Colonel and His Wife A MILITARY DIVORCE SUIT. :Curious Revelations Concerning the Behaviour of a Lady Companion. Lieutenant-colonel John Alfred Stoneman, of the Army Service Corps, sought a divorce on Tuesday on the grounds of his wife's mis- conduct with Mr. Aristides Pally, a young Greek gentleman of Alexandria, and with Lieutenant-colonel Robert Orme Day, a brother officer of petitioner. Damages were claimed against the isuter. The respondent pleaded condonation and cruelty. The co- respondent Pally did not appear; Colonel Day denied the adultery. The parties were married; in August, 1880, and in 1882 the petitioner was ordered to Egypt, where he fought at Tel-el-Kebir. Thence they went to Bermuda, where an inci- dent occurred which afforded the only ground for the charges of cruelty that the respondent now made. The wife got into bad company there, the society of a very fast set among the officers and their wives, and she appeared to have taken to stimulants. Colonel Stoneman was extremely angry, and, once coming in and finding her drinking whisky and water, he took the glass from her, and threw its con- tents oyer her, believing that a good, Solid, Wholesome Check of that aorfc might cute her. They returned to England, and were living at Aldershot, where respondent mfit Colonel Day, whose intimacy with har here was not then known tot peti- tioner. In 1889 they went again to Egypt, and afterwards to Switzerland and to Rome. Mrs1. Stoneman WM, said counsel, very attrac- tive and anftomplilshod, and she stayed behind in Rome while hp returned to Alexandria. He read a letter written by her there in January, 1896, as negativing the idea. of cruelty. She had been dangerously ill, and; she wrote: — It, io; a tRrrjhle thing to be face to face with one's Maker. I will he such a. good girl to you. God blesa you. With a million kisaet. When she returned to Alexandria the peti- tioner engaged; 8, Miss Seymour, the daughter of a gentleman, to b*» her oompanion-a most vn- fortunate. selection bince the lady was constantly with Mrs. Stoneman, and was a party to the liaison which) she contracted1 with this young Greek who used to visit the house, sometimes when the colonel was there. Evidence would be given that he was in this lady's bedroom at night. At the end of February, 1895, Colonel Stoneman became auspicious. In consequence of finding the companion's door locked he went round another way, and found his wife, Miss Seymour, a.nd1 the Greek standing on a balcony, all very confused). He was certain that some- thing was wrong, and in the end Mrs. Stone- man confessed to the adultery, and Miss Sey- mour made a statement to the same effect. Tbe Armv servant1 stated the. The Greek Often Came There, and that Miss Seymour used to walk up fi'i down outside watching while he was in her mistress's roorw. After this Colonel Stoneman heard of other matteTH, which resulted in in- quiries, and he got a letter which Mrs. Stone- man had written on September 15, 1891, tot a former servant of hers named Jennj-, when öhe (Mrs. Stoneman1) was about to leave, for Egypt to follow her husband. Jenny was a respectable young woman, who had been in a situation in the North of England ever since. Mrs. Stone- man wrote to her this significant letter: — My Dear JenDV,—T meant to write to you before, but J rRE'UV couldn't. You see I am "Ull lice in thie ghastly hole, and am deucedly miserable. Major Day ill to 1* married to a lady at C-olohester, who is a widow with £ 2,500 and a. lovely house, and faucy I He bad the 'oivrl taste to write to me simply it formal, cold letter merely announcing that fact to me. It nearly hroke my heart. but I merely Relit Ii short, curt answer, saying 1 never wished to see :1.uy lIIore of him again. Isn't he a beast? I suspected something lately because he nner met my eyes. I am llOt going to fret acbout It, for he is not worth it. The letter added that she had Heceived an Engagement. from the Critonpn company to play a part on tour beginning at Newcastle for £ 4 a week, but after Major a.y had behaved 30 badly she threw t&e whole thing up. It was signed "Your affectionate mistress." Colonel Stoueman's subsequent inquiries dis- closed that while Colonel (then Major) Day wao visiting the house, petitioner having confi- dence in him as a brother officer, he was hik- ing advantage of his position. While Colonel StoMeman was ill respondent went, tOll, Jail from which co-resjxmdent escorted her, but, instead of taking her home, he took her to his hut, and she did not reach home till four :I.m, They .'net in London, where she was seen sit- ting on Majctr Day's .knee with her arms round h:m. When Major Day went to Cheriu mauteimes the respondent, making the e.v.'n.;e that she was going to see her sistar in Lon- don, Went (down tiyere .nftd wtus constantly alone with him. Petitioner claimed damages in order that the co-respond ant might thus enable him to make some fair provision for hia wife's future. I'atiticiier paid his wife was po^-ie«-ed of great musical talents and was a most charming woman. He had intercepted a, letter written by her to Pally in which she addressed him as "My own darling," and went on to say that she had to confws all when once she had told the story of their <ove. The further hearing Was adjourned J ill to- day.

