WRONG ED.

GLOW long have you been mar
ried? ?" asked the judge.
"Two weeks" replied the lady.
"And you want divorce so soon?
Why, you haven't given him a
chance to show you what kind of a
man he is. You may like him when
you come to know him."
"No, judge, l shall never like
him, no matter how well | may
learn to know him. He told me that
his income was $4,000 year, and [
gave up alimony of $3.50 a month
to marry him. Now | find that his
salary is only $40 week, and l
shall never forgive him-never!"

PROFESSION is INTERESTING.

Dr. Marguerite Buchanan of Lon
don is president of the British Asso-
citation of Women Pharmacists, and
is trying to interest women in phar-
macy. The work, she says, is in
tensely interesting not only from a
historic point of view, but as evil
dence of the march of science. There
is also a human interest about it
that must attract women.

h0IHERS FIGHT
To REGAIN CHILD
BALKED IN COURT
Mrs. Menzi's Only Recourse to
Recover Boy Lies in Cham
Gerry Action.

The jurisdiction of a police judge
would not allow Judge Hahn, in the
Third Precinct Police Court today. to
take any action on the plea of Mrs.
Mary Menzi, of Orange, that her o.
year-old son Charlie be returned to her
by the family with whom he is living.
She was compelled to leave the court
room with an appeal to the Court of
Chancery as her only hope of regaining
possession of the child
1t was year since she had seen the
boy, SO Charles Seifert, of "a Vesey
street, who is keeping him, said. The
child was born while Mrs. Menzi was
living with the Seiferts. He was 5
months old when she moved away and
left him with them. Now she wants
him back again. but the foster father is
SO fond of the little fellow that he re-
fuses to give him up unless he has to.
The boy was In court today. He
knew his mother, but did not want to
go with her,
Don't you want to go to her?" asked
the judge.
mo, l want to go with papa,' he an
swered, pointing to Seifert.
"The only thing you can do is to get
writ of habeas corps from Chancery," !"
said Judge Hahn. It's outside of my
jurisdiction
Several witnesses were called who
testified that the boy was well treated
by his foster parents.

SUSTAIN DEMURRERS IN
FORECLOSURE SUITS.
Bill Is Defective, Vice-Chancellor
Rules.
Especial 10 the Newark star !

TRENTON, Dec. 3.--The demurrers
filed to the suits brought to foreclose
some sixty properties in Newark un-
der which the complainant acquired
title under tax sales were sustained by
Vice Chancellor Emery In an opinion
filed in the Court of Chancery today
The suits which the court passed upon
were those brought by Margaret Fitz-
simmons against Stauder and Woerner
and others against the G. Roberts Rub
Der Company. In his opinion the Vice
Chancellor said:
I'm setting out complainants title
and right to sell on the defendant for
redemption of the tax lien, the bill is
defective in two particulars. 1t fails
to show that since the sale for taxes
the land has not been redeemed or that
anything was due complainant on its
lien for taxes at the time OF fling
the bill. Il
For these defects all of the de-
murrers must be sustained, but as these
may be remedied by amendment will
hear counsel as to whether this leave
should be reserved in the order sus-
taining the demurrers and it 30 on what
terms"

Suppose that you were a tiny tot,
brimful of ideas about Christmas.
Suppose that you haunted the shop
ping districts, with nose pressed TO the
windows wherein were displayed Won
derful toys of all descriptions.
And suppose that your mother was
pale and tired, and pinched, and tnar
her forehead was all puckered up with
worry lines; that she knew of your
dreams and realized their futility. and
that she came to you one day and sad
ly told you that Santa Claus only visit
ed rich little boys and girls, so you
must make up your mind to expect
nothing.
wouldn't your heart sink just like a
lump of lead?
And then suppose that, after going
about diseonsolateIy hating the stork
that left you with a poor family. and
wishing with all of your infantile
strength that Santa Claus would bust"
his bag of toys, so that some would
drop on your roof-you heard that a

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.--Cleared for
action, the cruiser vicksburg today is
anchored in the harbor of Corinto, Mic
aragua, with her guns trained on the
town, while a force oil marines and
tars are camped on the plaza at Grey
town
Word is received that representatives
of President Zelaya are making efforts
to purchase the schooner Herald at
Panama to fit her out for a war craft.
The report produces the belief that
President Zelaya intends to resist the
United States and make a fight for the
retention of his office.
President Zelaya is reported to have
been amazed a, the action of Secre-
tary Knox. He is said not to have
had the slightest expectation of such
quick action.
Driven to desperation by the unex-
pected and unbending attitude of the
United States. Zelaya is now reported
to have developed a plan whereby he
can resign, and at the same time retain
the reins of power. This consists In
putting into the office of President OF
Nicaragua Jose Madriz, well-known in
Central American diplomatic circles as
Zelaya's henchman and declared to be
at Zelaya's bid and call. The state de-
partment. it is declared, Is entirely cog
infant of the conspiracy under way and
win act vigorously and promptly If oc-
casion demands.
In the meantime, neither the state
department ior the Nicaraguan lega-

sisted that he has not heard from his
government, and the state department

PLAN TO Sweep
OUT DEMOCRATS
Believe They Will Be Able to
Put Own Partisans in
City Places.

