better TO good meat than OF the unrarllab

II you would see a horse strapped,

at the old time country fair Here
comes an awkward flea bitten gray
which never went under $50 in his
life. He is hobbled and checked and
gogglcd and hitched up sidewlse,

Snapdragon Seed Pods.

The antirrhinum, or snapdragon, Is
one of the old fashioned garden flow
ers known by every one. Although 1t
Is Il visitor from southern Europe, 1t
has been here so long that 1t has be-
come naturalized. When we say
''lion's mouth" frogs mouth" "calfs
mouth" rabbits mouth" we mean
snapdragon, all these names being sug-
gested by its grotesque masklike corol-
Ia. But there is something still more
grotesque if we will wait till the seed
time and gather the dried, brown
skeleton of the seed pod. Look at
them sideways, under bright lamp
light if possible. and you will find they
have quite Il resemblance to rhinOc-
eros. Remove the calyX and the lit
tie horns on the nose and look at them
from the front, and they have still
more striking resemblance to human
skulls, and by turning them about you
get all sorts of qheer expressions on
the grinning mouth.-St. Nicholas.

ABSOLUTE DIVORCE
Granted Mrs. Ellen French Vanderbilt
by Justice o'Gorman.

New York, May 26. - Mrs. Ellen
French Vanderbilt was granted an in
terlocutory decree of divorce from Al
fred Gwynne Vanderbilt by Justice
O'Gormon in the supreme court on the
report of David Mcclure, the referee,
who was appointed to take testimony
and determine the findings in the suit
instituted by Mrs. Vanderbilt
Justice O'Gorman confirmed the re.
port of the referee that Mr. Vanderbilt
had been guilty of misconduct and di-
rected that Mrs. Vanderbilt be granted
a judgment of absolute divorce.
The divorce decree provides that
Mrs. Vanderbilt may marry during the
lifetime of Mr.. Vanderbilt, but pre-
vents him from marrying during her
lifetime. The custody of William r.
Vanderbilt. the only child of the mar
riage, was awarded to Mrs. Vanderbilt.
No provision was made for alimony in
the decree nor was the subject allud-
ed to In the report of Referee Mcclure.
The referees report developed that
testimony had been secured from Mr..
Vanderbilt's valet who gave evidence
concerning the misconduct of his en-
ployer on a railroad train year ago
last October In Virginia.

Dina Moe and Dina Mite.

Mr.. Cracker, young colored gentle
man of our city, had just obtained EN-
ployment in one of our department
stores as an experienced porter, but
after short time proved to he unfit
for the position. Being fired, he there
by gained the nickname of Fire Crack
er Fire Cracker was deeply in love
with young woman Of his own race
by the name of Miss Moe and after
short acquaintance found that her sur
name was Dina. He went to Dina
Moe and said:
Dina Moe, does you lub meY
She quickly replied, NO"
Not being disheartened and at the
same time remembering the motto he
learned at school, III at first you don't
succeed try, try again." he went to
Dina Moe again and said:
"Dina Moe, could you learn to lub

Dina this time rolled the white of
her eyes and, looking Fire Cracker in
the face, answered:

Railroad Horror In BeIqium.

One of the worst railroad accidents
In Europe in recent times occurred at
Contich, station six miles southeast
of Antwerp. The exact number Of
victims has not been determined ow-
Ing to the difficulty of removing the
bodies from the debris, but the latest
estimate places the number at sixty
killed and 100 wounded
The catastrophe appears to have
been due to a defective switch, where
the main line crosses local line. At
this point train carrying a large
number of pilgrims on their way to a
local shrine was standing. Into this
the Antwerp-Brussels express dashed
at speed of fifty miles an hour, lit
orally leaping on top Of it,
The heavy coaches of the express
crushed the lighter train into splinters.
The sides of the express train were
torn from their fastenings, the floors
practically collapsing, thus precipitat-
ing the passengers to the side of the
track. whence they fed, frenzied,
across the fields But for this fact
the death roll would be much greater.
Few of the occupants of the local train
escaped alive. Those that were not
killed were badly injured, many of
them mortally.

STANDARD OIL SUIT.
Witness Said Southern Pacific Only
Paid Half the Invoice Price
For Oil.

New York, May 26.-The Standard
OIL company, its officials and allied
and subsidiary companies began to
submit their evidence in the suit
brought by the United States govern.
ment to dissolve an alleged oil COM
bine.
The evidence yet to be presented in
this case is expected to include testi-
mony by a number of railroad presi-
dents and other railroad officials who
are expected to tell about the relations
of the railroads with the Standard Oil
company, especially on the matter of
rebates.
The Standad Oil company was rep
resented by Moritz Rosenthal and the
government by Frank B. Kellogg and
several assistants.
C. c. Steinbrenner, an official of the
Galena Signal company of Franklin,
Pa, was the first witness. He said
the Southern Pacific only paid an
average of about one-half the invoice
price for the oil it used. Figures
quoted showed refunds from the Ga
lena company to the Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Steinbrenner said they carried
the Pennsylvania and the Southern
Pacific roads at loss for advertising
purposes, hoping at the same time to
ultimately increase the contract for
oil to the full 100 per cent.

Was True Case Of HYdrophobla.

That William H. Marsh, the Brook
lyn manufacturer, who died on We'd
nesday of last week, was a victim of
hydrophobia, was the decision of Cor
oner Brewer following an autopsy per-
formed under his direction after the
Brooklyn health department had re-
fused to grant a permit for Mr..
Marsh's burial until the cause of his
death had been thus decided.
During the autopsy DR.. Ira Van Gle
sen, an expert in hydrophobia for the
New York board of health, who was as
sisting, became infected with the rab-
les germ from a small scratch on his
arm made by one of the bones from
Mr.. Marsh's body. DR.. Van Giesen
hastened to the health department in
Manhattan, where he was given treat
ment
The autopsy upon Mr.. Marsh's body
demonstrated, the coroner declared,
that there had been no excessive ad-
ministration of narcotics or anaesthe-
tics.
A permit was later issued for Mr..
Marsh's burial.

