first wife, Mary Agnes Fritz, secured
a divorce from him on the ground OF
cruelty, finds that he does not like the
position OF a male Trilby and wants a
divorce. He has filed a suit for divorce,
charging his present wife, Jennie, with
cruelty and inidelity. In connection
with the last charge he says that she
has been cOnsorting with one Frank
NOrce Of S2s Alabama street. In sup
port Of his charge OF cruelty he says
that Mrs. Fritz No. ? led him merry
dance from the very day she became
his wife. He alleges that just as soon
as she became Mrs. Fritz, or, IN other
words. had him properly Svengalized.
he commenced to suffer. She called
him all sorts Of names and abused him
roundly IN the presence Of his patients
and on two occasions visited his Office
and wrecked the place.
II the complaint contains a list Of
al Of Mrs. Fritz's alleged acts Of cruel
ty she did not treat him nearly as bad

threatened her life with chair, and
that she had been compelled to seek
police protection from his brutality.
The court also found that Fritz had
taken $3.50, all his wife's savings. and
gone off on a good time leaving her
and their four children destitute. The
judgment roll in the case also shows
that after Mrs. Fritz had secured q
divorce. the doctor failed 10 comply

EXPENSIVE DEARS.
The Kind That Are Fond of Fine
Clothes and other Articles
of Adornment.

The fish commission in San Francisco is
frequently in receipt OF ridiculous commu.
ncations from people of the interior who
have vague ideas OF the functions of the bu-
reau, says local exchange. A retired
merchant from one of the hill towns, de-
string to devote his spare ti:le to the study
of zoology, sent the following letter OF
inquiry to Prof. Charles A. Vogel ing:
Il am interested in natural histt and
want to get hold of dear for SCI tihc
purposes. Do you know where | car NY
one? If so, get good one and expr. it
in box C. o. d., together with per

varieties, will do. l will pay all ex'
penses."
After pondering over the communication
for some time Herr VogelSang dispatched
the following reply:
"Dears of all kinds are abundant in this
neck of the woods, and if You are not par
ticular Us to color or breed | can easily
comply with your request. Most of then
wcaid object, however, to being sent in 0

GEN. WOODS CASE.
Rny Stannard Baker Tes;ihes Con.
cerning the Magazine Article Iso-
hecting Upon GEN. Erooke's Admin.
istraIIon of Cuban Affairs.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate
committee on military affairs yester-
day resumed its hearing in connec-
ton with charges filed against Gen.
Leonard Wood in opposition to his
confirmation as major general.
Ray Stannard Baker, the man
whom Maj. Runcie said was at the
dinner with Gen. Wood and himself
when the proposed magazine article
criticising Gen. Brooke was discussed,
was witness.
Mr.. Baker confirmed some portions
of the testimony of Maj. Runcie and
contradicted or qualified other por-
tions of it. He denied that there had
been any consultation between him
self and Gen. Wood relative to the
publication of Runcie's article re-
fccting upon the administration of
Gen. Brooke. He said, however, that
he had talked with Gen. Wood re-
garding an article which was subse-
quently published over his own sigma
ture.
Concerning the article which was
published over the signature of Maj.
Runcie, Mr.. Baker said it had been
given him by Runcie, but that so far
as he knew Gen. Wood had had no
knowledge of it previous to its publi-
cation. lie said he had taken dinner
with Gen. Wood and Runcie several
times at Santiago, but that the pub
lication of an article attacking Gen.
Brooke had never been the subject
