MATTISON GETS DIVORCE.
Hi Wife Let a Naval Officer Darn
Hole In Her Stocking.
New York, Oct. 21. The uidquc plea
of 'Mrs,iiWchard V. Mattlson, Jr., that
as her husband had abandoned her ex
actly two years before he sued for di
vorce she was therefore excused from
her marriage vows was brushed aside
by Justice Erlanger in the supreme
court. He awarded the .husband an
Interlocutory decree of absolute di
vorce. Mattlson Is the son of Philadelphia's
millionaire "asbestos king." He met
his bride, who was Agnes Crulkshauk,
In Glasgow, and after a short court
ship they were, married In January,
1905.
Trouble started after a visit to the
United States battleship West Vir
ginia, lying In Newport harbor. Mat
tlson introduced his wife to the offi
cers, and there was a supper and high
jinks.
One of the things that happened
was that a young naval officer noticed
a hole In the Scotch lassie's stocking
and darned it while she lay In hl
bunk.
BIO FEES FOR BROKERS.
Morse Paid Large Commissions While
Manipulating Ice Stock.
New York, Oct. 21. During the two
years In which Charles W. Morse ns
Ice king manipulated Ice stock in the
pools he managed for John W. Gates,
Charles M. Schwab, Isaac Guggen
heim and others he spent the enormous
sum of $1,000,000 for commissions to
brokers.
This fact was brought out In the
testimony of Edward G. Moxey, the
bank examiner who had gone over the
accounts of the National Bank of
North America, when he was called
ns a witness at the trial of Morse and
Alfred H. Curtis before Judge nough
In the United States court.

Odorless Cooking.
Tho famous rcclpo which was offer
ed to housewives to keep the "odor of
boiling onions and cabbage out of the
house" for the modest sum of $1 seems
to have caught on in the fashionable
apartment district of St. Louis. The
recipe, which was only handed out
after the dollar had crossed the magl-
lan's palm was, "Don't boll onions
and cabbage." In order to be Impar
tial the owners of the St. Louis apart
ment house put it "In the lease" that
cabbage, onions and other "odorlfer
tU3 vegetables" shall not be cooked
n tho premises.
There ail? cooking odors more or
less unpleasant to many people which
do not go with the preparation of a
boiled dinner for Instance, frying fat
that ceased to be sweet or the "burn
ing on" of vegetables after the water
in the kettle has evaporated. It will
be a merry war when landlord nnd
tenant nnd neighbors who complain
come to settle nil these tine distinc
tions as to what Is what In the mal
odorous lino. But with that tho world
in general has nothing to do. The
tiuostlon Is upon the common sense
3f anybody banishing from the table
vegetables that make for health and
strength as well as pleasure because
nature happened to endow them with
flavor nil their own. The question
has upset the peace of families and
Imblttcrcd neighborhoods making no
pretense of being "fashionable." If
the St. Louis landlords persist nnd In-
lugurate a national crusade for odor
less cooking they will And allies In
ivory town nnd village. Fortunately
tho farm kitchen Is way to one side,
md odors can be kept from the bouse
without cutting cabbage nnd onions
off tho bill of fare.
Art and Matrimony.
The domestic troubles of Nat Good
win and his wife came as n surprise
to many who have seen this couple
at their best upon the stage. Usually
they have appeared In plays which
seem to syggest that the romance de
pleted was not all make believe.
Cynics doubtless said that the senti
ment between the two was too good
to last. It lasted fairly well for stage
people, and this Is not saying that ac
tors and actresses are abnormally
flighty In love affairs.
Life on the stage Is not the best
school for domestic loyalty. The fault
does not He especially In the tempta
tions Incident to a stage career. Work
In any dramatic role calling for emo
tional dlsplny robs the soul of the
player of somo of Its strength. It Is
the same with all art. Those finer
emotions and feelings which are nec
essary to healthy matrimonial life nre
dulled and sapped where the mind and
heart are continually working up to
the plane demanded for painting a
plcturo, writing a novel or acting a
romantic part on the stage. To men
tion this Is not to excuse domestic
vagaries In nrtlsts. It seems to be a
price that society must pny for being
entertained.
Doom of tho Plcturo Ship.
That once favorite type of American
sailing vessel, the brig, Is passing from
the sea. But fifteen have, been added
to the merchant marine, sailing under
the stars and stripes during the last
thirty years, and recently one of tho
tmall fleet remaining has been changed
to a schooner. It Is said that there
are. only five brigs sailing from the
Atlantic coast under the American
flag.
