Zoltan Doeme, Mme, Nordica’s husband, having risen to the exertion of filing an answer to his wife's suit for divorce, is now an inmate of Dr. William T. Bull's private sanitarium, at No. 33 East Thirty-third' street, his delicate Hungarian nerves entirely’ shattered by the shock of learning that his wife has doubted his fidelity. Herr Doeme cannot slumber nights without the aid of a sleeping potion, but it is recalled by his numerous friends that one of the Nordica’s chief grounds of complaint against him always has been that he didn't devote enough of his nights to sleep. Af Dr. Bull's sanitarium, where Herr Doeme {s under the watchful care of Dr. John B, Walker, it is said that the distinguished patient is in a very sad way. He tosses about in his bed, gazes amorously at numerous pictures of Mme. Nordica, which are the most conspicuous decorations of his room, and bewails the sorry plight in which he finds himself. LAWYER PAYS HIM A LONG VISIT. To-day Edward Lauterbach, who has charge of Herr Doeme's case, called at the sanitarium to see him. The interview lasted about an hour, and at the conclusion it was said that the distinguished Hungarian night- ingale could see no one. Mr. Lauterbach, however, when seen, was nothiug loath to present his client's views,on tho extremely delicate situation, Said Mr. Lauterbach: “Herr Doeme is a very sick man. He is a victim of a great injustice, and, being a man of keen sensibilities, he feels the jsituation more than an ordinary man would. His is a sensitive hature, the nature of the artist, and it cannot take calmly a charge so enormous. “The accusation against Herr Doeme really amounts to little. In justice to all I should say that no great singer is named in the complaint. As a matter of fact, the complaint names no bne person. The full particulars we| have asked for, but have not yet received. Until we do receive them I can say no more.” MME. MELBA NOT INVOLVED INIT...

Melba’s same into these proceedings. She and Mme. Nordica are great friends, very dear friends, and she has never been mentioned in the case/ save by outsiders, Make this denial of Mme. Melba’s connection with the proceeding as strong as possible,” Mr. Lauterbach’s close association with the firm of Tracy, Boardman & Soley, counsel for Mme. Nordica, amounting almost to an intimacy, has led the musical world to belfeve that the divorce proceedings will be conductea without any great opposition from Herr Doeme. The name of Mme. Melbe having been dragged into the proceedings by | the paragrapher of a local society paper, Mme. Nordica sat down yesterday jand wrote the following letter to her friend, which the latter immodiately instructed her lawyers to make public, No. 121 Madison avenue, Dec, 11, 1903.

