Boats on the bay and rivers poked
cautiously along. their bells and whistles

NEW YORK, March lO.-with the re-
turn to private life of Former President
Roosevelt, It has been possible to secure
the details of the expenditures, made in
connection with the last illness and death
of Former President Mckinley, which
have been so carefully covered up for
seven years, that even the auditing Of
hcials Of the government have known but
approximately how the s45O00 appropriated
by Congress was expended. Not IN the
history OF the federal government, has
there been such care taken 70 keep the
exact disbursements from the public as
this instance, and the itemized accounts.
as approved by the then Secretary OF the
Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw, are somewhat
surprising.
The object OF this great secrecy was
to avoid a repetition Of the extreme un-
pleasantness, which followed the illness,
and death of President Garfield and to
prevent a discussion Of the character Of
the several claims. with this end in view
The three closest friends, Of the dead
President. the late United tsates Senator
Mark Hanna. Secretary George b. Corte-
lyou, and John NJ. Millburn, the Buffalo
lawyer, at whose house the President died,
formulated themselves into a committees
of three TO handle the entire matter. This
they did so well, that all who tried to ex-

was not until to-day that 1t has been pos

STIRLING IS
GRANTED DIVORCE
American Wife Loses Her
Case in the Courts Of
Scotland

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
EDINBURGH. March 1o.--Judge Guthrie.
who presided in the notorious Stirling di-
vorce case. to-day handed down his de-
cision in granting John Alexander Stirling
a divorce on his cross complaint.
Mrs. Clara Elizabeth Stirling, formerly
an actress Of Washington. D. C., sued her
husband for divorce naming Mrs. Mabel
Atherton. famous English beauty as CO.
respondent. Stirling replied with cross
suit saying that his wife had been unduly
intimate with Lord Northland. At the
hearing of the case. sensational evidence
was produced. which crowded the court
room daily, and showed at least a very
lax moral code among the section OF Eng
nsh society, which figured in the case.
Under the scotch law Judge Guthrie's
decision goes into effect at once and Mrs.
Stirling loses all title TO her marriage
settlement while Stirling can claim life
interest in his wifes property. Stirling
was given the custody of the only child.
Judge Guthrie entirely descredited the
claim Of Mrs. Strings counsel that
Stirling had plotted to drive his wife to
seek the consolation OF Lord Northland's
society, and said that the correspondence
in evidence. between Mrs. Stirling, and
Lord Northland was of the most guilty
character possible.
Mrs. Strings counsel announced that
the decision would be appealed to the
higher courts.
Judge Guthrie caustically commented on
ITo l.sr4
who figured I'm the case. and said there
was little Of legitimate interest in the
sordid tale. The mental endowments OF
Mrs. Stirling and Mrs. Atherton. he re-
marked, could not be reckoned high.

represented by ]. Frank Ball. Lydia Ritz

Judge Cochran that Redding had annoyed
her several times. Last night, she says,
she went to the drug store and was fol-

the young woman was compelled TO pass,

colored man, and when he heard him
speak to the young woman started for
him. The colored man then ran into his

II was chiefly on the testimony Of Dr.

employed the colored man for six years
