EVER GO TO RENO
New England Women, Now Seek
ing Divorce There, Number
75 or Iiess.
Reno, Nov., Dec. 3. Tho Christmas
4ason finds a mlnslInK of pleasure and
pathos, of Joy nnd K.-idness, of IlKht
hearted Bnycty nnd sombre henrtnche
among the members of the "divorce
colony" In Ileno. There are hero to-day
upwnrd of BOO mlsmated souls, SO per cent,
of whom are women, here for no other
purpose thnn to Hocure lepal freedom
from mnrltnl bonds nnd then to hurry
back enstwnrd, northward, southward,
westwnrd to the pccnes purroundlnn their
former hearthstone.
AmonK these. New KnKland Is well
represented, the Influence of Its early
Puritan days not sufficiently pronounced
In this latter nee of unfortunate mar
riages to withstand the divorce courts.
To the credit, however, of the rlymouth
Rock section of this nation, bo It said,
that from the New KnKland States come
less of the jray frivolous, yes, dlsreputnblc,
men and women seeking a divorce decree,
whose conduct, or rather misconduct,
has cast disrepute upon this serious busi
ness than from any other section of tho
country.
There are notable exceptions, but os a
class, the people whose complaints specify
some Now Knclnnd city or town as
tho place of their family connections and
marriage arc less conspicuous by any
reprehensible social proclivities thnn those
from any other part of tho country.
This may ho simply a matter of coin
cidence: on the other hand, the moral
tore of New KnRlnnd life may have
mi.rh to do with It. Sufflco It to say
thnt to-duy there Is not a Blnslo man or
woman from New Kntrlnnd, ns far as
Known, amonK tho many here for this
one purpose, who Is numbered nmonfi
those who have thrown all regard for
reputation to the four winds nnd are
"flylnp hlRh" in the social Bwirl of the
pleasure seekers conspicuous in the
limelight of Ileno.
SUIUNK FROM LIMELIGHT.
However, this does not contemplate by
nny means that all of those from New
Knfrland nre devoting their undivided
time nnd attention to religious, ehnrlt
nble or reformatory work or keeping
themselves entirely within the confines
of their own home cottages, or the four
walls of their nbodes in apartment
houses or hotels. Mnny of them arc
familiar figures In public, on the streets
and In the shops, cafes nnd places of
entertainment.
While some avoid public attention nnd
tind occupation quietly with others of
their family who may be here with them,
within their modest little homes on a
'lulet street of the residential section of
the city, others find their diversion In
the saddle, nutomoblle, dances, theatres
and cafe dinners, the lntter the only
places in which to appen.se their love,
for music, outside of tho theatres and
churches.
With tho thoughts of Christmas and
the New Tenr approaching, those com
pelled to spend thtse holidays In Reno,
Z.fOi miles from their kindred nnd tho
r-cenes of former homo circles, rind
themselves confronted with n new ex
perience, strangely unique. In which past
vfiub, wnicn can never be forgotten,
loom up before them.
The women especially, as at no other
time, in a rain effort to forget, a deter
mined attempt "to make the best of It all
nnd bo happy," enter Into tho now life
of the West, yet realizing thnt not even
the bright, cheerful Nevada sunshine can
penetrate the overhanging cloud of a
broken homo nor render the sequel bright
er by contrast.
OVKIt 200 NEW ENGLANDEHS.
Thus Heno, with Its aggregation of
seekers for the little pieces of paper which
can sever them completely for all tlmo
from one whom they once loved and cher
ished, presents to-day a situation un
paralleled on earth.
In this some 200 New Engenders have
plnyed a part during the past two years,
while others are to-day occupying places
of more or less prominence In the continu
ous performance of untying marital knots
of the ill-mated from other States. Be
hind the glamour of assumed content
ment one finds a scene truly pathetic.
