(Continued from First Page) the board and to undertake the reor- ganization of the society, which it is
 our wish to have made as thorough and complete as possible.
 T have already asked ex-President Cleveland, Justice Morgan J. O'Brien, presiding justice of the appellate divis- ion of the supreme court of this depart ment, and George Westinghouse. of Pittsburg, to act as trustees of the stock. The last two named are among
 the large policyholders of the Equita- ble."
 MT. Morton's election is believed to
 mean the solution of the controversy which began between the Hyde and Alexander factions in the Equitable society some six months ago, and which became publicly known in February of
 this year. There were charges of ir- regularities and gross extravagances on both sides, with the fight at times raging with such bitterness as to
 threaten the welfare of the institution, which numbers some 600,000 policyhold- CTS, with assets in excess of $400, 1000, ,000
 and a surplus estimated at $S0000, 900. Chief among the charges preferred by President Hyde was that
 President Alexander, as trustee o1
 the Hyde stock, was desirous of wrest-
 ing control from the estate. On the
 other hand, it was charged by MT. AL
 exander that MT. Hyde and his friends
 were conducting the affairs of the so- ciety without regard for the welfare of the policyholders.
 It was MT. AIexander's contention
 that the wellbeing of the society de-
 manded it's mutualization-that is, an
 actual voice by vote in the affairs of the society by every policyholder. Mir. Hyde agreed to the plan of mu- tualization, and in the meantime suits
 against the society were begin in this
 and other states, resulting in various forms of litigation. The plan to mu- tualize the society was recently de-
 feated or stopped by decision of Jus
 tice Maddox, of the supreme court of
 this state.

 at hand. In view of the significant character of the document, and of the attitude toward it which both Russia and Japan has assumed, it is reported in official and diplomatic circles as the first firm and decisive step toward ulti- mate peace.
 When President Roosevelt left Wash ington to-day on two days trip to Virginia, he was confident that the re- suit of the international negotiations for peace in the far east had been suc- cessful and that the final blow in the Russo-JaDanese war had been struck So deeply interested is he i1 bringing the two belligerent nations to common understanding that he would not have left the White house at the time when the situation was so delicate, until he had obtained assurances that his eff forts to bring Russia and Japan into contact, in an amicable spirit, had been successfully concluded.
 While extreme reticence is manifest ed in every official and diplomatic quar- ter, it is known authoritatively that the exchanges which have been in pro- gress for the past ten days between the Washington government and the DOW CTS of the world including the two bel- ligerent nations, have been successful to an unexpected degree. President Roosevelt. who has taken the lead in the negotiations, has been accorded the cordial support of the great conti- mental powers including Russia's near est friend-France. The direct repre- sentations made through Ambassador Meyer, at St. Petersburg, to the czar were received by Emperor Nicholas, in 8 most friendly spirit. Tokio responded in an equally amicable way. So near are the two warning powers to amicable contact at this moment, that in all Washington circles, official and diplo- matic, mere hopefulness has given way to notable optimism.
 At a late hour tonight MT. Takahira, the Japanese minister, had not been advised from Tokio of the delivery of the presidents message to the emperor, but he was expecting a cablegram to that effect at any moment, The min- ister was able yesterday to transmit to the president 8 message from the mi kado that Japan was with Russian de- sirous of peace, provided of course 1t could be obtained under proper condi- tions,

Those girls walked out, and from that tin1e I had peace"
 A month later the two met again. Cassidy said: 'Bossin, I owe you a hat Remember that bet about my lhead bookkeeper? Well, the other day was reading my mail. She always Iopened my letters and filled them ready for me. Among them found one which had been written to her. By mistake she had put 1t with mine. It was from one of these agencies which furnish positions to the unemployed for a percentage on their salaries. It read about like this: Enclosed is your share Of the commission we received from Miss Smith. paid over to us on her salary for first two months after securing her position. We wish to thank you for your good work for us in the past, and trust you will keep us informed Of all prospective vacanies which come to your knowledge. What do you think of that for good business? For years that girl had been receiving a per cent on the salary of women employed during the first eigth weeks | of their stay. When the money had come in she proceeded to have them

He often comes and takes me out to dinner. You forget that he is Char lies father" According to the, decision of the court, Charlje's father has no right to his society, but the mother permits the boy to spend part of his time with him.
 "He mustn't be allowed to forget his father you know" she says.
 The wonder to her many friends is that a man could treat such a woman in such way as to drive her to seek g divorce
 Matters have grown more and more complicated of late in this particular family. The woman is engaged now to man, whose wife has divorsed him.
 These two have a little daughter, of whom both are exceedingly fond. In his apartments side by side are handsome portraits of his intended wife, his former wife and his little daughter. And his former wife and his child frequently spend the day
 with him.
 Not long ago some IrlendS gave a little party and left the engaged couple out They wondered why. They were told that the former wife
 was expected at this entertainment. T can't understand" said the in- tended wife plantively why they should have left us out. I have met his former wife. He introduced us. I admire her very much indeed" Another New York man obtained a divorce from his wife. The wife re- fused absolutely to give up her chill dren.
 1 After a time her former husband went to the far East. Before he de- ] parted he called upon his divorced wife and bade her good-by. Not on-
 ly that, but he took her to an inffuen- tial woman, the friend of both, and
 asked her with tears in his eyes to l look after his ex-wife, to hafriend her | in his absence.
 l Now he writes long, loving letters
 to her from this far off country which she carries next to her heart.

