A PRETTY HOW-D'YE-DO. Beer-Bottler Lang's Amended Com plaint Against His Wife. He Declare! That If He Is Not Granted •** Divorce Very Scoa He W:ll Ec Driven In3ane by His Wife* Conduct. Beer-bottler Adolpb Lang has now filed an amended com; l.iint for a divorce from Lena Lang. They married in Napa City in March, 1885. He charges her with ex- treme cruelty, and says that while living at ISIS Eliis street she. almost continually re- fused to spend any of her lime in his com- pany. Wn«n he asked her to do so, her inva- riable reply was cold, curtless and cm- temptuous wit. "I don't care to. You ktio.v I don't love you. Wliy do you want to force yourself oa me? You know lam miserable In your presence." Frequently to lacerate his feelings, she told Lira that almost any man was dearer to her than he, and she called him nasty names in tlie presence of his brother-* and of stranger?. The household duties wore al- iiiost con stnntly neglected by reason of her absences from lioinw. Tiie children were a!- lowed to go about dirty and slovenly dressed, and when at home she was con- tinually scolding and punishing them, not infrrqtiently ordering them out of her sight because, she said, they resets tiled apes and monkey *, aud their monkey faces humili- ated her. While, he snys, he wa< doing all to pro- mote domestic tranquillity aod lavishing every comfort and convenience on her she constantly qiurreli'd, found fault suid fought without <*ause given. T hen «he kept up a violent flirtation with one. of his employes named Adam Bach and visited him at the place of business of her husband while the latter was ..li-i'i;t. There she would laugh and flirt In a most shameful manner for hours at n time in the presence of the other employes. Uu one occasion she even sat on Bitch's lap. This created great scandal and her conduct became the talk of the neighbor- hood. People had come to him iind warned him to keep an eye on his wife. Lang does not jay that be suspects any unlawful re- lations between his wife and Bach, but he does say that she told her servant that she had bo love for her husband, but did jove a streetcar conductor named George Smith, and if her husband would only obtain a divorce she would speedily marry this Smith. When lie asked her about the truth of this reported conversation, Mrs. Lang*! reply was, "That is what I said and mean." Remonstrated with she said she would not give up this Smith, rind thereupon at- tempted to commit suicide by taking poison. It is charged that site often toil people she wished her husband would die, that lie was a fool, etc ; and when once he met with an accident she expressed sorrow that be had not been killed, because, being dead, she- could marry a man whom she loved. Efforts made in April at a reconciliation proved futile, and in consequence of all these thing*, Lang says he has become men- tally di-tracted md has become subject to melancholia. If he is compelled to continue to Jive with this woman he declares that he will be driven crazy. They have three chil- dren, aged G, 5 and 3, and he avers their mother is not a fit person to have charge of them because of her dislike and cruel treat- ment of them. Mrs. Lane is also charged with infidelity with Smith. Amtrl in* Batim Think*.

