AALTS LAWYER IN
LOST LOVE SUIT
Stenographer Clasps for Breath
as Witness Testifies in Action
Accusing Mrs. q. W. Clark.

Mrs. Eta A. Brown. a negro domes-
tic, was the sta witness today in Vice
Chancellor Howelrs court in the
divorce suit of George w. Clark against
his wife, Maggie A. Clark. of Plain
field.
Eta came from North Virginia about
two years ago. and talked so fast it
was impossible at times for Jesse Sal
mon, the court stenographer, to take
down what she said.
Asked by MI. Coddington, counsel
Tor the husband, if she had ever seen
the defendant and John Z. F1annery,
the correspondent, who was in court.
together ON any occasion. the witness
replied.
"One day about two years ago. 1 vas
sweeping the nails when l heard a
noise like Iovin' talkin'."
What do you mean: did you near
what they said?'
mo, sir. 1 did not.
We'll, how do you know it was low
ing?"
Goodness sakes, man, Don't you
think 1 know what lovin' talkin' is?
The same as o II I use
WHAT calculated the lawyer.
Eyes, jest the same as you use to
your wife and I use to my husband"
You say" continued Mr.. Coddington,
you don't know what they said. and
yet you are positive it was loving.
How do you know?n
well, when 1 seen them huggin' and
kissin' I was positive; that's the only
kind of talk they could use" she de-
clared with a triumphant air.
And YOU say you saw them"
Yes, sir"
And die you look a second time
Yes, sir. Jest the same as you would
do"
The Clarks were married in 1855, liv-
ing in Plainfeld all their married life.
For some time they were boarding at
the house of a Mrs. Fischer. 1t was
here that Mrs. Clark met Flannery,
who is the owner of a blacksmith shop.
Shortly after their meeting, it is al
legged by the husband, he noticed signs
of friendliness between them. At a
previous hearing Clark testified that
he frequently noticed his wife and
F1annery holding hands beneath the
tablecloth, but he did not mind this
so much as their kissing and hugging.
A denial is made on the part of the
wife, who is represented by George Moy.
Judge Williams and Assistant Prose-
cutor Walter L. Hatfield, jr., of Plain
field, appear for F1annery.

the manager of one of the biggest
stores. "We have simply been over

like the ~proverbial hot cakes. And to
illustrate how quick the American
public is to notice the signs of the
times, l might add that during the past
few days there has been a decided slump
in the toys which have to do with the
north pole, Esquimaux, icy cabins,
polar bears and the like. Before the
posur of DIR. Cook we had the live

they are a positive drug. But the pub

1t was explained hat there is also a
special big demand for microscopes and
microscopes, which have supplanted
the old magic lanterns. which brought
joy to the hearts of the youths of a
few years ago. The microscopes and
microscopes show moving pictures,
and prove a source of great delight to
young America. There is also an un-
usual demand for skates and sleds.
I'VE have sold more high-priced toys
that ever before" said the manager of
another big store. THE people seemed
to be supplied with money. and they
are spending it unstintingly. Grown
persons have been buying presents that
are useful, rather than ornamental"
Jewelry firms also report an unusual

He was shaving at the time, and turn

MR.. ALpRrcH AND THE CURRENCY.

