Shoemakers' children proverbially go bare
footed , an-l the reformer's own domain Is
frequently the last place reached by reform.
About the 1st of August last the advent
ot a disciple of Dr. Parhhurst was announced
by Omaha dallies "R v. " Alexander F.
Irvine came to Omaha with general letters
of Introduction from several prominent church
workers In New York. He was received by
local ministers cautiously , but without ques
tion of his recommendations or sincerity. He
stated that he had been doing mission work
In New York In connection with Or. Park-
hurst and that he had been Identified with
the I'arkhurst political movement , but that
bo had outgrown the field for work In that
city. Ho yearned for opportunities to ex
tend his activities and he thought the re
demption of Omaha Just the task ho was
fitted to undertake.
RATHER FLEXIBLE CONVICTIONS.
Mr. Irvine did t.ot profess to be a man of
very strong denominational convictions.
Although ho appeared before the public as
"Rev. " Alexander Irvine aud posed as uch
In his addresses before the Municipal league
and other bodies , he confessed to his more
intimate associates that he had never been
ordained to the ministry. In New York he
had become a member of the Presbyterian
church because the mission work for which
ho was employed In the Church of Sea and
Land was conducted under Presbyterian aus
pices. When he reached Omaha ho made ,
application to the president of the local Bap
tist board for rccci'Usn Into that denomina
tion , with a view to ordination , and mem
bers of the board were notified of his re
quest. In the meanwhile , however , he suc
ceeded In securing employment from the
Congregational Extension society to take
charge of the Chapel of the Carpenter on
Toppleton avenue and the river bottoms. With
a prospect of revenue from Congregational
nources of courte he would not hesitate ou
qiiCHtluns ot doctrine. So he Joined the
Congregational church. His ambition was-
iitlll to become lawfully entitled to
the use ot the prefix "Rev. "
Soinn of the Influential people of
the church were finally led to establish
the Church of the Pilgrim for him , and he
secured the crowning glory of ordination as
a minister of the Congregational church on
the 7th day ot February of this year.
OUT AS A WITNESS.
Eager to Introduce Parkhurst methods
Into Omaha , Mr. Irvine appeared voluntarily
as a witness before the grand Jury that was
recently called by the district court to In
vestigate the existence of corruption among
public officers. Ho appeared again before
the Board ot Fire and Pollc ? Commissioners
ft few weeks later as a voluntary accuser
of the entire police department and related
his experience in patrollng the burnt dis
trict In the guise of a uewspapcr reporter.
So far as can be ascertained Mr. Irvine
failed to produce anything tangible to sus
tain his accusations on a legal basis bcfors
cither body.
PETITIONS STEALTHILY FOR DIVORCE.
On February 13 Alexander F. Irvine filed
n petition In the district court for divorce
from Nelllo ' Irvine , his wife , non-resident de
fendant. As the law of Nebraska requires
the plaintiff In such a case to have been
alx months a resident of the district In
which ho sues. It will ba seen that the
Omaha Parkhurst did not let any unnec
essary tlmo pass before Initiating these pro
ceedings. In his petition Irvine charges tla
defendant not only with Infidelity , but also
with extreme cruelty and habitual drunk
enness for two years last past. The notice
to the non-resident defendant was published
In an obscure weekly paper with the evi
dent purpose of preventing the party In
terested In the case from seeing It. April
9 was the time at which answer to Irvine's
pHltion should be filed , and the notice to Mrs.
Irvine further stated "that on the 16th day
of April , 1895 , between the hours of 10 a.
in. and G p. m. . before competent authority
at the town hall In the city of Stamford ,
county of Tfalrfleld , and state of Connecticut ,
the plaintiff above named would take the
deposition of Andrew Lowry and other sun
dry witnesses In this action. "
The manner In which these proceedings
were Instituted savored strongly of an at
tempt to take snap judgment upon a defense
less woman. An Inquiry addressed to the
mayor of Stamford , Conn. , brought forth this
vigorous reply :
THE MAYOR'S LETTER.
OFFICE OF Tlin MA YOU. STAMFORD
Conn. March W. 1S03.-I have had a thor
ough Investigation made as to the matter.