Lamphere Indicted Seven Times.

In returning seven true bills against
Ray Lamphere the grand jury at La
Porte, Ind, also indicted Mrs Belle
Guinness for the murder of Andrew
Helgelein.
No warrant was issued for Mrs.
Guinness, as she was declared official
ly dead by the verdict of Coroner
Mack; but in order to vote true bill
against Lamphere as an accessory in
the killing of Helgelein it was neces-
sary to indict Mrs. Guinness as the
principal. Lamphere now stands
charged with arson, five murders and
being an accessory in the Helgelein
murder.
Separate bills were returned against
Lamphere for the murder of Mrs. Gun
ness and her three children.
The digging on Friday resulted in
the unearthing of a human skull,
which, it was decided, belongs to one
of the bodies dug up two weeks ago.
At that time three skeletons were
found in one hole but there were only
two skulls.

Pennsylvania Uninstructed.

After one of the hardest fights
within the party in several years, the
Democratic state convention at Har-
risburg, Pa, decided not to instruct
its delegates-at-large to the Den
yer convention. 1t was a clean-cut vic
tory for the Democratic state organiza-
ton, headed by Col. James NJ. Guffey
of Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania men,
ber of the national committee.
Colonel Guffey had maintained all
along that he and his friends would
control the convention, but their
claims were always disputed by the
leaders of the faction who were in fa-
vor of issuing binding instructions for
William j. Bryan.
The Bryanites, under the leadership
of the executive committee of the
Bryan Democratic league, had large
following and they fought to the bitter
end While feeling ran high in the
convention, which was at times dis
orderly, no personalities were indulg-
ed in, and when the followers Of
Bryan found that they were in the
minority they acquiesced and the con-
Eention quickly came to a close.

Collision of Trolley Cars.

Three persons were instantly killed
at Philadelphia and at least five
others were so badly injured that
there is no hope for their recovery
and forty-five were seriously hurt in
collision between trolley cars on
Germantown avenue near Chestnut
Hill, a suburb, in the northern section
of the city late Sunday night.
The only body thus far identified is
that of Mrs. George d. Wagner, aged
60 years, of Cornwall, Pa.
The bodies of an unidentified woman
about GO years of age and an uniden-
titled man about As years old, are in
hospital near the scene of the acci-
dent.
Forty-five persons were taken to the
Chestnut Hill and Germantown hos
pitals, each of which is several miles
from the scene of the accident, and
many were conveyed in automobiles
by the wealthy residents of the ex-
elusive Chestnut Hill district. They
were treated by private physicians and
In consequence absolute detail about
the injured cannot be obtained.
Among those who were dangerously
injured were George Wagner, whose
wife was killed. and Alexander Nc
Kay, aged 45 years, who has a wooden
leg. The artificial member was
jammed up into his body and he can
not live, it is said.
The accident was caused by car
running north jumping a track while
going down a steep grade not far
from Chestnut Hill. The car swung
across the southbound track and was
struck by car on that track. Both
cars were filled with passengers.

MAE WOOD GETS BAIL.
Justice 0'Gorman Dismissed Her
Suit Against Senator PIatt.

Collision of Trolley Cars = Pennsyl'

ror In Belgium-Memorial to Sena
tor Hanna-Lamphere Indicted Five
Times-True Case of Hydrophobia.
Mae C. Wood, whose suit for divorce
from United States Senator Thomas c.
Platt was on trial in the supreme
court for several days, was COM
mitted to the Tombs prison after JUS
tice O'Gorman had dismissed the COM
plant in her suit and ordered her
held in $4,000 bail on the charge of
perjury.
The decision in Senator Platts IA
vor and the sudden and sensational
ending of the suit came after a day
Ehich the defense had largely occu-
pied by the introduction of expert and
other testimony in attacking the gen.
uineness of the documents by means
OF which the plaintiff was seeking to
establish the fact of her marriage with
Senator Platt.
A handwriting expert had testified
that in his opinion the body of the let
ter in which Senator Platt was al
legged to have admitted his relation as
a husband to the plaintiff was added
after the senator's signature had been
affixed.
More telling, still, for the defense
was the deposition of engravers and
stationers called by counsel for Sen
ator Platt that the blank form upon
which the alleged Platt-Wood mar
riage certificate had been prepared
had not been Autographed until three
months after the date upon which the
marriage of Miss Wood to Senator
Platt is alleged to have occurred.
Justice O'Gorman turned to Miss
Wood and pointedly questioned her.
She repeated her assertion that the
marriage had occurred as she had
stated. She admitted that Senator
Platt had never supported her, and
asked by the court if she did not con-
slider it the duty of husband to sup
port his wife, she replied: 81 do but
as long as he was not enough of a
gentleman to do so / never asked him
to-
Senator Phtt's counsel then again
moved for a dismissal of the COM
plant. 1t was forthwith granted by
Justice O'Gorman, who in rendering
his decision said:
81 cannot credit the plaintiffs evi-
dence as to the alleged marriage, and
the testimony impresses the court
that this is a most wicked design to
support false and fictitious claim by
forgery and perjury"
Bail was rendered for Mrs. Wood
on Saturday by the American Surety
company but too late to be accepted
then. Monday Mrs. Wood was taken
before Justice O'Gorman. and bail was
again offered and accepted.
