Husband Poker Player; Wife Granted Divorce St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 10. —A divorce has just been granted by Judge Shields to Mrs. Katherine Hoy from Charles P. Hoy. traveling auditor of the Southern Railway. Custody of a son, 7 years old, and SSOO alimony in gross are'lncluded in the decree. At the trial of the case Mrs. Hoy Thin Folks Who Would Be Fat Inrrease In Weight Ten IVMIU'U or More I'd certainly give most anything to he able to fat up a few pounds and stay that way," declares every excessively thin man or woman. Such a result is not impossible, despite past failures. Most thin people are victims of mal nutrititn, a condition which prevents the fatty elements of food from being taken up by the blood as thev are. when the powers of nutrition are normal. In stead " getting into the blood, much of the fat and flesh producing elements stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. To correct this condition and to pro duce a healthy, normal, amount of fat, the nutritive processes must be arti ficially supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This can pron ablv best be accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol Is a careful combination of six splen did assimilative agents. Taken with meals they mix with the f.fod to turn the sugars and starch's of what you have eaten into rich, ripe nourishment for the tissues and blood and its rapid ?ffect has been in many cases reported remarkable. Reported gains of from ten to twenty-five pounds in a single month are by no means infrequent. Yet its action is perfectly natural and ab solutely harmless. Sargol is sold by G A. Gorgas and other druggists every where and every package contains a jtiarantee of weight increase or money sack. NOTE:—Sargol is recommended only as a flesh builder and while excellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, ?».c., have been reported, care should be :aken about using it unless a gain of ft-eight Is desired.—Vdvertisement. THURSDAY EVENING, complained that her husband enter tained a "poker club" at his home every week. Hoy's attorney sought to show that the card playing was innocent amusement. A record kept by Hoy of his winning and losing at poker in the last seven years showed he was $3 ahead, the attorney said. Youthful Prince Runs Off to Attend Theater London. Aug. 10.—Prince John, tjie king s youngest son. Is Just eleven, and already many stories are told of his : escapades. He seems to be something ' : of a pickle, as a boy should be. Re- 1 oently. Prince John happened to be at Buckingham Palace without his royal parents, and a desire to visit a theater "on his own" took possession of him. He went to the telephone and rang up a certain management, and inquired whether "His Royal Highness Prince , John can have a box." Needless to say. the,box was prom-; ised, but great was the amazement ■if the manager and staff, waiting In the vestibule to receive, as they thought, the youthful prince and his suite, when a taxk-ab drew up at the j door and a small boy entirely alone. ' entered the theater and asked for Prince John's box. Meanwhile, there was consternation at the Palace at 1 j the Prince's disappearance. Cruel Husband Kisses Typist, Slights Wife Memphis.

His , death ended u notable career of an- | | otner memoer of the Kuss lamiiy, j ; famous in lite hotel business in Harns burg. James Kuss was identnieu wnn > I several local hotels, incluuiug me j | Grand, Commonwealth and Senate. His hosteiries were alwajs tne heaaquar- ! ters during State political conventions I and other big occasions. Had \aried Interests Air. Kuss was also al various times I idenutiea with local enterprises, m ciuulng the Harrisburg Traction Com pany, and otner subsidiaries of the ! Harrisburg Hallways Company; the ! United Ice and Coai Company and was i one of tne original stocKiioluers ot Harrisburg's first artificial ice manu | lacturing company. Horn In Italy I Born near Lucca, Italy, March 19,1 1848, Air. Kuss was tne son of Louis i | Russ, known as "Poppy," a brick manufacturer and oli\ e grower of j fietro Ponti, Italy. James came to this country with his motner and three brothers. Narcissus, \\ llliaui ana I Patricio, when a small boy, his father I having preceded the lamiiy by a year. They traveled by sailing vessel, the \oyage consuming tnree months, and settled in Philadelphia, where I the elder Kuss engagea in the baK j ing business, later getting into the fruit business, in that city Louis, Jr., and John Kuss, brothers oi I James were born. .Later the fani j ily moved to Pottsvilie, where a sister. Alary, th e wile ot Clement B. Johnson, ol this city, was born. The tamlly moved to Harrisburg about 18b2, ana the father and boys engaged in the wholesale and