There is only one New Yorker who

The Hartje divorce case now on at
Pittsburg is the rottenest thing that
has been aired in the newspapers in
some time. A negro and an Irish
coachman are mixed up in the affair.
Forty letters are said to have passed
between the mistress and her caoch-
men. 1t is claimed on the one side
that these letters are forgeries and
that the husband entered into a con-
spiracy and had them manufactured.
If this be true he is dirty-hearted
villain as one can imagine. If the let
tiers are genuine the wife has fallen
into depts that seem impossible. The
whole thing is shocking in every way
and has no redeeming qualities.

Frederick T. Frelinghuysen has tes-
tilted before an investigating commit
tee that the Mutual Benefit Company
of New Jersey had never contributed
cent to political campaign funds
and had paid only $707.sS in ten years
to influence legislation. Senator Dry
den testified that the Prudential con-
tributed $4,000 to the republican cam
paign fund in 1896 and $4,000 in each
subsequent campaign. 1t also paid out
$4,000 in various states to defeat leg
