First St. Louis Divorce
Suit Comes to Light

st. Louis.-Records of the first
divorce in st. Louis-on March Z,
17S5-has been brought to light
through examination of old papers
of the BenOist and Charleville fam
lilies loaned to the Missouri His
torical society.
The act of separation recorded
was entered into ''by Joseph Ven
don and Arianne Richellet, his
wife," before Francisco De Graut,
commandant of ST. Louis and lieu
tenant governor "of the western
part of Illinois,"
After many years. according to
the document, the couple found
themselves not "congenially mated, "
and wishing to make an end of
their disunion" jointly decided "of
their own free will" to separate.
Apparently there was no such
thing as alimony, for Vendon re
served for himself 'his rifle, his
bed, his clothing"

CAGLI0STRO Died.
IN PAPAL PRISON
Italian Writer Refutes
Tales of Notorious I'M
posters Escape.

Rome.-Plays and books have
been written about Cagliostro, the
arch impOstOr from Palermo, whose
real name was Giuseppe BalsamO,
and tales have been woven about
his reported escape from the prison
of San Leo of MOntefeltro.
An Italian writer, Luigi Rusti-
cucci, has written an interesting
book based on material taken from
the archives of Pesaro and the
prison. These researches have
thrown light on the last four and
a half years Of the charlatan's life.
Cagliostro, having duped half the
world by his magic and by posing
moral regeneration, was publicly eX-
posed. Catherine Of Russia's Scot
tish physician pronounced his cele-
brated Spagiric food as unfit for
dogs, and in Paris Cagliostro was
thrown into the Bastile after he had
become involved in the affair of
the necklace. Finally, after long
wanderings, he was arrested in the
Papal states and brought before the
Tribunal of the Holy office. He was
sentenced to death, but this was
cOmmuted to life Imprisonment by
Pope Plus VI.
Entered Prison in 1890.
Cagliostro was taken to the fort
ress at San Leo of Montefeltro and
began his term of Imprisonment on
April 81, 1890.
So great was his fame as an
Egyptian Free Mason that he was
considered capable of evading i'm
prisonment by magic means. For
this reason he was watched day
and night, and his efforts to escape
proved fruitless. His failure to get
free depressed him, and at times
he became unconscious. He felt
that his powers were waning, as
previously he had been able to es-
cape from almost equally difficult
situations. He found that he could
no longer dupe those around him.
Early in 1892 his mental faculties
weakened. He had fits of depres-
sion, alternating with outbursts of
rage, during which he would rave
and call on the spirits of the dead
to release him. Sometimes he
would fall, as if he were dead. His
jailers had a simple and efficacious
way of ascertaining whether he was
feigning death. This consisted of
applying a red-hot coal to the soles
of his feet.
Succumbed to Stroke.
On August %, 1895, he had a
stroke of apoplexy which affected
his entire left side. Three days
later he had a second stroke, which
was fatal. When they applied the
red-hot coal Cagliostro did not
move. He was fifty-two years old
and had been in prison four years,
four months and five days.
Rusticucci includes in this vol
ume many documents relating to
CagliostrO's detention in this fort
ress. The governor of the prison
sent reports about the prisoner to
the cardinal secretary of state.
When Cagliostro died a death GER
tificate was issued by the governor
and sent to the papal legate at
PeSaro.

MAIL EXTENDED TO BEACH
All Cottages at Slaughter Beach
to Have Delivery in September

All Cottages at Slaughter Beach
to Have Delivery in September
Postmaster William r. Murphy
has succeeded in securing author
ization from the government for
the extension of the rural route
serving Slaughter Beach so that
every cottage will be served in the
future. The authorization came
after the postmaster had recon-
mended that the route be extend
ed for the summer months each
year. The order issued by the
postoffice department states that
the service will be inaugurated on
September 1, but before the cot
livery must place the proper regu-
lation rural mail box at a conVen-
lent place along the road at their
cottage. The service will start on
June / of each year and will be
continued until September 80. The
new extension provides for mail
the entire length of the beach and
every cottage now erected will be
served; provided the owners erect
tn necessary mail boxes to receive
their mail. This has been much
desired for several years, but no
concerted effort to secure the ex-
tension was made until about two
weeks ago when petitions were
sent to Postmaster Murphy, who
Immediately recommended that
the route be heightened to take
care of the summer colony.

New Proof of Biblical
Flood Found in Kish

London.-Prof. S. III. Langdon,
the Oxford archeologist, has re-
turned from a seven years inyes-
tigation in Mesopotamia to an
nounce discovery of absolute evil
dence of the biblical flood in the
Kish region.
He also announced that his ex-
pedition had unearthed at Kish, a
Sumerian capital which, in the time
of Nebuchadnezzar, was five miles
long and eight miles wide, and ex-
listed for 1900 years. The expedi-
tion found many long-headed types
of skulls among the early Sumo
rians which Professor Langdon
said, Indicate the Semites arrived
among the Sumerians of Mesopo-
tamia so early they were almost on
a level with the SumerianS."
Therefore, the SemiteS easily
are the oldest race in the world to-
day because the Sumerians van
ished utterly at the end of the third
millennium" he said.
There can be no doubt of evil
dence of the great flood" he con-
tinued. This stratum which can be
seen quite clearly at Kish is sedi-
ment precipitated in still water and
is one and one-half feet thick. The
story of the escape from the ark
comes from this part of the coun-
try (Kish) as well as from other
regions. There is evidence of
inundation at stretches about 100
miles apart along the Euphrates
river and more than ten miles In
land on either bank. However,
there is no evidence the country
further removed from the river was
flooded"

Atwater Kent Foundation
Announces Fourth Addition

HE Fourth National Radio Addition,
offering cash awards Of $4,000 TO
young amateur singers of the United
States, is announced by the Atwater
Kent Foundation of Philadelphia. The
addition in 1880 will follow the lines of
the competition inaugurated in 1927
and repeated in 1928-29.
Tens Of thousands of boys and girls
took part in the previous contests. Pre-
hminary inquiries from both singers
ana patrons of music indicate that
other thousands are already anxious TO
participate this year The awards (the
same as last year, will be:
Winners Of FIRST place Zone boy and one
glrn. $4,000 each and two years tuition in
an american conservatory, or its equivalent;
winners OF second place, $4,000 each and
one years tuition.
winners OF third place, $4,000 each and
Winners Of fourth place, $1,000 each and
one years tuition.
Winners OF fifth place, $1,000 each and
one years tuition.
THE more consider the results OF
the three previous additions" said Mr.
Kent IN announcing that another con-
test would be held, "the more I am con-
vinced that those who strive earnestly
IN the earlier stages gain very real ben
efltS, even as those do whose efforts
carry them into the national finals.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the
ndation-certainly the one in which
l take the greatest pride-is that the
radio additions have awakened a sense
of musical ability among thousands of
young people in America
The contest, open to amateurs be-
tween l8 and %, will begin with the
holding of local additions in cities and
towns throughout the country. Con-
Quoted on the principle of elimination,
1t will progress through local, State and
district stages to national finals. The
district or Seni-final additions, of
which there will be five, representing as
many geographical divisions, into which
the country as a whole will be divided,
will each qualify one boy and one girl
ten IN all-who viii sing in grand finals
IN New York over coast-to-coast net
work of stations
The national finals will be Judged
solely by board of musical authori-
ties. In the State and district audi
tons the merits of the singers will be
determined jointly by board of judges
and the votes of radio listeners. All
expenses of contestants to the district
and final additions will be borne by the
AtWater Kent Foundation.
