Mrs. M. Perrault of Farley
Tells Why She Left Her
Unhappy Home.
REPORT THAT SUIT BROUGHT
BY HUSBAND is UNTRUE.
Complaints Alleges That PerrauH
Beat His Wife and Left Her
InsenSible.

The case of Perrault VS.. Per
rault, which will come up for
trial at the coming term of court
was brought by Mrs. Perrault,
instead of Mr.. Perrault, as here.
tofore stated upon information
given out by that gentleman. Ac-
cording to the complaint, as given
out by the attorney for the wo.
man, Perrault on April II last
entered a house in Farley in
which his wife was takingvefuge
from him and broke open the
door, catching his wife by the
hair and dragging her across a
block over stumps and logs and
beating her in the meanwhile 50
that when some Of the neigh bors
who heard her cries for help in
tervened the woman was insensi
able.
These facts, while they cannot
be considered as absolutely reli-
able, put an entirely differen,
phase upon the matter and prove
that Perrault is not the immacu-
late angel which he pretends to
be, even though the actions of
his wife for the past year have
not been what it would be con-
sidered those of a perfect house
wife.
Mrs. Perrault arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon ia order
to be ready to appear at the trail
of the case. The story to the
effect that she went to Oregon
with a Bemidji gentleman is
denied by her and she claims
that she has been canyassing the
towns in the Red River valley
for the past months in order to
obtain a living for herself.

4 HEART TRUE TO SMITH.

Some things can happen in Missouri as well as in Kansas Mrs. Moke Smith. of Calwood. Galloway county. has perhaps had the most varied and remarkable matrimonial career of any woman in Missouri. Her life shows what may be accomplished under the mar riage and divorce laws of the State by woman who is active. industrious and not slow about falling in love or falling out again. Mrs. Smith has just been married for the third time. Her maid en name was Fanny Tarrance. Her first husband was Moses Shaffer. After living with Moses awhile. she got tired os him. secured divorce and married Moke Smith. Firing of Moke, she got a divorce from him and united herself with Ferd AItheiser. Alter she had lived with Ferd awhile. she concluded Moke was a better fellow than she had thought, and she left Ferd and was re- married to Moke. Firing of Moke a sec ond time, she again separated herself from him, and in dne course of time was welded to J. H. Berry. Berry, however. suited her no better than shaffer. or Smith, or Altheiser, and she soon left him. Not long asterward she was re- married to Berry. only to soon weary os him and get a second divorce from him. Now she is trying Mole again. l Brother Smith so far seems to have the real heart of Mrs. Shaffer-Smith-Al- theiser-Smith- Berry -Berry-smith. We congratulate him.

What he especially wanted to stop was the abominable practice of casting out the dead bodies of plague victims into the streets to avoid medical investiga- tions. Then the pleasant discovery was made that about one-fourth of the rats in the native city were infected with plague germs. and he offered a re- ward for all dead rats. with a tag at tached to show in what house they were caught. Then the rats were examined, and if they had plague germs in them the house which they had frequented was promptly disinfected. A little later he found out that the rat catchers were levying blaekmail right and left. They simply tied to the rats the addresses of Chinamen who would not pay for ex- emption. If householder refused to be bled they put plague rats to his ac- count. and in due course his house was ransacked by the sanitary corps. Soon it became almost impossible to catch any rats in the city. because all the householders combined to wreck all the traps, But this did hot checknate the rat eatchers. who simply imported rats from the country which they resold to Sir Henry at a vast profit.
 If the Chinese were as good as they are smart they wouldn't need the missionaries we send them.

4 NAW HAVEN PROTEST.

Distinguished citizens of New Haven who are not afraid to be called little Americans etc., etc, have reminded the United States senate that there is a recognized body of laws which ought to govern the conduct of nations; that the
 law is uniform, not one for the strong
 and another for the weak. but the same for all; that belief has arisen in the minds of many in this country and abroad that in our relations with the State of Colombia we have acted with undue haste; that we have violated and are about to violate the rules of inter- national law; and that we are adopting a line of conduct towards that&country which we would not take against a stronger power; that thesfact that Co., lombia, owing to it's comparative weak
 ness, is powerless to resist, demands of
 us the more caution to avoid the sus-
 picion that we are making an unjust

1RTCK cHIAAME ES.

The heathen Chinee knows a trick or two. Sir Henry Blake, the English governor of Hong Kong, has been find- ing this out for himself lately. Some time ago he thought it would be good idea to interest the Chinese in the work of sanitation. Plague has been rife in the native city for ten years and cleanliness is the only cure for it. But the Chinese would rather die than have their homes disinfected. So Sir Henry proposed that special committees of natives and Englishmen should be ap- pointed to assess any damage done by sanitary inspectors and pay for it.

AS GOOD AS ASy.

There is talk of danger to our tor pedo boat destroyers ill making the trip to the Philippines by way of the Suez canal, but they ought to get there safely It is pointed out that Russia, Germany and Great Britain have de- stroyers in Chinese waters, which reached their destinations through the Suez canal and sixteen Of Japans twenty-one destroyers were built in England, while more than half of her torpedo boats. which are, of course, much smaller, were construct ed in European ship yards. It is true that none of these torpedo ves- sels were compelled to make as long a trip as that which ours are now attempting, but all of Brazil's, Ar- gentina's and Chile's torpedo boats and destroyers were built in Europe and have successfully crossed the ocean. Moreover, one of Argentina S destroyers, the Entre Rios, of 2S0 tons, which was completed in England in 1896, steamed from St. Vincent to Buenos Ayres, a distance of 4,000 knots. without stopping for coal. She carried on starting from St. Vincent 145 tons of fuel, fifteen tons of which were remaining when she arrived at the Rio de Ia Plata. The Entre Rios is a 190~foot boat, with breadth of 19.e feet. and her coal bunkers hold only eighty tons. Our boats, which have fifty per cent. larger displacement than the Argentine vessel, are 245 feet long and 2S.7 feet in width, and carry 139 tons of coal in their bunkers.
 United States torpedo boat destroyers can probably go anywhere anybodys torpedo boat destroyers can go.

Baron Diest, an intimate friend of the late Prince Bismarck, has just publish ed some "reminiscences of the Iron Chancellor of special interest to Amer jeans. When once on a visit to Dant- sic, where he was entertained by the merchant princes, MT. Bancroft, the American Minister at Berlin, replied in German to the toast of his health, as proposed in English, explaining that he made point of speaking only German while he was in Germany. But" said the baron, II have often heard you speaking English with Bismarck. ? "Yes, replied the historian diplomatist, but that is quite different matter, for Bisnarck's way of expressing him. self in English is so instructive, from d linguistic point of view, and he uses so mary wonderful adjectives, that I have never attempted to deprive myself of the pleasure of hearing him speak Eng fish" The truth is that Bismarck s English had been mainly drawn from Shakespeare, while most of his modern familiar idioms, such as half seas over,' and the like, he had acquired from his early intercourse with the late Sir John Astley, of sporting fame, who
