THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 189a
..
DIVORCES TOO EASY.
Judge Slagle Says That living Apart
for Tuo Years Does Uot
CONSTITUTE LEGAL DESEETIOK.
Chtrten for Political CInts Ire Declared
Unnecessary.
KEWS OF THE O0UNTT C0UBT8
Judge Slagle yesterday handed down an
opinion refusing a divorce in the case of
Lottie E. Fox against Edward For. The
couple separated in 1883, and "malicious de
sertion" was alleged in the suit In his
otilnion Judge Slagle said there was little
evidence to snstain the charge. Continuing
he said:
Tbe increasing number of applications for
divorce on the ground or desertion demands
a careful scrutiny or the te-tlmony adduoea
to sustain the charge. There seems to be t
growing impression in the .minds of the peo
ple that all that Is necessary to procure a
decree of divorce is to show that the parties
had lived apart for more than two vears.
This Is an -erroneous idea. Desertion im
pllos an abandonment by one party against
the will and without the assent of the other.
Separation Is not desertion. Poverty,
Idleness and nntruthfrlness are great
evils when they drive a wife Into
separation from her hnsband, but they must
not be mistaken for the high crime of deser
tion. A lllul abandonment ithont the as
sent of the deerted. persisted in for two
?-ears, mar bo assumed to be malicious. But
n proceedings for divorce, as in other cases,
malice will not bo prcsumod. It must be
proved bv showing facts ft om it may be rea
eonaolv inferred. The burden of proving
sucti facts is upon the libellant and in all
cases, but especially where the proceedings
are ex-parte. hliould be clearly proved. The
facts should rebut any implication of separ
ation by mutnal consent. The evidence In
this case does not do so.
In conclusion, the divorce was refused.
Attorney Harry M. Scott yesterday filed
the answer of Mrs. Johanna Geiger to the
suit lor a divorce bronght by her husband,
Daniel Geiger. They were married Jan
nary 2, 18S9, and separated 22 days later.
Desertion was alleged. Mrs. Geiger denies
the charge of desertion, and sttes that she
was compelled to leave fier husband, beius;
unable to stand his treatment of her and his
excesses. She described him as "a fiend of
passion incarnate."
Jl divorce was granted yesterday In the
cue of Eadie J. Short against Bobert Short.
Ill-treatment was the charge.
A XL01T AT POLITICAL CtVM.
mdr watt Drddes m Cbavrtar
Is ITot
Keewsiry for Thvsn.
Jn4gt 'White yesterday refused the ap
plication for a charter of Incorporation of
the Ton-t-ln-ka Bepcbliean Club of Brad
dock. The application set forth that the
club was an association of a number of citi
zens of Pennsylvania, banded together for
the maintenance of a clnb for acquiring lit
erary attainments and culture and the
study of political economy. The officers of
the club are: President. G. W. C. Day;
First Vice President, TV". J. "Vance; 8eeond
Tioe President, E. J. Email; Recording
Secretary, J. E. Menges; Corresponding
Secretary, E. B. Oskin; Financial Secre
tary, D."F. Melville; Treasurer, H. a Shal
lenberger. In his opinion Judge "White said:
I can see no reason for this Incorporation.
The clnb Is to have no capital and. of course,
no property or at most no real estate. What
Is It to do and what are 'he 15 trustees fort
There Is nothing in the articles of the asso
ciation providing for fees or assessments, or
Indicating what business shall he transacted
at the meetings. It Is not sufficient to set
forth the purpose of the association In the
words of the statute. It should appear bow
at purpose It to be carried out, so that it
may appear that the means proposed
to be employed are lawful and calculated to
promote the purpose. It should also appear
that there Is some necessity for the In
corporation. Not every association is
entitled to a charter of incorporation. When
tbe purpose can be as well carried out with
out charter as with, no charter should be
granted. An ordinary political club has no
rlcbt to be incorporated. This application
Is refuted and dismissed at the costs of the
petitioners.
DEPOSED TOOK TEE PLADITDTH.
ffndce TOiIta Criticises an Agreement for at
Contingent Feo.
Judge "White yesterday handed down an
opinion In ' the matter of the dispnte be
tween Mrs. Caroline Davies and her attor
ney, K. T. Mead, over tbe amount retained
by him for fees for services as her counsel.
Mrs. Davies had received a verdict for
$2,600 in her suit against Felix McKnight,
the saloon keeper, and others for damages
for the death of her husband. The interest
on the amount when it was paid was 118.
Attorney Mead collected the money. Mrs.
Davies shortly afterward filed a petition
stating that Mead only gave her $1,310 47,
retaining $1,577 53, and wanting the Court
to fix a fee. Mead's answer was that she
had agreed to give him SO per cent of what
might re recovered. Judge White, in his
opinion, Raid:
It appears from the affidavits that plaintiff
sirnea an agreement witn tne attorney to
allow him on bis lace SO per cent of what
roisht be recovered, and If the facts stated
nre true the plaintiff was deceived and lm-
Soaed upon when she signed that agreement,
ut that Is a question we cannot decide on
this rule. The respondent is entitled to a
Jury trial on that question of fact, which can
be decided. If properly raised. In an action
by ber. The reasonable and Jnst amount of
fee for his services in the case can only be
settled In that way. For these reasons tbe
rule Is discharged.
OBJECT TO THE COHnOTTSX
Bis Bemoval Is Asked on Aeeouut
of
Serious Charge.
A petition was filed yesterday by "Will
lam Gallagher, asking for the discharge of
M. F. Byan as committee of Mary J. Gal
lagher, the petitioner's sister. He states
that on bis petition to count an inqnisition
was held on his sister and she was declared
an habitual drunkard. In June, 1890,
Byan was appointed a committee to take
charee of her. She owned two houses in
McKeesport. Byan, .it is asserted, has col
lected the rents, but has applied no part of
them to the support of his charge, Mrs.
Gallagher. He, it is alleged, is a man of
intemperate -habits and pecuniarily irre
sponsible and, it is believed, is appropriat
ing the rents to his own use. The Court
was asked to remove him as committee- and
compel him to file an account forthwith.
A rule to show cause why the petition
should not be granted was issued on Byan.
VsDts Damages for a Kick.
Clarence Thompson yesterday entered
suit against Julius Jacob for (10,000
damages for injuries. The plaintifl is 13
years of age, ,and lives in the Third ward,

