WIFE LUNCHES
ON HUSBANDS EAR.
GRANTED DIVORCE FOR MUTT
LATED ORGAN
Woman Admits Act of Cannbaism
and Munches Wad of Chewing
Gum in Reminiscent
Manner

Alleging that his wife was so incon-
siderate as to bite his ear off, spit it out
on the floor and then sweep it out with
the trash the next morning, E. w.
Beary yesterday won his suit for di-
Vorce from his careless spouse, before
Judge Monroe of department. ST. OF the
superior court.
The case was originally set for trial
before Judge Wilbur, but yesterday it
was transferred to Judge Monroe's de-
partment and Beary took the stand in
his own behalf.
He told the court that he had mar
ried the woman two years ago and that
ever since then trouble has been ram
pant at his home. He displayed much
mutlated stump of an ear to the aston
ished Judge and stated that his wife
had become angered at him and had
Chewed his ear Off
He further testified that to add to the
indignity his wife had swept the audi
tory organ out Of the house and into
the yard with the dirt the next morn
ing.
So Turned Adrift
But Beary was not particular about
the ear. He was hurt and disgusted
because his wife had thrown him out OF
the house. on certain evening, ac-
cording to his testimony. he had re-
turned home from work only to find
that his wife had put all his belong
ings in his trunk and had dumped 1t
out of the window to the sidewalk.
where it met him with a lonesome and
desolate appearance as though telling
him of what awaited him beneath the
inhospitable roof.
The neighbors had heard what hap
pened when the husband politely asked
an explanation, but sufficient to say
that Beary and his trunk both found
new quarters. and the husband sued
for divorce.
After hearing the mans evidence yes
terday Judge Monroe refused to grant
a decree until the woman had had a
chance to tell her story of the ear-bit-
ing. Mrs. Sarah Beary was sent for
and the carniverous one appeared in
court and marched TO the witness
stand
Eyes I chewed his ear Off" said Mrs.
Beary I'm a reminiscent sort OF a way.

A REPORT OF SUICIDE.
An Investigation Proves Midship

ably a Hoax.

rumor reached this city this morn
ing that one Of the midshipmen of
hte first class who had been found de-
ficient IN studies had attempted sui-
eide last night. Investigation of the
report among the midshipmen and
the Academy authorities indicated
that it was baseless
The report is probably a huax on
the part of some midshipmen who
like joke. Some of them have the
mistaken idea that all the newspapers
are misrepresenting them aud are
holding all newspaper men respon-
sible for some of the unfair articles
or headlines that have been publish
ed, aud are misleading them in re-
gard TO certain matters.
Some time ago q number of mid
shipmen quite thoughtlessly, no,
doubt, led the newspaper men in at
tendance on the hazing courts TO
believe that charges had been filed
against midsbipman who was entire
ly free from such offenses. It resulted
in the members of his family being
very much worried az the publication
of the reports.

Saw Whole Buildings Swallowed Up In
Valparaiso.
Santiago, Chile, Aug. 21-Carlos Ed
wards, one of the proprietors of the
Mercurio of Valparaiso, has arrived
here on horseback from that city. He
confirms the reports that the Almen-

city the inhabitants were wandering
about looking for relatives and friends.
The majority of the inhabitants, he
says, have sought refuge on the hills,
In the park and along the seashore.
The administration building and the
Victoria theater had disappeared even
to their foundations. The marine ar
senal was only slightly damaged, but
none of the private residences was
habitable. In spite of the desolation
perfect order was maintained by the
troops. The military ambulances were
gathering up the wounded and dead.
When Mr. Edwards left Valparaiso
1t was impossible to determine the
number of persons killed; but, accord
ing to his estimate, the number of lives
lost was small when the extent of the
catastrophe was taken into considera-
ton. At one depot he saw fifty bodies.
The main hotel was standing, and all
the guests escaped injury, but Mr.. Ed

Stale Food In Tins.


Washington, Aug. 21.-The demand
for the placing of labels on canned
goods, showing the date of canning, has
received reinforcement from army Off
GERS in the Philippine Islands. Colonel
G. A. Williams, commanding the de-
partment of the Visayas. in report to
the war department says that most edi-
BILE canned or timed goods deteriorate
with age and that the chief commissary
recommends that all such purchased
by the subsistence department be re-
quired to bear a paSter or label show
ing name and place of canner and
month and year of canning. 1t is rec
commended that specifications for such
stores be provided by the commissary
general similar to those now used for
the providing of canned bacon, canned
beef and canned corn beef hash, to in
sure the canning of a sound, healthful
article in a cleanly, healthful manner
and free from preservatives and color

Colonel Williams urges improvement
