WILL CAPT. EMERSON SUE
WIFE FOR DIVORCE IN RENO
New York Press Says Step
father of Mrs. James Nc
ViCkar Will Get Divorce

Atlantians will be much interested in
a story printed in the New lork Press
that Capt. Isaac E. Emerson, istepfather
of Mrs James McVickar, who was Mrs
Jack Horner, of Atlanta, has separat-
ed from his wife and will shortly after
Thanksgiving, leave the east for Reno
Nevada, to secure a divorce from her.
Captain Emerson is known as the
bromo-seltzer king and is head of the
Emerson Drug company, of Baltimore
out of which he made his millions with
that patent headache medicine. He is a
prominent clubman, owner of two steam
Yachts, several country estates, city
home in Baltimore, and (curlously
enough) a home in Reno, Nevada. The
Reno home is the same in which Mrs
Margaret McKim, Captain Emerson's
own daughter, obtained a divorce from
Smith Hollins McKim last spring.
Captain Emerson was born in Chapel
Hill, n. c., worked his way through the
university of North Carolina, entered the
drug business in Baltimore in 1879 and
in 1889 organized the Emerson Drug com
pany with money lent him by the IA
Their of his present wife. His income is
estimated at about $1.000000 a year, OF
which it is said $4,000 goes to Mrs. Nc
Kim as her annual allowance.
The news of the repor,O-. separation
and impending divorce suit has apparent
ly stirred New York, for the paper here
quoted devotes much space to it and de-
tails every triviality of gossip. 1t is said
that the separation took place at the
Waldorf-AstOria in New York last Sun
day, Captain Emerson taking up his
quarters at the New York club. Captain
and Mrs. Emerson have lived together
for 80 years. The Press intimates that
Mrs. Emerson will contest the divorce
suit.
1.-The contemplated action will be the
third of its kind in the Emerson family
within three years" says the Press.
First, the present Daisy McVickar di-
vorced T. Mitchell Horner of Atlanta.
Ga, who afterward sued Captain Emer-
son for 100000 for alienation of her af-
fections. Last spring Margaret Emer
son McKim obtained redress for her hus-
bands alleged crueIties in Ter Reno de-
cree. Now her millionaire father, who is
81 years old, will enter the divorce
court"

Throw Shells Into Loyal Battle
Ships and Then Shell the
|. City---The Authorities Take
Prompt Action
MEN DISSATISFIED
WITH NAVAL RULES
Affair Is Said Not to Be Politi-
Cal, But a Demonstration of
the Seamen Against Corporal
Punishment and More Pay

RIO JANEIRo, Nov 24.-The crews OF
two battle ships of the Brazilian navy
mutinied yesterday. They turned their
guns upon the loyal ships and also thre
few shells into the city.
During the outbreak several officers
were killed. The lighting ceased at night,
but the revolters remained in possession
of the. two vessels.
Today the battle ships with their mu-
tinous crews were anchored outside the
bar awaiting action by the government.
Congress was summoned in session at
O'Clock this afternoon to deal with the
situation. The censorship is strict and
details of the trouble cannot be cabled at
this time.
II is officially stated the trouble is
not OF a political character and should
be described as a mutiny among the sail
ors to force certain concessions from
the officers, rather than a revolt against
the administration of President Fonseca.
For some time the men Of the navy had
been agitating the matter of more pay.
They also objected to the practice in the
navy of INJECTING corporal punishment
upon insubordinate or otherwise offend
ing sailors.
when the crews of two Of the bigger war
ships turned upon their superiors. 1t
Is reported that the captain of the battle
ship Minas Geraes was killed.
Following the fighting. the mutineers
made a formal demand for increased
pay and the abolition of corporal pun
ishment and then withdrew to the outer
harbor. The mutineers expect congress
TO pass a measure this afternoon grant
ing them amnesty. 1t is believed that If
this is done the trouble will be at an
cad Should congress refuse amnesty to
the revolters, the subsequent attitude Of
the latter is in doubt The situation is
tense and there is considerable anxiety

their offerings into the vessel, say their prayers and give way to others. The priests fish out the stuff and carry It to their temple. Near by they sacrifice goats. Here is also large statue or Kali, but the room is so dark that you cannot see it plainly. The goat IS placed with his neck in notched up- right plank and a man cuts off the head with heavy sword. The priests get the body and the head is turned over to women who shave the skin off, chop it up and sell it. Beef is forbidden, but they can eat goat meat. When 1 was there 1 saw over dozen goat heads. They told me that if paid for a goat, they would kill him and it would help me out like everything in the hereafter But had my hereafter all fixed several years ago inthe mosque of Omar in Jerusalem and several times since, the last being in Buddhist monastry where l was presented with motto three feet long, picked out my heaven and was allowed to see all the mysteries of the monastery, all for thirty-two cents. Besides l would have derived no pleasure from seeing the poor goat killed to fatten the worthless priests. l do not like to see a goat or anything else suffer. It was dirty, bloody, slippery place; there was some- thing revolting about the occupation of the women. Half an hour was long enough for me to visit everything at Halighat, yet there were thousands of people there every day and had been thousands of people there every day and every hour of the day for hundreds of years worshiping, and all of them as earnest as 1 ever was about anything.
 The mint is worth visiting. A few blocks from it on the bank of the river is the burning ghat. There were five bodies burning when was there. The Hindoos cremate their dead; the Mo- hammedans bury theirs. A number of nice little boys were digging half burned bones out of the fire and offer ing them for sale very cheap. l. did not finger there. There is very large native quarter where the streets are narrow and not very clean, where the boys and girls run naked and practi- cally nobody speaks English.
 The river is crossed by pontoon bridge. Across the river is the main railway station of Calcutta. Some dis tance from it are the botanic gardens. This is really a large park with all kinds of tropical plants and trees. They are the finest gardens in the world and send plants to gardens and parks all over the world. There are many large conservatories with the rarest and most beautiful flowers. There are orchids until you dream of them. There are many beautiful drives and walks and the avenue of palms is wonder. But the great thing Is the boabab or banyon tree. This tree grows fast and sends out great branches, from which roots are shot out which drop down and when they touch the ground take root. Then the hanging root becomes tree and grows. Other roots drop down, new trees are formed, all being connected to parent trunk. This banyan tree has circumference of over .thousand feet, has hundreds of shoots, all being connected. No trouble finding shade there. Some of the roots drop from branches more than twenty feet high.

Why not grow grain or alfalfa, or