you know," she says in explanation.
 Another exceedingly pretty woman gave popular Friday evening enter tainments. At first her husband was very much in evidence. Then he dis appeared.
 People wondered little inwardly, but outwardly they smiled and were calm. Also, they said nothing; for unless one sees the husband or the wife before one's eyes in New York one is discreetly silent. The Friday evening entertainments continued. The wife, who is very popular, appeared at first with eyes that showed some signs of tears. Then they frightened, and she was gay as formerly, if not gayer. .~. ~ Her friends surrounded her. They determined to console her, and con sole her they did.
 By and by one of these friends ask cd her to an entertainment he was giv- ing.
 What night was 1t you said?" she returned, blushing prettily.
 "wednesday nigllt,~ said he.
 "Wednesday night" she repeated.
 "Well, you must let me bring my hus- l band if come that night. It is the night he comes to see me-" she fin- ished.
 Still another woman separated from her husband because of his extreme cruelty. She applied for support. The magistrate decided that unless she returned to him she was not en- titled to support from him. She went to work and succeeded. Her friends, too gathered around her and made her life pleasant. At the end of year she had dismissed the
 nightmare of her life with him and
 was happy again.
 She was upon the eve of going on a
 big rubberneck wagon with some 30 of these friends and was thinking in-
 cidentally, as she looked in the glass to see if her face was on straight, how she would like to meet her hus- band and thank him for treae1ng her so badly that she was forced to leave him, since it had been after all for

 The janitor stood outside the door smiling at her. That is one reason life is so pleasant, the janitor is kind to her. D..
 There's a mon downstairs" he said, that I never see before. He's got on a long overcoat and he wears glasses. He won't come up.'' i
 All right, Joe" she smiled back, 'I'll be down in minute ....l
 She ran outside to find her husband At first she didn't quite recognize him. then she shook hands with him quite cordially and they worked along the street togther.
 In fact he walked about 10. blocks with her. He told her how he had seen her on the street two weeks be- fore and she looked so tired and sad that he thought he really must cdme back and console her.
 T wasn't at all sad" she told him hastily. Not the least Title bit. am never sad now that I am no longer married. I had been to Brooklyn and was tired. It always makes me tired to go to Brooklyn. That was all. I am happy now" she asserted, very, very happy
 He refused to believe that, since she no longer lived with him, but that was his nature. He persisted in de- claring that she grieved for him, but she knew the real truth of the matter.
 She had succeeded with her work and he had failed. She had become, therefore, a good investment. de ended by begging her to forgive him and take him back.
 She was a year older than she had been the year before, and she conse- quently learned a few things, so she refused, but she did it very politely.

 'Nonsense-too old for that Wo- men are just a matter of business with me. I have.to employ them, and they are so queer that I'll never un- derstand them. I can size up man on sight, but an infant of the feminine gender could hoodwink me. I can't endure pickering in my office, and whenever I hire new girl, as am obliged to about every week or so, I take care to engage one who looks sweet-tempsred.

it to the audience to guess how it is done.
 This act had an unprecedentedly long run at Hammerstein's theater in New York, and had all Paterson talking, about the recent carnival there. The theater has been remodeled this year, and will be known as the Temple of Mystery, which will be an appropriate name, as the management has booked quite a number of attractions such as the great Hermann used to perform.
 For the headliner of the vaudeville bill next week will be the famous team, Rice & Elmer, in the great comedy con- ception, ''The Farmer and the China man." who have just finished a suc- cessful engagement at Keith's. An other act which is also a headliner is that of the Jennetts, acrobats and equilibrists, in whirlwind of difficult and daring tricks.
 The fireworks Tuesday and Friday will be on the usual grand scale with many new features in the line of pyro- technics.

WOMAN AND HER Ex-HUsBAND.

Queer Amicable Relations After Some
 Divorces-Wfves Who Substitute
 Friendship for Matrimony.
 Many a woman retains even after she gets a divorce a soft spot in her heart for the man who was once dear to her. This is shown by the amity ex- isting between divorced couples in New York
 The word "divorce' might be ex- pected to suggest harsh words, cold stares, frozen faces but not so in New York. For instance take the case of one beautiful woman, suave, gracious, charming, who divorced her husband.
 She retained the custody of the child, boy. On her mantel stands large photograph of her former hus- band. She exhibits it with pride.
 Isn't he handsome?" she asks.
 "Then you have no animosity?" visitor once asked.
 None whatever" she replied in- stantly. "We are very good friends.
