the foreigner knows little Of America
but that which he finds in the street.
These signs which hc sees while On his

with which foreigners are much more

better than we liked ours because We

GRAN TED A DIVORCE
Mary A. Powell, Who Killed Bessie
Albin, Given Legal Separation
From Her Husband.

When the divorce case of Mary A.
Powell VS.. Alfred NJ Powell was called
yesterday in the Court Of General Ses-
sions there was nothing to attract the
attention of the spectators and attend
ants beyond the evident fact that the
plaintiff was well advanced in years,
and the remoteness of the date of the
marriage sought to be annuled, which
was contracted on January 6, 1897. 1t
was not until after the case had been
heard and Judges Boyce and Rice had
gone into conference on the verdict to
be rendered that it began to be buzz d

had lived there at various periods dur

supposed to be his wife and who vas

A decree nisi was granted and q rule
issued requiring Powell to show cause why
he should not divide his property both
real and personal with the plaintiff. 1t
is alleged that he was without means
before his marriage and that he has
