There has bwn trouble In my family
for years- because of Mm. Coulter' bad
temper," declared Dr. V. K. Coulter, who
on the witness stand yesterday
in hla divorce proceeding.
"Mrs. Cmiltor'a father, Mr. Coy. aild
that he never would Rive hla permission
far Mra. Coulter to again live with me,"
continued the doctor.
Mr. Coy waa on the stand Just prior to
Pr. Coulter, but nothing Important was
developed from hla testimony.
Coulter'a name repeatedly has been con
nected with that of Mrs. E. Tostlvan dur
ing this trial, it having been rumored that
he sustained relations with her which
bordered on the questionable. . Attempts to
nvikri It appear that them relations were
ITiicit ceased soon after' the beginning of
the trial, the court holding that such
testimony was not pertinent to the case
In view of the grounds set forth in the
petition. To keep away from thl subject,
however, has seemed an impossibility, aa
attested by the fact that Dr. Coulter waa
asked during the morning:
''DU you ever go to Mrs. Tostlvan'a
bouse to see her aloneT"
I never did."
"When you visited her house, what day
was It as a rule?"
"Most always on Sunday."
"Did you ever meet Mra. Tostlvan down
town and take her Into a drug store and
buy a soda for her?
, Meet Bfot by Arrangement.
"I did. I waa atandlng on the corner
waiting for a street car when I noticed
Mrs. Tostlvan across the atreet. She also
waa waiting for a car and t asked her
into a drug store, which was near at hand,
and there I bought and we drank a soda."
"Was that . meeting prearranged or
accidental?"
"It was not prearranged."
The' attorney for the defense then went
Into some. of. the details relative to Dr.
'Coulter's sojourn of a year In London.
"What did It cost you a week to live
In Londor.f"
"In ttio neighborhood of W."
"Did you spend much money while you
were there?"
"I did not."
"fou purchased a dress suit while there,
ol you not?" '
; -I did."
-What did It cost?"
"Four pounds."
"How much Is that in our money?".
"Nearly 30."
"You also took some of the nurses from
the hospital to the theater, did you not?"
'1 Joined a party which went from the
hospital to the theater."
. Sit on Different Porches.
' "I suppose that's what you purchased
that dress suit for, was It not, doctor."
, This question waa not allowed.
The attorney then reverted to the
examination in chief in which Dr. Coulter
bad testified that previous to the beginning
of the action for a dlvoroe It waa his
wife's custom to seat herself on the back
porch of their house while he was seated
on the front porch.
"Ia it not true, doctor, that Mrs. Coulter
waa doing " her own housework at that
time?"
"I think she did."
"And la It not true that she waa under
the necessity of wearing clothes during
that time which would not have been
presentable on the front porch?"
"IX may have been, but so far aa that
is concerned she hardly ever changed her
c.thee." .
It also was shown by the doctor's
testimony that In the petition which was
filed for a divorce, by himself, In 1902, it
was stated that Mrs. Coulter "had
demanded and had been paid wages."
RUMOR OF MOVING IS DENIED

POST GARDENS DOING WELL
System Reported la Prosperous Con
dition and Will Be Extended
This Year.
A tabulated report of the post gardens at
the United States military posts in the
Department of the Missouri for the past
year shows a very encouraging condition.
There are eight posts in the department
where gardens wero maintained. These
are Fort Logan II. Roots, Ark., Fort
Reno. I. T., Fort Bill, Okla., Fort Riley,
Fort Leavenworth, Fort Crook, Robinson
and Niobrara.
At these several posts and reservations
the total amount of land brought under
cultivation was 1R1 acres. There were
110 men employed In the work and 191,730
pounds of vegtablea produced at an ap
proximate value of $20,000. There were
expended for seed $1,260 and for tools and
other miscellaneous Items $300. The
approximate average of produce raised
was 6,000 pounds per acre.
The apparent excessive Cost for seed Is
explained In the fact that the gardens at
Forte ' Leavenworth and Riley were
destroyed by the floods of last year and
had to be replanted.
The gardening system will -be much
extended during the present year and the
preparatory work will begin shout April 1.

Vale! Yale! Yale!
The intonation of an ear-splitting Tsle
slogan penetrated every corner of the city
bastlle. Dosing policemen sat up and rubbed
th sleep out of their eyes and prison
ers cursed at having their unrest disturbed
at dawn.
