Says He Changes on Occa- sion, Causing Her Great Sufforing. Pl SRR Just because Eugene Bishop Payntar chose to drop the name of Payntar and travel for a time as Eugene Bishop and tour the country as Guy Eugene Bishop | is one of the reasons why there was yes- | terday filed a suit for divorce by Dorothy Brockway Payntar. She has no objec- tion to the name-of Mrs. Eugene Bishop Payntar, the name she assumed when she married Payntar in Brooklyn in Jan- uary, 190, and she wants the court to declare that such is her name, but she decidedly objects to changing it almost often as her husband changes his hes. - According to Mrs. Payntar's complaint, her husband’s habit of cutting and slash- ing his name, and in consequence hers, commenced during their honeymoon, which was spent in this city. She says | she left Brooklyn as Mrs. Payntar, and that after she arrived here he compelled | her to adopt the name of Mrs. Eugene | Bishop. He told her that because of cer- taln unpleasantrics that happened dur-[ ing a former residence here he did not desire to be known by the name of Payn- | tar. This was after she had worn it for three months and as she rather liked it it shocked her greatly to have to give it up. When a few months later, she says, | compelled her to travel about with him | the name of Mrs. Guy KEugene | Bishop, the blow almost killed her. She | objected strenuously, she says, but with- out avail. She says the very idea of traveling about the country under an as- sumed name worried her to such an ex- tent that she became a physical wreck. She declares it cut her off entirely from | wer Lénds and relatives and made her | feel like an outcast. SICK IN DENVER. Mrs. Bishop was taken sick in Denver, | in 1900, she says, as a result of the strain | In the winter of 1900, | she says, and in the summer of 1901, she | suffered from nervous prostration because | of the manner in which she was com- | pelled to live, and though her husband well knew the cause of her iliness, he re- | | fused to allow her to resume her proper | She was-so sick, she says, that | home to her folks in the | She remained there for | four months and then returned to this! city, where she joined her husband. He still persisted in compelling her to travel | under a name not her own, with the re- | sult that she was again taken sick and was compelled to send for her sister to| come out here and take care of her. | Mrs. Payntar says that though her hus«| band was very particular about the name | she bore in public, he was not so choice in selecting the names he applied to her in private. His common method of ad- | dressing her was .to call her ‘“pup,”| “idiot” and “fool”. when they were alone and she says he sometimes applied these | epithets to her in ‘the presence of others. | name. she had to go summer of 1902 He would frequently, she says, threaten | | to kill her and often cursed her. All such alleged conduct, says Mrs. | Paynter, caused her the most intense suf- | | fering. She says she is a woman of re- fined and delicate sensibilities and therefore easily shocked. Her friends are is | a1so refined and sensitive, intelligent and | delicate, she says, and she suffered be- cause they were scandalized when they heard him refer to her as a pup. Payn-| | tar is also a drinking man, according to | his wife. She says In disposition he is| “morose, gloomy and ugly,” and when in | his cups would think nothing of cursing and reviling her." MERITHEW LEFT HER. Inez M. Merithew, who became the wife of Frank T. Merithew at Los Angeles in April, 1599, is seeking a divorce ‘on the | ground of desertion. She charges that he abandoned her and left her to her own devices in June, 15%. She says she was | always a loving and dutiful wife and gave | him no reason for leaving her. Fetdinand Habermacher, a_clerk, who became a benedict only last December, is | tired of the joys of matrimony. the complaint for divorce | he has filed against Esther W. Haber- macher, his blss was short lived. He says that a few days after she became | wife she began treating him with in- difference and contempt and said things | already According to | to him in the presence of outsiders thal humiliated him and caused him to suffer | keen mental agony.. He also alleges that | she left him September 9 last and on the | following day addressed a letter to him at his place of business, in which she re- | ferred to him in the most contemptuous manner possible. | L.

Lun Hop, proprietor of a Chinese laun- &ry at 88 Howard street, discovered a man on the roof of his house early yes- terday morning and sounded an alarm. Policemen Skelly and T. C. Murphy saw a man climbing down the water pipe in front and they caught him. He had en- tered the laundry by forcing open a win. dow In the rear and had made his way to the roof, with the intention, it is sup- posed, of carrying away the clothes that were being dried there.

Addresses Fruit Growers in Regard to Coming Inves= tigation. o B Manager Briggs of the California State Board of Trade has sent out a circular letter to frult growers of the State and to boards of trade and chambers of com- merce in which the resolution recently adopted by the board in reference to hav- Ing an Investigation of the fruit market is included. The text of the letter is as follows: ““The interest which the fruit growers | of California have in the thorough car-| rylng out of this resolution will, I think, | be apparent to all. It has long been an | established fact that with all the splen- did reputation of California fruit in the | Eastern market, the readiness with which | it finds sale, and the great wealth which | has been made by those handling it, the grower himself has recelved proportion- ately but a poor return. “There is certainly no lack of demand for the California product ané no good reason for believing that it should not yleld the producer a good profit, but there | is a pretty firmly established bellef that certaininterests standing between the pro- ducer and the consumer, have by man- ipulation of their varied powers and ad- vantages for their own emolument, work- ed to the disadvantage of the men who by their skill and industry have made the State's great wealth in horticultural | resource possible. PLURPOSE OF MANAGEMENT. “It is the purpose of the management of the State Board of Trade, under the resolution quoted abgve, to make such | inquiry as shall establish the cause of this manifestly unjust condition, with a view to securing a remedy and bettering the grower's position. In this connection the greatest possible assistance can be ren- dered by ‘the growers and shippers of fruit themselves, and this letter is writ- ten to you'asking your co-operation. “Will you kindly send me, at as early a date as possible, a statement of the | prices received by you for such friut as | you may bave shipped during the past season to this market and to the East, both net and gross, in order that a com- parison may be made with both the re- tail and wholesale prices obtained? “In thfs connection kindly give as near- Iy as possible the dates upon which ship= ments were made and the particular prices obtalned at particular times. Also please state as closely as possible the eiements of cost which enter into the ex- pense of shipment, including cost of boxes, packing, freight or express, icing. commissions, etc. State whether less than carload rates have been charged at times when you have treason to believe ship- ment has been made in full cars made up of small individual shipments, and . what such chhrges ‘have been, together with the rates that have been quoted to you for both carload and less than carload shipments.