Our neghbor The Evening Post" is not sure
that nothing good can come out of Nazareth
but it is sure that nothing good will come-not
if il can help IL. After acknowledging Senator
Aldrich's ambition TO round out his public career
by putting the currency system Of the country
on a permanently sound basis, THE Evening
Post declares that the Senator can never
realize his ambition. ANY bill identified with
his name would be politically damned from
1.-The moment Of fits introduction" His reputa-
"tion and the things he now stands for in the
public mind are such that any financial meas
.ure he advocates will be from the first violently
suspected will be powerfully attacked and will
BE defeated" Therefore, it calls, rather futilely,
upon currency reformers 10 deliver their cause
out of his hands.
But suppose Senator Aldrich prepares q good
measure such as advocates of currency reform
have been longing for these many years Is
any one going 70 attack and defeat a good meas
ure just because Senator Aldrichs name is at
tached TO it? Will 1.-The Evening Post" attack
an ideal plan OF banking and currency reform
just because Senator Aldrich proposes IL? And
If The Evening POST will not, who else will?
The principles Of banking are fairly well I'M
derstood and it will not be difficult 10 tell
whether the measure finally TO be proposed by
the Monetary Commission is sound In principle
or not. And If IL is sound in principle, of what
avail will the al hofninem argument be with
advocates OF a currency freed from the bond Sc
curity feature? If it is sound it will have the
support of all the elements outside Of Congress
which have steadily been supporting currency
reform, and within Congress Mr.. Aldrich can
bring to it a degree of support which. perhaps, no
other man in Washington could bring.
Give Mr.. Aldrich a chance. The Monetary
Commission is going at the subject in pains
taking and thorough way unusual in legislation
in this country. Its chairman has cured him
self of many of the notions he held when he
framed the Aldrich- Vreeland bill We hope he
has got rid OF all OF them. He is exhibiting the
proper spirit. The country for the first time is
earnestly contemplating currency reform upon a
complete and final scale, and with good prospects
of success. To attack Mr.. Aldrich can do no
possible service The measure he prepares will
stand or fall on its own merits, not upon Mr..
Adrich's merits as a tariff maker.

We hate TO seem 10 spoil good story, especially

For fortnight there has been a welcome ces-

by those who gave the recent revOlutionists
credit for a reasonable degree of honesty; for

would not rest content without them. They did
not hesitate TO sweep away any and every
barrier in the way of getting them. though It
were the Shah himself. And now that they
have secured them they are content.
There has been remarkable parallel between
Persia and Turkey In the circumstances and the
results of their revolutions. In each case there
was supposedly decadent and moribund nation
which for some time had been under a certain
degree Of foreign control and which was threat

TO avert the threatened catastrophe by revival

FATHERS AND CHILDREN.

We are surprised to see Supreme Court Justice
Brady ruling that a father does not desire to
see his sixteen months-old child oftener than
once a week. Said the learned Judge. in refus-
ing the petition of husband living apart from
his wife. for the privilege of. frequent COM
munion with his offspring: "Once a week is,
II think. all that an ordinary father. no matter
how devoted, would care to visit an infant
sixteen months old. And may speak with
more or less confidence, being myself the
father of seven" To the petitioners lawyer.
asking that his client be permitted TO take the
child out in the street, his honor remarked:
You must be A single man. take it,"
Though he qualified himself as an expert, we
don't believe the Judge is right about the senti-
ments of fatherhood. And even If he Is right,
Think of the Indictment he has framed against
the whole race of fathers for the womens clubs
and the mothers congress!
Besides isn't the judge excessively experienced
in paternity? How shall the father of seven
estimate the sentiments of the father of one?
The law of diminishing returns applies TO fam-
lies. The pleasure in the seventh. eighth, ninth
or tenth baby is not comparable with the JOY
over the first born The first baby is an event
the second is an occurrence. the third may be a
catastrophe, the fourth, fifth and sixth are born
and borne with resignation and philosophy; the
seventh-well it may be true that few fathers
would care to see their seventh oftener than
once a week. The father of seven Is still a
father, but emotionally he shades into the super
intendent of an orphan asylum.

cation Of the principle Of protection. and that In
itself is a gain worth all the turmoil and friction
OF the extraordinary session.
We have said that criticism of the new law
is already moderating. The people are disposed
TO give il a fair chance. The Democratic party
is in no position TO attack it, for the Democratic
party in Congress refused to cooperate when the
chance was offered 10 secure lower average
Of duties. The law.s fortunately, VIII. nave a
trial OF fifteen months before new Congress IS
chosen. The wisdom of calling an extraordinary
session TO deal with the tariff is thus vndicated.
The Mckinley law went into effect in 1880 only
a month before the elections for Congress. The
Wilson-Gorman law had only two months IN
1894 in which to try 10 justify itself The Re
publicans were defeated disastrously in lS9o'
and the Democrats in 1894. 1t is instructive TO
compare the violence of partisan criticism in
those two campaigns with the far soberer state
of public feeling now. We think that the better
the new law is understood and the clearer be
come the results. material and moral, OF the VIC
tory achieved over the reactionary forces In Con
gress the more convinced the country will be
that under President Tafts leadership the tariff
problem will be safely worked out in spirit of
eOuitv and nationalism.
