SOCIETY ENVIOUS
OF HER PROWfSS
Mrs. Andrew WEIGH Jr. SCOrns
Conveyance on Daily Four
Mile Tramp

With the craze for athletics devel-
oped TO an abnormal degree by the
majority of the girls from Burlin game
and San Mateo Mrs. Andrew Welch Jr-,
who plays neither tennis nor golf, but
is none the less fond of outdoor life,
has acquired fad of her own, which
she practices assiduously.
--Attired in a big hat, an automobile
veil. a short skirt and stout boots she
may be seen nearly every morning
covering the distance between her home
in FL Cerrito and the Beresford station,
and not in either machine or carriage,
but on foot and alone, be the weather
what ii may.
The distance from San Mateo to
Reresford and back is a good four or
FIVE miles along a level stretch of road
that appeals to the enthusiasm of the
walkers of the exclusive set as a
pleasant little jaunt. They take 1t al
a leisurely pace in twos and threes and
come back well satisfied with their
days exercise.
Mrs Welch outclasses them all, Tor
she does not walk-she runs. The
good. brisk pace she has at starting
usually increasing TO jog -trot, and
her friends assert that by the time she
is finishing a friendly morning salu-
tation her voice comes trailing back
over her shoulder out of an already
disappearing cloud of dust
Mrs Welch's daily constitutional
doubtless serves to keep her sllght pu'
her less fortunate friends, while envy
ing her walking proclivities seem to
| lack the energy TO emulate her.
AS Miss Julia de Laveaga Mrs. Welcf
was none the less active. Her daily
program frequently consisted or 2

So her present fad TOT MOI mn

athletic tastes and will only cease when

plunges once more into the social vor.

WIFE OF PREACHER
GRANTED DIVORCE
Husband Accused of Having
Found an Affinity in French
Servant Girl
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SAN JOSE, Sept. 27.-Mrs. Hermie A.
Palmer, wife of Rev. A. F. Palmer,
whose resignation was recently de-
manded by a Los Gatos church, was
granted a divorce today as result of
sensational testimony submitted in
Judge Richards department of the su-
perior court. The case was not con-
tested, the erring preacher having dis
appeared from this city about three
weeks ago. Where he is now is not
known here.
The domestic relations in the Palmer
household have not been all that could
be desired by the wife since last Feb
ruary, when Mrs. Bertha Dupont. q
French servant girl, came into the life
of the minister. At that time, Mrs
Palmer testified her husband began
making desperate love to this woman
She testified to numerous occasions
when he made visits to Mrs. Dupont S
room in the Colonial, in South Second
street
William Moran supplemented this
story with two incidents that he said
came under his eye. He said that last
May while he was at 139 North Twelfth
street Palmer paid Mrs. Dupont a visit
and fondly embraced her at the gate
before taking his leave. He also gave
a full description OF the episode at the
home of the correspondent sister, Mrs
Briemont, in the Los Gatos road, when
the defendant was taken unawares by
deputies from the sheriff's ofice and
was only partly attired when they ar
rived.
The wife further charged her hus-
band with the misuse of funds placed
in his hands, charges that District At
torney Free is investigating.
Palmer left San Jose September l.
for San Francisco, and though he has
been diligently sought has not been
found.
When the evidence had been only
partially put in Judge Richards said
there was sufficient for him to act ano

Delegates at Goldfield View the
State Collection and Are
Formally Welcomed
Sessions Open Today With Nom
political Discussion of the
Silver Question

GOLDFIELD, New, Sept. 27.-With
the opening formalities out of the way
in the afternoon the delegates to the
twelfth annual convention of the Amer
lean mining congress devoted the
night of the first day to an inspection
of the mineral exhibit which has been
gathered by the state and which Is
valued at about 100000. Combined
with many famous private collections
and that of the Mackay school OF mines
at the state university was display
of specimens of the mineral wealth OF
the state gathered especially for this
time. This collection will be added TO
that of the Mackay mining school
when the exhibition is over.
DELEGATES WELCOMED
The delegates and visitors were made
welcome to the mineral palace by Pro-
fessor George Young. head of the min
ing department of the state univer-
sity, who spoke in behalf of the re-
gents, Doctor Stubbs falling to arrive
in time. Senator F. G. Newlands Of
Nevada also spoke in the name of Gov
ernor Dickerson, and the state and the
visitors began their survey of the Won
derful collection. which was systemati-
cally arranged and classified by John
H. Tate. E. NJ, to whom the work was
intrusted by the legislative commits
sion.
When the congress is called to order
tomorrow morning by President j. III.
Richards the actual business of the
gathering will be taken up. Numerous
resolutions may be presented. A nom
political discussion of the silver ques-
tion will be invited and several phases
of the white metal problem will be
taken up in carefully prepared papers
by men whose names are prominent in
the mining world
DEBATE SILVER QUESTION
Several members have announced
their intention of taking the subject
up in open debate and some time will
be allowed for this feature.
Other papers of a technical nature
and discussion of various important
phases of mining promotion or opera
ton will follow and at night the an
nual message of President Richards
will be laid before the delegates, who
win then attend a reception in their
honor given by the women of GoIdfield.
There was a dearth of political dis
cussion among the delegates today.
The incoming trains were badly de-
layed and many of the most prominent
figures in the congress did not arrive
until after dark. so that interdelegation
contests were lacking.

