DIVORCE DECISION.
North Dakota Will Not Encourage
 Matrimonial Refugees.

Bismarck, N. D.. Nov. 29.-The state supreme court in it's decision just handed down in Graham vs. Graham, strikes another hard blow at the di vorce industry. It holds that residence in the state must be bona fide and characterized by the intention to stay to give the litigant the benefit of the state laws. Those who come to the state with the express purpose of se- curing divorces do not acquire resi- dence. While the last legislature in creased the period of residence from ninety days to a year, this decision will affect the status of many divorces granted by lower courts prior to the go- ing into effect of the new law.

UNDER TROLLEY CAR ABLAzE

New York, Nov. 29.-A block was caused on the Eighth avenue trolley line last night by the fuse of car 11O7 burning out. The car was loaded with passengers, and when, at 116th street, the flames burst out on the car, the passengers left it in a hurry. A fire alarm was sent in and two streams of water were soon playing on the car. The fire was extinguished after the car had been damaged to the extent of $500. The road was blocked from Seventy second street to 116th street.

not sought out and a considerable ser vice has in this way been performed for nothing.
 The new company does not expect to immediately enter into the enjoyment of an affiuent income, but will devote their energies for a few months, to the work of first finding out just what they have got, and who their patrons are. and then in making needed re- pairs and extensions. It is believed there are various useless flush pipes now in connection and other important leakages which can be cut off to the material economy of the enterprise.
 The new management is not opposed to public improvement and the ar rangement is not a scheme to block the projected municipal ownership of the city water works. On the other hand one member at least, of the new firm is known to be in favor of public ownership.
 Their lease is drawn for three years, but there are protecting clauses based on the possible arising of conditions which would make a continuation of the enterprise a failure.
 In an interview with MT. Doyle, he stated that if the people voted for bonds and decided to construct a mu- nicipal system, it was but fair to sup pose that reasonable offers would be made for the existing plants, and if such action should occur. their lease protects both themselves and the own CTS. In the meantime they propose to go ahead with the work of improve ment in the hope of making the enter prise a success, as long as it lasts, be that time short or for an extended period.

SENTENCED TO YUMA
Work of the United States Court at
 Florence.

United States District Attorney Rob- ert Morrison arrived in Phoenix late
 yesterday afternoon from Florence and left on the evening train for Prescott.
 The United States court at Florence had an unusually large amount of work, and some important cases were disposed of. The defaulting treasurer
 of Pinal county. P. R. Brady, Jr was tried and convicted, and Judge Doan passed sentence after the district at torney left Florence. Ten persons ar
 rested for selling liquor to Indians were tried, and nine were sentenced to one years imprisonment in the penitentia-
 ry and a fine of $1OO, and one was sen fenced to two years and a fine of $2OO. The offenders were white men and
 Mexicans.
 The colored soldiers Of the Ninth cav airy who caused considerable trouble to the government at San Carlos a few months ago were tried, and a most re-
 markable combination of the figure
 thirteen was established It appears that there were thirteen troopers ar rested on the thirteenth day of October
 and thirteen witnesses testified against
 them before the grand jury. The thir- 1 teenth man arrested pleaded guilty, and it looked as though the fate of the others was sealed. In the trial the hoodo was broken by the discharge of ten of the troopers, and the other three
 were sentenced to a year each at Yuma. The three troopers who will go to Yuma
 were in Cuba during the late war. The
 trouble caused by the troopers very
 nearly resulted in an outbreak of the
 Apaches which might have proven dis
 astrouS to the settlers of the Gila val | ley.
 MT. Morrison said there were a large
 number of Apache Indians at Florence as witnesses against the troopers, and
 one night the people of that place were
 attracted to the camping place of the
 Indians by a devil dance" which was arranged by the warriors present. MT. | Morrison says that it was a re-
 markable physical test, and some of the Indians who participated in it were
 not able to appear in court the next i day. They were completely exhausted from the violent exercise. The specta- tors thoroughly enjoyed the dance and | it was witnessed by most everyone in the town.
 | When the news of viee-President Ho- bart's death reached Florence court
 was adjourned and on Sunday memo
 rial services were held at the court house. United States Marshal Grif-
 fiths presided and Judge Doane eulo-
 gized the life of the dead vice-president.
 The memorial address was delivered by MT. Morrison. The court room was decorated with fitting tribute by the ladies of the town. A large portrait of the vice-president was placed over the speakers table, wrapped in wreath of chrysanthemums through which was entwined border of crape. Tt was one of the prettiest meetings I ever attend ed,' said MT. Morrison at the Adams last night. "The court room was filled
 with people, and there was a choir made up of the best vocal talent of the place. Everyone seemed to take the death of the vice-president as a per
 sonal bereavement, and I doubt if there was held in the United States a more sincere memorial service over the death of MT. Hobart"

TRAINED NURSES.
Got Different from other Pretty Women
as to Flirting.

