SUES FOR A DIVORCE BUT
 FINDS SHE IS TOO LATI

At Fairbanks, on November 10, 1906, couple were married and the next day the newspapers published a notice that MT. and Mrs. Armstrong would shortly be at their home to their friends. The Juneau Empire tells the rest of the story as follows:
 Later MT. and Mrs. Armstrong came to Juneau and took up their residence here. In June, 1912, around about the first of the month, Mir. Armstrong according to his wife dis appeared. Later Mrs. Armstrong sued in the local court for divorce, her complaint charging that she had been deserted.
 Today J. G. Held, attorney for Mrs. Armstrong, secured the granting of the dismissal of the case. It appears that MT. Armstrong after leaving Ju- neau, returned to Fairbanks. He later applied for divorce there and secured it. Several days ago he ar rived in Juneau and gave information of what he had. done and the case of his former wife was dismissed. Mrs. Armstrong is now in Seattle.

 Miss Addams told tn. Senate Con- mitte that in Germany she had found h strong movement know as the Anti Annexation Society. which wanted Germany to pledge itself to give up Belgium and all conquered territory at the close of the war. In England, she said, there was a strong move ment for peace.
 Miss Addams said that Holland, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark had assured her they would participate in a peace conference if assured that the United States would participate.
 Besides Miss Addams, Miss So- phronisba Breckinridge of Chicago, Mrs. Crystal Eastman Benedict, Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead, and Miss Zona Gale addressed the committees.
 In thanking the, visiting delegation for their addresses Chairman Stone of the. Senate :Committe referred to Senator Williams of Mississippi, who was beside him, as a great peace man.
 "Yes," said MT. Williams, "I am for peace. Especially I don't want any one to pick row with me. When I hear ladies talking for peace ] am always reminded of an. old Confed- crate soldier to whom expressed my wonder that the Confederates should have fought on after defeat was cer-- tain. "Well John," he said, "I should have liked to go home myself. But we were afraid to. We were afraid of the women." For the gentlest woman when aroused is fiendish thing. And when I say I am for peace I do not mean that there are not certain things for which I would not fight. For I do not wish to lose the respect of my wife and daughter. I should take arms when the quarrel reached a certain point, for I should not wish my wife to divorce me or to be dis owned by my daughter.".

ART WORK IN WOOD.
A Striking Cameo Effect and How is
 Was Produced.


 Il saw a new thing in the art line the other day which surprised me and, may also say, pleased me-" said an art resort dilettante in a group of kindred spirits Tt was what the artist called d wood cameo. and it was something l had never seen before.
 That it was 'wood did not appear as it hung on the wall. and l asked him for particulars. 1t was about foot square with an oval center. containing u bas-relief of d Creek goddess. The square was in ebony and mahogany and the head in white wood. He had secured his cameo effects by first building up his square with the three layers. glued and pressed so tightly that there were no marks of cleavage, and had cut through them exactly as cameo carvers cut through the usual shell cameos. The ebony front was plain. but finely polished. and the entire effect was excellent.
 "He told me it wns his first finished work. though he had been practicing for two years. and. while he was not entirely satisfied with 1t, there was considerable consolation to him in the fact that he had an offer of $1OO when. ever he wanted to dispose of it."- New York Sun.

Famous Abductions.

Marriage by abduction was by no means uncommon ill the early ages. The daughter of the king of Argus was abducted by Phoenician. The Greeks carried off Europa from Tyre and Medea from Colchis.
 Next to the abduction of the fair Helen. perhaps the most remarkable in it's political consequences was the king of I.einster's taking away of the wife of neighboring petty sovereign. O'RourEe of Breffni.
 The king of Connaught avenged the insult and drove from the throne his brother of Leinster. who appealed to Henry II. of England for aid to recov- CT his lost sovereignty. The Norman conquest of Ireland followed. with cen turies of war and devastation.

BAYS EUROPE LOOKS
 TO AMERICA FOR PEACE.