The net result Is that no one can be found
who over heard of Rev. Alexander F.
Irvine or 6t Nelllo Irvine , and that there is
no such person as Andrew Lowry livingIn
I will ndd Hint the Idea ot a henrlne on
such a mutter In the town halfof Stamford
la simply absurd. The
a , hall Is kept locked
except when used for public purposes
flours very truly.
CHARLES H. LKKDS. Mayor.
WIFE A HARD WORKING SERVANT.
This was something of a revelation. But It
Is no more so than the story given by Nellie
Irvine to a representative of The Bee , who
called upon her a few days ago.
Mrs. Irvlno Is serving as mald-of-all-work
In the household of Mrs. Cheney , 275 West
I3nd avenue. New York City. She Is a rather
comely llttla woman of about 30 , of the
English rustic typo of beauty , with a slight
Indifference us to the pronunciation of her
Jl's. In spite of the fact that she appeared In
a blue gingham dress , with a big apron , and
her sleeves rolled up , 11 did not take a great
deal of Imagination to
realize that ten years
ago she was Just the kind of English
lassie to capture the heart of a Tommy
Atkins , returning from a campaign In the
Soudan.
"Well , that's Just like the man , " the said
with an Indignant look , after she had read
over the charges of her husband which were
handed her. "There's not a word of truth
In II. He simply wants to get a divorce
and he don't care how he goti It , as long
an he gets it. That Is the reason he went
to Omaha. He found t.iat ho could not got
divorce In New York , so he went there
and ho told me If he could not get one In
Omaha he would go somewhere else where
ho could. "
MRS. IRVINE'S STORY.
Then she told her story In a rather dis
connected way. She was married to Irvine
at Gasport. Eng. , In 18SG. When she met
him ho was a private In the Royal Marine
Light Infantry and had served In the Sou
danese campaign with General Gordon. So
far as she knew ho had served well , and he
had two medals as a recognition of his
services. They had Hvo children in all.
two of whom arc dead. All went well
< * enough until he obtained a leave of absence
to visit his old home In Ireland. The next
thing she knew , about tn-o months later ,
she got a letter from him , saying that he
was on the way to Australia. He and a
fellow private. Best , who Is brought up at ,
a co-respondent In the case , left the English
army and went to America. He completely
left her also , and left her with her children
on her hands to chltt for herself as best
she could. She went back to her parents'
house and lived with them for almost twelve
months. Then she found out that Irvine
was In America , and , having prefixed a
"revorend" to his name , was doing mission
ary work In the slums Mrs. Irvlno followed -
- lowed him to New York and they lived first
on Broomo street , then on Second avenue
and then on Pike street. In tbe meanwhile
Irvlno had become one 'of Dr. Parkhumt's
satellite * and took charge of the Church
of Sea and Land , since abandoned , But he
was a fellow with an ambition to sain fame
and get his name In the papers. He was
getting In with some of the swell charity
workers ot the metropolis , and ho began to
think that he wai a person of tome Impor
tance.
NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH FOR HIM.
Ho told his wife moro than once It he
wasn't saddled vlth her on his hand * be
could marry plenty ot "educated ladles. "
"i wasn't educated enough tor him , " Mrs.
E.V
Irvine aJJcJ ircaatca1ly ! , "but I wa good
enough tor Mm when ho married me. "
Whenever the asked ( or money to make their
home half-way comfortable lie refuasJ , al
though bo was quite willing to spend It on
some- unregenerate pauper , and though he
could tell other people how to live he was
unwilling to show them how to live by his
own example.
At last , one day , he told her that ho w&uM
not live -with her any longer anil that he
\\st Kolng to net a divorce ( ram her. Ho
said ho would give her (100 It she would
leave peaceably anil pay her enoufih to live
on. He give her $40 and paid her $ G a week
toward her support for Just four weeks , and
outside ot that she had not had a cent from
him , Since that time she has been up-
portlns herself by working out as a servant.
