Mrs. William D. Bishop Refuses
to Secure Divorce from Hus-
band Who Left Her

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Most unusual
is the predicameut in which William
d. Bishop, retired capitalist, railroad
president, prominent yachtsman ana
clubman of New York and Bridgeport,
Conn.,, finds himself.
Nearly six years ago Mr.. BlShop ana
his wife separated amicably without a
divorce, and Mr.. Bishop settled a mil
lion dollars on his wife and their two
children, Miss Natalie and William d.
Bishop, third. Now Mr.. Bishop has
fallen in love-something that seemed
a remote possibility to him at the time
of the separation-with Mrs. Pauline
Valentine, a beautiful widow, who,
coming on adverse times, ran mani
cure parlor in lower Fifth avenue,
Manhattan Whether he met the fair
widow in the manicure parlor or not
neither he nor she will say, but Mr..
Bishop says he wishes to marry the
widow and the widow says but for the
existing Mrs. Bishop she would most
willingly marry Mr.. Bishop.
Mrs. Bishop is silent. She resides
with her daughter and her son, Yale
student, at 179 Courtland street,
Bridgeport She was Miss Susie
Washhurne Of Chicago. Her brother,
Charles e. Washburne, a noted Illinois
lawyer, supervised the drawing of the
separation papers of the Bishops.
Mr., Bishop is a grandson of Albert

Glen Cove, which he gave to Mrs. Val
entine about year ago and where,
with others, he Is her guest.
WHAT MRS. VALENTINE SAYS
Mrs. Valentine said:
Il am ready to do anything to make
Mr.. Bishop happy. He has said that
he wants to marry me, and am GER
tainly willing to marry him should the
obsetacle ever be moved which now
stands in our way. 1t Is so hopelessly
an obstacle, too! There are no grounds
of which 1 know that would warrant
Mrs. Bishop suing for a divorce in New
York state. Perhaps 1t would not be
SO difficult in Connecticut. Mr.. Bishop
was most generous in his settlement on
leaving his wife. She could not have
loved him then or she would have tried
to keep him. Surely she has not sud
denly discovered that she loves him
and cannot give him up

Hog Cholera.

\ successful demonstration of the
value of the new government serum or
preventing hog cholera has just been
concluded at South Omaha, Nebr., by
the Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Department of Agri
culture. The efficiency of the serum
has been proved many times in the
past, but in order that it's value might
be brought more strikingly before the
people of Nebraska demonstration
was arranged for at the Union Sockk
Yards at South Omaha in cooperation
with the Uuion Stock Yards Company
of Omaha.
The stock yards company purchased

thirty pigs, weighing from 40 TO 60
pounds each, from a farm which had
been free from hog cholera for several
years. These pigs were brought to
the stock yards, and on July %, 1910,
four of them we're injected with blood
from hogs sick of hog cholera. These
inoculated pigs were placed in pen
by themselves, and within five days
they had bect me sick, at which time
eighteen of the remaining pigs were
given one dose of the serum, while
the other eight pigs we're not treated
in any way The eighteen serum
treated pigs and the eight untreated
pigs we're then placed in the same pen
with the four pigs which had been
made sick by incubation.
The four pigs which were given hog
cholera all died, and the eight un-
treated pigs all contracted the disease
from them. The eighteen pigs which
were gwen serum, and which were
confined in the same pen with the
four original sick pigs and with the
sick untreatd pigs, remained perfectly
we'll, and we're finally turned over to
the officials Of the stock yards com
pany upon the completion of the ex-
pertinent, September IT, 1910.
The experiment was witnessed by
representatives of the Nebraska Agri-
cultural experiment Station and of
tn Nebraska Swine Breeders Associa-
ton, as we'll as by the representatives
of agricultural papers published in
Nebr aska.
The Department of Agriculture does
not distribute this serum to farmers,
but it is endeavoring to bring the
value of this method to the attention
of the stock raising interests in order
that they may arrange to secure state
funds for the manufacture and distri-
button of the serum. The govern
ment authorities consider that this
new serum treatment, il properly APP
piled, will result in the saving Of
millions of dollars.

Golden made display that would
please the most fastidious. The dis
play of apples was of course not equal
to the display from east of the noun
tains which won the prizes at the
state fair ut Yakima. In the vegeta BILE
line. however, all other fairs were
distanced. Not only we're there gil
gantic pumpkins, but magnificent
display of potatoes, tomatoes and all
root crops. Prof. Lawrence of the
state experiment station had the
finest display of forage plants and
grasses he has ever gotten together.
Another remarkable display of his
was 100 val ieties of potatoes.
In the center of this building was
magnificent horticultural display of
all kinds of Fall flowers in great
abundance and beauty The manu-
features building WAS filled with
booths in which dealers of farm i'm
plements had displayed their best
wares under competent supervisors.
The bee department under Mr..
Ware, one of the most enthusiastic
apiarists on the Coast, drew large
crowds every afternoon, as he ga @
his lectures on bee culture. Mr..
Ware is working hard to help establish
the bee industry of this state, and he
is willing to help any one who will
ask his advice. He had dozens of
swarms on the ground, and the way
he handled them without gloves was
revelation to many people who think
that bees cannot be handled without
danger. Mr.. Ware had large display
of honey, showing the different kinds
obtained from di tferent blossoms.
In the woman's building was found
one of the finest exhibits of woman's
work ever seen in this state. There
was all kinds of cooking and handi-
work and the art department ontained
a splendid lot of paintings in oil and
water colors.
The fair this year, as in the past,
has been practically under charge of
president PauIhamus, vice president
Smell and secretary John Mills. They
have worked hard, and deserve the
congratulations of people of Western
Washington for building up such a
fair. t
