MATTISON GETS DIVORCE.
Hia Wife Let q Naval Officer Darn
Hole In Her Stocking.

Ais Wife Let q Naval Officer Darn
Hole In Her Stocking.
New York, Oct. 21.-The unique plea
of Mrs. sRichard v. MattisOn, Jr., that
as her husband had abandoned her ex-
actiy two years before he sued for di-
vorce she was therefore excused from
her marriage vows was brushed aside
by Justice Erlanger in the supreme
court. He awarded the husband an
interlOcutory decree of absolute d.
vOrce.
MattisOn is the son Of Philadelphia 8
millionaire asbestos king" He met
his bride, who was Agnes Cruikshank,
in Glasgow, and after short court
ship they were married in January,
1905.
Trouble started after visit to the
United States battleship West Vir-
ginia, lying in Newport harbor. Mat
tisOn introduced his wife to the off,
GERS, and there was supper and high
jinks.
One of the things that happened
was that a young naval officer noticed
a hole In the Scotch lassie's stocking
and darned it while she lay In his
bunk.

Art and MatrimOny.

The domestic troubles Of Nat Good
win and his wife came as surprise
to many who have seen this couple
at their best upon the stage. Usually
they have appeared in plays which
seem to suggest that the romance de-
picted was not all make believe.
Cynics doubtless said that the senti-
ment between the two was too good
to last. 1t lasted fairly we'll for stage
people, and this is not saying that ac-
tors and actresses are abnormally
aighty in love affairs.
Life on the stage is not the best
school for domestic loyalty. The fault
does not lie especially in the tempta-
tions incident to a stage career. Work
in any dramatic role calling for emo
tional display robs the soul of the
player Of some Of its strength. 1t is
the same with all art Those finer
emotions and feelings which are nee
essary to healthy matrimonial life are
dulled and sapped where the mind and
heart are continually working up to
the plane demanded for painting a
picture, writing novel or acting a
romantic part on the stage. To men-
tiOn this Is not to excuse domestic
vagaries in artists. 1t seems to be a
price that society must pay for being
entertained.

Abolish tho Sparks,

Some headway has been made in this
country in abolishing coal that
smokes. If that can be done the coal
that sends blazing sparks into in
iammable material along the engine
route can also be abolished. Dry
grass, brush and bushes in the open
are often igaited by sparks from pass
Ing engines, and 1t stands to reason
that the forests along the railroads
ire exposed to the same danger. even
though the proof is not always so clear.
New York's forest commissioner is
convinced that the railway engines
passing through the forested regions
Of the state are the cause Of many
fires which do a vast amount Of dam
age. He suggests that the coal burn
Ing engine be abolished ON all lines
traversing the forest regions. Reports
to the commissioner from patrols in
dicate that in forty days during the
drought 300 fires were started in the
state by sparks from passing engines
fire patrols are sent in the forests
with orders to look for the first blaze
and put 1t out. If they have proved
that the first blaze comes from the en-
glne funnel it is perfectly logical to
lsk that the spark emitting engine be
abolished wherever 1t Is a source Of
danger.

Didn't Lose Any Sleep.

Jenner, the famous English ply
sician, was essentially strong and
self reliant man. He attended the
prince consort through his fatal illness,
he was the Prince of Wales doctor
when the heir to the British throne
had so narrow an escape in 1872, and
he also went to Darmstadt and re-
mained in attendance upon the Prin.
cess Alice till she died. To practice
medicine in 'the fierce light that beats
upon throne" Is not calculated to
lessen the physicians anxieties, and
one who knew Jenner we'll once ques.
TONED him on this point and hinted
that his responsibilities must some
times be sufficient to render sleep or
rest impossible.

The Poe Centenary.

