It, was a dramatic situation In Judge Gates' court yesterday when: William Gaulter took the TV itness stand to bo cross-examined by his wife, who is conducting her own divorce, suit- For fifteen minutes Mr. Gaulter. a strong, powerfully built man, wriggled a.bout under the relentless flro of questions to which his slender, determined little' wife, subjected him. Several times he attempted evasion but she held him firmly to the point each, time until the judge came to her rescue with a command thattne -witness answer the quesion directly aind positively. Mrs.

He sayis she has become deranged over free-loo and various religious topics, but she deriiip his charge with emphasis and explains 'all her actions in the most rational and convincing manner. She Wrote, to Jerome Page.

There is nothing the least bit sensual in her face, yet her hu-'band has produced a ecore or letters.ln court which Mrs. Gaulter admits having written to Jerome Page, a detective of Independence, making the most compromising offers and telling him that she -loves him and must marry him. She wrote these letters, she says, solely for the purpose of laying a foundation for the divorce suit, and does mot, in fact, Jove Mr. Page, nor have there ever been any Improper relations between them. Mrs.

Gaulter entered upon the trial of her case two days ago under a protest from Judge Gates, who did not believe would be able to conduct it. But she has astonished Judge Gates and scores of lawyers by the skill with which she has handled the witnesses, discrediting the tes timony of some and bringing out that of others. Her to the questions of Attorney Joe McCoy, representing her husband, have been repeatedly sustained by the court. The courtroom was crowded all day yesterday with lawyers curious, to see how a woman would conduct a suit and that suit her own for divorce. Conducts Her Cane 'Well.

Whenever Mrs. Gaulter made a timely objection or brought out a telling point on cross-examination, lawyers could be seen nodding approvingly at each other all over the courtroom. Once when one of her witnesses began to tell of the contents of letters he had received, she stopped him instantly with the suggestion that the letters, themselves, would be the best evidence of what tbey contained. And yet Mrs. Gaulter never studied a day and has been inside of a courtroom but a few times in all her life.

Browbeats Iter Spouse, It was when "her husband went upon the witness stand at the end of a long day of testimony yesterday that everybody bent forward to see how the strange woman would question him. She sat with her chair tipped forward, leaning toward the witness, with the petition and papers In her case held tightly in one hand and the other hand gripping the arm of her chair. After asking several preliminary questions of an unimportant nature, she asked: "Have -you always treated me as you should? She was looking steadily and calmly Into ner husbands eyes, tie wavered a little, but answered: "I've always endeavored to." "That Is not the question. I did not ask what you had endeavored to do. 1 ask what you have done.

Have you, I repeat, always treated me as a husband should treat his wife?" Mr. Gaulter looked about as though meditating an escape through one of the windows. Then he glared angrily at his wife, who had not removed her gaze from him. Next he gritted his huge, square jaws together in an effort to repress the temper that witnesses had testified was very explosive and violent. he began: "I've, I've always tried "Stop! Never mind! Answer my question directly!" "Answer the question 'yes" or interposed Judge "Yes, I' have," said the witness, with a tcarlet face.

Mrs. Gaulter looked at the floor for nearly a minute after this nnswer and bit Iicr lips. She seemed to be thinking of the long hours of cruelty and abuse the witnesses had told of In court. "Have I always loved our four children?" sho next asked. Her oldest child, a girl of 13, stood at riRS.

E. K. Mrs. E. K.

Johnson, a clever English woman, has a unique profession which is likely to prove a financial success. She lias avoided the beaten ttack usuilly trodden by women and has opened an art etore or studio In London. Mrs. Johnson's husband, who died three years since, was un nrtlst and a prominent member of thc water ioior society, lie had an raiBMflBPP that moment by her side, toying with the plume on her mother's hat. Both Hud Tears In Their Eyes.

Tears came into the eyes of both parents. "Yes, ma'am," he answered. "Did you ever plead with me not to put you in jail?" she asked, referring to a time when she had threatened her husband for whipping their little boy until his back and arms were blue and bleeding. "I admitted to you," said the witness, "that you had the screws on mo and could tighten them if you wished." This answer didn't suit Mrs. Gaulter.

She repeated the question. Gaulter began hesitatingly and she said: "Tell the truth, please!" Saulter tried again to answer in a roundabout way, but his wife stopped him, and for the next five minutes his replies were yea, yea. and nay, nay. A brother of Jerome Page, who Is a blacksmith at Independence, was the husband's best witness. He testified that Mrs.