LA MARSEILLAISE bu KOUGET de LiSLE Pakts, April 25.—T sterday the French Senator?, Deputies and municipal councilors of Paris celebrated the centenary of the "Marseillaise" by imveiline, nt Ciioisy-le- Koi. a statue of its author. The town was brilliantly decorated and festivities began *t9 flock in the morning by a visit to the tomb of Rouget de I'lile. This tomb con- sists of a shaft, ornamented with a medal- iioß, on which is the following inscription: Claude Joseph Koaget <ls I'lMe, J«o a Lons-:e-^auu!er, en ITGO. Mor: a Chol.«y-le-Rol, ea 1836. Qnand la Revolution Fraucalse, en 1792, cut a coiuDattre Us r«>u. il lvi donna pour Tiincre le chant Ue la Marseillaise. JLfiec the visli 3 music and a lunrbeon. Everybody is familiar with the history of the dinner or April24, 1792. given by Baron Dietreicb, the Mayor of Strasbourg. En- gravings have made popular the scene, when, for the first time, the "Marseillaise" was heard. It was the day after war was declared by France against Austria, and the Mayor's guests spoke of the heroic songs which stimulated the ardor of war- riors. Captain Kouget de I'lsle was nsk»-U to write some verses, ana in a state of ex- citement he returned home, look his violin, played, sang and composed. Music and words \u25a0nine as by Inspitation, and before morning the six verses were complsted. He himself recited the starz«s to his friend*, aud the was sent toLuckner, who commanded the Rhine division of the army, was distributed in Alsace, sung in the public square of Strasbourg and learned by everybody. Indeed the "Marseillaise" was sung when the Tuileriea were taken, and no one was more surprised than Kouget de l'lsle to know that his composition had caused the fall of the monarchy. The first time that the "3larseillaist»" excited Ihe courage of the people was August 10. 1702. a day that marked tiie last hour of royalty. Rouget was indespair because the "Marseil- laise" hr.d proved tr> be a republican song. Ho the "Marseillaise." called by some a sub- lime civ, was really tlie work of chance. The generals said that the '.'Marseillaise" was worth 10,000 men. and they asked for copies at the same time that they re- quested arm«. Rouget de I'lsle was fright- ened—so frightened that he would have sacrificed all his fame to recall the hymn. But Rouget de Title's lire was in danger, spite of the fact that he had written the great war cry. Imprisoned, he owed bis safety to the ninth Tlieroiidcr. In 17i>5 he wrote t> order a hymn to lib- erty, ar.d in this hymn there was n couplet too advanced for insertion in the editii n of lis "Fifty National Hymns." For a long time it was supposed that Charles X granted a pension to Rouget, because of this emission, but in reality he received a pen- iion from no one but Louis Philippe. After the eighteenth Brumaire, Napoleon asked from llouget a chant de combat; It was writ- ten. As Louis XVIII made no req'iest, Kouget de ,'Me offered to write something;: then his verses were: Diet! conserve le rof, 1' :>poli de !a rattle, Qu'il ias«e ie bonbeai de la France aiieudi to. Inbis chant Leroique '"Henri IV."he con- fesses that he suffers because of the eclipse ft the name of Bourbon. When Louis XVIII returned, Tiouget de l'l-le signed this chant with his own name and title. Because R'ui/et de l'lsle could not pay his printer he was imprisoned, ft nd Beranger was obliged to take him out. With the aid of Beranger, Roazet trie Ito organize a subscription, but without success. David d Augers then sold, at 20 francs a ticket, the marble medallion of Rouge i de l'lsle. Beranger's letter to the despairing Rougct is worthy of translation : "If we sell these tickets quickly you will have money to renew your unfortunate- wardrobe. We, poor devil.-, find that clothes will wear out. 1 remember when I had but one pair f.f trousers, that I watched with paternal care, and even then they played me perfidious tricks. True, I had a talent, lacking in you. I knew how to mend, how to saw on buttons. That is the advantage of belonging to a family of tailors. You have not received so good an education, and you must have new. 1 hope you will see the new oefore long**" One month later Louis Philippe gave a pension of 1200 francs to the fain Rouget, Six years later we hear of Rougei'd dying without causing the least emotion in the world. Choisy-le-Rqi. so festive yesterday, was not then mourning for the old man, in blue coat and brass buttons, who always walked about with his friends, General Blein and Captain Voiard, fur these friends offered Rouget a home during the last days of his life. Engcne Ballet writes of R >uget: "His costume was that of another age; a long redingote hung about his heels, a long old-fashioned perruque and a low- crowned, broad-brimmed hat completed this Btrnni;e ensemble." Had Rouget de l'lsle leturncd to earth during the festivities attending his anni- versary, ho might have said to the republi- cans who talked of his part in giving liberty toFrance: \u0084 "Hut I did not do It purposely. In188(J, Baron de la Marinerie published a document, stating that Marie Antoinette, When in t.'ie Tempi**, wished to have a copy of the "Marseillaise." Th« concierge of the 'leniple, llalbey, procured it for her, and this fact is mentioned in an account of ex- penses. Here, beside lie works of Abbe IJelille, is written: "One bottle of orange flower water and, beside copies of the con- stitution, one cake of snap." After these comes "L'll untie dcs Marseifloit, 10 sou*." This same bIU mentions 25 livres paid for tuning the. instrument on which the unfortu- nate Queeu played the "Maiselllaise." The convention presented Rouget de Plsle with two violin*, or rather allowed bin to choose among the violins in the pub- lic warehouses two that pleased him most. Itis said that the seventh couplet of the "Marseillaise" was written, not by Rouge t de l'lslr, but by the Abb« Pessoneau. It U certain that at one time the able was con- demned to death as a suspect, but his life was saved became the revolutionary tribu- nal at Lyons discovered that he had added & couplet to the "Marseillaise." BaBON'ESS Al.Tll! A SAI-VAD In the fcrego'ng sketch of Ronzet de l'lsle, the writer of the "Marseillaise" i* outlined with sundry versatilities of nature which show him to have been a literary Opportun- ist who rendered various services for var- ious Governments, and who was quite upset because his republican-adopted son;z became the voice of the republican trumpet. His feelings as actor in the scenes that moved him to become a versifier were only moder- ately robus?, but like b \u25a0'Us struck idly the sounds he give forth set up sympathies of vibration which were unsuspected in his comprehension of the situation, lie found himself famous almost against his will, at;d would have recalled what he had written if recall could have stilled the movement to which his flaming lines contributed. But it is assuming too much to assert that Ronget de I'lsle's verse caused the full of the mon- archy in France. Strictly Judged it was only an incident of a revolution precipitated by many errors of abuse and hollow falseness of principle. The revolution came from an awakening to the frightful abuses and chaotic collapse of monarchical government, under which the masses were drained of their life to feed a vicious aristocracy who had long ceased to render any adequate service for their privileges, which were absurd and monstrous far beyond the tale of history in any country. The charlatanism of brain- less government never had profounier ex- emplification of its error, and its strange capacities of imposition on a people tutored to servile obedience and submission, than in France. L':it the awakening wns not by any m 'ans made by the "Marseillaise," any more than was the English Reformation en- gendered and rooted by the vagaries of Henry the Eighth's marriage tantrums. France was hi desperate straits from blun- ders of administration and fiscal miseries carried beyond the p.int of human endur- nr.co compatible with human happiness. The ear of the nation in paroxysms of groan - attuned to any song of deliv- erance, any speech of wisdom or boor. Rousseau had recited to willing listener?, to greedy absorbers of fresh UioHght on problems never solved, his Contrat Social and his Emil, the pioneer contribution on many phases of educational evolution. France was agape with the novelty of his theories and philosophy was shaken into unwonted combinations of activity. But besides Rousseau, who, like Rflueet de l'lsle, did not perceive how far his ideas would excite to new reactions in the rhera- istry of human organization, and may be considered a dramatist unconscious of his effects, there were, others who, had been throwing up lurid fireballs into the murky air of government l>v monarchy and oli- garchical pretension. Voltaire had liarrasscd the despots as it they were so many bulls in the ring by his sharp thrusts an i prods of raillery, Bcorn, parcasm, rvnicism and ridicule. Montesquieu and Mirabeaa had \u25a0 alribnttd th^ir share of eritieisni and analysis toward setting on (ire the f.icuts of abuse out It up for useful conflagration. IlouKet d(- i'l-!e's inspiration came as a son« that took up the agitation of public .• aKainst i>.i-t injuttfee within France, and lodie nation agaiust threatened ii^- from wilbout The monarchy and tiio nobles had behaved aceuisedly within France, and here was a conspiracy of tho same stih-e of oppressors concentrating u;on the French frontier* to Impose Diana* cl<\s and fetters afresh and h ; v rf> t\ r.tnnoua despots another lease of ftrindiac power. I)e I'lsla'a song steeied the public hrart with resolution and warnx.