grounds.
Mrs. Valentine died suddenly on FRI
day hast from heart disease at her
country home, in Storrs. Conn.
The divorce suIt which Mrs. Valen-
tine brought against her husband was a
ereat surprise TO the arstocratic circle
or Heights society. in. which the vafen-
tine f1HHly was prominent, although a
few sof her intimate friends knew that
she hsa long contemplated such a step
IL also became known at the time
that Mr.. Valentine had lived apart
from his family for several years. hav-
ing a home in Woodbury. l.. 1.
Mr.. Valentine, who is a lawyer. was
his own counsel in the suit, and on the
ground that he was not prepared he
had the case postponed. 1t was still
pending wfren Mrs Valentine died
One cause OF the difficulty between
the couple was money matters. arr
Mrs. Lalantins- in har- -slit- asked -faE-a
acco1ntkpg of $4,000 OF her money
which was I'm her husbands funds. She
required this she said. as an act OF JUS
pice 20 herself and her children.

WILL PARADE HERE.
26th Regiment, U. S. Volunteers,
Will Visit This City.
Request Made by Governor Dyer Granted
by the War Department

II is decided that the 26th Regiment.
United States Volunteers. Will make a
parade in Providence, orders having
been received TO that effect from Adjt
Gen. Corbin. and the regiment will
come to this city in about two weeks.
AS large number of the men were re-
cruited from this section and several
officers from Rhode Island are in the
command a great ovation will doubt
less be given the soldiers Among the
commissioned officers are Mai Frank A.
Cook and capt. Alvin A. Barker, and
on the non commissioned staff, both
regimental and company there are
many enlisted men who are also from
Rhode Island, and who served with the
First Rhode Island Volunteers
Gov. Dyer requested the war depart
ment 20 allow the regiment to parade
here. and a dispatch has been received
by Adjutant Gen. Sackett announcing
a favorable reply upon the part of the
department. the dispatch coming from
the commanding officer Of the regiment,
Col. Rice. IL is understood that the re-
quest of Boston was considered at the
same time that the suggestion that the
command parade in Providence was re-
ceived. The adjutant general considered
both requests and referred them TO Col.
Rice for his consideration. IL received
his Endorsement. As soon as this had
been accomplished the announcement
was made by the war department that
orders had been sent 10 Col. Rice TO the
effect that the 26th would be sent 10
San Francisco by the way OF Boston.
Mass, and Providence, II. 1.
Arrangements will undoubtedly be
made to give the regiment a royal well
come. and Gov. Dyer. on his return 70
the city. will arrange matters with
Gen. Sackett with that end i'm view.