Republican party leaders have been
examining the law and they are con-
vinced, so they have informed job
seekers, that they will be able to re-
move Democrats from city places and
put their own partisans in their places.
Under an act passed in 1906 at the re-
quest of Bayonne officials, the Republi-
can lawyers say that there is ample
authority for vacating offices and filing
them again by motion. passed by ma
jority vote.
In the last political change in con-
troll of city offices, the courts were in
volxed and for several months there
was a bitter struggle to prevent
changes. 1t was then held that to va
cate offices the Council must put
through resolutions and obtain the sig
nature of the Mayor before they would
be effective Other resolutions were
declared to be necessary to fill the
places.
The Common Council which will as
sume the legislative control of the city
government next month will stand IL
Republicans and 13 Democrats. 1t is
taken for granted that Mayor Hauss-
ling would sign no resolution that took
a place away from a fellow Democrat
and gave it to political enemy, SO
there has been much concern among
Republicans as to how the upset of the
civil service law which is SO confidently
predicted could work to their advan-
tage.
1t was only after a search of the
statutes by very prominent lawyer
that the Republicans came to the con-
clusion that there was some chance OF
a return to the spoils system II the
civil service law should be knocked out
insofar as 1t applies to municipalities
and counties.
Thus early Republican headquarters
in Halsey street are being besieged by
officeseekers and every Republican
member of the new Council has a long
list of men who are willing to serve
their city-for proper compensation
There are some jobs that the Repub-
licans propose to go after as soon as
they get into power. They have dis
covered, for instance. that Thomas j.
Rowe, clerk OF Centre Market, was
appointed by the Democratic Council
of 1907 on October of that year by
motion, not by resolution as had been
the case in the selection of placeholders
who went into office earlier. So 1t is
proposed to take the matter up in the
majority caucus called for next Mon
day night and endeavor to make it q
caucus matter to appoint William f.
Swan. who was put in when Rowe was
ousted from the Centre Market clerk
ship on another occasion years ago.
That explains Mr.. SWANS announce
ment that he is not q candidate for
sergeant at -arn1s of the next House OF
Assembly. He doesn't expect to wait
for the filing of the courts decision

HUSBAND, IN GEL
FIGHTS W|FE's
DIVORCE SUIT
William Poulson Is Serving Term
in Caldwell Penitentiary
for Brutality.

John j. Murphy, counsel for Mrs. Jen-
ME Poulson, of Sc Boyden street. today
received from vice-Chancellor Emery
an order advising a decree of divorce
for his client from her husband, Will
lam Poulson, who is at present serving
an eighteen months sentence in Cald-
well penitentiary for attacking his wife
in October, 1908.
Among the papers in the case was a
letter written by Poulson from his cell,
in which he protests vigorously against
having the action prosecuted while he is
held in restraint, and denying the
charges of cruelty alleged by the wife
in her bill. The vice-chancellor ordered
the letter to be filed as an answer.
The Poulsons. were married April %,
1896, and nave three girls and one boy,
Elsie, William, Jennie and Mildred. Ell
sic, the Oldest, is II years old. Mrs.
Poulson, in her bill, said her husband
refused absolutely to work and sup
port her. but somehow always had
enough money to buy liquor Then he
would come home and start in break
ing up the household furniture and
wind up with beating his wife.
In February, 1908, Mrs. Poulson had
Her uuSDdlu dTIeStSQ dilu SOilt " ia "
for three months for bruising her with
his fists, and in October, 1908, he beat
her so numerically that he was sem
fenced - Caldwell, where he is now.
What incensed the wife more than all
else, however, was his brutal treatment
of Elsie, the Oldest child. While living
at 241 Mulberry street Mrs. Poulson
was separated from her husband and
went out to work while the children
were at school. Poulson somehow or
other had some means Of getting in
the house and one day Elsie returned
from school to partake Of the usual
lunch her mother left before she set
out for work.
When she reached the dining room
she came across her father, just adding
the finishing touches to her meal,
whereat she sat down and cried. Tears
seemed to enrage the father, and grasp
ing his daughter by the arm he led her
to the stairs and then kicked her down.
Among the witnesses who testified
were the family butcher and landlord,
who told of the numerous occasions on
which they had to step in and separate
the couple when the husband was beat
ing the wife.

very mysterious disappearance ana
other things tending to make her an
