Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic

harm in the long run. Besides they

kiiLLioNAlRE PROMISED TO
GIVE HER HIS PALATiAL

agreements which she said existed be.
tween herself and the Commodore. he
was to turn over to her his palatiai
steam yacht, Golden Rod. in which,
she said, she had paid out $4,000 in
furnishings.
The late Commodore Watt figured
in the sensational suit for divorce,
naming the Rev. DR.. yandewater and
Capt. W. H. Tremanne. This action
was opposed by Mrs. Watt.
The suit is fought by John c. Shaw,
a lawyer, as executor of the estate of
the late Commodore. Mr.. Shaw made
application TO the Supreme Court ask
ing that the plaintiff should furnish
a bill Of particulars, itemizing the iif-
ferent grounds of her claim.
Justice Newburger today granted
the application. In the affidavit Shaw
said that the plaintiff brought suit
originally against Commodore Watt
and had set forth that it was to re-
cover damages for loss sustained by
her owing to Watts failure to comply
with the terms of the agreement upon
the, payment of certain sums by her.
The plaintiff also asserted that false
statements had been made about her.
and that she was led to expead about
$4,000 for fittings for the yacht. Other
damages are put at 100000. Shaw de-
MES that any fraus was committed by
the late Commodore. his servants or
agents, but that If any fraud was COM
mitted it was by the plaintiff.

LIFE WITHOUT MIND.

The possibility of life without mind
while not subject of positive proof,
is theory that has gained consider
able strength recently through its
advocacy by DR.. L. Laloy, librarian of
the Academy of Sciences of Paris
He believes that many Of the smaller
living organisms, as insects, are
mere moving machines, having no
more intelligence than may be as.
cribed to plants. He refers to the
well known fact that insects are at.
tracted by light, often to their own
destruction. and uascribes It to the
same cause that inclines the plant to
grow toward the light.
