Budget Presented-Makes
Bad showing.

Berlin April 19.-Field Marshal Won
Waldersee reports that the best part
of the winter palace at Peking was
destroyed by fire Wednesday evening.
General SchwartZkopf met his death
in the fire, the cause of which is not
explained. He adds that the French
and Japanese troops gave the most
prompt assistance. The field marshal
and the other officers lost nearly ev-
erything. The body of Gen. Schwartz
kopf has been found. The body of
his dog was first found, and it is sup
posed the general re-entered the palace
TO rescue the dog. The suspicion of
incendiarism is not borne out. 1t is
believed the fire originated in thu
pantry near Won Waldersees kitchen.
Lieutenant Colonel Marchand, the
French officer who came into prom
inence at the time of the Fashoda
incident, distinguished himself in the
work of rescue.
May Prove Serious Incident
Washington. April 19.-The- secre-
tary of state received IA cable message
yesterday morning from Squiers.
United States charge at Peking. dated
at Peking. April 1s. announcing the
destruction by fire of Waldersee's
headquarters. This incident may prove
more serious than appears on the sur
face. 1t is known from diplomatic
communications received in Washing
ton that intense feeling has been
aroused among the Chinese over the
occupation of the empress dOwager'S
palace by Count Won Waldersee and
his military staff. This was graphical
ly set forth in Il letter recently re-
ceived here from one of the foremost
officials at Peking.
Occupation Was an Indisnity.
He described in detail the manner in
which the palace had been turned over
to military uses, and commented upon
the indignity which it involved to the
Chinese people and to the imperial
family. Moreover. il is known that
this military occupation of the i'm
perial palaces was a moving cause
for the rejection of all overtureS for
the return of the imperial family 10
Peking. From the Chinese standpoint
ii was impossible to even consider the
return OF the imperial family so long
as the commander-in-ch chief of the al
lied forces was in actual occupation
of the empress palace.
Bearing the Courts Return.
Now that the palace is entirely de
stroyed il may have bearing on the
return of the imperial family. While
there is no longer the objection that
the palace is occupied by the foreign
commander. vet new objection is
created in the removal of the palace it
self. for. under Chinese usage the I'M
perial family must occupy those eXclu-
sive quarters reserved for them with
in the prohibited precincts.

NOTABLE D|CTUMS
ON DIVORCES
Justice Gray's Opinions in the
Cases Before the National
Supreme Court.
TWO DEPENDENT ON THE DoMIoILE
And Both Are EuIIified for Lack of the
Same - Another Turns on
Notification.

Washington April 19-The written
opinion of Justice Gray. of the United
States supreme court, on the divorce
cases passed on by the court last Mon
day. became available yesterday, thus
affording the first opportunity for in
spection of Justice Gray's language.
OF the three cases decided only one
that of Streitwolf VS.. StreitwOlf-dealt
with a Dakota divorce case. In that
case the husband. a resident of Bruins
wick. y. J.. had visited North Dakota
for three weeks in May. 1897, and in
August of that year returned and in
stituted his suit for divorce three days
after his arrival the second time, never
having mentioned his May visit to any
OF his friends or relatives in the east.
The decision in this case. aside from
the recital of the history of it. was
very brief, being in the following
words:
Had Not Established DomiciIe.
1.-THE law of North Dakota requires
IL dOmicile in good faith of the libellent
fOr ninety days as a prerequisite To
jurisdiction of case of divorce. The
facts in evidence warranted and in
deed required the finding that the huS
band had no bona fide dOmicile in the
tained divorce there and it is not pre-
tended that the wife had an indie
pendent domicile in North Dakota or
was ever in that state. The court OF
that state therefore, had no juriSdic
ton"
Pennsylvania Decree Was n Fraud.
The other case in which an outside
decree was negatived was that of Bell
W.. Bell. the parties to which resided
in Erie county. y. Y. The case orig
mated in 1894. and the husband. Fred
eric Bell. resisted the wife'S proceed
ing in the spreme court of Erie county
for divorce with Il decree of divorce
which he claimed to have secured from
here in a Pennsylvania court. Tie
wife charged that this decree WAS
fraudulent and the court sustained the
charge. holding that Bell never had re
sided in Pennsylvania. Sustaining
that decree, Justice Gray said:
Opinion of Justice Gray.
"The question is of the validity
question in this case is of the validity
of the divorce obtained by the husband
in Pennsylvania. No valid divorce
from the bond of matrimony can be
decreed on constructive service by the
courts of Il state in which neither party
is domiciled. And by the law of Penn
sylvania every petitioner for divorce
must have had bona fide residence
within the state for one year next be-
fore the filing of the petition. There
fore the court in Pennsylvania had no
jurisdiction of the husbands suit for
divorce because neither party had
dOmicile in Pennsylvania"