Bill Banter's Budget HARD AT WORK OVER THE OLD ADAM. A Domestic Hurricane of Frequent Occurrence at Cardiff PcUce-court. The court-room flea were chirping merrily in the shadow of Stone's Justices' Manual on the solicitors' table. He tang of summer dayti of peace and plenty, of hours devoid of care, of life wanned into activity by the balmy sunshine glancing from his dorsal fin. tinder the influence of its cheery note the mmds of all went dreamily back to days long past, to the "luscious pleasure of a search by ma.; to the baby eyes that sparkled with excitement when the rapid slap denoted he.- victory; to the later period when oame the knowledge of good and evil, and we knew it was a, fiea; chenoe to the time when year* brought dignity, and the flea grew iron-jawed, and large enough to chirp; when every nerve and muscle became set in the determination to sit all day without a sign to let the hard world know we had secured its personal presence in its search Iot sustenance.

"Adjournment for luncheon" is the way newspapers put it, carefully omitting to state w.hose luncheon they refers to. It would never do to say the court-room flea's. The foregoing information were volunteered mo this morning by an officer of the court, whose truthful sincerity I have no reason to doubt, being proved to me by marks of an adjournment as he showed me. ft were given me during the progress of sm ejectment 0' the Old Adam from little Bill Llias, who were in serious difficulty through going to the docks Ito get a. start. He had been out of any congenial employment for some calendar months. His mother blesses him at last, saying, "William, it's time you got a start. So down to che docks and tee you get it." He did. He went and found young Alfred Smith taking half y, crown towards the Hayes for investment in the grocery line. William he had a halfpenny capital, just wondering how to by if. out to best advantage. ''Here's a real hzlfpeny for yam. Alfred," says he; "I'll get the groceries to.- your ma whilst you run in and buy your- self some sweets. Who would refuse an offer such as that? Aif didn't. William took the two and six, and rapidly became a soul—which means, he were invisible—untii*to-day. The most stherialised human nature yields to the heartless practicability of them police. It takes its sordid form again, 1#oD.d bobs up in the dock to the riotous amusement of Utie court-room fiea.

From without there rose the gentle murmur of a score or two real ladies discuss- ing the questions or the day in the oooi .-hade outside the doors. Ha! 't'here that strange weird sound were heard again! Surely it are not ? Can it be ? It is! as the stage villain in th' rurw play cries on seeing the girl he had betrayed smite him to the earth with the spanner irom the pistol-pocket of her bloomers As a. matter of fact, the sound were by the Old Adam oozing out of Mrs. Donovan.

"And you calkd me a blank blank?" "Yes! What, did you call me?" "I called you cows' kittens." "Quite right, you dirty old thing!" These were the soft nothings reminiscent of the Donovan's honeymoon the court lis- tened to, and in the end the stipendiary observes, "If you adopt that attitude I'm not surprised your husband beat you." "Yes. your worship," says young Dontovan, very pleased, "I leads the life of a dog mnong 'em. all." "This is a violent and foul-mouthed young woman." continues the stipendiary. "Yes, yeo:" nods Donovan, looking as though lie expected a gratuity for his trouble in kicking her. "But," wiya the magistrate, very oalm, "that fact is no exouse for kicking her. You arfJ a brute!"

