The object Of this suit is to procure
divorce vinculo matrimonli from
the defendant by the plaintiff. and to
procure the guardianship ind custody
by the plaintiff OF the infant child OF
the plaintiff and defendant, namely
Pauline Briddell.
The bill alleges that the plaintiff
and defendant were married on the
twenty-frst day Of August, 1920, and
that they resided in Berlin in Worces-
cester County, Maryland, until the
fifteenth day of June, 1921; that al
though the conduct of the plaintiff to-
wards the defendant has always been
kind, affectionate and above reproach,
the defendant has, without any just
cause or reason, abandoned and de-
serted her, and has declared his inten-
ton to live with her no longer, and
that such abandonment has continued
uninterruptedly Tor at least three
years, and is deliberate and final, and
the separation of the parties beyond
any reasonable expectation of recon
ciliation; that the plaintiff and defen-
dant had one child born to them, who
is now alive and is an infant, namely,
Pauline Briddell; and that the said
defendant, Joseph Briddell, is not a
resident of the State of Maryland,
but resides in the city of Philadelphia,
State Of Pennsylvania.
It is thereupon, this list day Of Oc-
tober, 1924, by the Circuit Court for
Worcester County, Maryland, sitting
in equity, ordered that the plaintiff,
by causing copy of this order to be
inserted in some newspaper published
in said Worcester County once in each
of four successive weeks before the
Sd day of November, 1924, give notice
to the said absent defendant of the
object and substance of this bill,
warning him to appear in this Court,
in person or by solicitor, on or before
the 18th day of November, 1924, to
show cause, if any he has, why de-
cree ought not to be passed as prayed.

United States from Mexico City,
where the labor leader had gone to
attend the Pan.American labor confer
ence. While there he was taken very
Ill and was being hurried to his home,

clans to prolong his life. His last
words were: God bless America"
His body was held in state in Wash
ington at American Federation of La
Dor headquarters, on the journey of
the funeral cortege from San Antonio
to New York, and then on to larry
town, where the burial took place in
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, within a
short distance Of the grave Of An
drew Carnegie. Near the Gompers
plot, which the labor leader bought
some time ago, lie the remains Of w.
M. Rockefeller, John D. Archbold and
Carl Schurz. Gompers was the first
member Of his family to be buried in
this plot. He was twice married and
had four children, one girl and three
boys.