-d it with hope. With a soni likn that in tlieir ea:s, men who were smarting under the remembrance nf wrooc, and wi;o luted tiie oppressor and fondly h.acced ideals of a Messed political staia in which ail would be fraternity, with a common Justice of relationship hoi unknown, Gould march t<> death or conlli t with a courage akin to tnat of Cromwei.'s Ironsides. The cause Enve theiu stretigth. They were h»roes fighting f r country and family. The words of tho "Marseillaise" were singularly sailed to the crisis of the moment. They wero noble and maj-stie, and as a popular composition cannot be sur- passed, fur once beard every phra-e stamps i'seif Into the meoiTy, an'!. )>v sheer energy of ex: reasion, convinces. There is a fierce- Ups? in the phraseology appropriate to the time, and no other national sons; rises to it* level of force and characteristic felicity. The man who can listen to the lines without bping stirred is deficient in nerve-. But still more emotional is the music. It is doubtful whether R»ugotde t'lsle composed the music. It seems too much for one man on one night to write a'mosi Immortal verse and wed it to immortal music. The words had their effect upon tile French of that day, but their meaning has bee me feebler by the removal of the causes. France, is not oppressed to-day. The pain sng. ge«ted by the words of the "Mar- seillaise" can therefore only be historic, and those who are not oppressed may- shrug their shoulders at those who were and now repose in the common tenement of clay. The extravagance of much of Shakespeare's language now causes us to smite because the tunes arc changed, and we with them. but the music of tuts "Marseillaise" lives and is the inspiring property of all coun- tries. Be it a German hymn or a musical in- spiration Sashing up In the brain of Konget d'lsle, the effect is the same. It is the grandest national air in existence— far abnve I lay da' a gracious "Hymn to the Emperor, "or "Scut's Whii' Hap," "God S;ivo the Queen," "Yankee Doodle," and half a dozen other patriotic airs rolled into one. The air baa given courage to the oppressed of all conn- tries. 1; is impossible to listen to it with- out being; stirred and exalted. When Napo- leon the Third went to war with Germany under the advice (f Marshal I. fin I, hf gave the word to; have the "Marseillaise" played by the band while entertaining Ilia quests it the 1 nlieries, If anything Id music could hare saved misgoverned France at Hi nt moment it was the "Marseillaise." It nod übt gave Gambetta courage to make the republic victorious over the grave of the empire. What baa Fran \u2666• not passed through during the century that this Bong has been sung? And France does well to give the author commemoration. ROUGET de L'/SLE SINGING LA MARSEILLAISE AT STRASBOURG. THE GREAT MOROSE FIERCE. An Artist in Literature Right in Our Vulgar Midst. Why His Books Will Be Published and B-ad in Future Yean, Though Nobody Prints Them Now. Written for The Morning Call "lie saw an enormous panther dragging the dead woman toward the window, its teeth fixed in her throat. * * The clothing was deranged, the lonz hair in dts- Older, the limbs lay anyhow. From the throat, dreadfully lacerated, had issued a pool of blood, not yet entirely coagulated The ribbon with which he had bound the wrists was broken, the hands wero tightly clenched. Between the teeth was a frag- ment of the animal's ear." This is not a quotation from a ten-cent ter- rible or a nickel nerve-knocker. It was written by a great man, Mr. Morose Fierce. Yes, .Mr. Fierce wrote that. Therefore it is art. You don't see the art. but Mr. Fierce' s admirers will tell you that that is because you are too nice. "It is the literature of the future," they declare. - %r..- , And the general reader says, "lhauk God." "Oh, you read the maz;izine«, say Fiercu's friends. "You can't appreciate Fierce. Why, the name of Morose Fierce will live after nil the Ilo.wellsc, the Jameses and the Killings shall have sunk Into the nothingness of the goody-goody. You know all the goody-goodies are going to sink into nothingness, don't you ? But Morose Fierce, sir, I will bave you to understand, is net a goody-gnody? Have you noticed the neat wav he has of paralyzing the La- dies' Hume Journal and all the magazines and the publishers generally? Haven t noticed that, eh? You've missed a good thing. Why, Fierce says all publishers are fools, and all fools aie publishers. Rich, isn't It? No. Pierre can't get his books published unless lie puts up the money or cets somebody to it for him. He's got a whole trunkful of manuscripts that no publisher would touch with a 10-font pole. Ah, Pierce is a great writer." That shows it, you know. If publishers will not publish your books that is a sure sign of genius. Have you read his latest, The Blood on the Carpet'? It tells about a man with no toes on his lett f"<>\ trying to cut the head off a woman and cutting on* his own by accident. 1 tell you there is ait in that story, true ait. lou can tell that by the feeling in your stomach after you have finished reading. Fierce' is a ' great man." Proof is not wanting of the fact that Mr. Fierce has nt least two dozen admirer*. They constitute the Morose Fierce Admira- tion Bureau. They cut out all that Mr. Fieice writ for the newspapers and paste itin sctapbookf, one of which you could not buy for fluOO, and which you would not lake If a man followed you ten bl< c*s with It. "Did you read that particularly fine thing of Fierce:--, published last Suudaj?'' asks a member of the bureau. "I mean that about the young schoolgirl's poetry. The school- girl is about 14 years old, yi'U know. She had an idea shh could write, but Fierce ground that girl into smithereens, lie showed that she was simply not iii it. That wns a bright expression of his, 'The Pegas- sified fructifyer of such puerile rot it were blasphemy to call it muck— ought to be spanked.' Then you ought to see the way lie went for Sunday-school superintendents, and how he showed up the supreme kiliter- eracv of persons v. bo do not s iv 'the Now Vorkan lake ,' instead of 'the New Yolk lakes.' (_))<, it was superb Fierce prides himself on the fact that no magazine ever publishes his stories. "Those childish magazines"— he wouldn't take a thousand dollars a line and write for them; They are altogether to nice. They are too modern. Blast them all, they are right up to date! Why, they are full of sunshine and reflect actual life, photograph if, in fact. Their illustrations are chiefly based ou phntOiirnplH. They show lucid, coni- iiioniNßCo pictures of things— ac'inl scenes and actual persons. Not a single distorted, ugly, hideous sketch can you find. They are natural, realistic a plague on 'em all. They givo you glimpses Into the real live* of people. As if "anybody cared for that sort of ro\ or ought lv care for it. Why, it i-, the. hideous tl at people ought to be looking for— the gtiastily un- natural, the ereepily, crawlily, horribly, disgustingly delightful. What is the good of sunlight? What is the good of seeing decent things— of looking upon anything but the harrowing? A plague on the child- ish, commonplace sun. Give us a good, fcteady-iroiiur, trustworthy eclipse. That is what we want. That is what people will appreciate when the time for reading the litfiature of the future comes around. The literature of the future— that's what it is. Don't call Itthe resurrection of the litera- ture of Edgar Allan Poe. People never ap- preciated Pee. lie was too delightfully horrible. But they will appreciate Fierce - in time. This natural literature will bfgln to take a back seat just as soon as people begin to appreciate tiio unnatural school, of which Mr. Morose Fierce is an exponent. Just you watt until people begin to grow plants down in their cellars. Titan you'll see something. You'll see beautiful, lon*, white stalk*, with the most perfect leaves on delicate leave*, white-green— what people who don't know any better call "sickly vegetation." Why there are people who would actually take those plants cat into the sunlight and let them grow in that beastly natural way. Faugh! As if we wanted anything natural. Just wait until the unnatural methods come into vogue, and then you'll see plants and literature. that will be worth seeing. Then too tlie.-e childish, natural writers let blood stay in the veins of the people they write about. Isn't that just too ridic- ulous for anything? What you want to do with your blood is to scatter it about— let people see It. It's a nice thing to look at, blood is. Give us plenty of gore. Now here is a passage with the true art feeling in it. It is from "The Affair at Coulter's Notch": "When the gun was sponged it was loaded; when loaded, aimed and tired. The colonel observed something new to his mili- tary experience— something horrible nnd unnatural: the gun was bleeding at the mouth. In temporary default of water the man sponging had dipped his SDonge in a pool if bis eomrad«>' blood." Isn't it great! What other man besides Fierce could write like that? Other people might try, of course, but then they could not get in blood enouch and horror enough. The publishers will not have it, of course, which is proof posi- tive of Fierce* greatness. The publisher of the future willsay to his manuscript reader: "Bead that stuff of Mr. Redblood Hor- rors?" '"Yes," will come the reply. •Think it willdo?" "Ah, it is great. I tell you Horrors is an artist. Why, I haven't been able to eat anything since I began reading it. I tell you, sir. there's a man who can reach people's stomachs. That book will be tho success of the year." UoWlru <iut«" Turk Concort. This aftprnoon tho Golden Gate Tnrk band of 40 pieces will tender the following selections of music: J.

