in February, 1907. and this morning
Mrs. Maddox tried to get divorce
from him in the circuit court Failure

averred. but after Judge Fox had
heard testimony for nearly an hour
he announced that he would consider
the matter longer before making his
decision.
The point came up in the testimony
that there may have been a collusion
between the husband and wife to Sc
cure divorce, which may have caus
ed Judge Fox to withhold giving an
immediate decision. Mrs. Maddox
said that her husband asked her
whether she intended to get divorce
and she replied that she would get one
if she wanted to. To this Mrs. Mad

By the removal OF Harry F. Coins,
colored, rural route carrier, No. 5, by
order of Postmaster General Frank
seph Peltz, a we'll known Richmond
young man, the local postoffice rural
carrier force holds a distinction which
no other force in the world holds. 1t

route carriers in the business-Harry
Fisher, carrier No. I. being but two
and one-half feet tall, while Peltz Is
six feet, seven inches tall.
Harry Fisher. who has been In the
service for a number of years and al
ways been an efficient carrier, can
move around without difficulty under
tables and other objects, which no one
but child could walk under. Fisher
is cripple and it is necessary for him
to use an arm propelled chair.
PeItz the Opposite.
Just the opposite to Fisher, Peltz
who has to stoop in order to get
through an ordinary door. He is but
twenty-one years old and has not rs
yet obtained his full development, hav.
ing grown nearly an inch in the past
year. He has been substitute carrie'
for two years and whenever in the ser

ARE THEY ASHAMEO2
Do People Object to the Pub
lie Knowing They Are
Christians.
SUCH PROOF GIVEN TODAY

Judging from the Rev. J. Cook Gra-
ham, pastor of the Fifth Street NJ. E.
church, persons have a natural aver
sion to being known publicly as Chris
tians. Despite the fact that in other
both secret and public.
the names of the new members are
not withheld, but instead, there is a
natural desire for publicity. Rev. Grar
ham begged to be excused from Civ
ing the name of a woman converted
at the union meetings held at the
Fifth Street NJ. E. church last even
ing, because he said she probably
would not like it.
No effort was made to induce the
Rev. Graham to give the name of the
person converted, or to learn it from
other sources since Rev. Graham felt
that it would cause the woman en-
barrassment.
The service was conducted by Rev.
Napier of the Whitewater Friends
church. It was largely attended. His