The Joy-rldlng In automobile or behind
a spirited tenm, or galloping with a. party
of companions in the saddle, does not dis
close the story of sorrow and heart break
ing which preceded such apparent care
free diversion, but a glance Into the moth
er's countenance as she fondles her little
child does, the recital in the witness chair
nt the court house of what finally hrought
her to Reno, often does, the little confi
dential chnt with n sympathizing new
found companion far from home does,
and the crucible of adversity Is full with
memories as the Thanksgiving passed
without the cheer of Its family reunion
and the Joyous chimes of the Christmas
morn and happy ringing In of the new
year herald anything but "peace and hap
piness." Hut to thore who with apparent seri
ous thought of ronsequences entered Into
marital relations nnd with equal In
difference seek relief In the courts, Christ
mas in Reno and Christmas In New Eng
land offer nothing In variance. Tho gifts
have to travel a greater distance, that's
all.
They are having a good time, here ns
there, with no compunctions of con
science nor suffering from actions of
another to disturb their exacting dp
ninnds upon tho Goddess of Pleasure.
HETRAYINO IIOMB TOWNS.
There are between M and "5 women
members of the "colony" hero to-day
from various parts of New Kngland,
not generally known, either ns to their
identity or tho fact that they came from
those States. This is explained by the
fact that many aro determined to avoid
any publicity and resort to extreme
means to accomplish such Intention by
assuming fictitious names and giving
wrong names of homo places for tho pur
pose of misleading.
The Overland limited train, upon which
a great majority of them come, arrives
at four o'clock in the morning and they
go direct to the Riverside Hotel, whoro
they remain only that day and then dls
appear to some cottage or apartment
house, eeleeted frequently by their at
tomeya, to whom they are usually re
ferred ly eome eastern law firm before
leaving for the West.

Fair I'rlce.
The Central Vermont Hallway company
has withdrawn opposition to the claim
of the city of Burlington for tho exten
sion of College street to tho Luke Chiim
plnln water front. Thn cotnpnny hnH also
withdrawn Its opposition to tho con
dcmnatlon of the land south of College
street for tho iurpoes of a public wharf;
but tho railroad reserves the right to con
test tho ainoSnt of the nllowunrn mucin
by the city council for damages, namely,
K.CW.
This action on the part of tho Central
Vermont Hallway company wns an
nounced Tuesday .by Its attorney, C. W.
Witters of St. Albans, while In this
city.
"But." added Mr. Witter, "the com
pany hopes that the railway and tho city
will como to nn ngrecment in regard co
tho sum tn bo paid for the land con
demned, without a resort to litigation,"
Mr. Witters nnd II. S, Peel; of this city,

estimate the value of the lanl condemned
by the city for a puhllc wharf as from
$9,Cm to $10,"W, If not moie.
"The railway company," said Mr,
Witters, "went to great fprnsn In mak
ing thnt land icady for Its use. Much
filling In had to be done, nnd when the
station wns lif.llt piles had to be driven
to n depth of i feet, go as to got a solid
foundation underneath the soft suiface
soil. The land In that vicinity is made
land, nnd for this renon our claim for
damages Is a sound one."
Mr. Witters said thnt no action would
be token in regnrd to the renewal nf tho
Lnke Chnrnplnln Yacht club's lease of a
portion of the company's dock at tho foot
of College street until after the settle
ment of the union station problem had
been effected
"I think," said he, "that the members
of the yacht club, in general, under
stnnd our attitude upon this matter. The
club has had the use of the dock for ten
years, nt n merely nominal charge for
rent, and they know that our treatment
of them ha-s been fair In the past.
"With matters In the present unsettled
state that exists In regard to the prop
erty In the vlclplty of the club house,
naturally wo enn not net definitely upon
tho club's request for a renewal of tho
lease until the other points now under
consideration aro decide d.
"For the prcrent, however, tho club will
continue to hnvo the ue of their present
qunrters on the dock, landing the settle
ment of tho station question. But I pre
sume that provision for tho club can
eventually be made."
