MRS. LADINI. sHoRN.
Says Jealous Husband Cropped Her
Hair While She Was Asleep.


New York, July 19.-Mrs. Rosie
Lamn, like other lambs. objects to be-
ing shorn, and she had her husband.
Louis Lamm, before Justice Mclean in
the supreme court yesterday, to an
swer her suit for divorce, basing her
claims for a separation upon ch argos
of cruelty among which was the cut
ting of her hair while she was asleep.
The Lamns were married last Feb
ruary and went to live in the rear of
the husbands jewelry store, No. so
Pitt street. According TO testimony,
the marriage was a family arrange
ment. and the couple had only seen
each other a few times before the
ceremony. Differences began almost
Immediately.
The wife claims her husband was ex-
tremely jealous and one day. while she
was asleep, cropped her hair close to
the head, saying. Now you look like
an old woman, no one will flirt with
you now
The husband denied the charges and
claims he did not shear Mrs. Lamm.
He says her hair was cut by the moth
ers of the couple. in compliance with
an old Jewish custom which requires
all married women to cut their hair
when marrying and wear a wig. He
also alleges that her mother accom-
panied himself and his wife to a hair
establishment to purchase a wig.

this city and fortune has smiled upon
her continually since that time.
Miss Parker has spent the greater
portion of her life in Topeka, coming
with her parents to the city from ner
home in Memphis, Tenn. when but a
small child. She is an excellent speci-
man of that striking style of southern
beauty over which audiences rave and.
particularly when accompanied by tai
ent such as that possessed by her.
Nature has been exceptionally kind
to Miss Parker, lavish in its bestoWaI
of natural charms, crowning all with
judges say is bound to land its pos
SCISSOR in the front rank of the prima
donnas. 1t was while she was handling
a minor part in Kansas City in 1903
that Joe Weber, of Webers Music hall
in New York city. heard of her charms
and her work and Immediately recog-
nizing the possibilities of securing a
star, sent for her and after listening to
her singing Immediately signed her for
his music hall where she has since that
time scored many marked successes.
While Miss Parker's success has been
in chorus and solo work in the past
she appreciates the possibilities of the
legitimate and is studying with this In
view though she viii not essay any
thing of that kind for a season or two.
She will remain in Topeka for another
week when she will leave for New York
to prepare for her winters work which
comedy which will open the frst Of Sep
TENDER for a long run in one Of New
York City's better play houses.
There is a charming personality about
Miss Parker which in itself is enough
to win her fame before the footlights
even though it We're accompanied by
voice of less beauty and richness. Il
am thinking of changing my name.
said Miss Parker and when congratu-
lated on the possibilities of the APP
preaching matrimonial event she said:
"Oh, no. no, not that way but you see
Beuhla is such an odd sounding name
for one in the profession which I am
following and it seems so out of place
like. It is such a Sunday school like
name and even as much as I hear
it. it constantly reminds me of my early
childhood days when with my play
mates we sang oh, Beulah Land, and
/ kindred songs
An excellent half tone picture of Miss
Parker appears in the current number
of the Red Book.

MAN ATTACKED BY BoARs.
Has Narrow Escape From Infatuated
Pigs in Their Sly.

Poughkeepsie, \. Y. July 19.-For
mer Assemblyman Robert Winthrop
Chanler had thrilling adventure at
Rokeby, the Chanler estate at Barry
town. when he was forced to fight for
his life against a herd of maddened
Whitechester hogs.
Mr.. Chanler, who is a grandson of
John Jacob Aston and who is an artist
of some note and an active Democratic
politician, spends his summers in over
alls and farm boots on his estate. Mr.
Chanler was walking home from the
Chanler park, where college baseball
team is supported by him, when he
heard an unusual commotion among
his hogs of which he is an extensive
breeder. He went to the stock inclo-
sure and found that the sows with
their filters of young had escaped from
the stys into the large stock yard.
Without seeking assistance or think
ing of personal danger Mr.. Chanler-
armed only with a switch. stepped into
the yard and commenced driving the
pigs to the adjoining inelosure. where
they belonged. Several of the bOars
had been driven to their quarters and
Mr. Chanler started for a big SOW
which surrounded by litter of pigs,
crouched in corner Near her was
an equally massive boar with long
tusks extending from the upper jaw.
As Mr.. Chanler approached the SOW
the boar grunted threateningly.
Then the animal stood on his hauneh-
es and growled- With his mouth open
he started for Mr.. Chanler, throwing
his heavy bulk on him. Mr.. Chanler
sidestepped. If there had been only one
animal to contend with he would have
mastered it without difficulty. but the
growing and squealing had aroused the
SOW and the other bears and those that
had gone quietly to their pens returned
and Joined with the leading assailants.
Mr. Chanler managed to keep his foot
ing and by kicking the pigs kept them
at bay until his strength began to fail
him. He backed into corner and
keeping his feet going as fast as posi-
BILE drove all off at a short distance ex-
cept the big boar. which again stood on
his hind legs and advanced.
Hearing the squeals and Mr.. Chan
ler's cries for help, J. Lewis Daley and
the other ball players ran to the pens,
calling on workmen in the fields to help.
Daley grabbed UP a pitchfork and rush
ed on the boar just as it made a lunge
with all its weight and mouth open for
AR Chanler. Daley jammed the prongs
into the boar's mouth. The animal
crunched up the steel tines as If they
were Of straw and held them fast.
Daley held onto the handle and all
the men made a concerted attack and
drove the animals back TO their stys.

Chicago Financier Has Two Millions
for the Chicago Southern.

Chicago, July 1e-The Chicago
Southern railroad is to be completed
within a short time and the dream of
John r. Walsh to become a railroad
magnate will come true.
From most reliable sources it has
been learned that an emissary sent to
New York last week by Mr.. Walsh and
a small syndicate of men who were
forme rly associated with him has been
successful in raising the necessary
funds to complete the road. 1t is said
that about two million dollars is all
that is required and that the road will
be in operation in about three months.
This news will come not only as a
surprise to the railroad men who
shortly after the Walsh failure began
dickering for the purchase of these
railroad properties, but it Will be an
unWelcoTne surprise. They had not
given up hopes Of getting these proper
ties yet. and at their own price. for
they have been banking all the time
upon tn inability Of Walsh to raise the
necessary funds to complete the Chi
cago Southern.

money when il becomes known to
them, may change their attitude. and
