flower of Great Britain's army, riding
under the Union Jack. Cuban veterans

much TO his annoyance. Mr.. Barker
called the matter to the attention OF
the porter. who placed cuspidor near
where Mr.. Cooper was expectorating. :
This did .,ot seem to have the desired
effect, and Nr. Barker thereupon ven-
tured to speak to Mr.. Cooper on the
subject. The latter. IL is alleged. be-
came very angry. and said he did not
intend TO be lectured on his behavior

that he would resent then and these

that there will be several novel and in
teresting questions raised in the trial
of the suit OF George @. Barker said to
be OF Providence. president of the Ma
tional Dredging company of Whining
ton, Del, against Representative Sam
uel Bronson Cooper OF Texas. to re-
cover $4,000 claimed as damages for
an assault made upon the plaintiff by
the latter.
From the prominence of the parties
to the suit II may be expected that the
legal fight will be carried out TO a fin
ish, although the fist fight was not.
From what can be learned OF the causes
which led to the difficulty, there ap-
pears TO have been a wide difference OF
opinion between the gentleman OF the
dredging company and the gentleman
from Texas as TO parlor car etiquette.
This question being settled, the right OF

MR.. POTTER SECURES
DIVORCE AT NEWPORT.

The petition of James Brown Potter

The decree is absolute, and Mr.. Potter
is given the custody OF his daughter.
Miss Fiji Potter. The divorce is based
on the ground of desertion, and the
evidence was entirely based on depo-
sitions.
The case promised to be interesting
to an unusual extent by reason of the
prominence of Mrs. Potter in the theat-
rical world, and of Mr.. Potter's social
standing.
Much secrecy had marked the pre-
liminary proceedings, and a fortnight
ago depositions were taken before a
special commissioner, with the intent.
