HE WAS NOT A PREACHER.
Calling of Minister Determined a
Verdict in Divorce Suit-


Raney Hodges was granted first
verdict of total divorce from her hus-
band, Spencer Hodges. in the Superior
Court, yesterday morning. Spencer
didn't care to have the marital bonds
severed. but through he put up a good
preston made by the plaintiffs evil
dence upon the minds of the jurymen
and the verdict was granted
The case was not without its inter-
esting features, the calling of one Of
the witnesses playing an important
part in the result The plaintiff swore
and two witnesses testified in her be-
half that the conduct of her husband
towards her had been cruel and brutal
in the extreme, almost from the time
of their marriage, in 1891 Raney said
Spencer had continually kicked, cursed,
abused and beaten her. until, finally
life with him had become impossible.
1t was shown that on Feb. 20 of last
year her husband kicked her out of
the house in which she was then liv-
ing with him; that a few months later
he met her on the street, beat her
cruelty, knocked her down and left her
lying on the ground that on July l
he knocked her down with stick and
both threatened and tried to kill her.
The defendant put up vigorous and
emphatic denial of all the charges of
cruelty made against him, which he
announced as fabrications simple and
unadorned without a word of truth
in them. 1t was his contention that
Brother" Robert Hills, one of the wit
nesses for the plaintiff, who the evil
dence disclosed had lived in the house
i'm nd h xxifo was the r1rnXi-
mate cause of all the marital unhappi-
ness that had resulted.
Mr.. w. F. Slater, who appeared for
the defendant. tried hard to get
Brother Hills to confess than he was
a preacher, and that the plaintiff was
a member of his flock, but the witness
denied that this was a fact. He de-
MED it, indeed. with such indignant
earnestness that the jury was both
amused and impressed, and thereupon
returned the verdict in favor of the
plaintiff.

GOT TOO MUCH CHANGE.
Negro Passed So Railroad Check for
$40 and Was Arrested.

A flask of whiskey and $29.75 in ex-
change for a 50 Seaboard Air Line
check is a trade in which Levi Free
man, negro held a prisoner at the
police station house, is said to have
been the winner. The man was arrest
ed by Detective Murphy for working
the game on a West Side saloon man,
and is charged with larceny.
1t is alleged that some time ago
Freeman visited the bar and purchased
a bottle of whiskey for % cents He
rendered in payment a Seaboard Air
Line check for 50. and is said to have
stated that it was for $50. The sales
man only glanced at the figures and
handed his customer $29.75. Later he
discovered the mistake that he had
made and reported the matter at po-
lice headquarters. The negro claims
that the only check he cashed was for
$50, although the So paper is in the pos
session OF the detective. Freeman will
be given a preliminary examination by
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.

SUPPORTERS OF ESTILL.
Citizens of SandersviIIe EnIistinE
Under His Banner.

Maj. G. NJ. Ryals returned yesterday
morning from Sandersville, to which
he made a flying trip in the interest
of Col ]. H. Estill's candidacy for
Governor, much impressed with the
strength Col. Estill is steadily gain
ing in Washington county. .tt...-
An error as to time placed Maj. Ryals
in Sandersville a week ahead of the
day on which the Superior Court con-
vened and thus deprived him of the
opportunity to talk over political af-
fairs and candidates with the residents
of the country districts. He met, how
ever, a large number of the citizens
of the thriving and prosperous little
city of Sandersville and found existent
among them sentiment in favor Of
Col. Estill that could not be other
wise than gratifying to him.
Many of the best men of the town
are for him." said Maj. Ryals. land
even those who oppose him and who
say they are going to vote for Terrell
find ii difficult to give a reason for
their preference; they gave none, in
fact, worth mentioning. They could
not deny that Col. Estill is entitled to
the earnest support of Southern Geor-
gia, or that he is, of all the candidates.
the man most eminently fitted to be
Governor at this particular crisis in
the history of the state. I'm thinking
he'll get many a vote whose owner
now says and believes he is going to
vote for Terrell or Query.
Among the recent converts to the
Estill banner is the Mayor of Sanders
Vile and other of the most prominent
citizens of the town. They have not
been inactive and the result of their
influence is to be seen in the con-
stantly increasing number of Estill
supporters. l feel most canguine that
on election day Washington county
will be found in the right column"

PICTURE OF HER FATHER.
Was Inspected by Miss Mary Custis
Lee in City Exchange.

Lee IN city Exchange.
The painting of her father in the
Long Room at the City Exchange was
viewed yesterday by Miss Mary Gus
It's Lee. Miss Lee went to the Ex-
change with Mr.. C. Lucien Jones.
They were joined by Mr.. w. P. Bailey.
clerk of Council, who showed the cell
ebrated painting in the Long Room.
Miss Lee exclaimed with delight over
the picture, which she declared to be
the best she had ever seen of her faith
er. She asked what the background
and surroundings of the imposing mar
tial figure depicted, and was told that
it was the nights of Fredericksburg
Even the white war horse that Gen.
Lee rode was depicted by the artist
Miss Lee recalled the horse and was
glad to see it reproduced in the paint
ing.
The painting was the work of Mr..
John d. Elder of Richmond. 1t was
painted some thirty years ago, and the
artist received 1900 for the work. 1t
is generally conceded by artists to be
a fine piece of work.

A meeting of the special library COM
mittee of the City Council will be held
at the City Exchange this afternoon

made by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie to make

annually 10 per cent. of the amount of
his donation.
At the time the proposition was re-
ceived the Morning News published the
prediction of members of the commit

accepted, for the reason that the 10
per cent. basis was regarded as too
strong. This view is still entertained

DEBT CAUSED STABBlNG.
Negro Di1nt Pay WasbwOman
Promptly and Was Wounded.