"Wot fell?" ejaculated Jailor Kirk,
waked from a comfortable snoose In the
nlffht sergeant's chair, "some of them
blitherln' Idiots tryln' t' play football out

The Jail doors clanked as he stepped Into
the cell room to ascertain, followed by sev
eral curious bluecoat.
In cell No. 1, more commodious than the
rest In being provided with benches while
th others have none, and consequently re
served for distinguished prisoners, an ex
traordinary spectacle was taking place.
Two young men with the dirt-spotted ap
parel and the unkempt hair that bespoke
an hilarious "night before," sat on the
floor with arms about each other's shoul
ders. This time they were trying to sing,
"Comrades," full of barber-shop minora.
The policemen had to be told that this
was class reunion of part of the class of
'90, Sheffield scientific school, Yale, and
thereby hangs a tale good enough for the
story book.
Parting; of Classmates.
When the class wss graduated at New
Haven in the spring of 1890 there were a
good many reluctant adieus by men who
were daily associates. One was a man who
has been a prominent city official In Omaha
since and the other a man from Detroit
whose father was a wealthy physician.
"Oood-bye, old man, we'll have a re
union sometime pretty quick," was the
parting promise by both fourteen years sgo.
The reunion came Tuesday under strange
circumstances.
The physician's son drifted Into the news
paper business and got out of a Job and
down on his luck. Coming to Omaha he
drowned disappointment in not getting
work in drink. The officers of the law
gathered him In and placed him In the
"distinguished visitors" cell to come to.
Later In the evening there was another
"distinguished visitor" In the person of the
former city official.
A "seal brown taste" and a "bulling
dome" waked the cx-clty official first. He
looked at his vis-vis and gasped.
"Got "em this time, sure," he muttered.
"When you get to seein" old palsy's time
to swear off."
While the ex-clty official was still pinch
ing himself to see If he was awake, the
physician's son groaned and sat up. Hla
eyes widened like saucers.
"Shade of Nebuchadnesser," he muttered,
"how did you get it here?"
Two graduates of Yale in the class of
1B90 straightway fell Into each other's arms
prey to great Joy. Td celebrate the occa
sion fittingly they perpetrated the col'ege
yell. The reunion lasted till the police
magistrate came down in the morning and
released them on probation.
SPEAKER GULLY TO RETIRE
Presiding; Officer of the House of Com.
mens to Receive a. Peerage
and a. Pension.
Mr. Gully, grandson of that John Gully
who waa so famous as a prizefighter,
bookmaker, race horse owner and Derby
winner In the early year of Queen Vic
toria's reign, has announced his Inten
tion of refusing to offer himself for re
election as speaker of the House of Com
mons on the completion of his present
term. He has held office for nearly nine
years, and will on his retirement receive,
as usual, a pension for the remainder of
his life of $20,000 a year, together with a
peerage, which In the case of ex-speakers
Invariably takes the form of a viscounty.
It is possible that the "First Commoner
in the Land," a title, which the speaker
of the House of Commons holds by virtu
of a statute enacted several centuries ago,
may resign before the dissolution of the
present Parliament, and a good deal of
tory pressure Is being brought in an In
direct way to bear upon him in order to
Induce him to do this. For It would en
able the. tortes, who possess a large ma
jority Jn the present House, to elect one
of their own party to the vacant chair.
It Is a singular fact that for the last
seventy years the speakers of the House
of Commons have all been liberals, this
being due to the fact that the liberals
were usually in office when the chair was
vacant. It Is a matter of etiquette that
aa lonfe aa a speaker offers himself for re
el.tctlon on the opening of a new Parlia
ment he should be accepted without any
contest, even If he belongs to th party
which Is In opposition; that Is to say, In
numerical minority In the House. In fact,
contests for the speakership are relatively
rare, and ths last five or six speakers
of the House of Commons have In each
Instance, when first elected, been chosen
without any opposition. In the event of
Speaker Gully resigning before the dis
solution of Parliament, th next speaker
will be nominated by conservatives, who
are now In power, and would be a tory;
whereas. If Mr. Gully defers his retire
ment until after the dissolution and
merely announces, when ths next Parlia
ment meets, that he does not offer him
self for re-election, and If the liberals
wer to carry the day at the polls and
to have a majority In the new House, the
next speaker xwould undoubtedly be one
mora a liberal.
