NOTES OF INTEREST.


York City college, was too studlous ana
cared too little for the joys and pleas
ures of boyhood A few months ago he
suffered a nervous breakdown from over
WORK, and his family persuaded him 10
leave the college and take up gardening
walking and baseball. The other day
the boy disappeared from his home. his
family, remembering his nervous break
downs was greatlyealarmed. A few days
later, however, came a letter from the
studious, other-worldly young man, dateG
Syracuse, which read: Am well ana
have plenty of funds. Am walking to
San Francisco to see Jeffries-Johnson
fight" Regarding this as token OF
perfect cure, the family ceased worrying
and will let him walk.
Mrs. Gussie Adler of 1856 Forty third
street. Brooklyn, caused the arraignment
of her husband, Charles, in the Flat
bush court on charge of intending 10
desert her for two months and go TO
California to see the Jeffries-J OhnsOn
fight.
Only 10 and a bride, Mrs. Adler told
Magistrate Nash that her husband had
no right to leave her for any prize hght
and she requested the court to put him
under bonds not to leave Brooklyn.
Il don't know what he may see and
do out there in California" said the
bride. He may see someone he likes
better than me. He may not be faith
full to me. Oh, judge, l wish you could
lock him up in prison until after that
old fight is over"
Magistrate Nash threw up his hands:
Young woman" he said, IF | were
to render a decision in your favor there
would be hundreds of women fiocking to
me for the same purpose. | am sorry
to say the law compelS me to refuse you.
If your husband provides for you Wnlle
he is gone, he has a perfect right to
leave you for limited time. He may
go to the big fight or he may go to
Europe to see the Passion Play. He is
a free agent so long as he fulflls his
obligatiOps to you
The disappointed bride burst into tears
and was led sobbing from the court
room by her husband.
On a ruling by Deputy Surveyor
George Smyth after a customs lnVestl-
cation Henry c.. Stuart, nephew of Gen.
Jeff Stuart of Civil war fame and
reputed a millionaire, consented to pay
full duty on goods In the, tWenty-fl!EEe
brought into New York on the Maure-
tania Of the Cunard line. JEFF" Stuart's
nephew was fighting mad at the publicity
given him, but said he would settle.
Dutable goods valued at $500 had been
declared by Mrs Stuart, but $4,000
worth Of undeclared jewelry, gowns and
silk underwear were found IN the bag
gage opened at the pier. Mrs. Stuart
cOntended she was a nonresident by
virtue Of a two years sojourn abroad.
Deputy Surveyor Smyth decided it was
a case of misrepresentation, and that there
was no necessity for proceeding, as In
the recent case OF former Gov. Rollins
of New Hampshire.
Nov I can understand why they used
to burn witches IN days OF old" re-
marked Magistrate Kernochan In New
York, after listening to a weird tale Of
sorcery which caused him to hold Mrs.
Carmela Rubino for trial. The COM
plainant was Mrs. Leonora Buffano, who
said that she had paid the defendant
1870 III all for mystic treatment for
chest pains, cleaning the house Of devils,
treating her husband for rheumatism and
influencing him not to desert her. The
treatment consisted of sprinkling vel
low powder On the chest, tying a blue
ribbon around Mrs. Buffano's leg, bury
ing, Or presumably burying, 500 of the
compartments money, and other stunts.
Thornton Green, an elevator boy, y
years old of Los Angeles, has been suf
ferlng for years from a constant fever
and his physician has just discovered
the cause-twO extra and unnecessary
ribs. According to members of the Los
Angeles Medical association Green's case
is something new in medical annals, and
it is asserted that the young man will
have to undergo an operation for the
removal of the ribs if he wants to avoid
sweating to death. Since his bOyhood
Green's temperature has ranged between
two and four degrees above normal and
his perSplratlOn is SO enervating that he
cannot sleep under any cover or endure
physical effort. The supernumerary ribs
are fully developed. They begin at the
cerebral vertebrae and curve downward,
crossing the natural ribs down to the
fourth. He suffers constant pain and his
lack of shoulder development, the doe
tor asserts, is due to the presence of the
extra ribs.