WOMEN ARE DENIED
CLAND[STINF MAIL
Chicago Postal Officials Put a
Stop to Abuse Of General
Delivery Service
Growing Habit of Young Girls
to Carry On Improper
Relations Checked
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

CHICAGO. Sept. 27.-Women are no
longer to be permitted to obtain mail
at the general delivery of the Chica go
postoffice unless their identity is fully
established. This fact was made known
this afternoon when every woman who
applied for mail at the general deliv-
cry was given a card to fill out calling
for a lot of intimate information, such
as ones correct name-not the pseudo
nym by which one conducts general
delivery respondence-one's correct
address, etc.
PROTEST., BUT IN VAIN
The order was brought about by the
knowledge on the part of the post
office officials that the general delivery
is used in a very large measure by
women who desire to carry on a clan
destine correspondence and that this
abuse of postoffice facilities is very
frequently indulged in by young girls
Todays action brought forth a storm
of protest on the part of women who
were given cards and many of them
declared they never would consent to
fill them out To all such statements
General James E. Stuart, chief post
Office inspector of the Chicago division
returned the gentle but firm reply that
unless you comply with the conditions
we snail De uHdpic, dS we ISSTct
1t, to give you your mall"
The occasion marked the first step
in the reformation of the general de-
livery system in Chicago. If the plan
proves successful 1t probably will be
extended to other cities, where this de-
partment of the postoffice work is said
to be greatly abused.
WILL ABOLISH ABUSE
I'VE are not seeking to abolish this
system, which is one of the greatest
accommodations afforded by the post
office department to the public" said
General Stuart, "but we shall modify II
and restrict it to its proper use. The
first step is to have these cards filled
out calling for name, residence, street
new and old numbers, and date. Then
/ shall send to these addresses, find out
IL the informa tion is correct, and If not
why not / could send out 10000 cards
tonight and hear from them tomorrow
morning. If a girl under age comes
here she will have the consent of her
parents or be self-supporting. If a
married woman comes she will have to
explain why or be willing to have us
tell her husband.

today In ST. Louis the tremor came
at 3:47 o'clock.
The general direction of the shock
was west to east and it was felt more
clearly in thinly settled districts. Vii
lages west of ST. Louis reported the
destruction of few chimneys and in
the west end of the city, the residence
district, many sleepers were awakened.
The quake was scarcely in evidence In
the downtown districts, only few OF
the many guests in the larger hotels
being disturbed.
Reports of the shock were received
on the Mobile and Ohio as far south
as Cairo, Ill. In Mattoon and other
towns in central Illinois there were
shocks at practically the same time.
A settling of the earth's crust, with
the seat of the disturbance many miles
distant is the generally accepted cause
of the shock. The possibilities of a
renewal of the shocks are negatived by
local scientists.
Reports from Cape Girardeau, Mo-,
south of here, are that five shocks were
felt in that region. The quake was
reported as far west as Jefferson

volume of mail handled here is a
great deal larger than it was a
year ago, our service is not as
good, and it is the same all along

one mail train carrying mail east.

his letter in the evening it will
not leave the local Office until the
following evening, "a hours later.

since the new schedule No. 6 is
the only train carrying mail east.
And the first class mail is not the
only thing where we have a kick
comm. AS No. 6 does not stop
here it will not take on any second
class mail matter, consequently
the Beach publishers are compell-

Glendive where they are transferred
to No. 6, making them "a hours

towns are complaining and it is

THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF BILLINGS COUNT,

some Time ago Iue eulIOI IeCelV.
ed inquiries from the Agricultural
College at Fargo in regard to the
creamery situation at this point.
We replied and endeavored as near
as possible to give the condition Of
affairs here, giving as the principal
drawback, the lack Of cows. This
week we received the following
communication which will be of in
terest to all those interested in the
creamery and its success:
"Your recent report on condi-
tion at Beach was read with much
pleasure, and with a little ques-
ton in my mind as how best to
answer it with something that
should be helpful to the creamery
situation.
"a good many Of our creameries
have been started without sufficient
cow-backing. to coin a word. 1t
takes a steady supply of cream to
maintain the reputation Of a cream
cry in the selling centers, and it is
very unfortunate if one is started
before there are enough COWS to as
sure it steady patronage.
81 found as farmer in this state
that l could not afford to spend
the time to deliver cream to the
creamery. l do not know your
situation sufficiently we'll to say,
but will suggest that possibly there
is a cause Of lack Of patronage. Take
the man who has four or five COWS;
he cannot leave his work in the
middle of the season and go to
town with two or three days cream,
and if he lets the matter slip along
until the end Of the week, and
takes the cream in, sour, and often
rancid, and the buttermaker &C.
cepts that cream it puts the butter
off grade, and the net return is
a cut price on the butter ship.
ment. Such conditions faced US,
and put our local creamery out OF
business. (Hannaford)
1.-The practice once common in
the east, of hiring a cream hauler,
might work., l put the question
advisedly, knowing that it takes
a good many little dabs Of cream
to pay hauler's wages.
"It NAV be very possible that