"This action of the Central Vermont
railway," said Mr. Perk Tuesday, re
ferring to the company's withdrawal of
some of Its objections, "will bo of mutual
benefit to the city and the railroad."
The railway company took appeal from
the action of the city council, condemning
the .land for'jhc proposed public whnrf,
in regard tcj the amount of damages due
from the clt-J and a cpppjifsslon was ap
pointed In Chittenden' county court to
hear the case. This commission has not
yet reported. The company Is now under
a temporary injunction lestralnlng it fiom
laying additional tracks west of the
present right of way across the lower out
let of College street. Yesterday's action
on tho part of the company eliminates thn
necessity for further litigation In con
nection with the Injunction proceedings.

To it no Stnv In Better Condi
tion Thnn liver Before.
The roads of Chittenden county nt the
present time, when work for tho season
of Hill ha.H Just been completed, nro un
doubtedly in tho best shape thc.v have
been since trails were first mndu through
the wHdernoBs Stnt. Itniid Commissioner
O. W. dates has been liberal In his appro-1
prlatlon of money for tho betterment of I
road conditions In this, the most traveled
rounty of tho State, nnd the results arc '
apparent to nny ono who does nny travel
ing outside of tho city limits. This Is all '
of considerable Importance to Burlington I
mid Is, moreover. In ono hciisc the city's I
due, .since Its contribution to tho State
road fund Is more than Jc.OCO, far In ex
cess of any other city or town. This 1
money consists of nvo per cent, of tho
tax on the grand list, and an Burlington '
leads the Stnto In that particular It con-
sequently lends In the amount paid 'nto 1
tho road fund. !
South Burlington, Krstx, Bolton, Col
chester and Milton are tho towns In
which thn greatest Improvements have
been made, all of which nre ojT a perma
nent nature. A traveler along thu Willis
ton nml lllnrsburg road would hardly
recognize some of the bad places which
formerly tormented him. The State nu.,
put In $:,C"l near the lOldrldge schoolhoufo
and made l.fdO feet of crushed stone road
way. Much has also been done there In
reducing the r.rade by cutting down the
hill and lining In. On litneaburg road, or
Fourth street, the State expended J1.S0O
In putting In crushed stone, and effectu
ally wiped out nearly a quarter of a mile
nf very sandy road.
The road between Burlington and Mont
peller ha.s been greatly strengthened In
Bolton, where f-',i;i) was spent mile and
a halt above the village In what was con
sidered by automobllls'ts about the worst I
place between here nnd Boston. There
was a stllf hill at that iolnt with a num
ber of bad turns which made passing dan
gerous. The turn ere largely taken
away and a large difference, mndo In the
grade. A number of rocks formerly Jut
ted out to the road's edge so thnt thn
passing of two teams was an Impossibil
ity and the load was little more than a
trail. Then,' were blasted away, about J-io'j
being spent In this task alone.
The sum of $J,(Ki was spent in the town
of Lsscx. but the work was more scat
tend and confined mostlv to ridding the
highways of several sandy stretches.
Crushed stone and gravel were put In
large qitnntitlex on the main road between
thu Junction and Colchester and tho work
carried right up to the Colchester line.
About $500 was spent near the old Buell
place above F.ssex Junction and muen
was accomplished In cutting down the
hill I'ist of the lsex Classical Institute
nnd other hills nt various points
Only the regular appropriation was ex-

was nearly all used in building ,i new ,
bridge over a brook on the main road be
tween Burlington and thnt village, Just
south of the road that skirts the head or
Shelburne bay. Much trouble has been
experienced at tills point with h'gh water
which swept parts of tlic road bed away.
It Is now believed that this trouble has
been lone away with. In Milton, the
nid, ;- short distance south of Sandbar 1
bridge, ns bettered by lengthening the
approach to the Iron bridge ) feet and In
lessening the grade .six feet. Other Im
portant steps In the direction of good
roads were taken all over the country
nnd If the snme progress is made next
yonr practically all of the main roads In
the county will be In good condition.
