A story was often told by the late
Charles l.. Tiffany Of an importunate
Irishman who for many years had been
employed as window washer His
nay had been raised quite as often as
was consistent with the dignity OF his
position. bat he seemed always hungry
lor probably thirsty for more. AT
length the firm decided that the limit
was reached. Not so Pat. Going one
morning to the inner sanctuary. he
sought audience with Mr.. Tiffany.
Good mornin'. Mr.. Tiffany" he COM
menced artfully. seeking to preface his
errand by disintcrested conversation.
Good morning, Patrick" was the
answer.
And how are ye this mornin', Mr..
Tiffany"
Quite we'll, thank you, Patrick"
And how are your wife and fami-
ly?"
quite well. thank you, Patrick. But
what can do for you this morning."
"Oi've been thinkin', Mr.. Tiffany.

You should be thankful. Patrick,
that you have been permitted to serve
so distinguished n house as that of Tiff
fany & Co. for twenty-five years. That,
with what we have already done for
you, should be sufficient. Good morn
ing. Patrick"
Good mornn', Mr.. Tiffany"
Realizing the futility Of further
words he left the room. Reaching the
outer office, he was hailed by chorus
from the boys" to whom his period

II requires ON an average 1000 gal
Ions on about twenty-fOur barrels of oil

Judge Edwards yesterday granted a
divorce in the case of Della IL. krug
against Willis &. Krug. They were mar
ried June ~, 1895, in Pecliville. by Rev.
S. c. Simpkins, and lived together there
until February, 1896, when she left him
because he made her life unbearable.
He was a foreman in her fathers plan
ing mill at the time of the marriage.
In her testimony at the hearing she
stated that he treated her coolly from
the very day of their marriage. on
their wedding trip. which included
trip up the Hudson, he avoided her, and
upon their arrival at Albany he sent
her on to Boston. While he remained
over night in Albany. When he came
to Boston the next day he allowed her
to remain at the house of q friend,while
he took a room at the hotel. She also
told that on one occasion, when on ac-
count of illness she avoided his CON-
panionship. he assaulted her, threw her
to the floor and choked her till she
tainted.
The husband was represented at the
hearing by Hon. Grant Herring and
Hon. NJ. f. Mcdonald. They endeav-
ored to show on cross-eXamination that
mug loiu tiiCii
wedding trip that she did not marry
him because she loved him. and. in fact,
hated him. An attempt was made to
show that at Boston she insisted on his
securing two rooms at the hotel. that
she and her girl friend might stay to-
gether and have a visit. When he re-
fused, she went to the girl friend's
house and left him at the hotel
The husband swore at the hearing
that the reason he remained over in
Albany was that his baggage was de-
layed and she was so anxious to get to
Boston she would not wait over with
him till the baggage came. He denied
ever having laid violent hands on her
and maintained that at all times he
treated her with the greatest tender
ness and affection. The respondent
further testified that he is still working
for the libellants father.

Frances H. Robbins, the libellant was
directed by court to pay the respondent

Standing Of Contestants
Points

The Trbune's third Educational
Contest started off yesterday with a
vim. In the two previous contests it
has taken until the third day before
single contestant returned points,
and it was hardly to be expected that
SO much would be accomplished SO
early in the struggle as the returns
printed this morning would indicate.
1t shows that the young men, at least,
have made up their minds to make Il
showing very early in the contest.
The above table shows that four Of
those who have entered the contest
have made u good start toward a
successful ending. The first confess
tant to bring in points yesterday was
j. A. Havenstrite, Of Ala Vine street,
Scranton. who, by an odd coincidence,
was the first one to have his name en-
rolled, he having sent in his applica-
ton on March 81 and receiving the
premier place of the entry list.
William Cooper, Of Priceburg. also
came in early in the day, with the
points he has succeeded in getting
since he received his book on Satur-
day.
Homer Kresge, of Hyde Park, was
the third to show progress. and he was
soon followed by Mr.. Kellerman. This
completed the returns for the first day.
1t will be interesting to watch this
list of contestants from day to day, to
see it expand and note how the leaders
may vary. Perhaps some of the young
lady contestants, of whom there are
quite number. may be in the van be-
fore the end of the week.
There were three more entries yester-
day, as follows:
Emanuel Bucci, 1923 Linden street.
Harry Bradley, 625 Washington ave-
nue..
Lewis McCusker, rs Court street.
The entry list will remain open for
some time yet, so as to give all those
who desire to participate in the con-
test an opportunity to do so. The
plan and rules of the contest are print
ed daily OH the fourth page, and those
who have not yet been made aware
of the wonderful opportunities offered
to the ambitious should peruse it.
They may find the chance of their life
time spread before them. A booklet
containing the plan and rules of the
contest will be sent to any one who
will forward their address to this Of
flee. All inquiries should be addressed