WASHINGTON: Miss Jane Addams of Chicago, heading a delegation of pacifists, told the Senate committee on Foreign Relations and the House of Foreign Affaire Committee today that all the belligerent countries of Europe want somebody to show them the way to peace and at the same time let them save. their faces. And she pleaded with the committeee to en- list the strength of the United States to help end the war.
 Near the close of the hearing be- fore the House of Committees Miss Addams was asked by Representative cooper of Wisconsin as to the truth of reports that the women paciasts travelling in Europe had been received in the spirit of ridicule, or with po- lite and indifferent tolerance.
 'These reports were not true," said Miss Addams. ;''The people in this country do not realize that the people in Europe are walking hand in hand with death and destruction, that t1ere has, been death and grief in practi- cally every. family, and that the masses in every country. want peace. We were received with solemnity and respect eyerywhere...
 "The Pope expressed his surprise that the women had taken so long a time to raise their voices in protest against this great struggle. The Ger man Chancellor, who had only re- gently lost a son and upon whose shoulders rested such burdens as sell dom come to any man, listened to our suggestions most earnestly"
 Miss Addams said she found in Europe dissatisfaction among the people of all nations embroiled in the present struggle. - The. representatives of the Wo- mans Peace Party appeared in sup port of legislation committing this nation to a movement to take the initiative movement in peace plans. At the, conclusions of. the hearings Carol Livingston Riker of New York said he would! ask subsequent hearing; on the: Lane-shallenherger resolution to create a commission of five Americans including President Taft and William Jennings Bryan, to visit Europe and ald in the peace movement.

Fast Assessment Work.

E. R. Peoples, merchant of Fair banks, accomplished some fast work in doing assessment work on min ing claim in which he is interested, just before the ground would have re- verted to the government. The ground in question is the celebrated California claim on Goldstream, from which a vast fortune has been taken. The ground had become involved in litigation and none of those interest ed would stand the expense of repre- senting the claim. At the last min ute Peoples learned of the situation and hired every available man in the district and accomplished the annual work required in less than a day. He paid the miners $1 an hour.

THE MAMERTINE PRISON.
Where King Jugurtha and St. Paul
 Were Immurcd.

Where King Jugurtha and St. Paul
 Were Immured.
 The reputed place of St. Paul's long Imprisonment. the Forum, is the center of the noblcst ruin Of Rome. Not far from the center of the busy. noisy. modern city rise the scared ruins of her ancient glory. Here are the temple of Saturn, with it's eight columns; the often copied three columns of the temple of Castor and P0lluX, the arch of Septimius Sevcrus, the temples of Vesta and Caesar and many other fa- nous ruins. and beyond are the pal. aces of the Caesars. Not far away is the magnificent column of Trajan, 147 feet in height. around which run re- liefs of the emperOr's wars. containing. 1t is said. over 2.5OO sculptured human figures.
 Close to the entrance to the Forum. this most wonderful collection of the ruined monuments of ancient times, is small church called the Church of St. Giuseppi dei Falegnani. Under this church are two dungeons. an upper and a lower, called the Mamertine prison. and from hole ill the upper chamber prisoners were lowered into the moi some hole below, sometimes to perish miserably of starvation, as did Jugur. tha. king of Numidia, with whom schoolboys become so familiar in their first year of Latin.
 In this dungeon. uncOunted thousands of Christians believe, St. Paul and St. Peter were immured. and every year on the night of the 4th of July repre- sentatives of all the churches of Rome assemble by torchlight and "in solemn silence kneel in front of the tradition al pillar"-Christian Herald.

Mr.. d'Nazarie Addresses Meeting.

Mr.. Julian d'Nazarie of this city,
addressed a packed meeting at the
school house in Bostwick last Sun
day afternoon on the subject of tenn
perance.
Mr.. d'Nazarie was accompanied on
the trip by Messrs. w. G. Tilghman
and f. M. Earnest of this city, and
County Clerk Henry Hutchinson.
Mr.. 'dNazarie took charge of the
meeting after several songs had been
given out by Mr.. Tilghman, which
were sung by the congregation, Mr.
Tilghman leading.
Mr.. d'Nazarie's address was clear
cut one in which he stated that he was
not out in the interests of any politi
cal candidate, but simply to bring a
of right living; he had been
addicted to liquor drinking in the past,
but had now entered upon life of to-
tai abstinance from drink, course he
hoped to persuade many others to fol
low. Mr.. d'Nazarie showed the evils
of drink and the utter foolishness o.
the habit in calm, dispassionate talk
filled with interest; he also declared
himself to be in favor of prohibiting
the beverage sale of it. The meeting
was interesting and profitable.

