TIIK CITIZEN
Modern Knoch Ardtn.
The divorce suit of Sarah Patterson
against Charles Patterson was placed on
trial tefore Judge Slagle in Pitt-t n r p last
T mrsday. Desertion was the cl »rg . I e
details <>f the case, as told in court, would
furnish material for a novel.
Charles Patterson, the defendant, is a
genuine Enoch Arden. After 28 years of
wandering he returned to find his wife
married to his brother and living in his
house, iiis welcome was a cold one, and
he was ejected from his own house l>y order
of hi wife. She next snud for a divorce
from htm.
In 1663 Patterson met and married a
good looking young tailoress of ileadville.
P . She wasth«plaintifl in the present esse
S-nn after the marriage the couple moved
to Pittsburg. Next Patterson concludtd
to go to the seat of war. To leave his wife
provided for in case ofhis death, he says,
he made a will leaving her wbate\er he
might receive from his parent's estate they
baring considerable property. During 18G4
aud 1a6.3l a 6.3 be was in the Government's em
ploy, running on railroads in Mississippi
Tennessee and other Southern States.
At the close of the war he returned to
P.tisburg. Work was scarce, and after a
month or so he decided to go SVe.-t. His
story, as told in court, is that he asked bis
wife to g i with him to Nevada, but she re
fus-d. He went alone, and year* of adven
ture and hardship followed. He wrote
manletters home to his wife and mother,
bn' r':ceived no answers. Tiiree of hin let
ters were returned to hiui from the Dead
I s-tter Olike At the end of a year he con
cluded, to use hi* own words, "that every
thing was (tone.
Before leaving noute he liart secured
000 as an advance on his • hare of hi- moth
er'* estate, and that was soon goue in ihe
West. Ue became a miner, then a pros
pector. and 'or year* roainel the wood*
and mountains of many States. \ ar'ous
other callings were taken up, but he be
came poorer and poorer. At last, alter 2S
yearn' absence, he decideu to return to his
old home.
The wanderer reached Pittsburg the day
before Thanksgiving a year ago. His con
dition was desperate, but old acquaintance®
whom he hnnted up loaned him money lor
food and better clothing. From them he
also learned that bis wife was lhing and
had married h s brother. The ne. t day he
went to the house in Poplar street, Alle
gheny, where they were living. The hon.-e
had belonged to his mother, who had long
been dead, and, be asserted, it was to have
been hie share of the estate.
Mrs. Patterson had heard of her first hus
band'!- arrival. He s.,ys that when he call
ed to see her be heard her tell the servant
who came to the door to make him leave
the house. He was put out, but he saw
his wife afterward. She declined to have
anything to do with him, and his demand
tor the property, he said, was also refused
A suit for a divorce was next entered by
his wife and the charge ot desertion made
The story told in court by Mrs. Patterson
was somewhat different. She denied that
be asked her to go West with him, and
claimed that he deliberately deserted her.
He never wrote to her or sent her assistance
in any way. Sho had to support herself.
Years passed and she finally concluded he
was dead. Her brother in-law was kind to
her and helped her in many ways. At last
in 18SW, satisfied her husband was dead,
she became the wife of his brother. They
had obtained possession of the Poplar
street property and have been living in it
since. She has not lived with her second
husband in bis wife since the return of her
first.
Upon cross-examination Patterson was
a*keil if he had not marrie.l again when out
West anil had two children and if the wife
and children had not died. He denied this
and also denied that he had told such a
story to anyone in Pittsburg since his re
turn.
Judge Slagle decided for the plaintiff acid
granted the woman a divorce.