Because he did not promptly pay his
bill for washing, Henry Small, a negro
employed as a deck hand on a private
yacht, was badly cut and nearly bled
to death yesterday afternoon.
His assailant was Victoria Batise
and the woman is held at the police
station house on a charge of assault
with intent to murder. The trouble
occurred on Hutchinsons Island and
the wounded negro was brought to
the city for treatment. 1t appears
that he was sitting on the wharf when
the woman appeared and demanded
the sum due her for washing Small S
clothes. He stated that he did not
have the amount with him and asked
her to wait little while. 1t is charged
that as a rejoinder the woman pulled
out knife and inflicted deep and
long cut on his leg. The prisoner will
be given a preliminary examination by
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.

PHONE men GUESS
Interested in Long Distance Wireless
Telephony -
OLA. ]. BOLEN, MUNCIE, INDIANA
Local Men Think He Has Perfected
Scheme Tried Here Some
- Time Ago. -".-5

Local telephone men are wondering
what scheme Arthur j. Bolen of Muncie,
Ind, has when he states that after years
of study he has invented a wireless tele-
phone system, and is to incorporate the
International Wireless Telephone COM
pany. ..-. .-s.- ...--
Wireless telephony is an old story in
Minneapolis, but it is thought that per-
haps Bolen has a scheme for operating at
longer distances than was possible here.
At the time of the local experiments the
limit was Fl miles. The first successful
attempt was made one Sunday at Powder
horn lake: another at Harriet vas inter
fered with by the induction from the
transit company's wires: third at the
Franklin avenue bridge, was very success
full Professor Sheoardson, of tho uni
yersity, was present at the latter test.
e. D. Cracroft of the Northwestern
Telephone exchange was interested in the
Minneapolis tests. J. c. Kelsey, now the
only professor Of telephony in the United
States, is at Purdue university. Graham
Reid, the other principal, is connected
with the construction companies in Chi
cago. 49, ..5 H.. 49,
Mr. Cracroft remembers the experiments
we'll. He said that they were taken up
by Mr.. Kelsey only for experiment. Moth
ing was done with the scheme is COM
mercial way. 1t was an elaboration OF
the method exploited by Sir Wllllam
Priestly of London the greatest authority
on the subje The Electrical Review
contained an article which interested the
| Minneapolis men. Their experiment was
the first in the northwest. Some time
later one was made in Paris and reported
in the press as the original discovery un-
| til, attention was called to the fact that
Minneapolis was way ahead in point OF
time. IL
Mr. Cracroft believes that Bolen must
have discovered some means of perfecting
the system so as to permit long distance
| telephoning without wires. Bolen intends
| to speak audibly from Muncie to the Ma
sonic Temple in Chicago without wires.

MUzzLES FOR DOGS
Unmuzzled CANNES Will Be Killed
on Sight After March IS.
IT'S so ORDERED BY THE MAYOR
His Action Prompted by the Fact
That Some Rabies

Beginning with March Is, owners of
dogs in Minneapolis will be required to
muzzle them, by order of Mayor Ames.
The city ordinance gives the mayor the
authority to issue an order to this effect
and enforce it after notice Of his in
tentions published three days in success
sion in the official paper. The mayors
order will apply, of course, only to such
dogs as are allowed to run at large. The
owner who keeps his dog at home and
give him exercise only at the end of a
chain is not concerned. 1t is made the
duty Of the police to enforce the
ordinance, and they are authorized to kill
all dogs running at large contrary to the
ordinance. . 1... ...., ~
The mayor is led to take this actor
because several persons have been bit.
ten by vicious or rabid dogs of late an(
by the fact that many unlicensed canine:
run the streets by days and make night:
hldeous in the residence sections.
Health Commissioner Hall recon
mended this action to the council few
weeks ago. The council did nothing, al
the mayor was the one to take the initia
tive and already had ample authority
There we're issued last year 4,4S2 dol
licenses. which, it is estimated, is abou

The mayor order, in full, is as follows

,Eustis Brothers to Leave Their
Present Quarters.
Omaha" ROAD TAKES THE ROOM
For City Ticket Omcc-C. H. Cirkler
Gets "a Sixth Street
Entrance.


Eustis Brothers. the jewelry merchants,
are to leave their place in the Pillsbury
building, Sixth and Nicollet. BY pecu-
liar coincidence they again make room for
railway ticket office. They moved from
the corner of Fourth and sNtcollet. TO
make way for the Milwaukee ticket once;
now they are to be succeeded by the
Omaha, which will establish it's city
ticket Office in the present Eustis store.
George Eustis states that the, hrm ex-
pected to remain in the Pillsbury build
ing at the old rental, which they con-
siderer high under prevailing rental con-
ditions. The Omaha gave up its seven
year lease in the old Barnum store to
enable Barnaby & Co. to enlarge and
was willing to pay higher rate In the
Pillsbury building; hence the change.
Eustis Brothers will join in the pro-
gression of business up Nicollet, but are
not ready to give out their new location.
The Omaha company has rented only
the front thirty-six feet of the corner
store. c. H. Cirkler has taken the rear
fifteen feet, which he will use as a Sixth
street entrance to his drug store. A great
deal Of Mr.. Cirkler's trade comes along
Sixth from Hennepin. By acquiring addi-
tional space he is able to provide a COM
modious entrance, doing away with the
walk around the corner. ~. e.
