"rtSS6 Foem on WonoSamys
 Rochester, N. r., Sept. 4.-Defying the world to pass criticism upon his action, Ferdinand Pinney Earle, an artist and son of the late General Ferdinand P. Earle, confirmed reports that his wife intended going to France immediately to secure divorce in or der that he might marry his affinity" young woman who has been a guest at his home for the last ten days. MT. Earle was found at his estate on Quaker hill. His wife had departed for New York to procure passage for the ocean journey.
 T do not care what my neighbors think" said MT. Earle "They are well come to their own views in this matter just as am entitled to mine. It was entirely my own plan that my wife should go to France so that she might obtain divorce and that might mar " the woman to whom I am irresisti- bly, drawn.
 "If any attempt is made to tar and feather me by the residents of this section it will afford me good oppor- tunity to teach the people my views on socialism"
 Not Jealous, Says Wife.
 At the time her husband was making this statement Mrs. Earle was located in the office of his brother, Victor Earle, real estate dealer, at POO West Seventy street, New York. Mrs. Earle also admitted the truth of the divorce pact and declared that she was not jealous.
 "My husbands happiness is my chief concern" said Mrs. Earle. "and so I am going quietly away. He is entirely welcome to his affinity"
 When she left Quaker hill Mrs. Earle was accompanied to the station by her husband and the young woman he intends to make his wife. At the Earle home 1t was said this young wo- man was Miss Julia Cutler of Manhat- tan She is thirty years old and, like Mir. Earle, is a socialist. With her brother Frank she has been making her home at Quaker hill for the last ten days, but 1t was said that she would resume her residence in New York immediately after the departure of Mrs. Earle for abroad and that she would not again live under the same roof with MT. Earle until the divorce has been obtained and the marriage ceremony had been performed. 
 Wife to Take Son. MT. Earle showed no reluctance in discussing the divorce pact made with his wife. The sole sacrifice that either would make, he said, would be on his part in giving up his two-year-old son Harold to his wife. He said that the assurance that the child would receiv a good home and the protection of a loving mother was the only thing that prompted him to make the sacrifice.
 Mir Earle said that he had written the following poem on monogamy and that in the verses was expressed his reason for taking the proposed step: Loves purest spring Is memory's grati-
 tude.
 From the first kiss of April in the blood, From the last tear upon its sea born
 flood,
 From out the spirits ice bound altitude, On from deep beatitude.
 Uprising like a water lily, bred foam white.
 Though nursed in common clay and mud. The river of true marriage is renewed. Its countless brooklets rise as in dream And flow beyond the heights of youth; Some driven in mighty tumult by strange
 passion.
 Some led through winding fairyland. Fondly each stream cleaves to It's inevita- ble dead
 Until the last sweet drop is sucked to
 heaven.
 Lived In Jun1el Mansion.
 Mfr. Earle said that in seeking new wife he was striving to find some thing vigorous" in womanhood that he had failed to find before.
 Mir. Earle is a son of General Ferdi- nand Pinney Earle, who managed the Hotel Netherlands and the Hotel Nor mandie at Normandie-by-the-Se \. J., and died in January. 1906. The Earle family lived for some time in the his toric Jumel mansion, which they re- named Earle Cliff.
