GIVES UP HER
HUSBAND.
That He May Marry Another.
Remarkable and Unusual Scene at New
York Pier Where Ferdinand P. Earl,
Artist and Socialist Bids Good-bye to
His Wife and Little Son, Who Sail for
France, Where Mrs. Earl Will Procure
Divorce That He May Wed Another
Woman Who He Declares is His Af-finity-A
Righteous Aftermath.
By special wire to The Argus.
Kew York, Sept. 5, A scene more
suggestive of an up-to-date play than
of real life was enacted on board the
steamer Ryndam yesterday alternoon
when Mrs. Ferdinand P. Earl, of Mon
roe, N. Y., sailed for her native home
in France to obtain a divorce in order
that her husband, an artist and social
ist, may marry another woman whom,
he declares, he has found his affinity.
Mrs. Earl aequiesced in the plan by
which she renounced her husband to
another woman, it she did not volun
tarily enter into the agreement to give
him his freedom, and faced a group of
reporters and curious persons on the
steamer with a smile which gave no
hint of any regret on her part in the
strange domestic drama in which she
is taking the leading role.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl left their home in
Monroe together and drove past curi
ous crowds of townspeople to the rail
road station. There was a little hissing
as Mr. Earl boarded the train, but it is
doubtful whether Mr. Earl heard it
above the other noises. Mrs. Earl,
witn her little son, Howard, aged 2 1-2
years, who will share her exile, reached
the steamer in advance of Mr. Earl and
went at once to her stateroom. Mr.
Earl arrived soon afterward and to
gether they appeared on deck to meet
the reporters. They posed together for
a photograph, both smiling and appa-
rpntlv nnntpiit with tho nfirl twist that
fate has given to their lives. Mrs.
Earl declined to make any statement
concerning it, but her husband, who
seemed highly pleased at the attention
he was receiving, said:
"Mrs. Earl is bearing up bravely,
under the ordeal. This notoriety is
worth five years work tome. We part
with a full understanding and Mrs.
Earl is as much agreed to it as I am.
I believe it is the right thing to do."
Mr. and Mrs. Earl then went to her
stateroom and bade each other good
bye. The aftermath, righteous, though
severe, followed this morning, when
Prof. Earl's neighbors congregated, and
after discussing the disgusting episode,
proceeded to drag him from his car
triage and horsewhip him severely.
Some of the more impetuous wanted to
hang him, but the opportunity was not
favorable. As it was, he was dragged
.through the muddy streets and un
imercifully beaten before the police
could rescue him.

There is comfort in the knowledge so

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during th day, and to get up many
times -during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis

An Unwritten Cnapter in The Private
Affairs of One Who Deserves To
Be President.
(By special wire to The Argus.)
Lynchburg, Va., Sept. 5. Senator
John AY. Daniel, who a host ot South
ern Democrats would like to see nom
inated for the Presidency next year,
was sixty-five years old today and
was reminded of the fact by receiving
numerous congratulations from his
fellow townsmen and from friends and
admirers in all sections of the country.
Senator Daniel was born in Lynch
burg and has always made his home
here.
It is now nearly forty years since
Senator Daniel began his political ca
reer as a member of the Virginia house.
n 1881 he was defeated as Democratic
candidate for governor by W. E. Cam
eron, and returned to law practice. He
went to Congress in 1886, and the fol
lowing year succeeded General Mahone
in the United States Senate.
There is one interesting chapter in
the life of Sen. Daniel with which the
general public is not familiar. His
father was Judge William Daniel of
Lynchburg, a man of prominence and
wealth. Although his fortune was
considerably impaired by the war, he
still had a lucrative practice, and dur
ing the ten years which succeeded he
was among those who loresaw the
great commercial development of the
country, and interested himself in
numerous speculative enterprises. But
he was sanguine to the point of being
visionary. Everything seemed to
him promising, and it was his habit
first to subscribe to 10.000 worth of
stock and theri to ask what was the
nature of the enterprise.
In 1873, when he died, it was found
that his estate was hopelessly insol
vent. There were claims by creditors
over and above the assets amounting
to more than 100, 000. These claims
the son John assumed. He had been
practicing law in his father's office, bnt
there was no obligation on him or a
moral or legal character. The schemes
and speculations had been entered into
without his knowledge or advice. The
bankruptcy law afforded a wide door
for escape. He could have wiped the
slate clean and smarted the world anew.
But he cbose otherwise. To him it
seemed that the only honorable course
was to pay his father's debts in full
and with interest,, if it took all the
earnings of his life to do it. Accord
ingly he notified the creditors of his
intention and began upon the hercu
lean task.
That was nearly thirty-five years
ago, and duriag almost the entire time
that has elapsed since " then, Senator
Daniel has paid over the greater part
of his income t his father's creditors.
He has lived on less than $2rO0O a year.
When in Washington? he has lived at
the cheaper hotels, ami although crip
pled and dependent . en cratches he
hardly knows what it is to ride in a
cab. But at sixty-five years of age he
has the satisfaction of knowing that he
has discharged his father's old obliga
tions in full..
SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
Agreement Reached.
(By special wire to The Abous.)
Paris, Sep. 7. An agreement has
been reached whereby France will at
once occupy Mazagan, and Spain and
France occupy Tangiers , and Casa
blanca, as soon as possible. Other
points of Morroecan territory are di
vided up with the consent ot the other
powers, and the forcible pacification
of ' Morrocco will be pushed to a sue
cessful issue. '
William Drinkard, Manager of Brewing
Plant, Lives High on the Company's
Funds and When Caught Up
With Skips. ;
(Special to the Argus.)
Winston-Salem, Sept. 7. Mr. Win.
Drinkard, who has been manager of
the local plant of the Virginia Brewing
Co. for three years, has departed for
parts unknown, and Mr. C. Geison, of
the home office, in Roanoke, has been
sent here to take temporary charge of
the plant. Mr. Drinkard in short in
his accounts, but just how much is
not given out yet. Rumors say that
he embezzled 900 of the company's
money, which is hot doubted by the
people here who are cognizant of the
way he has been living for the past
few months. Mr. Geison has received
a letter from Drinkard stating that if
he was short in his accounts that he
would make up the deficiency.
Mr. Thomas, the traveling auditor of
the company, who comes here once a
month, arrived a few days ago and ask
ed for a settlement with Drinkard.
Drinkard put him off saying that he
had no settlement to make with him.
Mr. Thomas then communicated with
the home office and Mr. Geison was
sent to check up the books. Mr. Gei
son says that as soon as he ascertains
the full facts in the case he will give
out a statement, but until then he does
not care to make a statement. Living
beyond his means is responsible for
Drinkard's actions.
SAID l TOBE A LIE.
Canal Zone Conditions Are All That Can

