George H. Mulligan, Jr., Who Di vorced Former Chorus (Jirl, Mar ried Miss Gertrude Houchcr of Canada Oct. 8. Soon After Uridal Trip She Departed to Jersey "Thinks He's the Great I Am," She Snys, "And Wo Did Xot Agree on Anything." No clears have been named after Geo. H Mulligan, Jr. lie has trained fame In other ways. Not to crowd the first para graph the ways are these: First, he selected a father who is rated as a multi-millionaire. Second, his falhci bought him a garage full of automobiles. Third, George, Jr., and his friends used the, automobiles so much to entertain chorus girls that the customers didn't have a look-in. Fourth, he married a chorus girl, Bessie Van Ness, in 1909. Fifth, George, Sr., disinherited his son right after the marriage. Sixth, George tried chauffeuring hero and laboring as an clecti ician's helper In St. Louis. Seventh, ho divorced his chorus girl wife. Eighth, in there somewhere George, Jr., faked suicide in a vain attempt to soften his father's heart. That's all old stuff. The newspapers have been full of It. The real news that The World is printing exclusively this morning is this: Second Venture Was Brief. George married Miss Gertrude Boucher, twenty-six, of a wealthy Canadian fam ily, in Tarrytown, Oct. 8. He took her on a brief honeymoon to New Orleans and Atlantic City and then they started housekeeping in tho Hotel Marseilles. One Hundred and Third street and Broadway. And then well, the latest Mrs. Mulli gan told a World correspondent last night that she had left George three weeks ngo, after live weeks of married life, and had ilown to Bed Bank, N. J. And she will never, never live with him again, sho says. I found him out," said Mrs. Mulligan last night. "Ho likes to be in tho lime light He thinks he's the great 'I am." But he has a lino old father. Even his father has put him out." Tush, tush!" warned Clarence S. Houghton, a lawyer with offices at No. Ill Broadway, Manhattan, at whose home in Shrewsbury avenue, Bed Bank, N. J., Mrs. Mulligan is stopping. "You shouldn't have said that." Met Him nt Country Club. "Well," said Mrs. Mulligan in answer lo questions, "I met Mr. Mulligan first in the Forest Hill Club, Pike County. Pa. lie appeared to be wealthy and made violent love to me. He told mo he was getting a divorce from his actress wife, and begged me to marry him as soon as he got it. . "At first I refused absolutely. That was in July, inn. But, after telling him I I vumiiu l Lonsiuer it we became engaged in October, 11)12. Ho was a perfect lover and we were married in Tarrytown. 'It was on the trip to Now Orleans that I began to suspect him. He insisted on my wearing a certain dress because, ho said, it attracted attention to me. I soon discovered that ho thought it attracted at tention to him. I didn't want attention. Agreed Only in Disagreeing. ' After wo had lived in tho Hotel Mar seilles a little while I found that our temperaments were incompatible. We couldn't agree in a single thing. So I came hero to Bed Bank to visit my old friend. Mrs. Houghton, and to ask Mr Houghton's advice. "No, 1 will never return to him, NEV ER ' But tho rumor that I am contem plating a divorce is absurd. I have no grounds for such an action. Our differ ences are purely mental. '"I don't know where George is now, Ho Is t Mng, through frlenls, to get mo back Hut I won't go." George H. Mulligan, Sr . who tried to have lis son arrested that time lie pie tended to commit suicide, lives in the old Richard A. McCurdy mansion In Mor ris Plains, N. J. Somebody there yester day said to a reporter for The World over tne phone "Nobody here knows where Mr. Mulli gan, Jr., Is. Wo have heard that ho was married In October. But nobody hero Is Interested. Ho has been turned out of the house. Wealth Cunio in Contracts. Mr Mulligan, Sr., made his money In tho contracting business. Ho also de rives a revenue from a line of sightsee ing automobiles In this city. After George Jr., was disinherited ho drovo ono of these After that he drovo a taxi. The reporter missed George Jr. at tho Hotel Latham by seconds. Tho manager of tho Marseilles refused to say where the young man had gone. "It s a good story though," he said. Wl George. Jr., was in his heyday on ,B"oadway he was known as "Tho Mil lionaire Kid." When ho had a big al lowance ho placed many chorus girls on the road to success In various Broadway productions. Even tho most cynical said that young George gave simply out of shwr good heartedness. Tho first Mrs. Mulligan brought an un successful suit for alleged alienation of affection against Mr. Mulligan, Sr., after George, Jr had sued for divorce, George has lived only twenty-eight years. Perhaps You Failed to Xoto This Haro Bargain Last Week. That Is why wo tell you again that C. P. Nell, Hawley's meat man, has a 10-horse power upright engine that he wants to sell for want of use as ho now uses elec tric power. Mr. Nell used tho engine about 8 years and took splendid care of It. The engine is as good as the day it was brand new. It makes no difference if the engine did cost J125 when new, for Mr, Nell will bo very reasonable in price us ho wants to sell it right away. If you need an engine, go right around and see it. You'll find tho price right. Adv. Adv't, J. W. Parker Went to Scrnnton Looking for Spring Flowers. Last Saturday J. W. Parker, of tho Sny der, Freethy & Parker drug store, went to Scranton on a strictly business excur slon.

