The Burmese woman not only man

may be doubted If John Burman would

to their strength Of mind, for Bud

last analysis, it must be to the women
that we owe the beautiful pagodas. the

ROB CIGAR DEALER

L. p. Hoyt, an employe OF the Hol-
lenbeck cigar stand, was robbed of a
purse containing $50 while trying to
board q Maple avenue car at Fifth and
Spring streets Friday afternoon.
The pickpockets worked the old gag
of jostling their man and pushing n
paper In his face. The cleverness of
the crooks leads the police to believe
that the men were old ones at the
game.
According to Hoyt the car was well
filled at the time and In order to reach
a vacant seat inside the car he had to
push through n crowd of men standing
on the rear platform. Hoyt remembers
the man who pushed the paper in front
of his face, but said that he did not
think anything of IL until he reached
the seat, when he found that his pocket
had been picked. Before he could reach
the rear platform the two men had
left the car.
An incomplete description of the men
was furnished the police, but so far
they have not been able to apprehend
them,

TELLS POLICE OF
BARBER'S CHARGES
Customer Complains That Tonsoral
Expert Threatened to Kill Him
Unless Given Pay for
Work Not Ordered

Another case of alleged grating bar
bers getting in fine work on unsus-
pecting customers and charging exor-
btant prices for work not ordered was
reported to the police yesterday when
Louis LOWS, an elderly man, called
at the detectives office and demanded
that an officer be sent with him to
recover his hat from the barber shop
of O. A. Miller, 209 East Fifth street.
According to the old man the en-
ployes of that shop had threatened to
kill him if he did not pay for work
which they claimed to have given him
and which he denied ordering. Detec-
tive Davis was detailed on the case,
and in company with Lows went to
the shop, where the hat was returned
According to Lows he went into the
shop and ordered a haircut. While
the barber was working over him he
fell asleep. When he awoke he was
informed that his hair had been cut,
his beard trimmed and dyed and the
parts of his face not covered by q
beard had been massaged. The bar
bers told LOWS the bill was $3.50. This
amount the old man refused to pay,
and he claims the BARRIERS then threw
him from the shop and refused to give
him his hat until the bill was settled.
The police have had little difficulty
with grating BARRIERS for some time,
and Lows case was the first of its
kind reported for several months. In
the past there were a number of bar
ber shops in the city whose employees
used to graft customers, but officers
were detailed to stand in front of these
shops and inform customers of the
class of places they were entering, and
the grating business soon ceased.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2.-Mrs. Emma
Wooddale of 602 South Second street, q
patient in the city hospital, declared
Wednesday that the man who, against
her will, rescued her from drowning In
the Mississippi, ought to be made to
support her the remainder of her days
and provide the happiness which she
failed to find.
Mrs. Wooddale, who at first gave her
name as Maggie White" in the hope
of hiding her identity, leaped into the
river at the foot of Poplar street Tues
day, after a quarrel with the man she
loved, and was rescued by Henry
Evans, aided by five other rivermen.
She was unconscious when taken to the
hospital, and remained so until
Wednesday morning.
When revived she became so violent
that she was sent to the observation
ward to prevent any further attempt at
self-destruction.
II had nothing to live for. Why did
they not let me die?" she demanded of
the physician and nurse at her bed
side.
1.-The man I loved and for whom 1
deserted my husband had left me and
said he would not return. He took away
a pet dog he had given me. 1t was
Christmas day, and my mind went
back to my old home and childhood
happiness A longing to die and forget
my misery came over me and l walked
to the river.
"It was cold, and cakes of ice floated
by as 1 stepped on a wharfboat, drank
some whisky to give me more courage.
Then l leaped off the boat.
"As far as L was concerned, l had
given up my life. The one who made
me keep 1t should now be accountable
for it; should take care of me. Not
only that, but he should be made to
help me recover the happiness that
lost"
Mrs. Wooddale is 29 years old and
has lived in st. Louis two years. She
will recover, hospital physicians say.
AS she plunged from the wharfboat
several boys shouted and six rivermen
came from the sand diggers just south
of Poplar street.
George Finch and Henry Evans
rushed to the side of the boat and saw
her come floating toward them, cling
ing to a cake of ice. An eddy swung
her toward their craft and Evans
caught her dress with boathook.
Others helped him pull her aboard.

DIVORCE TO THREE WEDDINGS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 2.-Approxi-
mately one divorce suit for every three
marriages is the startling record dis
closed by a compilation of statistics at
the court house in Omaha for the first
eleven months of 1906. Up to December
154S marriage licenses had been issued
in 1906, and in the same period 484
divorce suits had been filed in the dis
trict courts. In nearly all cases filed
DEGREES were granted. The records show
that a very large percentage of the ap-
plicants for legal separation are from
eastern states. For the purpose of
securing divorces they have temporarily
resided in Omaha. The laxity of the
law, which permits legal residence to
be established in six months, is in q
great measure responsible for the start
ling growth of the divorce business
here. An effort will be made before the
legislature at the coming session to
secure a revision of the law on the basis
of the model law recommended by the
divorce congress at Philadelphia last
fall. An evil very prevalent in Omaha,
which is condemned by the divorce ex-
perts, is the withdrawal from the pub
lie files Of records in divorce cases by
lawyers.

CITY OFFICIALS FEASTED
AT RESTAURANT OPENING

Mayor Harper and his commissioners
Chief Kern and leading police officials
and other city officers were guests OF
honor at the opening of the Cafe Mar
tin, 1857 South Spring street, last
night. The tables were handsomely
decorated in honor OF the occasion and

The cafe is purely French. The pro-
prietor is a Basque and every waiter IN
the place is French. The cooking is the
highest of the French culinary art
The menus are printed chiefly In Eng
lish so that Americans with nothing
more than table d'hote education in
French can order without embar-
rassment.
