Seawell on the ground of drunkenness, wife-beat- ing and general brutality. The testimony was taken before Commissioner J. T. Ty- ler, and the hearing was liberal. The findings show defendant in the light of & wife-beater, and on those findings the ties of matrimony were severed. The testimony was that from the date of their wedding, March 8, 1%01, the de- fendant began a flendish career of chok ing and beating. He throttled her, struck her and dragged her upstairs. At Sac- ramento, where they went on visit, he came home brutally drunk and chased | his bride about with a pistol. At Healds- burg the same experience confronted the wife. At another time, when they lived in a boarding-house in San Francisco, Seawell ran after the woman he had | sworn to protect, brandishing a razor, and she took refuge in the room of a woman friend, as she was afraid of be- ing killed. i Once when she was cooking dinner he | came home drunk and struck her, almost ; knocking her down. Numerous witnesses | of the different assaults gave testimony on the subject, and the Judge at once set | her free. Albert Cirimele wants to be divorced | from Mary Cirimele on grounds of cruelty and desertion. He alleges that they were | married April 28, 1902, and three weeks | afterwards she commenced to abuse him | in an outrageous manner before his| friends, calling him vile names. He states | that once she brandished a knife and' threatened to kill him and told him to pack his things and leave the house for-| ever, as she would hot occupy the status | of wife to him any more. He alleges that in order to further humillate him she went to work in a cannery, although he | was able to and did provide bountifully | “for her, even going so far as to give her | all of his wages, and she now refuses to | admit him to her house and also refuses | to come to him.

KNIGHT OF ROAD STILL OPERATING Golden Gate Park Is the BScene of Another Daring Holdup. Samuel Irving Saves Coin by Strategy and Suspect Is Arrested. BEENCE VN Samuel Irving, & well known insurance broker residing at 1918 Sutter street, is the latest victim of the knight of the mask and pistol, who has been operating in Golden Gate Park, and it was due to his presence of mind that the robber did not secure anything of value. The audaclous crime took place last evening shortly after 8 o'clock within a stone’s throw of the Park Police Station, M. Sweet, a clerk employed in a hotel conducted by Mrs. Friend at 507 California street, was taken into custody, The hold-up occurred on the bridge on the south drive directly opposite the Haight-street entrance to the park while Irving was on his way to visit Superin- tendent McLaren at the Park Lodge. As he passed the bridge a man wearing a white mask and holding in his hand an ominous looking revolver stepped out from a clump of bushes and commanded Irving o_deliver his valuables, Irving at first thought of giving up his purse, but on second thought decided to use a little strategy, 80 he threw his matchbox on the road. As the footpad stooped to pick up what he thought was a purse Irving suddenly darted toward the path leading to Stanyan street. In his excitement he came in contact with a barbed wire fence and sustained a severe laceration of the left hand. He continued on his way, however, and meeting Patrol- men Willlams and Anderson notified them of the affair. The officers immediately returned to the scene and instituted a search for the criminal. Frederick M. Sweet, the man in custody, was found near the scene and the fact that he could not give a satisfactory ex- planation of his movements and that a loaded revolver was found in his posses- slon warranted the officers taking him into custody, Sweet maintains that he is not guilty and claims that he had been visiting an acquaintance who resides on the south side of the park and was on his way to the cars when arrested. Inquiry at the boarding-house conduct- ed by Mrs. Friend at 307 California street elicited the information that Sweet was employed there in the capacity of a clerk and has always borne‘an excellent repu- tatlon. Owing to the excitement of the situation Irving could not give a clear description of the man with the gun, but will be given an opportunity to-day to identify the suspect. L e e e ) 000 COMMUNITY ON 1RISH GOAST a History That Is Unknown. I returned lately from that strange re- ing to pronounce the name accurately. I will try to translate it lower down, but must attend to the place itself first. Prob- ably not one in five thousand London peo- ple has ever heard of it. It s a populous peninsula, over four miles long, running from the Atlantic in- land—a strange arrangement for a penin- sula, but not stranger than %ther facts connected with Muckanaghederdauhaulia. The sea comes in on one side by the base of the peninsula, goes round its point and back nearly to the base on the other side, leaving it connected with the mainland. That. is how the peninsula comes to run from the coast toward the interior. The inhabitants speak a language which is sald to be very ancient, and which is almost unknown in civilization except among a few professors on the Continent Kingdom. Among all the Muckanagheder- dauhaulians, I heard of only two who | could speak any other language, and only one who could read or write. This was a child, the only inhabitant that had ever been to school. I made extensive inqui- ries about this, assisted by local guides and by my knowledge of the native lan- guage, but could not find a trace of more than one inhabitant having been to school, It is a fact that there is no school on the peninsula, although there is one on the DR.

