DIVORCE SUIT 0(1 ; 24THjvnniyERSARV Unusual Co-incidence Was Brought to Light in the ' Karns Divorce Case.

On the twenty-fourth annf versary of their wedding, tho marital troubles of Otis K and, Minnie M. Karns were aired in the former's second attempt to secure a, divorce decree in the Wayne circuit court today. On March 28, 1888. they were married and today the case was reopened under Judge James 8. Engle of the Randolph circuit court, after Judge Fox bad refused to grant divorce when the case was heard by him a few weeks ago. Karns is asking a divorce on the grounds that his wife continually ac cused him, falsely, of having intimate relations with other women. The defendant was not present in the court room and employed no attorneys, but was represented by Prosecuting Attorney Ladd. The same unchaste evidence presented at the former hearing was given today. Attorney Perry J. Freeman was the first to be called on the stand. Attorney Freeman related an instance which occurred during his term as postmaster in this city when Karns was employed as transfer man at the Pennsylvania station. Freeman stated that upon one occasion the defendant came to him and asked that Karn's salary be paid to her and when asked the reason for her request she answered that Karns had been spending his money on other women. The plaintiff was then called to the stand and In his story which was seasoned with spicy statements he said that his wife has accused him of immoral relations with a number of local women, He also mentioned names of wives of prominent Indianapolis men with whom be said the defendant had alleged he had Improper relations. .a In fact the entire hearing was a repttitlon of the first hearing. A large number of witnesses testified for the plaintiff, a number of them being members of the Christian Science church.

Isabel Gordon Curtis, Author of "The Woman From' Wolverton." -J ' - o ' "X.. 's&sJl ' - - y 4J MBS. ISABBtt OOBDOM CTJBTIS. Among the story writers of today are a group of women who graduated not from a college, but from newspaper ranks. One of these Is Isabel Gordon Curtis. Twenty years ago she was doing the dramatic on a newspaper In Springfield, Mnss. Later she took up magazine work, &nd recently ber literary activities have taken book form, the result being a delightful story, "The Woman From Wolverton," which has been pronounced by critics as ''typically American." it deals with the social experience of congressional people. The local color and material for this story were gathered on the spot by Mrs. Curtis, who is the wife of Francis Curtis, director of the Republican literary bureau, and during a long residence at the national capital Mrs. Curtis has had a chance to become Intimately acquainted with congressional families. That she knows her Washington well may be gleaned from a very characteristic remark made by the heroine of the story, who says: "If you wish to locate lost relatives or friends you have not heard of for years and incidentally learn something of human nature, become a householder in Washington before inauguration. Any inauguration wUl do." Mrs. Curtis is a Scotchwoman, having been born and educated in Huntly, a little town in Aberdeenshire made famous by the Scottish romances of George Macdonald. Positions For the Untrained. 'A great problem Is that of supplying (iris and women of good birth, manners and education with an Independent and honorable career. Unfortunately many applicants remain vague and unpractical as to the nature of the work required. Now, the profession of governess and social secretary are posts which can be held only by highly educated, cultured womeu. And It Is bard to see what hope can be held out by the professional adviser to applicants of whom the following are typical: A girl, pleasing enough In appearance, says she wants work. Asked to be definite, she looks bewildered and then, thinking she has found the solution, replies with enthusiasm, "1 am willing to do anything." Further questions elicit that she knows no French, no German, no typewriting or shorthand, nothing of account, does not like cooking or needlework, but can arrange flowers, act In amateur theatricals In which she has been greatly admired can play the piano a little and considers herself eminently . suitable to travel abroad as companion to a nice girl of her own age, who must be prepared to pay well for the privilege. She goes away quite horrified that there la no Immediate demand for such services as she can' offer. An elderly applicant for a similar post described ber principal qualifica tion as "a willingness to speak English to girls going abroad!" Women of sixty of eccentric appearance want posts as housekeepers to widowers and are willing to do anything, from educating the children to entertaining the guests. It should be Impressed on women looking for definite work that definite qualifications are called, for. A girl who 1s healthy and good at games, such as golf and tennis. If she has a command of fluent French or German, will be snapped up at once, as win the girl with a degree, no matter how ungentle her manners. It Is the age of proficiency In everything. BUILDING A LIFE. An element of weakness in much of our resolving is that we try to grasp too much of life at one tame. . We think of it as a whole, instead of taking the days one by one. Life is a mosaic, and each tiny piece must be cut and set with skilL