He is convinced the human family is divided Into innumerable group*, and ho has known at home a type of every group, and now him* almost a counterpart of every typo he has known. 1thought 1 was viewing "a type" the other day that bad a striking em- blance to tnat sweetest of women, Mrs. Sallie Clarke, sister of that bonny, winsome belie. Miss Susie Ku«ss)l. Much to my de- light it was not a tantalizing resemblance that challenged my attention, but a charm-' ing reality. Mrs. Clarke had come over with Mr. Clarke from Pittsburg wbi<-h is now their home- She expected meet Miss Minnie Clarke of Sacramento, who com- ing on to New York to visit Miss Fannie TyrreH. Miss Clarke was detained In Washington, but before returning to Cali- fornia she expects to make a long vis at Pittsburg. Mr. and Mrs. Will Clarke are enjoying the East and are in excellent health. The little daughters are In a;i ideal boarding-school. Although Mr. Clarke is doing so finely in business, and is lit good health, and every thing bids fair for what is bright and successful, both Mr. and Mrs. Clarke miss their host of frior.dsall through California and are yet loyal in their appre- ciation of the Golden State.

(tower Robinson's Slayer Arrives on the .Oceanic. He Refutes to Be Interviewed and Acts Like a Boer- His Wife Snubbed on Board the Steamer. "J. 11. Hctherington, wife and child, lowa," was the legend written in a nervous, irritable hand across the page of the Occi- dental Hotel register jestrrday. Little at- tention v.'as paid to it at first, but when it became known that it was none other than the notorious lieutenant of the United States navy who shut and killed Gower Robinson In the streets of Yokohama there was an immediate desire to oaten a glimpse of him. The fact that ho was the central figure in one of the greatest scandals of the age made him an object of lie keenest curiosity, but to this the fiery lieutenant most strenuously objected, and in refusing to bo interviewed he acted like a man with a wheel in his head. He turned very red in the face and cursed very loudly, and even went so far as to make violent and threatening gestures. He probably thought that his reputation as a killer would have the effect of frightening all interviewers. The lieutenant and his wife arrived by the Oriental and Occidental Company's steamer Oceanic, which steamed into the harbor yesterday morning, and after lan ing were driven at once- to the Occidental Hotel, where they were assigned to room 214 and proceeded at once to deny them- selves to all callers, REFUSED TO BE BEES. To all cards sent up the invariable reply was returned that the lieutenant could not be seen, and the hotel employes reported that be was not in a most amiable mood. In fact he acted like a man who was mad all over, and who had soured on the world. His* fellow-passengers, as a rule, pro- nflunecd him a decent feliow, but declared that his trip across was anything but a pleasant one, owinc to the fact that Mrs. Heiberington was ostracized by the ladies aboard ship. This made the husband angry, and ho took no pains to conceal his wrath. He swore at everybody and every- thing, and conducted himself in such a way generally as to leave the impression that he was something of a boor by nature. As to the wife, however, she saw how things wero drilling and in a few days after sail- ing she retired to her 'cabiu and but little was seen of her from that time until the vessel was docked at this city. Occasion- ally she appeared at t ho concerts and lectures which were given aboard ship, but always in the most unobtrusive manner and with Hie air of ono who realized that she was being shunned. She was most devoted to her infant, and seemed to find In it a source of comfort. Her toilet was of the most simple nature, and during the entire voyage she dressed in dark, sober-colored clothing. When the steamer was docke 1 th« news that Uetherington and his wife were en board spread like * prairie tire, and in a few minutes the dock whs lined with an anxious crowd to catch a glimpse of the notorious couple. This seemed to enrage the lieu- tenant, whose, fierce red whiskers fairly curled with indignation, and as he walked down the plank, leading his wife to a car- riage which stood in waiting, the curses which ho uttered could bo distinctly heard by the bystanders. To a reporter who asked him for an interview he sail: "Get out of my way, and attend to your own lusiness. - I don't.want to talk to you or any of your kind." HOW THEY LOOKED. They will remain here for a few days and then proceed East. The lieutenant willgo to Washington and his wile to her old home to visit her mother. In appearance Hetherington is not at all prepossessing. lie is tall and squarely built, and resembles more a prosperous farmer than a naval officer. His hair and beard are of a bright red hue, and his face is florid in complexion. His wife is certainly a pretty woman, with a tall and stylish figure. Her most handsome features are her eyes, which are large ana lustrous and of a deep-blue color. Woutk-rlug eyes they are, with something in them, strange to say, of the innocence til a baby, and set remarkably far apart, tier face, is small and oval in shape, and re- minds one of the faces in a painting of the. old, musters. Crowning the face is a mass of fluffy golden hair. COAST KOTES. Bumboldt has lixed her city tax at Si on the ftlOO. The b ys of Willows aro to form an ath- letic club.

