FIVE WEEKS WED, WIFE XO. 3
LEFT "MIMilOXAIKE KID."
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.

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.

FARMERS' INSTITUTE
Tuesday Evening.
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.

speakers throughout the institute.
He was rather disappointed at tho

would remember and profit by the
