__ THE WORLD: | FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1902. CEREALS TAKE PLAGE OF MEAT As Price of wot Beat Goes Up Demand for Other Provisions Increases. WAY TO FIGHT TRUST. Grocers and Restaurant Keep- ers All Over the City Tell of Seemingly Concerted Action of the People. Inquiry among the grocers and res- taurant keepers in the olty shows that the demand for osreals has increased in pome instances «0 per cent. since the agitation against the meat trust. The demand !s still on the tnorease. ‘The manager of one of the largest re- tail groceries in the gity said to-day: “Our sales of cereals during the past week have been unprecedented. Our dally average sale has been heretofore ‘between 200 and 30 pounds, During the past five days we have sold more than 2,800 pounds. “Some of our other stores tafled still larger quantities, The de- mand is steadily Increasing. We have had many customers who never used any other cereal than oatmeal pur- chase largely of other brands and one gentleman came in the other afternoon with his wife and said “We are not going to eat so much meat and | want some palatable dish for breakfast that will take the place of mutton chops.’ He laughed as he spoke, “'No, that have re- is not It,’ said his wife, ‘put I do not purpose paying 18 and 20 | cents a pound for chops that I used to pay 14 centa for, and ao we decided to eat meat only once a day. Mr. Smith says he must have something else than oatmeal.’ “I gave them samples of several oer eals and they made their selection. ‘The butchers must certainly feel the falling off." At one Third avenue grocery the re- porter found the stock of cereals en- tirely depleted. ‘The grocer was in an irritable mood because of his predica- ment. All Buy Cereals. “Pverybody around here has suddenly taken to buying cereals," he au'd, “and my stock is exhausted. I expected new etock early this morning, It has not arrived and I am losing good money because of somebody's oversight. I or- dered in plenty of time.” In the east-side restaurants and dairy kitchens enormous quantities of cereals have been used during th past few weeks, ‘The demand is nearly doubi “My customers are asking now for pastry dishes made up from cereals and I have engaged a new ‘cook expert in the preparation of such dishes,” said the chef of one of the big dairy kitchens to-day, “I suppose during the past week we have sold more than 10,000 portions of cereal dishes. This Is a wondertul in- crease, and shows that the people are fighting the Beef Trust in their own way—the only way \t can be fought, It appears to me. The demand for meat has tallen off in almost the ption. here has been a gr same pro- whic! of meat, ‘These nuts con- fat in the pure state, which meat situation 4s unprecedented, and ft must be gratifying to the cereal manufacturers.” A Physician's Advise. Dr. John H. Forman, of No. 2804 Sev- enth avenue, 4 prominent practitioner In Har 1 to-day: true that people eat too a rule, They have been up from childhood to regard suity, and it is hard to get from’ that jdea little meat to furnish the fats the system requires is, I belleye, quite neces~ wary, but there 1s no question but that the use of flesh food has been abused. While 1 am not a v tan, 1 do think that theaverage men and women would be much healthler if they ate more fruit and cereals. This applies especially to the brain worker, Meat 4s not good for him ex after his Work 1s done, He should never eat it for breakfast “since the price of meats has gone up 1h received calls from many of my patients asking me to recommend some epecial brami of cereal, This of course J could not do.

