The rain record of the early part of the season has been discontinued and the result is that these moonlight nights are Just the time for country rides. Porch parties are in vogue and mint lemonade with cookies or cakes form a feature of the refreshments. With the lemonade served in a crystal pitch er a pretty effect is gained with a slice of orange astride the rim or with a cluster of berries hanging on to its edge. One girl made a clover chain and draped her lemonade pitcher and gathered clover corsage bouquets and

WILCOX FROM CHURCH ROLL More Trouble Follows Former Pastor of a Church in This City. HIS MARRIAGE IS CAUSE HASTE IN AGAIN SEEKING MATRI MONY AFTER SECURING Dl VORCE WAS A VIOLATION OF CHURCH LAWS. Because of his hasty marriage fol lowing his divorce from Mrs. Elsie Wilcox of this city, the Rev. C. B. Wilcox, formerly of Decatur, Ind., and at one time a pastor in this city has been dropped from the Methodist church rolls. When a pastor in this city the Rev. Mr. Wilcox was connected with the Fifth Street M. E. church. At that time he was popular in the city and well liked by his parishoners. Following their marital troubles, while the minister was located at Decatur, his wife removed to this city and makes her home with a relative. Only a short time ago, this paper contained an account of the remarriage of Mr. Wilcox. He now is located at St. Louis. Mich., and married a Decatur woman, who formerly was an active member of the church at taat place. She was a social leader and one of the best known women of the town. She belonged to the church choir. Tenents of Church. The tenents of the Methodist church make divorce illegal for any cause other than adultery. Ministers are forbidden to marry a person who has been divorced for any other reason, if the divorced husband or wife is living. The law does not apply to the innocent party to a divorce for the cause stated nor to divorced parties seeking to be reunited. It was to comply with this feature of church law, that the Rev. Wilcox was unchurched. The statutory cause did not enter into his case, so the church would not recognize the divorce. Wilcox can not continue in the ministry of the Methodist church. Mrs. Wilcox has been made the recipient of a letter from the official board of the Decatur church. In it confidence is expressed in her and she is praised for character and excellent work while connected with the church. Ar,,. v. -1...JI table.

He Pared His Wife's Corns: Lost Her Love as a Result

WHAT ADOLPH DID. Most of the housework. Made the fire and cooked breakfast. Served his wife's breakfast in bed. Prepared wine and beaten eggs for her. Bathed her feet. Washed her hair. Pared her coma and toe nails. Warmed her underwear at the stove before she arose in winter. New York, Aug. 9. Although Adolph Wollschlager paid his wife all the attentions aforementioned and more, she declared in West Side court that she did not wish to live with him, and, although her spouse pleaded with her to relent, 6he spurned him. "It is enough what I say. You no longer do I love," she declared, and she flouted out of court when Magistrate O'Connor dismissed her complaint against her husband for breaking into her room at 103 West SixtyEighth street, saber in hand, to take her heart by storm. Clad in the gorgeous trappings of a meqjber of the Kriegerbund, Wollschlager, who is a retired German army artillery officer, faced the magistrate and told his story. SHE FINDS III A SHIRT WAIST Brooklyn Woman Pays 98 Cents and Gets Sure Enough Bargain. POLICE LOOKING FOR HER MRS. ANNA W ASS ER MANN, SHOPKEEPER, SELLS GARMENT AND BY MISTAKE WRAPS UP WITH IT HER BANK ROLL. New York, Aug. 9. One good thing about a shirt waist that a young woman bought for ninety-eight cents in Mrs. Anna Wassermann's dry goods store, No. 179 Grand street, Brooklyn, yesterday, was $595 that was wrapped up in it. Shirt waists, as Mrs. Wassermann herself said last night, do not come that way this season as a general rule, and the young woman who paid the ninety-eight cents seems to be well pleased with her exceptionable bargain. She has not been back for alterations or an exchange, and last night Mrs. Wassermann became convinced that to continue to expect that she would come back was to place an unjustifiable strain on hope, she asked Captain Booley of the Bedford avenue station to try to find the young woman. She Had a Sale. Mrs. Wassermann had a sale of shirt waists yesterday and she offered some really remarkable bargains. Among them was ?. china silk waist worjh $2.25 of anybody's money, but for one day only marked down to ninety-eight cents." A young, woman who was a stranger in the store appeared yesterday afternoon and fell In love with the ninety-eight cent bargain at once. When Mrs. Wassermann wrapped It up she wrapped up with it $595 that she had placed on the counter preparatory to placing it in a bank. She fears that the bargain hunting young woman has placed it in a bank herself by this time. Shirt waists, the regular value of which is $2.25, bear such a family resemblance to one another tiat the policemen who are looking for the

