LAUGH ON THE COLLEGE MAN.
Discounted by the Quiet Humor of Am
bassador Choate.

A story was told the other night
by a friend of United States Ambas-
sador Choate concerning that states
man and jurist's encounter with a
young college man years ago. Mr..
Choate had gone to New Haven to
witness one of the famous varsity
boat races between Yaleand Harvard,
and was returning to the city alone,
when he was approached in thecar by
a Yale student, who was trimming
over with enthusiasm and smoking a
huge pipe. The loquacious student
sat himself down beside the lawyer,
and recalled to him the fact that he,
Mr.. Choate, was an old friend of his,
the students, father. The older
acknowledged the acquaintance with
pleasure, and spoke a few kindly
words, when he was interrupted by
the loquacious student, who talked
on and without rest, pufinggsn his
huge pipe and blowing the smoke
continually into the others face.
The lawyer coughed and choked vio-
lently over the fumes, and then put
his eyes on the pipe and kept them
there. The student noticed this
finally, and installing the look for
one of admiration for the pipe, re-
moved it from his mouth and gazed
at it lovingly,
ga birthday present" said the own
er, proudly, regarding the rocking
bowl.
"Indeedl" said the lawyer quietly
suppressing a cough. 81 had no idea
you were SO old"
There was a laugh all over the car,
and the college man finally withdrew,
taking the ancient pipe with him.

WORK OF THE WORLD
All People, Rich and Poor, Should
Do Their Share of 1t.
California Judge Declares II IL the
Duty of wife TO Hear some OF
the Financial Responsible
tiles OF the Home.

Judge Waldo NJ. York, of Los An
gcles, Cal, is not the most popular
man in southern California just now.
He has brought down wrath upon his
head by declaring from the bench
that women should have some of the
responsibility of the support of The
family, and that the husbands failure
to support the wife was not neces-
sarily valid grounds for divorce. This
is the Judges ruling:
"A wife might easily earn enough
to support both herself and husband.
believe that women should bear
some of the responsibility of the sup
port of the family upon their own
shoulders. We ought all Of us to
work and do something to keep the
world going. The mere fact that this
woman and her daughter have had
to help support the family is not in
itself sufficient grounds for divorce"
The decision, which is holding first
place with the weather and other
topics of conversation, was in the di-
vorce suit of Mrs. Flora f. Stephens
against Henry G. Stephens, which
was decided in favor of the plaintiff.
Mrs. Stephens brought action for
freedom from her husband on the
ground of cruelty and nonsupport,
and told pitiful story.
The wife left the husband, but the
case is one which under the law con-
stitutes desertion by him, as ste
phens told his wife she would have
to go. They were living at the time
in East Los Angeles, and she took her
two children, who were living at
home, and left the man who hao
failed to support her.
Before the Stephens family moved
to Los Angeles they resided at Pc

mona, where the husbands neglect
of and cruelty toward his family
aroused such Indignation that the
citizens threatened to tar and feather
him if he did not leave town. The
man has no trade. and, according 10
the woman's story, no ambition and
no inclination to work. Since leav-
ing him Mrs. Stephens has been COM
PEELED to take in washing in order to
support the family.
Although poor, the plucky little
woman is ambitious for her children,
and is putting one son through a
college at Healdsburg, The boy, un-
like his father, is energetic and a
hard worker, and he is paying a part
of his tuition by working before and
after school hours. The oldest son,
Amos, has a situation in Riverside
county, but does little toward the
support of the family. The oldest
daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Woolacott, is
happily married and does much to
assist her mother. The youngest is
a child of eight.
After these facts had been proved
to the court, Mrs. Stephens attor.
ney, Charles Lantz, submitted the
case, and Judge York rendered his
decision. Touching upon the matter
of nonsupport, the judge said:
"a wife might easily earn enough
to support both herself and husband
1.-THE fact that the husband has not
contributed to the support of the
family without proof of his ability
to do so, or proof of his neglect TO
do so by reason of his idleness, prof
legacy or dissipation. is insufficient to
justify a divorce. Besides, the law
does not contemplate that poor
man, relying solely upon his labor
for support, should be the only la
borer in the family. In this case
the wife and her daughter, by honest
and honorable employment, were
able TO earn living and had the
courage to do so. Their work was no
harder than that ordinarily done by
laboring people, and for aught that
appears the husband may not have
been able to find employment, and, il
able to find employment, may not
have been physically able to labor
All people, rich or poor, should dc
their part of the work, and not be
drones, whose existence is useless.
"But it does appear in this case
that the husband, prior to the sepa.
ration, was extremely cruel to his
wife in many ways, and that without
cause he inflicted upon her grievop,
mental suffering and physical inju'
ries, and upon that ground she is en-
titled to a divorce.
~ do not look upon this matter OF
women helping to support the family
as such an extraordinary state of Of
fairs as TO warrant anybody apply
ing for legal separation upon that
ground"

TWO NEW YORK PARKS.
Their Summer Beauties Pictured by
Woman Of Gotham.


