C I! n's ft 0111 Mr. Saj lor of Nelson, It is known us Iho old HrnryDrubakor pltico. Corn is cribbed on till sides now, and Is a good yield. their sides as Carter can. Freedom to him means not as much relief from tho torriblo associations behind tho bars as the opportunity to prove to his fellow citizens that ho was unjustly convicted. In the federal court at Chicago Car- tor's fortune of 677'2,(XX) is tied up. TUo government did not seize it until after Mr. Wescott, Carter's fathor-ln-law, 11 millionaire, had tiled. Carter says Wescott gave him the fortune us the sharo Mrs Carter would have received had death not taken her away. Tho government claims this fund is tho proceeds of fraudulent collusion be tween Carter, as supervising engineer, and tho contractors Guyuni'tv. Greene, on the Savannah harbor government work. Carter says ho will bo ablo to prove tho history of every bond in tho fund and to show that Westcott bought many of them even before ho know Carter. Every dollar will bo traced by tho ex-olllcer to show that not a cent of It is stolen money. His statement, issued by his lawyer, reads well uud promises success. Tho civil trial will permit Carter to ' one, aud there Is much merrymaking introduce testimony barred by tho .and laughter. Tho is no lack of monoy in tho Kemp family. They havo lived in an atmos phoro of cut flowers and hothouse delicacies. Tho grounds of her suit, wore neglect uud refusal to provide tho necessaries of life. Judge E. C. Dubois granted a decree. Enter Hollis II. Huiiiiowoll, who at once secured a marriugo license and then hied himself to Greor cnttago, where ho became the husband 0' Mrs. Kemp, Judge Dubois performing tho marriage ceremony. There wore eleven guests present at tho wedding, live of whom had been through the dlvorco court How soon tho .-est will air their soiled linen the Lord only knows. Ono of tho most serious charges against tho fashionable life is that It in no way teaches or holds that marri ago is a permauetit contract In tho humbler homos tho separation of a muu and woman is a tragedy. In "society" it is often tho result of u whim. In tho cottage a dlvorco means tears and blooding hearts, aud sotnu timet a deep and lasting sonso of dis grace. In tho palace, madam intro duces her now husband to tho cast oft' arbitrary manners of a military court. "To err Is human" and it is by no means improbable that Carter will win tho suit and thus vindicate him self in tho oyes of tho ppoplo. Courts martial aro notoriously affected in their judgments byMssues which havo no direct bearing on the caso they aro trying. Is it possiblo that Carter was tho victim of a horrible mistake? Do you wondor that humanity sneers at the wisdom of courts aud tit tho in tegrity of some of those who wear judicial robes? ItllEUMATISM UUKKD IN A UAV.