Th sptaker of the English House of Com
mons la a very magnificent functionary,
and has sometimes been declared to be the
most powerful personage of ths British
Empire. For the latter Is governed by
Parliament, representing th ,wlll of th
people, ajid by ministers of state, repre
aentlng th majority of votes In the House
of Commons, snd it Is th speaker who is
ths supreme authority of ths Utter. He
can suspend a member; ha can stop the
prime minister on a point of procedure;
he can close a debate; he can decide the
most momentous constitutional questioos by
a few words spoken in private conference;
h can overrule the cabinet on points which
may be vital to Its policy. ,nd which msy
sltner enhance or discredit the authority
of ths Houae. and It ia he alone who de
termines who U to speak and who is to

SAILOR'S SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Fell Into the Orean from a Broken
Yard and a Shark Nipped
Oft Hla Leg.
E. Baero, master of the bark Margharlta,
through his attorneys, Messrs. Adams A
Adams, has answered the petition for dam
ages filed In the United States court at
Savannah, several days ago by Juan de la
Crus Sllva Martinex.
The suit Is the outcome of one of the
most unu.iual accidents ever recorded on
the sea, and the fact that the victim es
caped, with his life is looked on as little
short of a miracle.
In hia petition for damages Martinet
said that he sailed from plsagua. Chli,
July 21, on the bark Margharlta. bound
for Savannah. During a storm, while the
bark waa some miles off the coast of the
Falkland Islands, he was ordered aloft to
reef a sail. When he reached the yardarm
and started to perform the hazardous job
the yardarm gave way, and he was plunged
Into th sea. Aa he sank a shark or some
other sea monster bit one of his legs off.
He was rescued frrni the water almost
dead from loss of blood and tho severe
shock to his nervous system.
Martlnex claims that his fall Into the
sea was In the discharge of his duty, and
was caused by the Insecure manner In
which the yardarm was fastened, which
was the fault of the ship owners. He al
leges that though tho bark was within a
few miles of the coast and that there were
no physicians on board, and he was sore'.y
In need of medical attendance, no effort
was made to put Into port and secure the
proper treatment for him. His leg was en
tirely severed, and Martlnes claims he ts
forever Incapacitated to serve as a seaman.
He asked that ha be given Judgment
against the bark and the owners for
$5,000.
In his answer Captain Baero admits that
the plaintiff sailed as set ut in his peti
tion, also that he fell from one of the
spars Into the water and had his leg bitten
off by some sea monster, but he denies
that the fall was duo to any carelessness
of the ship owners -or Its agents. It Is
claimed that at the time the accident oc
curred the bark was 1.600 miles from a port,
and that everything possible waa done for
the comfort and care of the Injured man.
It Is In the narrative of Martlnes that
the real horror of such an ordeal as he
went through Is truly depicted. He can
scarcely speak English, but In his descrip
tion one not at a'.l familiar with the Span
ish language can supply with imagination
what some of hla excited sentences mean.
Martlnes hobbles about on his crutch. "I
never want to go to sea in a sailing vessel
again," he said. "I shall never forget that
night," and then he related the story.
"We were selling oft the coast of th
Falkland , islands,' somewhere, when a
heavy gale struck us," he said. "I was
ordered to go aloft' and reef a sail. The
masts were whipping about like reeds,
and It waa all that j( couU do to keep from
being snapped Into the water. When I
reached the yardarm and prepared to reef
the flapping sail, I felt something give
way and down I went. I seemed to have
fa!len a mile before I struck the water.
As I felt the sea close above me and I
went down and down into the waters,
which 'were even darker than the night
Itself, I gave up all hope of life.
"As I was rising to the surface again I
felt a powerful pressure on my leg. Quick
aa a flash I drew mV knees up to me, put
ting one against the head of the sea
monster' In an endeavor to break his hold.
This seemed to Infuriate him, and he com
menced shaking me as a bull terrier would
a rat. I had no instrument that would be
effective against such a powerful monster,
but In sheer desperation I pulled out a
small pocketknlfe that I had and made an
effort to strike with It I was strangling,
and my strength was fast leaving me. 1
began to lose consciousness, and I could
feel the bona in my leg being crushed. I
felt something give way as I neared the
surface, bu. never had an Idea that my leg
was gone. As I rose to the top I saw a
light up above, and knew that I was at
the side of the bark. I called as loudly as
I could,' and was finally haulod aboard,
where I lost consciousness. When I came
to my leg waa missing, and they told me
that I was in that' condition when they
fished me out of the water." Savannah