Writing in the Century Of mid

Ter van Rensselaer, has something to
say Of the famous battery and the less
well-known Tompkins square:
Battery park is the mostattractiye,
for it is always cooled by the breath

Here one realizes, as he does in look
ing at the long starry sweep of the
Brooklyn bridge, that we moderns
have created at least one sort of
beauty which the ancients, so much
richer in certain other sorts, knew
nothing at all about-the beauty Of
artificial light. There is nothing
finer to behold than the great ferry
boats and tiny tugs that numerously
ply up and down and around our har-
Dor, when, their prosaic outlines con-
cealed by the darkness, they seem mi
raculous fabrics Of flashing fire. 1t is
worth while to cross and recross the
North river on one Of them, to see the
dim silhouettes of the city's billy
structures enframing tier upon tier
of illuminated windows, or dark
masses merely spotted with lights,
and sometimes bearing what look like
altitudinous crowns of planets. And

place than the Battery, but at night
its trees and thick strawberries, under
the electric lamps that play the

HOTEL TRANSFER
ARTHUR c. NEWLY PAYS $50, 900
FOR THE PROPERTY.
He VIII Remodel the Building and
Make of 1t a F~irst-Class Bush
ness Block.

A real-estate deal was consummated yes
terday. through the agency of John Nj. &
Newton Todd, whereby Arthur c. Newly
becomes the, owner of the Plaza Hotel
property, on Monument place. The consid-
Grafton was $751; 900. Mr.. Newly transferring
to John Roberts, the former owner, the
Willoughby apartment house. on Michigan
street, between Illinois and Meridian
streets. as part payment for the Plaza.
MIR. Newly was seen last night and con-
firmed the story of the deal. He said he
will leave for a trip to the West Indies and
South America in a few days and will not
return before the middle of March. He said
that, owing to certain leases held by occu-
pants of the Plaza building, which will not
expire for nearly a year and a half, it will
be impossible to remodel the building until
that time. AS soon as the leases expire he
will completely remodel the structure, con-
verting the building into a business block.
He said he did not know as yet what kind
of business will occupy the building, and
he will remodel Ii according to the plans of
the tenant who leases ii. MIR. Newly be-
lieves that the Circle will become more OF
a business center in the next year or so
than it has ever been.
H. p. WATSON now owns the building ad-
joining the Plaza Hotel on the east. and Ii
will be used by Mr.. WATSON as part of his
retail store. Mr.. Newly expects to make a
first-class business block out of the Plaza
Hotel building.

ALL ACTING In HARMONY
PASSENGER OFFICIALS HAVE NO
COMPLAINTS AGAINST RIVALS.
Annual Meeting Of the Indiana Car
Service Northumberland and
Personal Railway Notes.

c. F. DAILY. general passenger agent Of
the Lake Erie G. Western road. returned
yesterday from Chicago. where he was in
attendance on the meeting of the Central
Passenger Association. 1T was he said,
"one of the largest and most harmonious
meetings / ever attended. Not a COM
petitor had a complaint to make, and all
resolutions introduced looking TO the ir-
terests of the passenger department we're
carefully considered and acted upon unari-
mously. The question of rates to a number
of conventions and large meetings was be-
fore the association. and in eacn -s.se the
rates were made to correspond with those
of 1900. To the smaller meetings the rate
for the round trip will be one eare and one
fifth. TO the larger meetings one fare for
the round trip. The Sunday excursion bust
ness will be carried on the coming season
even more generally than last year, the
general impression being that the revenue
derived from these large Sunday excur-
sions considerably exceeds the loss in
traffic in carrying regular business"
The most serious problem passenger OFF,
Gals now have to. contend with is the
competition of electric trolley lines. The
last year passenger business has been so
heavy that the results of their operations
have not been seriously felt, but Ii is
feared that when business is quiet and
there is a general depression the roads
may feel this competition.

In the case of John Osborn against the
Insurance Company of North America, the
Appellate Court decided that valuing in
sured property too highly does not void
only for payment of actual damage or loss
in case of fire.
The Supreme Court handed down a de-
cision in the case of Mrs. Elvira Barber,
Oh Hamilton county, against her daughters
in which the principle of a new trial as of
right in suits involving title to real estate
was reiterated. Mrs. BARRIERS ~stepdaugh-
tiers sued her to recover certain lands held
by her, the claim being made that she had
drugged their father, who was her second
husband, and influenced him to deed the
property to her while In that condition.
The charge was also made that Mrs. Bar
Der secured 5000 of personal property in
the same way. The lower court decided in
favor of the s~tepdaughters as to part OF the
land, but later granted a new trial as of
right. Still later, this action was recon-
sidered, the order for a new trial set aside
and an appeal taken. The Supreme Court
decided the lower court had no. right to
reconsider its action granting a new trial
as of right and sent the case back for such
trial.
