THE MAK WHO PARED.

In the West the traveller comes again and again on some rudely clad, rough handed man. He finds to his astonishment that the man is learned. He can talk scientifically of the flora of his neighborhood, or of the geologic formation of the land he tills. He has framed diplomas hanging in his home. What's he doing out here with his education and ability !? He tells you that he broke down after leaving college and went to farming to recover his health. It took him so long that he lost his grip on the other life and stayed on the farm. That's the story of

~ o Ew YORK, December H.-(Spe-
 IM eial)-I have passed the most
 INI disasreeable period in the year = - to me- It Is the only time feel that 1t Is not to have a family; but the relief of not having one for flfty-one weeks reconciles me for the sensation experienced in one year. Many of my friends invited me to dine with them on Christmas. I did not. I dined at the Union Stub. with others like myself. Some of my friends who would have been my hosts did not keep the day by having a family dinner. I think every family should try and get together on Christmas, and when they do not I do not care to dine with them, and when they do feel like an outsider. Speaking of this reminds that the reason why so few of the fashionable people have family din- ners Is because if they are old families they are all at swords points with one another and If they do not 1t is because they are ashamed of their relations.
 Around and about Christmas. however, there has been a good deal of gayety with very little of the holiday spirit. Large theater parties have been very popular. The largest was given by Mrs. James M. Waterbury Since Jimmie tied himself all up with his cordage failure and was compelled to swear in court that he owned nothing but the clothes on his back Mrs Jimmie has been the social head of the family.
 The theat CT party to which I refer was given in honor of Miss Elsie Waterbury, their daughter, who Is one of the most attractive debutants of the season She Is a very charming girl. The theater party, numbering 150 people, went to the Lyceum Theater to see Miss Annie Rus sell and 'The Girl and the Judge" Much of the entire body of the house was se- cured for the party. As can be imagined. the Lyceum Theater presented gala appearance. as all the women of the party were in elegant evening attire.
 After the performance the entire party was conveyed to Sherry's in electric om- nibuses, and there a seated supper was served, this being followed by informal dancing. As Mrs Waterbury has been obliged quite recently to get into light mourning she was unable to receive with her daughter at Sherry's. Her place was taken by Mrs. Lawrence Waterbury, her sons wife
 I am not much given to sentiment, but I could not help wondering the other night what Jessie Sloane's mothers sen sations could have been when she knew that her daughter was being introduced Into society, at a ball to which she was not bidden.

Building Trades Council Will Not He
Interfered With.

The action of the building trades sec
tion,' of the Central Labor Union, in
establishing a universal working card,
was the principal subject of discussion
at the meeting of the Plilding Trades
Council last night. 1t was stated after
the meeting adjourned that the organi-
cations affiliated with the council have
no fear that the action of the section"
will interfere with their plans.
The section" it was stated on Mon
day night, decided that after October
next the members of unions represented
would not be permitted to work with
members of any craft, who are not pro-
vided with universal working card"
There are several building trades or
ganizations connected with the Building
Trades Council which are not affiliated
with the section"

Day Excursion Committee, reported that
SO far as statements have been made by
the subcommittee, there is every rea-
son to be confident that the outing was a
great success, particularly from a finan-
cial point of view.
1t was also reported that a co:nmuni-
cation was received from the Building
Trades Council, of Atlanta, Ga, asking
for information concerning a local busi-
of some buildings in that city. The mat

Within two or three months after the
arrival of the bride and groom in this
city the relations between them became
so strained that they hardly spoke to
each other and Mrs. Rodney instituted
proceedings for separate support and
maintenance. To this suit Mr. Rodney
filed an answer in which he laid the whole
blame of his martial troubles at the door
of Miss Cole whom he accused OF having
hypnotized his wife and of having stolen
her affection from him. Miss Cole insti-
'tuted proceedings against him to recover
SIS claimed to be due her for services as
companion to his wife. Miss Cole. how
ever. did not obtain a Judgment and soon
afterward left Washington for Canada.
The suit filed by Mrs. Rodney for sep
arate support and maintenance was aban-
doned and the differences between herself
and her husband. to all outward appear
ances. amicably settled.
About two months ago. however, she
again begun proceedings for limited di-
vorce and upon the presentation of her
petition to the court an order was signed
requiring Mr.. Rodney to pay her s45 per
month as alimonY during the pendency of
the suit. A few days after the filing of
Mrs Rodney's petition Mr.. Rodney filed
proceedings for divorce. in which he
asked for a legal separation from his wife
on the grounds of cruelty. Twice since
the filing of these suits counsel for Mrs.
Rodney has applied to the court for an
order requiring Mr. Rodney to show
cause why he should not be committed
for contempt for failing to pay his wife
alimony as stipulated in the decree of the
court.

The Koch Lung Cure
Home Treatment
That Cures Consumption and
Asthma.

BY the inhalation method as used by
the Koch Lung Cure this germ killing
remedy is combined with healing oils and
breathed directly into the tubes of the
lungs and it comes in direct contact with
the disease itself. and thus the poison
which causes consumption is killed and
the healing oils of the inhalation are en-
abled to heal up their sore places. The
old way-by injection-was successfully
used by Prof. Koch and hundreds of ply
sicians who attended his college in Ber-
lin and became educated in its use, but ii
has now generally given place to the more
successful treatment-the Koch inhala-
ton.
At the Berlin University Prof. Koch
teaches this treatment to his students. At
the German Government Laboratory, Of
which he is the chief, he promulgates his
formulary for curing consumption. BY
the use of the limitation invention, which
carries the healing oils directly into the
air tubes. decay of the lungs is arrested
and the sore and diseased places are
healed and the oily. medicated vapors are
brought directly in contact with the af-
fected parts through the tubes of the
lungs and results are secured in con-
sumption, bronchitis, catarrh. and asth-
ma which never were and never could be
accomplished by the old way OF taking
medicine into the stomach
Many have published at their own ex-
pense what the Koch Lung Cure at s27
+ Street northwest; Washington, d. C.,
has done for them. The Koch Lung Cure
also have offices at fS W. 22d St, New
York; 1884 Arch St. Philadelphia; sol N
Eutaw Street, Baltimore. and In Ashe-
Vile, n. C., Rochester, Buffalo, n. Y.
They have no branch Offices In Washing
ton, although imitators who claim to be
connected with them are deceiving the
public. Consultation examination, and
the first treatment are free.
