DESERTED HER HUSBAND.
Former Judge Of Cook County, Ill.,,
Granted Divorce.
WERE MARRIED IN KlEGWOOD
Wife Was Hostess at Celebrated Beauty
Luncheon" Several Years Ago
New Living in LoEdon.

The following press dispatch from
Chicago tells its own story and may
prove interesting reading to many
in this vicinity:
John Barton Payne, former judge
of the superior court of Cook coun-
ty, ILL.,, and now one of the leading
corporation lawyers of the West,
has been granted decree Of divorce
from Kate Bunker Payne on the
charge Of deserlion.
The hearing was before Judge
Kavanaugh, and only Judge Payne
and his sister, Mrs. Emily Virginia
Fleming, testified. Mrs. Payne, who
long has been prominent in society,
and who several years ago was host
ess at the famous "beauty lunch
con-" has been abroad for nearly
two years, pursuing the study OF
music and art, and is said to be liv-
ing in London at present. The
Paynes were married October II,
1878, at Kingwood, Preston county,
w. Va. Judge Payne was promi-
nent in politics in West Virginia and
was mayor of Kingwood at one time.
His wife was the adopted daughter
of Judge Edward c. Bunker, of
Kingwood.
Behind the charge of desertion
formally made in the bill lies an in
teresting story of two temperaments
which, while the clash between them
never reached point of decided
bitterness, nevertheless proved in
the end hopelessly incompatible.
From old friends of the couple
comes the story that the active law
yer and jurist, with his mind weighed
with many problems, failed TO find
in las helpnale the solace OF his
leisure hours. Ii was told hOw Mr..
Payne returned To his home in the
evening with nls arms full of law
books and his brair fall OF taxIng
questions OF law, would be forced to
ielire to the solitude OF his library.
Mrs. Psyne,it was said, had sought
intellectual recreation in the study
of philosophical subjects. She is
said to have become devotee of
one of the cults which believes in
the power of mind over matter.
The elaborate "beauty luncheon"
Mrs. Payne gave in honor of ten
favored debutantes and their iden-
titY was mystery until the hour OF
the party. The secrecy beforehand
was carried TO such an extreme that
not one of the guests knew who the
other would be. The luncheon was
described as a bewiiching affair. All
the lights were turned low and shad-
ed and an American Beauty rose
rested behind the plate of each fair
guest. Special drawings of fanciful
beauties also had been prepared for
the guests, who were in ballroom
alIire. The menu and the service
were in accord with the dreamy ma
ture Of the whole function.

KNGWOOD PRESTON THURSDAY NOVEMBER M

migrants in the big cities OF the
northern states has cast consider
discredit on their traffic. An i'm
migrant who may be undesirable in
the North may at the same time
make desirable laborer for the
South, where there is now famine
of field hands and unskilled labor
ers.
1t has proved almost impossible
once the laborers strike the northern
cities to induce them to go south or
anywhere else where they are wanted
IN country districts. The companies
have, therefore, tried the scheme Of
landing immigrants direct on the
South Atlantic seaboaId, and 1t was
stated that when the shipload re
feired TO arrived there were more
employers of labor ready to meet
them than there were immigrants TO
fll the Jobs. II is possible, if the
experiment proves a success, that
some more shipments may be made
TO Savannah and other southern
ports, and that the South may in
this way get some Of the tide of for
eign immigration that she has been
clamoring for for long time.
Just how the low class immigrants
will be received in the South is
question. 1t cannot be answered
until the experiment has been tried,
but there is an interesting parallel
in the case of Hawaii, where five
years ago a shipload Of Porto Ricans
was imported and where they have
proved very undesirable citizens.
This case was brought to m nd
within the past week in letter from
Hawaii protesting very strongly
against what the islanders thought
was the possible annexation OF Cuba.
OF course the Hawaiians were inter
ested in the probable competition Of
Cuban sugar with their staple stock,
but the greatest stress was laid on
the importation Of the unfortunate
Porto RIcan immigrants whom it
was said had furnished a very unde
sirable class OF citizens and had
strongly turned the Hawaiians
against any further experiments in
the Introduction of an alien class.
The incident is mentioned for what
il is worth, and whether or not the
South will agree with Hawaii can
only be told after The European i'm
migrants have been given fair
trial.
One thing was shown 10y The last
election, aud that was the irrecon
cilaele difference between Arizona
"'N 4'N" hhO ONIoO Oll INC SubJCCl Oh
joint statehood. This difference OF
opinion was known to exist for
long time, and il is curious that con
gress should have forced this ques
ton at the last session. Arizona has
been notoriousIy against joint state
hood from the time that this was
first suggested. New Mexico, on
the other hand, has felt that she
could control the state policy if
jointure were adopted, wherefore she
has been rather IN favor OF it. The
matter was submitted by referendum
to the people in the two territories
IN the election just passed, and as
might have been supposed, the prop
osition was accepted in New Mexico
and turned down hard in Arizona.
This ought TO settle the question Of
joint statehood for some time to
come, but until there is a Demo
cratic congress there will not be the
slightes' opportunity for the question
of sepafdte statehood 10 cnme up.

Whether or Not Bar Room Projectors
May Serve Sunday Meals.

In opposing the application of Joel Hill
man. proprietor Of ''Harvey's" restaurant,
to serve meals Sundays on the lower floor
OF his establishment. where the bar is To-
Gated, Attorney Albert Shoemaker of the
Anti-Saloon League. at hearing on the
application before the Commissioners this
morning, declared that to grant the privi-
lege to one man would invite similar re-
quests from every bar room proprietor. He
also declared that in respect of serving
meals Sunday in rooms where bars are To-
Gated, the provisions Of the excise laws are
being violated by nearly every hotel in the
city.
Mr.. Hillman has always had this privi-
lege. but 1t was denied several days ago
by the excise board on the ground that the
presence of a bar on the same floor rem
dered the privilege a violation of the law
as far as the spirit of the latter was in
tenoed
Leon Tobrineri who represented Mr.. Hill
man. stated in his explanation to the Com
missiOners, that his client desired no spe-
cial privilege, but merely wanted to know
under what conditions he can serve meals
on the lower floor Sunday without violating
the law. He said he was willing to make any
changes in the general architecture of the
room, and would be willing to erect heavy
iron doors to inciose the bar ROOM He
also took the stand that in closing the bar
room Sunday and erecting a portable par
tition obscuring the bar from view, the
restaurant ceased to be bar room in the
spirit of the law.
