wife in July. 1906. but offered to re-
tlrn On perfectly reasonable terms,
among other things. her %abstention
from Intoxicating liquors. Mrs. Gould.
he continued. refused.
During the Foregoing argument Mrs.
Gould became faint, left the courtroom
and did not return. Then her oun
sci, Clarence Shearn, began argument
against the motion of the defense to
dismiss. 1T is cruelty" he affirmed,
'for a husband. without Justification, to
accuse his wife of being a bad char
acter or to entertain against her,
without cause. reflection against her
honor.
what kind OF a conspiracy was
Mr.. Nicholl engaged in" he asked,
"when he got habitues of a saloon to
work in the purpose of proving Mrs.
Gould d woman OF bad repute? That
was the acme OF cruelty. Howard
Gould's attempt to have his wife
pledge herself not to drink in itself
constitutes cruelty
1t was this clause in the agreement
the husband had asked the wife TO
sign before he would consent to live
with her again that Mrs. Gould most
strongly Objected to.
Irasmnch as the abandonment
charge only is TO be considered there
will be no further mention of Buffalo

question of Mrs. Gould's indulgence in

Distress from unemployment has been

the raising by the lord mayor OF a fund
OF SS0G00 70 help in the employment Of
men On relief works.
The men thus engaged are employed IN
two shifts. each extending over four DAYS
in the week This system unfortunately
prevented the Saturday shift from enjoy
ing their Saturday afternoons in watch
ing football. Dissatisfaction was natur-
ally acute, and finally a depUtation Of the
men waited upon the deputy city engineer
with view 10 getting things so arranged
that al might attend the football matches.
So far from sanctioning any alteration.
actually the authorities decided thar in

Bury was played. and one result vas that

London. Feb. 20.-English newspapers
are teeming with divorce reports and
other stories Of domestic unhappiness-
They all go 70 show the futility in the

One is struck by the constantly recur-
ring phrase in the legal reports that the
husband ordered his wife TO have moth

The word order" is nowadays out Of
place In such matters. The vow TO obey
is not one OF those which, broken, result
in DEGREES nisi.

this marital authority remain in the

London. Feb. 29-The English school,

No matter how cold the weather might
be ne has dug his hands into the bottom

deted the thermometer with spirit
that would do credit to a Christian Sci

An ieonoclastie headmaster this winter
issued the order. "Overcoats must be
worn by every boy In cold weather. y
The order was as unpopular as il was
hygienic. and the spirit in which IL was
received and obeyed may be gathered
from the following letter written by an
infuriated old Etonian and printed in
the College Chronicle under the heading
Is Eton becoming a private SCHOOL,"
Dear Sir. I learn with CONSERVATION
