NEW DIVORCE TOWN.
Divorce Mecca Is Shifted From Sioux
Falls to Reno , Nev.
New York , March 31. Society has
ordained that Reno , Nov. , is the proper
temporary abode In which to obtain
a divorce with the least possible
amount of publicity The relatives
don't know what to make of It
Mlsmated New Yorkers are flock
ing there daily and dispatches from
the Nevada city say that If the Influx
from all directions continues It will
be necessary to build more hotels , so
great is the demand for one year
leases on rooms and houses.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , recently was de
prived of the divorce Industry by the
people of the state , who voted that
they had suffered enough from un
pleasant notoriety
For a few days restless members of
the four hundred were In a quandary ,
but their legal advisers notified them
that Nevada's laws were the easiest
ever framed Promptly Reno became
the Mecca of those having soulmates ,
affinities , or chronic cases of "Incom
patibility of temperament , "

ENDSHER LIFE
Mrs , Pierre Lorillard Commits
Suicide In Washington.
FOUND LIFELESS ON FLOOR ,
Tragic Death of Wife of Tobacco Mag
nate Shocks First Social Circles of
National Capital Wearies of Gay
Whirl of Society.
Washington , March 26. Weary of
the gay whirl of society and face to
lace , as she believed , with years of
physical suffering , Mrs. Pierre Lorll-
lard , Jr. , aged forty-nine , wile of the
tobacco magnate , committed suicide
by asphyxiation nt her home near the
fashionable Dupont circle in this city.
Her tragic death has shocked the first
social circles of the capital as nothing
else in jenrs. The members of the
Lorlllard family , famous because of Us
weakh , are gathering here to mourn
6yer tTio unexpected , blow. In spite of
the coroner's certificate of death by
suicide , members of the family declare
Mrs. Lorlilard died'of heart { allure.
The death was made more dramatic
by occurring only a few hours after
Mr. and Mrs. Lorlllard had been the
guests of Mrs. Townsend , on Massa
chusetts avenue , at a dinner given In
honor of Lady Pagot. In fact , It is
believed that as soon as Mrs. Lorlllard
arrived at her home at 2'30 ' Hlllyer
place , shortly after midnight , she begun -
gun to prepare for her death
About 8:30 : a. m. the butler in the
Lorlllard residence detected an odor
of gas permeating the rooms. With
little difficulty the origin of the fumes
was traced to Mrs. Lorlllard's apart
ments. Opening the door of the bath
room , just off of her suite , the butler
was horrified to behold the body of
the mistress of the house stretched
out lifeless on the floor. Her face
was turned to the mat on the floor.
Mrs. Lorlllard left a note which the
coroner has seen , but which Mr. Lorll-
lard has declined to give his permis
sion for It to be made public. While
addressed to no one , it Is said , It Is
personal In Its nature. It Is under
stood that It contains no intention on
f'e part of Mrs. Lorlllard to take her
life.
.vlrs. Lorlllard was subject to fre
quent attacks of despondency , It is
said. Mr. Lorillard stated that In his
opinion the death of his wife was not
due to suicidal Intent , but was the re
sult of an accident. He is said to
have denlea that his wife left a note.
Mrs. Lorlllard before her marriage
to Mr. Lorlllard in 1881 was Miss Caroline
line J. Hamilton. She Is survived by
two sons , one of whom Is now travel
ing in the Orient and the other is In
college In New York.
Since the Lorlllards began spending
the winter social season In Washing
ton they have entertained largely
They were prominent In the social and
diplomatic life of the capital.

Dick Richards Quits Crawford.
Huron , S. D. , April 1. The followIng -
Ing open letter Is being sent out by
President R. O. Richards , of the Re
publican state primary league to the
members of the organization through ,
out the state :
Huron , S. D. , March 2(5 ( , 100 ! ) . Sen
ator Coe I. Crawford , U. S. Senate ,
Washington , I ) . C. ; I write to Inform
you that I can no longer co-operate
with you politically.
Whatever admixture of unconscious
motives may have constialned mo In
my previous support of your candid
acy for the United States senate , 1
have always considered the Interest of
the Individual members of society as
my paramount aim. Following that
aim , my efforts for better methods of
choosing public servants have been
sincere.