Schlager's you can get them, also hundreds of other useful and handsome articles. Go right, along and see E. L. SCHLAGEB. Adv't. A Quick Marriage Leads to Quick Divorce. Only a few months ago "Floyd Quick and a young girl by the name of Buckingham were married at Diamond Valley and they came to Hawley to live. Tho mar riage was another exemplification of the old saying, "Marry, In haste and repent at leisure." This was surely a Quick marriage whether it was a hasty one or not. Last Saturday Mrs. Quick had her husband arrested for non-support. The good 'Squire before whom the case was brought released the arrested man on paroie. On Monday Quick was re-arrested on the supposition that ho was en deavoring to skip out of town. He was caught at the lower denot and brought back. It Is alleged-that the matter has been settled by Quick's granting his wife an uncontested divorce, paying her $50, and assuming responsibility for payment or expenses.

There was a large attendance of young people, both boys and girls, in fact the largest attendance of any of the sessions. Fred W. Card opened the evening session with an excellent address on the "Call of the Land." The speaker appealed to tho young people to stick to the farms and spoko of tho many opportunities that tho farm offers to them among which are: Healthful employment, independent life and also a continuous life. These things are very seldom found or connected with tho life of the average business man in the city. Another thing is the home on the farm. No other occupa tion can produce the happiness and contentment whic his associated with the home on tho farm. It is the ideal homo and this thing if no other should Induce tho young man or the young lady to cling to the farm. Jlr. Card was applauded with en thusiasm. Last Address of Institute. The next and last lecture of tho Institute was a discourse by Prof. W. W. Cook on "Bird Migration." Stere optlcon views of all the birds and routes was an added attraction. Tho States have undertaken to pro tect the birds but havo not been suc cessful and so tho matter was brought up at the last session of Congress and a committee was ap pointed to Investigate the matter. The following birds are non-migratory: Cardonal, Screech Owl, Chick ordeo, Downy Woodpecker, Gold Winch, Bluo Jay. The following birds are migratory: Meadow Lark, Flicker, Red Wing Blackbird, Golden Round Kinglet, Maryland Yellow Throat, Indigo Bird. Most of these birdsvare found in our own state of Pennsylvania. The reason for bird migration is because of their ever lasting search for food which through tho winter months they have to seeit in southern climes. Prof. Cook received a round of ap plause at the conclusion of his talk which he well desorved. Sunt. J. J. Koehler's Remarks.

He was rather disappointed at tho general attendance to tho sessions but hoped that those who did attend would remember and profit by the discourses.
