Caters for Mourners' Patronage.
The proprietor of one of the saloons

Mysteries of Existence.
Is anything more wonderful than
another, if you consider it maturely?
I have seen no man rise from the
dead; I bave seen some thousands
rise from nothing. I have not the
force to fly into the sun, but I have
force to lift my hands, which is equal
ly strange.—Thomas Carlyle.
Plays Solitaire with Dice.
A prosperous looking man who has
frequented the same cafe for two
years in Liberty street always stops at
the bar before he sits down to his
luncheon and shakes dice with himself
to decide whether he will take a>
drink or not. He never throws with
any other person.—New York Press.
The Elixir of Youth.
Time deals very gently with those
women who bring the imaginative fac
ulties into play in everyday life, and
surround their cares with a little halo
of their own; who constantly ruuster
courage, self-sacrifice, energy; who
bridle vanity and annihilate self. —
Family Doctor.
Scotland Yard.
Scoaland Yard, the headquarters of

prominent feature of the parade to
the body of the article.—Nashville
American.
Measure of Celebrity.
An actress must be well known to
have the papers print the fact that
she is about to be married; she must
be famous in order to have it stated
that she is not going to get married.—
New York Post.
More of the Same.
"Is there anything in Houston more
glorious than one of those red-headed
and dimpled widows?" is a query
which comes from Lake Charles. Yes,
sir. Two of them are twice as glori
ous.—Houston Post.
Four Times in Pittsburg.
It would take a book to tell why
twice as many women as men goto
church. One reason is that women are
twice as good, and another that they
are more than twice as pretty.—Uos
ton Herald.

Good Definition for Power.
To deal honestly with others Is not

Sublimity.
As for the sublime, it is, even

Putting Handicap on Baby.
Perhaps parents have a right to be

MRS. GOULD DIVORCED
WITH EXCEPTION OF ALIMONY
HER VICTORY IS COMPLETE.
Vindicated of Charges of Intoxication
and Her Alleged Relations With
Dustin Farnum, the Actor.
New Yorlt City.—After a trial which
has lasted nearly three weeks, Katb
erine Clemmons Oould obtained a
legal separation from her husband,
Howard Gould, third son of the late
Jay Gould, by a decision of Justice
Dowling in the supreme court here.
With the exception of alimony, her vic
tory was complete, but in this phase
of the case the court decided that $36,-
000 a year was sufficient, although in
her suit Mrs. Gould asked for s"ir>o,-
000.
It was In the vindication of charges
of intoxication and her alleged rela
tions with Dustin Farnum, the actor,
that Mrs. Gould scored most strongly,
for notwithstanding the long array of
witnesses for Mr. Gould who gave
such testimony as to make Mrs. Gould
appear at times as defendant rather
than plaintiff, the court held that the
alleged "intoxication" might have been
due to excitement.
As to Dustin Farnum it was held
that her association with him came
after Mr. and Mrs. Gould separated
and the husband apparently made no
objection.
Immediately after the decision. De
Lancey Nlcoll, for Mr. Gould, asked
for a 60-day stay of judgment and
Clarence J. Shearn, for tne plaintiff,
was on his feet to object. He asked
for an immediate judgment. Justice
Dowling compromised by making the
stay 30 days. Mr. Shearn then.asked
for an extra allowance for counsel
fees and the court gave him $2,000.
This, together with the SIO,OOO al
lowed recently and the original allow
ance of $5,000, will bring his fees to
$17,000, with an additional sum of
$3,900 for expenses.
REPORTS ARE ENCOURAGING
Continued Improvement in Industrial
and Mercantile Business Noted
all Over the Country.
New York City.— R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Reports from the principal indus
trial and mercantile centers are of
an encouraging nature and even the
long delay in ta.iff readjustment and
the new controversy over the proposi
tion to levy a tax on the net earnings
of corporations do not seem to hold
in check the improvement in business
conditions. The improvement, though
based upon many sound economic
conditions, is undoubtedly facilitated
by the ease of money, which also in
part explains the prevailing tendency
toward high prices. Hot weather is
stimulating the distribution of sea
sonable merchandise.
With continued new business and
restoration of wages the uplift in the
iron and steel trade is maintained, the
railroads placing notably large orders
for rails. Wholesale dry goods mar
kets are broadening.
HEAT DRIVES WOMAN INSANE
She Throws Herself and Young Daugh
ter from a Five-Story Build
ing and Both are Dead.
New York City.— Driven tempora
rily insane by the excessive heat,
Airs. Emma Mouthy threw herself and
her eight-year-old daughter from the
roof of a five-story apartment house
in Quiney street, in an exclusive sec
tion of Brooklyn. Both were killed in
stantly.
Mrs. Montliy's husband is employed
as superintendent of the apartment
house and the family occupied rooms
in the basement. Mother and daugh
ter went to the roof early in the
evening in search for relief from the
oppressive heat. They had been there
only u few moments when the mother
went to the edge of the roof and pick
ing up the child, le;u>ed over the low
cornice to the asphalt below.
Tliere were at least seven deaths
in the city proper due to heat, one sui
cide and two attempts at suicide.
TERRIBLE DEED OF A YOUTH
Boy Shoots His Younger Brother and
Then Buries Him Alive in
the Sand.
Modesto, Oal.—Cecil Hopkins, 12
years, confessed that he shot and bur
ied his brother Theodore, 6 years, and
his statement strengthened the cor
oner's belief that the victim was
buried alive on the hill where his
body was found.
According to his story, Cecil killed
Theodore while the parents were ab
sent from home, after the boys had
quarreled over their meal. Cecil said
he drove his brother from the house
and shot him. Fearing the conse
quences of his deed when the parents
returned, he dug a grave in the sand
and buried his brother, supposed to
have been still alive.
Arthur P. Heinze Guilty.
New York City.—Arthur P. Heinze,
one of he brothers whose bank
ing and copper operations have
been the subject of investigation since
the collapse of their copper pool, was
found guilty by a fury in the United
States circuit court here of corruptly
impeding the iwlministration of jus
tice in connection with the disappear
ance of the United Copper Co.'s books.
After a long wrangle between attor
neys sentence was suspended by
Judge Ray until October 11. Lawyer
Robinson was fined $250.
