aged couple was most affectionate.
The count was lying in bed in a
semi-delirious state, so bad mentally
In fact, that at times he did not recog-

acting as his nurse His wife, pale,
agitated and trembling, entered the
room. Count Tolstoi stared at her

OF MEATS
IN CITY ARE CUT
And Prediction Is Made that
Normal Prices Can Be
Expected Shortly.

Whether it Is mere flash to re-

case following the general boycott on
the high priced meats In June, or 4
genuine slice in prices. the present
reduced retail prices OF several kinds
Of meat are encouraging to the local
consumer. The consumer is promised
that the prices on meats will continue
to be reduced until the quotations that
prevailed several months ago are
again restored.
Cuts of pork and lamb are the
meats which are cheaper now than
they were two weeks ago. according
to the statements OF the local retail
ers. Beef and veal remain about the
same on all cuts, this being due to
the fact that the market for cattle and
calves has not been affected like the
market for lambs. and hogs.
Bacon still Way Up.
Bacon. perhaps of more general use
In this city than any other meat. has
not suffered in the general slicing OF
the prices on pork cuts. This is due
to the fact that hogs. from which the
present supply of bacon is now COM
ing, were butchered several weeks ago
and the retailers have refused to re
duce bacon prices until the supply
comes on the market from the cheaper
hogs. or. those which have been sold
in the last two weeks. II hogs ad.
vance in price again bacon probably
will remain high. It is now selling
from 25 to 30 cents a pound. which IL
from 10 to Is cents higher than It was
several months ago.
Today the following quotations were
found to be the general local retail
prices: Pork chops. Is to rs cents

bacon 25 to 80 cents pound. nc

ed the greatest They were selling
ten days ago. the dealers say, at Is tc

The cuts Of beef range from to u

ODD DIVORCE CASE
NOT YET DECIDED
Man Weds Woman Whose
Husband Is Living, but Is
Not Given Freedom.
american News service)

New York, Nov. 16.-When : is. a
husband not husband. but only the
commissary of wellordered estab-
lishment, was decided the other day in
the supreme court when Col. William
A. Stokes. for many years commander
Of the Twenty-third regiment of the
National Guard, secured an annul
ment of his marriage to Elizabeth w.
Hitchings, wife of John H. Hitchings.
In the belief that Hitchings was dead
the colonel married his supposed wild
ow five years ago and with her enter
tanned -lavishly at their handsome
home in St. Marks avenue. If the gal
liant guardsman had been hit with a
piece of shrapnel walking down Broad
way any bright morning he could not
have been more stunned than he was
two years ago when friend informed
him that Hitchings was alive and liv-
ing in Los Angeles, Cal. s When he
asked his wife about it she protested
that her former husband had gone
to Alaska and had died there. Sus-
picious that he had been deceived, the
colonel instituted an investigation.
which disclosed that his wife had am
pie opportunity of ascertaining the
whereabouts of the missing husband
through his brother, who is practic-
ing lawyer in this city, Convinced Of
this he began proceedings to have the
marriage set aside on the ground that
the woman already had husband liv.
ing at the time she contracted the sec.
ond marriage. But the court refused
to grant his application because he
continued to live with Mrs. Hitch.
ings for two years after he learned
the truth. On appeal, the court of ap.
peals reversed the judgment of the
lower court and ordered a new trial.
This has just been decided in favor
of the colonel.