Though Incieaslngly aware of your
shortcomings during our close associa
tion In the past six years , 1 have con
stantly hoped that you would show
your devotion to the Ideals the people
seek In their struggle to make the
powers of goveinment more closely
responsive to their will , by exerting
yourself In helping rather than dis
couraging genuine reform.
1 am now convinced that you care
more for the personal advantages of
your position than you do for the op
portunity that position brings you , to
promote the growth In our slate of a
healthy public Interest , which will not
toletato secret influence In the con
trol of our politics.
I bear to you no personal Ill-will ;
but I regret that you have completely
side-stepped from the logical carryIng -
Ing out of the principles our organiza
tion labored for. I therefore no longer
consider that you have a claim on my
loyalty.
llencofoith you and I may strive
for different ends , each one aa he
himself thinks best. Truly ,
R. O. Richards.
Fight Over Norfolk Girl.
Sioux City , March 31. Considerable
excitement was caused at the Northwestern -
western passenger depot when Mrs.
Alary Mulligan of 215 Sixth street ,
Sioux City , and Miss Freda Slier of
Newcastle , Neb. , each tugging at
eight-yotir-old Grace Mulligan , fought
for her possession.
Mrs. Mulligan had hold of the
child's shoulders , while Miss Slier
held fast to her feet , each woman tryIng -
Ing to break the other's hold In order
to secure the child. Meantime the
little girl was screaming from pain.
Releasing the child , Mrs. Mulligan
waded Into Miss Slier and was giving
her a thrashing when Patrolman Over-
mier , who was at the lunch counter ,
appeared on the scene and sent both
women and little Grace to police
headquaitcrs.
Loaned the Child.
Mrs. Mulligan , mother of tli * * child ,
told the police that her husband eloped
with a telephone operator from Nor
folk , Neb. , two years ago , leaving her
destitute with three children. About
ten months ago times were so hard
that she permitted Miss Slier to take
her daughter Grace to keep for a
while , but when she attempted to get
her back Miss Slier told Her that the
laws of Nebraska gave a child , aban
doned by Its parents , to tlie person
who had held possession for a period
of six months.
The matter was taken before the1
Nebraska courts and Mrs. Mulligan
lost. Following this an attempt t-rv
kidnap the chUd was frustrated by
relatives of Miss Slier.
Yesterday morning Miss Slier , ac
companied by the child , came to Sioux
City to do some shopping. Learnm1 : ;
of this , Mrs. Mulligan stationed her
self at the depot to await the appear
ance of Miss Slier and Grace , and
when they entered the waiting room
the mother grabbed her daughter and
attempted to rim away with her.
Like Tug of War.
Quick as lightning Miss Slier follow
ed , clutching the child by the feet and
the two women tugged away for the
possession of the child for several
minutes.
At police headquarters Miss Slier de
clared that Mrs. Mulligan had deserted
Grace and that the courts of Ne
braska had given the child to her.
Denying this , Mrs. Mulligan demanded
that Grace bo retained in the custody
of the police until the matter could
bo settled by the Iowa courts.
Finally Miss Slier agreed to renuiln
overnight In Sioux City to havn the
question settled , so she was allowed
to go , taking the child with her.
Miss Slier spent the night nt the
Arcade hotel , but when officers went
there In the morning to servo a war
rant , charging her with enticing the
child away from its mother , which had
been sworn out by Mrs. Mulligan , she
could not be found. A child's hat was
found in the room , but the supposition
Is that Miss Slier has returned to Ne >
braska.
Mrs. George Mulligan was deserted
In Norfolk a little over two years ago
by her husband , but there is no local
record that he eloped with a telephone-
operator. Instead ho ran off with a
circus , leaving the wife destitute and
with three small children.
Mulligan or Mllllgan as ho was
sometimes known , worked for several
months for Paul Nordwtg as a harness
maker. Ho was raised in Stanton
county and ran a harness shop there
and worked in Crelghton before com
ing here. Ho also worked at Wayne.
Mulligan deserted his wlfo twice In
Norfolk and was once brought back
on the charge of wife desertion.
Neighbors and church people helped
the wife , who lived on Eighth street
and also on Fifth near the Lutheran
church ,
Mulligan lost different positions ns
a harness maker on account of dis
honest practices. Ho was discharged
from the Nordwlg shop and after
wards reh I red on account of the family
being without food or coal. The wlfo
and children are said to have remain
ed In Norfolk until about a year ago.
