his cold conversational voice develops his ar

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
A Deserted Husband and Children
Accuse Wife and Mother.

Editor Globe; / am not a man who
would complacently air hisdirty linen
in view of the public, but in justice to
myself feel constrained to present the
reverse side of picture Of domestic in
felicity that appeared in the local col.
umus of the Washington Times of
recent date. The article in The Times
referred to divorce suit to which l
was made the defendant, Having a
number of acquaintance and valued
friends i'm Washington who are not
conversant with the true inwardness
of the case, | would feel obliged to The
Globe for presenting to them my side
of the case as briefly as l can state it.
In 1897 there came t. Washington
virtuous and highly respectable family,
consisting of husband and wife and TWO
noble children. A serpent stole into
this garden and seduced the wife and
mother. She now sues for divorce
after myself and children have gone on
our knees to her to leave her paramour
NV children are in full sympathy with
me, and no allegations of their mother,
public or private, can blind them to the
fact that She alone is responsible for the
disgrace she has brought upon them
