Wifs's Application For Divorce.
All the way from Richardson street,
Dinton Holme, Carlisle, Cumberland
county. England, Great Britain comes
an affidavit by Joseph William Watson.
which he desired read to the court
when the suit of his wife, Jane Wat
son, for divorce, is heard. Mrs. Wat
sons action is on the ground of failure
to support.
In his affidavit Watson says that
when he was married 20 the plaintiff in
June, 1897. they took up their home
with the parents Of Mrs. Watson and
remained there until July IT, 1898,
when he was ordered out of the house,
and given the alternative Of being
thrown out. Mr.. Watson then says
that he went. at which time he was
told by his wife that she wanted moth
port from him.
Watson then admits that ne has not
supported his wife since, but says that
she received eli for certain cO-Opera-
tive society stock which they held
jointly. and that she also sold their
furniture and wedding presents. In
conclusion Watson says he had not
known of his Wife's WhereabOu'~ for
two years until he received the UNI
mons in the divorce case. He also
makes the suggestion that according
to the law of England his wife deserted
him. and expresses the belief that a
court of English jurisdiction can make
no order for maintenance or divorce
against him

NEW YORK LIES RECORD.
Old Reliable Insurance Company's
Business For the Year More Than
a Million a Day.

New York, Dec. 81, 1901.-The closing
d. Of the year indicates great prospect
ty III every business direction. The large
mercantile houses, the various banking
institutions and the trades generally
are quite enthusiastic with the records
made. The fire insurance business has
not resulted in great profits for stock
holders, owing to the poor rates OBJ
tanned. but the regular, old-line life
insurance companies, on the other
hand, will make a splendid showing
for their policy holders.
The leader in business obtained and
in force will undoubtedly be the New
York Life, as President Mccall has is
sued a statement that the new applica-
tons to his company in 1901 will ex-
coed $3.50, 900, 00C, or more than s., 600, 900
Cor every day in the year. This is an
unprecedented record. The company's
new paid for business in 1901, exclud-
ing risks, rejected, etc, is $3.50 000, 600.
The total paid for insurance in force is
1880, 600 000-a gain Of S160, 900, 0000 over
the previous year.
Il il estimated in banking circles that
the dividend and interest payments on
government, state, municipal, railroad
and other corporation securities pay
able on Jan. / viii be -s40O, 100000. The
new business offered to the New York
Life during 1901 is nearly equal to
these combined payments.
