New York, June 5.-Justice Bowling
today granted Mrs. Howard Gould a
separation from her husband and ali
mony of $4,000 a year.
Justice Bowling, in his decision, said
that all the evidence was in favor of
Mrs Gould and that the conduct of
Mrs Gould when she was alleged to
have been intoxicated might have been
caused by excitement.
The justice disposed of the allegations
concerning Mrs. GOUld's meetings with
Dustin FarnUm by saying that they all
occurred since Mr.. and Mrs. Gould had
separated, and that Mr.. Gould had new
er objected to them.
A stay of thirty days in execution of
the judgment was granted.
In regard to the question Of alimony,
the court said he had only the power to
fix the sum he thought proper for the
defendant to pay the plaintiff in order
to allow her to enjoy all the reasonable
comforts BETTING her station in life.
This sum, Justice Bowling said, he
would fix at $4,000 a month.
This decision means only an increase
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year for Mrs.
Gould.

than the money" said Mrs Gould, as

cisiOn. That's why I insisted upon a

tinued Colonel Thompson. who from the

been committed by Eastman. "she knew

came here. 1 am persuaded that she did
not. Their first meeting was here. Why
he should kill her I cannot imagine. The
horror of the thing almost drives me mad.
My child is gone, torn from me without
warning, brutally massacred in the shad-
ow of her fathers home. and I am not
able to raise a hand to ward off the
damnable blow of the wretched assassin. -

The little girl who became his foster
daughter was but three years old when
she was found by Mrs. Thompson, who
was at the time a charity worker of Min
neapolis, MINI. The child was then in the
custody of a street car driver or cOnduc-
tor, who was wiling to surrender her to
any one who could offer a better home.
She did not belong to the man." said
Colonel Thompson. "I do not know who
her parents were. and I do not know how
the street car man got her. We decided
to take the child and soon became as
deeply attached to her as If she had been
our own flesh and blood. AS she grew
older the girl developed the most admir-
able traits of character. She was a great
favOrite and all who came within her in
fluence were attracted to her"
Colonel Thompson told of the girls first
marriage to a Dr. Caswell or CrOsswell
whom she met in New York, which union
was soon annulled. He told of her en-
gagement to Harry Adams of Mount Yer
non. n. Y, and her subsequent marriage
to Gilbert WOOdill of Los Angeles. to
whom she seemed devoted. Their married
life had been married by no unhappiness
He then told Of her meeting with Lyman
J. Gage, former secretary of the treasury,
and his deep interest in her education and
the development Of her musical talents.

Medicine in tho Sea.

The sea, according to certain scient-
lists, can furnish not only nourishment.
but medicine. A distinguished French
practitioner prescribes the drinking of
sea water as cure for diabetes, the
water being aerated in order to re-
move Its impurities and, to some ex-
tent, its nauseous flavor. 1t has also
been administered with SUCCESS in
cases Of bronchitis and pleurisy. FIX

THE PRIEST IN POLITICS.

Ny attention was drawn 10 an arti'
Gle published in the Daily Pointer,
which set forth the opinion that a
priest or minister had plenty to do,
without meddling in politics. ! sup
pose that the writer, in this case had
reference to municipal politics and
that he was prompted TO give utter
ance TO his thoughts along that line,
from the fact that |, a Christian priest
presided at the mass meeting at the
court house last Monday night. Now
| want it distinctly understood al the
outset that | have no apologies to
offer for my action in this matter. |
accepted the invitation to preside at
that meeting because | was firmly
convinced by those who urged me to
attend that IL was TO be a gather
ing of business and professional men,
who were sincerely Interested in the
upbullding of Greater Ardmore, and
who were desirous Of stamping out
party politics in city elections. | did
not, for one moment, look upon it as
a political gathering and until am
thoroughly convinced, beyond all
manner of doubt, that this movement
Is the work OF a ring or political ma
chane. I'll stay with It, My purpose
in doing so, is from the fact that |
believe unreservcdly in placing the
welfare of the city of Ardmorc above
the selfish interests Of any political
party.
Now as to the minister In poll
tics" The Christian minister must
