BALDWIN TO TRY AGAIN
Considering ACCESSIBILITY of Leaving
Tromsoe in the Autumn.

Considering ACCESSIBILITY Of Leaving
Tromsoe in the Autumn.
TrOmsue, Norway, Aug. 1S.-Evelyn
b. Baldwin is considering the POSSIBLE
ity of leaving Tromsoe in the autumn
IN the first stage OF his polar advance.
Mr.. Baldwin and several members Of
the crew Of the America have made
statements before a notary public re,
garding the dispute between Mr.. Bald
win and Captain Johanssen of the
America.
According to Mr.. Baldwin's state
ment. Captain Johanssen refused to
obey the orders of The ice pilot, and
that necessitated his removal from
the command. Baldwin also says that
Captain Johanssen left the vessel at
Honingsvaag without Baldwin's knowl-
edge or consent.
The relations between Baldwin and
the ice pilot were always of the best,
the statement asserts, and II is added
that. while the death of half the dogs
from worms hindered the party from
reaching as far north as intended,
Baldwin is confident within twelve
months the America will each the in
tended latitude en- route to the north
pole.
The consulate at Christiania to which
Captain ~Johanssen complained has re-
ferred him to the consulate at Bergen.

GETS DIVORCE IN
DAKOTA STYLE
Daughter Of Tobacco Magnate
LorriIIard Legally Separ-
ated From husband
WAS MRS. T. 9. TALLER
She Had Lived in Sioux Falls but Six
Months, and a Years Desertion
Was Her Only Com
plant.

Sioux Falls. S. d., Aug. 1.-THE mat
rimonial bonds of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Suf-
fern Taller, prominent residents OF
New York city, have been severed In
approved Dakota style.
Mrs. Taller, who procured the d.

Pierre Lorillard, the millionaire to-
bacco merchant. The decree was grant
ed yesterday by Judge Jones In the
state circuit court at Salem, :. ID.
Taller and his ex-wife, whose maiden
name was Maud Lorillard, were mar
ried April Is, 1898. When Mrs. Taller
filed her complaint, a short time ago,
the defendant entered an appearance
and made a formal answer. The
ground upon which the divorce decree
was granted is simply that the defend
ant, II. Suffern Taller, abandoned the
plaintiff with intention to desert her,
and that such desertion has existed for
more than one year.
BY he terms Of the decree Mrs.
Taller Is given the right to resume her
maiden name If she wishes to do so.
The decree makes no provision Tor
alimony, the parties to the suit having
amicably adjusted the matter outside
of court. Neither Is the custody OF
the little son of the couple provided
for by the decree, the couple probably
having agreed that he should remain
with the mother.
Mrs. Taller, with her maid, TOOK up
her residence in Sioux Falls February
IL last. At the time 1t was rumored
that she had come to South Dakota Tor
the purpose OF remaining In the state
for the necessary six months in order
to establish IA residence and procure n
divorce, but neither herself nor her
relatives in New York would affirm or
deny the report.
During her residence in Sioux rails
Mrs. Taller has lived quietly at her
apartments I'm the Cataract hotel, ana
has been very exclusive In her asso-
ciatcs, apparently preferring not to be-
come Identified with the society circles
of Sioux Falls.
Her only recreation has been to take
long walks each morning and evening
She had sCales in her room and took
extraordinary precautions to keep her
weight reduced, it being her custom to
walk fully three miles each morning
and three miles each evening for this
purpose. .
While here she had n last letter of
the initials NJ, l.. r., representing the
name Maud Lorillard Taller, removed
from her trunks, leaving simply the
letters NJ. L., which indicates that she
will again her maiden name.
Within a few hours after securing
her decree Mrs. Taller and her maid
departed for New York city.
