FRIENDS SHOW NO SURPRISE.

Wolcott Divorce Proceedings Have Been Looked For. The friends and acquaintances in Washington of Senator ami Mrs, Edward O. Wolcott are apparently not surprised at the news that they have arranged for the bringing of a suit for divorce. Since their marriage nine years ago the Wolcotts have been prominent socially, and those who know them intimately were aware that they were living on anything but amicable terms. There is the highest authority for the statement that no charges except incompatibility of temper.and desertion are contemplated or justified. The suit will be brought in Colorado and Senator Wolcott will make no defense.