reL.ii ; j iruit and proauce business In. a buna- ; | ing next to the present site ot tlie | Calder building in Aiarket Square. Family of Businessmen j All of the Russ family are, or were, familiar figures in ihe busi ness life oi Harrisburg. Narcissus, lather of Maurice Russ, the pro j prietor ot the Columbus Uotel, and | james, w eer first in business with | | their father, handling 'Tne j i Russ Line" ot last freight, a busi- ' ! ness similar to that ot the Peipher| ! line of to-day. Iced cars, or reirig- I | erator cars, nere unknown in ran-' loading then and the Russes! j bought proauce in Philadelphia' and Baltimore, making shipments | j throughout the middle Pennsylvania ; district lor outside concerns apu | 1 individuals. ! Narcissus Russ went into the res l taurant business in Market street, ! | under the United States hotel, then' purchased the City hotel, familiarly | i known as the Steamboat hotel, which | j stood Just opposite the Pennsylvania : [ station of that period. During this ownership of the' j City hotel, Narcissus leased Wil- i I Hams' Grove from the Cumberland I Valley railroad, and conducted the details of the Grangers' picnic for ten j years. Prominent Hotel Man James Russ was associated with [ his father until 1873, when he went I into the hotel business at the Harris i | house. Later, about 1876, he took: i charge of Brant s hall, one of the old-time show places of the city, : which was built by the builder of i "Brant's Folly" the building since I | converted as the Sylvan Heights 1 j Home for Orphan Girls. Brant's) hall site is now occupied by the Commonwealth Trust Co m p any! building. James Russ ran the hail j until ISBI, when he took the Grand; hotel, which stood on the present I site of the new addition to Bow- j man's store, Market street. Famous Grant's Tomb Trip For many years the Grand hotel I was the resort of politicians, Mat 'thew Stanley Quay making it. his , headquarters, as did all of the old {school politicians of those days. Mr. i Russ was a pallbearer at Quay's i funeral. Many political deals were developed and planned at The ' Grand. During one session of an early Legislature it was decided to go on a junket to the unveiling of Grant's Tomb at New York. The Legislature had no money, but James Russ con tracted to furnish all supplies, such as wines, cigars and goods of that nature, even going to the length of chartering the steamboat on which , a part of the junket was held. ! When the next Legislative session came around, it was on the reform i order and so refused to pass the i necessary appropriation bill to reimburse Mr. Russ. For several j sessions the bill dragged, the legis- I lature either declining to pay up, or ) the Governor vetoing the bills i when passed. I Then a bill was prepared at the ! behest of one of the big politicians of the day, permitting individuals I to sue the State by legislative act. James Russ was the first individual to sue and recover under those pro | visions, for the reason that his was I the case specifically in mjnd. The late Christopher L. Magee, of Pittsburgh, was very fond of James Russ, stopping at his hotel each time he visited the city. Magee found pleasure in card playing and his Invariable partner was James : Russ. whom he insisted should play with him each night when he was at i leisure from the details of political ; deals. Days of Noted Horsemen When James Russ retired from business temporarily, his brother, Louis, known as "Boy," took charge j of the Grand hotel and ran it for several years. Before that time "Boy" Russ operated a hotel at Front and Division streets near the old driving park. It was known as , the Harrisburg Driving park and, as it was before the days of the au ■tomobile. was frequented by the : gentlemen of the city whose pas ! time was speeding trotting horses along the track and the roads thereabouts. "Poppy" Russ had always been an j ardent horseman, and some of his • steeds were ridden by several of the Governors in parades here, while many officials rode some of his mounts at inauguration parades :of Presidents in Washington. It was told of Governor Pattison that he once 1 beuan negotiations with "Poppy" for a horse, which the Governor com mented upon as being worth a dollar a pound. "Dollar a pound" as the horse Instantly becam- known, was one of the famous speeders of early ' days in Harrisburg. , Louis Russ sold the Grand hotel and became a partner with Wil liam Russ In the oyster business then associated himself with James when the latter took charge of the Senate hotel. Ran the Commonwealth ! After being out of business for I several years, James Russ, in 1831 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH lAnother Big Rumm gs Sale | Store Open Ail Day and Evening Until 9 P. M.
