WOULD YOU PLEASE HUSBAND :

Young wife writes: II am very
fond of reading advice to newly-mar
ried folks. Recently l saw hint
that every husband is grati6ed if he
finds his slippers ready warmed for
him when he comes home evenings.
Please advise me as to the proper way
to warm slippers.
Go to the cellar and get hod of
coal. You should have slow fire
going in the kitchen range during the
afternoon. Rake the Goals down to a
level bed and pour in the hod of coal
and open the drafts. When the stove
pipe shows red to the ceiling and the
top of the range is a cream yellow,
and is so hot that drop of water will
evaporate when within two inches of
the surface, close the damper and
wait until the range cools down to
365 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have
no thermometer, borrow one from the
neighbor. ct is a small courtesy,
but one that will be appreciated if
you suggest to your neighbor to bring
her husbands slippers over and warm
them on your range.
Put the slippers in the oven, close
the door and go through the house,
singing merrily to yourself. From
time to time look at the slippers,
turning them occasionally so that
the heat may reach all sides of them.
They are we'll warmed when the toes
begin to curl. When this occurs,
place them on the back of the range,
covering them with a boiler lid. This
will retain the heat. When you hear
your husband coming up the steps,
take up the slippers on a toasting
fork and carry them to his den. Some
practical housewives garnish with
parsley, but this is matter of choice.

RENO, New, Aug. 1o.-Mrs. William
Ellis Corey, who recently obtained a

several weeks. She was accompanied by
her son Allan, and tomorrow her sister
in-law, Miss Addie Corey, will join her.
They will return to Pittsburg about
September 1, where they will probably

interesting in view of their statements

divorce trial that Reno was to be their
permanent residence.

SECURELY TIED To
PREACHER HILL.
Evangelist's California
Wife Fails to Sever
Her Marriage Bonds

OAKLAND, Aug. 10.-Judge ELS
worth today refused to annul the mar
riage of Mrs. Octavia Hill to the Rev.
j. F. c. Hill, which was solemnized in
San Jose a year ago Hill was party
to a common law marriage in Michigan,
and 1t was the purpose of his second
wifes suit to determine whether she
was legally married to him. Judge
Ellsworth decided that she was; that
it was the presumption of law that the
statutes of Michigan were the same as
those of California, which do not rec
ognize common law marriages.
Four years ago Hill, who is an evan
gelist and belongs to the Church of the
Nazarene, and Miss Mary Ross entered
into an agreement to live as husband and
wife. About two years ago they came
to Oakland but Miss Ross returned
to the East when she learned that
common law marriages were not rec
ognized here. After her departure Hill
met Miss Octavia Coffey, and about a
year ago they went to San Jose and
were married. Later Mrs. Octavia Hill
learned OF the contract marriage, and
she sued to have the second marriage
annulled on the ground that her hus-
band already had a wife from whom
he had never been divorced.
Judge Ellsworths decision that Mrs.
Hill No. is the legal wife OF Inc evan
gelist will probably result in the re-
union of the couple. Hill is now con-
Quoting revival services in Los An
geles, and his second wife, since she
learned of the contract marriage, has
been living with her sister in West
Oakland.
Judge Ogden today granted an inter
locutory decree of divorce to Lorenzo
D. Matthews from Lizzie Z. Matthews
on the ground of desertion. They were
married ten years ago in San Fran
cisco.
Alleging that her husband failed to
provide for her and that he drank to
excess, Hilda Marion Wilde today Sc
cured an interlocutory decree or di-
vorce from Richard Wilde Judge Og-
den granted her permission to resume
her maiden name of Flood. They We're
married in San Francisco in 1903 and
separated last year During their mar
ried life, the wife says, her husband
worked only two months. The rest OF
the time, she declares, he spent $50

HEARST ORGANS IN
REBELLION.
Denounce the Nominees
of the Cook County
Democratic Leaders

