MR. AND MRS. BOWSER.
Mr. Bowser Does a Little Whitewashing
on Ills own 110011.
There were several little things I wanted
done about the house this fall, and so the
other week 1 engaged a colored man to come
and work ;,n` a couple of days. 1t au hap-
pened that he came one morning before Mr.
Bowser had left the house and was greeted
with :
' Well, what's up note?"
"Ise dun bin hired to work-, .sub."
" Who hired you 4"
"Do lady, soh."
" Wlmt to do? "
"Jobbin', soh."
" Well, the lady has changed her mind
and doesn't want you."
After the man had gone, Mr. Bowser canna
into the house and asked :
" Did you hire a colored mat ? "
" Why, Yes."
" What for?"
" I was going to have him whitewash the
vegetable cellar, take down and clean thin
laundry stovepipe, and do setae outer odd
jobs."
"11'm 1 Mrs. Bowser, I don't believe in
encouraging such people. He'd have done
about one hour's work and charged you for
a whole day. I don't believe he knows any
more about whitewashing than 1 do about
playing the harp."
' Iiut ho said he did."
" Certainly. Did you ever see a negro
who woNkln't say anything to fit the oeoa-
ea
Well, but-----"
" There is no 'but' about it. • If there are
any little jobs about the house, I've got
plenty of time to do them. In fact, I' need
1u84 such exercise. Such work is',A diver-
sion for me, and the dootor recommends 1t."
" Do you mean to say you will do the
white -washing ?"
" I do. I don't do it to save a dollar, but
for my own benefit. I always liked the
smell of lithe."
" I wish you wouldn't do it. You'll get
lime in your eyes and you will blame me for
and—"
" There you go. Blame you 1 What
would I blame you about? • If Igot limo in
my eyes it's my own fault. Mrs. Bowser,.
you are getting to be a good deal of a orank
lately."
" Well, if you aro determined on it,
don't say that I melted you or encouraged
you."
" That's a funny way to talk to me, Mrs.
Bowser 1 Are you .getting ready for the in.
sane asylum? I think I run my awn house
yet. I11.'in willing to peel ofItind•, tio,thepe
odd jobs bought to- be encouragedinstead

I was quite sure , how: it would and, but I
said nothing more, and in the course of half
an hour ho got into' his old'olotiiee and 'went
down caller. I followed hint down.to. gIye
him a few last words 4f adbito,' but he
didn't heed them.
" You go right upataira and sit down and
enjoy yourself," he;eaid. " Here's thi
brush and here's, a pail' of lime, and If 1I
don't whitewash more cellar in ton minutes
than Moses could in. all day, I'11' never try
it again. Besides, Mrs Bowser, white-
washing is not the slouch work you imagine
1 be done byper-
sonto be. It has got to be a pe
son of taste and intelligence, or it won't
stand. I want a little blueing to give 14 a
tinge,"
' It must be well done."
" Certainly."

"'Just so."
" Even if it takes you all day."
"Even if it takes over half an hour,
which it Won't. I'll show you m job boric
that will make a black man turn green with
minty. Just run npstairs and make your-
self comfortable:"
1 retreated up the stairs to rho 1(itohen

were sure to Ionto. Mr. Bow* dinned Mid

pretend to deny that you didn't encourage
me to undertake a task which you know

"Mrs. Bowser, this is too much—toe

But we didn't. After blinking around
for half a day he went down town, andwhen
he came home to support he was as good-
natured as pie. I got a colored plan to
come and do the work, and two or three
days later, when fr1r. Bowser happened

The case of William Cronkrite, rho young
Freeport man who married Flossie Richards,
of Milwaukee, some weeks ago,whilo drunk,
came up in the Cirouit Court at Racine
recently, Cronkrite asking an annulment of
.the marriage on the grounds that:be W100 so
intoxicated he was not incondition to take
'upon him the marriage vows.. Ho entered
into negotiation with his Alleged wife for a
quiet settlement ofthe affair, but she would
not listen. On July 28rd, 1889, a suit was
.commenced to annul the marriage contract,
and proofs wore hoard by Judge Winslow
en ,August 2011. Tho matter was,held.over
for further testimony, when •Mr. Gregory,
the justice who performed the ceremony,
Dan Armonk•, and George P. Harrington,
one ofthe witnesses, were LeXamined..
The evidence showed.clearly that Cronk.

