DIVORCES OAI.ORE.
Divorces reached highwater mark in
MMrt last week when seventeen suits
were argued for final adjudication. An
unusual Incident happened during the
session of court; E. L. Mailman, as at-torney
for Mrs. Mary Earnest, had Just
finished his plea for absolute severance
from the bonds of wedlock with John
('. ICarnest, when the attorney's own
divorce suit was argued for his wife.
Mrs. Mailman seeks a divorce nenso et
thorn, (the Latin for bread and board),
which Is not an absolute divorce. The
parties to this partial severance are
held In court accountability to com-ply
with the sanctity of the mnrrlage
vows; and a departure conflicts with
the sixth commandment. Mrs. Ilall-iniin
thought that the award of $7 a
Wash alimony to the wife of a lawyer
IS rldlclously small, while her husband
thinks It too high. Both want It
changed, Mrs. Barnes! hy the way is
the sister of P. .1. Houlihan, formerly
of this borough. She became POSSOSS
.-,. of considerable wealth by the death
of her first husband. George Meehncr,
son of the late Christopher Heehner, a
rich miller. The ground upon which
she sought divorce wns cruel and bur-horus
treatment.