CHICAGO, Aug. 1O.-The Hearst
wing of the Democratic party in Cook
County is against the candidates de-
cided upon at yesterdays convention.
The Hearst papers state that the can
didates are owned body and soul by
National Committeeman Roger c. Sui
livan and William Loeffler. They are
attacked savagely by the Hearst organ
here and the ticket is referred to as
born in the infamy of "gas and tunnel
politics.
This action means a third ticket in
the field and the defeat of the Demo
cratic party at the polls in Novem-
Der. When the Hearst faction de-
cided to abide by the action of the
convention yesterday and made no eff
fort to bolt, the Sullivan-Loeffier poll
ticians thought all was serene in the
county Democratic ranks. They changed
their mind today and now realize that
whatever chances there were for vic
tory in November will be shattered
unless peace can be patched up in
some manner.

heart, Miss Bessie Thompson, was to
be married in a few hours to w. II.

to Connette that she would not marry
him. Instead. she will wed Captain

Believing that the young woman was
not serious In her announcement, Con-
nette obtained a license and informed
his sweetheart OF the fact shortly
after noon, less than three hours before
the ceremony was to have taken place
The young woman was steadfast in her
determination to break the engagement

Is the Venture Corporation of London,
Of which Ernest A. Wiltsee, formerly
of this city, is the American representa-
tive and Frederick Baker its manager
in London. Its interests are large in
Northern Mexico. and probably this fact
may explain why Manager Baker s
name was connected with that of
Greene and others in the affair at
Cananea.
One reason given for Identifying the
Venture Corporation with the affair is
that in case the plot to cause trouble
between Mexico and the United States
had been successful, and the question
Of ceding. the northern part of the State
of Sonora TO the United Staes as part
indemnity for any losses or injuries
this country might have sustained,
England would not have been disposed
TO interfere. owing to the interests her
wealthy mining companies have in the
disputed section of Sonora. In short
England would have been expected to
show for tire United States the same
friendly consideration in this case that
this country showed for England when
sne became involved in trouble with
:he South African republic through the
unsuccessful raid of Jameson and his
American and English followers.
Frank A Holton, a we'll known min
ing engineer who arrived here last
Tuesday from Sonora, said yesterday
that all fear of an uprising on Sep
tember Is had been allayed in Cananea
before he left Mexico.
If the Mexican authorities are on
the right trail" he said, there are
several American mining promoters
who viii not venture into that coun-
try for some time to come. If the
Cananea district was not the stake
these fellows were playing for they
had another in view. The ugly reports
and the agitation in Sonora has
alarmed a great many mine owners
who have either left the district and
abandoned their mines or will do so.
This will give those who remain a
chance to get possession of these prop
critics at their own figures.
Personally L do not believe that
there is any further cause for alarm.
The Mexican authorities are deter
mined TO protect Americans, and they
will do it at any cost 1t is rule
of that Government that when it gives
you anything it sees that your inter
ests are protected and the men who
undertook such rash movement
ought to have known this De Larn
and two of his companions are still in
prison and it is possible that they may
give .-e Government some valuable
information concerning the plot be-
fore they are liberated

saying that the message must be from
Bryan.

Finally the talk became serious and

HEARST WILL BE NAMED.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The Morning
Telegraph, the personal organ Of
Charles f. Murphy, leader Of Tammany
Hall, predicts that Hearst will receive
the regular Democratic nomination for
Governor. Murphy owns stock in the
Morning Telegraph, and the following
paragraph from an article in that
paper this Saturday morning is
therefore significant:
The Independence League has at
last set a date for holding its cenven-
ton. After -dallying and shifting
it's date time after time, it has finally
set upon September II and the place
as Carnegie Hall. Sixteen hundred
delegates are expected to be present.
This convention will be but a sideshow
to the performance under the big top.
1t is now fairly we'll conceded that
Hearst will receive the Democratic
nomination, in which case the conven-
ton of the Independence League will
be at best a superf1uity."
