 Gossip of Two Mutes

Boston, May 3-George B. Tripp, a wool sorter of Salem, N. H., told Judge George of the Suffolk County Probate Court yesterday, by means Of the deaf and dumb language, that he had to cook some of his meals, while
 his wife, Mrs. Ella T. Tripp, also a
 mute, assisted in getting others.
 Mrs. Tripp sought separate support from him, claiming that he had be- come infatuated with Miss Russell of Lowell and had left his home and her.
 After a long session in which many signs were made by the witnesses through an interpreter, Judge George decided that Mrs. Tripp was living apart for justifiable cause and was entitled to $5 a week and S10 coun- sel fees.
 When asked concerning Miss Rus sell, MT. Tripp, who appears to be of robust physique and about 55 years Of age, declared that she had come into their home in Boston to make things easier for his wife but that the latter had ordered her out of the home, some time later. The woman being penniless and with no place to
 go, MT. Tripp said he had remon- strated. He admitted that he is now working in Lawrence and earning about SIS a week. He had seen Miss
 Russell quite frequently on Sundays
 when he visited mutual friends in l Lowell.

 said. He denied anything more thar