(By special wire to the Argus.)
New York, Sept. 7. The lie is today
given to the sensational stories brought
to this country some months ago by a
self constituted clerical -inspector who
visited that territory.
Rev. H. II. Bryan, canon of the Ca
thedral of the incarnation, Garden City,
L. I., who was sent by the bishop pre
siding, to investigate the conditions,
and especially the religious needs of
the people in the Panama canal zone,
has just returned, and he reports moral
conditions in the zone remarkably good,
and with very little crime. There
have been only three murders in three
years, and two convictions followed.
Intoxication and brawls are the most
frequent offenses. There are only three
saloons in the zone and they pay 1,100
license.
A few Chinese merchants sell liquor
on the sly.
Sanitary conditions iu the zone are
good.

It Will be the Beginning ot The Yesr
5663 of the Kebra Calenfiar.wnlcb
is Traditionally Supposed to Count
From The Creation of The World.
(Special to the Argus.)
New York, Sept. 7. At sunset to
morrow evening the Jewish people
throughout the world will be.sin the
celebration of Rosh Hashanah, or the
festival of the new year. It will be
the beginning of the year 56(33 )f the
Hebra calendar, which is traditionally
supposed to count from the creation ot
the world. The celebration of the
New Year's festival is more generally
observed bv the Jews than any other
of the numerous feasts and fasts in
their calendar, with the single excep
tion of Youi Kippur or the Fast of the
Day of Atonement, which follows close
upon it.
Among orthodox Jews, whose num
bers in this city have been greatly in
creased in recent years by immigrants
from Russia and Poland, the ceremo
nies in connection with Rosh Hashanah
extend over two days. With what is
termed the reformed element, those
who have accepted the modern inter
pretation ot the scriptures, while the
celebration of the festival is as strictly
observed as among the orthodox, it is
confined to one day. The religious ob
servance of the festival enjoins entire
abstention from business and all labor,
and the attention upon the religious
services at the synagogues.
A prominent feature of the services
in the synagogues is the blowing of the
ram's horn or shofar. The reason for
blowing the horn can be traced bael to
the beginning of the Jewish race and is
supposed to remind the children of
Israel that the time for repentance is
at hand and they should realize that
they have committed sins which should
be atoned for. After the blowing of
the horn special services and praj-ers
are held to commemorate the occas
ion. In addition to the regularly estab
lished congregations worshipping all
the year round in places of worship
owned or regularly rented by them, the j
need of many improved synagogues is i
imperative owing to the great number
of Jews, on the East Side especially,
who do not belong to any established
congregation, but who desire to take
part in the celebration of the festival.
To fulfil this need every available hall
and place of public meeting on the
East Side, many in Harlem and a num
ber in the Bronx, have been titted up
as temporary places of worship. The
seats in these improvised synagogues
are bought by those who desire to wor
ship at these places, but there, is al
ways a' provision made tor those who
cannot afford the expenditure, so that
no one desirous of taking part in the
service is turned away.

HEMORRH
SORES AND ECZEMA
Accompanied by Terrible Itching
A Complicated and Most Distress
ing Case Well-known Remedies
Failed to Cure Doctor Thought
an Operation Necessary Then
CUTICURA PROVED ITS
WONDERFUL EFFICACY
"I am now eighty years old and on5
morning, three years ago, I was taker
with a hard pain in my right side. ia
two days I had an attack of piles
(hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding.
The doctor gave me some medicine and
an ointment for them which helped me
some but I had to keep using them all
the time. Then I changed to the P
remedy; but if I did not use it every
day, I would get worse. The doctor
said the only help for me was to go to
a hospital and be operated on. A6
this time, about a year ago, I went to
usine the S remedies. I tried them
for four or five months but did not get
much helD for mv piles. During tr
time sores would come on a fleshy part
of my body. They bothered me all
the time. I would get one healed and
another would come. These sores
changed to eczema, accompanied by
a terrible itching. It seemed as if X
could not keep my hands from tearing
my flesh. This and the pile trouble
brought on an inflamed condition.
Then I got the Cuticura Remedies. I
t, washed the affected parts with Cuticura
Soap and warm water in the morning,
at noon, and at night, then used Cuti
cura Ointment on the irritated sur
faces' and injected a quantity of Cuti
cura Ointment with a Cuticura Sup
pository Syringe. I also took Cuti
cura Resolvent Pills three times a day.
It1 took a month of this treatment to
get me in a fairly healthy state and
then I treated myself once a day for three
months and, after that, once or twice a.
week. It is fortunate that I used Cuti
cura. The treatments I had tried took a
lot of money that I would have saved by
using Cuticura Remedies sooner, but
I am wiser now. I am supplied with
a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
would not feel safe without them.