She has been nt 2C3 Second avenue , 136
Halt Forty-eighth street , and Is now at 275
West Und avenue. Then he got Lawyer
Frank Moss of Lexow committed fame to
file a bill of divorce. The New York law
makes adultery the only ground for divorce
and It was necessary to trump up some
charRO. So ho got Hugh J. Best , the man
who had left the English army with him.
to appeir aa co-reipondent. Ho thought
that MM. Irvine would not appear to refute
the chnrnes and the divorce would bs granted
to him by default on her part. When they
found that she was going to appear against
I Im. his lawyer saw tliat Irvine had no case
and the suit was dropped.
Hut this treatment of his family got abroad
and made his work as a pastor and mission
ary Ineffective , and so hi1 selected Omaha as
a good field for his labors and a place remote
en.itiqh to obtain his divorce. Hla children
lie claims to have scut home to bis people In
Ireland , but It Is said that they are now In
Doston.
ACCUSES ins nnsT FRIENDS.
" 1 don't care now If he does get hh divorce. "
Mrs. Irvine continued , "I'll be glad to get
rid of him entirely. Uut I do think he ought
to put tha children somewhere , where I can
see them now and then. It's pretty hard for
a mother to have her children taken away
from her. I know I can't have them with
me. I am working Just as hard as I can
to keep myielf and to be decent , and I could
not take care of them and work out. And
do you think that I look like a person who
could pound a man who served eight yonrs
In the English army and went through the
war In the Soudan with Gordon ? It don't
seem very grateful , either , that he should
accuse his best friends. He says I have been
living wl\h \ Newberry O'Conncll. The O'Con
nslla practically kept him allvo when he first
came to New York , and he would have been
hungry many a time If 1L had not been for
them. I can glvo you the addresses of the
people with whom I have been , since I left
him , and they will all tell you that I have
dona nothing wrong. Lawrence was another
friend of the family , and Hugh nest was
the man who left the army , and all his
charges ore absolutely false. "
Mrs. Cheney , at whose house Mrs. Irvine
la working , says that she has never found
anything to criticise In her conduct , and
the other pe'oplo with whom she has worked
all say that her behavior has been unim
peachable.
LAWYERS SUBSTANTIATE THE STATE
MENT.
The lawyers In the case In New York tell
substantially ono story , although with some
variations.
Joel M. Marx , 1258 Broadway , who was
Mrs. Irvine's attorney , when called on by
the representative of The Ilee for Informa
tion as to the reason % vhy Irvine abandoned
his suit in New York and went to Omaha
, sald : "Tho simple reason was that he had
no chance of getting his divorce whna ho
found Mrs. Irvine was going to oppose his
suit and bring In witnesses to refute his
testimony. The whole thing was rotten from
the beginning.
"The way I became connected with the
suit was this. Mrs. Irvine , who knew abso
lutely nothing about laws , courts or their
procedure , appeared without any attorney ,
and Judge McAdam sent her to me. I tool *
up her case merely as a matter of charity.
There was nothing in It for mo ; It Is true
that the Judge awarded mo $30 , to be pali
by Irvine , but I had a hard time , and con
eldcred myself lucky to get $25. Irvine was a
British soldier. He ran away from his wife
and came to New York. Ho wanted to ge
a separation from her , and got another pit
vale , named Best , who ran away with hltr
and Is made ono of the cd-respomlents In
the bill , to make Improper proposals to Mrs
Irvine. She resented them and complained
to her husband , but he neither did nor said
anything about the matter. He came to Nev
York entirely destitute , and was helped along
by some friends to keep him from starving ,
He worked Into the mission field , and be
came connected with the Church ot Sea am :
Land. When Mrs. Irvine came over with tin
children ho had to take care of them be
cause it would have made too much nols
and spoiled his position ,
CRUELTY ON THE OTHER SIDE.
"They lived wretchedly , and he never dli
anything to make a decent home. Irvln
had gotten In with a lot of high-toned ladle
and his wife , whom ho had married whll
a soldier , was no longer good enough fo :
him. He took away the children , and sal
ho was going to send them to Ireland to M
people. And then he got rid of her by prom
Islng to support her If she would leave him
Seeing that her children were gone she wa
perfectly willing. But he never paid be
but $40 , and $6 a week for four weeks , am
she- has been supporting herself by worklni
out as a servant girl.
