In Each Separate One the Wife
Charges DesertiOn.

Three suits for divorce were filed yes
terday in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict In each Instance the complaint
was made by the wife. and in each case
desertion is named as one of the grounds
for seeking a legal separation. In the
case of Mary A. Greenstreet, who asks
for divorce from her husband, Abner G.
Greenstreet, she states that they were
married in this city in November. 1897
and that the defendant deserted her at
Traverse, Mich, in August, 1899. She
also alleges that he treated her with great
cruelty Mrs. Greenstreet asks the court
to grant her the custody of her infant
children and to permit her to resume her
maiden name, Mary A. Mckee.
In the case of Nina Steinberger who
asks for Il divorce from her husband,
Isaac Stelnberger, she states that he de-
serted her and has since refused to con-
tribute to her support. The parties were
married i'm this city in 1893 and lived to-
gether until December, 1894.
Minnie NJ Reed also filed suit for di-
vorce against her husband, William l..
Reed, on the ground of desertion. She
also asks for the separation on statutory
grounds The parties were married in
this city in 1895 and lived together about

The lack of sufficient force" says Mr..
/ Davis ito properly transact the business
and to give to taxpayers that prompt and
satisfactory service which they ought to
have has long been apparent TO everyone
who is brought into business relations
with the Office. Our present inadequate
force and the rapidly increasing business
tion to the number of clerks, but / have
only asked for such increase as has been
found, by experience to be absolutely nee
essary-namely, an assistant cashier and
two coupon clerks.
Our recommendations to supply the
needs of the office are based on an init
mate knowledge, gained by experience. of
what is necessary for the purpose. hence.
the failure OF Congress to supply the nee
] cssary assistance to enable this Office to
meet its growing demands has been the
/ cause OF embarrassment during the past
! four years.
The system of collecting taxes inaug-
urated in last May, after the defects de-
veloped in the beginning were remedied,
| worked very satisfactorily. 1t was found
| impracticable for this office to deliver
| bills, originally intended, owing to the
| delay caused by having to return such
| large number of bills to the Assessor for
alteration. In the meantime taxpayers
awaiting the return of changed bills made
| it difficult for others in line to approach
the cashiers desk. which caused dissatis-
faction and seriously interfered with the
| despatch or business. Happily that was

Reported in Good Working Order.

The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company has applied for pernis-
sion to string two wires from the line in
square $50 southwest along n, Third, and

The application was referred TO the

Fisher, Acting Electrical Engineer, has
reported that according to the act of

yard that without this connection the
proceedings will be enforcedly delayed
through the lack OF proper facilities in
the nature Of a telephone in calling for
witnesses and papers which the emergen-
cies Of the case will call up from time to
time. in my opinion, places the necessity
of putting this telephone in the light of
a public emergency which justiies the
approval Of the request.
