Such are the man and woman in
this case. He is the average business

and of education. Hartje says he does
not need the evidence of the negro to
support his case, that he has plenty
of proof against her without that. He
alleges that he can prove her guilty
of intimacy with other men, white
men, and has plenty of testimony to
that effect. That is what has lost him

When Hartje filed his divorce suit
his attorney secured an order from
court to take the testimony of Cliff
ford Hooe, who was alleged to be
about to leave the city and the state.
Hooe is the colored coachman named
by Hartje as correspondent The at
torneys for Hartje now say that they
will not use the mans story. They
say they have plenty of evidence with
out 1t, and did not need it in the first
place. 1t is in connection with Hooe's
statement that the attorneys for Mrs,
Hartje and the district attorney
threaten to bring criminal proceedings
for conspiracy.

Hooe's story was first related to
Hartje by John l.. Welshons. presi-

TREE-DESTRoYING RIVER.

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 whirling
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 it was a distinct shiver that ran
through the entire tree, but was most
marked in the upper branches; mo-
ment later the tree would bend grace
fully forward as if bowling to it's
enemy. An instant's pause and it
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 it would
roll over and over, tangling it's
branches into a great skeleton wheel,
rolling faster and faster as the
branches became more impacted and
presented fewer projecting points to
catch and hold 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.

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
a 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. Hartje'S 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 a millionaire for her
children and her name as faithful
wife and mother, is one of the most
remarkable things about it all.
Hartje Mt 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
800 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.

upon the public October 10, 1905, when

Hartje Described.
AS a man Hartje has been rather a
negative character That is as q man
among men. In business he stands
well. lis 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 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 $1,000 or $4,000
for fine horse and wonder at his
wife's 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 spend
thrift and a man who led 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 Hawthorne S
House of Seven Gables" 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
a wife.
Good Woman and Mother.

A freight car shortage is reported by
shippers all over the country on the
Grand Trunk railroad. The reason for
this is that the railroad is sending all
of their cars to the Georgian Bay route
to carry grain to Portland, Maine, the
terminus of the q. II. railroad. The
Grand Trunk elevators are nearly full
of grain and as a result there will be
only three more boats unloaded this
fall. The large cars turned out by the
Block shops are sent to the elevator
to help relieve the shortage there, and
the smaller ones are sent to the freight
sheds which are badly cOngested with
freight at the present time. After nav
igation closes the amount of grain
shipped on the Georgian Bay route will
decrease and the cars will be sent back
to the manufacturing districts TO at
tend to the large freight business. Port
