experienced lately in Seattle and other
northern cities.

the extent Of the trouble beyond Gill

CHILDREN REUNITE
EsTRANGED PARENTS
Wealthy Boston Shoe Man Again
Marries His Divorced
Wife.

Boston, May 19.-The reconciliation
Of a divorced couple, in which their two
children played an important part, has
just come to light here, in the an
nouncement of the remarriage of John
Walter May, the prominent shoe manu-
facturer, to Minnie s. May, the daugh-
ter of former Governor Woodbury. of
Vermont, and one of the best-known
society women of New England.
The Mays, who moved in the most
fashionable circles of the Back Bay Sec
ton, were quietly divorced April Is,
but the fact was not made known until
the return of the marriage certificate
was recorded today.
1t was less than three years ago that
Mrs. May startled society by bringing
suit for divorce, naming woman whom
her husband was said to have met in
Maine. The Mays up to that time had
entertained lavishly, their carriage was
| seen daily, and the mansion, in this city
on which the wealth of two families had
been spent, was the scene of many gath.
erings. All this suddenly stopped and
| Mr.. May left the city. - --
| Hardly had the divorce been granted
| to the wife, however, when the first
steps for a reconciliation were taken
and the slumbering love of the parents
was reawakened by the, two children,
the eldest of whom is not over 10.
Mrs. May is a charmingly attractive
woman of 35, and said to be wealthy
| in her own right. Her husband is a
handsome, well-built man, three years
| her senior, and has been an exhibitor
| at the New York horse show. The
couple were first married fourteen
| years ago.

This brief message, received from
her grandson, Frank Fischer of San
Francisco, had such an effect upon Mrs.
Mary M. Behn, of No. 81 Douglass
street, who had been worn out with
anxiety while awaiting news Of him
from the stricken city, that she died in
a few minutes. Her physician declared
that her joy at the message had caused
reaction that brought on an attack
Of heart failure. =.--
When first reports began to arrive
from San Francisco, Ms. Behn, who
was 10 years old and VINO had recently
recovered from an attack Of pneumonia,
insisted upon having every line Of the
news read to her. Telegraphic messages
were sent to San Francisco, but no re-
plies were received. Day followed day,
with no tidings of her favorite grand
child, and the aged woman would sit
for hours at the window to be the first
to catch sight of the postman. "
When she saw the postman approach
ing the house she became excited, hur.
ried to the door, and with hama treln-
bling with eagerness took the letter
which he proffered, read it, and with
faint cry she fell backward. She

* French spoliation claim more than
100 years old. -. -.... =. +
S. w. Curtiss of the Garden City
Sand company, an heir Of one of the
owners of the American brig William
and George, is. the recipient Of the
money, which was sent by Edwin c.
Ward Of New York, administrator Of
the estate of Chauncey Gleason, mer-
chant of Pennington, Conn.
Gleason in 1898 was part owner in
the saucy brig that sailed toward the
West Indies only to be captured by a
French privateer The brig was con
demned and sold by order Of a French
tribunal The owners clamored in vain
for their rights, but they lived and died
without getting them, and the vessel
probably was used by Frenchmen until
it's timbers gave way and it found it's
grave.
Many years afterward the American
government assumed the spoliation
claims. About twenty years ago the
matter was referred to the United
States court of claims for adjudica-
ton. It is stated that Gleason's share
was much greater than that allowed,
but expenses cut it down.
