DIVORCE CASE WITH CON-
PLlCATIONS
MONEY and CHILDREN
Had Both From Their
Former Marriages.

Mary McFarren, Of Wilmot, has sued
George McFarren of Justus for divorce
This is one of the cases in which
no alimony is asked. The wife states
in her petition that they were married
in 1896 and that two years later the
husband left her and went to live
with his own relatives. She charges
willful absence and failure to provide.
The case is one that has peculiar fea-
lures. When they were married she
was a widow with two children and he
q widower with four. Both were
wealthy. The marriage was not con-
genial and he left in 1897 and they
have not lived together since. Shortly
after the husband lett, Mrs. McFarren
sued him for alimony, but after the
case had been carried to the circuit
court alimony was refused. The hus-
band alleged in his defense at that
time that she ordered him away from
home. The hearing of the alimony
case disclosed the fact that before they
we're married they had agreed that
each one should retain their own
money for their own children, and it
was found that McFarren had trans
ferred his property before the mar
riage, with the exception that he was
to get certain amount each year from
his sons who held the property.
IT is said that the husband will fight
this case and try and prevent the wife
securing a divorce. Both the parties
are we'll up in years. Mrs. McFarren
asks that the court after granting her
divorce restore her to her former
name of Mary Gongaware. Attorney
James A. Rice is counsel for the plain
tiff

PET AVERSlONS.
Most Folks Have Unreasonable Dis
likes.

eve are all born with an aversion
to something, and this aversion is a
thing we can no more correct than
we can fly by merely beating on the
atmosphere with our hands" Mr.
George Mcpherson informs us.
History is rich in the account of
such instances. There is Vincent,
the painter, who would faint If the
odor of a rose was waited to his nos
trils, and the great German sports
man Vaugheim would become posi-
lively i'll if he even saw a bit of
roast pig. These ayersions, often so
entirely unaccountable, are curious
interested in the subject a year or
so ago, and have since that time
been quietly adding to my store of
information on this somewhat un-
usual topic by personal inquiries
among my friends and acquaintances.
mot one of them did l find without
his pet aversion, for the existence of
which he could give no good reasons.
Generally the aversion was toward
some kind of food, but not always.
One hated the color of blue, and
nothing depressed him more than
being in the company of people who
were, for the most part, garbed in
clothes Of this hue. Another couldn't
listen to the music Of a harp without
becoming irritated, while a third de-
tested lilies to such a degree that he
couldn't remain in the room where
there was one.
"None of the men who had these
aversions understood why he had
them. One man said he couldn't
touch a drop of milk or cream with
out becoming sick, yet he thought
nothing looked quite so appetizing
as a glass of good rich cream. Of
ten he had tried to partake Of it,
but without success. PARENTAL in
fiuences will of course, be urged as
the reason for these aversions, but
in the case Of the man who couldn't
touch milk or cream his mother and
father were both very fond of milk,
and another friend of mine who
couldn't eat strawberry had par
ents who simply loved them."-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

TWO LIVES
LOST IN FIRE AT HALIFAX,
NOVA SCOTIA.
MANY BIG WAREHOUSES;
And Other Business
Blocks Burned.

Halifax, N. S., sept. 15.-As the re-
suit of fire on the waterfront this
afternoon, sixteen large warehouses,
eight retail stores, four offices ana five
dwellings were reduced to ashes in
three hours, causing a loss of nearly
half a million dollars. Two persons
lost their lives during the fire.
Flora Ring, aged 20, was killed by a
falling tree and Charles Knapp, aged
rs, barrister, died from injuries re-
ceived by being run over on Hollis
street, while a score of firemen, sailors
and soldiers were injured by falling
walls, flying glass and burning cinders.
Six schooners were turned adrift from
the blazing wharves, but all reached a
safe anchorage.
The fire broke out in Melvin's Coop
erage and spread with remarkable rap
idity, the flames leaping from build
ing to building. Famed by a
forty-mile gale, they licked up
everything in that section. Men fight
ing the fire on the wharves with steam
engines were cut off from the street
and narrowly escaped. Torpedo boats
from the warships in the harbor pa
trolled along the wharves, picking up
men as they jumped into the water,
Two hundred bluejackets from the
British warships Adriadne and Inde-
fatigable were landed and hastened to
the scene. They brought with them O
torpedo party who blew up the build
ings on Water street so as to stop the
fire from crossing the street. The mill
tary fire brigade of two hundred men
! fought the fire from Kings wharf and
prevented it from extending to govern
ment property. The Dartmouth fire de-
partment also worked hard and effec-
lively, checking the fire from extend
ing south.
Armed marines with carbines anL
fixed bayonets patrolled the streets
the local police being powerless TO keer
back the thousands Of people.
The large warehouses were filled
with fish, sugar and molasses, the
firms burned being principally West
India merchants.
At 7 o'clock tonight the fire was un.
der control but it was still burning
fercely. 1t will probably have to burr
itself out.

bers would return. They accordingly
waited inside the house, and tonight

they could not carry before, were ar
rested.

THE FAIR.

The fair dates this year have been
fixed for September 81, 22 and 30.
Exhibitors and those who expect to
attend should keep these dates in
mind. The fair is yearly becoming
of greater interest and importance
aud with our increasing population
and railroad facilities there is no fea.
son why The coming annual eXhibi-
ton should not be a success from ey-
cry standpoint. A great deal rests
with the people Of the county. A it,
tie interest and a little time devoted
TO preparing exhibits OF the part
OF those who really have or produce
something worthy of exhibition would
add greatly TO the occasion.
Those whose business 1t will be to
look after the races and amusements
will do all in their power to present

Judge Parker endeavors to locate
the aus for the existence of trusts
by saying that they have been en-
couragcd and stimulated by excessive
tariff duties" But this does not ex-
plain the existence of huge trusts that
are in no way affected by the tariff,
such as the beef trust, the oil trust
and the coal trust. But as could
have been expected of the candidate
he had to take q shot at protection
to be in harmony with the traditions
and u~tterances of his party. In a tan
gled mess of verbiage the judge en-
deavors to show that there are laws
sufficient to suppress the trusts il
they were only enforced, but he was
not fair enough to state that the laws
already on the statute books are the
result OF Republican legislation. 1t
was not expected that Mr.. Parker
would bear on the trusts very hard
when his chief support must come
from them and when all of his man.
