Il never knew until now how small

Mrs. Julia Falcone of $50 Second ave-

tailor husband. who had sent her to
Europe for her health. His brother,
Giovanni Falcone, it is alleged, had
found her visiting the Paris fair with

Falcone has brought suit for abso-
lutte divorce and has sued Cavalieri,
who is wealthy and lives at 205 East
Thirtieth street, for $4,000 damages
for alleged alienation OF his wife's af-
fections.
Falcone began to patroniZe Cava-

soon became friendly with the barber.
Cavalieri often called at Falcone's
house, and, according to her husbands
complaint, became infatuated with
Mrs. Falcone. She refrigerated his af-
lection. It is said, and grew cold to-
ward her husband. who declares that
for two years his wife cooked the bar
ber's dinner and sent 1t to his shop.
At the time the husband did not know
this.
Mrs. Falcone complained that her
health was undermined. Her husband
bought her a ticket for the steamship

STURGEON NEARLY EXTINCT.


Rapid Decrease Of Catch In the Past
Few Years.
1t may surprise some persons to
learn that full grown female stur-
geon is as valuable a creature as the
fur seal. Yet this Is a fact. 1t may
also interest and surprise many to be
told that more than 81 ,000. 600 are in
vested In the sturgeon catching indus
try in the Delaware river alone. and
that more than seven-eighths OF the
caviar sold In this country as Rus
sian caviar is made few miles below
this city from eggs OF the sturgeon
caught In this vicinity. Yet both
these things are true also. The slaugh-
ter OF the fur seals in Behring sea and
their threatened early extinction by
Canadian poachers produced at one
time widespread excitement through
out the country, and for awhile caused
decidedly strained relations between
the governments OF the United States
and England. The sturgeon is as
rerilously near extinction as the fur
seal. At the rate this valuable fish is
disappearing and unless something is
promptly done to prevent 1t in FIVE
years there will be none to catch. To
show how rapidly the sturgeon are
passing away it is only necessary to
refer to the report Of the Pennsylvania
hsh commission. According to the
document, between the years 1850 and
1889 1t was not uncommon for 1000
sturgeon to be seen on the dock at
Bayside as the result of one days
catch. In the latter named year the
fish began to decrease in number rap
idly. The average catch to a net that
season was 60; in 1891 about 55; in
1892 it was 43; In 1893 1t had fallen
to 80; in 1894 down to 26; in 1895 the
average to a net rose to 80. but in
1896 It fell to "a; in 1897 the average
was 22 in 1898 it fell to l3. and in 1899
it sank to s. In 1898 the total catch
Of sturgeon in the Delaware bay and
river was over 5000. Last season 1t
was $50. 1t cannot take long at
this ratio to bring determination.
