FILES SUIT FOR MAINTEN-
ANCE AND SUPPORT

AMI IN Il oGIIOk1
Wednesday last, Mrs Ella B. Walk
er filed suit in the District Supreme
Court for maintenance and support
against James T. Walker, practic-
ing physician. The petition alleges
that she and the defendant were mar
ried in this city, August p, 1890, by
Rev. w. Scott. She AYERS that after
their marriage she worked hard and
constantly and helped the respondent
to accumulate property, both real and
personal, and greatly aided him while
studying medicine at Howard Uni
versity.
Among other things the complain
and AYERS and charges that for nearly
three years the respondent has seldom
spoken to her, and when he has spok-
en-, he did so in rude, harsh manner;
that for the same period he has not
furnished her any clothing or other
wise provided for her, according to
his station in life; she has been forced
to work out in service; that on many
occasion the respondent has purposely
snubbed and ignored her, and made
no attempts to conceal his contempt
for the complainant, and his studied
efforts to humiliate and torture her
in the presence of her friends, and the
woman or women in whose company
he would be; that he forbade her the
use of the telephone in their home;
has assaulted her on account of the
adopted girl, u years of age, and not
related to either her or defendant;
and that at the bottom of all the abuse
torture, ill-treatment, humiliation and
other acts and things contained of,
is the defendants avowed purpose, his
wilful, incOnscionable determination
to force and drive complainant from
their home so that he can charge her
with having deserted him. She fur
ther charges that the defendant in no
way recognizes or treats her as his
wife ,and that although she has a
room in the home, to all intents and
purposes he has deserted and aban-
doned her for more than two years
past.
The complainant is represented by
Attorney w. c. Martin.

Three Important Judicial Deci-
SiOnS.
siOnS.

The Commoner
The decision Of she Missouri state
supreme court barring the STANDARD
on trust from Missouri, she decision
of Federal Judge Mcpherson declar-
ing the Missouri two-cent passenger
fare and maximum freight rate laws
TO be cOntiseatory and, therefore,
uncomfortable, and the decision OF
Federal Judge Anderson at Chicago
acquisting she Standard Oh trust,
occurred, practically, during the
same week.
Is will not be surprising, therefore,
il the American people are inclined
80 view these three judicial results
together.
Is Is significant that the one judi
cial opinion seeking so apply she law
80 powerful corporation that has
seemed so inclusive, so complete as
80 bring the powerful lawbreaker to
a position where Is Is actually willing
TO beg for terms was rendered by the
supreme court OF a state?
Is is significant that on this occs-
sion, az on other occasions, She de-
cisions upon which these great cor.
porstions depend for escape from
punishment are rendered by federal
courts?
No more important decisions have
been rendered than the three herein
referred TO.
Does any intelligent man or women
believe that the republican managers
would have permitted, prior TO elec,
tion day, decisions which destroys !
the two cent fare rate law and dis !
charges the Standard Oh trust from |
accountability for It's lawlessness?
Does any one believe that In the
light OF she tendency OF this day
clearly showing the utter Indifference
TO public opinion on the part OF rep
resentatives of special interests-the
work OF reiormers ia at an end?
Does any one imagine that pop
ular government can be preserved
for long period OF time |, this dis.
position to give license to corporate
lawlessness Is to continueunchecked? 1
Should not the very audacity OF
the champions of the trust system,
the very contempt they show for she
public rights, encourage democrats
everywhere 50 renew their devotion
TO the cause OF the people? Ii Ia true
the people are generally patient in
great wrongs; they are off,
en- thoughtless In The presence OF op-
to cure those wrongs; but
always they are powerful enough so
crush she system thas Expresses
them and, in all reason, they are
human enough to retaliate when
their eyes have been opened to the
solemn truth.

Christmas i'll the city, with its streets
Of light ashine:
Christmas in h castle, with so many
things and fine:
Christmas in the village, with it's
neighbors on the street,
And friendship smiling at YOU from
the lips you love to meet;
But Christmas home with MOTHERHOOD

And give me that for gladnesS that is
tenderest and best.

The old dreams dancing after in the

And the rolnping revel and the din
ner with its smells
OF the old familiar dishes with their
haunting homespun spells.
Turn back again, oh, machors in the
ranks hat lead away
From Christmas home with mother to
the fields Of fame and fray,
The triumph ma be tempting and the
victory fine n sweet,
But Christmas home with mother
IN LAX 1Chl " StI Tic
And tn roaring world around one,
and the new life for the old,
And its fanfare and its tiuSel and its
gilt without the gold!

dream to make one creep
To the attic as in childhood for u lit
tie childhood sleep;
And the waking at her calling, and
the marching single file
To the Christmas in the parlor with
our faces Wreathed in smile
At the tender eXpectatiOn-hOW II

tru spirit of Christmas giving IN her
little kindergarten poem:
Hast thou plenty? Then rejoice;
Rejoice and freely share.
Host thou scanty store? Fen then
A little canst thou spare.
And hast thou only bit or crumb,
A donor yet thou may'St become,
Since morsel from thy less or least
For bird or insect maketh feast.
Be the portion small or great,
The loving, generous heart
Will Away find it large enough
To give away a part.
The gift that costs nothing gives
nothing back to character.
Among the wonders Of Christmas
must still be counted this one-that
mrtals may, like God, give the Christ
himself to the world.
The only value OF a gift to be con-
sidered on Christmas day is the love
it represents.

Christmas Gifts and Givers
Tei~e Comments Upon the Christian

Our Christmas Gifts" Matt. 2:
Iii.

An alert minister, discerning the
tendencies OF the times. should preach
a valuable sermon upon The Social
iZing Value Of Christmas After elab-
Grating the worldwide spread of the
SOcialized Spirit-the recognition of
the claims OF number two as against
tie innate tendency to look out for
number one-he could show that
Christmas introduced the gift-giving
spirit; the era of otherism, the day
of brotherhood. From it's beginning
until now Christmas has stood for the
recognition of other people. At this
time, if at no other, men get out OF
themselves long enough to hin Of
those to whom they should make gifts.
Thought OF others is the essence of
genuine socialism.
To give is TO live according to the
Christmas programme.
There is no more humanizing and
m~elloWing experience than to take
thought of the children. When a man
begins to think of the little ones his
hear warns to all Of life. Love Of
children is a gate through which all
The nob1cr impulses find easy access.
The world is at its best when it gath
ers yearly about the Of the
Babe.
The Wise Men brought gifts. That
was q sign OF their wisdom. The high
est expression of character is to give.
The greater the giving the greater the
living. History's brightest names are
of the men and women who gave most
~lavisfiy. At the head of his roll
shines the Name above every name.
OF Him who gave himself for all the
world.
Look on all his gifts around thee
gifts that make it JOY to live;
Best Of all, Q Royal Kindness! He has
given the power to give.
He has filled thy hands with blessings
which he bids thee scatter wide;
Calls thee friend and not his servant
friend to labor at his side.
The trading Of tokens at Christmas
is a parody upon the spirit of the
day. a brave simple rule with re-
spect to Christmas is to give only
prompt the offering. To give useless
trifles to persons who are as annoyed
at having to remember you at Christ
mas as o are yourself, is to miss
utterly the spirit Of this glad. loving
lay. They are real friends of Christ
mas who have the courage to abstain
from making such gifts.
The Wise Men Travelled far to make
their gifts. So the best Christmas
gift is still q which represents real
endeaVor and sacrifice in order to give
appropriately. 1t is quite in accord
with the genius Of the day to seek
out the most deserving objects for our
Christmas benevolence. There should
be no narrow limits to our Christmas
giving.
