The Roscvelts, Three Weeks
Divorced, Will lie-marry.
:Decree Was Granted the Wife on the
Ground of Cruelty.
Three weeks ago to-morrow, Emma
L. Rosevelt of Stamford obtained a de-
cree of divorce from her husband,
Warren G. Rosevelt of the same town.
The divorce was asked for and granted
on the ground of intolerable cruelty.
The plaintiff was given alimony amo nt—
ing to $600 and the custody of the only
child of the union. The husband had
filed a cross complaint in which (1 ser-
tion was alleged. Liter this was with-
drawn and no opposition was made by
him.
Three weeks is not a very lengthy
space of time. Still it is long enough
to change the current of ordinary
events. At any rate it has proved to be
a period of regret to the Rosevelt’s.
’Connubial bliss had never been at; its
best in their family, but yet they had
'loved each other before marriage, after
marriage, before divorce, andas events
have proved afterrdivorce, for the an- .
nonncement is made that the couple
’ have patched up differences and will
again try their luck on the oft times
troubled sea of matrimony. The mar-
riage is set for an early date. .
Once before, in March, 1896, trouble
arose in the family, and the wife de-
serted the husband. After a few days
‘ the couple were reconciled and the wife
came back. Another quarrel occured,
which resulted in the divorce. Now
this is laid at'rest Stamford people
are awaiting results with interest.

John C. Byxbee, collect-or of Inter-
nal revenue for Connecticut and Rhode
Island, has completed a statement of
the number of factories and the quan-
tity of tobacco used in the district dur-
ing the year ended December .31, 1896,
and made a comparison with the prev-
ious year.

which consumed 889,659 pounds of to.
bacco in making 40,601,627 cigars. In
1896 the number of factories increased
to 490, 23 more than in 1895. The 490
factories consumed 908,111 pounds of
leaf tobacco to make 40,601,651 cigars,
23 more than were made in 1895, one
for each of the 23 additional factories.
In 1895 there were 65 tobacco factor-
ies in the district and the production
was 22,494 pounds. In 1896 the number
of factories remained the same. The
on at was 26,574'pounds, an increase
of ,080 pounds over 1895.
There were five cigarette factories in
the district in 1895. The factories con-
sumed 565% pounds of tobacco and man.
ufactured 176,400 cigarettes. In 1896