The year 1909 was fruitful in giving
birth to genius. Darwin, Gladstone
and Tennyson are among the distin-
guished Englishmen born that year,
while at the head Of the Americans
there looms Abraham Lincoln as the
greatest figure of his time. Lincoln
was born in February, as we are now
annually reminded. Three weeks ear
lier Edgar Allan Poe first saw the
light In Boston. Richmond, Va, was
Poe's adopted home for a time. He
died in Baltimore and there lies buried.
Poe's centenary will be honored here
ut home by his many admirers and
also in France and England with re-
spect and admiration.
1t has been claimed that the tales
and poems Of Poe were the first to in
troduce the merits OF American litera-
ture to the readers OF Europe. He at
least originated n school Of writing
which foreigners honored by initiating.
The names Of Emerson, Hawthorne
and Poe are often associated as those
Of three men who stand apart from
their fellows as writers of unquestion-
able genius. Not a few award the
palm among these three to Poe. AS n
master Of subtle and imaginative verse
he has been placed in the highest niche
among Americans. His influence was
long recognized here and abroad, and
that part Of him which is immortal
his works. certain to receive homage
worthy of it on two continents on the
hundredth anniversary Of his birth.

Doom Of the Picture Ship.

That once favorite type Of American
sailing vessel. the brig, is passing from
the sea. But fifteen have been added
to the merchant marine sailing under
the stars and stripes during the last
thirty years, and recently one of the
small feet remaining has been changed
to a schooner. 1t is said that there
are only five brigs sailing from the
Atlantic coast under the American
flag.
The schooner is more easily handled
in storm than brig and mainly for
that reason has gradually displaced
the more picturesque vessel in Ameri-
can shipping. In its day the brig
served the American seamen we'll and
carried our flag into every sea, round
Ing the Horn and the Cape of Good
Hope when the passage Of these wa
ters was accounted feat of seaman.

HamIet,s Bowl of Cruel.

George Melville, an old English ac-
tor. was fond Of telling a funny story
at his own expense. He was acting
Hamlet In Bristol. 1t was the actors
rule to take a bowl Of cruel in the
course Of the evening, and his land
lady sent over the usual refreshmcnt
from the lodgings In Queen square.
She happened to have new" serv-
ant girl, who was explicitly directed
to get to the stage door by the en-
trance from Bank street and then car
ry the cruel into the greenroom. She
arrived Mt a moment when Mr.. Mel
Vile was "on." Being unused to the
ways Of tho theater, she asked man
Mt the wings where Mr.. Melville was.
There" said the super, pointing to
the stage.
The actor was in the middle of the
soliloquy 'To be or not to be" when
the girl advanced toward him, bearing
the bowl, and said, "If you please, Mr..
Melville, sir. here is your Rruel."

Odorless Cooking.

The famous recipe which was offer
ed to housewives to keep the "odor of
boiling onions and cabbage out Of the
house" for the modest sum of 81 seems
to have caught on in the fashionable
apartment district of st. Louis. The
recipe, which was only handed out
after the dollar had crossed the magi-
clans palm was, "Don't boil onions
and cabbage" In order to be impair
tial the owners of the St. Louis apart
ment house put it 'in the lease" that
cabbage, onions and other "odorifer-
bus vegetables" shall not be cooked
on the premises.
There afS cooking odors more or
less unpleasant to many people which
do not go with the preparation Of
boiled dInner-for instance, frying fat
that ceased to be sweet or the "burn-
ing on" OF vegetables after the water
In the kettle has evaporated. 1t will
be a merry war when landlord and
tenant and neighbors who complain
come TO settle all these fine distlnc-
tlons as to what Is what I'm the NAL
odorous line. But with that the world
in general has nothing to do. The
question is upon the common sense
Of anybody banishing from the table
vegetables that make for health and
strength as well as pleasure because
nature happened to endow them with
4 favor all their own. The question
has upset the peace Of families and
lmbittered neighborhoods making no
pretense of being fashionable" If
the St. Louis landlords persist and in
lugurate a national crusade for odor-
less cooking they will find allies in
every town and village. Fortunately
the farm kitchen is way to one side,
and odors can be kept from the house
without cutting cabbage and onions
