Master Butchers Indorse Governor Hughes' Stand Object to Licensing of Butchers. At the meeting of the Master Butchers Association, held last evening at 401 Bridge street, the important question of meat inspection received considerable attention.

A resolution was passed indorsing Governor Hughes' stand on the question of a rigid state inspection of cattle. "The butchers of Brooklyn are the fathers of the measure advocating a rigid state inspection of all cattle," said J. AV. Smith, speaking for the Master Butchers. "We are, however, unalterably opposed to any scheme being included in the bill looking toward the licensing of tho butcher the same as a saloon or place of amusement.

This should never be. The butcher is a legitimate dealer In food products nnd he wanta no yoke about his nenk. Ciliea of the tbir.l i-iass. country villages and the farmers are not Inspected now and we favor a rigid Inspection of all these." A resoluiion was unanimously passed requesting all members of Congress from Brooklyn to vote for the admission, free of duly, of all live cattle, and it was stated that the removal of this tnriff on live cattlo would prove of benefit to the farmer and the country generally, especially the farmer, as It would create a greater market for his corn and oiher products. The butchers are satisfied to let the tariff of IVj cents per pound on frozen meat remain as it now stands In the statutes.

The question of restoring to the Borough of Brooklyn the office of deputy healtn commissioner was favored unanimously, the butchers claiming that great inconvenience Is caused the citizens, as well as the dealers, by the present methods of centralizing In Manhattan all the meat and food inspectors, as It takes entirely too long to have complaints examined into and remedied. State President P. C. Sluter was in at tendance at the meeting and announced that the next state convention would be tne rarK Hotel.

and There is no doubt that the annual concert by thn -pupils of Arthur Claassen, given last evening at the Hotel Aator, Manhattan, was tho moat artistic amateur musical event that has occurred for a long time.

Man Tells of Wife's Flirtation and Now Contemplates a Suit for Divorce. George E. Gibson, formerly In the dry goods business, now living at BdO Franklin avenue, won a verdict of $6,000 damages yesterday, before Justice Stapleton, against Richard Abernethy of 268 Marlon street, an ice dealer. Gibson accused Abernethy of having alienated the affections of his wife, Elma, and despite the latter's vigorous contention that she hadn't loved her husband In years, and that Abernethy, therefore, could not have "alienated'' her devotion, the jury decided to stand with the wronged husband. "She used to give him silk socks," Mr.

Gibson said this morning. "My feet were not too tender to wear the ordinary kind, though. 1 have spent all my savings, practically, fighting this case through the courts, but I do not regret it. I' every man would take legal action to punish those who wreck thel honiea there would be less of this sort of thing. The I trouble wilh most men is they are ashamed lo go into court, especially If they have children depending on them." Mr.

Gibson said his wife left htm in May, Some time prior to that date he had had a suspicion that something was wrong, but he declares he found no proof of it until after she left. "Once I saw him wave his hand at my wife wilh a sort of da-da effect, you know," the former dry goods merchant said with a rueful grin this morning, "and 1 said to her: 'Elma, you ought not to be so friendly with this but she explained it all away by saying he was a perfect gentleman and delivered a large piece of ice every morning." Mr. and Gibson were married fif teen years ago and have three children Estelle. Gertrude. 16.

and Elouise, 18. "I think in the fall 1 shall go ahead i and sue my wife for a divorce." Mr. Gib son concluded. Mrs. Gibson is now living at 201 Stuy-vesant avenue.

The drum, fife ami bugle corps played, tho court ot special sessions, the board of aldermen and the mayor and other officials of th" school city held sessions and transacted business in due form. The boys were highly praised lor the fine showing made. Former Controller Herman A. Metz, making an address to the boys at the ci0so of the exen'ises remarked that he had noted there was unusual unanimity in the board of aldermen, there being only one kicker. He had noticed, however, that there was only one Irishman in the hoard, which might explain matters.

Mr. Metz said he had also noticed that the various commissioners reported to the mayor. That was formerly the order of things, but now the mayor in reality reported to his commissioners. He a 1(4 said he believed the boys hod a better idea of city government than half the vot rrs. President Ajas rpported that more than $8fl0 had been raised for the Midgpwood Pay Nursery at the recent banquet of the board, and named a committee of ten members, bended by Richard Webber to solicit contributions for the building fund of the nursery.
