 Can Wed Foreordained Mate.
REJECTED WOMAN NOT ANGRY
Tar and Feathers Have No Terrors For Ferdinand Pinney Earle, Who Has Discarded Wife Meet Her Successor. Writes Poem on Monoeamy.

Rochester, N. Y, Sept 4.-Defying the world to pass criticism upon his action, Ferdinand Pinney Earle, an artist and d son of the late General Ferdinand r. Earle, confirmed reports that his wife intended going to France immediately to secure a 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.
 Mir. Earle was found at his estate on Quaker hill. His wife had departed for New York to procure passage for the ocean journey. .......r.
 "I do not care what my neighbors think" said Mir. Earle. "They are wei come to their own views in this matter just as I 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, a real estate dealer, at 200 West Seventy-second street, New York. Mrs. Earle also admitted the truth of the divorce pact and declared that she was not jealous. #
 "NIy 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 MT. Earle. Is socialist. With her brother Frank she has been making her home at Quaker hill for the last ten days, but it 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 receive
 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 gratt 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 water lily. bred foam, | white. ..# | Though nursed in common clay and mud, | The river of true marriage is renewed. | It's countless brooklets rise as Tn n 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 its inevita. be dead
 Until the last sweet drop is sucked ta | heaven. MT. Earle said that in seeking new | wife he was striving to find some thing vigorous" in womanhood that he
 had failed to find before.
 Mr. Earle is d son of General Ferdf
 nand Pinney Earle. who managed the | Hotel Netherlands and the Hotel Nor.
 mandie at ie-by-the-Sea, N.
 and died in, January, 1906. The Earle family lived for some time in the his'
 toric Jumel mansion, which they re
 named Earle Cliff.
