An ABSOLUTE DIVORCE.
judge Kirwan Decides in Favor
of Herman Hsinzolman.
STORY OF A TRANCE.
Sheboygan Man Given a Decree and
tae Custody of the Two
Children.

Manitowoc. Wis, Feb. 6.-fSpecial.1
j Judge kirwan yesterday handed down
his decision in the sensational HeinZe-
man divorce case. The decision grants
en- absolute divorce to the plaintiff, Her
man Heinzelman, giving him the custody
of the children. Mrs. Heinzelman is
given $994.63 OF her husbands property,
$50 interest and $50 attorneys fees.
The suit was instituted about year
ago by Herman Heinzelman, who is in
the shoe business at Sheboygan, Wis,
against his wife. Mrs. Minnie Heinzel-
man. They were married in January,
1855, and have two sons, one 10, the
other II years old. Both husband and
wife SEINE years ago became Christian
Scientists and attended the meetings reg
ularly. 1t did not take long, however, when
Mr.. Heinzelman, who it was alleged,
is of very jealous disposition, became
jealous Of Rev. John f. Van Vlasslaer of
the Christian Science church whom he
alleged paid attention to his wife. He
stopped attending the meetings and siren
uously forbade his wife from attending,
but she never needed her husbands man
date and became more devout than ever.
The difficulty grew worse and frequent
quarres arose during which she claimed
Heinzelman called her vile names and
accused her of infdelity and ordered her
10 leave his house, and she was 0Dnged TO
fee to her sisters home for refuge. She
further asserted that through her hus-
bands continuous and persistent harass-
ing accusations, she was caused 70 fall
into trancelke state that lasted for 8
period Of twenty-One days during the
month of February, 1898. She was final
ly brought out of her cataleptic condition
by giving her cold baths
On her recovery Mrs. Heinselman re-
fused to return to her husband, though
solicited to do so by him many times,
claiming that he refused to comply with
the condition which she would impose
upon him, namely to discontinue his abuse
and groundless accusations. Mrs. Helm
zelman claimed that her trance was
caused by the acts Of her husband Mr.
HeinZelman admitted that his wife was
in such condition, but offered no ex-
PLANTATION. DR.. Carl Muth claims that
the patient could at will return to a
normal condition. Rev Mr.. Van Vlass-
laer said that fear alone was the cause,
and that had there been harmony at
the bedside of the sick woman she could
at once have arisen from the trance.
Both medical science and Christian SCI
ence agree however, that during the spell
she was conscious of everything that was
going on about her The disagreement
seems TO be as to her ability to recover
Mr. HeinZelman asked for a divorce on
the ground that his wife deserted him,
while she asked for a decree Of divorce
in her favor on the ground of cruel and
inhuman treatment. he having been the
cause OF her leaving.

The loss Of personality! In that dread

Can we deny that all our sweetest hours

A son Of the oldtime yachting captain,
Jack White Of Red Bank, picked up
Mexican silver dollar Of 1884 on Sandy
Hook the other day. Captain Jack said
it reminded him of many dollar he had

and you could find them whenever there
were wrecks. Nowadays pirating would
not pay, but in those days every ship had
to carry lot Of money every time she
went on a voyage. Nowadays a captain
doesn't have to have anything but a bit
of pocket money, and it is a fact that
many ship goes out on a voyage with
hardly dollar on board. If the captain
needs anything he can either draw mon
ey at any port he enters or else find cred
it there.
1t was very different a generation ago.
In those days a captain had to take out
with hlm money enough to last him for
the Wnole voyage and sometimes for
emergencies besides. He often had big
sums aboard also that were used in trad
ing, or that represented a cargo sold.
1t was not uncommon in those days
for ship to start out with a full cargo.

captain would have to hunt his own mar
ket. If the cargo wouldn't sell well there
he had power to go to any other port to
hunt profitable market Then when
he had sold out he was expected to buy
new cargo, either for home port. or,
perhaps, some other port of the world. 1t
was not unusual for a captain to handle
half a dozen cargoes ON long trading
voyage and come home in ballast with
Zig box of silver dollars tO holm Eoan

vessels carried a lot Of money abroad
