MRS. VROOMAN IS
GRANTED A. DIVORCE
Wife of the Socialist Promoter Col.
Iapses in Court.

TRENTON, Mo-, June 13-Mrs.
Vrooman, wife Of Walter Vrooman, the
noted socialist promoter Of co-opera-
tive colonies and founder Of Ruskin
college, England, was granted a divorce
here today. Mrs. Vrooman later COL
lapsed. The evidence indicated that.
Mr.. Vrooman had declared he would
marry woman whose name was cited
IN the petition. Vrooman's ATTORNEYS
presented instructions to withdraw
from the case. Mrs. Vrooman was a
Miss Grafflin; and belongs to a prom
tnent Baltimore family. Her maiden
name was restored. She has been
much interested in philanthropic work
and is said to have expended over
$250,000 in Mr.. Vrooman's schemes.
Mrs. Vrooman, on the stand said
that she was married to Walter Vroo-
man at Baltimore in 1897, and had lived
with him until March 81, 1903, when,
she said, she learned that he had been
living with a young woman who had
worked for him in New York. John w.
Bridenthal, former bank commissioner
of Kansas, testified that Mr.. Vroo-
man had told him that he expected
to marry the correspondent as soon as
the way was clear.
Mr.. Vrooman started out in his ca
reer as a reformer when he was 16
years old. While making a campaign
in the East he met and married Miss
Graff1in, an heiress. Soon thereafter
Vrooman started the Western Co-ope-
rative company at Trenton and Ruskin
college which latter was moved recent
ly to Glen Ellen, near Chicago, and
has passed from his control. His plan
was to reform the business world by a
system Of cooperation.

accident
While Bowling and Collins were
timbering the mine, a portion of the
pump gave way, allowing boiling wa

been standing, both heroes sprang into
the boiling flood. The water was up
to their knees. How they stood the

warning that saved the party from

men will, in all probability, be Grip

SWEET SEVENTEEN.
Sweet Twenty-one Has Taken Its Place
to Stay.

A well known man of letters has re-
Gently made savage journalistic assault
on the ideal known as sweet seventeen"
He charges that lovely maiden with being
selfish, awkward, false and greedy, and
altogether uninteresting. 1t is hardly like
" that his attack win result in material
ly reducing the number of maidens Of sweet
sixteen; all girls. and indeed all boys,
must be seventeen some time, and con-
tinue so for a wear. Nor will young la
dies OF that age nave worse time than
at present..
Seventeen is fact; sweet seventeen Is
a dream. Many years ago the dream had
a basis Of reality. A girl was often en-
gagged at sixteen, married at eighteen;
she was the object of matrimonial Specu
lation at seventeen, if ever; and if not
married by twenty considered herself in
danger of becoming an old maid. Abe had
not filled her mind up with the varied
lumber of a higher education; she had
some little accomplishments and some
knowledge of housekeeping, and the rest
was romance. She was innocent of hook
ey and cricket, of house matches and To-
cal examinations, and she did not take
in boys magazines or then safer femi-
nine limitations.
But we have changed all that. The
damsel Of seventeen is now generally
at school; her enthusiasm is for games
and examinations, not for an engaging
sutton or grand ball. The improve
ments In sanitation and medicine have
period of vigor in both sexes. The aver
age age Of marriage has steadily risen
In the weather and more cultured
classes Worldly prudence and selfishness
as well as science and natural develop
ment have almost extinguished the very
young wife except in the cases OF princes,
whose alliances are dictated by politics,
and paupers, whose unions are brought
about by recklessness. The heroine of the
present is rarely younger than two or
three and twenty. and she may extend
to thirty-iv without losing the respect
OF the author.
In this age of newspapers the remark
able Innocence and ignorance of convent
bred girls is not to be maintained even
in a convent school Sweet sixteen has

adequate, and taken from books. This
would matter much If she We're brought
into society and encouraged to mix with

TRAGEDY AGAIN DESCRIBED.
King and Queen Lived Over an Hour
After Beinu Shot,

SEMLlN, Hungary, June 13.-An in
innate friend of Avakumovics, new
premier of the Servian provisional
government, gives the following ac-
count Of the tragedy in Belgrade:
Six weeks ago one of the officers. in
the secret service warned the king: of
what was going on, when all the Off
GERS in question were transferred to
points in the interior, the king fearing
to take stronger measures against
them About the same time a certain
woman was sent to Geneva to see
Prince Kara Georgevitch and submit
to him a proposal that he go to SerVfa
as king, on condition that he pro-
mote liberal principles. Prince Peter
assented to this. The leaders then re-
solved to kill King Alexander and
Queen Draga. Col. Maschin was the
leader of the conspiracy.
Officers came to Belgrade from in
terror points on the night of the
tragedy and supped together at the
Supperisch Kro restaurant, where the
final details were arranged. At mid
night they proceeded from the restau-
rant to the palace and forced the doors.
When the officers entered they could
find nobody. (Here the search for the
king and quen is narrated. as already
published)
"The king fell on his knees, promis-
ing to leave the country, surrender all
documents or to send Queen Draga.
aWay-anything everything-if they
would not kill him. The officers an
swered roughly that it was too late.
They then shot him.
Queen Draga begged for mercy. but
1t was not needed. One Of the con-
sp1rators, after submitting the queen
to gross 1ndignfttes. slashed her with
his sword, and the other officers fired
at her. The king was also slashed with
saDerS. The conspirators then dragged
the king and queen into the front
apartments and threw them oyer the
balcony, on the lawn In front Of the
palace, which is separated from the
street by an open iron fence. The
king and queen lived for one hour and
half afterwards.
A young Bohemian came to Bel
grade and took lessons in cooking. He
came one day to his teacher, a widow.
IN a Jub1lant state. and stated he was
earning l62 dubaren a month The
same evening, while preparing a dish
Tor the king, he mixed poison with
the food. The head cook detected him
and promptly informed the king. The
youth was shot immediately His par-
ents were brought to the palace and
told the facts, and were compeIled.

Since the tragedy the youths parents

Since the first excitement Belgrade
is unusually quiet"
Ihe Monday meeting Of the schupt-
china, it is said, will be merely formal
and Prince Kara Georgevitch will be
elected king. The new king is exDect-
ed to arrive on Tuesday.
