History declares , .that General Thomas 'Francis Meagher died by the accident of falling from the deck of a steamboat in the Missouri River. He was on his way to Fort Benton to overlook arms and amriiunitiop, the country being at the time threatened by Indian troubles. He was ill aboard the steamship G. H. Thompson and when at Sun River complained to the pilot, an old-time friend, that he f6ared his enemies meant to murder him. This statement was taken as the unreasonable talk of a very sick man and the pilot remembered that he assured Meagher no such possibil ity existed. The soldier went below to his state, room. Not long afterward a shout was heard, followed by a splash and a cry. General Meagher’s stateroom was ^Tound empty, and although the boat ~ was halted a long time and put out . dredges the body was never recov ered.

NEW YORK, June 2.—Wall Street, especially that part of it which has any connection with navigation on the Hudson River, is. to-day staring in open-eyed amazement at the-quick and successful re-entrance of Charles W. Mpgge into, that line. 9/ endeavor and his recapture of the control of the Hudson Navigation Company. Just how strong the Morse control Is and jtuJt't hotV far-reaching In its ef fect are riot now fully known, but it is believed that when the details of his coup are shortly .given otit’ iJt will prove, the fnos£ startling rehabilita tion of a man’s fort fines, .that New York has ever known. Not only is Morse in a fair way to become the dominant figure in Hud son River navigation, but he has bought four lake steamers, which will be brought to this port and put into the trade between New York and Southern ports. Tho only reason they are riot in commission between' the’ - South* and the NoTth is"'that MorSeV sori, who bought them for Morse, did not reckon on the difficulties of putting them through the' Welland Canal. Their noses will have to be out off wid after the passage of the canal their noses will be put back, and they will enter regularly into the traffic with South ern coast points. •' ^ Astonishes Financial World.

J « pi* I shin NEW YORK, June 2.—Justice As- pinall, a bachelor, broke all records for freedom of expression from a Su preme Court bench when he bitterly denounced “New - York society wom en” and their “wanton, criminal ex travagance.” His ire was aroused fluing a preliminary hearing in a di vorce suit brought by Mrs. Blanche A- Heye against George Gustave Heye, the banker, of Battles & Co., at 60 Broadway. Mrs. lleye demand ed $78 000 alimony and $15,000 counsel fee. She won’t got It. The justice, after listening impa tiently to arguments for more than am hour, broke up the debate of the iawyers. Won’t Allow $78,000. “You nan be absolutely certain," he said, "that I won’t allow $78,000 ali mony to any woman. These New York society women live too high. They go to fashionable hotels, drink highballs and smoke cigarette^ in stead of staying at home and trying to make their husbands happy. “They ride up Fifth Avenue in au tomobiles with poodle dogs in their laps, and when they are married to a poor man, unfortunate.enough to have a million dollars, they come into .court and say their ‘social position’ requires.exorbitant alimony. "This woman had a soft thing and she lost him. She’ll never get $‘78,000 from me. She has been working this man like a giinlei and has succeeded in getting $166,000 out of him for her private income- Want His, Money Only. ‘.‘These young women get hold of rioh meh and live with them as long US’ they can get the money out of them, but as soon as the man put* on the brake, they are done with him. "Attorney John Willet, who repre sented Mrs. Heye, reminded Justice Aspinwall of his client’s ‘station in life’ and the money necessary to maintain it. ‘/Stations in life look pretty In nov els, w said the court, “but there are many women who never had a sta tion in life until they married a rich man. One-half of the society women of New York don’t deserve what they’ve got.” The defendant, who inherited $1,- 000,000 from his father, a Standard Oil magnate, is charged with neglect ing his wife for the society of Myrtle Vincent, a handsome woman, who Is well known on Broadway. She has been living for more than *six years at the Ansonia, Mr*. Heye charges, at the expense of her IrusbtOid. Spent $200,000 a Year. The Heyes until last January lived at the Hotel Langdon. According to Attorney Willet, Heye was accus tomed to spend $206-.0ri<) a year for family expenses. Tn addition to apart ments at the hotel, he maintained a house in Madison Avnue and a coun try place at Roslyn. Former Judge Isaac F- Oeland. counsel for Mrs. Heye, read a list of expenditures due to what he alleged was extravagance on the part of Mrs. Heye., It was this list which aroused the wrath of Justice Aspin- Wal!.' Attorney Oeland declared that of the $1,500,000 estate owned by his client when he married the plaintiff only $360,000 remained. Although Judger Aspinwall an nounced that he could readily give his decision from the bench, he took the papers in the case and reserved his verdict. tend to 1 ole of hr now it kp him any the less cacpn Ripg men and affaihs, arid >ks as though he will, lie able to not only me tion but" da ever ^rhemes be had for money* • • * ■ • Canada's Imports of Cotton Growing WASH I £s GTQ N; Jy.ne 2—Th£ De, partment. of Commerce, in a report on the Couton good’s trad'd and in dustry of Canada just completed, shows that the .