1892, he was playing about the stable of
Jacob when the latter or-lered him to get
water for a horse. He refused and Jacob
kicked and beat him. From a kick in the
ankle, it is alleged, erysipelas and blood
poisoning set in, and the boy is now bed
ridden and permanently injured.

Edward J. Pare yesterday filed a petition
for a writ of habeas corpus to obtain poses
slon of his 4-year-old son, William, who is

1892, his wife deserted him, taking all the
silverware, mantel ornaments, linen,
clothes, etc., and also their 4-year-old son.
She went to the home of her father, Henry
Collins, at Bennett station. She is unfit, he
charges, to have the custody of a child,
having been guilty of infidelity on various
occasions, which he 'can prove if desired.

that the child be brought into court. June

tain possession ot his child, aged 1 rear and

fuses to return it. Secretary Dorente, he
asserts, intends to place it in the hands of
persons of different religious denomination
than its parents, and the petition says
further that he has a place for the infant
with an aunt, a respectable and fit person.
Secretary Dorente says he took tbe child
lrom its parents because It was ill-treated,
and when he fonnd it, was weak from hunger
and filthy. The Court fixed to-morrow for a

Much to the surprise of the comrades of
Post 162, one of their mostworthycomradi'S,
the Rev. James Shipman, appeared on the
programme of American Mechanics to
deliver the address at the Thomas A. Arm

At the regular meeting or Post 155 Friday
evening another recruit, Leonides Hunter,

Friday evening was tbe thirtieth anni

Shook, of Post 83, and he was surprised at
his home by a number of the comrades and
ladies of the auxiliary. Comrade Shook
and wife were presented with valuable and
appropriate girts, and a very pleasant even
ing was spent by all present.
It Is likely that Post 157 will sever Its con
nection with the- General Memorial Day
Committee, and hereafter hold services and
decorate at the Oakland and Minersville
Cemeteries without coming into the lower
city. In this it will follow Post 117. which
used to participate with the General Com

Its own book.