"He will do six weeks' hard labour again," says the Stipendiary,' 'and give his wife 6s. weekly maintenance when he comes out. And she will have a separation order." High time the Donovans gave up house- keeping, were my mental observation. It are a style of married life only too frequent, as I knows of. Brought up in the same slum, there are no need to wait lor marriage to disclose faults and foibles such as this. They knows each other's idiosyncrasies as lovers, but waits until the wedding to object to them.

Riotous Fishermen FRESH DISTURBANCES AT NEiWLYX. Military and Gunboats Despatched to aid in Restoring Order. The Press Association Penzance cor- respondent, telegraphing on Tuesday after- noon, says: —A contemplated attack by two hundred Newlyn rioters on a Lowes- toft boat in Penzance Harbour has been pluckily resisted and repulsed. The attack- ing party advanced by way of the prome- nade. As soon as they crossed the borough boundaries they were met by a body of Pen- zance women and children, who hooted and jeered at them. The retort was, "We have come to take away your husbands, but in a few minutes the leaders, with bloodstained faces, were hastening homeward. Superin- tendent Nicholas, and only part of his little police force, about eight in all, were drawn up on a narrow part of the quay. At sight of the policemen the fishermen raised a shout, and advanced at the double. Behind the police- men was a small body of volunteers, com- I posed of sailors, quay labourers, and others, armed with ice-axes, staves, a.nd belaying pins. The foremost of the rioters bad the f>olioe truncheons So well played upon their leads and. faces that they fell back, and there was a general stampede for two or three hundred yards, to Sandy Bank. There the men obtained boards out of a boat, and, armed with these and stones, they made a stand, but were soon broken up into little groups and scattered. According to a later telegram from Penzance, only a few of the rioters remain on the promenade. A large number of St. Ives boats are sailing into Mount's Bay and making for Newlyn, and the retreating Newiyn men threatened that they would return with the St. Ives men. DESPATCH OF TROOPS AND GUN- BOATS. A telegram from Penzance on Tuesday night states that 350 men of the 2nd Berkshire Regiment arrived at Penzance from Plymouth on Tuesday evening, and after a brief rest were marched to Newiyn. The Central News says:—The Admiralty ordered a gunboat to proceed westward, but the order missed the vessel, and Oil Tuesday they sent the Traveller, special service ship, the Curlew, gunboat,, and the Ferret, torpedo- boat destroyer, and all these vessels will reach Penzance early to-day (Wednesday). A BRUSH WITH THE MILITARY. Telegraphing late on Tuesday night the Press Association's Penzance correspondent says: — The soldiery have taken possession of Newlyn Quay, and the Lowestoft fishermen were enabled to pass out. This, however, was not effected without eome ugly rushes and scuffles, in the course of which one Kewlyn man re- ceived a bayonet or sword wound in the head. A later telegram from Newlyn, through the Central News, st-aites that the arrival of the troops has put an end to the disorders. ?

