that the party who wanted the shoes
had a small and white hand, which
did not look like a workingman' $.
While he showed the shoes, one man
kept trying to get back of him and

and thought they had caught him, but
just then another man came in the
store, and the two men hastily left,

ing started about March 1st

Gay by Contractor john ]. Rea, of Clar-

This is an enterprise that has long
been needed in this city, and one which
will prove paying investment to its
projectors. We have ample room for
Clher manufactures, and hope this

THE NEXT THING NEEDED.
Navy Now Locking for Armor Device
to Overcome Superior Penetrn-
tiGn of Soft.NOsed Can

Consideration is being given by
naval experts to the invention of some
armor device which will overcome the
superiority impaired to an armor- -pier~
cling projectile by a soft steel cap. The
bureau CT ordnance has received sew
eral suggestions, the adoption of which.
their authors believe, would nullify the
effect of the soft-nosed shells.
As the United States has led all 9TH
er nations in the adoption of the soft
nosed cap, there is no CRYING need for
haste in providing American men-of-
war with additional protection. The
authorities understand, however, that
the success of American experiments
with the cap will lead other nations to
adopt the invention, and it is therefore
desirable that some plan should be de-
termined upon to overcome the supe,
siority of the shell.

OBJECTIONS SUSTAINED.
Court Decides That Man Is Not
Obliged to Make Home for His
MOther-in-Layy,

Justice Russell, of the supreme
court, the other day granted James
Hyland decree of separation from
his wife, deciding that, in refusing to
live with him without her mother, she
had legally deserted him. Hyland, in
his suit against his wife, declares that
he was and still is willing to live with
her, but that he will not have her
mother around
For the sake of peace,' the affidav-
it continues, Il was willing to sweep
and dry the dishes, although l knew
these We're not a husbands duties. l
gave my wife S14 out of the SIS /
earned as weekly salary, but moth
ing | could do satisfied my mother-in-
law, who insisted upon annoying me
upon every possible OCCASION"
The affidavit then goes on to say
that, unable to bear it any longer, he
ordered his mother-in-law out of the
house, and that his wife left with her.
Justice Russell, in allowing the de-
cree, states that the husband cannot
be compelled to support his mother
in-law. He holds that Hyland was
right in ordering her out of the
house, and that this was not sufficient
cause for his wife to leave him.
