A peculiar state of affairs has Just been brought lo light In the domestic relations of David Apotheker, a clolblcr, ot Christopher street and butter avenue, Brooklyn.

"This Is how It happened," Baid Mrs.hva,to an Ev eninq W'oki reporter this morning. "David and I wero married In aalllcla, fifteen years ago. Wo had six children and lived happily together until four years ago, when my husband came to America to hotter tils fortune.

Tor two years he sont me money regularly, and promised from tlmo to time to allow me and tbo children to lollow him to America. "Then ho BUddcAly stopped sending us money. For two years 1 never received a cent from him, until about five months ago, when he Rent possago tickets lor the twa elder ot our three living children. mado up my mind to fathom tho secret ot bavld's coldness towards me, and lag tho two elder children and leaving the youngest In charge of my Bister In aalllcla, I came to America, landing at Ellis Island moro than four months ago. It was a whole week, however, before I was allowed to land In New York, during which tlmo my husband was making every effort to get me returned hurope.

ono ot tho employees on Rills Island seemed to bo my husband's friend, and once, Wrhen David promised me $100 Iff would go back, iho employee also coaxed and then threatened mt. But I was determined lo land and land I did. I Then It was that tho reason became apparent why my husband desired roe to bo out i of bis way. He was living with uuother woman, by ham he had two children, audi be Implored me not to divulge my Identity ns bis wile, because It would gel blm Into great trouble as ho wsb married to the woman with whom he was living. He promised that be would provide amply for our children and said ihat if I got married ajapi he would give me 1100 lo casb.

A lot ot friends ot my husband then got nrotlnd me and. partly to get rw promised commission ot rJO, they Induced mo io accept the attentions of Kmtlovltch. whom 1 married iwomontbsbgo, my husband and tho scbar-cbens having roprcsentcd to me that I could lawfully do so. -Apotheker bad deposited (100 with a lawyer, who was to pay me tba monoy after tbe vreddlnir. However, no sooner was the I marrlago ceremony over tban David said 1 to mo Now tbe wbln that you've held i over me la nrokcu and I've got you by tbo neck.

It you ever trouble me again I'll maku It hot for you, and as for tha tlOO, you may whistle for It. I have tuken ll back from tbe lawyer." I I don't know who the ltahbl was that married mo to Smllotltcb, nor ao I know tbe namo or address ot tbo lawyer. Hut these 'are the names of tbo scbatcbens: Mr. Manor, Ml Norfolk street Moses W'cln. 711 Kldrldgo street Mrs.

"Ah, then you know all about It, madam?" queried the reporter.

Well, all I know about It 3 that Eva Apotheker was divorced in Europe; that we were not schatchens: that she was a fool to mind Apotheker when be bado bcr get married again. "IIo.v do you know that Eva was divorced I "A pothekcr said so." 1 Eva ears that the marriage ceremony mult have been a farce, as tbo rabbi gave no certificate, and when her now husband learned tbat sbo was not to bare tbe 100 ho quietly 1 stole away.

Prof. Gulbnl befeuts the Suit of Managers Hopkins mill Miner. 1 he case of John D. Hopkins, proprietor ot Hopkins Transoceanic company, against Prof. Adolpb Fernacd auibat, the psyebo-nollst, has been an alisorblng topic ot discussion on the Itlalto and In tha ofllccs ot theatrical managers ever siaco the Injunction was granted restraining tbe rrotessor from performing under an Individual contract at tho Eden Uusoe.

The result ot tbe argument on tha motion to dissolve the Injunction made by mend House, counsel lor the rroitsaor. 4 before Judge Froedman In supreme Court, hai been awaited with deep interest; as a dectstdn for thu appellant would caubllsb a precedent, corroot what the profession considers a longstanding abuse and restore certiln rights to performers which managers bate arbitrarily denied. Prof, auibai "and bis assistant, Marie Ore-vllle, were engaged by Hopkins Miner In London July a list for a period ot two years at 100 per week. Under the leituof tb contract Jhey were restrained from performing in any tbeatro or museum or other place where their services had not been contracted for through Messrs. Hopkins A Miner, without the written permission ot those gentlemen.

Another clause of tbo contract was lo the effect that When not given employment by the managers they wero not to receive auy compensation. Tbero was no protection whatever lh the contract frr theporfarmtra, and for that reason the Judge decided lbs contract was not equitable and tbereforo granted tho motion. Judtre Freedenan ssyst "1 he contract does not Impose correlative duties and obligations upon thu respective Ear lies thereto. Although the defendants ind themselves thereunder tu perform for the plaintiffs lor a period of two years there Is no obligation Imposed on tbe plain tiff In express terms or by tslr implication, to kite a performance, and ibe contract expressly provides that, unless there be a periormance, me defendants shall have no compensation. 1 bo defect Is a fatal one, tor the court cannot, as a condition of granting tbe Injunctlon.ordrr tbat tbe plaintiff, must give employment to tbe dcfebilauls, should, they demand It, because tbat would be making a hew contract between tbe parties.

"Moreover, under the contract the plaintiffs are tbo sole Judges of whether tho service ot tbe deienaanis, If any should bo ren. riered, are satisfactory, and can arbitrarily decide tbat such services are unsatisfactory, and tn such case ibe defendants are made to relinquish all claims lo conircnsation or salary, Ihus It appears that tho plaintiffs can keep the defendants for the euuru period of tho two years, for which tbe defendants have buund themselves, out ol employment, without giving them any compensation there-lor, and at the samo time prevent them from earning a livelihood elsewhere, or If the dependants are permitted to periorm, they loaje by the plaintiffs to lose i heir claim to compensation. Such a contract will not bo enforced In equity. in the next place, tlio catrs in which In-Junt lions have Lecu beretd-ru granted were cases where the platqiifl enjoined was attached to a company or a theatre, end tbo picsehcn of the person enjoined was lnalspenstble to tbe success of tbe company or theatre. In tbe present case, the aeioadaats are Independent perforuiors.