AMERICAN DIPLOMAS IN MEDICINE. INEFFECTUAL APPEAL AGAINST A CARDIFF DECISION. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on Tuesday (before 1\1 r. Justice Grantham and Mr. Justice Colling, eitting as a divisional court), the case of the Queen v. T. W. Lewis, Esquire, stipendiary magistrate of Cardiff, and Mr. Talbot Bridg- water, came on for hearing. Mr. A. T. Lawrence And Mr. Leslie ap- peared to oppose a rule which had been granted in t'hiis nMe, while Mr. Muir M'Keu- zia supported it. Mr. Lawrence was about to open his case when Mr. Jusrtioe Grantham said this was the second of two oaaas which had been dismissed by the Cardiff stipendiary on the same ground, viz., tha.t there was no intention to defraud. This case was practically the same as fch* one which they decided on Friday, up- holding the decision of the magistrate. The respondent, Mr. Bridgwater, had the letters M.JJ. and U.S.A. after his name, and there was an American diploma hanging up in his room. On tha.t, the magistrate held that there was no attempt to deceive. The court would like to hear what Mr. M'Kenzie had to say in support of the ruie. Air. M'Keir/.ie said the ground on which the magistrate deciued the case was that inasmuch a" Mr. Bridgwater put "U.S.A." after his rrme, he showed he could not lie registered under the Medical Act, and was wrong m law, because if a person f atisfied the medical council that he had an American diploma from certain universities he could be registered as a practi- tioner in the United Kingdom with a. foreign diploma. Mr. Justice Grantham said what he gathered the let.-wied magistrate to have held was that it could not be saad that Mr. Bridgwater pur- ported to be régistel ed. Mr. Justice Collins asked what the informa- tion was in this case. Mr. M'Jvenzie said the respondent was charged with unlawfully, wilfully, and falsely pretending to be a Doctor of Medicine, con- trary to Section 40 of the Medical Act. If the defendsnt had IIÚ diploma, he was not liberated fiom the change, lx?eau«e he put "U.S.A." after his name. The vice of the thing was having M.D. after hia name, which meant that he was a registered Doctor of Medicine. The assumption of the letters "M.D. whether there were any other letters after them or not, meant, he submitted, that the person using them was a regularly qualified M.D., either American or English. Mr. Justice Grantham: The informant in this case saw the diploma hanging up in this man's rcom. l\Ir, Lawrence: The informant was a doctor himself, who went to my client's house de- claring that, he was a gardener. Mr. Justice Grantham said the magistrate hfid found that the.-e was 110 intention to de- (Kive. Can you ray there wan no evidence to Justify him in so finding? ivir. M'Kenzie said, after that expression of opinion on the part of the court, he would not keep the matter up kxiger. Mr. Justice G rant ham said tho magistrate had foi nd is a fact that the respondent did rot represent himself fus a registered M.D., and, that Wing so, the court could not go bt hind the finding. Mr. Justice Collins concurred, and the ap- piicaticm was discharged with costs.

Cyclists' Pacemakers THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE IN PARIS. Linton's Leaders Demand More Pay and Cause a Race on the Buffalo Track to be Abandoned. The annual-report of the Newport Athletic Club, just issued, is an interesting little vohune, showing the position of a remarkably active club, which now has a membership of 770. Although embracing all branches of athletics, the lion's share of interest is centred in football, which during the past, season supplied a net credit balance to the general account of the club of £1,063 8s. 2d. The grog's gate-money for first team matches amounted to 52,118 8s. 6d. The athletic meetings also turn over a credit balance, but, apparently, cricket, gymnastics, ar.d tennis do not by themselves cover the ex- pense incurred. The report very properly congratulates the club upon its good fortune in having such an excellent hon. secretary as Mr. A. W. Boucher. I The life of the professional cyclist is not &11 cake and honey, especially now that trouble has arisen between the pacemakers and the riders. The former remind me of the organ-blower who protested that 't was he who played the organ, and not the man who fingered the keys. and his manner of prov- ing this by suddenly stopping the blowers in the midst of the playing in very much like what the pacemakers are doing, tt is fehey who break the records, and oot the crack. who have only to stick to their back wheel! For a. long while past there nas been a iriction with these gentlemen, whose, demands are becoming more and more exorbitant. They h&ve driven "Choppy Warburton'" off his head, and little Michael, finding that he can never depend upon them, has threatened more than once to return to England. On Thurs- day rhey were the cause of a. serious out- i bieak, as follows:—Tom Linton was en- gaged to ride in a fifty kiloms race dot the Buifalo track, and he came to the post in- tending to start. Just as he was getting up he was approached by his pacemakers, who insisted upon an increase in the pay- ment that had been agreed upon. Tom Linton made a mental calculation, and found that by acceding to these demands he would have to pay them more than he would ob- tain himself in the event of his winning. This was not good enough. He went off the track, and this was the signal for an Up- roar. Someone threw things on the track, and everyone else did likewise. The chairs were broken up, and the posts and railings thrown down. The poli-ce were powerless to rtop the riot. "Choppy'' Warburton got upon the railings and started to harangue the crowd, but no one understood what he was saying. The police made a. rush for him and collared Linton's trainer, but he was very soon released by the public, who carried him oft in triumph. The row lasted for some time. but, fortunately, the damage done was not so con- siderable as at one time seemed probable. The manager of the track. M. Baduel. intends taking strong measures against the pacemakers, who were direct:y responsible for the out- break, and says that in future they will be prohibited from appearing at the Velodrome and the Seine. It is also probable that they will be dealt with by the riders' syndicate. On June 27, the day tha.t the N.C.U. championships are to be held at Newport, M'isha.el and the American champion Johnson will decide a couple of their matches at Wood Green track, London. The distance will be one imiie and ten miles. Pity there is not an odd event; winning one race each, which is likely to be the case, is so unsatisfactory. By the way, a match lias been arranged between Tom Linton and Piatt Betts, to take place at Wood Green on Whit Monday. The friends of MI", A. Blake Manning will be sorry to hea.r that he has met with a serious accident whilst cycling. He has broken several of his ribs, and at the present time lie is immersed in piaster of Paris. It is feared he will be unable to run again for some time, and it is even thought that he will not be able to run again at all. This will, no doubt, come as a shock to South Wales athletes, a.nd I have every reason to be-lieve their sympathy is with him. The accident is the imore distressing as lie was in splendid form and intended not only to defend his title as the Welsh quarter-mile champion, but also to run in the forthcoming English champion, ships at Northampton on July 4. T sincerely hope the accident is not so serious a-s it is thought, as Manning is not yet 21 years of age, and. it seems a pity for so smart a runner to be "done up" before he has reached his prime.

