The correspondent named in the
suit was Martha Harrison, also
known as Bungalow" although the
names OF other women cropped up in
the evidence. Mrs. Hopkins also
said in her complaint that the de-
fendant was cruel and habitually un-
der the influence Of liquor. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hopkins were married at West
Point, Miss, on May IS, 1881. They
have one son, Russell e. Hopkins,
who won some reputation by his
fondness for taking out every kind
of insurance, for keeping wild beasts
Gagged in the back yard Of his home
at lrvington, and because he eloped
with and married Vera Siegrist the
Lawrence. A girl baby was born to
the young couple in 1902, and DR..
Lawrence put $1,000,000 into trust
for her. Two years later he gave
young Mrs. Hopkins his home at
1850 Fifth avenue
Ref rec Arnold says in his report
that Dr.. Hopkins and his wife lived
happily until about seven years ago.
The defendant prospered in his bust
ness Of loan broker, and with pros
perity came desires that outpaced the
income and led finally to reckless cX-
trayagance. Money troubles came
and then came quarrels until Mrs
Hopkins left home.
The defendant" says the referee,
'began to drink. and then to lead a
dissolute life, and the evidence
clearly shows that in the last year he
SO far forgot his honor as to enter
tain lewd women in the home where
he had lived IN honorable relation
with his wife dnd SON."
One OF the women referred to tes-
tilted as to her association with Dr..
Hopkins and detailed the events
connected Herewith with willing
paWicularity." The referee SAYS:

Columbia, April 12.-For the first

cases:
State VS.. r. S. Bowman, Charles

THE HOPKINS DIVORCE SUIT.
Eccentric Wealthy Athantan Must
Pay Alimony of $4,000 Year.

There are many who will recall
the fact that last year Dr.. Hopkins,
of Atlanta, appeared in Seneca, put
ting up at the Oconee Inn. For a
time he was "the man Of mystery" to
the public, and it was later learned
that he was endeavoring to elude
certain newspaper men, detectives
and process servers. 1t later devel-
oped that he was lodging suit in
stituted by his wife for divorce
With these facts Of a local nature at
hand, the following dispatch from
New York will be Of interest:
Divorce Suit Settled.
New York, April 9.-Referee VIM.
G.. Arnold, who heard the evidence
in the action for divorce brought
against DR.. John Randolph Hopkins,
will report to the Supreme Court in
favor Of the paintiff and recommend
that alimOny be fixed at $4,000 a
year. The report bears heavily
against DR.. Hopkins, who is accused
of immortality and other excesses, and
against Mrs. Hopkins, who is accused
of great extravaganza.
When the suit became public on
December %, last, word came from
Atlanta, Ga, where the defendant
lives, that he would not contest the
action, but would fight against
large alimnny. Or. Hopkins is rich
and odd in his manners and habit OF
living. He Is known throughout the
South, largely because Of the wide
social connections of his wife and be-
cause Of his habit Of keeping his
home in Atlanta lighted throughout
the night This home is kept up as
show plaIe, and the referee ap-
praised it's value at $4,000.

1T is hard to understand how a
man, enjoying a good reputation in
the community in which he resides
could have committed the acts al
legged under the circumstances shown
to have existed in this case, yet the
testimony is so clear and uncontro-
verted as to leave no doubt in any
reasonable mind"
DR.. Hopkins, while making no ef-
fort to refute any of the testimony,
sought to excuse his conduct by say
ing that his wife's treatment and ey-
travagance forced him into such a
condition of mind as to render him
unmindful in his acts"
Taking up the question of alimony
the referee found that Or. Hopkins
was worth S211,27O, and that his in
come for 1914 was $4,8S2. But his
income for the six preceding years
ran as high as $4,000 a year and
was never less than $4,000. Ex-
planning the sudden drop in defend
ants income the referee says:
The business Of the defendant is
that Of a loan broker. and a business
OF that character has been unpopu-
lar OF late years, and has been great
~ impaired by public opinion and
governmental restrictions. This, to
say nothing Of the past years finan-
cial depression. would undoubtedly

was unfit when she began her last
cruise, said to-day:
IF there was anything wrong
with the F-4 no one except her Off

A new motor, he said. recently was
installed in the F-4 because Of an ac-

explosion aboard the submarine was
no fault of the apparatus, according
to Lieut.. Smith, who said that when
the vessel was blowing out and
charging simultaneously, a screw
driver caused a short circuit, occas-
ioning an explosion of hydrogen gas.

Belqian Hedges.

In Belgium there are no stone or hawthorn hedges like those in England Instead of being inclosed by a hedge the fields are raised np by fairly high earth banks and the roads are cut out of them. as it were. so that when you are walking in the country you are down in d sort of valley with low green banks on either side of yOn.
 The things that are chiefly cultivated in Belgium are the beet root for mak ing the cheaper kind of sugar, you know-and you can see field upon field of their red.green leaves stretching on either side of you as you walk along. Flax is also much grown over there. and in summer time the fields are d pretty sight when the pale blue flax blossoms are out in full bloom. Bel gian asparagus Is also renowned all over Europe. It has white instead of purple green tips.-London Mail.

THE MAN WHO LAUGHS.
The Reason lie Does So From the
 Physical Point of View.


 Laughter is an involuntary response of certain muscles to communication from nerves controlling their action. We laugh because We receive an i'm pression through our sensory nerves that causes Il demonstration from the muscles which express mirth. The vigOr or heartiness of laughter depends upon the susceptibility of the brain to what is received through the senSory nerves.
 They get the impression in three ways--from something we see, feel or hear-and send it along to the nerve center. From there it is sent along other nerves connected with certain muscles or glands and excites them to activity.
 The nerves are like so many electric wires, and the sensory nerves act as a battery, by means of which the cleo. tric currents of life are transmitted. The muscles have the power to ex- press the state of gladness, indicated by laughter, according to the positive ness of the impressions passed along the nerves which operate them. You laugh less heartily the second time you hear d funny story because the impression is less positive. = Rocky Mountain News.

Don't Be Hasty In Judging by 1t, Lest
 You Be Deceived.
 Bret Harte wrote in one of his stories that you couldn't judge anything by the appearance of his characters. The big gest scamp had Raphael face. the bravest man in camp was the smallest, the surest shot had but three fingers and the best dressed was the worst gambler in the state.
 The same rule often works out in real life. Nobody wrote more dry phil osophical books than Engand's prize philosopher. Francis Bacon. But one day while i'll and without consulting any works of reference he dictated volume of jokes which is still the best collection to be found in London.
 When Stephen Crane wrote his Red Badge of Courage old soldiers thought the author must have gone through the war. Just out of college. Crane had scarcely ever heard.a gun fired. and he was not born until years after Appo- nattox.

A Book That Wasn't Published.

A singular plan for honoring heroes was proposed in 1882, if we may credit the following footnote to La Typo graphic" a poem by Le Pelletier, pub lished in that year at Geneva: "In Feb ruary last several newspapers an nounccd that the largest book ever printed will shortly appear in London under the titie "The Pantheon of Eng. fish Heroes" The pages of this book will be twelve feet long and two feet wide and the letters six inches high. It has been found necessary to erect spe cial machinery for the manufacture of the paper required. This gigantic work will be printed by steam in characters of gold. no ordinary printing ink being used in the process. Only hundred copies will he issued and these will serve to adOrn the principal libraries in England" You will not find that book ill any public or private library
