SEQUEL TO A DIVORCE
Sprlil to the Indianapolis Journa!.
MARION. Ind.. June 7. Mrs. Stephen Ap
plegtte, of Marion, Is the central figure in
a modern Enoch Arden story. Thirteen
years ago the woman who Is now Mrs. Ap-
plfgate was married to Edward Lindsay at
Cleveland. O. Shortly after their marriage
Lindsay was thrown out of employment
and was forced to leave hi3 wife and seek
employment in another city. He went to
Cleveland, O. For a number of weeks he
wrote to his wife, but finally his letters
ceased to come. She commenced a search
for him, but no trace of him could be
found. After years of waiting for his re
turn she wis forced to believe him dead.
Two years ago she came to this city. She
met Stephen Applegate and a short time
later they were married. She believed her
first husband dead, and thought the sec
ond jnarrlaqe legal. She was astortahed
three month3 ago when she found Lindsay,
her Jong lost husband, standing before her
when she answered a knock at the door of
her home In West Marion. Lindsay was
Informed by his wife that she had wedded
another after long waiting for his return,
but she at once suggested that she would
desert Applegate and go with her first hus
band. Linday refused to agree to this
pi art. He said that he would wait until
ehe could secure a divorce before reclaim
ing her. He then left the house, and
Applegate was not Informed of Lindsay's
visit. Mrs. Appiegate continued to live
with Appiegate until a few weeks ago,
when she weut to her mother's home. The
divorce suit which she instituted against
Appiegate was heard in the Circuit Court
yesterday, and the decree was granted.
It Is understood that the womau will
Join Lindsay at once. Lindsay was de
tained from returning to his wife because
of being imprisoned in the Ohio State Peni
tentiary for ten years. Rather than write
to his wife and tell her of his disgrace, he
remained silent and allowed her to believe
him dead.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NOBLESVILLE, Ind., June 7. At an
early hour this morning fire broke out In
the old buildings on the west side of the

permit their repair, as they are an eye
rorp to the city and had long been consid
ered a fire trap. The loss is not known.
Most of the goods in the shops and stores
were saved. There was no insurance on
goods or buildings. The fire is supposed to
have originated In a lot of excelsior in
Klepfer's second-hand store. Mice are sup
posed to have gnawed some matches near
the excelsior.

by his utterances. After the worshippers
had offered testimonials the strange man
arose and contradicted every statement
that had been made by the speakers who
had preceded him. After the service he
insisted on walking home with a young
woman who had come to the services alone
and told her that he was planning to take
her to the St. Louis fair. Since attending
this meeting he has annoyed several young
women of the church, following them
wherever they go. I.iast evening the fake
preacher boarded a street car upon which
Miss Mary ooten, a member of the
Friends' Cuurch, was riding, and attempted
to hug her. The conductor of the car ran

him. The young women of South Marion

is demented.

Not a Noslrum
When your hands or lips are chapped the
skin is in exactly the same condition that
the lining of your throat, bronchial tubes
or stomach is when those parts are
troubling you. You wouldn't think of using
any of the medicine on your chapped hands
that you take into your stomach to cure
your internal Ills. That's Just why so many
people are chronically complaining of
asthma, sore throat, lung afflictions and
stomach troubles. The best remedy known
for chapped skin Is ordinary cream. Milks'

