New York, April IA special to
the World from Galveston says: Quiet
ly and without even the judge who
tried the case knowing the identity of
the defendant. a divorce has been
granted in the Tenth district court
here to Charles N. F. Armstrong, from
Nellie Armstrong, better known TO the
world as Melba. Armstrong is son
of Sir Andrew Armstrong, bart, Nj. P,
and Lady Frances Fullerton Armstrong
of Ireland. The petition for q divorce
was filed Dec. u, 1899. 1t being inn
possible to get service on Melba, eta
ton was by publication.

Address Issued BY Secretary johnson
of the National Cattle Growers
Association States Necessity For
Such an Organization and Calls
For a Meeting at St. Louis.

Strawn, Tex, April 10.-An address has
been issued by w. w Johnson. secretary
of the National Cattle Growers associa-
ton, in which, addressing the cattle
growers of North America he says:
Associated effort on the part of all the
people engaged in a common pursuit is
necessary TO attain the best results, and
the cattle industry of North America. on
which millions OF people are dependent
for food, should be fostered and protected
by all possible means.
All other great industries except the
cattle industry are organized in strong
homogeneous associations and the wisdom
or cooperation on the part OF ali the
cattiemen of North America in promoting
measures Tor preventing the Introduction
OF cattle Infected with contagious pleuro-
pneumonia and other diseases TO which
cattle are subject. and to stamp out dis
ease wherever found, is apparent TO all
thinking people. While various livestock
associations exist in North America, they
are largely locih in character or composed
OF lncOngruous elements which can no
more combine in an effective way than
water and oil can be united.
The lines Of debarkation between the
United States and Canada on the north
and Mexico on the south, do not prevent
cattle on border ranges from passing from
one country to another and in conSe-
quence an outbreak Of contagious pleuro-
pneumonia among cattle OF Canada or
Mexico would, if not stamped out endan-
ger the entire cattle industry in the
United States.

gagged in business as the Pacific Lum.

cuted written order TO the defend
ants on Josiah Barnett, trustee, by

Yeyance to certain property on ounce

euted a note to Romney as trustee, a

torneys he signed a written acknowl-
edgment of the judgment in favor of
the defendants, on which confession a
judgment was on the same day Of the
execution Of the contract entered in this
court and is of record therein.
The plaintiff prays the defendants be
compelled to exhibit their claims and
indebtedness against the plaintiff with
vouchers therefor; and that the con-
tract of June q, 1898, be declared
fraudulent and void, and that on pay
ment Of the amount justly due the de-
PENDANTS be compelled to transfer to
him the real and personal property and
satisfy and discharge the said judg-
ment by the confession of June q 1893
