concluded his argument in the hearing
of the suit for divorce brought in TINS
city by Mrs A Hart Mckee. formerly
Mrs Hugh Tevis of California, and a
daughter of Colonel George w. Baxter
of Tennessee, against her husband
with a severe arTaignment OF Mrs. Nc
kee Instead of marrying his wife for
the purpose of robbing his stepSon ana
stepdaughter. as the plaintiff alleged
and trying to induce Colonel Baxter
to renounce the rights upon her for
tune Of $3.50. coo, held in trust, NJ. La
bOri declared il was Mckee who ar
ranged the trust in order 20 prevent
the dissipation of the fortune. He de-
scribed the wife as constantly quar-
reling with members of her family
and driving everybody.
He argued that the testimony given
by the servants of Mrs. Mckee against
her husband was not worthy of cred
ence, and concluded his argument
with the statement that Mr.. Mckee
made no charges against his wife S
honor.
Armand Dorville assistant to Maitre
Rarc0ux, counsel for Mrs. Mckee, ap-
reared in behalf of Colonel Baxter,
who is being sued by Mr.. Mckee be-
cause of alleged defamatOry declara-
tons made by him and published in
American newspapers. NJ. DOrville
pleaded that the French court was not
competent to assess damages for these
publications. Besides this. he denied
that Colonel Baxter or Mrs. Mckee
were responsible for the publications.
and explained they were the result of
the inexhaustible energy expressed by
the American newspaper reporters IN
ferreting out scandal NJ. DorVille ar
gued that any suits for damages
should be brought in the United
States, and then not against Colonel
Baxter but against the newspapers.
He said. however. that Mr.. Mckee did
not dare to bring suit in America,
where his record YVES known.
During the course of his pleading,
NJ. Dorville admitted. in behalf of Col
onel Baxter. that his daughter had
committed grave faults against her
father, but said that when Colonel
Baxter learned of the deplorab BILE situa-
ton that existed between her and Mr..
Mckee he needed only his heart aud
FASTENED to his daughters side.

Charges.

New York, April 1.-The charges
preferred against Chancellor Day of
Syracuse university by the Rev.
George A. Cooke of Brandon. VT. were
ruled out of court by Bishop David H.
Moore at the opening of the 1G9th ses-
sion of the New York Methodist Epis-
cOpal conference today.
Bishop Moore, in dismissing the
charges, said he regarded the COM
plant against Chancellor Day as a di-
rect attack upon free speech and free
press. The decision was greeted with
cheers and Iong-continued applause.
Day Made No Defense.
The charges against Chancellor Day
contained five counts. and We're TO the
effect that he had DETAINED President
Roosevelt in some of his public utter
ances. DIR. Day made no effort to an

In his address announcing the deci-
sion to throw out the charges of Mr.
Cooke, Bishop Moore said that the
same charges might just as well be
brought against some member of the
United States senate as against Dr.

club to raise funds for the erection OF the
building was discussed at length. Then
some one suggested that the members o.
the Commercial club purchase 9 per cent

required. The suggestion met with IN

oarently tried to see if he could not be the
first to subscribe for the bonds Nitmn

themselves S57. 500. which was subscribed
to the building fund, over one-fourth or

BIT OF DENVER INGENUITY.

Resident Devises Scheme to Keep
Cat Out of the Baby's Buggy.
Albert J. Gates, secretary Of the In
dustrial Building and oLan Associa-
ton is the proud possessor Of baby
buggy-alSo of nice, friendly old cat,
says the Denver Post. The cat, for
some time past, has had a habit Of
using the baby buggy as place Of re-
pose. Every time Mr.. Gates wished to
put that buggy in use he would find
dear old kitty asleep in 1t. Being
averse to pushing a cat around in a
baby buggy, Mr.. Gates would always
dump poor kitty out. Kitty's habit Of
hopping into the buggy bothered Mr..
Gates and he decided to try to break
her of 1t. He studied and studied and
finally framed up joke on kitty. He
got big pan and filed it with water.
Then he placed the pan in the, baby
buggy. That was one evening not long
ago. 1t was only a short time till in
came kitty.
ooh, fiddler she thought. II might
as we'll take q little nap. I'll have a
good sleep in that buggy if Albert will
let me alone"
Kitty gave jump, sailed through
the air and landed squarely in the pan
OF water.
Did you ever jump into bed and land
in a pan Of water? If you have done
this you can realize how put out kitty
felt.
ooh, DEAR" she thought. II guess
might as well get out Of this"
She did. She jumped again and land
ed on the floor. Then she started for
the bathroom to get a towel. AS she
went through the door she spied Mr..
Gates.
Darn you, Albert!" was all kitty

nIarringo by Halter.

Among ignorant people of English
birth it was once the belief that a wife
bought with money or goods was legally
married if the purchaser led her ali the
way home by halter.
Barring Gould, the English antigua.
rian, told of a village poet known tc
him who bought wife for half
crown and led her twelve miles to his
cottage. The squire and the rector pro-
tested to the village poet that he was
not legally welded.
"Why, yes, 1 be-" he replied. "IIl
take my Bible oath I never once took
the halter off till she'd crossed the
doorsill and the door was Shut
The latest instances of such wife
sales occurred in 1853 and 1859, when
women were sold in Little Horton and
in Dudley. In these cases a blue rib
bon took the place of the straw halter.

Output of United States Small

The mad roar of explosive delight
through which the people passed July
4 in their celebration of the nations
birthday anniversary, with it's result
ant accidents to individuals and it's de-
struction of property by fire, is follow
ed by the announcement that asbestos
is within the reach Of those who con-
struct theaters, halls and other public
places of amusement, and home as
well.
The information concerning the use
full material contained in recent bull
letin of the United States geological
survey indicates that only 653 tons
constituted the output Of asbestos in
the United States during the year
1907, which is a small fraction of the
amount used in this country.
"The sporadic use Of asbestos can

application on q commercial scale.
About the same time specimens of fine
Canadian asbestos were exhibited
abroad. In 1873 fifty tons were ship
ped from Canada to England, and
after that date the advances in the APP
plication of asbestos In commerce be-
came rapid.
Asbestos was at first used only for
spinning and weaving, to make incom-
bustible thread, yarn, rope and cloth,
and this use has continued to be it's
most important application ever since
the days of the Greeks and Romans.
OF late, however, it has been widely
used in electrical arts and as a basis
of insulation which must withstand
rather high temperatures, and also as
a fibrous binder for a great number Of
insulating compounds. 1t is practic-
ally the only fiber Of a refractory ma
ture that is at the same time an cleo
trical insulator Of high order.
Further, asbestos is not affected by
many of the active chemical agents
likely to attack most insulators. 1t is
also extensively used for boiler and
pipe coverings to prevent heat radia-
ton, as well as for theater curtains
and other fireproof cloths or fabrics