A PRETTY HOW-D'YE-DO.Beer-Bottler Lang's Amended

Complaint Against His Wife.

He Declare! That IfHe Is Not Granted•**Divorce Very Scoa He W:ll Ec Driven

In3ane by His Wife* Conduct.

Beer-bottler Adolpb Lang has now filedan amended com; l.iint for a divorce fromLena Lang. They married in Napa Cityin March, 1885. He charges her with ex-treme cruelty, and says that while livingatISIS Eliis street she. almost continually re-fused to spend any of her lime in his com-pany. Wn«n he asked her to do so, her inva-riable reply was cold, curtless and cm-temptuous wit. "Idon't care to. Youktio.vIdon't love you. Wliy do you wantto force yourself oa me? You know lammiserable In your presence."

Frequently to lacerate his feelings, shetold Lira that almost any man was dearerto her than he, and she called him nastynames in tlie presence of his brother-* and ofstranger?. The household duties wore al-iiiost con stnntly neglected by reason of herabsences from lioinw. Tiie children were a!-lowed to go about dirty and slovenlydressed, and when at home she was con-tinually scolding and punishing them, notinfrrqtiently ordering them out of her sightbecause, she said, they resets tiled apes andmonkey *, aud their monkey faces humili-ated her.

While, he snys, he wa< doing all to pro-mote domestic tranquillity aod lavishingevery comfort and convenience on her sheconstantly qiurreli'd, found fault suid foughtwithout <*ause given. Then «he kept up aviolent flirtation with one. of his employesnamed Adam Bach and visited him at theplace of business of her husband while thelatter was ..li-i'i;t. There she would laughand flirt In a most shameful manner forhours at n time in the presence of the otheremployes.

Uu one occasion she even sat on Bitch's

lap. This created great scandal and herconduct became the talk of the neighbor-hood. People had come to him iind warnedhim to keep an eye on his wife. Lang doesnot jay that be suspects any unlawful re-lations between his wife and Bach, but hedoes say that she told her servant that shehad bo love for her husband, but did jove astreetcar conductor named George Smith,and if her husband would only obtain adivorce she would speedily marry thisSmith.

When lie asked her about the truth of thisreported conversation, Mrs. Lang*! replywas, "That is what I said and mean."Remonstrated with she said she wouldnot give up this Smith, rind thereupon at-tempted to commit suicide by taking poison.It is charged that site often toil people shewished her husband would die, that lie wasa fool, etc ;and when once he met with anaccident she expressed sorrow that be hadnot been killed, because, being dead, she-could marry a man whom she loved.

Efforts made in April at a reconciliationproved futile, and in consequence of allthese thing*, Lang says he has become men-tally di-tracted md has become subject tomelancholia. Ifhe is compelled to continueto Jive with this woman he declares that hewill be driven crazy. They have three chil-dren, aged G, 5 and 3, and he avers theirmother is not a fit person to have charge ofthem because of her dislike and cruel treat-ment of them. Mrs. Lane is also chargedwith infidelity withSmith.

LA MARSEILLAISEbu KOUGET de LiSLE

Pakts, April25.—T sterday the FrenchSenator?, Deputies and municipalcouncilorsof Paris celebrated the centenary of the"Marseillaise" by imveiline, nt Ciioisy-le-

Koi. a statue of its author. The town wasbrilliantlydecorated and festivities began

*t9 flock in the morning by a visit to thetomb of Rouget de I'lile. This tomb con-sists of a shaft, ornamented with a medal-iioß, on which is the following inscription:

Claude Joseph Koaget <ls I'lMe,J«o a Lons-:e-^auu!er, en ITGO.Mor:a Chol.«y-le-Rol, ea 1836.

Qnand la Revolution Fraucalse, en 1792, cut acoiuDattre Us r«>u. illvidonna pour Tiincre

le chant Uela Marseillaise.

JLfiec the visli3 music and a

lunrbeon.Everybody is familiar with the history of

the dinner or April24, 1792. given by BaronDietreicb, the Mayor of Strasbourg. En-gravings have made popular the scene,when, for the first time, the "Marseillaise"was heard. Itwas the day after war wasdeclared by France against Austria, andthe Mayor's guests spoke of the heroicsongs which stimulated the ardor of war-riors. Captain Kouget de I'lsle was nsk»-Uto write some verses, ana in a state of ex-citement he returned home, look his violin,played, sang and composed. Music andwords • \u25a0nine as by Inspitation, and beforemorning the six verses were complsted. Hehimself recited the starz«s to his friend*,aud the was sent toLuckner,who commanded the Rhine division of thearmy, was distributed in Alsace, sung inthe public square of Strasbourg and learnedby everybody. Indeed the "Marseillaise" wassung when the Tuileriea were taken, andno one was more surprised than Kouget del'lsle to know that his composition hadcaused the fallof the monarchy. The firsttime that the "3larseillaist»" excited Ihecourage of the people was August 10. 1702. aday that marked tiie last hour of royalty.Rouget was indespair because the "Marseil-laise" hr.d proved tr> be a republican song.Ho the "Marseillaise." called by some a sub-lime civ, was really tlie work of chance.The generals said that the '.'Marseillaise"was worth 10,000 men. and they askedfor copies at the same time that they re-quested arm«. Rouget de I'lsle was fright-ened—so frightened that he would havesacrificed all his fame to recall the hymn.But Rouget de Title's lire was in danger,spite of the fact that he had written thegreat war cry. Imprisoned, he owed bissafety to the ninth Tlieroiidcr.

In17i>5 he wrote t> order a hymn to lib-erty, ar.d in this hymn there was n couplettoo advanced for insertion in the editii n oflis "Fifty National Hymns." For a longtime it was supposed that Charles Xgranted a pension to Rouget, because of thisemission, but in reality he received a pen-iion from no one but Louis Philippe. Afterthe eighteenth Brumaire, Napoleon askedfrom llouget a chant de combat; Itwas writ-ten. As Louis XVIIImade no req'iest,Kouget de ,'Me offered to write something;:then his verses were:

Diet! conserve le rof, 1':>poli de !a rattle,Qu'il ias«e ie bonbeai de la France aiieudi to.Inbis chant Leroique '"Henri IV."he con-

fesses that he suffers because of the eclipseft the name of Bourbon.