Gaulter had come to his house several times at night, leaving letters under the door for Jerome and other members of the household. He had finally warned her not to come back again, telling her that lie disliked to have a woman arrested. 'A Dangerous, Treucberous Woninn." Mr. iPage showed considerable feeling, and in answer to one of Mrs. questions, said: "I think you are a dangerous, treacherous woman!" "You do?" smilingly.

"Yes. I do. I could prosecute you for the letters you've written, but I'd rather bear all the bother you've given me for the last two years than to have you arrested or get mixed up in this thing. "Why do you think I am treacherous? Did 1 ever do anything to make you think so?" Mr. Page explained that one expression of hers In a letter was: "The game of insanity now being off." He believed, he said, that, if she would play that sho was Insane, she would do other treacnerous things.

Mrs. Gaulter showed that she referred to her husband's game in charging that she was insane, and not to any game or her own. Her husband wanted to put her away in an asylum, she said. Mr. Page testified that he had seen his brother.

When on trial before Justice Spitz a few days ago, Williams had no recollection of the timepiece and was informed by the judge that unless his memory was restored to him his sentence would be six months in the county jail. A few days behind the bars effected "the cure," but it cost Mrs. Williams JS to obtain possession of the watch. Williams was released.

They Claim That Their Business Is Being Ruined by the Dishonest Dealers "IVho Use Embalm- lng Fluids In Milk. Several dairymen who claim to bo selling only pure milk, and who realize tli.it their business is being ruined by other dairymen who deal in "embalmed" milk, called on tho city health otllccr yestorday after reading The Journal and offered him any assistance in their power to convict violators of the law. Before they left It was determined to co-operate not only with the health department, but with each other.

"It is a question of whether we go out of business or stop the sale of adulterated milk," said one of them. "And In our efforts to do the latter wc have got to have the assistance of the public. At this time of the year it is impossible to sell pure milk under 25 cents a gallon and make a profit from it. Yet there are dairymen in Kansas City who are selling it at wholesale for 7 and cents a gallon. Of course, tho milk Is not pure and the person who buys It at that price ought to know it is not pure.

This cheap milk is obtained by letting pure milk stand until every particle of cream has been cast. It is then mixed with formaldehyde, so that it will keep for an Indefinite period, and a preparation added that thickens it up and makes it look like good milk. When they get through with It the result Is the poorest quality of skim milk with enough chemicals added to make It pass for the pure article and it is sold at any price that can be obtained for It. As it will keep any length of time, even in the house and at the side of a stove, they can suffer no loss and what can't bo disposed of one day can be offered for sale a. week later, with no apparent change In the quality and appearance of the stuff.

Naturally dealers who handle only pure milk are at a great disadvantage in trying to compete with these men and we have simply got to combine and drive them out of the city. Another thing that hurts our business Is the' publicity given to the practices of dishonest milkmen. The people are unable to separate the honest from the dishonest and, afraid of getting a drugged article, they use as little milk as possible. Where they need milk for children they discard Its use entirely- and purchase artificial foods. If only nure milk, were sold in the city, and the public knew that to be a fact, there are not enough dairies here to supply the demand." It was learned yesterday that some of the dealers in "preservallne" and artificial butter fat have a number of agents throughout the city who visit the different dairies and try to sell their goods.

Dairymen who want the sale of impure milk stopped have promised to notify the health department the next time they are visited by one 'of these men and assist in having him placed under arrest. City Chemist Carter yesterday finished analyzing the last package of "preservallne" secured by the health department and has marked each package with the result of the test. In addition he has to make an official record of his work on blanks provided for that purpose and when this is completed the health department will be ready to have warrants issued for the arrest of dealers in the adulterant and the dairymen who are known to have used it. Speaking of the use of formaldehyde, City Physician Coffin said: "It is a deadly poison and placed in the hands of an ignorant milk dealer or dairyman is a constant menace to life. The directions on the packages sold are supposed to tell him how much to use, but what Is to prevent one of these men from carelessness, indifference or possibly when under the influence of liquor doubling that amount and pois onlng a score or more of his customers? Formaldehyde is very useful for some purposes, and one of those purposes is to make the pickle In which dead bodies are kept at medical colleges.