as to Flirting.
New York Tribune: The assertion
" DR.. s. r. Hallock, made before the
!lass in philanthropy at the Charities
building recently, that hospital nurses
ire more prone to flirting than attend
ing to their duties, has caused no end
sf comment among the members Of
ihe profession. An interview with one
Of the brightest Of the Presbyterian
Llumnae ELECTED the laughing response:
Il presume you will find nurses Just
ike all other women. Some will fllrt
Ind some won't. The DOMINIC OF cap
Ind apron doesn't change the nature of
/ woman. Some women are as prone
20 flirting as the sparks to fly upward,
and this without intent. When DR..
Hallock says, however, that flirting
with the doctors come first and taking
.are Of the patients se6ond,' I think
he is making an egregious mistake.
The personnel OF our Presbyterian
nurses-and I speak Of them because
| know them best-is remarkably fine.
There Is scarcely a probationer &C.
eepted there who is not college or at
least a high school graduate, and they
are all earnest, conscientious and re-
fined young women. I once heard a
woman say that she thought there
ought to be a board Of women exam
Iners to pass upon every young woman
who applies for a place as nurse, and
1t should vigorously exclude every one
who is pretty and attractive. Now,
isn't that arrant nonsense? Must an
earnest young woman, because dow
cred by nature with fair share OF
good looks, be considered ineligible for
the profession? l am quite free to say
that men, and usually women patients
as we'll, do prefer comely face to
bend over them while they are sick;
and I don't blame them in the least.
AS for the nurses marrying the doc
tors, that is not unnatural, II 'propin-
guilty as has been frequently stated,
Is at the foundation Of most matches.
That the poor, defenseless inferno
however, is always the quarry at
which every matrimonial bow Of the
Dianas Of the hospitals is drawn Is not
proved by DR.. Hallock's say so. At all
the high-grade hospitals the rigid dis
ripline forbids the sorties and ambus-
cades which the doctor seems to feel
are threatening the unwary inferno In
every ward. The nurses are women
but they are good women, self-respect"
Ing women, who hold the honor OF
their profession too highly to let 1t
become a byword through their &C.
TONS"

In the WililiamstoWn cemetery there
Is such a monument that has answered
Its purpose well, says the Williams
town, KY, Dispatch.
Twelve years ago a marble works
company made a proposition to W. G.
Cram, one OF the rich men Of Grant
county, to erect a monument in his
private lot, to be paid for at once,
but to pay interest at the rate OF 10
per cent upon the cost price to himself
as long as he should live. 1t was to
cost $500. The company"s terms were
accepted and the monument was built

Cram, together with his good deeds
Mr.. Cram is yet alive and bids fair tc
live many years more, though he has
passed the age of three-score-and-ten
and the monument has already paid
him in dividends $500 more than the
original cost of building. Last Thurs,
day, during windstorm, the shaft
was broken off fifteen feet from the
ground, but it will 5e repaired at the

STORAGE BATTERY.
As . Motor for Street Cars, Said to Save
Half the Expense.


Half the Expense.
New York Mail and Express: The
installation of the storage battery cars
will add a new motive power to the
diversified resources of a city which is
using steam engines, the cable, the I'M
derground trolley, compressed air and
horse power in the business of local
transportation. The storage battery,
however, is not a novelty to the me-
tropolis, for almost the first cars to
be manufactured were placed on the
old Madison avenue line more than a
dozen years ago by a Frenchman
named Julian. Half dozen ponder
Gus vehicles were kept running on the
horse-car tracks with some success for
about eight months, when adverse It'll
cation compelled their withdrawal.
Since then the storage battery has been
| perfected and elaborated in this city
| and applied to electric cabs. The OPP
Grafton Of the two storage-battery cars
upon the Grand street line has demon
strated the efficiency Of the system to
the satisfaction of the officers Of that
line. A report has been rendered upon
It by the secretary, based in part upon
the findings of the chief engineer OF
the electric company that supplied the
cars. The favorable results enumer'
ated were attained despite the fact that
the track is an old one and intended
| for lighter cars, and despite the fact
that the motors were designed for a
speed " sixteen miles an hour-and
not half that speed could obtain on
Grand street, the effect being a con-
siderable loss OF power. This will not
be the case with motors designed for a
lower rate Of speed. The two cars
were kept running for four weeks, ex'
Guiding Sundays, and covered in that
period 4,S29 miles. The secretary Of
the Grand street road estimates from
the cost or operating these Two cars
that if all the cars on the line had beer
Independent motors the cost Of oper'
ating them in the items relating ex'
clusively to traction for a given period
of nine months would have been $28,
600 less than what it actually cost tt
run them for that period, saving O
more than one-half. Again, the mum
Der Of cars could be reduced Is PEI
cent, because of the superior size ant
quicker schedules Of the storage-bat
terry cars. On this it was estimated
that saving of $4,000 more in plat

BEAUTIFUL OLD NARA.
rne Capital of Japan Ten Hundred
Years Ago.

Years Ago.
We went through Nara, a beautiful
Md town that was the capital OF Japan
! 900 years ago, but has now the droW-
sy quiet Of sleepy cathedral city, says
Travel. Every place in the world, like
every man and every woman, has an
individuality. And the Individuality
of Nara is like that Of beautifully
souled man who has grown old, yet
whom the cares of the world have new
ear troubled. and whose wrinkied
has ever serene smile.
That's Nara. Civilization has not
made It conventional and shoddy. The
tourist skips it in his rambles. 1t Is
old japan In loneliness. 1t was holy
day in the Shinto religion when we
were there, and every child born that
dav was counted a year older than
child born the day before or the next
day. Thousands Of pilgrims had come
70 visit the shrines. There were gaunt-
checked old men in Octagonal-shaped
hats and long gray silk robes hob
hing on their STATS from temple to
temple. Shaven-headed, yelloW-robed
Buddhist priests walked with solemn
mien through the silent avenues.
Punches of Japanese maidens, WIN
some to look upon, hobbled on tiny
clogs their arms about one another s
shoulders, The trees arched long
branches over the path, and from the
knee-deep bracken came jumping tho
deer. long-horned bucks and soft-eyed
does running unaffrighted and pushing
their nostrils into ones hand shifting
for cakes. The deer live friendly with
mankind They roam in the woods
and lanes by day. At shutdown there
is a bugle call, and they come with
