, but to a greater or
less degree in smaller places also, the
public are imposed upon in the most
shameful manner. The charlatan can
smoothly make promises he intends to
ignore, can misrepresent the qualities Of
his materials, and the public sutherland
suffers alone. The charlatan does not
suffer. He gets good price usually for
the poorest kind of work. The reputa-
BILE dentist loses nothing in the end for
the victims sooner or later get tired of
being imposed upon and call upon q
practitioner of character, who has a
reputation to maintain, and who know &
it would be the height of folly for him
to allow Misrepresentation of any kir d
to emanate from his office. So it is well
to bear in mind when dental work Is
needed the fact that dentist should be
consulted upon whose work had stood
| the test Of time, and the corner stone OF
whose success is high sense of honor
combined with experience and artistic
and practical ability. For II years the
| Boston Painless Dentists, APO Main street,
Bridgeport, have been builiing a reputa.
ton along these lines and their immense
business demonstrates with emphatic
force the fact that the policy il paying

they will not do any other kind. o wing

meet them on the common ground of a
certain quality for a'certain price. They
make no charge for consultation, exami