furniture, but the woodwork of the house,
is finished in the natural wood, except,
perhaps, some designs to convey an
expression of great ago. It took people
many years to see that the commonest wood

"How do you exc01111± for the continued
popularity of the antique ?"
Well, take it in household goods, for
instance; people cannot bo expected to
furnish a home every time a style changes.
First, it i0 expensive, and then, too,
associations seem to cling to the very
furniture of a house. Where they do buy,

styles. House furnishings, are changed

THE COOKING .CLOCK.
A Piece of Furniture That 10 Slade to
Serve Several Usaul Purposes.
The latest achievement in portable double -
action furniture is the cooking clock. Itis
made of white wood, stained cherry and is
constructed after the style of the old fash-
ioned grandfather's clock.. The lower part
of this mighty engine of demotic economy
contains a gasoline stove, which, when in use,
is pulled out like a drawer from its resting
place. Below the stove is a receptacle for
kitchen were, while above is a chin ; closet
containing four shelves. Above all this is
perohed a calendar clock, back of width ie.
attached .a_ gasoline vapor tank, which is
connected• with the stove by a pipe con-
cealed behind the case. To the left, and
fitted eeourelyto one side of the carte, left!,
an
Argand burner supplied with gas generated

When cooking is in progress the woodwork
of the stove-elook is protected by a sheet of
asbestos paper, which is placed back of the
stove. When the stove, chins oloeet, ore:,
are not in use they aro pushed back.�}nto the

...,uplloated. Divorce siaate4.
One of the most complicated divorce cases
in the records of Pennsylvania courts is
opened by a libel in divorce filed by Yakut -
tale B, Finn against his wife, Mary A. Finn.
The libel in divorce, whioll has been filed ht
the Protlonotary's office dut;ug the past
few days by Mr. Finn's attorney, recites
that Mrs. Finn deserted her husband in
1887, taking Mir children with her, and that
she continues to absent herself. A peculiar
feature of the case is that Mrs, Finn
obtained a divorce in another State a year
ago, but as soon as she learned of her hus-
band's action she expressed her determina-
tion to contest the proceedings, and wrote
to her relatives here that she would return
to this city in order to put in her defence.
Mrs. Finn was married in this city eight
or ten years ago. She was .Mary A, Guise,
and is connected with some of the wealthiest
and best known families of the city. Her
husband is a member of the firm of John C.
Finn Ib Son, paper manufacturers. The
union did not prove to be ono of thehap-
1,iest, and about two years ago bars. Finn
began action in this city for divorce, alleg-
ing intemperance on her husband's part.
Failing to obtain her decree here, Mrs.
Finn went to Marietta, Ohio. The divorce
laws of that state do not requirea'notiee to
bo served on the defendant, and Mrs. Finn,
after a residence of a year in the State, had
no difficulty in obtaining a decree of divorce.
She was awarded the custody of hor two
children. Mr. Finn, who wishes to have
the custody of the children, has begun his
action in divorce in order to secure them.
The standing of the case in court is puz-
zling the lawyers on both sides. TI)e
counsel for the husband claims that the Ohio
divorce is not legal in Pennsylvania. The
wife claims that her rights under her decree
cannot bo set aside by her husband's action...
According to recent rulings of the Supreme
Court quoted in the case, Mrs. Finn might
bo legally married. anywhere except in this
State, but here she could be held as a
bigamist. The husband could not be legally
married again in this State, but he could
outside of it. Each could be married again
in any State in the Union except Pennsyl-
vania. In this State the two will still be
man and wife,
The law upon which lawyers rely for the
justification of foreign divorcee, and upon
which Mrs. Finn bases her case, is the act
of Congress for the authentication of reed
which states that " judicial proceodiu,;e
authenticated :hall have such faith and
credit given them in every court within the
United States as they have by law or usage
in the courto of the States from whence the
said records are taken."
Ivtr. Finn's oounsel,depends upon the new
laws in this State formulated since the
famous Nicholson divorce suit in this city a
few years ago. One of these is that " a
foreign statute upon the subject of marriage
in direct con&iet with our established policy
will not be regarded as binding in our
courts." Another is : " A decree of
divorce obtained in another State without
personal service has no extra -territorial
effect."
Lawyers who are familiar with the Finn
case are looking for a decision of the matter
with anxious interest, because a good many
divorce eases that havebeen disposed of may
be unhinged by' the result.
