"m Jala ma. Wash., Feb. 1. The outcome
of :. the- sensational divorce trial ; here
.' Is that Mrs. Loverlng was' granted a
- divorce and the Custody of her children.
Dr. Loverlng Is to pay $10 per month for
-', the support of each of the three chll
... dren. The home Is given to Mrs. Lover-
' lng. ' , a
- , Owing to the social prominence of the
parties, both In Portland and Seattle, the
, i oCTtcome' of the divorce suit Instituted
. by Dr. Will Loverlng against his wife
v, at Kalama,, Wash., attracted widespread
attention. Tor two days- last week
. Judge Miller's court at Kalama was
'.crowded with townspeople and visitors
' from other points, i Mrs. Katherlne Lov
. ering, the defendant In the suit, filed an
annwer and cross complaint, and put up
.'a hard legal contest,' both sides, being
represented by , well known attorneys.
, The hearing, was' concluded lata Satur
day night. .--.,--.-i.rvv.:
The domestic Infelicity of the Lbver
; ingg date back, according to the evi
' . denee given, for a number of years. For
' the last six months Mrs. Loverlng has
' .occupied the family domicile with their
' three children at Castle Rock, while her
- husband has resided at Kalama.
pr. Loverlng Is local-- physician for
- the Northern Pacific at Kalama and
Castle Rock. - He is a prominent lodge
t man, a high .Mason, and Is well known
In this city; where he formerly spent a
- great deal of his time. He and his wtfe
lived fora year or two In Seattle,, the
' home of Mrs. Covering's parents.
In, the complaint filed by Dr. Lover
lng was a' number of Interesting charges.
He alleged that his wife had neglected
her three children on-account of the ln-l
terest she has taken in social affairs.
He further avers that she is unreason'
ably Jealous of his female patients and
has Injured his practice by making
(scenes subjecting a number of ladies to
annoyance - and ' humiliation, thereby
causing him "great mental agony."
On the other hand, Mrs. Loverlng as-,
servates that her lie go- lord Is entirely
too fond of the flowing bowl, and that
while under , the .subtle influence of the
Juice of the grape he has been more in
timate with other women than was .re
quired by him In his professional capa
city. She makes no speciflo charges of
unfaithfulness.
The plaintiff was represented In the suit
by E. M. Ross, assistant attorney-general
of Washington, while his wife's
legal battle was fought by Walter B.
Fulton, formerly prosecuting .attorney
for King county, in this state. Verbal
collisions between counsel have been
frequent. ' -.- ' ' . '
- Each side summoned about 20 wit
nesses' to corroborate ; the allegations
made In the complaints. The witnesses
are mostly residents of Castle Rock and
Kalama,; though a few hall from other
points. ; ' '
Tke principal point In controversy was
the .custody of the three children. Dr.
Loverlng owns valuable property at
Castle Rock, and his wife asks the court
in its decree to award, this property tq
her in trust for the children.
SPIRITS OF
ON AND OFF STAGE
. Ibsen has gone from us, but visions of
his "Ghosts": will lilt, before our
memories for a' long, long time. Those
w''.o witnessed that peculiar drama do
not entertain the slightest desire to see
it again. It may seem strange to state,
but nevertheless it is ' true,- that first
night spectators, although fully appre
ciating the play, would not think of
witnessing a second presentation, and in
their praiBe of the piece, unconsciously
frighten their friends from attending.
It Is that strange, yet 'fascinating welrd
ness, which pervades "Ghosts" that
compels the closest attention, and there
are many periods when the drop of a
pin woull resound, throughout the
house. ' "
, At the close of the final scene the
audience, sat: silent and still, transfixed
with the awfulness of the tragedy.
The cause of such suspense and sup
pressed emotion was furnished by
Oswald, He was the horrible cynosure
of every eye, a hopeless and helpless
spectacle. Oswald produced splendid
Impression among his critics. The char
acter is superb, and one cannot help
seeing" In Claus Roger a typical Oswald.
To play such - an important part the
natural Inference Is that the actor must
possess extraordinary talents. , But In
the case of Bogel the inference is not
correct He may properly be called.
employing common vernacular, a bright
fellow.
Oswald's work is of far greater' Im
portance than. Bogel s. . To chat with
Bogel a nilnuto after ' the last scene,
one's -impression of the grave part is
completely - changed... His personality
suffers off the stage like many others.
It is not the happy lot of all td impart
brilliant impressions , after stepping
from the stage. "I love the part," .sape
Bogel, ; "but do not - And it -difficult"
Another-member of , the company says
that the' part 1s comparatively easy. His
reasons-were that Oswald,-, on account
of receiving constant attention from
everybody, experiences no difficulty in
stepping about, aa his mother is always
there, to lead him.' It must be aald,
however, in Bogel's favor that he ia
wetl fitted for the part without any
special makeup. " .
The angel of "Ghosts" is Miss Galla
tin, and her lot Is most difficult. Her
speaking part is ', considerable and
throughout the entire ."battalions of sor
row" she carries herself with maternal
dignity and true parental affection. Out
side of the opera Miss Gallatin Is just
as charming- as - she is - capable, when
portraying the most difficult roles.
Portland theatre-goers enjoyed
"Ghosts" and will always welcome such
clever '"spirits" as those who gave us
Ibsen. v1