and stage-Miss Sturgis'
Plans.

1t is probable that the St. Paul Ora
matte circle will give no plays this Win
ter. Woodland hall, which served the
purposes of the circle admirably last
year, is burnt down and the members do
not feel like going TO the expense OF fit
ting up a hall with stage and other
appurtenance necessary for the produc-
ton of a play. Moreover, Miss Mary
Sturgis, who is the director of the circle,
desires to devote all of her attention 20
the matter of the new music and dra-
matte hall which Will give the dramatic
circle a permanent home, and she and
the board of directors have decided that
it would be unwiSe, therefore, to give a
play duril.g the, early winter, at least.
The Dramatic circle did much to enliven
the dullness of last winters social sea-
son. and not a few of its members
evinced decided talent in their nistrionlc
ventures. Society is congratulating itself
that the circle does not intend to drop
out of existence permanently.
Should this matter of new music
and dramatic hail be a success the build
ing will contain hall that will seat
LOCO This hall will be on the first floor
and will be provided with balcony.
Although all plans for the building are
necessarily embryonic, Miss Sturgis, who
has the interests of the Dramatic circle
at heart, is determined that the hall will
be large and that it will be provided with
everything necessary for the successful
staging of a play.

CURIOUS WAYS OF THE SEX.

The ladies. sat in the railway station
parlor waiting the arrival of the 1C
O'Clock train. They were mostly strang-
ers to one another. and the irrepressibe
american female who asks questions was
alive and vibrant with curiosity. She
had to find out about her fellow travel
ers or burst. Next her sat a woman Of
white puffs and the first article in whose
creed OF politeness was that delicate
reserve in regard to private affairs, her
own and other peoples, is the distin-
gushing mark of a lady The irrepr.ss1-

made to see that the holes did count.
Once the Indians got into a drunken
row, and grandpa invaded their camp,
telling them if they would not be quiet
they should camp no more at Willow
Spring.
The Indians were full of fire water and
they wanted to fight and grandpa began
to think he was obliged to whip thu
whole camp when Chief Okemos came to
the rescue.
He soon quoted the angry Indians AMI
then he promised the angry white man
that no property of his should be dis
turbed, and that no noise should be al
lowed.
Grandpa knew Chief Okemos kept his
word, so he went home and slept quiet
ly till midnight. when he began his
twelve-hour shift in the mill.
They are gone now, the white man and

A GIRL OF SPIRIT.

An eighteen-year-o college girl was
one of the contributors to the receipts of
the Kansas City live stock market few
days ago. Miss Mabel Whiting, of Hard.
ing Neb. was represented by load
containing nineteen lightweight steers of
her own feeding, which sold for s.. 25 per
undredweight. making her profit of
more than $500. She is the daughter of
L. P Whiting a feeder and farmer Of
Harding. 1t had been her ambition to
go to college independent of any help
fror. home She had planned to teach
school last year but. following her ia
TIERS advice, she bought a load OF
cattle and handled them herself. The
result of her experiment is that she IS
about twice as well off financially as If
she had taught school. Her father, who
was at the stockyards when his daugA-
ter's cattle were sold. was delighted.
ct isn't that she had to do it, he
said cor really needed to earn the mSn-
ey but it's the idea that she is capable
of earning her own living if it ever sho I'D
become necessary. The work was not
drudgery, and she spent no more than
an hour a day attending the cattle. She
had the rest of the time to herself. In
the winter she went to nelghborlng
town three times week and took lessons
in dressmaking.
