DECISION ON DIVORCE.
Supreme Court PASSES on the validity
In One state of DEGREES Grant,
ed in other states.

Washington, April 16.-The United
States supreme court Monday decid-
ed number of cases involving the
validity in one state of divorce de-
crees granted in other states. The
court held practically that in cases
in which the decree is granted in
states where the husband and wife
have made their legal residence 1t Is
valid in any part of the United States,
but that in other cases in which
there is no legal residence in the
state in which the decree is granted
they are invalid. The opinions were
handed down by Justice Gray and in
volved the cases of Atherton VS.. Ath-
erton, Bell VS.. Bell and Streilwolf VS..
Streilwolf. In the Atherton case the
husband obtained n decree of divorce
in the state of Kentucky where they
had resided as hus band and wife,
after the wife had left the husband
| and gone to the home OF her parents
in Clinton, N. Y. In his opinion JUS
tice Gray called attention to and laid
| stress upon the fact that Kentucky
was the place of their marital resi-
dence and he also brought out the
| fact that notice of the husbands pc
tition for divorce had been forwarded
to New York and that she had made
no response. The Kentucky court
thereupon had granted the decree.
The question involved, was, he said,
whether the decree was valid in New
York, the question having been raised
by counter proceeding of the wife
for divorce in New York. He con-
cluded that, owing to the fact of her
former residence in Kentucky, and
the fact that due notice had been
given her, Mrs. Atherton was as
much bound by the Kentucky decree
as if she had been present in the
court when it was granted. Hence
the decision of the New York su
preme court in favor of the wife ant
against the validity of the Kentuck.
decree was reversed.
The other two cases also cam'
from New York. In the Bell case tn,
. question of the validity of deere,
, granted to the husband in Pennsyl
vania was raised and in the Streilwol
case the same question was raiset
concerning decree granted to tn
husband in North Dakota. In bot
, these cases the DEGREES were held t.
! be invalid because neither the hus
band nor the wife had domiciled il
=, the state in which the divorce wa
, granted.
! Therefore" said Justice Gray
"the DEGREES are not entitled to cred
' it." In those cases the findings O
. the New York courts were affirmed
In the Atherton case Justice Peel
. ham dissented upon the ground tina
the husband had himself been re
sponsible for the wife's change c
? residence.

Capt. John A. Hassell, who COM

Boer army in the first part of the

1.-THE Boer cause, while 1t cannot be said
to be bright, Is brighter than that of the
British. The Beers have just as good
chance to win now as the Americans had
before the sudden turn of good luck which
resulted in the surrender of Cornwallis.
''The winter season has just begun in
South Africa, and from now until Septem-
ber the British soldiers will have hard
time.
"The Beers are making their winter quar-
ters In the Lydenburg range, where the Eng
lish will not dare tackle them, Tor they
would have to cross the low, marshy coun-
try to get there, and they have to import
every pound of fodder for their horses.

Paris, April IA dispatch from
st. German, near this city, describes
the extraordinary case of Julienne
LandrieuX, servant girl, from

of considerable irritation of the skin,
and last Thursday went to local
druggist, who found number OF
needles emerging from various parts
of her body. He extracted them with
pincers. The girl has returned sew
eral times day since and up to
Tuesday morning the druggist had
drawn out 100 needles from her arms,
hands, feet, breast, the lobe of her
ear, her eyelids and the corner of
her right eye. The girl experiences
no pain until she feels the needle
piercing the epidermis. The needles
always emerge thick-end first, and
unless Immediately extracted, disap-
pear again.
Two reputable newspapers, the
Matin and the Temps, have investi-

authenticity of the story. Mile
Landrieux says that five years ago
when she was II years old,she amused
herself, with other children, by swal
lowing quantities of needles. She
swallowed 40 in one day and never
felt any inconvenience until recently
While relating the foregoing to the
reporter of the Temps, who saw hel
at the druggists, she explained:
II feel one in my eye now" Th'
druggist then upturned her right eye

fragments of needles.

the case was quite unprecedented

Pittsburg, April 17.-The strike at
the Devices Wood plant of the Amer
lean Sheet Steel Go. at McKeesport
is still on. The mill is being operat-
ed in crippled condition. Samuel
NJ. Cooper, general manager of the
Wood plant, is opposed to recogni-
tion of the Amalgamated association.
In an interview he said: This mill
will never recognize the union. The
Wood mill has been opposed to the
Amalgamated association for over ~
years and the men at the head of
the mill now are just as much OPP
posed to the association as the form

If the plans contemplated by the
Amalgamated association are car
ried out the result will be suspen-
sion of operations at all the union
plants of the American Sheet Steel

ed association, issued call yesterday
for a special meeting of the national
advisory board, together with the

An official, very close to the man
apement of the Sheet Steel Co., salt
that it is the intention of the com

present is not an opportune time TO
