.ALIMONY AND REMARRIAGE

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. ga deci-
sion rendered yesterday in the United
States circuit court of appeals concerns
the remarriage of two prominent Vlr-
ginia people.
Mrs. Ralph Savage recently secured a
divorce from her husband, and was al
lowed to resume her maiden name and
was awarded alimony Of $400 "a year.
The difference which caused the Iii
vorce finally were forgotten and the
pair were remarked. The husband then
became bankrupt and his creditors en-
deavored to secure the property held by
his wife for the payment of alimony.
The agreement of the husband was,
however, for the payment Of $400 year
for life and the remarked wife's claim
was secured by the trust deed.
The court held that her claim was
good and the effort of the contestlng
creditors came to nothing.

In a Chinese Police Court

A reporter on the staff of the Shang

to offenders in the police court of that
Chinese city: Business appeared very

terday, as Yang Wo Zung and Ng All

tempt to dispose of two girls whom they
offered for the ridiculously low sum OF
$50, after having kidnapped them from
their home I'm Pootung. This case was
very intricate one, the kidnapees hav-

After going eXhaustiVely into the evil

Tapeworms Make Pearls

Prof. Herdman's recent investiga
tions on the subject of pearl formation
have yielded some interesting conclu
sions. In the great majority of cases
it appears that the pearl is due to the
presence in the oyster of a marine
tapeworm. When the spherical larva
of the worm dies nacreous matter Is
deposited round it and the resulting
mass is known as a pearl. The life
history of the tapeworm is continued
in bodies of certain species of file fish
which prey on the oysters. These file
fish, again, are devoured by flsheating
rays or sharks. In these latter the
tapeworm becomes mature and sets
free numerous embryos into the sea.
These finally enter the oysters and so
complete the life cycle.
The small so-called seed" pearls are
caused by the deposition of nacreous
matter round small crystals formed in
certain muscles OF the oyster. Perhaps
the most important result of Prof.
IIerdman's work from the scientific
standpoint is the establishment of I.
marine biological station at Gale for
further research.-London Globe.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The many
friends who had been invited to the
wedding of Miss Gertrude Adele Hoff-
man, the young daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. william r. Hoffman of 522 West
One Hundred and Forty-fifth street,
were surprised yesterday to receive
messages telling them that the marriage
which was to have taken place yester-
day between Miss Hoffman and DIR.
Walter X. Shannon Of Lackawaxen,
Pa, would not be solemnized.
Miss Hoffman denied herself to all
callers. They were informed simply
that the marriage was not to take place.
What caused the sudden change in
her intentions Is a mystery to the
friends of the young woman. On Sun
day afternoon last Miss Hoffman en-
tertained twenty-five of her girl friends
at a farewell luncheon given at Pabst's,
Harlem. The guests say Miss Hoffman
never appeared more happy
The first intimation that the arrange
ments for the wedding had suddenly
been discontinued was received by the
ushers and bridesmaids. All received
teleSrams on Wednesday night thank
ing them for the trouble to which they
mad been put, put telllng them tnaI the
wedding would not take place.
Miss Hoffman at p. m. yesterday
afternoon, just an hour before the cere-
mony was 10 have taken place. hurried
to the office of Alderman Max Grifen-
hagen, at 249 Tenth avenue Mr.. Grifen-
hagen, who is an old friend of the
family, was to have officlated at the
wedding ceremony. TO him the girl
simply said that he need not leave his
office early as she had decided not to
go on with the marriage.
DR.. Shannon, who is graduate of
the Baltimore Medical college, has es-
tablished a practice at LackawaXen.
Pa, where he lives with sister. He
arrived I'm New York on Wednesday and
Immediately went to call upon his
fiancee at her home The couple were
alone together for some time. When
DR.. Shannon left he went Immediately
to the home of his brother, who is a
physician in Montclair, N. j. Shortly
afterward the kilograms We're sent out.
Mr.. Hoffman, father OF the young
woman, said last night:
my daughter decided that She did
not wish to marry now. That is all

LITTLE HEROES PERISH
Two Boys Are Killed by Train
While Trying to Save Lives
of Others
special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Little Able
Diamond and his companion, Kingie
BlauVelt, who lived near each other al
George street and Dewey avenue, ia
maica, died last night in the Jamaica
hospital. Their school companions say
they died the death of heroes. Both
were cut down by a Long Island train
at the Brenton avenue station, but
their cries and vigorous pushing saved
forty other youngsters from death
.Abie's legs were cut off near the thigh
and Kingies skull was fractured.
The accident happened at noon, when
about fifty children. boys and girls
were hurrying from school, The gates
were down. as the gateman had sighted
q work train coming. but the little ones,
in their anxiety to get home. became
impatient and laughingly ran under
the gates to the tracks.
Half of them reached the other side
when the work train turned the curve
The gateman tried to push the children
back, but it was too late. Able and his
little brother Seeley were running acros:
hand in hand. The train was within
ten feet of them.
Just ahead of Able was little girl
years old. She was in the middle OF
the track on which the train was conf
ing. Able saw her danger, showed his
brother backward. and with one leap
threw his arms about the girls waist
and dragged her aside. But as he did
so he wheeled around himself and was
caught under the big wheels of the
engine.
Kingie Blauvelt was half way across
the track and had turned to warn
Others against crossing, when he was
cut down and his skull fractured. Both
were taken to the Jamaica hospital,
where they died.
Able was years old and Kingie 6.