The members of the medical fraternity
through ' the entire country are keenly
interested in the claims of Dr. A. D.
Bevan,' formerly of Portland, who
stated at a meeting of the Chicago Med
ical society on Thursday : that drug
treatment is entirely useless In cases of
pneumonia. . '. j
The strangest part of the whole thing,
to the general public at least, Is the
acknowledgement that Dr. Bev.an.waa
not xtnly literally correct In his assump
tion, but that the same thing can be
said of almost any other disease, with
possibly-two or three exceptions.
' During a number of interviews with
several . of Portland's prominent phys
icians, yesterday, there was a unanimous
corroboration of Dr. Bevan's views. "It
has lofig been recognized by the medical
savants that there la no specific cure
- for pneumonia," ..eas the reply, almost
verbatim, of the doctors viltnd. And
there came the equally startling, or
rather unexpected, statement that there
were only two or three diseases for
"which a specific remedy was known to
-exist. j t ? ; ."
Additions to the Out.
"Take typhoid fever, lor Instance," ex
plained Dr. Woods Hutchinson, secretary
of the state board of health.' 'There is
no known specific' remedy to cure that
disease. A good doctor will take charge
of a patient and will apply, according t
theJcondttion of the disease and his
knowledge of Its progress on the patient,
such remedial measures as will assist
the local parts most likely to be ef
fected. : There are general conditions t

cleansed, compelling a good healthy res
piration, and the rest to a great extent,
depends upon the patient's physical con
dition. .VAs a matter of fact pneumonia has
been increasing at a remarkable rate
during the past few years, and tubercu
losis, or consumption has decreased ac
cordingly. . What causes this trans
formation we cannot tell. It Is a thing
that cannot be absolutely known. Out
here pneumonia is lesa severe than It Is
In the East or even the Middle West but
up in the high altitudes it is generally
pretty severe, especially In mining camps,
and where the disease becomes general
under such condittonshejaeath jrate ja
pretty high, ' ;"
: ''There is certainly no known specific
remedy" for pneumonia, but the science
6fmedlcine is to assist recovery indi
rect y. ' We know' the symptoms and
local parts affected. by such and such a
disease, and the physician's duty Is to
buoy up those parts to withstand the at
tacks of the disease germ. For the rest
of a cure, recovery depends largely upon
the condition of the patient's constitu
tion." s
Onardlan. Wot Healer.
Another leading physician, whOTlld
not desire his name used and who was
formerly well - acquainted with Dr.
Bevan, expressed the belief that the dis
patches had misinterpreted Dr. Bevan's
expressions. He, likewise, acknowledged
the correctness of the statement insofar
as It referred to there being no speciflo
remedy for penumonia, but he also
thought that the Interviewer had ex
pressed the remarks a little too broadly,
---"No one ever contended," , he explained,
"that there is a speciflo cure for pneu
monia, or many - other diseases, but
medical stimulants and other remedial
measures given under the direction of a
trained physician and followed up by the
assistance of an experienced and trained
nurse, will conduot many cases of the
disease to a condition of recovery."
Referring to another phase suggested
in the broad assertion that many other
diseases have no specific remedy, the
same authority agreed with Dr. Hutch
inson in the general, details of what
medicines were supposed to accomplish.
"By taking these assertions literally,
many people who do not understand the
conditions, might think that the doctors
are an unnecessary luxury, but any such
idea would be the greatest possible
crime to the conditions under which we
exist. , A good doctor knowa the human
frame to its minutest particles. There
may be disease germs which will lo
calise themselves and bring about that
condition known as a certain illness,
and the physician, while unable to intro
duce any certain remedy' which will im
mediately' disperse these germs, never
theless knows what action to take to
disintegrate the disease force to the
greatest extent. In such instances it
imust be done indirectly. A person has
typhoid lever, ana there Is no remedy
that wijl throw off the typhdid germs,
but the disease is actively at work on
certain portions of the human body and
the doctor invigorate and gives all pos
sible artificial sustenance to these par
ticular parts. This is what reduces the
danger of demise to a minimum. The
germs may not be killed off directly,
but they are weakened and any possible
ill effects are blunted. Then, the pa
tient's condition being sound and. nor
mally healthy, nature does the rest
Tha physletan acts in the nature of .the
keeper whot. holds the hound in leash.
The came force of danger to the fugi
tive Is ever present, but it does no harm:

germs which are slways present In the
human body from childhood. It enl

STREET COMMITTEE
D1SCUSSESPAVEMENTS
The " street committee discussed - the
question of asphalt pavement yester
day. Mr. Sharkey declared that the
style of paving-which the trust had
been putting down recently on Port
land's thoroughfares was very inferior.
"It has given leas satisfaction than
any other kind," he Insisted.
iSupt D. WV Taylor, who has charge
of the Alcatras Asphalt Paving com
pany's Interests here, declared that they
tried to do nothing but first-class work.
He explained that they had been both
ered some recently with f aling. but In
sisted that they would not ask for ac
ceptances upon such work until the evil
had been gotten rid of.
- Mr. Bentley Interjected the statement
that he "had a chemist analyse a piece
of the asphalt and would let the people
know what was the matter with It at
the proper time.". . v
Councilman Rumelin also had street
paving dreams. The question of mac
adamising Fifth street, north of Burn
side, came up, and he insisted that his
experience during the past IS months
demonstrated that macadam meant
mud. .. .. .:
The proposed franchise for the Port
land ft St. Johns street railway com
pany's new line was presented. Mr.
Bentley thought the far. ought to. be
fixed at 6 cents, but Mr. Sharkey said
that was unnecessary.
"Competition will regulate the fare,"
he - explained. , The whole proposition
will go up to the city council as a body.
