Been Drinking.

An attempt TO have a mans breath
introduced as evidence In the divorce
case of Minnie M. Priest against her
husband. Sylvester, was made by At
torney Herman Greenberg represent
Ing the plaintiff, in Judge Murnn's
court Monday.
Mrs. Priest alleged that her hus-
band drank and was cruel to her, but
when he was called to the stand, he
testified that he had been drunk only
once during his married life.
"You honor. wish you to smell the
defendants breath to show you that
he had a drink before coming to the
court room," said the attorney.
The court declined the invitation.
Although Priest declared that his
wife has several afflnities and that 1t
was because OF them that he was
forced to leave her. he testified that
he had been friendly with her since
the bill for divorce had been filed,
having visited her at her home a num-
ber Of times. He said that week
ago he went to her home and bought
ice cream and peanuts for her and the
children.

DIVIDENDS ARE CUT.
Mexican Crude Rubber Co. Makes Re-
duction 20 20 Per Cent.

ductton 10 ~ rer Sent.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Mexican Crude Rub
ber Co. was held in the Offices OF the
concern In the Penobscot building,
Monday morning, having been post
poned from May %.
The most important action taken
was the recommendation that the d.
rectors pay dividends In future at the
rate of 20 per cent in quarterly in
stalments OF 5 per cent Since Oc-
tober. of last year the company has
been paying 3 per cent monthly.
The reports submitted for the year
showed assets of $2,460,9S0 on Dec.
81, 1910 The company showed a net
gain for the year 1910 Of sS38,965, and
after paying dividends amounting to
$12S,460 and writing off $250,000 for
depreciation showed surplus at the
beginning of the year amounting TO
$606,647 The company estimates its
profits for the year 1911 at $564,576,
of which $306,532 has already been
earned. The drop In the price or
crude rubber has cut the profits for
the year.
The officers report that operations
have been somewhat interfered with
on account OF the revolutionary trou-
bles in Mexico, the cutting OF rail-
road communication making IL diff
cult to make or receive shipments
This has tended to keep down the
output, although sufficient rubber 10
