CUPID WAS TOO
 CROWDED THERE
YOUTHFUL COUPLE AIR THEIR TROUBLES IN \ LITTLE ROCK
 MAGISTRATES COURT.
Lived Together Two Days-Wifa Abandonment Was Changed
 to Husband Abandonment,

Little Rock, Aug. 29-Married by Key. J. N. Jessup on the evening of Aug. 9, and separated on the after noon of August 2 is the sordid TO- nance of Edna Scruggs, aged 19 years, and Ike Scruggs, of about the same age
 The families are poor, of the impro- vldent. hand-to-mouth type, residing III huts and houseboats along the riv- CT bank. They readily impress one with their incapacity for assuming thclr responsibilities of matrimony. For two days they lived at the cot tage of Mrs. Ware, mother of the bride. Then young Scruggs took his glrl-Wife to the houseboat where he and his father lived in one mean room.
 She would not stay. She and her fa'ner-in-law quarreled, and she went back to her mother. Then she had her husband arrested on a charge of Wife abandonment. At the trial it deve oped, instead, that it was a case of husband abandonment. She testi- fled herself that Ike had begged her to return with him, but she had told hln' She would not live with him until he got a home for her.
 His father offered him S200 to be- gin Housekeeping. but Ike said he would not rent a house until his wife agreed to live with him. Despite the efforts of learned counsel to make it appear case of wife abandonment. Justice Meissner dismissed the de- fendant.

UTILIZING FIRElMEN

Cincinnati is attracting the atten- tion of the country by it's efforts to utilize the wasted time of the men on it's fire department in way which will lessen the chances for fire in that city, says the Lansing, (Mich.) State Journal.
 Acting on the ground that firemen are usually capable, intelligent men, whose knowledge and training fits them to act as inspectors, it has de- vised system of dividing their time between their engine houses and in- specton work in the city.
 Tn an address delivered a short time ago, Mayor Hunt of Cincinnati declared that the plan had been highly satisfactory. He said ill part:
 Considerable time was devoted to tLe system of building inspection by fifemen, which was started on April 1, and the plan has been slowly ex- tended until now there are practical y ly 50 members of the department en- gagged in this work each week day. Since this method of making inspec- lions was started more than 5000 in- spections have been made, and with very few exception, there has been. no trouble in securing betterment of conditions by owners or occupants of buildings. !
 sThe world has come to realize that preventative medicine, with all the inspection and supervision that 1t implies. is the way to assure the health not only of cities. but of the nation as we'll It is the same with fire waste. The way to stop the 4noFmplas loss. is to pReyen {; fires; s RiSid Inspection by the fire de- rartmint would solve the problem of the il.diyidnal bHilding by eliminating the careless handling cf gasoline and J

MILL MEN FIGHT
 ONE FATTALY STABBED
K. E. BERRY, COMMISSARY MAN. AGER AT STROUD, ARk., WILL
 PROBABLY DIE.
ROOkkeeper Has Broken Ribs and There Has Been No Explana-
 tiOn of Bloody Affair.

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.-As the re-
 suit of a terrific personal encounter
 about 9 o'clock last night, T. J. Fow-
 Ter and R. P. Berry, brothers-in-law
 and prominent employees of the Oak Leam Lumber Company, are in a seri- uos condition, and it is believed Ber- ry cannot survive.
 The fight occurred in the commits sary of the company. which is located at the little town of Stroud, about 5 miles north of Philadelphia. Berry was armed with a scale weight and Fowler with a knife. There were no other persons in the building when the trouble started, but the scuffle at tracted w. B. Ayres, manager of the lumber company, and number of employees, who were outside the store. They rushed in and separated the men, both of whom were bloody from head to foot.
 Fowler was badly beaten about the head and is believed to have sustained two broken ribs. Berry is literally carved to pieces, and has abdominal wounds that it is believed will prove fatal. He is cut also about the face and neck. Fowler, it is thought, will recover. Dr. Williams of this city was summoned last night and spent several hours with the wounded men, returning to this city early this morn- ing.
 No explanation, so far, has been given of the affair. Berry was man. ager of the commissary and Fowler was his bookkeeper. They were re- garded as the most intimate of friends, and no disagreement of any kind had been reported between the men before. Berry had married Fow- lers sister.
 Both men stand high socially and in fraternal circles. Berry is a prom inent Elk, being a member of Arka- delphia Lodge, No. 49, B. P. o. E., and Fowler is a Mason of high standing it is said.

