Take S6.4I6 in Cash.

indianapolis, Dec. 3O.-The State
Bank Of New Palestine. at New Pales-
tine, a small town in Hancock County,
fourteen miles southeast Of indianapolis
on The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton Railroad. was broken into last night
and its safe robbed of s6,4l6 in cash.
The door of the bank was opened with
a skeleton key and the robbers seemed
to have no trouble in working the COM
bination of the safe. When the bank
officers arrived this morning they found
the door open and papers scattered over
the floor. Not a penny of the banks
deposits was left.
The burglars are supposed to have left
New Palestine on an Indianapolis and
Cinci1nati traction hand car and to have
transferred the car from the traction line
to the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
tracks short distance from the town.
The finding of the hand car near Irving
ton indicates that the robbers came TO
this city.

New York. Dec S0-The appellate di-
vision OF the Supreme Court to-day
granted to Julia Kuttner Earle an annul-
ment of her marriage TO her former
soul mate, Ferdinand Pinney Earle, the
artist. The marriage occurred in Venice,
Italy, March II, 1905. 1t was prior to this
marriage to the plaintiff that Earle an
nounced that he had discovered his
"soul-mate,"
Earle was married in March. l90S to
Marie Emile Fishbacher. in Paris, and
left her a few years later. In 1898 his
first wife sued for divorce on the ground
OF deseTtiOn. She was successful, but
neglected to "Transcribe the executOry
part Of the decree in the register of the
Etat Civil" where the marriage was
recorded which should have been done
before the divorce was actually effective.
Mrs. Earle finally performed this techni-
cality in May, 1908, two months after
Earle's marriage to Julia Kuttner.
In her suit for annulment Mrs. Julia
Kuttner Earle claimed that Earle had
no legal right to marry her, as he was
still the husband of his first wife.

AT practically all the hotels provisions

added three new restaurants.
In some of these, tables cannot be