Diseased Nerves Are Directly Digestion—Poor Digestion Is Directly Traceable to Poor Traceable to Catarrh. ISS NETTIE NIEMANN, White Mound, Wis., writes: The Peruna Medicine Co., Co- lumbus, Ohio : ““I have been afflicted since child- hood with a most unpleasant catarrh of the head. Nothing | did seemed to cure me, and when I caught a cold my troubles increased. While visiting a friend | learned the real value of Pe- runa. | had often heard it praised, but never paid serious attention fo it. My friend, however, had been cured of catarrh by Peruna, and | decided to use it faithfully and await results. I am glad to say that my greatest ex- pectations were realized and | was surprised to find how readily | was cured and how speedily. Within a month all the catarrh was out of my system and | have not been troubled a particle since. | do recommend Peruna for catarrh.””—Miss Nettie Niemann. Catarrh of the head is liable to spread to other organs. It is the direct cause of many severe stomach derangements. Catarrh of the stomach and nervousness 80_hand in hand. Nervousness is a vague term which covers all of those aliments which re- sult from a bloodless condition of the nerve centers. Systemic catarrh is very “Since Early Womanhood | Was Fretful, Nervous and Irri- table—Pe-ru-na and fret me any more. Since Peruna restored me. Hattie Grace. frequently the cause of this condition. Every mucous membrane in the body is slightly deranged by systemic catarrh. This leads to a complete demoralization of the digestive and assimilative organs, | and a bloodless condition of the nerve centers ensues. Nervousness is the re- sult; fretfulness, irritability, worry, complaining—all of these mental condi- tions result from starved nerve centers. The only cure is to remove the ca- tarrhal condition of the mucous mem- brape. Peruna is the remedy that will do this. Peruna is not a nervine nor a quieting medicine. Peruna cures just the condi- tion—catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh of the internal organs, and the nervousness disappears. The more nervines one takes for ner- vousness the more nervous he is. There is always a cause for nervousness. This cause should be discovered and reme- died. Nervines are unneceseary.

By road, however, the distance is more than nine miles, and there is no other way to the school. It has been several times proposed to build a viaduct over the sound, but the natives have always opposed it on the ground that it might hinder a local industry in illicit spirit, which has flourished there! from time immemorial. HOW THEY DRESS. The male Muckanaghederdauhaulian's dress consists solely in two coarse woolen garments, a jacket and a kind of trous- | ers, spun and woven by hand. Some of the less poor men wear also shirts, gen- erally cheap cotton, sent out from Man- chester. Some wear boots. As among the backward races of the world, the women's dress is less elaborate. very seldom wear boots, and those that ! priests themselves. HOW IT RETAINS POPULATION. Another curiously Irish phenomenon: This region in Connemara keeps up its population, while the people are flying rapidly from the best lands in Ireland. For example, the population of Muck- anaghederdauhaulia has remained prac- tically the same since 1881, while that of Navan Union, in Meath, which has a val- uation of about £7 per head, and includes some of the best land in the United King- dom, has diminished by nearly 20 per cent in the same period. This is no isolated accident, but a strong example of a state of things which is general throughout the country, graduated according to the re- sources. The people multiply on misery, and fly from wealth throughout agricul- tural Ireland from one end to the other. Irish-speaking people have long looked on the English language as n means to do don’t seem to know how to lace them [emigrate, and many have learned it main- on. The children are always barefooted, and some of them are all but naked, even in the severity of winter, up to ten years of age. The family commonly live in a single small, rude apartment, with their domes- tic animals, mixing pigs, cows, goats, fowls ‘and children among straw, heath- er, and far less acceptable accumulations. In one case I saw a single bed for a fam- ily of seven, with only a few rags to cov- er them, and absolutely nothing to lie upon but a pile of bare heather. There was no chimney; the smoke was supposed to go out through a hole in the roof, but went out by the door instead, filling the hut on its way. Those who live with their beasts are the middle and upper classes; the lower classes have no beasts