Novel Features of the Liner Baltic
in Equipment and Carrying
Capacity.
NEW YORK, June 7. Within a few
weeks the largest ship afloat will again en
ter this harbor. This is the White Star
liner Baltic, which is due to arrive here on
her maiden voyage on July 7.
In succeeding to the title of Queen of the
Atlantic, the Baltio follows her sisters,
the Oceanic, Celtic and Cedric, which have
held it successively for the last five years.
The Investment of millions of dollars in
vessels of this class for passenger traffic
was somewhat In the nature of an experi
ment at the time that it was undertaken,
but its success Is indicated by the fact that
the Cedric. which until now has been the
leading exponent of this type of ship, last
year carried more first-cabin passengers,
trip for trip, than any other liner sailing
from New York.
Only a few days ago It was announced
that one of the German lines which here
tofore has been one of the leading com
petitors for speed had decided to adopt the
new style of ship and would build a liner
of over 30,000 tons, of the same type as the
Baltic.
H. Ismay, president of the WThite Star
Company, decided that the striving for
speed was going too far, and planned a
fship of greater size., steadiness, luxury and
reserve power than any in existence.
This was the inception of the Oceanic,
and the same ideas were carried still fur
ther In the construction of the Celtic and
Cedric, which followed soon after.
The Baltic has the same beam as the
Celtic and Cedric, but is twenty-five feet
longer and about 3,(X) tons heavier.
Her length is 725 feet 9 Inches, her beam
seventy-five feet and her' tonnage 24,000.
Not only is she a giant in size, but her
equipment shows the steady and rapid
progress that is being made In the con
struction of ocean vessels. Perhaps this Is
most marked in her various electrical de
vices, In respect of which the Baltic Is
far in advance of any liner now in commis
sion. Some of these are safety devices. To
prevent collisions in fogs or at any other
time there Is an indicator on the bridge
which points to tho exact location of any
ship entering its magnetic zone.
This is in the shape of a dial with a
needle set in its face. As soon as another
ship comes within a certain distance
about five miles the needle points directly
at it, and in this way its exact location
is made known.
This electrical machine is so delicate that
the screw revolutions of the approaching
steamer are registered by means of the
wave vibration, thus making it impossible
for another ship to creep upon the Baltic
In the dark or fog without its presence be
ing Indicated. These indicators are being
placed on the ships of the English navy.
The Baltic Is the first steamer to have
a. complete electric cooking and refriger
ating apparatus.

depends upon the condition of jour skin.
When It is soft and firm there is no rain.
When It is rough and chapped every move
of the affected parts causes suffering. The
skin, or mucous lining of the Internal parts,
performs Important functions. When it
gets Into the rough and sore condition
these functions are improperly and painful

proper secretions are not prpduced, the
food Is poorly digested, constipation re

the innumerable afflictions which beset the
human body.
It all starts from the unnatural condi

CHICAGO, June 7.-AdoptIon of infants
and small people by unmarried women,
young and old, of Chicago, has become an
established factor in the disposal of home
less children.
The reasons given for the taking to their
hearts of the little children who soon come
to mean so much to them are a3 various
as the children, but they all express the
same thought and feeling. Love for the In
nocent child nature lies at the root of the
adoption.
"Why shouldn't we adopt children?" ques
tion the tender-hearted women who have
followed the dictates of their natures. "Be
cause a woman does not marry it by no
means follows that she is not a good-natured
mother. And with so many home
less children In the world, in Chicago, good
mothers of any kind must certainly be of
use."
Miss Jessie P. Forsythe has a big house
at Winfleld, 111., a big garden and a heart
to match it. Miss Forsythe believes that
no home Is truly complete without children.
Two years ago, making up her mind to
prove the truth and value of her theory. he
looked about her for two smnll boys. When
Miss Mary M. Bartelme, public guardian of
Cook county, heard of Miss Forsythe she
pleaded in behalf of two orphan girls who
were her charges! Miss Forsythe, taking
the little girls on trial, found them so
charming that she adopted them. In none
of the experiences that have enriched her
life has she found such delight as In her
"children," she unhesitatingly declares.
And now, however, she Is planning to adopt
two small boys.
Several women physicians of Chicago
have brought happiness into lives already
well filled with unselfish endeavor by the
adoption of children. Dr. Louise Acres and
Dr. Emma Gabel are among these loving
women. To the first named have come
most of the Experiences, sorrowful and
joyous, experienced by mothers whose
children are theirs by right of birth.
Helen Brünett Acres, her first "treasure
baby," grew so close to her heart that no
"own mother" could have been more de
voted. And no "own mother" could have
mourned and grieved more sincerely than
Dr. Acres when, at the age of. three and
a half years, the baby slipped out of this
existence. The Helen Brünett Acres room
for tiny babies at the Mary Thompson
Hospital is a memorial of her sweet life.
The present delight of Dr. Acres, Eliz
abeth Stuart Acres, a happy little girl who
now trots gayly to kindergarten every
day, is of a different type cf childhood. But
she "fits in" as delightfully as her tiny
predecessor, says Dr. Acres, and dissemi
nates no small amount of joy.
Dr. Emma Gabel, once a teacher, has al
ways loved little children. Several years
ago she adopted Estelle, now a pupil of the
Francis Barker School, and began to en
joy life in a new manner. Dr. dabei in
sists that in no other way can such varied
joy be attained as by the lore, companion
ship and training of a little child. Some
day, with the prospective period of study
in Europe completed. Dr. Gabel Intends to
take another girl to share with Estelle her
home and affections.
