WHEN HORSES HAVE
FIGURED IN DIVORCE CASES

II has lately been forced upon the
whole American public that an exces
siye interest in horses is responsible
for large number OF the divorces
and matrimonial calamities thai make
such sad reading In the newspapers
Why should the horse lead men and
women 10 forget their sacred conjugal
obligations? Is not the horse In him
self a noble and decidedly innocent
animal? This problem has exercised
the minds of many persons A dem.
tie answer 10 II has at last been fur

OF the University OF ILLINOIS, lie

an attrac tion between the i've cells
OF the horse and certain morbid cells
existing In persons VINO lead a. idle
and unwholesome life and spend their
time in amusing themselves with
horses rather than in some useful
work
The most conspicuous case or uo7
nestle disagreement due entirely TO
horses is that OF Alfred Gwynne Van
derbit and his wife. AS most people

rying the girl OF his choice. Alfred
Vanderbits fortune amounted TO
about s60.000.000
From his earliest youth Mr. Wander
bilt showed more interest in horses
than anything on earth. His marriage
did not change his tastes, but as time
rolled on he became more and more
absorbed in his favorite pastime. His
wife who is very handsome and re
fined woman, did not fully share Ills
absorbing enthusiasm for the horses.
She liked them very well when she
wanted 10 drive somewhere, but she
only took a mild and distant interest

In the stable
Now. Mr. Vanderbilt could never
spend too much time with his forses
10 please himself. When Mrs Van
derbilt all nicely dressed, was ready
to down 10 their dinner, she would
miss her husband. and II she took the
trouble 10 look for him she would hnd

thing became more and more frequent
and the husband and wife drirVeu

In his passionate attachment 10 the

been led into close association WIN

weaknesses. Among item is Madame

Tho youno Minister's impression.

A young minister was particularly
anxious TO make q favorable impress
sion on his hearers at his first Sabbath
morning service.
In the quietness Of his study lie sud-
denly hit upon plan whereby this end
would admirably be accomplished. Els
text for the following Sunday was,
"And the Holy Ghost descended in the
form of dove
To carry out the minister's great idea
the Irish sexton WAS necessary. and
Pat WAS sent for.

speaker.

reverend gentleman lifted his eyes
slightly. expecting to see the beautl1ui
symbol Of purity and peace lowering
over the heads of his hearers.
But no dove. Pat had evidently for
gotten the cue or had failed to hear the
minister at the important moment. so
the text was repeated, this time Ut

a1chei his eyebrows a little higher, but
no dove greeted his vision. he began
to grow impatient, and the third time
he repeated at the top Of his voice,

looked straight up as if in prayerru'
attitude, and he was rewarded. not by
the graceful sway of the dove through
the air as had expected, but by the

A dispatch from Sumter to The
News and Courier says the South
Carolina State Base Ball League was
organized there Monday night on a
four club basis, with a unanimous
sentiment In favor of making the
League six cornered should two other
acceptable towns come in the League.
AS organized the league consists Of
Sumter, Orangeburg, Rock Hill and
Chester. Indications point to Flor
ence and Camden as the other two
members.
Hon. M. L. Smith, of Camden, was
unanimously reelected president and
empowered to appoint a secretary
and treasurer. A forfeit of $500 to
play out the season and live up to
rules was agreed upon, same to be
put up in negotiable paper by March

seventy-two games, commencing Mon
day, May 4th.
The president was instructed to
appoint a committee to arrange a
schedule of games. The salary limit
of players and manager was fixed at
$500. Last years rules and regu-
lations were adopted, subject to mi
nor changes to be considered at fu-
ture meetings. The meeting was en-
