Love And High Life

■■ñsj edward ad1 I dicks, who has rejL I cently attraeted atm I tention all over the ( I country by his atR tempt to capture ? the United States senatorship írom ö Uelaware, s before Wl the public in an entirely new role, that of respondent in a suit for divorce, the libel bemg ] filed by his wife, Mrs. Rosalie Addicks, j in the courts at AVilmington. This move was not unexpected by Mr. Addieks, as it was threatened last June, but was postponed for some reason or other. Mr. Addicks is many times a millionaire. 11e is engaged in tlie gas business, and has made fortunes out of buying controlling interests in the established gas plants in Chicago, , Brooklyn, Boston and other large cities. He reorganized each corporation in sueh a way that the simple ! transaction brought him great riches. He is only nominally a resident of Deiaware, having leit that state some years ago, but claiming a residence there through a piece of property he j recently acquired by purehase after ! disposing of his original home. Demoj crats and a faction of republicans say that he retains a Deiaware residence merely to be available for the senatorship. It is asserted that he spent nearly 81,000,000 in the late campaign in that state, and the republicans carrying the legislature, he is in poöition to win the United States senatorship. It is asserted that the snit for divorce i is brought at this time by his wife for the purpose of revenge in the hope of defeating his ambition of wearing a senatorial toga. Mrs. Addicks separated from her husband two years ago, taking with her their only child, a daug-hter, and has since lived abroad. She alleges infldelity as the ground for divorce and the co-respondent is Mrs. Ida Carr Wilson, a charming widow, a decided favorite in the neighborhood, notvvithstanding the shadow of suspicion that was cast over her home after the departure of Mrs. Addicks and her daughter from the Addicks household. Mrs. Wilson resides in the fashionable quarter of Philadelphia, during, the winter months, j and the. rest of the year at Miraflores, her palatial summer home near 'W'ilmington, Del. The latter place is one of the most I We residences ia the state and lts floral productions are the pride of the neigrhborhood. She boasts of a j play of chrysanthemums which are pronounced by experts to be the finest ; in this country. Mrs. Wilson is the vvidow of a WeU-known civil en-ineer ívhodiedafewyears ago. He was á freat friend of Mr. Addicks, and it is said by those who know, that the husband confided his wife and two children to the care of Addicks at his death that their interest wonld bè areiully protected. Addicks has more -han once resented rumors affecting ïhe relations between himself and Mrs. Wilson. He declares thatthere is ao foundation for them, and that thev ' are the result of jealousy. The scandal in which politics ia so rtrongly mixed, and in which revenge seems to be the chief motive, has set ihe gossips agog in all the big social centers, and in the political field It fvill remain to be seen whether the Jharges will defeat the accused husband's ambition.
