tion of Mr.. Ogden, to repair the roof

serious condition, and he felt displeas-
ed, and he was sure that all Council
men felt the same way as he did. Mr..
Whitaker said that he wanted to make
motion that Mr.. Hughes get busy
and get busy at once, and if he could
not put the system in shape to get
somebody that could. The motion was
passed.
Mr.. Hughes appeared before Council
and there was some discussion regard
ing the system, and it was brought
out that the Commissioner was some
what suspicious that there was some
body working to prevent the system
working properly, and Councilmen
frankly declared to Nr. Hughes that if
he would get the matter before them
so that they could act, they would
stand by him in extreme measures.
Upon motion of Mr.. Mulford, the
City Clerk was authorized to advertise
for 100 length of in. pipe, bids to be

WE'D SOU[MATE
MilliOnaire's Wife Resigns Self
to Victory of Politicians
Daughter.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-To free her
husband, she says. so that he may
marry his "soul-mate.' the daughter
of a prominent New York politician,
Mrs. Oscar A. Turner, declared today
at the Waldorf-Astoria she would go
to a Western State to apply for a di-
vorce as soon as a satisfactory financial
settlement is made.
Mr.. Turner is president of the Ely
Copper Company. Since January he and
his wife have been living in separate
apartments.
TT was my desire to escape pub
licity," Mrs. Turner said today, but
since the report is out / might as well
admit | have engaged counsel to begin
action for divorce. l am now awaiting
the negotiations for a satisfactory
financial settlement. Mr.. Turner has
been a cohsiderate and devoted husband
throughout our married life. There was
never any friction until early his year,
when he came to me and confessed that
he had found a 'soul-mate' and could
no longer live with me. L came as a
surprise and for weeks 1 was simply
dazed.
after my return from Europe last
October with my son l went to San
Francisco for a visit, and there l met
with an automobile accident which
came near resulting fatally. 1t was
after my return to New York that my
husband told me of his 'soul-mate.'
She is the daughter of a prominent New
York politician and he is openly re-
eeived at her home

A few days ago 1 went with two
other Americans, from Jaipui to Amber
on an elephant.
All along the old road up to the pal
ace of Amber the trees are loaded with
monkeys-large white-haired and black
faced fellows. Scores of them sat on
the walls and laughed as we went by
or seemed to-and l don't know them.
Finally we came up to some native boys
| who were stirring up our ancestors in
the trees by heaving rocks at them. The
upshot mo; that isn't a pun) of the
matter was that a branch broke under
one monkey in his haste to get out of
range and he landed in the centre of
our party. He was gone in a second,
of course, but he paralyzed that ele-
plant excursion in less time than that.
Naturally there was a lady with us to
faint and make the picture complete.
Yours, WEB.
