CONTESTED DIVORCE.
Mrs. Alice Sevieny Accuses Husband
 of Cruelty.

The contested divorce case of Alice Sevigny against Dona Sevigny was finished Friday. The wifes charge against her husband was habitual in- toxication and intolerable cruelty. At torneys W. A. King and P. J. Dana hey, counsel for the husband. con tended Mrs. Sevigny had not support ed either of these charges within the meaning of the law and that the real bone of contention was Mrs Sevigny's desire to have her husband make her half owner in his home property. Mrs. Sevigny claimed she had earned a substantial amount of the money that went into the home by dress making and her father and sisters supported her testimony that MT. Se- yigny was a drinking man and was often intoxicated. Lawyer s. B. liar vey, counsel for Mrs. Sevigny, intro duced criminal papers showing the husband had been charged with theft, to impeach his veracity. The wife's attorney contended that MT. Sevigny's contest in this case was inspired by his desire to hold on to all his property. During the evidence by the husband Judge Shumway reserved his decision.

FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
ATHLETIC LEAGUE INDi-
VIDUAl BADGES.

The physical supervisor who visited
the Belleville School last Friday gave
the final tests for the individual
badges. To compete for these badges
a pupil must have a record for Excel
lent" or Satisfactory" in conduct and
in lessons for the entire session, Octo-
Der through June, and this year the
requirements were made difficult in
the events; thus in all up relay, for a
gold badge, three trips were to be in
"a seconds, for bronze in 2S seconds;
in goal-throwing nine goals were to be
the minimum for gold, five for bronze;
and in running the % yards were to be
taken in "a seconds for gold, in "a As
seconds for bronze.
1t is creditable that seventy-one
girls qualified, under these severe
standards, for bronze badges and three
for gold. Six pupils were not tested
because of being excused or of being
absent. When they take their test at
the Behrman or the Wilson Gymnasium
the chances are the grand total will
be eighty badges, the largest yet won
in one session by the school.