They came to America and on Staten Island they began housekeeping, and there he opened a plumbing shop, Soon, however, she became dissatisfied and they moved to 330 West Twenty-First street whence she fledl one day last May, saying she was go- j ing to Boston and start a boarding house. As he got no reply to his letters, Adolph went a-sleuthing, and found her finally at 103 West Sixty-1 Eighth street. Then, donning his regimentals and I boarding a hansom cab. he called at 1 the house and tapped joyously on her door. "Who is it?" came the familiar voice within. "It is I, your Adolph: he is here," replied the Kriegerbunder, but there was no answer from within. His pleadings spurned, Adolph drew his saber and with a few well chosen slaches cut the panel from the door. Mrs. Wollschlager fled to the fire escape and her screams attracted a crowd, and as Adolph dashed out of the house he was captured by a police man. one in which the $595 went home think they have a difficult task. One of the shrewdest of the seekers said last night that be considered it within the realm of possibility that when the young woman reached 'her home and found that for her ninetyeight cents she had bought not only a good shirt waist, but $595 besides; she had gone forthwith and bought several expensive waists, in any of which she might now be giving the townspeople a treat.

American Sunshine Will Make The Fair Haired People "Also Rans." RACE WILL BE BRUNETTES ARMY SURGEON FINOS MAJORITY OF CRIMINALS AND PAUPERS ARE LIGHT HAIRED HARDEST DRINKERS, ALSO. New York, Aug. 0. A startling note of warning to blue-eyed, light complexloned New Yorkers is uttered by Dr. Charles E. Woodruff, surgeon and major in the United States army, who has just completed a private tour of the prisons and asylums of the city and state. The jails and Institutions. he says are full of blondes, who. un able to stand the struggle for existence In a climate to which they are unfitted have fallen into poverty, disease and crime. What is true of New York, he says. is true of the country as a whole, and unless the blonde American finds or adopts some better means of survival than he has at present he will be wiped out as a type in favor of the bru nette. The great trouble is the sunshine. There is too much of it In America for the blondes, says Dr. Woodruff. It breaks down their nervous systems. renders them unstable morally as well as physically, and makes them pecu liarly liable to ravages of consump tion and other deadly ailments. Prison Full of Blondes. In Clinton prison, says Dr. Woodruff, where the worst class of criminals are confined, and where he expected to find the place full of modern Mackheads he was astonished at the very Uree number of blondes, some of them l ' of very light type. of the 2S3 convicts whose hair wu available for comparison, there were nineteen with very light hair, sixtyone with light brown, sixty-one with dark brown and 112 with black. of nearly 5.n men whose average age was 21, admitted to the Elmira re formatory Dr. Woodruff found the types classified themselves as follows as to their hair: Blonde SIS; red 00 sand v 103: light brown 1.2U3; dark brown 1,440; black 1.4O0. Of the 002 aged paupers on Black' well's island, says Dr. Woodruff, only one-fourth are native born. Drink has broken most of them down, and from this Dr. Woodruff argues that the un I derlying nervous cause of alcoholism is far more prevalent in blondes than in brunettes in New York city, Blames Light for Alcoholism. The thirst for alcohol, Dr. Woodruf says, is merely the expression of a ner vous weakness acquired under Amer ica's sunny skies, and resulting from excessive stimulation of light as one of a thousand causes Of ninety paupers in Boston instltu tions. Dr. Woodruff says he found the same general trend In a city markedly more blonde than New York Thus, he says, unfavorable climatic factors are causing unfitness for survival the race types in America too far misplaced from their ancestral I climatic conditions. This process of elimination among human beings, he says, differs in no small degree from that which goes on among Irrigated plants and lower animals. The native born, he says furnish the great majority of the blue-eyed professional criminals in New York. In Clinton prison 82 per cent of the tuber culosis criminals are native born Amusements Barnum A. Bailey Shows. The only African black face mandrill in the show business has cast his lot with the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. Its make up embraces all the colors of the rainbow. When it prances around its cage displaying its various hues it reminds one of la Sunday supplement, iney nave named it Joseph's coat. Another favorite In the menagerie is Agnes, a sweet little hippopotamus, as big as hen house and too lazy to scratch its own back. For novelty, there is the only rhinocerous in America, three old specimens of the gir affe tall enough to eat the house plants from a second story window box. South African wart hogs, baby tigers and a young polar bear. The menagerie is a complete toological garden, embracing everything in the animal kingdom of Interest. There are nearl all the elephants in America on exhibition and great herds of camels and dromedaries. In the way of trained animal acts the show is remarkably attractive. There are fifteen trained elephants that present a performance entirely new and by all means the most wonderful ever presented. Then there are a company of imported horses from Berlin that do a marvelous act. trained dogs, ponies, mules and seals. The many other performers, equilibrists acrobats. aerialists. riders, clowns and gymnasts, are largely from Europe and Asia, picked from foreign arenas because or their excellence in the various forms of circus entertainment. With these splendid acts, a company of European performers, the balloon horse, the daring act of Desperado, a new parade and another new and ornate spectacle to recommend it. the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth is meeting this season with more success than during any season in its proud history.