Tea Chewers of Siam,

Chewing tea comes from Siam." said
a traveller. "They call it mieng. 1t is
in plug like chewing tobacco, and 1t
has villainous smell This smell is
due to the fermentation it has under
gone. The tea that the Siamese en-
ploy for chewing purposes is a very
coarse, rank plant 1t is gathered like
ordinary tea, but the leaves after being
compressed into plugs are buried for
fifteen days. They ferment during
burial. On their resurrection they are
very, very fragrant indeed. The Sia-
mese boatmen chew tea. The rickshaw
men chew it. The litterateurs chew 1t.
They say it makes them work better.
This is probably the truth, for l chew
ed plug myself in Anam, and 1t ex-
hilarated me strangely. But the after
math was bad-a headache, smarting
eyes and nervous depression"

Big Show Scores a Hit.

Last night the Howell theater was
filled to capacity with an audience
that came prepared to enjoy an "Ev-
ening on Coney Island" a show given
under the auspices of the Woman's
Club Of Palatka, and capably directed
by Mrs. Carolyn Elinor Staley. There
were so many admirable and mirth-
provoking features that space forbids
elaborate comment; however, we must
speak of at least few that were note
worthy. Especially artistic were the
japanese and swing-song scenes. The
babyland chorus of seventy-five little
girls was delightful. The natural
eraces of childhood, always appeal;
the musical numbers were well given.
The costumes were beautiful and the
dancing graceful. The comedy, "The
Hicks Family from Skeeterville, Ark
ansas." was a riot from start to fin
ish. Mrs. Helen Kalbficld, assisted by
the boys chorus, made a big hit, To-
cally and otherwise. If you haven't
already seen this show, YOU have one
more chance tonight. "Meet me at

Sheriff Kennerly received word
from the State Asylum yeaterday to
the effect that Mr.. J. A. McCaskell,
formerly a prominent orange grower
of Denver, this county, and for some
months an inmate of the hospital, was
very low and his death momentarily
expected. Mr.. Kennerly was asked
to communicate with members of his
family and learn what disposition to
make of the body in event of death.
Mr.. A. X. McCaskell of Drayton Is
land was notified and he arrived in
the city yesterday morning. Nothing
further had been heard from the asy-
lum up to noon yesterday, but the
telegram of Wednesday indicated that
there was little hope. Mr.. McCas-
kell, who was one of the best known
and best liked men on the peninsular,
has been in failing health for more
than a year. His friends will learn
of his condition with much sorrow.

voice could be plainly heard over the
building and her audience lost not a
word. The flag drill given by twelve

Knew Just How.

Many years ago in Paris, at the first
presentation of tragedy that had for
its closing scene the murder of Swed-
ish king which had taken place nearly
half century earlier. all went well
till the murder scene came on. when a
very dignified old gentleman in the
stage box called out angrily:
Absurd! They've got it all wrong"
The manager himself heard this plain
spoken comment. and, being naturally
disturbed by so sweeping condemna-
ton, he sought out the critic and po-
litely begged to know what fault he
had to find with it.
why. my good SIR cried the old
man, with an air of authority. the
whole grouping of the scene is incor-
rect! You have made them kill the
king to the right of the door, whereas
we murdered him on the left!'

At One Time to Sneeze Was Regarded

Sneezing from very remote times has

Our forefathers went to bed again
if they sneczed while putting on their
shoes. A sneeZe to the right was
deemed lucky: to the left, of evil por-
tent. To sneeze near burial place
was very unlucky..
Tradition has it that sneezing was at
first fatal sign-every human being
sneezed but once and then died-but
Jacob petitioned the Creator to re-
move the snceZing ban and succeeded
Thence arose the once universal Gus
tom of saluting Il sneezer with God

The custom still obtains in some parts
Of Europe.
In England not only was q sneezer
blessed. but friends raised their hats
to him as well. In an old book. "The
Code of Conduct" it is directed that
"if his lordship sneezes ye are not to
bawl out. God bless you" but bow to
him handsomely" All over the world
the sneeze was recognized. Whole ma
tions were under orders to make ex-
carnations when their king sneeZed.
Sneezing was believed to be sure
cure for hiccough and was also looked
upon as n sign of sanity. If ancient
and universal belief goes for anything
it is good to sneeze. - London Tele-
