WIS GRANTED 4 DIVORCE
MRS. SUSIE L. REINKES TALE OF
WOE RESULTED In A
DECREE
HE THREATENED TO KILL HER
Doctor Prescribed Attendance at
Dances, but Hubby Objected
Many Suits for Damages
Heard Yesterday.

The domestic troubles of Susie I. and
John A. Reinke were aired before Judge
Otis in the district court yesterday with
the result that Mrs. Reinke was granted
divorce from her husband on Ine
ground of cruel and inhuman treatment
According to Mrs. Reinke's statement
a step-son, included in the marriage con-
tract; when she took Mr.. Reinke for bet
ter or rather worse in 1895, was the prin-
cipaI bone Of contention, Mr.. Reinke OBJ
jecting to his presence in the house.
With his objections he used considerable
abusive language and treated her with
harshness. Her attendance at dances,
prescribed, she said, by her physician,
also called down the husbands wrath.
Among other allegations was that the
husband one day drew a pocket knife
and threatened to cut her throat, and at
times amused himself by cruelty pinching
her. He also accused her of improper
conduct.
Included in the decree of divorce was
permission for Mrs. Reinke to resume
her maiden name, Susie I. Mead.
DRILLS CLAIM WAS $4,000,
But Judge Lewis Directed Jury to
Find Against Him.
In the case Of Henry Brill against the
city for damages sustained while work
ing on a pile bridge leading to the pub
lie baths, Judge Lewis yesterday directed
the jury to return a verdict for the city.
Brill wanted $4,000 for injuries receiv-
ed, which he claims was due to neglt-
gence on the part of the city.

4 case which came before the Milan
police court the other day amusingly
illustrates the maxim ''other times,
other manners" There is among the
city statutes a law vigorously prohib-
iting al kisses or other amatory dem
onstrations in public places as being
contrary TO morals. This statute,
though dating from the days of the
Sforzas. is still so strictly enforced that
only the other day pair of perfectly
respectable lovers were taken before
the tribunal fox merely exchanging an
embrace in quiet corner of the park
when they thought nobody was look
ing. Upon this case city Solomon ad-
Judged that though kissing under such
circumstances could not be considered
contrary TO morals, ii was not consist
ent with the ideals OF advanced civihza-
ton as to decorum. \ fine of l2 shill-
ings was inflicted.

SCHULZRElN, GROCER
Why HIS NEW YEAR WAS A HAPPY ONE
By Ethel Maud Colson.
VOL. 80.

RYNHE old.time corner grocery" is by
Hk~l no means extinct, even in the great
SN cities. Schulzhein's grocery, on the
corner Of South Halsted street, Chicago,
and one of the little dark alleys which lead
out Of this thoroughfare, is typical Dutch
grocery" Of the kind seldom seen nowadays
Sohulzhein himself is a staid and kindly old
German who says little, but sells groceries
cheaper than anyone else in Chicago. He
has been doing this so long that the low
prices have ceased to astonish anyone but
the residents OF the social settlement near
by.
"What is the social philosophy underiy.
ing your cut rates. Mr. Schulzhein:' one OF
the residents asked him, half humorously.
ON the last day of 1899. Mr.. Schulzhein did
not receive the query in quite the spirit she
had expected.

"but belieie some things, and | know some

and dey cannot pay much. | haf nobody but

Have you always been alone in the
world?" inquired the visitor, wondering
The sudden contraction OF the old storekeep-
er's eyebrows told OF pain somewhere.
MY wife, she dead 30 years, was his
quiet reply, "and mine little daughter, she

however; some God given instinct sent
Schulzhein straight to that door, and when.
next day, the settlement resident dropped
in at the always open grocery to wish Mr..
Schulzhein Happy New Year there were
sounds Of women's voices in the little room
back of the store.
dat vas mine own little Gretchen, dat
sick modder," Schulzhein told her, brokenly,
"and dat poor young widow woman vas mine
own grandchild, and der baby vas der first
great-grandchild Of der family. And
brings dem all ofer here to lif wild me dis
morning. Come in, come in, and say wild
dem Happy New Year"
And the settlement visitor was no more
ashamed OF the tears they were both she'd
ding than was the old storekeeper himself.

"What lots of trouble there is in the
world" remarked the visitor, picking up the
sugar purchased for a sick neighbor. "Now,
the poor woman | am taking this to lost her
husband last summer, and she has an invalid
mother and a tiny baby to support. And now
abe had been too i'll to work for six weeks

"Why don't you take them yourself!
asked the settlement lady, seized with sud
den inspiration. "The mother as OF your
nation, and it would do her good to talk Ger

New Year, Mr.. Schulzhein, for kindness
sake"
"Vell, l t'ink | vil," said schuzhe,nn'
greatly to his own astonishment. i go dls

Closing-time came very late to Schulz
helm, who thought it hard for tired men and
women to be compelled to think OF every
thing they needed before hahpast seven,
and still harder for sleepy children to be
dragged out of bed unnecessarily early on
cold winter mornings to run over to the
store, and who kept open later than ever
IN the holiday season. But he did get the
store closed and the basket of groceries
ready at last, although he went back sew
eral times after extra delicacies. And he

bill at the beginning Of McKinley's
administration, the insertion OF six
words, two dollars a hundred on lum-
ber," in the bill by Senator Elkins
saved this state $50, 600, 900 and in 80
days thereafter every acre of timber
in the state had an added value. Saw
mills started up in great numbers and
the great lumber trade was revived as
the grateful shower revives the bloom.
