MRS. JOHN BLURTS
OUT HER LOVE FOR
DENTIST AFFINITY

Br~emerhaven, Feb. S.-Mme. Carl
Jorn, wife Of the famous opera singer,
who went to New York to secure her
husbands permission to leave him for
another man., in a remarkable interview
while on the B~remerhaven pier yester-
day, threw open her heart and detailed
the story of her great love for the Ber-
lin dentist.
DR.. William Miederer, Who won the
beautiful m from her artist hus-
band. came from Berlin to accompany
her the rest Of the way to the German
capital. Their reunion was joyous and
open and perhaps accounts for Mrs.
Jorn's willingness to talk freely. When
the steamer landed at Plymouth she
was %laughingly evasive.
II am happy, oh, so happy" she cried.
Indeed, I am almost overcome with
the joy of the reunion with the man I
love. 1 believe that I have acted for
ject in every woman's life is to love and
be loved.
mo oma ought to be content to
rest until she attains the fullest meas
ure of happiness in this respect. Let
those who condemn me pause for q
moment and consider my married life.
1T was cold and joyless. In my home
there was the frigid atmosphere Of
great artists who were wrapped up In
their art, which had become their real
love. Such a man has no right to
marry, no right to claim the affections

them in courtship. Ordinary husbands
can satisfy such desires to some degree,
but great artists not at ALL"
The dentist lover was waiting on the
pier as the steamer came In. He paced
nervously up n down, his eyes sea
ward, dangling two bedraggled ba-
quets in one hand and with the other
leading the tenor's little son, who had
been left in his custody when the
mother rushed off to New York.
The moment the gang plank was
thrown out the tenor's wife ran from

the dentists arms. She kissed his face

New York, Feb. 6.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Trade in general displays a certain
degree of quietness, not. by the way,
unusua at this time, a etwee season
period, but in several quarters there Is
a greater disposition to act conssrva-
lively in the matter of purchase. For
n thing, the agitation for lower
prices tends to the belief hat quota
tions may receGe to more attractive
levels and at the same time some large
interests seem to fear inimical action
from the federal authorities at Wash
ington. There is some uneasiness over
laber matters, demands actual n
prospective for higher wages being
plentiful. In some cases increased
interests, the railways, do not see their
way clear to allow the employees re-
quest.
The outlook for distributive trade is
good, though the demand naturally
shows a relative recession from the
high marks established in December,
while far distant trade is slow to de-
velop, pending a clearer view of crop
and other conditions.
Business failures for the week end
ing with February 8 in the United
States We're 242, against 295 last week,
2S6 in the like week of 1909, 272 in 1908,
1913 in 1907 and 204 in 1906.
Business failures in Canada for the
week number 80, against 43 last week,
and AZ in the like week of 1909.
r. G, Dun's weekly review Of trade
says today:
Industrial and mercantile conditions,
though irregular, on the whole are very
satisfactory, with promising spring
outlook. The event of this week has
been the great weakness in securities.
The failure record has been greatly
expanded in amounts involved during
the past month, but the record seems
worse than it really is becaus it's big
total Of liabilities is due to a hand
full of large defaults, chiefly by broker
age firms. The record, nevertheless,
has a depressing effect. 1t is difficult
to discover any material falling off in
the volume of trade, although it is
undoubtedly tru that there is less Of
the tremendous push of two or three
months ago. While there has been no
return to he remarkable activity of a
few months ago, current consumption
of iron n steel continues in heavy
volume, a1d all leading producers are
busily engaged in filling contracts on
their books. There has been some
s~lackening of demand in a few finished
lines, as consumers have ample stocks
and buy co~nservatively as a result,
but on the whole orders for materials
are numerous, although for smaller
amounts than of late.

Bad luck was the Kentucky's lot al
most Immediately after she left New
York for her IL ,000-mile voyage on jan
uary %. Good luck was her lot when
wireless instruments were the last
things installed before she departed.
One hundred and fifty miles off Sandy
Hook the vessel began leaking badly.

Captain Moore was able to reach New
port News with 163 inches Of water in
the vessels hold. There repairs were
made and the ship received a certificate
from Lloyds and the United States in
spector at the port saying she was
sound and ~seaworthy.
Notwithstanding this assurance, T. A.
McLarney, formerly the night operator
at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York,
who had shipped with the vessel when
she left this port, refused to continue
on the voyage because his parents at
Monticello, N. Y, had a premonition
that something would happen. They
bombarded him with messages to this
effect, and in Difference to their wishes
he obtained a substitute operator, W.
D. McGinnis, who sent out the call
which saved the lives Of his shipmates
yesterday. The Kentucky was insured
for $40, 900.

this state. After having been out over

may bring the bill against the United
