ways warm-hearted and loved each

Such are the man and woman in

man. She is a woman of refinement
and of education. Hartje says he does

too much. The lower one is likely
nearest it.
Hartje Described.
AS man Hartje has been rather a
negative character. That is as a man
among men. In business he stands
well. His promises and contracts are
fully lived up to. He pays his debts
and treats his fellow men fairly. He
is close in his business dealings. but
on the whole is regarded as a business
man of considerable ability. Socially
he has cut little figure. He is fond
of fine horses, but he has never been
known to take his family into his en-
joyment. He is, according to the
statements of his wife. the kind of a
man who will spend $500 or $4,000
for fine horse and wonder at his
wifes extravaganza in spending $40
or SIS. On anything that Augustus
Hartje wanted he would spend any
sum. He is that way in business.
He is that way with his employees.
He hires them for the least he can get
them to work for, and works them to
the limit.
Mrs. Hartje is a granddaughter of
old John Scott, in his day one of the
most famous railroad men this coun-
try ever produced. Andrew Carnegie
is said to have gotten away with the
big end of the Scott fortune, but the
facts are that John Scott was a spend
thrift and a man who led a life which
was calculated to use up two or three
fortunes. There was always tragedy
in the family. 1t went down like the
Pyncheon family in Hawthornes
House of Seven Cables" Bank
ruptcy, violent deaths, insanity and
other tragic happenings carried off
different members of old Johns own
family and those of his connections.
A fatality seemed to follow the name,
and it appears as If that spell still
exists, for this beautiful young wom-
an has met with the most terrible
charges any man ever brought against
wife.
Good Woman and Mother.
She is a good woman. 1t is not in
tended to try her case here, but mere
ly to paint her picture for the benefit
of our readers. She has been as fool

TREE DESTROYING RIVER.
Western Stream That Chews Up Veg
etable Growths Along Its
Banks.

The Gila river enters the Colorado
just west of Yuma. and we crossed its
angry waters through maze of eddies
and whirlpools through which immense
quantities of driftwood were whirIing
in mad race. Escaping the worst of
the turmoil we reached the town at
racing speed and made triumphant
landing. with half our journey ac-
complished, writes G. G. Copp, in Har-
per's Magazine.
At most places along the shore the
river had reached the line of older
growths and was leveling the larger
trees by hundreds wherever bend of
the river directed the force of the cur
rent against the far shore. Trees ten
inches in diameter and 20 to 80 feet
high were constantly topping into
the Unsuitable river.
The fall of these larger trees was
always graceful. The first intimation
OF 1t was a distinct shiver that ran
through the entire tree, but was most
marked in the upper branches; a mo-
ment later the tree would bend grace
fully forward as II bowling to its
Az
would sink slowly into the rushing
waters that had reacher to and loos-
ened the inshore roots.
Tree after tree of this larger growth
would start down the river broadside
to the current Slowly at first 1t would
roll over and over. tangling its
branches into great skeleton wheel,
rolling faster and faster as the
branches became more impacted and
presented fewer projecting points to
catch and hold a moment in the shall
lower reaches. Eventually the
branches would be worn off in such
progress, leaving only the tougher
roots to retard it. Then the denuded
tree would give up the struggle. and
whirling into the line of least resist
ance, would float head on down stream
until caught by the spreading roots in
some shallow.

Hartjes' Millions to Be of No
Avail. Declares John F.
Scott of Pittsburg.
CASE PROMISES TO Be A REMARKABLE ONE
For American Womanhood and American
Homes Will Fight" Declares the Father
of the Woman Accused of Grave
Misconduct

