A CRUEL HUSBAND.
The Ground On Which tho Young Wife
Sought Il Divorce.

She was a silly young thing and
shouldn't. have been married for ten
years yet, nut she had, and when she
had settled down to the everydnyness
of welded life she was disillusionized,
Mt least temporarily, a y the Detroit
Free Press. Her husband was no lon
ger her hero and tie dark clouds of
doubt gathesed thick in her sky--so
:.hick at last that she consulted IN at
torney in the matter of bringing u suit
for divorce. She should have gone 10
her mother, but she didn't; she went to
the attorney.
IL have come to see you about bring
ing a suit for divorce" she said, COM
ing straight down to the business in
hand.
"Blcss nc" exclaimed the lawyer, a
fatherly old fellow. "you arc too young
TO be getting a divorce"
sI'vc been married six months, sir"
she said h~aughtiiy, "and youth can suf-
fer as we'll us age. l know what it is,
sir, to bear the burden OF. care and
doubt, to wait and watch, sir, aud to
feel the agony that wives are subjected
to by unfeeling husbands" and she sob
bed convulsivcly.
well, well,n said the attorney sooth-
ingli, don't talk about it, my dear
child. On what grounds do you wish
the suit brought?"
"For cruelty sir--cruelty," and her
face grew hard.
Cruel to you" exclaimed the old fell
low admiringly for she was extremely
pretty.
Yes, sir" she sobbcd.
And in what did the cruelty consist,
my dear?"
"Why-why. sir" she sobbed afresh.
4he doesn't call me Birdie any moro
as he did when wo were first married.
And the kind old lawyer broke down
completely.

~vonezuelan Award Arrived At After .
Decision seemed Impossible.
PARIS, Oct. ga representative Of
the Associated Press had a conversation
with Justice Brewer of the United
States supreme court regarding the
award of the Anglo Venezuelan arbi.
tration tribunal, from which it appears
that the deliberations Of the court did
not proceed as smoothly and with the
spontaneous unanimity which the an.
nouncement of the award would lead
n to believe. Justice Brewer, in re.
ply to a question, said:
Until the last moment l believed a
decision would be quite impossible and
it was by the greatest Cancellation and
mutual concessions that a compromise
was arrived at. If any of US had been
asked to give an award each n would
have given n
Differing in Extent and Character.
The consequence Of this was that WI
had to adjust our different views and
finally to draw a line running between
what each thought was right"
Being asked whether political consid,
erations influenced the award, the jus
tice said he could not admit that, a.
such an admission would reflect upon
the judges, but there was no doubt tina,
the present instruction in Venezuela
and the constant feeling Of instability
weighed to a considerable extent in tn,
balance.
Asked whether, according to his ow,
opinion, Venezuela was entitled to NOR,
than she actually received, Justic,
Brewer, after some hesitation, shrugged
his shoulders and said he would rather
say nothing on that subject.

SOME WILD RCMORS.

AL Sorts Of News Comes From Various
sections of south Africa.
LONDON, Oct. 6.-The Daily Tele.
graph publishes in its second edition a
dispatch from Newcastle, Natal, dated
Wednesday, announcing that the Boer
advance began Wednesday with a
double movement of artillery. The
dispatch says:
The Boer advance began today with
q general movement of artillery. The
Beers are occupying Laings Mex,
nightly, and now hold the mountains
to the southwest of Volksrust.
"There are no British troops nearer
than Ladysmith and preparations are
being made to abandon Natal from the
frontier to Glencoe De.
The inhabitants of Newcastle met
and decided not to attempt to defend
the town in the event of a Boer ad.
vance in force. General Symons is pre-
pared to evacuate within "a hours.
The people are crowding the trains
for Ladysmith."
Still . Glimpse Of Hope.
Although the news from South Africa
10 Enthusiastically grave, the advocates of
peace still derive a glimpse of hope
from some of the dispatches that the
stage Of negotiation is no fully termi-
mated. The news is contradictory. Side
by side with the announcement that
the Beers have occupied Laings Mex
is printed a dispatch from Pretoria
stating that the Transvaal government,
has issued strict injunctions to the
commandments that British territory
must not be invaded, and that Com.
mandant General Joubert has issued a
proclamation threatening to shoot any
man who crosses the border. Scarcely
had the advocates of peace exchanged
congratulation over the announcement,
from Pretoria that j. H. Hofmier, the
Afrikander leader, and W.P. Schreiner
the Cape premier, had undertaken q
joint semi-oficial peace mission anC
had actually started for Pretoria
where they ought to have arrived on
Wednesday evening, when later mes
sages from the Transvaal capital came
which declared that the Boer govern.
ment knew nothing Of this alleged mis-.
sion, and that in any event, nothing
could preserve peace but the with.
drawal of the British demands.
No Notion Of RscsdinR.
While 1t is not necessary to accept al,
these sensational statements regarding
the advance of the Beers, there is not
jot of evidence going to show that the
burghers contemplate receding.
Up to 2 o'clock nothing had arrived
to confirm the dispatch from Newcastle
to The Daily Telegraph announcing
that a general advance of the Boel
forces began Wednesday. The war of.
fee and the colonial Office profess entire
ignorance in the matter, but this is in
with the attitude towards
the press.
Another Newcastle special, forwarded
later than that to The Daily Telegraph
c~ontradicts the first and declares that
all was quiet OF the border Wednesday
evening. and there was III sign Of a
Boer advance.
The next news regarding this alleged
invasion of Natal is awaited with anx-
ious interere,t. The statement in The
Daily Telegraph special that there were
no British troops nearer Newcastle than
those at Laays,nilh is obviously All
error, as 1900 British troops are en-
camped at Dundee.
