CLEVELAND, March 25--Judge
Beacon of the Common Pleas Court
to-day granted divorce to Nine.
Tackacs de Kis Joka on the ground OF
extreme cruelty.
The plaintiff, formerly Miss Hart,
is the daughter of a wealthy manufac-
turer of this city. While travelling In
Europe with her parents she met
Count Tackacs de Kis Joka, Hun
garian nobleman of Budapest, and the
couple were married after brief
courtship. The young wife, according
to her statement, soon discovered that
her husband was heavily involved
financially and without means. She
declared that the nobIeman had will
fully deceived her as to his standing,
socially and financially. Through mis-
representations, she said, she was in
duced to sign notes for her husband s
creditors, aggregating a large sum-
Later she left her husband and came
here. The Count followed and attempt
ed a reconciliation, in which he was
unsuccessful. Nine. Tackacs de kis
Joka filed a petition in voluntary bank
ruptcy and was declared bankrupt
by the United States court She then
applied for divorce, which was grant
ed to-day.

I'm regard to position of ads, the

tlemen, do you suppose l am carving

choicest positions at the same time,
but, with one exception, the papers of
San Francisco exert themselves to
place their advertising to the best pos
sible advantage.
1.-The value of position is constantly
recognized. To degree the attention
of the reader must be waylaid. The
advertisement must be intrusive. There
is undoubtedly a vast number of peo-
pie whose only avenue of information
upon the everyday affairs of their life
is through the columns of the daily
paper. Still another class who / am
convinced religiously study advertis-
ing, notably, women. These do not
need to be sandbagged into insensibil-
ity before they awaken to the con-
sciousness that advertising matter is
intended for them, but the remaining
element of busy business men. the
careless and the Indifferent, must be
taken by the ear and be made to sit
up and take notice. 1t is in their path
that the obstruction must be laid, and
conspicuous position will go far to-
ward compelling attention.
Newspaper conditions in San Fran
cisco are not ideal. and yet I venture
the statement that nowhere in the
United States. population and patron
age considered, are better papers from
the standpoint of news. local and tele-
graphic, pictorially and Topographic
cally to be found than right here in
San Francisco, and / do not believe
a city exists where more cordial feel
ing obtains between merchant and
publisher. Gentlemen, trust this
happy condition may long exist"