with which to live. A traveler who had been that way before me tells me he saw a whole family absolutely naked, but I saw nothing quite so interesting as that. SUPPOSED TO BE CHRISTIANS. The people are supposed to be Chris- tians, but there is no place of worship of any kind. The Catholic religion pre- vails on the mainland and the priests make periodical visits when the weather is fine. Fishing and a little precarious agriculture among quartz crags are the sole support of the people, who in so far as I could make out are the descendants of fugitives from wars which gave all the land worth having in that country to a conquering race. At least that s the popular belfef, but the real history of the people is little known. Nominally, at least, the place is said to be under British jurisdiction, though it is hard to believe this in view of the con- dition of the natives and the glory of the British flag. The coloring of the maps makes it British, but that is about all one can see to assoclate this region with “the greatest empire the world has known.” Such® was Muckanaghederdauhaulia when I left there last January, but on my way through the adiacent mainland I found the resources and the people even poorer, and 1 went through one district which was at least twice as poor, judg- ing from official statistics and from my own experfence alike. Yet the mainland is certainly in the British empire. Where is all this? It is in the United , in Ireland, in the county of Galway, In the center of Connemara, about halfway between Galway City and Clifden. There is a place called Derrynea, where the valuation for local government purposes is only 4s per head, as against £7 per head in the agricultural districts of Meath. The statutory qualification for a congested district is 30s per head; and it is a strange fact that the Congested Districts Board has never done anything for the agricultural population of Derry- nea, while they have continually poured money into places elght times less poor. Priests tell me this is due to their own reverend representatives on the board, but | that is a matter I'd rather leave to the Iy for that purpose. In accurate propor- tion as the English language has spread in the west and south, the population has diminished; and this is particularly no- ticeable in the various districts of Conne- mara, where the priests tell me that the main cause of the population not faling is that the people have known Irish only. In like manner education is regarded as a means of escape to some other country, and so widely established is this idea that I have lately heard it recommended by a member of Parllament, even in a district where the agricultural and other re< sources were about the average. Educa- tion in Ireland is carried bn largely for the benefit of America. Muckanaghederdauhaulia means some- thing concerning “tl pig between the two seas"—literally, “between the two I regret to say that the name, as written offictally, and as I have written it here, is a syllable short. I thought of restoring the lost syllable, but the name may be long enough without it. Some years ago a Government offictal Wwas sent to these parts to report, and one of the first questions he asked was, “What is the people’s principal means of support?” “Credit, your Honor,” was the reply. That was years ago, and now the Vvery poor have not even credit. I know one family of nine that had absolutely nothing but twenty stones of very bad po- tatoes to live on from January to July. English is the official language for agita- tion, and these people, knowing no Eng- lish, remain unnoticed by the agitator and the Government alike, while all kinds of “remedial measures” are undertaken for those who are immeasurably less * poor, but who know enough English to agitate In other parts of the country. There is a great multitude of these pa- thetic wretches, and now it is assumed that they will be made happy by becom- Ing the owners of their granite farms. It can but make them owners of permanent misery, more confirmed in all their squal- or. This applies not merely to Muckan- aghederdauhaulla, but to fully one-fourth of all the agricultural tenants in Ireland, who constitute the real “land problem,” and whose case can no more be settled by this bill than if they lived among the ice packs of the Antarctic.—London Pall Mall Gazette. —_———— Of the alphabet, the letters most fre- quently used out of every 1000 letters formed into words in daily use are first the letter E, which takes the lead, occur- ring 137 times; the next T, running $5; O, 76; 8, 5; I, T1; R, 70; N. 66; H. 65; A, 64; and L, #.
