Operation for Appendicitis.

United States Senator Obadiah
Gardner was at the State House.

that vas asked him when he entered
any of the State departments was as
to the condition of his son, State
Hortlculturist Albert K Gardner. who
underwent an operation for appendi-
citis. q few days ago at Bangor. The
Senator had been in communication
with Bangor by long distance tele-
phone during the morning and was
able to say that the patient was gain
ing rapidly and unless some unex-
pected complication occurred was
past the danger point and, on ac-
count of his strong constitution, would
undoubtedly fully recover in 4 short
time.
state Horticulturist Gardner was
stricken, last Friday. with appendi-
citis, while conducting a. Farmers
Institute at Bucksport and his condi-
ton was so serious that 1t was neces-
saryN to send him Immediately to a
hospital at Bangor for an operation.
Senator Gardner has been by his
sons bedside during the greater part
of the time since the operation, only
coming to Augusta, Wednesday night.
Young Mr. Gardner during the short
time that he has been connected with
the department of agriculture has
made many friends at the State
House, who deeply regret his illness
and hope that he will soon be suffi-
GENTLY recovered to resume his duties

Miss Osgood, Thrice Wed, Fails to Find Connubial
Bliss, According to Her Testimony.

London, May 23.-Irene Osgood, the au-
thor of ITO a Nun Confessed and other
books, took the stand to-day in the trial
of her action for a judicial separation
from her husband, Robert Sherard, who
is also a writer. She testified that one
day in 1893 Sherard tried to force open
her bedroom door by beating on it with
huge iron poker. Mrs. Sherard fired a
revolver out of the window in order to
attract attention and bring help to her.
She, according to her testimony, was ul-
timately rescued in a fainting condition.
Miss Osgood said her husband had Of
ten threatened to make her life a red
HE'LL as stated by her counsel in his
opening address yesterday. On one occa-
sion Sherard accused her of immoral re-
lations with an unemployed butler and
threatened that unless she gave him
money he would publish the story of her
infamy to the world.
On cross-eXamination, Miss Osgood ad-
mitted that she had divorced her first
husband, and that her second was found
dead in a hotel under tragic circum-
stances.
Miss Osgood denied the assertion of
counsel for Sherard that she provided
the money for him to secure a divorce
from his wife in order that he might
marry her Miss Osgood. She said she
had always thought he was widower
until he signed the marriage register,
when they were made man and wife.

scripts that this library stands out first
in the world, for l believe, considered
from that standpoint, It is only sixth or
seventh the greatest collection; but it is
in the facilitating of circulation and in the
immense number of books that are dis
tributed each year for use to the citi-
zens and residents of New York and
vicinity that this library easily takes the
first rank.
"A library which affords constant refer
ences and reading room facilities to loo
people, and which circulates through
sixty branches its books at the rate Of
100000 a year. accomplishes so much
more in the popular dissemination of
knowledge than any other library in the

her husband worked hard before he mar
ried her. Miss Osgood said: He was
very Oriental in his habits; he never
worked"
Counsel for Mr.. Sherard pressed the
petitioner hard to tell why she had mar
r!ed him. Miss Osgood appealed to the
Judge, who told her she must answer
the question. The petitioner then said:
Sherard had brought ANONYMOUS letters
to her which said that people were talk
ing about her. and she thought 1t best
that she sould marry.
Replying to question as to whether
il was a fact that she told her husband
on no account TO call her wife, as
Americans disliked the word. Miss Os-
good gave vent to a passionate outburst
of denials. during which she said that
American women were the best of wives
and loved their homes.
Miss Osgood denied that she had
treated her husband as an employe.
Neither had she summoned him with
elleged by the other side. Her husband
had once admitted to her, she testified,
that all he wanted was her money If
he got that he would depart and never
return. He was an extra ordinary man,
Miss Osgood declared He would treat
her cruelty and then would write her
charming love letters. Again, he would
beat her. and then go into the garden,
hold up his hands to her window, and
indulge in all sorts of theatrical nom
sense.
The case was then adjourned.