The Greatest of Games Where Sexton
Has Advantage,
EAT, LIVE AND SLEEP WELL
An Interesting Talk With a Well-Known
Pittsburg:. Dnig-glat.
WHAT PICTURE OF A BELL MEANS
In the gams of life and death as played be
tween the doctor and the sexton, it has
been well said by an able Pittaburgpbyslolan,
the Injury done by noxious medicine Is the
sexton's perquisite for keeping the green
table.
He might have said that the principal
partrot the sexton's' "rake-off" was dyspep
tics. ,
Dyspepsia!
Don't have It. Avoid spoiling tbe diges
tive machinery. Eat, sleep and live well,
and don't expei iment with vour stomich in
the hope or, by some lucky chance, curing a
rheumatic leg.
A physician to prevent or reduce lnflam
malton, to relievo l heumattc pain, to cure
neuralgia, to get rid or a distressing back
ache or sldeache, generally anplies a Hell-cap-sio
plaster, and for years these plasters
were made only in quantities large enough
to meet the wants of physicians.
Now anyone can buy them at any first-class
di ug store for onl v a quarter apiece.
No lannly should be without them. They
are nlwajs teady to use. In rheumatism,
sprains or strains, neuralgia, pleurisy,
sciatica, swollen Joints and sotenessof the
muscles, apply a Rell-cap sic plaster to the
pait affected. Sometime, as in cases of
swollen Joints, etc , it would be advisable to
cut the plaster so that It will fit closely to
the part annllod. Sufferers lrom rheuma
tism will find that Grosvenor's Bell-can-sic
plaster will relieve even old ohronic cases.
In caseofindUeitlon gieit rellei is often
experienced by wearing a Bell-cap-sic plas
ter. For kidney difficulties, lame back,
weak back, pain in the loins and weakness
atisini; lrom sedentary habits, apply Dr.
Grosvenor's Bell-cap-sic plaster to the
"small of the back." No cure for sciatica and
lumbago i so reliable.
Said a Market stroot druggist yesterday:
"11 e have never had bo large a sale tor plas
ters as we have had this season lor Bell-cap-slc.
People teem to have found out the vir
tue in them. From my experience I am sate
in saying, as I do to anyone, that it is the
best plaster ever made. We are a conserv
ative housov and our trade rely often upon
our advice. I never rail to advise a friend
to use a Bell-cap-slc Here Is one. You
see It has the picture of a bell on
the backcloth. When you see that you
maybesuieyonure getting a Bell-cap-slc.
the best paln-relleving plaster to be had.
Many people, when they have an ache or a
pain, go to the drugstore and Justaskfora
plaster, and then wonder why the ache or
pain doesn't go away. 1 will tell you whv:
they don't specify what thev want, and gen
erally get a plaster that is made to sell, and
one that costs the seller next to nothing: or
course one Is asked to yny tbe same that he
would for a good article. The next tlnfe i ou

This Is ths Reason W. A. Keener, Esq.

