Husband Seriously Charged
Suit has been commenced in the
circuit court by Mrs Caroline Mavis,
through her attorney j X. Scott, for a
divorce from her husband, Edward
Mavis. She was married to Mavis in
Davenport Aug. Q. 1909, and she
states that April 10, 1901, she left
him. 1t is evident that their married
life did not run smoothly, for she de-
clares that soon after their marriage
her husband began to abuse her, beat
ing and choking her on numerous oc-
casions She further states that he
did not provide her with sufficient
clothing and denied her sustenance so
that she was forced to seek employ
ment to support herself. Since their
separation Mrs. Mavis asserts that she
is afraid tn go upon the streets uu-
accompanied, because of her hus-
bands repeated declarations to shoot
her. Mrs. Mavis petitions the court
for the restoration of her maiden
name, Caroline Weaver.

Reports show that the country around

the present case to kill one.
Mr. Rockhill, the special commission
er of the United States, says he does
not consider it safe for people to travel
alone in the country districts, and guards
cannot be supplied to the missionaries.
Consequently. those going into the coun-
try take considerable risk. The district
in which the murder was committed is

NO MORE CITY
Of SING Sine
GOVERNOR ODELL CHANGES
The iLL-OMENED NAME.
IT WAS NOT A PENAL COLONY
BUT THE FAMOUS PRISON THREW
ODIUM ON ALL THEIR
PRODUCTS.

New York, March 27.-The name Sing
Sing, so far as the village proper is con-
cerned, Is no more. Governor Odell last
night signed the bill changing the name
from Sing Sing to Ossining. The name
Sing Sing had become synonymous with
the state penitentiary and the outside
world looked upon the village as merely
penal colony. Manufacturers could
not be induced to go there owing to the
fact that the impression obtained that
all goods from Sing Sing We're prison
made goods. Other villages in West Ches-
ter county during the last ten years
have showed the largest increase III the
history of the census bureau, but Sing
Sing showed a decrease of 1918. These
conditions aroused the people and re-
suited in the petition to the Legislature
for the change of name. Sing Sing was
Incorporated on April 2, 1918, and was the
first village in West Chester county to
be incorporated under the state govern
ment. Sing Sing prison was erected in
1874. BY the provisions of the act which
changes the name from Sing Sing to Os-
shining, the prison property is still within
the boundary lines of the village but the
oticial name of the prison remains Sing
Sing as before. 1t is the purpose of the
cltlZens to erect railway station on
the prison grounds so that prisoners may
be brought to the prison without coming
to the Ossining station.

ARAB Revolt
IS SPREADING
SICK MAN OF EUROPE MAY LOSE
HIS THRONE.
NATION H0PELESSLY IN DEBT
AND A FORMIDABLE, WIDE
SPREAD REVOLT IS SWEEPING
OVER HIS KINGDOM.

London, March 27.-Advices received
from Constantinople are to the effect
that affairs are rapidly reaching dan
gerOus pass there. Turkish finances are
in an inextricable confusion. Govern
ment salaries are from six to eight
months in arrears. Upward of a million
Turkish pounds are due for war material
while the military expenditures are daily
increasing in order to cope with the re-
bellion in the province of Yemen, in
southern Arabia and the possible rising
in Macedonia. There is no doubt that
the Ottoman troops received a severe
check at the hands of the Arab insur-
gents, who in a manifesto denOuncing the
sultan, proclaim his brother Mohammed
Resha Effendi to be sultan with the title
of Mohammed V. The young Turks
party have adhered to the Arabian
claimant and the open enmity to Abdul
Hamii, the sultan, has spread to the pal
ace and the sultan's advisers. Izzet Bey
is said to be preparing for flight. The
patrols of Constartinople have been
doubled. Moha mmed dams and Christians
are arrested hourly, and large num-
her are daily shipped to Asia Minor.
The tension between Bugariars and
Musselmans in Macedonia is extreme. 1t
is riported that another band of mar
auders has crossed Bulgaria into Ma
cedonia.

MOSQUITO FLEETS
PROSPEROUS TRIP
MINIATURE GUNBOATS MAKING
THE VOYAGE TO MANILA
NOW AT CEYLON.

New York, March Decentralization is
felt by the navy department over the
successful voyage of the mosquito fleet
en- route to the Philippines, says Wash
ington special to the Herald. This COM
mand consists of the gunboat Annapo-
lis, the converted yacht Frolic and the
tugs Wompatuck and Mascotaqua. They
are now coaling at Colombo, preparatory
to proceeding to Singapore, whence they
proceed to Manila. They left here in
January and crossing the Atlantic by
the southern route, crept slowly over to
European ports. The progress of the
little fleet has been watched with some
anxiety, but the fact of its ability to
reach Colombo is regarded as as earnest
of it's arrival at Manila without mishap.