THE ROYAL VISIT. PRESENTATION OF ADDRESSES AT I ABERYSTWITH. The Aberystwit-h Town Council on Tuesday decided to present an illuminated address to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales on the occasion of their approaching visit, the drawing up of the address being en- trusted to a committee consisting of the fol- lowing gentlemen —The Mayor (Councillor Thomas Griffiths), the ex-Mayor (Councillor T. D. Harries), Alderman Peter Jones, and the Town-clerk.—It was also resolved that; Dr. Isambard Owen should be asked to arrange that the whole of the council should be pre- sent at the reception of his Royal Hignness the Prince of Wales and the Royal party a.t the railway station, and t-o request the ap- proval of the Prince of Wales to Miss Grif- fiths (the mayor's daughter) being presented to the Princess and the Princesses and also that Dr. Owen should) be asked whether it would be proper for the town council to take any, a.nd what, part in the procession from the pavilion after the installation cere- mony. The county council authorities at Aber- ystwith have' received intimation that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will be p.eased to receive an address from the county body on the occasion of his approaching visit. The address, which will be of a. handsome and I elaborate design, will be drawn up by the chairman of the county council (Alderman C. M. Williams) and the clerk (Mr. H. C. Fryer).

Yesterday's Cricket MR. DE TRAFFORD'S ENGLAND ELEVEN V. AUSTRALIANS. Fdlowhig a shower on Tuesday morning of a light character, the sky remained overc-wt until mid-day, when the prospect l ecame brighter, and there was a fair attendance at the Crystal Pai<vce when play was resumed at five minutes past twelve. At that time lxeduis (not out) and Gregory continued the Aus- tralian innings, in which overnight they had made 1j8 for the loss of four wickets, ag.i.inst the English- men's total of 114. Poughcr and Rawlin were the bowlers. Ituiis came steadily from both ends by both batsmen, but there were no big hits until Iredale cut Pfcbgher twice brilliantly for 4, otherwise the cricket jvas uneventful. By twenty minutes to one the total was advanced to 150. when Iredale was caught at slip, &nd Hill jo>ined Gregory. The latter then hit brilliantly, punishing all the bowling alike, completed his 50 in 50 minubr*. in an hour he made 62. Hill began quietly, and for t-onie time Gregory did nea-ly all the scoring, but the former settled down, and played finely. The 200 appeared at 1.10, and it was not until 2G3, or 113 for tlie partnership, that Hill was caught at the wicket. Eleven runs came from the first over after luncheon, and Gregory completed Ilia 100, as a result of two hours' cricket. Trumhle scored the faster of tlie two, and quickly made 20, both Alt,Id and llawlin coming in for heavy punishment. The 300 went up at 3.15, and live minutes later Mold gave way to Pougher, while at 318 iUwlin was displaced by Briggs. Trumble when 29 was missed at, cover-slip, and Gregory when 122 narrowly escaped being caught in the same position. Altogether Truinble assisted to put ou 84 for the seventh wicket,, and WaB then caught at cover-point. At 3.47 Gregory was bowled for a splendid 154 at 363. Gregory hit 21 4'11 and nine 3's, and was hr.tting three and a quarter hours. The innings closed at 4.25. The English Eleven then went to the wickets for the second time, but no stend was made, and the innings was over at ten minutes to six, leaving the Australians victorious by an innings ar.d 221 runs.