of Treatment
of
Mayor Dunn, ot Franklin, Faw Also In
dorse Thrlr System of Mall Treatment
Heed the Moral Conveyed, "What Has
Been Done for Others Can Be Done for
You."
It is with an unusual degree of pride and
satisfaction that Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers puDlisli the interview below with W.
A. Keener, Esq., Justice of the Peace, of
Gieensburg, Pa., coming as it does from
such a prominent official. It Is also with tho
same spirit or satisfaction that they re-publish
the letter ot Hon. B. W. Dunn, Mayor or
Franklin, Pa., indorsing their system of
mall treatment
Of course these statements prove nothing
more than those they publish each week of
cuies made under their ,supotior system of
treatment,but from the prominence of these
gentlemen tho statements cannot ba flip
pantly spoken or by envious rivals as bought
testimonials. Drs. Copeland, Hall A Byers
do not have to resort to this means to secure
testimonials or their treatment. Many
patients coming under their care aie so
grateful for tbe relief afforded them for
which ther have songht vears In vain, fre
quently nsk tho privilege br adding their in
dorsement to the alreadv overwhelming
piootin favor of their method or treatment.
Under no circumstance is a patient's name
published without bis or ber consent, and
no one is solicited to give a statement. Tbese
statements are voluntary on tho part or
grateful patients. Evidence of this kind,
verified and substantiated ns It is by the
patient's name, picture and residence, can
not tail to uffoid subject lor serious thought.
These people are telling the truth. They
could have no possible object to do other
wise; they nre vour iriondsund neighbots
not "straw" men or women and- their teiti
mony must establish in any sensible mind
that citarrh is liable to develop into almost
any form of chronic tiouble, as wellns the
forcible and vital fact that Di-s. Copeland.
Hall and Byers thoroughly understand tho
treatment and cure of this disease.
Tho moial of tbese statements Is that
"what has been dono for other can be done
foryou." Do not delay, but consult Dts.
Copeland. Hall and Byera at once and get a
coriect diagnosis of your ailment and a con
scientious prognosis from them as to
whether your case is curable or not.
XTWTEtKS OF TpKTURE.
That Is What 'Squire Keener Suffered From
Catarrhal Asthma Now He Steeps AH
Night Lone Without Any Trouble.
No man in Greensburg is better or more
favorably'known than W. A. Keener, Esq.,
Justice of the Peace, and no man's word is
held In higher estimation by his friends
than is bis. Tho following statement there
fore carries with it an unusual degree of
weight and challenges public attention and
consideration.
"I had been troubled with a catarrhal and
bronchial affection for years," says 'Squire
Keener, "which during the past five years
developed into regular attacks or asthma.
Every night for five yeara I had to get up
six and seven times each night and burn
and inhale an asthma powder to obtain re
lief. No one who has not been affected so
can realize the agony of such an affection,
gasping and struggling lor breath, while
you feel as if a tight Iron-band was slowly
pressing your life out. I had, like
all other confirmed asthmatics, tried
W. A. Keener, Esq., Oreeniburg, Pa.
everything ever heaid of nnd had grown
completely discouraged until I saw Mr. Con
rad Apel's statement in tho Plttsbunr pa
pers, descriptive of his symptoms and final
cure bv Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byeis. As
his symptoms were similar to mine I deter
mined to give these physicians a trial and
how glad I am that I did so, for they have
cured my asthmatic symptoms completely,
I can now go to bed and sleep all nignt with-'
out waking up, and have no fear or the de
mon asthma clutching at my throat every
night, choking the life out of me. Besides
this, all ray catarrhal and stomach symp
toms have disappeared under their skillful
treatment, and 1 feel again that I am a well
man.
"I cheerfullv make this statement for tho
benefltof suffeiing humanity and in Justice
to these honorable physicians who are do
ing the noblest work of any in the country.
The very low rates at which they treat pa
tients brings the skill of highly educated
and trained specialists within the possibil
ities of the humblest citizen in our land."
Asthma is rarely a disease of itself. It
arises from -numerous causes diseases of
the klnnoys, stomach, heart, nerves, lungs,
blood and nose. If tbese several causes
were well understood and treated accord
ingly, there would be fewer Irascible asth
matics. Catarrh or tbe nose, moist, drv,
atrophic, hypertrophic, is now regarded tho
most frequent cause of asthma reflected
asthma, It Is called. The cause, of course,
indicates the treatment cure tbe catarrh,
correct the deformity in the nostrils, ir there
be any, and the asthma will disapear.
GIVEN TJf TO DIE.
A. Well-Known Allegheny Lady Whose
Doctor Told Her She Would Not Live
Through the Spring Now on the Boad to
Perfect Health Throneh Drs. Copeland,
l Hall and Byers' Tra meat.
"How sorry! am that I did not consult
tbese physicians last fall Instead of wasting
my time and money with other doctors,"
said a well-known Allegheny lady in the
office of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers a few
days ago. "I had read so much or their won
derful cuiesand desired to try them but was
persuaded out or It by a lady friend who
spoke disparaginglvof them because tbey ad
vertised. Instead of folio ving my own J udg
ment I was persuaded to consult another
doctor who said I would not live through
the sprlnj. Growing no bettor nnder his
tieatment I finally decided to consult Drs.
Copeland. Hall and Byers. I have been here
Just one month and my cough has entirely
ceased, I am gaining in strength and flesh
daily, and feel that I will eventually be en
tirely cured.
"I would advise any one wbo is skeptical
and of little faith to visit the office of Drs.
Copeland, Hall 'and Byers and talk with
their patients, and they will soon change
their opinion concerning these physicians.
I know I will always investigate for myself
after this."