When Louis XVIIIreturned, Tiouget de

l'l-le signed this chant with his own nameand title.

Because R'ui/et de l'lsle could not payhis printer he was imprisoned, ftnd Berangerwas obliged to take him out. With the aidof Beranger, Roazet trie Ito organize asubscription, but without success. Davidd Augers then sold, at 20 francs a ticket,the marble medallion of Rougeide l'lsle.Beranger's letter to the despairing Rougct isworthy of translation :"Ifwe sell these tickets quickly you will

have money to renew your unfortunate-wardrobe. We, poor devil.-, find that clotheswill wear out. 1remember when Ihad butone pair f.f trousers, that I watched withpaternal care, and even then they played meperfidious tricks. True, Ihad a talent,lacking in you. Iknew how to mend, howto saw on buttons. That is the advantageof belonging to a family of tailors. Youhave not received so good an education, andyou must have new. 1 hope you willseethe new oefore long**"

One month later Louis Philippe gave apension of 1200 francs to the fain Rouget,Six years later we hear of Rougei'd dyingwithout causing the least emotion in theworld. Choisy-le-Rqi. so festive yesterday,was not then mourning for the old man, inblue coat and brass buttons, who alwayswalked about with his friends, GeneralBlein and Captain Voiard, fur these friendsoffered Rouget a home during the last daysof his life.

Engcne Ballet writes of R >uget:"His costume was that of another age;

a long redingote hung about his heels, along old-fashioned perruque and a low-crowned, broad-brimmed hat completed thisBtrnni;e ensemble."

Had Rouget de l'lsle leturncd to earthduring the festivities attending his anni-versary, ho might have said to the republi-cans who talked ofhis part in giving libertytoFrance: \u0084

"Hut Idid not do Itpurposely.In188(J, Baron de la Marinerie published a

document, stating that Marie Antoinette,

When in t.'ie Tempi**, wished to have a copy

of the "Marseillaise." Th« concierge of the'leniple, llalbey, procured it for her, andthis fact is mentioned inan account of ex-penses. Here, beside lie works of AbbeIJelille, is written: "One bottle of orangeflower water and, beside copies of the con-stitution, one cake of snap." After thesecomes "L'lluntie dcs Marseifloit, 10 sou*."

This same bIU mentions 25 livres paid for

tuning the. instrument on which the unfortu-nate Queeu played the "Maiselllaise."

The convention presented Rouget dePlsle with two violin*,or rather allowedbin to choose among the violins in the pub-lic warehouses two that pleased him most.Itis said that the seventh couplet of the

"Marseillaise" was written, not by Rouge tde l'lslr, but by the Abb« Pessoneau. ItUcertain that at one time the able was con-demned to death as a suspect, but his lifewas saved became the revolutionary tribu-nal at Lyons discovered that he had added& couplet to the "Marseillaise."

BaBON'ESS Al.Tll!A SAI-VAD

In the fcrego'ng sketch of Ronzet de l'lsle,the writer of the "Marseillaise" i* outlinedwith sundry versatilities of nature whichshow him to have been a literary Opportun-ist who rendered various services for var-ious Governments, and who was quite upsetbecause his republican-adopted son;z becamethe voice of the republican trumpet. Hisfeelings as actor in the scenes that movedhim to become a versifier were only moder-ately robus?, but like b \u25a0'Us struck idly thesounds he give forth set up sympathies ofvibration which were unsuspected in hiscomprehension of the situation, lie foundhimself famous almost against his will,at;d

would have recalled what he had written ifrecall could have stilled the movement towhich his flaming lines contributed. But itis assuming too much to assert that Rongetde I'lsle's verse caused the full of the mon-archy in France. Strictly Judged it was onlyan incident of a revolution precipitated bymany errors of abuse and hollow falseness ofprinciple. The revolution came from anawakening to the frightful abuses andchaotic collapse of monarchical government,under which the masses were drained of theirlife to feed a vicious aristocracy who hadlong ceased to render any adequate servicefor their privileges, which were absurd andmonstrous far beyond the tale of history inany country. The charlatanism of brain-less government never had profounier ex-emplification of its error, and its strangecapacities of imposition on a people tutoredtoservile obedience and submission, than inFrance. L':it the awakening wns not byany m 'ans made by the "Marseillaise," anymore than was the English Reformation en-gendered and rooted by the vagaries ofHenry the Eighth's marriage tantrums.France was hi desperate straits from blun-ders of administration and fiscal miseriescarried beyond the p.int of human endur-nr.co compatible with human happiness.The ear of the nation in paroxysms ofgroan - attuned to any song of deliv-erance, any speech of wisdom or boor.Rousseau had recited to willing listener?,to greedy absorbers of fresh UioHght onproblems never solved, his Contrat Socialand his Emil, the pioneer contribution onmany phases of educational evolution.France was agape with the novelty of histheories and philosophy was shakeninto unwonted combinations of activity.But besides Rousseau, who, like Rflueet del'lsle, did not perceive how far his ideaswould excite to new reactions in the rhera-istry of human organization, and may beconsidered a dramatist unconscious of hiseffects, there were, others who, had beenthrowingup lurid fireballs into the murkyair of government l>v monarchy and oli-garchical pretension. Voltaire had liarrasscdthe despots as it they were so many bulls

in the ring by his sharp thrusts an i prodsof raillery, Bcorn, parcasm, rvnicism andridicule. Montesquieu and Mirabeaa had

\u25a0 alribnttd th^ir share of eritieisni andanalysis toward setting on (ire the f.icutsof abuse outIt up for useful conflagration.

