ship 1(er friends were carefil
to let him iee her only at such
times. He subsequently re
moved to Indiana, where he
procured a divorce. The mat
ter was proceeded \vwith accord
ing to law, and in her lucid in- t
tervals the wife consented to
have the decree decree of marriage
set aside. At the husband's
instance a guardian was ap,
pointed to look after her inter
ests, and in course of time the
courts granted an absolute di
voice.
Dr. Wight then married Miss
Catharine Chamberlain, and
here comes in the remarkable
part of this strange domestic
history. IIe and his second
wife adopted the first, who was
taken into their house on the
footing of a daughter. She
required every care and atten
tion, and she had it from both.
The second wife died while
they were living in Oconomo
woc, Wis., and he was then
obliged to find a place of ref
uge other than his own home
for his first wife. He placed
her under the charge of Sis
ters of Charity in, a retreat in
Wisconsin, and she is there at
this time. He had never fail
ed to provide for her to the day
of his death, though at times
in straitened circumstances
himself. The Chtholic church
refuises to recognize absolute
divorce, and in the institution
where the invalid is cared for
she has always .been known as
Dr. Wight's wife. The cir
cumstances created a great
scandal at the time, and a long
conatroversy was carried on
years ago in Wisconsin, where
she lived. The singular cir
cumstance that he and his sec
ond wife should adopt and care
for his first gave rise to no end
of.gossip and surmise and uin
pleasant suggestions of all con
ceivable sorts. But the mat
ter had so completely died out
of late years that in his latest
home the facts were entirely
unknown, and only his death
has revealed them, his course
seems to have been honorable
throughout and dictated by sin
cere affection under very try
ing circumstances.
He was esteemed in this city
for the purity of his private
life, and at the same time ad
mired for his almost encyclo
pedic knowledge and his great
ability in connection with all
phases of sanitary science and
improvement.-Ne w Yo r k
