IRISH PRESS DIVIDED
ON HOME RULE MEASURE.

DUBLIN, Ireland, April 2.-The Ma
tionalist papers of Ireland on the whole
consider the governments home rule
bill as satisfactory. although some OF
them profess TO regard 1t as not being
f1nal.
The Freeman's Journal describes the
bill as the greatest. the boldest and the
most generous of the three home rule
bills, and says:
1--WE should not be surprised to ma
it received with hearty welcome by the
Irish party"
The Irish Times, Unionist, says: The
measure will prove so utterly unwork-
able as to offer no middle course be-
tween separation from Great Britain
and return to the status of the
union"
An Irish Independent remarks: sit
would probably be correct in describ-
ing the bill to say that 1t gives US
three-quarters of what we expected
and probably not so large share OF
what we demanded. The measure can
not be regarded as final.''
The Cork Free Press says: Tine
governments scheme is not solution
OF the Irish problem"

HUBBY COT TIRED
OF KISSING HER.
Wife Gets Divorce from Man
Who "Had No Time for
Such Fo0Iishness."

JERSEY CITY, April 12.-After a
brief but hard-fought trial Mrs. Fanny
T. Ramsey. of 279 York street, has been
granted decree nisi of divorce from
Floyd Ramsey. chief accountant in the
Union Trust Company.
The wife charged him with desertion.
One of his lines of defense was that his
wife visited her mother LOO of,en. Mrs.
Ramsey, as Fanny Tilden, while a
young girl. eloped with Edward Nor
gan.
Morgan later disappeared. His de.
serted wife waited Lwo years and then
secured a divorce. She was married
to Mr.. Ramsey in 1911, the alleged de-
sertion occurring on September 8, 1903.
ON the stand Mrs. Ramsey declared
her husband had no affection for her,
and that only shortly afLer their we'd
ding when she would asa him to kiss
her he would reply that he had mo
time for such foolishness." She said:
'He told me he wanted to talk to
some one with brains" She added
that he accused her in the presence of
several of her friends that she was In
love with another man; that she denied
the accusation and swooned.
Mrs. Ramsey said she returned from
a shopping tour and found half a dozen
policemen at the York street home,
two lawyers, her husband and two
moving vans. The house was nearly
stripped of furniture.
Mr. Ramsey testified his wife did
not keep the house In order; that she
stayed out with her mother, who lived
a few doors away. until after mid
night, and that another man was pay
ing her attentions at her mothers
house.
A typewriter letter sent to Mrs.
Ramsey by her husband on September
4. 1909, the day following the alleged
desertion. telling the wife that he had
another home for her and that he
wanted her to join him was put in evil
dence.
THE letter was not bona 1de," said
John Enrith. counsel for Mrs. Pamsey.

laurel by figure in the rear.
Many men who had worn the blue"
during the Civil War were present and
were scarcely less sympathetically in
terested In the imposing ceremonial
than were those who had worn the
gray" The occasion served to prove
once more how completely the beneh-

bitter feeling between South and North.
The monument is beautiful, both in
conception and execution. and is said
to be one of the finest products of the
sculptor's art of the present day.
