:Bigamy is a crime very much more
common among. men than among wom-
en-, but, occasionally there is a. female
bigamist with long record of matrimo-
nial experiences. A late trial in New
York has attracted good deal of at
tention. A woman who now calls her.
self Annie E. Whetmore, was arrested
some time ago for .bigamy in marrying
q man named Halves, whom she was be-
lieved to know was already married.
Her trial lasted several days, and
though Halves turned states evidence
she was triumphantly acquitted. In
the course of the trial it came out that
tho woman, who is not old by any
means, had at various times in her Gu
reer and at various places compris-
ing about half of the states of the Union,
been Mrs. Gentles. Mrs. Wallingford,
Mrs. Collier, Mrs. Tiffany, Mrs. Red
heffer, Mrs. Baukert, Mrs. Hooper,
Mrs. Peacock, and finally Mrs. Halves.
From all of these varied marital obliga-
tions, except the last, she had been
freed by divorce, usually applied for
and obtained within a few months after
. the ceremony of marriage. She always
managed to have good case, and her
husbands do not appear to have thrown
any impeachment in the way of her
fullest liberty.

The King and Emperor business

The hlng and Emperor business in

Humbert of Italy has so conducted him

relieve the whole Kingly procession to
some extent, from utter uselessness and
worse. 1t is not much, perhaps, that
be should visit. the hospitals of plague
stricken Naples. Priests and doctors

not, and royalty is profession which
has its obligations as well as any other.
But the simple manliness Of his
bearing, his frank sympathy: bring
ing hope and cheer into those
dreary abodes of misery, are not
professional, but personal qualities:
A correspondent says that in visiting
one OF the Naples hospitals the king

the old Spanish church at St. Augustine, Fla
This church was built by the French discoverel
Jacques Cartier for the French colony he had
founded. It is only a small building, being
only about 20 feet square, with avery low cell

after the discovery of the continent It con-

Dismantling the Guns.

Springfield Republican: About 120
old-style muzzle-loading So caliber
Springfield rifles are now dismantled at
the armory daily, and such parts as fit
the new breech-loading model are re-
used. The guns thus taken to pieces
are part of the 100000 old-style rifles
made at the armory during the war and
stored there unused after 1865. The
dismantling began in 1868, when it was
found that the whole gun could be sold
in the market for only $3.50, while the
parts which could be used in the new
model, together with the sale of the re-
mainder as scrap iron or to shotgun
makers, would net the Government
about 81. The parts sold are mainly
the stock and barrel and scrap material,
and most of these parts go to manufac:
t,irers of cheap shotguns. The Whit
ney Company, of New Haven, and the
Remington Company, of Illion, N. Y,
are large buyers. The 5O-caliber rifles,
which were first made in 1866, of which
only $4,000 were manufactured, were
active service, and have been mainly
worn out in it. There are now stored
at the armory about $4,000 OF the So
caliber model, and 1853, 1000 dismantled
barrels and 1913, 900 stocks. About 50,-
600 CLEANED and repaired" 5S-model
rifles are also stored, but will not be
dismantled, as they are mainly contract
guns and have seen such rough service
? III the field as to make it inadvisable to
use their parts in new rifles.