No punishment is too severe for the man who puts it into an article of food or drink." AS TO SLOT MACHINES. City License Collector Refuses to Issue Licenses and Asks City Counselor's Advice. City License Collector Wuerz is refusing to issue licenses for slot machines, and will continue to do so until he gets an opinion from the city counselor as to whether or not the poolroom ordinance applies to that class of gambling. If the counselor decides It does, Mr. Wuerz will issue no more licenses for slot machines and will leave it to the police department to arrest anyone who is operating thee automatic collectors of pennies and nickels.

George II. Combs Lectures Eloquently on the Great but Eccentric Philosopher. Rev. Dr." George H. Combs lectured last evening at the Christian church, Sixth and Prospect, on Thomas Carlyle.

The lecture was the second of a series on prominent literary characters and was highly appreciated by the -representative people in at tendance. The subject was handles wun the grace and eloquence characteristic of the speaker. "Three difficulties," he said, "confront every student of Carlyle. First, the volu-mlnousness of his works forty stiff volumes in all; secondly, his dual personality both scholar and peasant; thirdly, his style. If the cynics sneer that language is to conceal thought, then Carlyle deserves the palm, for, however dramatically and effectively it sometimes sets forth the truth.

It cannot be gainsaid that under its blotches and brilliant rays and splendid fragmentarlness and heavenly corruscatlons all the ideas of the universe might escape detection." As an economist, a political philosopher, the lecturer held Carlyle did no constructive and lasting work. "Passionate and un- forgetable indictments he gives us 01 existing conditions, but the clue to the maze he does not bring. To his fuming, gasping, apoplectic excoriations you listen with wonder, but not with profit." Carlyle, the preacher, was then considered, and his chief doctrines, what the lecturer styled his gospels, were enumerated: Tho nobll'ty of work, the mortality of shams, the unreality of materialism, and that fantastic doctrine of silence. But it is. as a painter, the speaker affirmed, that Carlyle will live.

"As an economist and preacher," said he, "he will be forgotten, but as a painter he will live forever. Despising art, it is yet his art that renders him supreme." Examples were given of Cariyle's interpretations of nature, but his merit went further. "He could paint the minds. Here we get, to my thinking, to the very heart of Cariyle's genius hi3 ability to paint, not only external things, ships, stars, seas, but the inner as well the aspirations, hopes, fears, blrjths and dyings of the human soul. His greatest paintings are his 'French valuable in the order named." The French Revolution, he declared, furnished the most congenial field for Cariyle's genius.

"Here," said he, "is tragedy in its supremest expression. If beauty reaches its hlgheat -point In the very act of change, so tragedy Is masterfully alive not when stationary, as in the marbles and bronzes of the Greeks, but in the furies of a mighty change. And so in these shifting scenes of strife tragedy is pinnacled." THOUSANDS YET REMAIN.

North bedroom-set went to another man at Burrton, Kas. The. country people have reason to feel well over the way the blind goddess of fortune smiled upon them in the Convention hall gift enterprise.

Though about two-thirds of the 100,000 tickets were sold to Kansas Cltyans. about two-thirds of the' aggregate value of the gifts went to people outside of the city. 'Armour Rose-was the most valuable gift drawn in Kansas City and about the only one of great value, while the $4,000 house, most of the valuable live stock and the larger proportion of the other valuable prizes went to the country people.

Not only do they have to mail the sheet music, starch and other light articles and get the heavier ones ready for shipment, but every day they receive stacks of letters with bunches of tickets to be examined to see if they won anything. Whether they did or did not a letter must be written in reply stating the facts. Many valuable gifts still remain and those in charge hope the lucky people will come and get them soon in order that the headquarters may be closed. ANNUAL MEETING TIME.

Case, son of Colonel Theodora S. Case, who, a year ago, was engaged in making preliminary surveys for a railroad in the United States of Colombia, South America, is now In Havana. It is thought he is there on similar business, though, Mr. Case is not at liberty to disclose tha nature of his errand. Mr.

Case left her December 31. arriving in Havana on- tha first ship to enter the harbor after tha Americans had formally taken possession, of the city. In a letter to his father, he describes the enthusiasm with which tha boat-was saluted from Monro castle and tho shore batteries, and the welcome tho passengers received upon landing. He says but little about that often described city, except to affirm, what has been written about the filth. OASTOHIA.
