Once upon time young man fell
desperately in love with a girl who
consumed many sweets, as also many
after-theater suppers, at his expense.
He gave her numerous presents and
spent large proportion OF his sal

Finally they were married, and aTsu-
BILE began, for the man could not spend
as much on his wife as he had sa his
fiancee. Then she treated him sruelly
and in an unwifely manner, and he
brought suit for divorce from her.

decreed that he should pay costs and
alimony.

VANDERBILT TAKES
FAST RIDE IN THE DARK
To Test Smoke Device He Mounts to
the Greasy Cab Seat and Plunses
Through the Niaht.

NEW YORK, Oct Elm the CRIME
and grease of the cab of engine No. 1874
Of the Manhattan Elevated Railroad
company, long since relegated to the
oblivion of the yard, Cornelius Wander
bilt last night rode from One Hundred
and Fourth street down Ninth avenue
to the Battery and back again to Fifty
ninth street, where he abandoned the
trip to participate in the drill of Com
pany G, of the Twelfth regiment, in
which he holds the Office of first lieu
tenant.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was inspecting new
device in which he is financially inter-
ested, and which he claims will revolu-
tionize the present system Of firing To-
comotives. Accompanying him in the
dingy recesses of the engine were e.
A. Willard, wellknown yachtsman;
George Morrison, local dispatcher Of
the elevated railroad system, and Ed
ward e. Pettee, one of Mr.. Vanderbilt's
consulting engineers.
The inventor of the device, which is
smoke and spark burning apparatus,
is w. S. Hughes, of Philadelphia.
1t became known last night that this
device had been in active operation on
the elevated road for a month, and soft
coal has been it's fuel without any Of
the usual Objectionable features. 1t
has been the only soft coal burning en-
CINE on any of the lines of the system
during that time, and proved it's worth
satisfactorily.
1t maintains it's full pressure of
steam equal to those burning anthra-
cite coal, with an entire absence of the
smoke which has been the usual disa-
greeable concomitant Of soft coal loco
motives. There was, too, an entire alb
sence of sparks from the funnel.
Mr.. Vanderbilt boarded the locomo-
tive at the One Hundred and Fourth
street station shortly after o'clock
and seated himself in the hot and dirty
cab, where he could witness the per-
Torrance of the engine and also OBJ
serve the operation of the smoke con-
sumner in all it's phases.
The trip to the Battery was made
ahead Of schedule time, while Mr.. Van
derbilt peered here and there about the
engine and scrutinized all it's working
parts. He discovered at once-what
had escaped the notice of his COM
panions-that the coal was not in a
condition which would give the best
results. Interrogating the engine
driver and firemen, he learned that the
| fuel had been washed by the recent
storms for several days.
II will show you," he said, "how its
condition operates against the most
successful demonstration of the de-
vice." r-o.s.
He instructed the fireman to throw
into the fire some of the Jumps, instead
