The retiring officials of the Hudson

Beauty.

The idea that a compliment TO a wo-
man on her beauty is vulgar is a very
silly idea. writes Mr.. G.. S. Street in the
compliment may be vulgarly phrased.
as may be anything else, of course
Our ancestors. with their anything
from so fair a hand" sort OF conversa-
ton, overdid IL, no doubt; they over
did everything, the dear. warm blooded
people. But thu is no reason why we
all, who would not be thought under
bred and offensive, should have TO pre-
tend not TO notice whether a woman is
beautiful or not. on the other hand,
the ignoring argues a lack of sense
for the kind things OF life. and on the
other it implies an overestimate of
them: for deliberately to ignore any
human quality is mysteriously 10 in
crease its Importance. Now, to be
CONSCIOUS or a WomaH-s beauty is not
all necessarily to rate ito higher than
brains or goodness, whereas to ignore
IL altogether comes of a canting. quasi
Purtanic notion that beauty, being a
mere accident, must never be allowed
to- be a cause OF pride. What nom
sense that is. Intellect is an acci-
dent, muscle is an accident and. at the
risk of heresy. / say that goodness is
an accident also. Ali these things are
accidents as much as beauty, but who
objects to a reference TO cleverness and
strength and good work? To many of
us the sight of a beautiful form is as
comforting and stimulating to the
pulse of life as the hearing of an epi-
gram, or even the report of a charity.
Then why should we not be grateful
10 the possessor of it? ana why, If due
OCCASION arise, and rightness Of speech

Delightful Weather Of Yesterday Drew eIg Crowds
10 Crescent Park and fields FONT

Yesterday was a delightful one for a
visit to the shore resorts that are open,
and Crescent Park received, as usual,
very large patronage. and those who
visited the "Coney Island of the East"
were not disappointed. for they wit
messed the ascension OF the balloon
which exploded on Memorial day and
disappointed those who had expected
20 see a successful aerial voyage. Both
the balloon ascension and the parachute
drop were successfully made yesterday
afternoon. and the people were happy.
one of the most delightful features Of
the day was the music by the Banda
Napoli, under the direction OF Maestro
Giulio Capone, while the Rhode Island
Ladies orchestra also did some excel
lent work. The dinners served by Mr..
Boyden were, as usual, of the very best
and an immense crowd was fed. The
chutes were in operation and were we'll
pdtr0rtZed, Hnd Ittugether IL was a
great day at Crescent PARK.
At Fields Point the attendance was
very large, but Cal. Atwell was equal
I othe occasion and the dinners served
were just as good as can be procured
anywhere on the bay. In fact, year
after year the Fields Point bakes are
increasing in popularity. and no matter
how large the attendance everybody
receives the best of attention, and there
is no crush. 1t was the biggest day yet
for Col Atwell. during the present sea-
son and everybody went away satisfied.

JUMPED THE TRACK.
Three Women Painfully Hurt In Trol-
Icy Car Accident.
When Car Struck Curling They Were
Thrown Into Street by Shock.

Three women were quite painfully in
jured by an electric car leaving the
rails on the John street section OF the
Pawtucket Street Railway company
yesterday noon. The car was going to-
wards Lonsdale old village and turned
from Broad street into John street and
went down the hill under brakes and
with the power turned off and at the
usual supposed safe rate OF speed.
The car went safely until VI struck the
curve when II went straight across the
tracks, dhe fender bringing up against
the curbing on the south side OF the
street. The sudden shock threw some
OF the passengers into the street and
these were Mrs. McCluskey an agez
woman: Mrs. James McConyille and
Mrs. Mary Carlin, and they were the
only ones who were at all seriously
hurt. After the other passengers had
recovered from their panic they went
20 the assistance of the three women,
as did DR.. 7. j. Smith. who was driving
across John street bridge at the mo-
ment OF the accident. The injuries TO
Mrs. McCluskey consist OF severe bruis-
es 10 the ribs of the right side, a con-
tusion OF the nose and severe shock.
Mrs. McConville receive cut on the
shoulder. Mrs. Carlin sustained "A dis
location OF the right shoulder, and
severe shaking up.
DIR. Smith says that none OF the in
juries will, in all probability. prove fa-
tai. All that the people in the car can
say about the accident is that the car
left the tracks suddenly and they were
thrown out.

SEARCH FOR WOMAN REVEALED FACT.

Grand Forks, n. D., June 5.-The
last chapter of a divorce suit which
began in this State three months ago
had more peculiar circumstances than
any case that has so far entered the
borders Of the State. Three months
ago William de Wilde, who is well
known in railroad circles in New
York. and who is now connected with
the New York Central, came TO this
State with the express purpose of es-
tablishing a residence preparatory To
securing divorce.
According to the law at that time
he would have to reside here for a
period OF ninety days before any ac-
ton could be taken. Before these
proceedings could be put under way
the whereabouts of his former wife.
Adelaide DE Wilde, must be ascer-
tained, and with this end in view he
secured the services OF an attorney,
Ledru Guthrie who at once instigated
diligent inquiry for the missing Mrs.
de Wilde.
He interrogated his client as 10 the
last time that he had seen his wife.
and was told that she had left her
husband during one OF their western
trips. and that he had not seen or
heard OF her since. He had not
thought of her In years. and probably
would have never known OF her resi-
dence had he not contemplated a sec
ond marriage. He admitted that his
wife had informed him of her inten-
tion TO desert him.
Ii seems that during their last west
ern tour Mrs de Wilde had become in
fatuated with a wealthy ranchman by
the name of George Sawyer. and had
the -yearfs95- -retaiAedEthe- services
OF Judge Samuel II. Corn, who is at
present on the Supreme Bench in the
State of Utah. TO secure her a divorce
from De Wilde. This he succeeded in
doing on the 4th day OF June in the
same year. at Evanston, Wyoming.
The first answer TO the many inquir-
les stated that she was now living at
Castle Gate. Utah, and had. upon be-
ing interviewed i'm regard to the mat
ter denied the existence OF divorce
and that she had remarked. thinking
her husband dead. In a second let
ter she admitted the existence of
decree of divorce and her subsequent
marriage to her second and present
husband. Sawyer.
Two hours after the ninety days
that passed these facts were made
