CLEVELAND, May 5-An attempt was
made Thursday night to ahduct Laeia

dime museum Among the recent improve

the dressing room of the midget. Just fol.
lowing Eer introduction at s o'clock. and her
return to her dressing-room, Manager Frank
Uffner stepped out for a cigar. Her father
had gone to the theatre below, the interpre-
ter was circulating among the crowd in the

When Uffner returned, ten minutes later, he
noticed his charge was missing. He felt no
uneasiness at her absence until he looked out
into the hall and saw she was not there He
then noticed that the outside door leading to
the escape stairway was ajar Hur.
riedly throwing it open and looking be-
low, he saw two men just leaving the
foot of the stairway. Divining that they
had stolen the Mexican mite he rushed down
and ran along the alley after them. Before

DEFECTIVE MARRIAGE LAWS.

The marriage laws of our land are
greatly in need of revision. and should be
made more stringent in every respect
The boy and girl marriages, marriages on
momentary impulse, marriages into which
victims are seduced by artful plots, and
marriages that lead tolawsuits and uncer-
tainty of legitimate birth, all show the
necessity of greater consideration of the
subject by our lawmakers, and the
adoption of uniform system throughout
the country. Under the present want of
system and uniformity, almost anything
passes for marriage ceremony, and the
stFictness with which ordinary business IS
transacted is not reached by many wed
dings. Two people meet and are almost
instantly bound in matrmony, and before
ascertaining if their temperaments and
dispositions will allow them to live peace
fullytogether. Nine times out of ten such
marriages end in divorce suit. Parties
contracting marriage should everywhere
be compelled to take out license, have a
public record made of the actual mar
riage and secure certificate OF marriage.
A case is now before a New York court,
in which boy and girl, for the amuse-
ment of the company at party they at
tended, went through the ceremony OF
marriage, and now the couple are legally
fast bound, though they no more wish tC
be man and wife than mile stone and a
