LACK OF Love NO
DIVORCE BASIS
Justice Bischoff Waves Off
Poets and Rejects Gunther's
Plea for Separation Because
Wife Doesn't Love Him.

The dispute between wealthy Charles
v. Gunther and his wife. Helen Blood
good Gunther, as to the reliability of
love is not new. They are ighting 1t
out in the divorce courts. Mr.. Gunther
ASSERTING in n cross-suit to his wife's
application for divorce that the o she
bore him was counterfeit, or words 10
that effect. The learned Justice of the
Supreme Court. Bischoff. has held that
this is :iot ground for separation.
Whether or not love can be depended
upon is a question that has been dis
cussed at length by the poets, and
among them there is a divergence OF
opinion. Mr.. Gunther probably agrees
with Butler:
Love in your hearts as idly burns
As fire In antique Roman urns."
On the other hand. Mrs. Gunther ,ad-
heres TO the judgment Of the poet
Southey. who made the assertion;
Love is i~ndestructibie.
Its holy flame forever burneth.'
GuntIer May Indorsc Byron.
Byron. cynical and disappointed. was
nc doubt a poet much favored by Mr..
SuntHtT WHcn ne WAS uNluB UP u Ddsir
for separation from his wife. Perhaps
this passage from Byron appealed to
him:
ALAS. the love OF women! II IL known
To be a lovely and a fearful thing"
Mr.. Gunthor in his moving papers
asserts that his wife married him be-
cause she wished to obtain n better
standing in order la she might be
helped with her stage aspirations. She
had been promised the position of I'M
dcrstudy to Edna May. But Mr..
Gunther says thai he did not learn the
real cas- why Helen Bloodgood de-
sired to become Mrs. Gunther until af-
ter The wedding, and then these pass
ages appealed to him. The first is
from Dryden:
Fool not to know that love endures no tic
And love but laughs at lovers perjury"
The second Is from Nicholas Rowe:
AT length the morn. and cold indifference

Life in Prison, Is Convicted
Again.
WILL BE SENTENCED FOR
FIVE YEARS ON MONDAY.
Jury Was Out Only Fifteen Min
utes-Iustice AspinaIl Tells
Him He Is Not a Man but a
Thing.

James Gaffney. the Brooklyn wife
beater, who has spent sixteen OF the
t~wenty-four years of his married life
in Jail on charges of a%ssaulting his
long suffering spouse. was found guilty
in the County Court. BROOKLYN. to-day
Judge Asphalt. In setting Monday for
sentence. announced that he would give
Gaffney the limit. which is Ave years
IN prison and a fine OF $1,000.
CARNEY has been arrested time and
again on complaint OF his wife and has
been sent up from nearly every police
court In Brooklyn. While he was In
jnil his wife would move and seek to
hide herself. but with dcvllish ingenu-
ity he would discover her whereabouts
4 and compel her to lake him into her
house.
The poor woman would support hin
until his treatment became unbearable
when she would make complaint to tn,
police-or the ncighbors would do 1t foi
her. The terms spent in Jail appeared
to make Gaffney more vindlctive.
Fractured Her skull.
The last time he was discharged, after
serving n term extending I'VE months
he had dificulty in tracing his wife. bu'
he finally found her in williamsburg
She gave him money. and he got drunk
While in this condition he gave his W.T.,

arm was broken. her skull was crushed
in. what teeth she had left were knocked
cut and bruises covered her body.
Driven at last to resentment. Mrs.
Gafrney told the Magistrate before
whom her husband wasSarraigned the
pitiful story of her married existence.
Her recital took the case out of the
ordinary wife-beatinG class, and all the
officers OF the law connected with II
bent their efforts to have GanIney given
the limit OF punishment.
District-Attorney Clarke thought thai
perhaps he could sen Gaffney "a
prison for life under the habitual crimi.
nal act. This disposition of the man
was hoped for by the wife, whose life
Is not safe when he is ut large.
Quickly Found Guilty.
1t was found that he could not b,

WOMEN DEMAND BILL
FOR CLEAN CROSSINGS,

Among the public-spirited women
who either demand the enactment OF
The Evening Worlds ordinance re-
curing that car companies clear away
the snow and slush n cars lengt
from crossings. or who desire the re-
peal of the ordinance compelling street
cars to stop at the near crossing, Is
| Mrs. Lola d. Hamilton. of No. Isl
! West Ninety-third street. She has not
only called upon the Mayor to urge the
repeal OF the near side stopping
! ordinance. but has also followed her
visit with a letter to the Mayor de-
handing the repeal of the ordinance
or the adoption of the one proposed
by The Evening World. In her letter
to the Mayor Mrs. Hamilton says:
Hon. George b Mcclellan. Mayor. City
of New York.
Dear Safeguarding the new street :
car ordinance. which requires all surface
cars to stop ut near instead of far cross
Ing. It is surely very inconvenient caus-
ing passengers to alight ut the present
time in snow drifts. and will atsall times
subject them to danger from vehicles
which crowd the main thoroushfares.
The policemen who are now stationed at
the crossings will be OF little service and
protection to ladies' who are unceremoni-
iously dumped into the street at a point
fifty feet from where the policeman
stands. / sincerely trust that the Board
OF Aldermen, will at the first oppor-
tunity repeal the ordinance referred to-.
or adopt the one suggested requiring
that the car companies clear away the
snow from each crossing for the space of
one cars length. and 1 will personally
thank you for your influence TO secure q,
such remedy. Yours very truly.
LOLA d.. HAMILTON.
Mrs. Benjamin Hamilton. No. col West

Mayor Mcclellan said that Mrs. Ham
iltcn's request would be given every
consideration and that her letter would
be sent to the Board OF Aldermen for
immediate action.
similar prompt action will be taken
with the communications OF n other
person who favors the repeal or
adoption of any ordinance looking to
the general good of h community"

markable memory. From what 1 learned
OF the amount OF work performed at this
consulate I am convinced that a reform
bill. introduced by Senator Lodge and
which has the backing not only of the State
Department and the President, but OF many
boards OF trade. placing the diplomatic and
consular service under the civil service
law should be passed. There has been
much loss of trade. besides putting Amer
lean diplomats at disadvantage, by the
frequent changes in the service. The dip
lOmatic and consular service requires the
highest type of men, and those who have
not private fortunes cannot afford to take
such offices on account of the small salaries
and liability to change every four years.
Let the service be permanent and its tone
win be raised and a better class of men
obtained. Where there is a good man let
him be kept where he Is efficient and given
an opportunity for promotion.
This will incite him to his best efforts, and
the government and the country will be the
gamers. Then. too. the salary list should
be readjusted. and the cities abroad where
