Magistrate Corrigan of New York
recently advised a detective to use
short words in his testimony-"said
yes" instead OF ~"assented," went
instead OF proceeded" and 30 forth.
Long, unusual words. except in
scientific writings, are unnecessary
said the well known magistrate to
a reporter the other day. They are
as unnecessary, and they spoil the
effect as-as-but I'll tell o a
story.
"A lecturer was describing the sea
He told OF the seas size, its power
its inhabitants. Then he said In i'm
pressive tones:
There are depths In the sea
wherein the loftiest mountain ranges
could be easily hidden from View
"A solemn man in black rose a,
this point.
81 desire to ask one question: he
said pomopusly.
Very well.' said the lecturer, with
a gracious nod.
81 wish to know said the solemn
man. how you will move The
ranges.'"-New Orleans State.

A Sensational Development In tn,
Pittsbura Divorce Gaze.


New York. Oct. l6.-lda Scott, the
l7.year-old sister OF Mrs. Hartje, wife
Of the millionaire paper manufacturer
OF Pittsburg, Is the latest victim,
1t was learned today, OF the charac'

with the suit, the young girl has
been sent away from the fashionable
school In Morristown. n. j., presided

for n %reopening of his 'ivorce suit
against his beautiful VIE. formerly
Mary Scott, on the strength Of new
evidence said to have been contained
In letters written by Ida Scott and
her other sister, Helen.
These letters. 1t is alleged, were
sold to Mr.. Hartje by Howard w
Lappe, whose elopcment with Ida
was stopped by Mrs. Hartje. In
them were contained startling and
sensational statements, the princi'
pal of which was that the Scott
girls had for months blackmailcd
their father by means of threats
to give against their sister evidence
that would enable her husband to
reopen his divorce case and win it.
That information reached the eyes
OF Miss Newell, assistant to Miss
| Dana, in the latter's boarding school
In Morristown.
A few days later, last Friday, Miss
Scott was suddenly taken away from
the seminary and hidden In some
place unknown, where it was hoped
she would not be discovered by news

alleged, who called for her last Fri
