N0RDICA GRANTED
ABSOLUTE DIVORCE.
FAMOUS SINGERS PLEA FOR SEP
ARATION FOR TENOR HUS-
BAND is SUCCESSFUL.
Herr Doeme, the Hungarian Opera Singer,
VIII Not Be Required to Pay
Alimony.

New York, Feb. 2.-Liliian NOrdlca,
the Drima donna, who is known in phi
vate life as Lillian Nordica Doeme, has
obtained an absolute divorce from her
husband, Zoltan Doeme. An inter-
!ocutory decree has been signed by
Judge Bischoff of the supreme court,
which will not become final for three
months.
After the publication several weeks
ago of the fact that Herr Doeme had
been served with the papers Ill the suit
every step in the case has been kept Sc e,
cret. William L. Turner was appointed
referee on January and held several
hearings, at which the prima donna ana
q few other witnesses were examined.
He made a report in her favor. Now his
report is confirmed and the decree grant
ed on the ground of the husbands mis-
conduct.
There was no opposition after the ref
erees report to the granting of the de-
cree, which does not make any provision
for the payment of alimony. Every pa
per connected with the case, including
the complaint, the answer and the evil
dence taken before the referee, and the
report Of the referee, has been sealed care
fully, the only paper open to the public
being the decree itself.
Ends Her Second Romance.
Nine. Nordica was married to Herr
Doeme on May q, 1896, at indianapolis,
the night before she closed her engage
ment with the May music festival.
Doeme was a tenor, a member of an arts
tocratic Hungarian family, and at one
time an officer of the Hungarian cavalry.
Her first husband, Frederick A. Cover,
was a wealthy electrician to whom she
was married in Paris in 1882. He is sup
posed to have lost his life while attempt
ing to cross the English channel in a
balloon in 1887. She had brought suit
against him for separation. His body
was never recovered. and controversy
arose as to the distribution of his estate,
100000. Nine. Nordica settled her
claim against the estate for $4,000
Surprise to Her Friends.
Nine Nordica's troubles with Doeme
surprised her friends in this country last
October She then started on six
weeks tour Of the United States and
Canada. As soon as Herr Doeme ar
| rived here in December last papers were
served on him. Although mutual friends
made efforts to bring about reconcilia-
ton they failed, and Doeme soon became
an inmate of private sanitarium. 1t
was said at the time that we'll known
singer in Paris was the cause of the
| trouble between Nine. Nordica and her
husband.
Edward Lauterbach, who appeared for
Herr DOeme in the case, refused to say
6. word about it. Nine. Nordica's coun-
sci was equally reticent. She is now ap-
pearing in concert at Wichita, Kan.

DIDN'T BELIEVE

That Coffee Was the Real Trouble.
Some people founder around and
take everything that's recommended to
them, but finally find out that coffee
is the real cause of their troubles. An
Oregon man says:
For % years | was troubled with
my stomach | was steady coffee
drinker, but didn't suspect that as the
cause. l doctored with good doctors
and got no help; then | took almost
anything which some one else had
been cured with, but to no good. l was
very bad last summer and could not
work at times.
ION December 2, 1902, was taken
SO bad the Doctor said could not live
over twenty-four hours at the most
and l made all preparations to die. l
could hardly eat anything, every thing
distressed me, and l was weak and
sick all over. When in that condition
coffee was abandoned and was put
OF Postum; the change in my feelings
came quickly after the drink that was
poisoning me was removed.

am we'll and strong again, can eat
heartily, with no headache, heart trou-
bleeor the awful sickness of the old
coffee days. l drink an I wish of

'This seems like a wonderfully
strong story, but l would refer you

mony took place in the large reception
room attached to the secretary's office in
the war department. and the transfer Of
authority from Elihu Root, the retiring

Before noon, the appointed hour, Gov.

his hotel with little party of personal
friends and OF some Of his immediate
amily. These included Charles p, Taft
and Miss Wildly Of Cincinnati and H w.

ney general for the Philippines, and j..
y. Schmidlapp Of Cincinnati, personal
friend Of the governor.
Ihey were ushered into Secretary Root s
Office where the retiring secretary, in a
few well-chOSen words and with a good
deal of feeling, surrendered his portfolio
ito Gov. Taft. The party then proceeded
to the reception room, where Gen. Chat
fee, chief OF staff, LII uniform, took charge
of the ceremonies.
The room was cleared of all except the
participants in the induction, save the
party of friends and members Of the gen.
,eral staff. Gov. Taft and Secretary Root
took their places at the long table where
stood John Randolph, a notary, who adj
ministered~the oath of Office to the in
coming secretary.
Then there Were congratulations show
Fred upon fSecretary Taft and goedbyes
We're said to Secretary Root. Every
army officer on duty in Washington was
aligned at the doorway and the bril-
liantly uniformed column passing be-
fore the retiring and incoming
secretary and formed a pretty spectacle.
Secretary Taft was in the best of spirits
and he had smile and good word for
everyone while Secretary Root showed in
his countenance the relief he felt in lay
ing down the cares of the great office
After the military men had passed
through the room, the heads Of bureaus
and finally most Of the employees of the
war department were admitted and each
of these seceived pleasant greeting At
the conclusion of the reception Secretary
Taft with his personal friends and family
went to luncheon. Ex-Secretary Root ex-

will resign his position. This has been
the manner in which every Carnegie Steel
company official of prominence has ended
his usefulness with that company.
1T is known here that since the slump

sitions. Schwab and Frick have never

EN-. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, Aug. 49, - Wheat-The
strength Of May, which crossed 1.09
was a late feature. AT the opening
wheat dropped cent following slump
at Minneapolis and on lack of buyers.
The trend was erratic for a while, but
further bad crop news from the north
west put different complexion on at
fairs and the loss was wiped out and
Il fair gain substituted. There was
much covering by shorts and offerings
dried up quickly on the advance. Mod
ern Miller was bulish. Patten was a
notably heavy buyer OF May. The map
was excellent, but temperatures some
what low in the northwest. Bradstreets
figures show exports to average 40 to
so per cent below last year.
Corn--Corn opened half lower on
weak cables, the drop In wheat and
fairly large receipts. Following this
decline the short covered along with
the rise in wheat and the market adj
vanced about a cent. Prices did not
hold, as extensive profit taking accom-
panied the advance. The close was
about unchanged Primary receipts
