legations and evidence and giving his
con lusions. He says the evidence
failed ITO prove the charge of poison
ing, but that the defendant admins
tered instead remedies she deemed
beneficial to her husband. Judge
Scott cited the letter of Col. Cody's
daughter as proving that the Unhappi-
ness was caused by the plaintiff.
Wife Not Guilty of Charges.
Judge Scott also found that the
charge of unbecoming actions on the
part of the defendant toward the
colonePs guests was not proved, that
there was no evidence that she had
even threatened her husbands life,
and that when attending the funeral
of her daughter, Aria, at Rochester
N. Y, in February, 1904, she offered a
permanent reconciliation and no an
swef ever came to this,
"She was an overindulgent mother
and wife who always took pride in his
success and always looked forward
to his homecoming and made great
preparations to receive him." said
Judge Scott. ''She entertained his
guests with cordially. She did not
use profane language. The poisoning
of his pet dogs was accidental. She
never spoke disrespectful of him to
his friends Or guests She always
accompanied him to the depot on his
departures and was there to receive
him on his returns"
Fond of Husbands Pictures.
The judge also called attention to
the pride she took in having the pic
lures of Col. Cody in her home, even
to having her dishes stamped Or
etched with his photograph.
Cody Was Cruel.
''In return for this wifely devotion"
said the judge, '5the plaintiff has been
cruel to her and heaped indignations
upon her. Even if it were true that
the defendant had at times been i'm
patient with him and such Impotence
had been considered as indignities, 1t
also is TRUE that she has had much to
contend with"
A motion for a new trial will be ar
gued at the next term of the court.

The Romance Of Another Type.
Such are the man and woman. and
such is the network of romance which
has woven itself into their lives and
bound them together AS we turn to
the Whitney Bennett romance we find
very different type of love story. 1t
savors more of the purely sentimental.
Miss Pastor and Mr.. Stokes speak of
affinity, and find the ordinary express
sions of sentimental love crowded out
by the deeper currents and purposes of
life. The Christian and the Jewish maid
EN- have lost sight of all class, race and
social conditions, and each has recog-
nized in the other the complement of self,
that something, that inspiration, that
sympathy, which will enable them both
more surely and completely to realize
their ideals in serving humanity.

Montreal, the millionaire lumberman,
and Miss Bennett, the pretty telephone

frankly.
Nothing better" responded Ne,
Whitney heartily, and that evening

1t was no mansion that he found
Instead, Miss BENEFITS home proved

wooden fiat-house.
The Bennetts-father, mother and
three sisters-lived on the top floor at

Which Cupid Has Played

Now York City.-What queer pranks
Master Cupid plays at times! He draws
his bow and let's his arrows by, and 10,
and behold, all the world pauses to look
and to listen.
Cupid knows that love has a universal
language, and that it is potent to over
come every natural barrier. He knows
that love pauses not to reason why, but
that it dares to do, and even die, il need
be, in its assaults on the strongholds of
the human heart. He knows that there
are no race or class distinctions nor So
cial conditions or barriers which love
cannot with apparent reckless ease
sweep aside. And because Sir Cupid
knows all this full we'll, he dares to draw
his bow and send his dart clcaving the
heart of young man whose wealth is
counted in millions, whose social posi-
ton is of the highest, Yale graduate,
and club man, and the heart of poor
Hebrew maiden, a Russian Jewess,
whose life has been spent amidst the
worlds humblest, and who has rolled
cigars year in and year out that the
mother and five other children might
have bread and shelter. Cupid has
strangely linked the proud name Of John
Graham Phelps Stokes and the unknown,
yet euphonious name, of Rose Harriet
Pastor.
Cupid's Double Play.
But Cupid has done more than this.
He has made in New York what might
be called double play, and from one
end of the land to the other his strange
pranks are interesting and fascinating
the reading public. A wealthy business
man of Montreal, man of mature years
as well as of great riches, has fallen vic.
tim to the charms of a hello" girl
Cupid has discovered an affinity between
Mr. E. r. Whitney, capitalist, and sage
of 20, and Miss Anna Bennett, telephone
operator, and winsome maiden of some
20 summers, and this is the second re
markable romance which is setting the
tongues of the gossips to wagging and

