his complaint.
The woman from whom separa-
tion is asked Is Wards second wife.
Ward makes allegation that since
their marriage six years ago she has
carefully collected his wages and has
refused to give him even enough to
buy luncheon, and on different occas-
ions has sent him to work hungry.
Ward, who is an expert steel work
er, submits figures to show that his

Mrs. Kate S. Pillsbury of this city The
wedding took place at the residence
of the brides sister-in-law Mrs. OH

Rev. Walter F. Brennan, pastor of
the Unitarian church, officiated
The house was beautifully decorat-
ed for the occasion and wedding sup
per was arranged for relatives and the
few intimate friends who gathered to
witness the ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis left on the ev-
ening train for New York. whence
they will leave for cruise along the
i Atlantic coast on their steam yacht,
the Lyndonia, before going to their
summer home in Camden, Me-
Among the wedding guests We're

Going to Boston he first became an

was in Boston that he met and mar

The two came to Philadelphia In
1876 and established the Tribune

until few years ago Mrs. Curtis
practically was the guiding genius ot

bought the Saturday Evening Post, ;

State Republican Platform Meeting in Coliseum
Will Undoubtedly be the Scene of Some
Stirring Times

This afternoon the progressive !
majority on the resolution commit /
tee gave out long platform which,
1t is proposed to rush through thei
convention.
1t Is probably the longest platformi
ever adopted in the state.
1t endorses protectSOn and thei
nize the tariff revision of 1909 as al
fulfillment of the party pledges. It
does not approve of a general revi-
sion at this time but urges a revt
sion Of the tariff on separate artt
cleo from time to time. They en-
dorse such efforts as Taft and his
advisors have made to fulfill the
promises Of the national platform.
They commend to the nation the type
of craftsmanship exhibited by Sena-
tors Dolliver and Cummins and they
heartily endorse their work upon the
tariff bill, the railroad bill and pos
tai savings banks bill. The patriotic
efforts of these senators to protect
the people from the greed OF special
| interests, are endorsed. 1t says:
Their attempts to secure the
largest measure OF equitable revision
of the tariff law was for the public
welfare 1t is with pride that the re-
publicans of Iowa recognize their ef.
forts for the welfare of the nation. !"
"The republicans of Iowa are the
best judges of what constitutes re.
publicanism, In their chosen repre-
sentatives.''

able representative"

DES MONIES, Aug. 3.-Senator A.
B. Cummins faced an audience fill
ing the Coliseum when he delivered
his speech as temporary chairman of
the republican plat.kl,m convention
today.
Cummins in his speech, at one
place, lauded the party of Lincoln,
Garfield, Mckinley and Roosevelt and
the crowd cheered.
Maj John F. Lacey, former con-
gressman from Oskaloosa, arose and
yelled What is the matter with
Taft?"
The standpatters yelled, Mention
Taft or sit down."
Cummins still refused and the pro-
gressives cheered.
There was riot of noise for five
minutes before Mr.. Cummins could
proceed.
The resolutions committee did not
get together until one o'clock.
Undoubtedly there will be a fight
| between the two factions. The pro
gressive platform which will probably
be adopted endorses Taft's admins

a fulfillment OF party pledges.

The standpatters on the committee
will offer minority report for
specific and unqualified endorsement

YOUR WIFE's BRIDGE PARTY.
How to Act Whom You Unexpectedly
BIunder In Upon IL.

R'under In Upon 1t.
1t is inevitable that just once in
your life you will make the mistake
of coming home early on an after
noon when your wife is entertaining
a bridge party. Therefore it is i'm
portant that you should know how
to act on that OCCASION.
When it dawns upon you that
you have blundercd into bridge
party do not stand just inside the
door twiddling your thumbs and
looking embarrassed. Any show of
embarrassment will prove what
your wife has so often said-that
the children get their gawkish tend
encies from their fathers side of
the house.
Say "Hello, girls" as you care
lcssly toss your hat into corner.
This greeting will please your wife's
elderly guests and will make the
younger ones admire your nerve.
While your wife is still gasping her
admiration hang your coat on the
hatrack, put your collar and tie on
the mantcl and as you loosen the
neckband of your shirt and kick off
your shoes ask her where your slip
pers are, A wife is always proud to
be able to help her husband.
Above all-and this is very i'm
portant-do not go away and hide
yourself in an upstairs room. When
you have been to your den and have
filed and lighted your oldest and
nutticst pipe, come downstairs and
minglc with your wifc's guests. Crit
icisc the plays made by the various
contestants. Occasionally chuckle
and say "Great Scott" when your
wife makes questionable play.
If at supper time the party is
still absorbed in the game and the
children are sitting in row on the
kitchen steps crying for bread do
not spoil your wife's play by telling
her about it or by throwing out
hints which probably she is too en-
crossed to notice The tactful way
to attract her attention is to burn a
smudge in the attic-a few old rags
in a brazier will smoke splcndidly-
then turn in fire alarm and go
downtown.
Later don't forget to send your
wife telegram to the effect that
you have been called out of town on
business and will not be back for a
week.-Chicago News.

Tyburn GalIows.

The last execution on a perma-
nent gallows in London took place
at Tyburn on Nov. z, 1888, the
malefactor being one John Austin,
condemned for highway robbery
with violence. For centuries Ty-
burn had been the scene of execu-
tions. The gallows consisted of
three posts, and around it were
open galleries, resembling race
stands, in which seats were let. On
account of the disgraceful scenes on
the road, executions were trans
ferred in 1888 to the area in front
of Newgate, despite the objections
of residents, and on Dec. of that
year the first hanging took place
there, when no less than ten we're
