NO DIVORCE FOR THE wEsTONs
The Plaintiff shrieks in Court and a Lawyer
Gets Belligerent.

A scene marked the close of a divorce
suit before Vice-Chancellor Emery in
Newark yesterday. The petitioner was
Mrs. Emma Minor Weston and the de-
PENDANT was William j. Weston, formerly
an actor, but now a mining promoter.
Weston not only denied the charge OF
wrongdoing made by his wife, but fled
a cross bill in which he alleged intimacy
on her part wit h t hree men who were named
n The bill.
The vice-chancellor threw out both
the bill and the cross bill. He announced
that the only evidence on either side was
the unsupported statement of the opposing
party, which in each instance was denied.
As soon as the vice-ohanoellor made it
clear that no decree would be issued Mrs
Weston, the petitioner, jumped up from
her seat and ran around the courtroom
shrieking Historically and wringing her
hands. While the vi~oe-chancellor looked
on with amazement trouble began in an
other quarter. Mrs. Weston'e attorney,
Charles F. Tegen, who is scarcely more
than 8 feet high, made a movement to
attack Weston, who towers nearly q
foot over the belligerent lawyer. Then
Charles Banghart, a brother Of Mrs. Weston,
made a pass or two at his brother-in-law
and a general melee was imminent. At
this critical moment Sergeant-at-arms Sayre
and a number of court attendants got to
work and with a threat from the bench
to send all hands TO Jail peace was re-
stored.
Included in the evidence submitted by
Weston to sustain his cross bill we're q
number of ardent love letters which he said
we're written to his wife, some by a writer
who signed himself Jack" in Chicago and
others alleged to have been sent by a New
York man. These letters were all addressed
to Minnie and according to Weston's
testimony he found them in a desk Of his
wife at their home in Newark. One Of
these letters was as follows.
MINNIE, DEAR HEART: My wife bass
promised to give me a divorce II l see her
In person, but a lawyer has advised me to
beware as she might make trouble II / met
her.
| have your pictures beside me and talk
OF them often, The Mlssus says I talk Of
Minnie every night in my sleep and wants
TO know who she Is and says she must be
awfully dear to me. Well. little one. II she
only knew how dear you are IN mo. l have
told my father OF you and showed him your
picture and he said. Son. ! would like to
see you happy with this woman, as ] know
you love her." With love and kisses, low
ngly yours JACK:
In another letter from Jack he tells
OF the writer's hope that Weston will get a
divorce.
The vi~ce-ohancellor declined to consider
these letters evidence enough to base a
decree upon. He ruled that while they
tended to show the disposition Of the
writer's they did not indicate a responsive
disposition on the part OF Mrs. Weston,
even allowing that they were addressed
to her, and as there were no responsive
letters from her IN evidence or no other
testimony except certain unsupported allie
gations by the husband they were INSULT

But He Swung His Lantern.

Representative John Sharp Williams
tells tale Of the days when he was
counsel for railway line in one of the
Southern aStates,. w..
II appears that, at one point on tts
line, the company had stationed an old
nepro watchman, whose duties con-
sisted In warning travellers down a
highway crossing the tracks when q
train approached. One night, wagon
was sttuct; resulting in bad accident.
The company was, of course sued for
damages, and a trial, the old darkey
was the principal witness for his en-
ployers. He replied to the questions
put to him in clear, direct fashion.
Among these questions, was one as to
whether he was sure that he had
swung ais lsntern across thu road
when he perceived the train approach.
The negro replied
~ shorely did, sah!"
The trial resulted in verdict for the
company, and Mr.. Williams, as corn.
sci, took early occasion to compliment
the aged negro on his excellent testi-
mony. To which the latter replied
"Thankee, Marse John, but was
shorely skeered when dat lawyer man
begin to ask me about de lantern. l
waF afeard, for a minute, dat he was
goin' to ask me If 1t was lit or not.

"A striking example OF food adulter-
alton has bsen discovered BY the city
chemist ofKansas City, Missouri. He
purchased q number OF jars Of fruit
jams and preserves, such as are sold In
almost any market for twenty cents a
pound, purportlng to be pure peach,
strawberry and currant products. Be.
ing impressed with the striklngly beau
tiful hues of what he extracted from
the assortment OF "pure fruit" jams,
he resolved to make some experiments,
The Ingredient was found to be moth
ing more or less than coal tar, from
twentygrammes of which he extracted
enough coloring to dye a pair OF baby'e
whitestockings brilliant red. Immsdi-
ately after they we're immersed in the
dye they we're red enough for Mex
lean matador tc stir up bull to full
fighting pitch.
The average layman may need ia
know just what coal tar is. Whether
he desires it in his fruit jams and pre-
serves or not may be better answered
when he learns that coal tar is thick,
sticky, dark colored substance, used
in the manufacture of printers ink,
for asphalt pavements, for coating
ships and great variety OF CONNER
cial purposes. Coal tar when distilled

solidifias on cooling and forms pitch,
is used to form asphalt, and black
varnish to protect iron from rust.
According to the findings OF the
chemist, jam eaters who buy cheap
kind are transforming their digestive
organs into dyeing establishments and
setting up printing Offices, asphalt
pavements and other highly digestive
things in their stomachs.
The chemist's discovery, says a
prominent Kansas City physician,
clears up a mystery that has bafled
the medical fraternity for long time.