It is hinted by friends of Mme. Nordica that Herr Doeme’s extrava- | gance and sporting proclivities have quite as much to do with Mme. Nordica’s | dissatisfaction with him as his alleged attentions to certain “unknown” women. Herr Doeme liked to gamble, his devcotion to the race tracks 18, well known, and a few hundreds on the turn of a card he never regarded as an extravagance for the husband of a woman who got several thousands | &@ week for warbling. Mme. Nordica is a thrifty woman, Like Mme. Mantalini she held tight to the purse strings until her husband's persuasions became too much for| her, and then loosened up. m There are’ other points of resemblance between Herr Doeme and Dickens's queer little character, Mantalini, Mantalini's artistic nature coula not brook any discussions of such sordid things as money. When the little London dressmaker would not loosen up Mantalini would seize a knite and threaten self-destruction. It is recalled that in the end the artistic Man-| alini was divorced by the dressmaker, married a washerwoman to keep him; from going to work and ended up as Perry Throws Vitrio! at Her Alleged Rival. ATTACKS PHYSICIAN AND SCRATCHES HIS FACE. Supposed New York Detective Lures Doctor from His Home| in Boston and Woman Gains Admittance to the House. (Special to The Evening World.) ¢. 12.--Dr. Clarence E. Perry, of No. i81 Huntington avenue, had a thrilling experience near his home last evening, according to the story he told Judge Burke in the Municipal Court to-day, In applying for a warrant for Isabelle Jane Wood, a New York woman, who claims to have been his wife before he married the present wife, Dr. Perry says the Wood woman as- saulted ‘him and his present wife by throwing vitriol on ‘her. Only yester- day Dr. Perry was freed of a charge of ‘digamy. He had been charged with marrying an English woman named Carver, while legally the husband qf the woman now known as Wood. ‘After his acquittal yestenday, Dr. Perry and hie present wife celebrated the event gleefully. He says that at 10 o'clock last night there came a per- sistent ringing at the bell. He tried to find out the business of the caller, through the speaking tube, but finally had to admit him, The caller announced himself as a New York detective. who had come with requisition papers to take the doc- tor to that city for trial, He was well dressed. The man said the matter could be fixed up by a payment of money. The doctor orde;ed the man out, and then followed him for the purpose of having him arrested. Perry demanded to know who he was and why he came to his house, The man, Perry says, wanted to temporize and suggested walking back toward the doctor's house. Just as they reached there Mrs, Perry was met coming out with the doctor's overcoat. As she stepped from the door the doctor saya, Isabelle Jane Wood, whom he af- terward learned had gained admission to the building by ringing the janitor's bell. dashed out of the hallway and striick him ¢n the face, breaking his Insses. She then smahed his hat over is eves, scratched his face, and tore his coat Mrs. Perry jumped to her husband's side and, according to both, the Wood woman drew a Viai of vitriol from her breast and raised her arm to throw it, scteaming “I'll blind you," At this moment, James Percival Cal- ner, Mrs, Perry's brother, appeared on the’ scene, and grabved ‘the woman's arm, ‘Tho vitriol spilied on Mrs, Perry's coat, instead of her face, ‘The alleged detective and Mrs. Wood then ran down the avenue and disappeared. ‘The doctor and Mrs. Perry hurried to Police Station No. 16 and reported the affair, The police began a search for the map and woman without result.

THREE REASONS, Each with 2 Legs and 19 Flagers, A Boston woman who is a fond mother writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys. Among other things she says: “Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack and Dick, aged six, four and two years respectively, are three of our reasons for using and recom- mending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape-Nuts since Infancy, and often between meals when other children would have been given candy. “I gave a package of Grape-Nuts to a neighbor whose three-year-old child was a weazened little thing, ill half the time. The little tot ate the Grape- Nuts and cream greedily and the mother continued the good work and it was not long before a truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child's face and body.

People visiting Carlsbad for the water are told to walk miles in the fresh air be- fore breakfast and eat little early in the day. For many people it {s impos- sible to get out in the sunshine and good air, and for those who are doomed to sit for hours within four walls, .perhaps alongside of con: sumptives or thos, suffering from ca- tarrh or other dis- ease, it means sickness and ill-health. Indigestion is only one of themanysymptomsof impure blood as well as a disordered condition of the stomach, Forty years ago, Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi- clan to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y.,) found that certain herbs, barks and roots manufactured, without the use of alcohol or opiates, into a concen- trated extract, made a stimulating tonic for the stomach, helped the digestion and assimilation of the food and eradicated poisons from the blood. This is nature's cure for in- digestion, and by correcting the stomach, and thereby feeding the ‘blood on pure materials, the red blood corpuscles are increased and the body established in a healthy state. No one suffers from catarrh who has plenty of red blood cor- puscles and a good digestion. Catarrh in all its forms is a stag- ation of the blood. Introduce pure red blood into the system and health is assured. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has borne the stamp of public approval for the pest third of a century, and will do more to improve the health than any other remedy. Dr. Pierce does not believe in a tonic made with alcohol or narcotics. His “Golden Medical Discovery” he guarantees to contain neither of these, but to be purely vegetable and the most lasting cure for catarrh, throat and bronchial troubles, which, if neglected, lead to ccnsumption.