Probably the person most interested in the mar- riage outside of the contracting parties is Mrs. Ida Isabel Childs, who lives In a jhandsome apartment oo. 38 Perry street. She secured a decree of divorce from Mr, Childs in February, ‘The de- ores said that Mr. Childs was not only to pay her a Mberal alimony, but aiso |that he was not to marry again as long as she lived. ‘Although Mra, Childs No, 1 feels that her feelings have been outraged, she bears no {Il will toward her former hus- band, and hopes, she says, that he will live happily aa the husband of the woman who has supplanted her in his affections. “] made a man of my husband," said Mrs. Childs to-day to an Evening World reporter, “and this is the manner in which he has repaid me, At a time when his affairs were in a most oritical condition T came to his rescue with my |savings, and with my own hands worked for him that he might recover his stand- ing as a business man and re-establisn his credit “T could, had I ever been mercernary have retained possession of the many places he now owns. They were all in my name and business was done with the credit I had established. “But when he got on his feet I trans- ferred all my rights to him because T deemed such action a duty which as a wife I owed to him. Besides, I trusted him—would have trusted him with my very life. Without my knowledge, even without a sueploion on my part, he for two years, it now appears, was making love to his woman employee. ‘[ do not blame her so much. If the two do not fare well, I trust that s at least will be the winner in the end.” Childs merried his former wife eight years ago when he was in business in his first restaurant venture at No. 285 Broadway, Mrs. Childs No, 1 was then his cashier ari manager, She proved herself a business woman of rare ability when the crash came. Bhe had saved money and came to his rescue. They then had been married only a few months. She induced her ‘and under her name she not only re- established credit but managed the bust- ness so successfully that in a year all the old debts were paid off and another place was established at No. 391 Broad- j way. Shortly after two places were opened at Newark and still another at No. 6% Broadway, | It was at the latter store that Miss | Wallace came into Childs's employ as @ cashier, What has since happened was told by his former wife to-day. “My husband became infatuated with the young woman, but I never knew It until recently. “Only the other day @ young woman who was in Mr. Childs'’s employ told me that when I called up on the telephone Mr. Childs would go over to Miss Wal- lace and caution her to be careful or to go out for a walk, because I was com- ing down to the store. I really never knew that anything of a serous nature was brewing until one day in September last Mr. Childs urged me to go to the races. He suggested that I go with our then mutual friend, Mr. James Dobbin. “During my absence from home on the day I was at the racetrack Mr. Childs drove up to our house (we were then Hving at No, 3 West Sixteenth street) and, bundling his effects into a trunk, left a note addressed to me ing that he had gone for good and that he would explain later, He had had de- tectives following me. “Iam now tn recetpt of a Mberal ali- mony and hold $10,000 worth of stook in the Knickerbocker ‘Trust Company, which my husband was compelled to trerefer to me, It Js my intention to 0 {nto business in the fall." —— TELLS WOES OF SECOND HONEYMOON.

SENT UP FOR BEATING | HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW. Justice Mayer, in the Court of Special Sessions, this morning reversed the sometimes accepted belief that a man has a right or sufficient provocation to beat his mother-in-law by sentencing | Otto Deuchler to serve three months on Blackwell's Island. Otto gave his wife's mother two black eyes in a fight in their home at No, 211 West Sixteenth street. She weighs about ninety pounds and he weighs 200, Justice Mayer called him @ brute and a fiend and sald he wished he could Rentence: him: to the penitentlary for e. COMMON LAW WIFE SUES FOR INSURANCE. Julla B, Mahon, who claims to be the common-law widow and is the adminis- tratnx of John F. Mahon, a fireman, who died May 10, 1901, brought suit against John J. Scannell, Fire Commis- sioner and trustee of the New York Firemen’s Life Insurance Fund for the $1,000 payable to the heirs of deceased firemen, The case is on trial befor Justice Steckler and a jury in the Su- preme Court, and {f she wins Commis- efoner Sturgis will pay the judgment as Scannell's successor Refusal to pay the $1,000 insurance to Mrs, Mahon was simply to have her legal status determined by the Court Mrs. Mahon Js a full-figured woman of middle age. She testified that she was never married to Mahon by a minister or Magistrate or other ceremony, but that In 1897 he asked her to live’ with him as his wife, and they had #o lived tll his death Justice Steckler asked her: Was that all?’ “No. He gave me a ring." She hold up her hand and showed a plain golden elrolet “Why did you enter Into @ contract \in that way?” “Because of difference in religion." ‘This satisled Justice Steckler as to her claim to be the widow of the fire- man. Several nelghvors testified that Mahon had introduced the claimant aa his wife, and Dr. Joseph W. Droogan gave | similar testimony.

Mrs, Nitteldorf lives at No. 170 Chris- topher street, Manhattan, Her father ts & Hebrew teacher. She has never lived with Nitteldorf since the marriage, on Nov. 7, 1900. ‘My father put up a canopy in the parlor,"" she sald, ‘and dragged me un- der it. Then Mr. Nitteldorf, who ts old enough to be my grandfather almost, came {n, and they forced me to marry him. When he took me out of the house 1 broke away from him and went to an aunt In Brooklyn “T haven't any other man in view, but I want to be free if one that sults me comes along." ‘The girl's mother corroborated the story, and Justice Marean annulled the marriage.
