HOW TO EXIST ON
ONLY $40 A WEEK
Is Explained in Court During
the Trial of a Wife De-
sertiOn Case.

The vicissitudes of the married life
of poor man, were pathetically por-
trayed in police court this morning,
when Walter Castle was arraigned for
wife desertion, on an affidavit filed by
Nellie Castle, his wife. After the case
had been tried, the parties were called
into the private office of Superintend-
ent of Police Gormon, and they agreed
to live together again. If Castle fails
to keep his word he will be bound over
to the circuit court.
For ten years Castle kept his family,
week, always every Tuesday night
turning over to her all his wages.
Once Castle got dollar for a doctor S
bill, he said. He has had but little TO
spend on himself. On ten dollars per
week the wife paid the grocery bill.
rent, insurance, furnished the clothing
and other necessities of life.
After happy life for decade, Cast
tie saw another, Mrs. Jack Fihe. Since
that time, according to evidence, his
home has seen little of him. Not long
ago Mrs. Castle met her husband on
the street with the other woman, who
is young and pretty. The wife shows
the marks of time and hard work in
her face.
Look who's here" cried her hus-
band, it is said
What are you doing with my hus-
band?" demanded Mrs. Castle to the
other woman.

woman is alleged to have replied.
Would you abandon me for this
woman" asked Mrs. Castle, and to this
her husband replied.
you can't help your feelings. Every
one changes. I'd lay in Jail for her.
Then Castle is said to have departed
with the Fihe woman.
The family lives at 116 North G
street. In the terms of the settlement
Castle agreed to stay away from Mrs.
Fihe and to support his wife and chill
dren.

AFTER WEEK FINDS
FOOT BONE BROKEN

Last evening when w. 0. Horr, a
we'll known employe of the Gaar. Scott
and company started to walk home he
suffered so much agony he almost
tainted. Then he learned for the first
time a bone in his foot had been brok-
en-, though the injury occurred a week
ago. The physician called on Tuesday
evening said the break was bad one
and he would be confined to his home
for some time. About ten days ago a
trestle fell on his left foot at the fac
tory and though at the time it was
painful. he thought the foot was only
bruised and treated it with this idea in
view.

Wall Street Capitalist Named
as Principal on the Bond
of Good Faith on His
Water Works Bid.
is ANXIOUS TO BUY
THE PRESENT PLANT
If His Company Secures the
Franchise-Talks of the
Improvements He Would
Make to the Plant.

Following his return from New York
City, z. NJ. Campfield, who is resident
manager Of the E. NJ. Campfield COM
pany, bidding for the contract to fur
nish water to the city, today flied his
bond of $4,000 with the city clerk,
guaranteeing that in event his COM
pany's bid is accepted to observe the
contract and file bond which would
be sufficient to insure fulfilment OF
the contract. Mr.. Campfield announc-
ed that the principal named in his
guarantee bond is Lucien Hamilton
Tying, 55 Wall street, New York City.
The bond is given by the National
Surety company. of New York.
Mr.. Campfield insists that If his
company receives the franchise it shall
contain a purchase clause, providing
the right of the +. M. Campfield COM
pany to purchase the plant Of the Rich
mond City Water Works company, at
an appraised value determined as fol-
lows: Two appraisers to be appoint
dby the Richmond City Water Works
company: two by the Campfieid COM
pany and one by the Wayne circuit
court.
10 Resident Manager.
Mr.. Campfield is to be the resident
manager of the new company and is
empowered to act In full authority in
all business transactions of the COM
pany. L. II. Tying, named as principal
on the bond. gives the following refer
ences: The Fourth National bank.
Philadelphia; the firm of Bertrom,
Griscom and jerks. 40 Wall street,
New York City. and the Fuqua-Tyng
company Philadelphia.
Campfeld says his financial backing
Is of the best.
In event Campfield is successful in
his bid. the company he represents
proposes to spend 100000, immedi-
ately. on improvements of the plant of
the Richmond Water Works company.
One of the important improvements
would be a new rump. There are now
two pumps in operation in the plant.
Campfield explains the necessity of an
additional pump in the following way:
In case of large fire in Richmond
to secure the requisite water pressure
both pumps must be operated at full
capacity. Operating pumps at this rate
places them liable to accident. Should
one of them break down the pressure
would be insufficient to combat much
OF a blaze. With three pumps all dan.
ger from this source is eliminated, he
says.
Campfield says he would also con-
struct new well for receiving water
and make arrangements to double the
water supply and the size of the pres
ent reservoir. other improvements
recommended by Engineer Maury
would be made by the Campfield COM
pany, Mr.. Campfield says. He also
says new 30 inch pipe line into the
city by the way of the National road
running to Twenty-third street would
be placed. At 23rd street the pipe
would he reduced to 16 inches and run
south for two squares and then west
to Seventh and South b streets. At
that point another reduction to IL inch
pipe would be made. From there the
pipe would run to West Richmond.
Every section of the city where there
are no pine lines now would be fur
nished with water.

The fact that idlesness has fallen
into disrepute and is disdained even
by fashionable women is a blessing
to the girl who must work from neces-

The great majority of women work,

And this class of women have, Of
course, a tremendous advantage, for
they can choose the character of their
work and drop it when it becomes
uncongenial, while the woman whom
necessity drives has no choice nor
respite.
SO it behoves every girl early in
life to choose some congenial work
and thoroughly prepare herself for it.