Despondent and Wet Blanket was a double many backers had yesterdiay. The reason was the peculiarity of the conjunction of the names. Mr. Jersey having purchased Dancing Wave. who made such a smart debut in the First Spring Meeting at headquarters, the filly has joined F. Webb's team. Aiarco was a good favourite for the Man- chester Cup at London yesterday at 5 to 1, and Baddiley and Ghislaine w< "e tteady at 6 to 1 and 7 to 1 respectively, while Tambour and Opera Glass advanced to JO TO 1 eac: For the Derby odds of 5 to 4- were laid on St. Frusqum- and Gulistan WR": supported at 25 to 1.,Earwig met with attention at 50 to 1, and 109 to 1 <=ach was recorded to Dunrobin and Spook.

The task set hint 17 was po" a formidable one, considering the rather moderate quality of the field, and the son of Jfsonomy had no difficulty in outlasting his five opponents over the mile nmd a half, and scoring in ready fashion. At the close of last flat-racing season be was put, to hurdles under the supervision of J. Cannon, and, though fail- Ípg-in thf hig- contests at Gat-wick and chester, his lessons over the st:cks were not altogether fruitless, for his performance imme- diately prior to Tuesday's victory was in the Abbots Hill Hurdle Race at Derby last month, when he beat Instep and others.

LICENSING COMMISSION, The first mating of the RoyaJ Commission on the Licensing Laws was held on Tuesday afternoon in the Queen's Robing-room, at the II ruse of Lords. Viscount Peel presided, and there was nearly a full attendance of members. Prior to the commencement of the public business a short sitting was held in private. Evidence on Tuesday was confined to putting upon record an official ac- count of the existing state of the licensing laws. Evidence upon this point was given at considerable length by Mr, Heberden, secretary of the Excise, and Mr. J. N. Highmore. solicitor to the Inland Revtnue Department of the Treasury. The former witness stated that licenses were very numerous and complex. About 192,000 licences were taken out. annually, and they brought in a revenue of £ 1,900,000 per annum. THE PROTECTION OF WITNESSES. In the House of Commons on Tuesday, Mr. BROADHURST asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether any steps would be taken bv the GoverllIDPnt to protect witnesses hefore the Royal Commission on the Licencing Ques- tion from injurious consequences arising from giving evidence before ihM body. The HOME SECRETARY, who replied, said that an Act of Parliament, as the lion, gentleman Wit" aware, was pa««ed far the purpose in 1892. nnd the Government, were, quite prepared to do everything that lay in their power to see that the Act was enforced.

Aocording to the "Fig-aro." thP armoint- mient of Captain Richard a« French Naval .f'. t b('hé i 1\ LonJolI is an accomplished fact. At the request of the Minister for Foreign Affairs it will not be officially known until other pending diplomatic appointments are am ounced. James Brag was charged at the Bromley Petty-sessions on Monday with assaulting a policeman. Ho was not content with the first assault. Watching hi" opportunity in the court, he got home on the constable's eye again, and bowled him over. James will languish in goal for five weeks.