The schooner Is more easily handled
In a storm than a brig and mainly for
that reason has gradually displaced
tho more picturesque vessel in Ameri
can shipping. In Its day the brig
served the Anterlcan seamen well and
carried our flag Into every sea, round
ing tho Horn and the Capo of Good
Hope when tho passage, of these wa
ters was accounted a feat of seaman
ship by all the sailors of tho world.
That Frenchman who placed nn or

Tho Poo Centenary.
Tho year 1800 was fruitful In giving
birth to genius. Darwin, Gladstone
and Tennyson arc among the distin
guished Englishmen born that year,
while at tho head of the Americana
there looms Abraham Lincoln as the
greatest figure of his time. Lincoln
was born In February, ns we are now
annually reminded. Three weeks ear
lier Edgar Allan Poe first saw the
light In Boston. Richmond, Va., was
Poe's adopted home for n time. Ho
died In Baltimore and there lies burled.
Poo's centenary will be honored hero
at home by his many admirers and
nlso In Franco and England with re
spect and admiration.
It has been claimed that the tales
and poems of Poo were the first to In
troduce the merits of American litera
ture to tho readers of Europe. He at
least originated a school of writing
which foreigners honored by Imitating.
The names of Emerson, Hawthorno
and Poo arc often associated as thoso
of three men who stand apart from
their fellows ns writers of unquestion
able genius. Not n few award tho
palm among these three to Poo. As n
mnstcr of subtle nnd Imaginative verse
he lias been placed In tho highest niche
among Americans. His Influence was
long recognized here nnd abrond, and
that part of him which Is Immortal
his work Is certain to receive homage
worthy of It on two continents on tho
hundredth anniversary of his birth.
Abolish tho Sparks.
Some headway has been made in this
country In abolishing coal that
smokes. If that can be done the coal
Mint sends blazing sparks Into in
flammable material along tho engine
route can also bo nbollshcd. Dry
,'rass, brush nnd bushes In the open
are often lgtdtcd by sparks from pass
lug engines, and It stands to reason
that the forests along the railroads
are exposed to tho same danger, even
though the proof Is not always so clear.
. tftow York's forest commissioner Is
convinced that tho railway engines
passing through the forested regions
of the stnto are the cause of many
(Ires which do a vast amount of dam
age. He suggests that the coal burn
ing engine bo abolished on all lines
traversing the forest regions. Reports
to the commissioner from patrols In
dicate that In forty days during the
drought 300 fires were started in the
itate by sparks from passing engines,
r'lre patrols nre sent In the forests
with orders to look for the first blnzo
and put It out. If they have proved
that the first blaze conies from the en
gine funnel It Is perfectly logical to
isk that the spark emitting engine be
abolished wherever It is a source of
danger.
Didn't Loso Any Sleep.
Jenncr, the famous English phy
sician, was essentially n strong nnd
self rcilnnt man. He attended the
prince consort through his fatal Illness,
ho was the Prince of Wales' doctor
when the heir to tho British throne
had so narrow an escape In 1872, nnd
he also went to Darmstadt and re
mained in attendance upon the Prin
cess Alice till she died. To practice
medicine In "the fierce light that beats
upon a throne" Is not calculated to
lesson the physician's anxieties, nnd
one who know Jenner well once ques
tioned him on this point and hinted
that his responsibilities must some
times be sufficient to render sleep or
rest Impossible.
"Sleep," replied Jenncr in his char
acteristic way. "I don't think that
anxiety about a patient ever kept me
nwako five minutes In my life. I go to
a bedsldo. I do my best What more
can I do? Why should I not sleep?"
Hamlet's Bowl of Gruel.
George Melville, nn old English nc
tor, was fond of tolling a funuy story
at his own expense. Ho was acting
Hamlet in Bristol. It was the actor's
rulo to tako a bowl of gruel la tho
course of tho evening, nnd his land
lady sent over tho usual refreshment
from tho lodgings In Queen square.
Sho hnppened to hnvo a "new" serv
ant girl, who was explicitly directed
to get to tho stngo door by tho en
trnuco from Bank street nnd then car
ry tho gruel into tho greenroom. Sho
nrrlved nt a moment when Mr. Mel
vlllo was "on." Being unused to tho
ways of tho theater, sho asked a man
nt tho wings where Mr. Melvlllo was.
"There," said tho super, pointing to
tho stngo.
Tho actor was In tho middle of the
soliloquy "To bo or not to bo" when
tho girl ndvnnced toward him, bearing
tho bowl, and said, "If you please, Mr.
Melville, sir, here is your gruel."
