PRYAL'S WIFE ACCUSES
HIM OF GROSS CRUELTY
Says He Abused Her When She Told
Him That Little Child Had
Reeu Pois0ued.

Mrs Helen ". Pryal of 1853 Vallejo
street, who recently secured distinction
by prosecuting her milkman on the
ground that he sold her impure milk,
which, she said, caused her youngest
child to suffer from ptomaine poison
ing, filed suit for divorce yesterday, ac-
cusing her husband, Charles of cruelty.
The ptomaine poisoning incident has a
place in her complaint, for, she says.
when she telephoned to her husband
that their child was poisoned he went
home and upbraided her for bothering
him. Mrs. Pryal further asserts that
her husband developed great aver
sion for her parents and refused her
permission to visit them. His conduct,
saws the wife, caused her great mental
suffering, and, as a result, she asks
that she be freed.
Suits for divorce were also filed by
Parmina against Archimede Bernardini
for intemperance, Agnes H. against
Frank T. Webb for desertion and
Charles H. against Annie Coppard for de-
sertion.
DEGREES of divorce were granted yes
terday to Jessie M. from w. H. Hutton
for willful neglect, Rose from Leonard
Il. Mainprice for desertion, Stella from
HI. p Diamond for cruelty. James H.
from Ellen Morrissey on the ground
that the wife was insane when she
married, and II. d. from Christina Pentz
for iintemperance.

Oscar Wilde.

The many people who have contrib
uted to the belated vogue of the great
poet will find something of rare inter
est IN this weeks Town Talk, some
comments by Wilde on the late William
Sharp (Fiona MacLeod), found in a col
lection, made by a local publisher, of
writings now out of print. This week s
Town Talk is the Easter number, con-
sisting of fifty-two pages. beautifully
illustrated, and containing a great deal
of exclusive news. There is an anus
ing story of the sensation created by a
society woman's costume. The Specta-
tor tells of a startling precedent set by
two priests; also of the encounter be-
tween Croesus and the Spirit of Bohe-
mia. The riot at Lottas Fountain is
discussed editorialIy. There is a poem
from the pen of James v. Coleman, a
letter from Herman Scheffauer and a
thrilling short story by George Homer
Meyer dealing with the bombardment
of San Francisco by Japanese fleet.