IlouKet d(- i'l-!e's inspiration came as ason« that took up the agitation of public

.• aKainst i>.i-t injuttfee within France,and lodienation agaiust threatened ii^-from wilbout The monarchy and tiionobles had behaved aceuisedly withinFrance, and here was a conspiracy of thosame stih-e of oppressors concentratingu;on the French frontier* to Impose Diana*cl<\s and fetters afresh and h

;vrf> t\ r.tnnouadespots another lease of ftrindiac power.I)e I'lsla'a song steeied the public hrartwith resolution and warnx.-d it with hope.With a soni likn that in tlieir ea:s, menwho were smarting under the remembrancenf wrooc, and wi;o luted tiie oppressor andfondly h.acced ideals of a Messed politicalstaia in which ail would be fraternity, witha common Justice of relationship hoiunknown, Gould march t<> death or conlli twith a courage akin to tnat of Cromwei.'sIronsides. The cause Enve theiu stretigth.They were h»roes fighting f r country andfamily. The words of tho "Marseillaise"were singularly sailed to the crisis of themoment. They wero noble and maj-stie,and as a popular composition cannot be sur-passed, fur once beard every phra-e stampsi'seif Into the meoiTy, an'!. )>v sheer energyof ex: reasion, convinces. There is a fierce-Ups? in the phraseology appropriate to thetime, and no other national sons; rises to it*levelof force and characteristic felicity. Theman who can listen to the lines withoutbping stirred is deficient innerve-. Butstill more emotional is the music. It isdoubtful whether R»ugotde t'lsle composedthe music. Itseems too much for one manon one night to write a'mosi Immortal verseand wed it to immortal music. The wordshad their effect upon tile French of thatday, but their meaning has bee me feeblerby the removal of the causes. France, isnot oppressed to-day. The pain sng.ge«ted by the words of the "Mar-seillaise" can therefore only be historic,and those who are not oppressed may- shrugtheir shoulders at those who were and nowrepose in the common tenement of clay.The extravagance of much ofShakespeare'slanguage now causes us to smite becausethe tunes arc changed, and we with them.but the music of tuts "Marseillaise" lives

and is the inspiring property of all coun-tries. Be ita German hymn or a musical in-

spiration Sashing up In the brain of Kongetd'lsle, the effect is the same. It is thegrandest national air in existence— far abnveIlayda'a gracious "Hymn to the Emperor, "or"Scut's Whii' Hap," "God S;ivo the Queen,""Yankee Doodle," and half a dozen otherpatriotic airs rolled into one. The air baagiven courage to the oppressed of all conn-tries. 1; is impossible to listen to it with-out being; stirred and exalted.

THE GREAT MOROSE FIERCE.

An Artist in Literature Right in OurVulgar Midst.

Why His Books Will Be Published and B-ad

in Future Yean, Though Nobody

Prints Them Now.

Written for The Morning Call

"lie saw an enormous panther draggingthe dead woman toward the window, its

teeth fixed in her throat.* • * The

clothing was deranged, the lonz hair in dts-Older, the limbs lay anyhow. From thethroat, dreadfully lacerated, had issued a

pool of blood, not yet entirely coagulatedThe ribbon with which he had bound the

wrists was broken, the hands wero tightlyclenched. Between the teeth was a frag-

ment of the animal's ear."This is not a quotation from a ten-cent ter-

rible or a nickel nerve-knocker. It waswritten by a great man, Mr. Morose Fierce.

Yes, .Mr. Fierce wrote that. Therefore itis art. You don't see the art. but Mr.Fierce' s admirers will tell you that that isbecause you are too nice."Itis the literature of the future," they

declare. -%r..- ,

And the general reader says, "lhaukGod."

"Oh, you read the maz;izine«, say

Fiercu's friends. "You can't appreciateFierce. Why, the name of Morose Fiercewilllive after nil the Ilo.wellsc, the Jamesesand the Killingsshall have sunk Into thenothingness of the goody-goody. You knowall the goody-goodies are going to sink intonothingness, don't you ? But MoroseFierce, sir, Iwill bave you to understand,is net a goody-gnody? Have you noticedthe neat wav he has of paralyzing the La-dies' Hume Journal and all the magazinesand the publishers generally? Haven t

noticed that, eh? You've missed agood thing. Why, Fierce says allpublishers are fools, and all foolsaie publishers. Rich, isn't It? No. Pierrecan't get his books published unless lieputs up the money or cets somebody to

itfor him. He's got a whole trunkfulof manuscripts that no publisher wouldtouch with a 10-font pole. Ah, Pierce is agreat writer." That shows it, you know. Ifpublishers willnot publish your books thatis a sure sign ofgenius. Have you read hislatest, The Blood on the Carpet'? It tellsabout a man with no toes on his lett f"<>\trying to cut the head off a woman andcutting on* his own by accident. 1 tellyou there is ait in that story, true ait. loucan tell that by the feeling in your stomachafter you have finished reading. Fierce' is a '

great man."Proof is not wanting of the fact that Mr.

Fierce has nt least two dozen admirer*.They constitute the Morose Fierce Admira-tion Bureau. They cut out all that Mr.Fieice writ for the newspapers and pasteitin sctapbookf, one of which you could notbuy for fluOO, and which you would notlake If a man followed you ten bl< c*swith It.

"Did you read that particularly fine thingof Fierce:--, published last Suudaj?'' asks amember of the bureau. "Imean that aboutthe young schoolgirl's poetry. The school-girl is about 14 years old, yi'U know. Shehad an idea shh could write, but Fierceground that girl into smithereens, lieshowed that she was simply not iiiit. Thatwns a bright expression of his, 'The Pegas-sified fructifyer of such puerile rot it wereblasphemy to call it muck— ought to bespanked.' Then you ought to see the way

lie went for Sunday-school superintendents,and how he showed up the supreme kiliter-eracv of persons v. bo do not s iv 'the NowVorkan lake ,' instead of 'the New Yolklakes.' (_))<, itwas superb

Fierce prides himself on the fact that nomagazine ever publishes his stories. "Thosechildish magazines"— he wouldn't take athousand dollars a line and write for them;

They are altogether to nice. They are too

modern. Blast them all, they are right upto date! Why, they are full of sunshineand reflect actual life, photograph if, infact. Their illustrations are chiefly basedou phntOiirnplH. They show lucid, coni-

iiioniNßCo pictures of things— ac'inl scenesand actual persons. Not a single distorted,ugly, hideous sketch can you find. Theyare natural, realistic

—a plague on 'em

all. They givo you glimpses Into thereal live* of people. As if "anybodycared for that sort of ro\ or ought lv carefor it. Why, it i-, the. hideous tl at peopleought to be looking for— the gtiastily un-natural, the ereepily, crawlily, horribly,

disgustingly delightful. What is the goodof sunlight? What is the good of seeingdecent things— of looking upon anythingbut the harrowing? A plague on the child-ish, commonplace sun. Give us a good,fcteady-iroiiur, trustworthy eclipse. That iswhat we want. That is what people willappreciate when the time for reading thelitfiature of the future comes around. Theliterature of the future— that's what it is.Don't call Itthe resurrection of the litera-ture of Edgar Allan Poe. People never ap-preciated Pee. lie was too delightfullyhorrible. But they willappreciate Fierce

-in time.

