OF MADDOX'S VISIT
Wife of Real Estate Dealer Con-
tradicts Husbands Testimony
in Divorce Case
Hysterical Tears Flow When
Defendant Describes Her At
tack on Brother in Law


Mrs. Mary Alice oBrien, who is be-
ing sued for divorce by Captain Charles
f. O'Brien, real estate dealer and ex-
newspaper man, had an opportunity
yesterday to give her version of the
famous encounter between her husband
and Colonel Cabel Maddox, when
OBrien came Unexpectedly upon her
and Maddox in her Van Ness avenue
fiat. She was put on the stand to testi-
fy in regard to her husbands appli-
cation that the order restraining him
from disposing of any of his property
be vacated.
In reply to questions by Attorney
John j. Barrett, Mrs. O'Brien denied
that she was sitting on couch near
a chair on which the colonel sat when
OBrien entered unannounced. She was
seated on a chair, she stated, and there
was table between herself and Mad
dox.
did not your husband accuse you
of being intimate with Colonel Mad
dox?" asked Barrett.
He accused me, yes, but I know the
OBrien temper. and he didn't mean 1t,
answered the witness.
Didn't your husband accuse Maddox
of calling on you during his absence?"
HUSBAND NEVER HOME
1T could only be during my hus-
bands absence that any one could call
on me, as Mr.. O'Brien was never at
home" With suppressed feeling. and
all the time on the verge of break
down, Mrs. O'Brien went on:
"Mr. O'Brien said to Colonel Maddox,
What does this mean, visiting my
wife in my absence?' And the colonel
answered, If you didn't want me to
visit your wife what did you invite me
for?' My husband said he would sue
for divorce, naming the colonel as CO.
respondent, and started to pack his
things. / paid no attention to him, but
went on talking to Colonel Maddox.

him. How dare you come into my
rooms, cur that you are? You ought
to get down on your knees and crawl.
TEARS DELAY HEARING
At this stage Mrs. OBrien burst into
tears, crying so Historically that the
case was adjourned to the afternoon
nearly an hour before the morning
session would otherwise have ended.
The matter of vacating the restrain
ing order was taken under submission
by Judge Murasky. Joseph O'Brien, the
brother of the plaintiff, occupied the
stand during the greater part of the
afternoon, repeating under cross ex-
animation by Attorney Gould the tes-
timony he had already given. In reply
to a question by Barrett he said his
wife told him that Mrs. Mary Alice
O'Brien had said that if her husband
got a divorce the colonel would care
for her and would marry her.
The trial will be resumed this morn

The Honest Denial

The Unitarian does not hesitate to
express his honest doubt. What he
cannot honestly believe. he frankly
denies He does not make any COM
promise with his common sense con-
corning Jonah and the whale. He does
not believe that any ancient prophet
made the sun stand still. He denies
fatty that the laws OF nature were
rendered imperative by any miraculous
Intervention in the past. The fact that
an unreasonable proposition is put
forth In the words of Holy Writ is not
sufficient cause to make him sfdetrack
his common sense. What he plainly
perceives he frankly affirms; what he
does not believe he fatty denies

The True Mechanic.

After man has worked In shops
Tor ten or fifteen years there is "a great
desire for change. Some want to go
out on a farm, others think that the
invention of something that can be
patented will solve; the problem. while
others want to own and run a shop
themselves. The latter is really the
true mechanic, but not necessarily the
man who will get out the most or even
the best work while working for
boss, says Charles Henry III the Work
ers' Magazine. On the contrary, he
will often be considered the lazy man
by the foreman when the work is of
an ever recurring character. Let, how
ever some difficulty arise in connec-
ton with job or have some hard
proposition to meet and he will always
have a suggestion to offer that will
help to solve the problem, while the
ordinary man and the hustler will
stand around helpless and often dis
interested. He will have the elemen-
tary laws Of mechanics and physics at
his finger tips, will know enough Of
electricity to allow him to discourse
upon the subject in an intelligent man
ner, and he will be we'll posted upon
the mechanical progress of the day.

The Spanish royal standard is most
complicated. The red and yellow OF
the Spanish flag is said to be derived
from this occurrence; III 1878 Charles
the Bold dipped his fingers in the blood
of Godfrey, count Of Barcelona, and
drew them down the counts golden
shield in token Of his appreciation Of
the latter's bravery. The shield, so
marked, became the arms Of BARGE
Iona, which became part of Aragon,
and it's arms were taken by that king
dom. Now to the royal standard: In
the first quarter or upper left hand
part Of the flag are the arms of Leon
and CASTLE, the lion and the CASTLE
The second quarter is taken up one
half by the arms of Aragon, one-half
by the arms of Sicily. The upper third
of the third directly under
the first-shows the Austrian colors
The lower two-thirds is divided be-
tween the flag Of Burgundy and the
black lion of Flanders. The upper
third of the fourth quarter shows the
checkers, another Burgundian device,
while the lower two-thirds, is shared
by the red eagle of Antwerp and the
golden lion Of Brabant, and on the top
Of all this are two shields, one showing
the Portuguese arms, the other the

Burned 1t Into Memory.

One of the most Enthusiastically
eccentric things ever done by Gelett
Burgess (and one of the few true sto-
ries Of him) was to spend three or four
days in constructing Of cardboard,
mica and green velvet little model
of an old New England house, COM
plete as to windows, curtains, lawn,
garden, trees and even including a
hammock with a tiny hat and summer
novel and washing stretched out on a
clothesline on the back stoop. This
was for dinner given to several lit,
erary friends in New York, and when
the coffee was served he deliberately
set fire to the whole farm. His ex-
PLANTATION was that had it been spared
his guests might have forgotten the
affair, but they would always remem-
Der the destruction Of the house. No
one who ever saw the little house 20
up in smoke on it's little hill of damp
moss will ever forget it. ~-.,-.r.: -.

The Misplaced Comma,

"Some lawsuits Of the highest i'm

placing of comma" said a judge.

faulty punctuation. He had not meant
to give some innocent young women
the slightest offense when he wrote a

Motion of the Sun,

Owing to the revolution of the earth
the sun seems to make it's daily cir
cult around us, which Of course is not
the case. But the sun is revolving
about it's center quite as truly as the
earth is. It was one of the conceptions
Of that most remarkable man, Sir John
Herschel, that the whole solar system
had a motion in space and was adj
vancing toward point in the heavens
near the star Hercules. Sir Johns con-
ception-as bold an idea as ever en-
tered the human mind-is now gener-
ally accepted by astronomers, and the
opinion is quite universal among them
that the entire system is tracing out a
curvilinear path in space, course
around some mighty center, probably
at Hercules.
