FREE FROM THE CAPTAIN.
Mrs. Mary POttgieser Is Granted a
Divorce.

MIS-. mary POttS1eSer Is Grante0 a
Divorce.
Mrs. Mary Pottgieser, was yesterday
granted relief from the life which she
has lead for the last quarter of century
as the wife of Phillip Pottgieser, recently
discharged from the police force. The
defendant made no attempt to defend
himself and did not even appear in
court.
The tale of a ruined happiness and
disappointed hopes which Mrs. Pottgieser
poured out to the court led Judge Otis
to say he would hear no more, and he
Immediately ordered the jury to find for
the plaintiff.
The case is a pitiful one. The husband
did not appear in court Mrs. Pottgieser
was married in 1862 and since then has
borne seventeen children, and has laid
fifteen of them in the cemetery. Time
and time again Pottgieser has abused,
beaten and turned his wife out of doors,
falling to provide her either with money
or cloths. On one occasion, she says, he
dragged her by the hair to another
room and so pounded and mutilated her
that her own friends would not have
recognized her.
William Pottgieser, her son, has been
unable to live at home since he was
boy, but he testified that he knew con-
siderable about the troubles that had
been racking his mothers life.
The property will be equally divided
between the plaintiff and the defendant

bina ton of elements. 1t seems to be ac-
cepted that the radicals. or socialists, will
not yield in their opposition to the proposed
amendments to tho fundamental law. de-
signed to increase the power of the crown
and to curtail the privileges of tho minor
ity, now that they have been assured by
the recent election of tho growing sympa-
thy of the people. They are in a position
to force change of policy by persistent
deadlocking tactics. for as long as the
governments hands are tied by the failure
of the deputies to enact laws the popular
discomfort is certain to increase. This dis
content has shown some ugly phases. nota-
bly, in the case Of the food riots which oc-
CURED few months ago in various italian
cities. Important measures Of public i'm
provement have been suspended by the
legislative deadlock. and the government
is thus forced into the attitude of indiffer-
ence to the material welfare of Italy. The
opposition has heretofore adopted the
Vienna plan of preventing work in the
chamber of deputies by rioting and the
more pronounced style of f1libusterin8
which obtains on the continent. The crisis
Is believed by many to be serious, as 1t
affects the future stability Of the crown
and is complicated by the relations be-
tween the government and the church.

The German report of the engagement at
the Taku forts suggests that American
ships did not participate in the fighting.
Il will he humiliating if the United States
shall appear as the only power on the
scene which held aloof from international
sletiuH which had for It's purpose and effect
the preservation of American lives as well
as those of other nationalitie5. 1t is to be
hoped that the dispatch IS true which rep
resents that American marines formed part
Of the international force which forcibiy
occupied the forts.
This Is no time for INDIGESTION or for half
way measures. We cannot save threatened
American lives In Pekin and elsewhere in
China by pursuing an independent line OF
extent of our Immediately available re-
sources with those who are influenced by
the common purpose Of saving the lives Of
foreigners residing in China. Finespun
techIicd.ities are not In order. We ought
not to lay 50 much stress upon a possible
danger of embarrassing national complica-
TONS in the future 20 disregard a plain
duty of the immediate present.
To leave the protection of American lives
a, this time to an international concert in
which we do not participate would not
only be pusillanirnous. but would surely
turn Dut to be impolitic. The more vigor-
uuSly We now engage i'll movement which
is clearly life-saving and unnuestionably
jus.i:iahle. the better will be our position

ton on our part at a later date, and the