FIVE PERSONS ARE

BURNED TO DEATH (NatloBWl News Association) WILKESBARRE, Pa.. March 28 In a fire that consumed their home on the outskirts of the city today five persons were burned to death. The victims were 'Mr. and Mrs. Charles Melleck and their three small children. The fire had gained such headway before it was discovered that the entire family was trapped and could not escape. Neighbors tried vainly to save them. The Mellick home was situated in a suburb which was without Are protection. TERRIBLE WEAPONS. Foroeioua Knivos Wielded by tho Natives of Hindustan. The weapon common to every part of Hindustan, so as to deserve the name of the national arm, is the Mkatar." This is a broad, two edged dagger, the bilt of which is formed something like an H. the band grasping the crossbar, which is generally double, while the side bars extend on each aide of the wrist. Some katars are made with five blades which unite into one. but by squeezing together the crossbars diverge like the fingers of a hand when the tbrnst has been given. Other katars are made in sets of two or even three, of diminishing sizes, tbe blades of the larger being hollow and forminp sheaths for the smaller. Some of tbe southern Indian katars. known as "death givers." are immense weapons, nearly two feet long in tbe blade, and the hilts are a mass of fantastic scrollwork and mythological moUters. the cobra with expanded hood figuring largely. There is also the "bich'hwa." or scorpion's sting, a doubly curved dagger; the "khanlar." a larjrer form of the same, and the "peshkabz." or hunting knife. But none of these elaborate weapons has about it tbe terribly "businesslike" look of the Khyber knife (ch'hara). with its ponderous single edged, tapering blade and plain ivory bilt Chambers' Journal. No Black on Nature's Palotte. Nature uses no black in any part of her work. I will not except the blackberry and the so called black pansy. On a bright, clear day shadows on the snow are pale ultramarine blue; under a blue sky in midsummer tbe color of the placid lake is cobalt blue and the shadows on the grass are lilac; on a weathered gray boardwalk they are neurit as blue as the sky itself. The palpitating atmosphere of a warm July day lifts the coloring of the landscaie to a higher but softer key instead of reducing it with gray, and in the autumn, when the sugar maple's leaves are turned to gold, tbe shadows on the trunk and every gray rock In the vicinity are tinged with strong lilac. In fine, when the sun shines everything, even tbe shadow wbicb we are prone to believe is gray. Is replete with color. F. Schuyler Mathews. Pie In Art. An artist in Chicago tells of a lady In that town who, with her maid, went to purchase a still life picture for ber dining room. She selected a canvas on which were painted a bunch of flowers, a pit cut in two and a roll and wag about to pay $25 for it when her maid approached to whisper in ber ear. "Excuse me, ma'am," said the servant, but you are making a bad bargain. I saw a picture very much like this sold the other day for $15." "And was it as good as this?" "Better, ma'am.

STREET .. IMPROVEMENT

Agitation for improvement of School street, the north boundary line of Fairview will probably result in the resi dents of that suburb acting in unison with other freeholders outside of the city in asking that it be improved un der the "three-mile gravel road law," recently passed.

That woman nature was much the same in colonial days is witnessed by the following from the diary of Miss Winslow of Boston in 'Colonial Holidays:" "I was dressed in my yellow coat, my black bib & apron, my pompedore shoes, tbe cap my Aunt Storer sometime since presented me with (blue ribbons on it) & a very handsome loket in tbe shape of a hart she gave me tbe past pin my Hon'd Papa presented me with in my cap, my new cloak & bonnet on. my pompedore gloves, etc., etc. And I would tell you that for tbe first time they all liked my dress very much. My clonk and bonuett are really very handsome, & so they had, need be. For they cost an amusing sight of money, not quite 43 tho' Aunt Sukey said that she supposed Aunt Deming would be frightened out of her wits at the mouey it C03t. "I had my Heddus roll on. Aunt Storer said it ought to be made less. Aunt Demicg said it ought not to be made at all. It makes my head itch & acb & burn like anything Mamma. This famous roll is not made wholly of a red Cow Tail, but is a mixture of that & horsehair (very course) & a little hu man hair of yellow hue. but I suppose that was taken ont of the back part of an old wig." Christian Science Monitor. Origin of Bridge. A great many people pl2 bridge, and a few fortunate ones occasionally make grand and little slam, but a very small minority have any idea of tbe origin of tbe name of this pleasant but uncommon score, says a writer in an English magazine. Close to Boston, in the United States, is tbe outlying town and harbor of Salem. Certain prisoners kept here in confine ment amused their weariness by inventing and playing a card game into which they introduced terms borrowed from the place names in tbe neighborhood. In the bay are. two islands called respectively Great and Little Misery. These names were adopted for their game and have found their way into ours. We even have a game called misery bridge. It is rather curious to think of these Boston prisoners Inventing these terms, which were destined to come into use again after all these days intervening. "Slam" is simply Salem abbreviated to a mono syllable. Great Britain exported nearly $10,000,000 worth of soap last year. ' Indorsed as follows: DR. A. P. W.

A Parisian gourmet thinks he has discovered an infallible method for getting gat a woman's age watch her at dinner. If she goes through every course, chattering all tbe time, and is equal to an Ice after dessert, not to mention chocolates and crystallized fruits, she is still In her teens. If she makes a good start with the hors d'oeuvres, does well with the caviar, salmon and such delicacies, but shows no Interest in tbe rest of the meal, she is between twenty and thirty and married. When she declines every other kind of game, but takes some pheasant, she has passed thirty, but has not yet reached thirty-five. After thirty-five she dotes on every kind of game, tbe more highly flavored the better. If at the end of dinner she takes cheese, showing special partiality for tbe odorous Camembert. then, says the Parisian observer, there can be no manner of doubt about it she is a lady of uncertain age.
