To AFFINITY
CASE OF FREE LOVE THAT
BREAKS UP ONE HOME TO
BUILD ANOTHER.
Wife QuIETLysuBM|Ts
ECCENTRIC PAINTER, WITH LONG
WHISPERS AND UNkEMPT
HAIR, LOVES ANOTHER.

Chicago, Ill.-Mrs. Ferdinand Earle,
Jr., wife of an artist, who is the son of
the late General Ferdinand P. Earle,
hotel man, has surrendered her hus-
band to the woman he loves better
than he does her. Mrs. Earle and her
little son will sail for her fathers
home in France. At the pier to bid
her good-by will be her husband and
the other woman" For the last ten
days Mr.. and Mrs. Earle have had the
"other woman" as their guest at their
country place in Orange county. With
them also was the "other woman's"
mother and brother.
Mrs. Earle leaves her husband to
the other woman willingly. She in
tends to return to France and obtain
divorce. Then Mr.. Earle will marry
rifice willingly, because she has been
convinced her husbands happiness de-
pends on it. According to Earle, it is
case of finding his affinity. He
says:
"A few months ago l went to Eu-
rope, where my brother was dying On
the steamer | met the young woman,
who lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
She was a socialist, like myself, and,
like me, she believed not in free love,
but freedom of love when it opposes
the dictates of social proprieties We
talked over these matters. | had pre-
yiously talked with many advocates of
free love and condemned their ideals.
But love that is trammeled by absurd
conventions should break its bonds.
This young women and | saw much of
each other in France. We became at
tached. We realized that our mar
riage had been foreordained before
our birth, and was to continue for
ever. When this knowledge came to
us | went to my wife's father in
France and told him the whole stu
alton"
Earle says that he is acting on his
convictions, and maintains that his
scheme of life is one designed to Sc
cure happiness.
Earle admits that his wife, a French
woman whom he married ten years
ago, was very dear to him, but that
eventually something began to arise
between them which he cannot ex-
plain. This state of affairs grew con-
|, tinuously.
When he came home and told his
wife he persuaded her that it was best
to part Then the woman who was
his real affinity, he says, came to his
home and met his wife. Her mother
came with her and later her brother,
and all have since lived in harmony
under the same roof, according to the
artists story.
Earle insisted on calling his wife,
dainty little woman. slim and pale.
| who confirmed his story. Because of
his peculiarly outstanding shock of
hair, which he never covers with
hat when driving over the roads or
through the village, his heavy beard
and his habit of wearing sandals oc-
casonally in the village, Mr.. Earle is
thought to be eccentric in Monroe.
Mr.. Earle says he is friend and ad-
mirer of Upton Sinclair

TUNNEL TWELVE MILES LONG.
Immense Undertaking That Will Mean
Millions to Colorado.

Denver.-A tunnel twelve miles long,
through a series of mountains, carry
ing body of water seventeen feet
wide and twelve feet high, is one of
the projects of the Central Colorado
Power Company This immense tun-
mel, which will be dug at their Sho-
shone plant, near Glenwood Springs.
will be the longest and the largest of
the kind in the world. At certain sea-
sons of the year it can carry almost the
entire body of water in the Grand
rivel
This tunnel is just part of one plant
There are three plants under way, and
| it is understood that sites for still ad-
ditional plants are being considered
by the company. 1t developed that a
part of the power of these immense
plants will be used for electrifying
portion of the Union Pacific railway
over the heavy grades and probably
for the purpose of electrifying it's lines
in and about Denver.
The officers of the companies and
those associated with them decline to
discuss their plans for publication at
information will not permit their
names to be used.
The immense tunnel which is to be
dug at the Shoshone plant will be
first constructed for a distance of two
miles and will generate 10000 horse
power. The tunnel will ultimately be
dug for an additional ten miles, which
will make it twelve miles long when
completed, and treble the CAPACITY of
the plant. 1t will make the largest
flume in the world used for the pur-
pose Of developing water power. 1t
will go directly through a range of
mountains and will have a sufficient
! drop to develop a tremendous force.
which will be used in generating elec-
trio power. 1t will be as large as q
| railroad tunnel.
The plans for electrifying part of the
Union Pacific are being carried on
by the railroad company in New York

A Wholesome Chance.

Slavery in its best aspect implied a
moral obligation. The author of I'm
Gle Toms Cabin" softened the terrible
arraignment by the chapters on the
old-style southern slave-owner, with
his ingrained sense of responsibility
to his living chattels. With the de-
struction of slavery this standard
passed. Underlying the upward, eco
nomic struggle of the south is story
OF savage exploitation of the negro
through his fatal self-indulgence.
Drink, drugs and debt-these three
were made the chains of a new and
subtle enslavement. Narcotics sold
by the very employers of labor
served, on the one hand. to return to
the Golfers of the employer all that
he had paid out in wages; on the
other, to keep his black workman in
subservience Within few years CO
caine had been distributed as a regu-
lar ration to the emergency workers
on threatened levees, ito keep them
up to the work" That system has,
happily, passed. The boss" who de-.
bauches his men with liquor or drugs
is to-day despised; in many sections
he is not tolerated. The negro may
keep his wage if he will but work hon
estly and, not less important, consist
emily for it. With the dawning of eco
nomic wisdom has come a recrudes-
cence of the nobler spirit of slavery
days, the responsibility of the master
to the servant The negro who
chooses to be self-supporting and self
respecting has better chance, says
Golfers, than ever before under the
wise guardianship of the new south.

No Quarre! with Time.

According to the poet we are speed.
ing forever down the ringing grooves
of change, and this is nowhere more
apparent than in the alterations in the
popular taste for the better. every
thing considered. A writer in the
New York Evening Post, in alluding
to this matter, says that those who
occupy the benches in the public
parks on summer afternoon to listen
to the band are no longer satisfied
with the Star Spangled Banner" and
a medley from the comic operas, but
must have selections from Wagner
they may not be averse to little Of
Richard Straus thrown in, we sup
pose, by way Of dessert in the musical
feast. There is like fastidiousness
In regard to painting, due to the in
fiuence of the museum of fine arts and
picture exhibitions. Chromos, even
when they are copies of celebrated
paintings, have lost their vogue, and
the fashion for fruit and flower pieces
is going out, while marines repre-
senting heart-rending shipwrecks,
have been superseded, it is somewhat
satirically observed, by Waves with
cotton wool crests and splash Of
moonlight which discloses nothing be-
cause it is so suggestive" A change
IN IN toe Of ;e n1c
parent in the demand for short stories
in dialect to replace the old-fashioned
serial novels. Continued works of fic-
tion in the monthly magazines still
have their admirers, though the ma
jority of readers no longer like bloody
tales of the frontier type or long
drawn out sensational narratives of
unhappy brides and ghostly visitants
Instead they prefer a story concern
ing the fair settlement worker who
lives among the poor and perhaps
makes a romantic marriage, or &C.
counts of automobile adventures in
which the heroine has many lucky es-
capes from perils of various kinds.
In sermons, too, the ministers keep
abreast Of the times in short dis
courses, treating the topics of the
hour as they bear on moral and reli-
gious life, and do not model their SER
mons after the fathers, who too often
had sleepy congregations. What was
fine enough in the departed days, that
we hear so much praise about, says
Boston Budget, is not adapted to the
present. With Tennyson, we hold it
well good things should pass, and
with the changes of time we need not
quarrel. They are usually in the direc
ton Of progress.
