PHOEBE WANTS DIVORCE.
Wife of Howard Appleton Brown Will
Wed Boston millionaire.

Boston, June Mrs. Howard Apple
ton Brown is about to begin suit for
divorce upon statutory grounds against
her husband, the noted Boston whip
son of the late J. Howard Brown. Young
Mrs. Brown, who was for two months
before her marriage seven years ago "A.
member of the Babes in the Wood
company, is now a bridesmaid in the
Chinese Honeymoon
The suit is a sequel of Mr.. Browns
alleged failure to live up to an agree
ment said to have been entered into a
year ago, by which he was to pay his
wife 81, 200 a year to avert legal pro-
eeedings for nonsupport-
Mrs. Brown acknowledges that when
the decree Of divorce is granted she will
wed a Boston millionaire, a relative of
the Vanderbilts- She declines to say
who she VIII name as correspondent.
Mr. Brown, who left this country last
November, and who is said to have
lived all winter in. Paris, is believed to
be in New York Several persons are
said to have seen him there within a
month.
Those who profess to know say that
the climax of the domestic drama was
two years ago at the Wayside Inn, to
which Mr.. Brown drove his coach, the
Cricket" for a season. There was a
scene, il is said, and it was noted that
after that Mrs. Brown was missing
from her seat on the box beside her
husband. Several times she had driven
the coach to or from the inn. and had
ridden with him after the hounds.
It might be supposed that the son Of q
millionaire, himself all but millionaire
in his own name-the estate is valued at
that figure-would be a member of one
or more of the leading clubs. But al
though he was sometimes a guest he
was a member of none.
Just before his departure for Europe
last autumn, a year after separating
from his wife, Mr.. Brown sold his horses
and announced his intention OF making
/ New York his legal home.
Mrs. Brown, who was Phoebe Dun
ming of Norfolk, Va. when she became
a Babe in the Wood" being left with
out support, turned back to the stage
to seek a livelihood.

about the presence of gamblers were of
the vaguest sort and that he had not
been invited to play by such.

Charles JOsIin Tells of the
Situation There.

Charles Joslin. a travelling man who
lives here. was at Council Grove Thurs
day and Friday during the flood and

south side of Main street was burned.

and the pOstoffice. He says the water
was five feet deep in the Cottage hotel

Ann Arbor. Mich, June Professor
B. NJ. Thompson. oldest member of the

been severely criticised for saying that
only dishonest politicians get rich while
in office but he stands firmly by his
position. Many politicians do get rich,
he says, but on the salaries they are
paid it is evident that their wealth
must come from outside sources. The
people have cut down the salaries at

To Contest Leo,s Will.

ROME, Aug. 1l.-Something of a
sensation has been caused by the at
titude Of the late popes nearest rela-
tiye-the son Of his elder brother
who declares his intention to contest
the dead pontiff's will He calls him
self simply NJ. Pecci, as disregarding
his title Of count and declaring that
titles only fit for vain people. He is
in poor circumstances and earns a
living by selling Goals and doing a
little poaching. 1t seems that the
nephew attempted to see his uncle
before he died, but was forcibly eject.
ed from the vatican He now AYERS
that he intends, together with his
lawyer, to make fight for his rights.
He is not going, he says, to die Of
hunger, and against the express wish
of the late pope, will contest the will,
because. he maintains, that the money
of the deceased belongs not TO the
church, but to the pope's own family.