This natural literature will bfgln to takea back seat just as soon as people begin toappreciate tiio unnatural school, of whichMr. Morose Fierce is an exponent. Justyou watt until people begin to grow plantsdown in their cellars. Titan you'll seesomething. You'll see beautiful, lon*,white stalk*, with the most perfect leaveson delicate leave*, white-green— whatpeople who don't know any better call"sickly vegetation." Why there are peoplewho would actually take those plants catinto the sunlight and let them grow in thatbeastly natural way. Faugh! As if wewanted anything natural. Just wait untilthe unnatural methods come into vogue,and then you'll see plants and literature.that will be worth seeing.

Then too tlie.-e childish, natural writerslet blood stay in the veins of the peoplethey write about. Isn't that just too ridic-ulous for anything? What you want to dowith your blood is to scatter it about— letpeople see It. It's a nice thing to look at,blood is. Give us plenty of gore. Nowhere is a passage with the true art feelingin it. It is from "The Affair at Coulter'sNotch":

"When the gun was sponged it wasloaded; when loaded, aimed and tired. Thecolonel observed something new to his mili-tary experience— something horrible nndunnatural: the gun was bleeding at themouth. In temporary default of water theman sponging had dipped his SDonge in apool if bis eomrad«>' blood."

Isn't it great! What other man besidesFierce could write like that?

Other people might try, of course, butthen they could not get in blood enouchand horror enough. The publishers willnot have it,of course, which is proof posi-tive of Fierce* greatness.

The publisher of the future willsay to hismanuscript reader:

"Bead that•stuff of Mr. Redblood Hor-

rors?"'"Yes," willcome the reply.•Think it willdo?""Ah, it is great. Itell you Horrors is an

artist. Why, Ihaven't been able to eatanything since Ibegan reading it. Itellyou, sir. there's a man who can reachpeople's stomachs. That book will be thosuccess of the year."

HETHERINGTON IS HERE.

(tower Robinson's Slayer Arriveson the .Oceanic.

He Refutes to Be Interviewed and Acts Likea Boer- His Wife Snubbed on Board

the Steamer.

"J. 11. Hctherington, wife and child,lowa," was the legend written ina nervous,irritable hand across the page of the Occi-dental Hotel register jestrrday. Little at-tention v.'as paid to itat first, but when itbecame known that it was none other thanthe notorious lieutenant of the United Statesnavy who shut and killed Gower RobinsonIn the streets of Yokohama there was animmediate desire to oaten a glimpse of him.The fact that ho was the central figure inone of the greatest scandals of the age madehim an object of lie keenest curiosity, butto this the fiery lieutenant most strenuouslyobjected, and in refusing to bo interviewedhe acted like a man with a wheel in his head.He turned very red in the face and cursedvery loudly, and even went so far as to

make violent and threatening gestures. Heprobably thought that his reputation as akiller would have the effect of frighteningall interviewers.

The lieutenant and his wife arrived bythe Oriental and Occidental Company'ssteamer Oceanic, which steamed into theharbor yesterday morning, and after laning were driven at once- to the OccidentalHotel, where they were assigned to room214 and proceeded at once to deny them-selves to all callers,

REFUSED TO BE BEES.

To all cards sent up the invariable reply

was returned that the lieutenant could notbe seen, and the hotel employes reported

that be was not in amost amiable mood. Infact he acted like a man who was mad allover, and who had soured on the world.

His* fellow-passengers, as a rule, pro-nflunecd him a decent feliow, but declaredthat his trip across was anything but apleasant one, owinc to the fact that Mrs.Heiberington was ostracized by the ladiesaboard ship. This made the husbandangry, and ho took no pains to conceal hiswrath. He swore at everybody and every-thing, and conducted himself in such a waygenerally as to leave the impression that hewas something of a boor by nature. As tothe wife, however, she saw how thingswero drilling and in a few days after sail-ing she retired to her 'cabiu and but littlewas seen of her from that time until thevessel was docked at this city. Occasion-ally she appeared at tho concerts andlectures which were given aboard ship, butalways in the most unobtrusive manner andwith Hie air of ono who realized that shewas being shunned. She was most devotedto her infant, and seemed to find In it asource ofcomfort. Her toilet was of themost simple nature, and during the entirevoyage she dressed in dark, sober-coloredclothing.

When the steamer was docke 1 th« newsthat Uetherington and his wife were enboard spread like *prairie tire, and in a fewminutes the dock whs lined withan anxiouscrowd to catch a glimpse of the notoriouscouple. This seemed to enrage the lieu-tenant, whose, fierce red whiskers fairlycurled with indignation, and as he walkeddown the plank, leading his wife to a car-riage which stood in waiting, the curseswhich ho uttered could bo distinctly heardby the bystanders. To a reporter whoasked him for an interview he sail: "Getout of my way, and attend to your ownlusiness.

-Idon't.want to talk to you or

any of your kind."HOW THEY LOOKED.

They willremain here for a few days andthen proceed East. The lieutenant willgoto Washington and his wile to her old hometo visit her mother.Inappearance Hetherington is not at all

prepossessing. lie is tall and squarelybuilt, and resembles more a prosperousfarmer than a naval officer. His hair andbeard are of a bright red hue, and his faceis florid in complexion.

His wife is certainly a pretty woman,with a tall and stylish figure. Her mosthandsome features are her eyes, which arelarge ana lustrous and of a deep-blue color.Woutk-rlug eyes they are, with somethingin them, strange to say, of the innocence tila baby, and set remarkably far apart, tierface, is small and oval in shape, and re-minds one of the faces in a painting of the.old, musters. Crowning the face is a massof fluffy golden hair.
