his front door with cigar, to the

when he could talk without betraying
his amusement, do you know what

| Al Pine street, New York, when he re-
ceived the new agreement for his eli

ment, which holds under the New York
law, no matter what happens. The
marriage itself is sufficient considera-
ton to make it binding If this one is
not, then all ante-nuptial contracts are
void. 1t is the same sort of an agree
ment which all rich men make when
their daughters marry foreigners.
And the father cannot now abrogate
it by will or in any other way. If it

I'VE expect Mr.. Schweizer to try to

we will win and then Mr.. Schwei-

Did MARRIAGE
DRIVE THIS man
To HARD Drink!

Atlanta, Sept. 25.-The "inalien-
able right" of a husband to go on an
occasional spree is attacked by Mrs.
Clara Johnson in divorce petition fill
ed today. She does not allege that her
husband is a habitual drunkard, but
declares that he goes on spree at in
tervals. Between times he remains
sober.
An unusual feature of the petition IS
the statement that Johnson acquired
the drinking habit after he was mar
ried, in the summer of 1911. Mrs.
Johnson says that when her husband
paid her court he was man of exem-
plary habits, and that the taste for
strong drink only took hold on him
after the honeymoon had waned.

LOVE PROMPTED
YOUNG WOMAN
TO TAKE HER LIFE
TOOK POISON WHILE ON TRAIN
Wrote a Brief Note ASCPibiDQ
Cause

The tragic death of Mrs. o. G. Col
den, of Doerun, is deplored among
many friends of the deceased in Ameri-
Gus who were shocked at the details
as related here yesterday. Mrs Gold
en- took her life while on board a tram
returning to her home from a visit in
Albany. In note, pinned to her dress,
she assigned the cause of her rash act
in the one line: Il died for love"
Mrs. Golden was a young woman Of
prepossessing appearance, and was
very generally esteemed among many
friends.
In note to Moultrie paper the
young woman does not say for whom
her love was; whether for the husband,
her children or other loved ones; but
love. The text of her note, which was
probably the last line her hand ever
indicted, follows:
"In writing the story of my suicide,
please add that l died for love. Ell
closed herewith find so cents for pub
fishing same (signed) Mrs. o. G.
Golden"
The not was written before the uu.
happy woman left Albany and was
mailed by her on the train, as it bore
the train postmark. In some manner
it failed to reach the party to whom it
was addressed until next day. The
amount named, so cents, was enclosed
in one-cent postage stamps, carefully
wrapped. The writing corresponds
with that found pinned to her dress
when her dead body was discovered N
the lavatory of the train.
The writing was firm and even and
gave no indication that it emanated
from oisordered brain that was soon
to be cold in the embrace of death.
The story of her hopes, her aspira-
tions, her dsappointments; of what
she would have her life be, will never
be told, except in the little note that
save that shown on the envelope con-
tanning it.

Atlanta, Sept 25.-That white slav-

John L. Denton, accused of paying the
transportation of two girls into Ala

that he was re-arrested on a kidnap-
ping charge, but that is entirely a
different proposition.
Though Denton denies the whole
story, the girls mother insists that he
did entice the girls to Birmingham, pay
ing her railroad fare and keeping her
after she reached that city. The au-
thorities here took the view that while
if this was true, 1t might be possible
to convict Denton on regular statutory
grounds, there was nothing to indicate
that he had the slightest intention IT
trying to commercialize the presence
of the girl in Birmingham or benefit in
any material way from her supposed
activities
