W|FE'S LOVE, SUES
TEXAN FOR 100000
Charles Charters Follows
Divorce Proceedings With
Demand for Damages.

TRENTON, N. j., May 12.-The insti-
hutton in the supreme court of a suit
for 100000 for alleged alienation Of af-
fections has followed the sensational d.
vorce proceedings started by Charles
charters against his wife, Lillian Young
Charters, residents Of Palisades, N. j.
Mr. Charters alleges that his wifes af-
fections have been stolen by Thomas
J.. l.. Temple. a resident of Texas and
described as a wealthy bachelor.
The case is a remarkable one, and
the parties concerned are prominent.
Mr. and Mrs. Charters are practitioners
of Christian Science in New York, and
ARE known throughout the country by
the people Of that belief.
The original divorce proceedings al
heged infidelity, cruelty, and attempted
blackmail. These charges were denied
by Mrs. Charters, who, in turn, alleged
In a counter petition that her husband
tried to coerce her into collecting black
mail from Mr.. Temple for their mutual
benefit.
The declaration of the alienation suit,
hled by Alexander Simpson as counsel
for Charters, says that at Palisades,
Jersey City, Texarkana, Tex, and al
other places he had succeeded in chang
ing the wife toward the husband by
various arts. contrivances. influences
conversations. presents, gifts, nantes
tations of affections, and other subtle
and wicked devices
According to the husbands suit for a
divorce, Mr.. and Mrs. Charters were
married at San Antonio, Tex. by Dear
Richards in October, 1898. They went to
New York, and in April 1906, went to
Palisades. They remained there until
january of last year, when, 1t is charged
by the husband, the wife deserted him.

NEW YORK, May 12.-The definite

John Jacob Astor will be admitted to
probate on next Friday, or, on what
ever later date may be set for the pro-
ceedings IL an adjournment lis taken
without the will being submitted to
either Surrogate Fowler or Surrogate
Cohalan for examination as to its pro-
visions.
1t was also declared neither of the
surrogates has any official knowledge
as yet that the will has been filed. and
that there is no legal reason why the
will should not be admitted to probate
II the special guardians to be appoint
ed for the legatees ask that such action
be taken.
The statement was also made that II

in which all the heirs at law have been
cited to appear on the day set for pro-

These announcements were made in
reply to a report that Surrogate
Fowler might institute an inquiry OF
| his own to determine whether the
Astor Will ought to be admitted to
probate whether the legatees and
heirs at law ask him to do so or not
The basis for this rumor was the
lpainsta1ing manner in which, surro-
gate disposes of all Questions pre-
sented to him for a ruling which have
become necessary through lack OF
knowledge of executors and trustees
of their power in various cases or be-

The Empty Letter Box.

Every day for something over ten
years a little woman well past the
half milestone of life has visited
postoffice Station A, in Georgetown,
and unlocked the door of private
letterbox in which there is nothing
but dust and cobwebs. During all
this time not a single letter has
come for her. The other day she
paid the annual mailbox rent OF 81.
As she handed the money to the su-
perintendent, she said:

force terms of peace favorable to Italy, the definite
confirmation Of peace will now reveal how much was
due to that incentive.
At all events the most encouraging sign OF
eventual peace without further complications Is the
long continuance tof negotiations and the delay Of
actual ultinthfms, even though Turkey now has as
sunned the aggressive with ner summary demands
for Balkan apology. These people make war q
good deal easier than they make peace. And so Il
is nconcevable that both sides really want to fight
when, with something like 100000 men mobilized
within field gun range Of hostile territory, the situa
ton has not got beyond the diplomatic stage.

the destinies Of the Ottoman empire, they have al

EDISON, THE PROGRESSIVE.

No American among the millions of US all has
proved greatness and sureness of vision more than
Thomas A. Edison. His ability to see things in the
large is pure genius, and as such he holds place
of honor in the nation few men possess
What Edison says of the campaign and the can
ddates will fasen itself on the attention of the
people:
You can see I'd naturally be with the party which
nearest to going to the bottom Of things and
setting them right-the Progressive party and Roose-
welt. We've got to have big, strong honest man at
the head That man Is Roosevelt. | go the whole way
with him.
We can just forget the Republican party--and was
u Republican before / woke up. And all the Demo-
cfats offer Is honest application OF the old stuff We

the gap between work and pay government genera
tions behind industry, inventions everything
One of my main reasons is Theodore himself. II
we're putting to rights factory that's gone wasteful
and behind the times, try to learn the upto-date
method Of setting 1t right and then get the best
manager we hnd That's Roosevelt. We never
needed big leader more. We want strong, forceful
man with IDEAS He's all that He's proved it.
Edison sezes on the very heart of the question
before the people with swiftness and sureness. He
is one of half dozen immortas whose whole life ha.
been spent in aiding civilization and progress. His
support of the Progressves and their leader is as
stirring as it was inevitable.