Humble Origin of Rose Pastor.
Twenty-siX years ago Rose Harriet
Pastor was born in Augustovo, Suwalk
Russia, child Of the peasantry Tolstoi
and Gorky have told the world about. OF
this period of her life Miss Pastor says:
Il was only three years old when
left Russia, but think can remember
little about it, just very little, faint
shadow of remembrance. Then there
was London, where we lived in White
chapel and were very poor, indeed"
A chapter in her life which had its be-
ginning in London in those early years
had an interesting sequel in New York
city recently, and reminds one of the fact
that Pastor is not the real name of the
young Jewess. Her fathers name was
Jacob Weisslender, and about a year
after their removal to London he was di-
vorced from her mother, and all trace
of the man was lost.
Finds Her Father.
Mrs. Weisslender married a man
named Pastor, and Rose took her step

ago, and the support of the family fell on

to New York, about two years ago, and

pretty Miss Bennett in her daintiest
dress and was handed into the cab by
the gallant Mr.. Whitney. There was
a delightful theater party for two in

Then the Proposal.
Of course, all this attention meant
but one thing-a proposal. Last week
it came. and on Saturday evening when
Miss Bennett put on her hat and wraps
at the end of the days work she noti-
fed the hotel management that she

That very same Saturday Mr.. Whit

Union hotel and asked for his bill He
paid it and, calling q cab, drove over
to the Hotel Aston, Forty-fourth street
and Broadway, where he took suite
No. 305. There he is now, getting
ready for his wedding.
Loyal to Old Friends.
In her prosperity Miss Bennett has
not forgotten her less fortunate friends
of her hello" days. The bridesmaid
at the wedding is to be Miss Ida
Schwindt, another telephone operator
who presides at the switchboard of
the Park Avenue hotel. Mr.. Whitney
has handed her handsome check to
provide herself with a bridesmaids
gown. But of this or of her elderly
fiance's wealth Miss Bennett will not
speak.
Telephone Gossip.
There are certain things which at the
other telephone girls in New York have
heard, but which none of the interested
parties will confirm. Call up any Cen
trial." and she will tell you the gossip.
These are, that Mr.. Whitney has already
settled 100000 upon Mr.. Bennett and
that he and her father were present at
the signing of the papers; that her we'd
ding gift will be a $4,000 automobile;
that Miss Schwindt has received $500 for
her bridesmaids dress and a diamond
cluster ring for souvenir, and that Mr.
Whitney himself is one of New York 8

What the Lovers Say.
OF Cupid's work, Mr. Stokes says:
1--WE are not two; we are one in spirit"
And Miss Pastor echoes like sentiment
when she says: Life is riddle, of
which love is the answer. Our souls met
and we knew that we belonged to each
other"
The gray-haired lover steps forward
with the spring of youth and says: See
here. I'm not an old man. I've never had
a days illness in my life, and The insur-
ance companies have accepted me for all

girl, 1t rs entirely different. Their ro-
nance is written all in loves most senti-
mental characters. A sweet voice float
ing over the wire, pretty face seen
afterwards, lonely old widower with a
susceptible heart, a courtship in which
| flowers, and jewelry, carriage and auto
mobile rides, theater parties and dainty
and elaborate suppers figure prominent
| ly. These are the elements we find in
this charm ing story, and to many reaC-
er it will prove the more interesting and
readable OF the two.
Her Sweet Voice.
It chanctd that E. r. Whitney, a cap
italist of Montreal, came to New York
last year for long stay. He took rooms
at the Astor house. One day he called
up business friend at the Grand Union
hotel There was difficulty in getting his
party on the wire. But it wasn't Cen
trails" fault
Instead of initiating the rather hasty
tones of Mr.. Whitney, as does the aver
age Central, Or giving him Busy" this
operator on the other end of the line real
ly tried to get the call for Mr.. Whitney.
So sweet was her voice and so charming
her manner that the impatient business
man at the other end was much i'm
pressed
He got his party, an appointment was
made and next day found Mr. Whitney
at the hotel to transact his business. The
interview over, again he sought the tele-
phone. At the switchboard sat charm
ing young girl Mr.. Whitney gave her
the number he wished, and when he
heard her ask $500 Cortlandt' over the
wire, great light came over him.
Her Pretty Face.
At once he recognized the voice-it
was the voice of the day before, when he
had been so courteously treated over the
wire. If the. voice had pleased him, the
sweet-faced girl who gave him his call
delighted him. Mr.. Whitney is 70 years
old. but he hasn't forgotten the gallantry
of youth. in the twinkling of an eye he
had recalled the incident of the day be-
fore. and the blushing girl owned up that
it was her voice that he had heard over
the wire.
Now, Mr.. Whitney is man of dec.s
ion He admired the pretty telephone
girl and he decided that it would be a
saving of time if he could be nearer
her when ne wanted to use the phone
1t ism necessary to recount right here
that perhaps there were other in0u
ences that caused his decision.
At any rate, on the very next day
there appeared on the register of the
Grand Union the name "E. r. Whit
ney, Montreal" He took an expensive
suite and the Astor House knew hin
