ELOQUENT HANDS
PLEAD To COURT
Hattie Starke, a Mute,
Tells Tale of Woe
to Graham.
Judge Grants Her a Divorce
on the Ground Of
Neglect.

With hands stiffened by toll and seam
ed with burrows caused by the incessant
use of the needle and thread, Hattie
Starke, a mute, told a tale of woe in
Judge Graham's court yesterday that
earned for her a legal separation from
John II. Starke, an employe of the Amer
ican Biscuit Company. They were elo-
Quent hands. these hands OF Mrs. Starke's,
despite their stiffness and roughness.
Through an interpreter they told how she
met and married Starke in Petaluma in
1882 and how short time after the birth
of their boy, now youth of IA years,
Starke commenced neglecting her. They
told how she suffered for the necessaries
of life, though her husband earned sal
ary OF 800 a month, and how, for the
sake of her child, she put up with 1t all
until patience ceased to be virtue. Her
hands told how she finally left her hus-
band and sought employment as a seam
stress in the Eureka laundry in order that
she and her child might enjoy at least
the necessaries of life. Judge Graham
granted her divorce on the ground Of
neglect and made an order directing her
husband, who is not a mute, to pay her
SIC a month out of his earnings.
Catherine L,annes. wife of John p. Ian
mes, a saIoon-keeper at 527 Clay street,
filed a suit for maintenance against her
husband yesterday. She asks the court
to compel him to pay her $50 a month.
She alleges that she was compelled to
, leave him on the 18th inst. because she
feared he would take her life, which, she
alleges, he threatened to do, and that
since that time he has not provided for
her.
Divorces were granted yesterday to LII
liam Manners from Arthur c. S. s. Man
ners for cruelty, and Mary A. Simpson
from Frank c. Simpson for neglect. The
marriage of Frank D. Cooney and Jennie
V. Cooney was annulled Suits for divorce
were also filed by Annie Doyea against
Frank Doyea for neglect and Antoinette

CREATES SCENE
On THE STREET
Edward Beal Of Alameda
Threatens to Kill
His Wife.

Edward II. Beal, the Southern Pacific
gateman who lured Ida Brown of Oak
land away from her home a few days
ago and who narrowly missed taking
himself out of the world with a dose of
carbolic acid when his wife deserted him
as a result of his wrongdoing, has sue
ceeded in getting himself into more trou-
bic. The police now want him on charges
OF disturbing the peace and threats to
kill.
Yesterday morning Beal met his wife,
accompanied by her father. in front of
the Emma Spreckels building on Market
street and created a scene. He had
learned that Mrs Beal was preparing to
institute proceedings for a divorce and
the knowledge filled him with anger
When he saw her he rushed up with
clenched fist and demanded an explana-
ton. MIR. Corder the father of Mrs. Beal,
attempted to induce the husband to be-
have himself, but in vain. A crowd
quickly gathered, but the enraged man,
nothing daunted continued his TRADE.
"You win never get a divorce from me, .
he shouted to his wife; Il will kill you
first. Your father and mother have been
poisoning your mind against me, but it's
no use I'll cut the throats of the whole
lot of you If 1 have to swing for 1t unless
you come back to live with me-" Then
he raked over the family linen and in
dulged in the most obscene and bias
phemous language.
An officer was summoned, but Beal took
warning and escaped in the crowd. His
wife was completely overcome with fright
and had to take considerable time to re-
vive sufficiently to proceed to the Hall
Of Justice She would not leave her
fathers side for an instant, and declared
that she was in deadly fear for her life.
Her husband, she said, would hesitate at
nothing and would carry out his threats
If he should see her again. Police Judge
Mogan issued a warrant for the mans
arrest and officers were Immediately sent
in search of him.
Beal was employed by the Southern Pa
cific Company and was stationed at the
Oakland mole up to a few weeks ago.
He became acquainted with Ida Brown
who is said to be weak mentally, and
took her to a cheap lodging house in
Oakland, where she remained two nights
and then came to this city. The
Brown girls mysterious disappearance
aroused a considerable amount of public
interest. She was found working as a
domestic at a house in the Mission a
few days later and the excitement SUBJ
sided.
When Beals wife learned of his dis
graceful actions she left him and came
to live with her parents in this city at
Boardman place. He Immediately swal-
lowed some carbolic acid with suicidal
intent, but physicians got hold of him in
time to save his life. Mrs. Beal deter
mined to get a divorce and was on her
way to consult an attorney yesterday
morning when intercepted by her hus-
band. Mrs. Beal's suit for divorce was
filed yesterday afternoon.

LADY, Chimney Sweeps.

For startling innovations, especially
in the woman's sphere of activity,
Russia runs America very hard The
latest move in this direction is chron-
icled in the St. Petersburg Press
The daring innovator is the widow Of

leaving half dozen olive branches,
all of them girls. Necessity, which is
the mother of invention, has now in
spired this thoughtful woman to take
to her husbands calling, and in order
to do the thing thoroughly while she
is about it. she means to form a whole
guild of female sweeps, if the police
grant the needed permission By way
of assistants, or, as Lamb termed
them, "unfledged practitioners" she
processes to train up girls between
the ages of and IL, while the full
blown members of the guild would in
clude girls and women from Il to 35.
The first appearance of these novel

Peter an Unlucky Name.

The Christian name of Peter has
never been fashionable among mon
archs. England, for example, has
never had monarch baptized as
Peter, and in other countries the
Peters have been unlucky. Peter, or
Pedro, l., emperor of Brazil, abdicated
after an uneasy reign. and his son,
Pedro H., was driven to Europe by a
revolution and died in Paris in 1891.
Pedro the Cruel or CASTLE and Leon
was slain by his brother in single com
bat. Peter the Great of Russia was
guilty OF of frightful excesses, his
grandson, Peter H., reigned only three
years and died Of smallpox at the age
of fifteen. Peter III. was dethroned
and strangled by conspirators Peter

a Remarkable Lake.

There is a lake on Kildin island,
near the coast of Russian Lapland,
which is composed of both salt and
fresh water The island is a palace
zoic rock, separated from the granite
continent by an arm of the sea, and
upon it is a lake which seems to be
entirely shut off from the sea by a
strip of land; but there must be some
subterranean communication, for the
tides of the sea are noticed in the
lake, though in much diminished eff
feet.
The lake contains three different
kinds of water. On the surface it is
fresh water, coming from a few
brooks and from the rainfall; lower
down it is salt water, and at the bot
tom seawater mixed with sulphur
Gus hydrogen gas. The lake contains
fresh water fish on and near the sur
face, and salt water fish beneath.

HARMONY LOST FOR EVER
Unfortunate Occurrence That Caused
Insanity of Musician.

Among the lot of inmates at the
asylum the most conspicuous was a
long-haired man, who sat by the win.
dow drumming his fingers excitedly on
the window sill, as If playing a piano.
What was the cause OF his aberra-
tion?" | asked of the keeper. His Is
peculiar case" was the answer.
He is a German musician. He was
In Hackensack once, playing the
piano. Mosquitoes were thick; they
got on his music sheet and he unob-
servedly played the mosquitoes for
notes. The harmonies resulting were
more beautiful than any he had ever
heard before. He became enraptured,
but the mosquitoes few away and q
repetition was impossible. Ever since
then he has been seeking for the
combination. but cant find It. It was
the lost chord.