The many personal friends and patients

to-day after an absence of several months
.spent In travel. The trying and conflnlng
duties of Dr. Copeland for sevorul years
previous to his associating his present partner-,
Drs. Hall and Byers, with blni com

rest and recuperation. All his acquaint

With improved and enlarged facilities for
seeing and treating patients, tbey started
upotmbe summer months, which will un
doubtedly be the, largest In point of practice
and patronage that they have ever experi
enced. It has always been: recognized by
these specialists that tbe summer Is the sea
son in which to treat and cure catarrhal
troubles, 'especially in this region; the
weather then lends Its aid to the work of tho
physician. The liability to cat4liin cold is
largely reduced, iind the influences, which.

SLOWLY STARVING TO DEATH.
This Was the Condition of Mrs. Mary Gor

and Strong and Doing Honsehold Work

"It almost borders on the miraculous tbe
success Drs. Oopeland, Hall and Byers had
in my case," says Mrs. Mary Gorman, who
resides on Sawyer street. Eighteenth ward.
"I had been troubled a long time with ter
rible neuralgic pains In my head and face,
ulcerated mouth 'and deranged stomach.
The,lnstd3 or my month was all covered
with ulcers, my appetite was poor and I
had not eaten any solid food for weeks
betore consulting them, on account
ot my mouth and stomach. I vomited
Mrs. Mary German, Sawyer xtrcet, city.
everything I ate, could not oven retain beef
tea or milk on mv stomach. I was very
much reduced in flesh. Indeed, had It not
been for the relief Drs. Copeland. Hall and
Bers afforded me, I would have soon
starved to death.
"I could not lie down for the smothering
sensation caused by the accumulation or gas
in my stomach and bowels. It also caused
shortness of breath, palpitation and flutter
ing of heart, cold hands and feet, etc.. etc
I had to often walk the floor all night belch
ing up gas from my stomach. This would
give me temporary relief until it would form
again.
I tried everything I could hear of, but
found no relief. Beading three months ago
of tbe remarkable cure of Mrs. Lewis Zol
linger, whose symptoms were Identical with
mine, excepting tbe tnoutb trouble, I deter
mined to consult Drs. Copeland,. Hall and
Byers, and place myself under their treat
ment. I thought as they had oured her they
could at least nffoid me some relief. My
hopes were more than realized, for to-day 1
am a well woman and doing the housework
for a family of elitht, where three months
ago some one had to wait on me. You can
not make this statement too strong, for the
half has not been told, and cannot be
realized. I will gladly tell any one who may
call upon me what Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers have done for me."
NECB1LGIC OR SICK HEADACHE.

giedientls ofton antlpyrlne or antUebrlne,
drugs which should never be used excepting
under directions of a physician, on account
of their sedative action on the heart. Drs.
Copeland, Hall and Byers' treatment is
mild and sale and permanently cures tbese
distressing head, symptoms which nearly al
ways are associated with catarrh.
"I had pains over the forehead and
throush temples nearly all the time," says
Miss Sarah Irwin, of Mansfield, Pa., "and a
clogging up of the nostrils, with dropping
of mnens into the throat which kept me
hawking and spitting to expel, a raw and
Irritated condition of the throat, witb all

Dear Sins My ather died from catarrhal

and been converted into a catarrhal nuis
ance for 10 or 15 years, but was not prepared
to learn, till I began treatment with you,
that I had catarrh with tho (Trip of a vise,
chionlo in form, and had attained to the
degree of incipient consumption. I now
see what was meant by the night sweats,
pain-over the eyes, dizzy Images dancing
betimes before my eyes, a couxh which for
the past yearor more has played havoc with
my dreams at night and my professional
duties in the day. I got so thin that they
talked of nsing me for a skeleton at initia

you, and I Just cannot draw a comparison
between how I am now and what I wag
when I began. I sleep well, cannot get