When the Devil Is Loose in Mexico

A big fire, a suicide and number Of
accidents in the city and heavy wind
and rain storm here and numerous
crimes and accidents in many parts of

annual one days leave of absence taken

majesty spends in this earthly planet

all MeXicans that on the day of San

SP00KS OF SLAIN LOVERS
spiritualists Visit Haunted House
and Commune With the
Dead
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
KANSAS CITY. Nov. ga band OF
believers from the First Spiritualist
church visited a haunted" house at
the northeast corner of Roberts street
and Indiana avenue last night, got into
communication with and in the end ex-
orcised the spirits of a murdered girl
and her lover, who, the tenants vow,
have been at high links in the house
for the last month. Thirty or forty
residents of the neighborhood were
present at the seance, which was con-
Quoted by Mrs. Edward Connolly a
professional medium. Until Monday
the house had been occupied by George
j. Martin. Martin and sub-renter,
e. L. Cramer, vacated the building be-
cause too many weird noises echoed
through 1t in the still watches of the
night.
I'm a Missourian, went through the
civil war and am not afraid of any
noise" explained Martin last night,
but there have been things going on
In this house that are too deep for me.
and l got out because / grew tired of
trying to find the causes of them.
Only last week Cramer and L heard
five distinct pistol shots in the hall not
ten feet from where we sat. About a
month ago we were awakened by
shrieks and the wall Of a woman. The
noise came from upstairs; but we
couldn't find the woman. Why, we've
laid awake night after night hearing
things roll down the stairs, the rafting
of coal scuttle, the fall of a stove
pipe, and never once have we found
cause for the noises or evidences Of
disturbance"
Mr.. Martin called upon the spiritual
lists of the city to help him solve the
mystery. They visited the place Sun
day and again last night. This briefly
is the result of the seance as given by
the Spiritualists
THE house is haunted by the spirits
of a young Russian Jewess named Lena
Bernheim and her lover, Andrew Cog
liasky, both of whom were murdered
thirty years ago over a dispute about
money. The noises which Martin
heard are the reproduction of sounds
that occurred on the night of the
double murder"
The seance which resulted in the rev.
elation was a weird affair. The Spirit
ualists. twelve in all, stood about in
circle in one of the ground-f1oor rooms
Of the abandoned house, while the me-
dunn, with sundry mutterings and
twitches. conversed In baby talk with
the troubled souls that haunt the place.
AS the communication between this and
the spirit world became closer for the
medium others of the faith were seized
with convulsions.

I've no doubt the queen of England
has her troubles" remarked the woman
who has just arrived from the other
side. ANY one with an enthusiastic
husband like Albert Edward Is likely to
stop, pause and reflect now and then.
I'm not thinking of them. I'm rather
recalling the stories of two fair ones I
met on my homecoming trip. One was
q pretty girl, who related that while
she was driving in Hyde park the royal
carriage came In sight. She was so ex-
cited she stood up and in her eagerness
to see everything possible of her ma
jesty bent far over. The queen ac-
knowledged this salute with fascinat-
ing bow and smile. And the enchanted
little Philadelphian sank back into her
seat all aglow with delight
"And the other?" asked the good
listener
''Oh, she was missionary, who had
been year studying London methods, -
continued the lately-returned one. "She
was one day standing near the yelling
! ton statue when the king and the
queen drove through Hyde park corner.
In her excitement she rose on her tip
toes and exclaimed with bated breath,
It's the king and the queen They
both bowed graciously at hearing them
selves thus announced, and the queen
smiled so f1eetlngly that the expression
could hardly be thus defined"
Americans must interest her." put
in the good listener
Eyes, remarked the just-returned
one, "but that isn't my point. l am
thinking how it must feel to have an
utter stranger turn perfectly radiant

themselves to such an extent. 1t must
be quite delicious, especially when one

STUDENT CONTROL
PROVES SUCCESS
LUNCH ROOM A FEATURE OF
NEW SCHOOL
Polytechnic High School Pupils Get
Good Meals at Low Prlees-The
System Is Perfect, say
Experts

Students Of the polytechnic high
school marked Friday down In their
diaries as Il day to be remembered in
the history of the new school.
There were many reasons for rejoic-
ing. It was the first time the students
had gathered in the big auditorium for
an entertainment and dozens Of willing
hands decked 1t with garlands of smilax
and pennants of blue and gold.
1t was also the day upon which
Charles Cassatt Davis, chairman OF
the high school committee of the board
of education had luncheon in the new
lunch room, which Is the pride of the
students hearts.
Mr.. Davis not only had luncheon
there but he pronounced 1t a most ex-
cellent meal and went even farther and
complimented the students on their
management.
Everything at the polytechnic is
under student management and all who
have visited the school and seen the
mervels which 1t works are convinced
that 1t is no longer an experiment.

large space on the first floor of the
~
ment OF students.
Everett Charlton has been elected
manager and six girls, all students,
preside at the counters. A student from
the bookkeeping department acts as
bookkeeper and another student is the
cashier.

room is reserved for the boys and the
other for the girls. Tables are ar
ranged in the center and down the
sides of the room and a counter occu-
pies one end. Each student waits on
himself, and when one set has finished
a new set takes the place. Two cooks
and two helpers are the only paid en-
ployes, and the students who do the
work receive their lunches free
Everyone wants to work under these
conditions and all work for success.
The menu is varied each day. Soup
three kinds of sandwiches, something
hot. such as hash or macaroni, pies, hot
drinks and bread and butter. Ice cream
is served every day at a special table
where nothing else is sold.
About 800 students are served each
day and the management has been SO
successful that instead of shortage
in funds as Is usual when such a plan
is tried for the first time there is a
surplus in the bank.
I'VE do not aim to make anything"
said Principal Francis in explaining the
system. What money is now In the
bank will be applied to the athletic and
decorating fund"
The Friday concert was also managed
by the students. who engaged the Bo-
numir Kryl company and secured an
excellent program. The money made
was turned into the fund for athletics
and decorating.
In every department of the school
the evidences of student control are
seen and in several of the rooms where
students were working over drawing
boards or text books there were nc