An Old Abolitionist.
Cassius M. Clay, whose recent connu- j
bial exploit has attracted great attention
was one ol tbe earli> st and the bravest of
the o:d abolitionists. He was about the
only one of them who dared to speak
against slavery to a Southern audience.
He spoke whenever he was invited, and
w ut where he thought be-*t, hiring his
own hall and beariug ail otLcr expensue. ;
Of course a collection for an abolition j
lecture, takeu in a Kentucky audience, j
would have got more tobacco quids man ,
coppers. But Cassius was not a Ward, >
a .il neither anonymou.- warnings nor open
t'ireais could deter bun from talking open .
I_> whenever aud wherever it pleas. d ;
him. When in some pauicularly danger- j
ons locality, he wonid upon taking the j
stand begin about ttiis way Taking out
a bible he would say: '•Fellow-citiieua,
this liook is the word ol God In it we
are instructed to love one another, to dea 1
jastlj and fairly with all. aud to do unto
others as we would that others should do

ing out of his pocket a large revolver he
would lay il npou the Bible and tbe Con
stivuton and proceed witn his speech. It

The iimpcror of Japan.
The Japanese prole themselves largely
ou the lineage of tt.eir Emperor. Tradi
tion says that he, liki tbe rest of us, is ol
divine extraction, but he has the advan-
tage of must ol us in being able to trace
oack bis descent fur 121 generations, coVtr
lng apeiiod ol 2,500 years. At tte recent
banquet held by Japanese residents ol No«
Voile, on the Emperor's birthday (Nov. 3d j
at trie Waldorf Hotel, the speaKers were
unusually enthusiastic. One of tueui, Mr
Ter M. Uyeuo, named the present
Mikud" as ' incomparably the gr.-aiest fuv
eieigti the world lias ever si-en." lie bases
the Mikado's claim to so remarkable a dis
unction partly on his unequalled lineage,
partly on the extraordinary progress Japan
tvis made during uis reign. Everyone
knows that Jap«n has burst her cocoon
during the present Midado's reign, ami
made extraordinary progress in wnat the
Western nations understand as "civiliza
tion." Bui ttiat her progress is maml}
due to the Mikado is not so generally un
derstood. We know that be is an enlight
ened sovereign, and in sympathy *itb the
progressive epirit of his people, but il Mr
Uyeno had so far modified bis eulogy Mr
to call him the greatest Japanese sovereign
the world has seen, bis statement would
have been lefts liable to be disputed.

Don't Whip the Boys.
It is not their fault that their
shoes have worn out so soon. You
did not get them the light kind.
Have you seen our High Cut
School Shoe at 75 cents, si, and
$1.25? Try a pair <>f them and
you will have no occasion to whip
the boys on account of their
shoes. \
Girls wear out their shoes migh
ty fast, too, sometimes, but giils
that are wearing our siioes speak
very highly of them. The price
is moderate, ranging fro if: 75 cts
to $1.50.
Ladies are not as hard 011 their
shoes as school girls, but they all
need them. We have ju>t receiv- ,
ed another large shipment of La
dies' Vici Kid Shoes in Heel and
[Spring, Lace and Button, Opera
and Plain Toe at $1.25; other
stores ask $2. Come in soon.
The Men are coming our way,
they have learned of the big cut
we have made and our sales on
Men's Shoes gets larger ever day.
Our 95 cent line is good, our fi
line is better, our $1.25 line is
creating quite a sensation, while
our $1.50, $2 and $2.50 line is
simply out of sight.

-5 ioa" impells us in te! ing you how and w here
4 you can purchase no* only pure whiskey,
f but where you may obt iin the BLST and
# PURLS T liquors generally, either for medi
cal or social purposes. As a necessary
X stimulant, pure whiskey is an abs -lute
4 necessity, especially so at this season of the
# year. Its timely use counteracts the ill ef-
J feet of climatic changes 011 the system, ;ind
J it is invaluable "to sustain the flagging
powers ol life in disease" as stated over
4 the signature of one of our most eminent
physicians, (see page 13 of our catalogue).
At this time of the year too, the good
Jl house-wife is bent on serving "good cheer"
2 for the Holidays, and what indeed would the
0 Christmas Dinner be without its Pudding
V flavored with rum? its Mince Pie without
\ Brandy? while the hot, smoking I unch and
the steaming Toddy must not be forgotten
« lor they are all a part of Christmas and the
V new Year.
Then too, friends must not be forgotten,
and there is nothing more acceptable as a
2 Christmas offering than a bottle of tine
# whiskey or wine.
Read over our catalogue,
Which Will be Mailed Free on
Application,
Carefully, and be assured hat our earnest
J offort will be to please \ou and to give vou
J the very best liquors, ali guaranteed to be
2 perfectly pure.
