The unusual spectacle of a woman in a barber's chair was witnessed at Union Sta- tion Friday morning. A inan, accompanied by a woman, walked into the station barber shop. The man went to one of the chairs and told the barber he wanted a shave. To the surprise of the of the razor the woman seated herself in the next chair and indi- cated that she, teo, wanted her chin relleved of superfluous hair. Barber E. @ Smith did the work. . The Woman «aid to Ne Post-Dispatch that she was Mrs. John Maloney of Springfield.

MAUDE NEUSCHELER, NEE BREDEN, SEEKS A DIVORCE. CHARGES OF HARSH TREATMENT She Has Returned to Her Mother’s Home, Leaving Her Wealthy New York Husband. In Circuit Courtroom No. 5 there has been filed a petition entitled Neuscheler vs. Neuscheler. It is a plea for divorce, and the case will be tried in December, Four years ago Maude Breden, a High Schoo] pupil in short skirts, left her studies to become the wife of Irving Neuscheler, a youthful New Yorker, son of a million- aire. Miss Breden had not made her entry into society, Dut her beauty and antecedents prophesied a. brilliant social future. The courtship was brief; the union romantic. A host of friends bade the bride farewell and she departed for New York to live in the metropolis with her husband. St. Louis society lost track of Mrs. Neuscheler. Nothing to discredit the origi- nal prophecy of a brilliant wedding reached her friends here. Mrs. Neuscheler has now returned to St. Louis and it is she who is seeeking a di- vorce. Her sadly petition is a story of unhappiness at variance with the hopes of fvur years ago. She alleges that hér husband struck her with his fists, knocked her down and seriously endangered her health by brutality. She declares that within six months after the marriage he became an habitual drinker. She charges that she was at times obliged to flee from him for fear of her life, and that she left him two years after the marriage, then returned at his earnest solicitation to find that her life became even more miserable after the reconciliation, and finally absolutely un- bearable. She avers that she was beaten again and that her face was discolored by his fists. She left him for good in July last, and with her babv came to St. Louis. Since then she has been living quietly with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otis Breden, at 4116 Delmar boulevard. Few of her old friends know of her return to St. Louis, and those looked upon her presence here as only a visit to her family. Despite the effects of her troublous mar- ried life. Mrs. Neuscheler is one of the real. ly beautiful women of St. Louis. She is | of the type of women who have dark hair and blue eyes—her eyes are large—and the clear complexion that contrasts pleasingly with her dark hair and eyebrows. She is tall. somewhat stately, has the kind of form women envy; she looks beautiful in clinging evening dress or tightfitting tailor gown. A recent picture of Mrs. Neuscheler taken by a leading photographer is regard- ed by the latter as one of the prettiest in his studio. Mrs. Neuscheler said to the Post-Dispatch Fridav: ‘““My marriage was unfortunate, that was all. I bore the misfortune as long as pos- | sible, and when it became unbearable I | took the only course left to me.’ | ‘Tt {ef useless for me to theorize on what | might have been, or what brought about | the misfortune. | was miserable beyond tol- | eration. through no fault of mine and I | took the only method of escape. I en- | deavored to avoid a divorce for baby's sake, putting uside my own feelings, and , went so far as to try to live with Mr. Neuscheler after we separated. The at- tempt was .ueeless. My condition became worse than before.” The coupie were married in St. Louts, . 16, 1895, and went to New York imme- diately. Neuscheler’s father is a retired capitalist and the young man traveled ifn | h's father's interests, but resided during the greater part of the time in New York "Ity. “Te September, 1898, Mrs. Nguscheler al- leges her husband's conduct was such that ' to her parents. Soon after her arrival in St. Loula Mr. Neuscheler made efforts at situation, She declined to return at ! first, but eventually yielded. and in March | a reconciliation last she and the baby went back to New York. The peace lasted four months. Mrs. Neuscheler alleges that she discovered her husband had become a user of morphine, and that he did not change his treatment of her. In July he struck her again, she charges, and with such force that the serv- ices of a physician were necessary. Following this assault Mrs. Neuscheler left her husband, determined to return to him no more. No service has yet been obtained on the , may } she left him, and taking her baby, returned | defendant.

BEARING ON THE WAR. +o oe -— Invading Boers Under Joubert and Graber Are Supposed to Have Effected a Junction of Their Large Forces. a 7 NO DEFINITE NEWS Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Oct. 27.—London breathes more freely to-day, drawing comfort from. the saying that ‘‘no news is good news.” The fact that no news has come of the expected battle at Ladysmith, leads to the conclusion that Joubert’s army of Trans- vaal Boers, advancing south from Dundee, has not formed a junction with Gen. Gra- ber’s Free State army, advancing from the west. Military men do not expect Gen. White, with his small force, to make an aggressive movement that will remove him far from his base at Ladysmith. Hence they are prepared to hear, when the next news of battle comes, that the Boey forces have formed a junction and that a decisive en- gagement at or near Ladysmith is on. It is a matter of surprise here that Gen. Joubert has not followed Gen. Yule and forced an action on the march, and the conclusion is reached that he is not only . r KIMBERLEY. Natal. dated Oct. 24, says: Nine hundred and eighty-eight Boer prisoners arrived here this morning. Thev include Capts. de Witt, Hammer, Forthus, Dorey, Van Legger and Dottner. It is believed that the Boers now have 500 British prisoners at Dundee and Pre- toria. A special dispatch from Cape Town says FROM yen. Joubert, ethe Boer commander, has sent a message of sympathy to Lady Sy- mons, widow of Gen. Symons. The story of Gen. Yule’s retreat from Glencoe and Dundee, which comes to-day from Cape Town, shows the British were forced to move their camp twice in order to get out of the range of the excellent handling of the Boer artillery. Just as they had decided to evacuate the second camp a shell killed two soldiers. When Gen. Yule heard of the battle of Elandslaagte he sent a squad of Hussars, under Col. Knox, and a battery of artillery -_—_— ~~ - - - —- Of North and South America, Who are they? (In half tone.) ie eel gad unday’s Post- Disp a ~ * & GEN.