Pittsburg.-For the sake of Ameri-
can womanhood, for the sake of Amer
lean homes, for the salvation of his
daughters name, John F. Scott, as
is now generally known, is engaged in
battle against the millions OF Au-
gustus Hartje, who is suing Mary
kenney Scott Hartje, daughter of Mr..
Scott, for divorce and has named a
negro as correspondent Hartjes at
torneys say they will prove the rela-
tions of this beautiful society woman
>with the man who cleaned out her sta
bles and groomed her horses. On her
part, Mrs. Hartje accuses her husband
of brutality beyond the imagination of
ordinary man.
1t is such a case which promises to
drag its length through the Pittsburg
courts within the next few months,
and the amount of public sympathy
which is being given to this woman,
who is fighting millionaire for her
children and her name as az faithful
wife and mother, is one of the most
remarkable things about it all.
Hartje Not Popular.
Not one kind word has yet been
spoken of Augustus Hartje since the
case started. If he has any friends
who believe his statement, they are
keeping it to themselves. The negro
who made the affidavit which was in
tended to strip from this woman the
last shred of public sympathy and re-
spect, surrendered to the officers of
the law and confessed that he had
perjured himself, that his statements
were false, that he had received about
$500 for telling his story and was to
have been paid $4,000.
Mixed up in this alleged conspiracy
are leading business man of the East
End of Pittsburg, one of the. most
prominent physicians of that fashion
able section, and the Hartje brothers,
Augustus and Edward G., his brother
who is an attorney.
Not a Love Match.

Hartjes. The couple were married
March Is, 1894. 1t was not love

was, comparatively, a man in mod
erato circumstances. He is worth
about 100000. Hartje is paper
manufacturer and has mill at
Steubenville, o., worth about mil
lion dollars. He also owns 20 or 80
pieces of real estate in the downtown
portion OF Pittsburg and property in
this section is valued at prices rang

Legal Giants on Both Sides.

The attorneys are all remarkable
for their ability 1t is probably the
first time David T. Watson has ever
engaged in a divorce case. He is one
of the greatest expounders of consti-
tutional law in the world to-day. If
there is any man living who fills the
shoes of Daniel Webster it is David
Watson. He only deals with great
things. He was attorney for the
United States in the Alaskan bound
airy dispute and won that great case
against the greatest lawyers of Europe
for the United States. He was attor-
ney recently for the city of Chicago
in the traction cases there which
were won by the city. In the North
ern Securities case his advice was in
valuable. He has figured in dozen
celebrated cases, but the world docs
not hear much of him. Watson never
gets interviewed. He is too busy.
He is as pleasant and jolly compan-
ion as you would want to have, but
he has horror of notoriety. He does
not like the look of his name in cold
type.
His partner. John NJ. Freeman, is
almost as well known as Mr.. Watson
and, in his way, is as good a lawyer.
They lead the counsel employed to
look after Mrs. Hartie's interests.
Patterson, Sterrett e. Acheson is an
other of Pittsburg's big law firms. In
fact Mrs. Hartje could scarcely have
secured any more attorneys of their
class unless she had employed Sen
ator Philander C. Knox. With Wat
son & Freeman and Patterson, Ster-
rett & Acheson on her side there is
no doubt that things will be made in
teresting when the fur finally begins
to fly.

HORTICULTURlST AMONG
BUFFALO FRUIT I

AS noted last week, DR.. Aven Nelson,
secretary of the state board of horti-
culture and professor of botany at the
university, was in the city for several
days during the week investigating the
diseases of fruit trees prevailing in
the county, says the Buffalo Bulletin,
The many cherry and plum trees that
were killed, all seemed to have been
destroyed by extremely cold weather
in October last, before the leaves had
fallen or the new growth of the year
had hardened off, and no disease was
found in these fruits. In standard apr
pies, SO far as examination went, the
same was found to be true. A good
many trees had been killed back on
the new wood of last year, not so COM
pletely, however, as to prevent the
starting of leaf growth in the spring,

CHICAGO PROFESSOR OF socIoL-
oeY THROWS SOME HOT SHOT
INTO CAMP OF HIS SEX.
Declares That Nature Started by Max
ing Woman the Dominant Force,
Who First Domesticated the Ami
mails, Including Mamie May Get

Chicago, H., Aug. 10.-Prof, w, l.
Thomas of the chair of sociology at the
University of Chicago is out in a for
NAL declaration, based on scientific
data, that woman was not intended
originally as a mere companion for
man, but that man was primarily in
tended as an assistant to woman. Here
are some of his startling declarations:
Woman Domesticated Man.
Life was essentially female. Ma
ture started to make ona the dom
inant force. Women first domesticated
the animals. beginning with a Man
was originally intended merely to as
sist the woman in keeping the race
alive. Falling in love is really medi-
|tated by woman. He does counting;
she controls the process. Man is the
easy mark for woman"
He May Get Bounced.
The professor is likely to lose his
job at the university.
