(livi-H F|> II. r liiiKlmnil That Ho May Woil tho Woman Ho Lore*. San Francisco, March .7—Mrs. Char lotte Perkins-Stetson has applied in Oak land for a divorce from Charles Walter Stetson, and it is said there is a romance hack of it, a romance in which a woman surrenders Jter husband in order that ho may wed anothor. whom ho loves. Mr. Stetson is an artist of Providence, R. I. His wife is president of tlio Pa cific Coast Women's Press association and editor of their journal, The Impress. The third character in tho romance is said to be Grace Ellory Chauning, poet and writer, the daughter of Dr. Chan- ning, the scientist. Five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Stetson resided at Pasad>na, California. Tho Channings were their neighbors. Tho two women became fast friends, and thus Miss Chanuing often met Mr. Stet son. Mrs. Stetson, it is said, was first to discover the regard her husband grow to have for MDs Chanuing, but her love for the man whose name she bore was umliiniuished. She counselled with Miss t in lining and with her husband, and tiio result, it is said, was an agreement that is now being carried out. t 'pon his return to Providence, R. 1., Mr. Stetson applied for divource on tho ground of desertion. Miss Chanuing went to Europe and Mrs. Stetson re moved to Oakland, vvhero she became known through writing and public speaking. A year ago the Providence courts de cided against Mr. St Don. for the reason that there had been no estrangement.be tween him and his wife. .Mrs. Stetson is a grandniece of Henry W ard Beecher. THAVELEHS OF THE SKY. A K* Morv «»f I lit* anil K©- turn of a Stork. I heard one Hminer a true story, 'Yhich wus narrated by a clergyman to a group of young folks on a hotel piazza. 1 shall not tell his name Ix*- catisi* ] know the stovy better than the historian. Sewral years ago this gentleman was living in the German capital with his family. There were many new sighbs and sounds to interest the American family, but nothing more | la einating Ilian the colony of white i storks which settled on the adjacent housetops and made a bird village of the nestled chimney stacks. The birds had such an air of pro- i pi ictorship and general coziness that ! some member of the family insisted that that particular part of the city v. as the regular summer homo of i these tourists, who returned to their old quarters each season in human fashion. This idea was not accepted as fact, and there were many specu lations as to some imssiblo means of testing the theory. Not being up in Mui stork language, no one could ask questions and get answers, neither could any mortal remember the fine points of stork physiognomy from year to year. A plan was finally decided upon, and one particularly aristocratic ! monarch-of-all-I survey looking bird was enticed by a good dinner into the 1 garden. There was a silver ring j P 1 "vd about his leg, on which was c ■ raved “Berlin, 188S.” H h then | *leback to bis favorite chimney, and ere long ho joined the passing flocks that were constantly leaving Washington, March 7.—Some minor routine business preceded the resnmp- tion of debate on the pension appropria tion bill in the house. Quito a heated discussion was preclpi- ted at the beginning of the session over a resolution instructing the secretary of the nnx*y to appoint a naval cadet from the fifth South Carolina district. It seemed that Strait, the representative from that district, failed to appoint a cadet and tho secretary of the navy ap pointed one and charged to that district a young man from Alabama. It developed that in several other cases the secretary of the navy had fille 1 the vacancies from tho districts with resi dents of other districts and there was a manifest disposition on the part of the members of tho house to resent what they considered an infringement of their rights. Tho speaker, however, rnlod the discussion out of order and Mr. Hop kins, of Illinois, demanded the regular order. Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, from the committee on judiciary asked unani mous consent for the consideration of a resolution directing an investigation by that committee of writs to tho injunction issued by United States Judge Jenkins on behalf of tlio Farmers’ Loan and Trust company, against tho Northern Pacific Railroad company. There were no objection and tho resolution was adopted. Senator HiU'* ItcNulution. Mr. Hill offered a resolution in the the senate that Whereas, the secretary of tlio treasury has announced a deficit of sIK.uon.noo for the current fiscal year, and whereas, tlio Wilson bill proposes to discard Jlti,000,000 of revenue from the present taxes and meet the dufineicncy by new internal and direct taxes. Be it Resolved, That the finance'com mittee be instructed to frame an amend ment to said hill omitting the internal and direct taxes newly proposed, and instead thereof make provision for a snllicient rev enue hy taxing other foreign imports and otherwise revising the tariff without cre ating a deficiency. He asked that it be laid on the table for the present. Mr. Harris moved a second mailing of the seigniorage bill and said there was no more earnest advocate of tho silvet coinage than himself, bnt believing as ho had that there was at least one ques tion that should take precedence of its consideration. Without any breach of confidence he was able to state the committee on finance was on the very eve of reporting the tariff bill. He, therefore, objected to further proceedings of the seignorage bill. Under that objection he claimed the bill would go to tho calendar. Discussion followed, under an arrango- mont made during tho debate. Mr. Stewart did not press his motion to take up the Bland bill, but gave notice that he would make a motion at some other hour." Clovelnml on the Way Homo.