When the new pavements on West Barraque and West Pullen streets are opened to Bellwood and St. Joseph's cemeteries, the West Fifth avenue pavement is completed and the Main street pavement put down, and when the ladies of the City Beautiful Club finish their work of oiling Fifteenth avenue and Poplar street there will be few streets in Pine Bluff unpaved. Eventually there will not be an unpaved street in this city. Good street paving has had as much to do with the progress of Pine Bluff as anything else. Let's keep up the good work.

COUNTESS OF WARWICK LOST
Neither She Nor Chauffeur Knew
BrooklYn-Lecture Delayed.

The Countess OF Warwick spoke last
night before the Brooklyn Institute OF Arts
and Sciences at the Academy Of Music on
The People / Have Known" She had
been billed to speak on "The New Era in
the old World" This was a mistake, she
explained. She arrived half an hour late
and told the audience her delay was caused
nv a chauffeur The chauffeur did not
know where Brooklyn was. and she was
unable to aid him, as she had never been
there.
The first part of her lecture was devoted
10 a description of the late Queen Victoria
and her family and OF prominent men ana
women with whom she had come into social
relations. Then she discussed suffrage and
socialism.
Woman suffrage, she declared would
bring about the abolition OF child labor and
war. II would perhaps bring In an era In
which motherhood would be endowed and
child life taken under state protection.
She was a socialist, she explained, be-
cause she had looked about her and drawn
the logical conclusions from. her observa-
tIons. They had taught her the injustice
Of UNEQUAL social and financial conditions
and the necessity OF the cooperation OF all
men and women in the work of the world

Cn,elIn. architects. for plans for munich
raI building in Brooklyn The justice said
tSa+ while the ostensibe purpose of the
ennI,cation was to prevent waste Of the
a,tp money, the real purpose was to compel
the cItv to approve an oral contract which
p,rd 8 Coler made while he was borough
nras,dent of Brooklyn with Lord & Hew-
,",, architects, for a set of plans
THE court said Coier never was authorized
noake such contract. and, in fact, the
ssoard Of Estimate never authorized the
arsctIou U~ of a ss,SOO,OOO municipal building in
prookIvn. but merely appropriated SOo'ocC
% n'"C oOrnorste rs bonds to be applied toward the
erection OF the building.

Lawrence Mass March $50 great
was the rush Of mill operatives back TO the
looms and spindles this morning, after the
strike of nine weeks, that several depart
ments were unable TO accommodate more
than a small part of the operatives, and
thousands were Obliged 20 return to their
homes
There are still between 5000 and 1900
operatives holding out for increased wages
that will equal the advance offered by the
mills against which trouble has been de-
clared at an end. The strike is stll in
effect especially against the Everett, the
Arlington, the Pacific, the Lawrence Duck
and the Uswoco mills. At these mills about
one-half Of the total operating force ap-
peared ready for work. At the Pacific and
the Uswoco mills the number OF employ ss
was nearly two-thirds Of the normal force.
An early return to normal conditions in
most of the mills and in the city is prac-
tically certain. The last Of the military

REBUKES TALKING DINERS
Friendly Sons of st. Patrick
Arouse Their Presidents Anger.

Proverbial Irish love OF talking came
near breaking up the speechmaking part
of the annual dinner OF the Friendly Sons
OF St Patrick last night at the Hotel Astor,
where eight hundred members Of the order
met to honor their patron saint for the
12sth time in New York City. There was
no lack Of Irish oratory, but despite the
best efforts Of the speakers TO command at
tenton, the flow of rival oratory at the
tables was not quelled until President De-
lany rose in wrath and beat the table with
his gaveI. He called the diners selfish"
and added
"If you are too coarse TO take this re-
buff have nothing more TO say to you"
Before the formal speaking began, Car
dinal Farley. who wished TO retire early.
was introduced by Mr. Deany. The room
became hushed as he told the assembled
Irishmen OF the solidarity that bound their
race together and of his own RESPONSE
bilities in giving his attention 10 Catholics
Of no fewer than twenty-eight different
races In the diocese of New York.
The other speakers were Or. James j.
Guerin, Mayor OF Montreal. who spoke on
"The Day We Celebrate; Alfred J. Talley,
who described the beauty of Ireland ana
the history of the people Alexander +.
Rorke, who told Of 'Irishmen on the Paths
of Peace" and Joseph Rowan, who talked
about "Irishmen on the Paths Of War
Iudge Rosalsky was conspicuous in the
room lust before the speaking began, re-
ceiving apparently congratulatory hand
sbakes ON his recent narrow escape from
a bomb.
