HAPPINESS MENDED
IN CUPID'S COURT
Not Always, to Be Sure, but
One Reconciliation Is Good
Days Work

Five divorces and one reconciliation
were the result of the grind in Cupid's
court yesterday. In addition there were
the usual number of complaints filed.
The reconciliation was between Ly-
dia V. Heller and George c. Heller.
Mrs. Heller received an interlocutory
decree October IL, 1909. Less than
meIth remained for the fling of the
final decree, but after / months of sep
aration the two came to the conclusion
that life apart was fiasco. Therefore
they petitioned Judge Cabaniss to set
aside the decree.
Vain were the efforts of George II.
Coon to win back the love of his wife,
Leola, according to the testimony given
by him in Judge Graham's court. He
declared that he had given her three
chances to return to him, but that on
each occasion she informed him that
she loved certain John Goth, an Ala
media affinity. Therefore he asked for
divorce, and got it.
The following divorces were also
granted: Melissa A. Hill from George
w. Hill, cruelty; Victoria from Ernest
Northwidt, neglect; Alexander from
Marie Leblanc, desertion; Stella from
Robert O'RoNrke cruelty.
Albert Haslett filed suit for divorce
against Florence Haslett on the ground
of desertion; Agnes Common in her COM
paint charged Cruelty, beTtTuue H.
Lewis declared that Harry T. Lewis
deserted her few months after their
marriage; cruelty was charged by Fan
ME Pixley in her suit against Clarence
Pixley, and failure to provide was the
assertion of Alma Raftery against Oil
yer II. Raftery.
That he refused TO come home nights
was the allegation on which Mrs. Inez

things we have abolished torture
The Judge explained the object OF
torture in the past. He said:
In China, you know, we never pun

with which he has been charged. A

to confess. If he refuses we probably

HOLD STREET MEETING

Using the visit of Prince Hsun as an
opportunity to attract some attention
to the movement, members of the Cup
Ming society, an anti-imperiaistic or
ganization, met at Dupont and Clay

Posters had been pasted on the dead
walls of the district announcing the
meeting and a few dozen followers
gathered at the appointed place.
No disturbance occurred and no effort
was made by loyal Chinese or the po-

United States than it is in China
