LIFE WAS AN ETERNAL WASH
DAY FOR MRS. SADIE LYTLE

This he dinned into the plaintiff's
ears day and night, calling in his
male associates to aid him in saw

night sometimes. and at other times
getting up in the night and calling
in his fool friends to join him in
trying to save the plaintiff from the

The couple we're married at Fern
Hill in 1897 and have not lived to-

Sadie A. Lytle seeks a decree of
divorce from William D. Lytle, on
the grounds of cruel and unreason-
able conduct and failure to provide.
The complaint is most peculiar
one and states that the defendant is
what might be called an 'ism
chaser" and that during the San
ford-Shiloite craze he imbibed to the
full of the pernicious teachings of
that "wolf in sleeps clothing" and
made life on eternal wash day" for
plaintiff, insisting that, because she
would not Zine" the deluded set he
had lined up with, she was "harlot
of hell" and doomed to eternal
damnation."

Gamblers Want to Know.
The publication of the facts in the

know that they are not paying more

Baldie'S Graft.
The question of the money slot
machines which are owned by F. Fl.
Baldie has been a widely discussed
topic. The Times stated that approx
mately 1876 of these machines are
now in operation, and that the fine
per month is generally supposed TO
be $40 for each slot. The evident
fines collected from this source, how
ever, for the month of July, instead
of being $3.50, amounted to less
than $500.

The San Francisco call., 1904-06-10

The work of discharging the Pa
cific Mail Company's freighter Algoa
is proving an operation of great diff
ficulty owing to the fact that the wet
ting of the cargo has caused it to
swell. The result of this swelling has
been to jam together the freight in
the loweE hold until it has become one
solid chunk of merchandise. Each bale
and box has to be pried out with crow
bars, assisted by all sorts of tackle
and in many cases, as soon as re-
leased. the package has burst apart
with a loud report and scattered its
contents in every direction.
In addition to increasing the labor
of unloading, this unexpected expan-
sion will add materially to the ex-
tent of the damage to the cargo. No
attempt will be made to estimate this
until all the freight is on the wharf.
Ii probably will be much greater than
at first expected.
Stevedores worked all night Wednes-
day and last night loading the Siberia.

ent with a full cargo. The work of