"Finally Frank Moss began a suit for bin
for a divorce. Irvine went to her and tel
her he would send her over to the ol
country to her children. He gave her
piece of paper , which he said she shoul
give to his folks to get both children , bu
not to bother about It particularly. B
chance she happened to show It to a frlen
some time after , and It proved to be a sum
mons In the divorce suit. She did not un
Jerstaml about It , and gut Into court on th
wrong day. The Judge heard her story , an
rent her to me to take charge of her case
When Irvine found that she was to appea
and testimony wculd be brought on her side ,
they had the case postponed a couple o
times. That was some time In May
nnd when the courts adjourned for th
summer Irvine skipped out and went t
Omaha. They hadn't the least evidence fo
a divorce. 1'vo told you about Host , an
Ne-wbcrry O'Connell. who was named as th
other co-respondent , was a son of the famll
which had picked him out of the gutter
and helpeJ him aloii ; . The young fellow i
a sailor on a man-of-war , and at the time th
offense was charged was out at sea. Th
Idea of Mrs. Irvine , who Is a. little bit of
woman , aesaultlng a strapping soldier wh
had seen seven or eight years' tough service
Is just as ridiculous as the rest of the charges
That man Irvine managed to throw a goo
deal of sand In the eyes of theI'arklmrs
outljt. but If he had come up before the court
I would have shown them what he was. Uut
he Is out of our Jurisdiction now. and we can't
do anything about It. "
MOS3 UNAWARE OP NEW CASE.
Frank Moss , who is the attorney of Park-
hurst's society , of course told a slightly dif
ferent story. "I first met Irvine. " he said ,
"about four years ago. He was working
very hari all day and educating himself at
night. Several ot us took quite a lively In
terest In him and tried to help him along.
I don't know much about his former career
except that he was In the army. He mar-
tied this girl when he returned to England.
His ambition waa to become a missionary ,
but she was always opposed to anything of
the kind. Then he decided to come to
America.
"Ho had found that there was the best
kind ot field for missionary work right
hero In New York , nnd gave up the Idea of
going to China or India. Irvine really dU
some remarkable work among the llowery
lodging houses , and Dr. Parkhurst mads him
the patter of the Church ot Land and Sea ,
which U a sailors' and tenement mission.
Uut Mr ? . Irvine had no sympathy with his
work and began going from bad to worse.
Her conduct became simply unbearable and
It spoiled his work as a missionary. People
knew of his wife's loose ways , and he could
put no spirit Into his work. We told him
the best thing to do was to get a divorce ,
for I am sure- there were plenty of grounds.
The suit waa brought and Mrs. Irvine said
she didn't care whether he got It or not.
Uut when It came up for a hearing she ap
peared. In court , and on our motion It was
postponed so that ehe could get a lawyer and
make a defense. It wai postponed then
until after the summer vacation , but Mr.
Irvlno decided to resign from the pulpit of
the Church of S a and Land and went to
Omalia. The case Is still on the docket ,
hut has never been brought up. I dU , not
know before that he bad filed a bill In
Omaha. "

morning a hack containing Sheriff Mllllken ,
Deputy Tealo and Charlie Carlcton drove up
to the Elkhorn depot. Word had been given
out that Carleton would not be taken to Lin

more peoplu than usual at the depot. The
prisoner was very soon recognized by his
acquaintances , and a great many peoplt
crowded around to see him. He talked and
laughed with his friends as though he were
only going away on a few days' trip , and
seemed wholly unconperned about what the
future had In store for him. Ho seemed
much Interested In what was going on
around him , showed no trace of any emotion
or feeling as he did Saturday afternoon when
Informed of the action ot the governor , nnd
were It not for thu presence of the sheriff
and deputy and the heavy handcuffs ho had
on no one would have thought that ho was
leaving his old home with a probability of
never being a free man again. As the train
pulled out Carleton called out goodbye to
some of his friends In as careless , lighthearted -
hearted a manner as though he were going
to Lincoln for a pleasure trip.
