Russian Early Marriages.
From the PAN Mall Budget

1t lis nothing new In Russia 10 see q band q
convicts in their coarse gray uniform, with Q
large orangecolored cross covering the back,
trudge wearily along on their way to Siberia
But these miserable caravans are formed Of
men, only female convicts being generally con.
veyed by rail or steamer. Some eighty -four Of
these latter left Odessa the other day by the
steamer Costrome for the island of Sakalhin, on
the coast OF eastern Siberia. According TO the
Nocoe Prensya, thirty-six of the women were
transported for murder or attempted murder Of
being under the age OF twenty. One bride Of
sixteen had killed her husband within the first
week after marriage; another OF sweet seven
did the deed; and third, OF eighteen, was con-
victed for killing her husband during the night
by blows with q heavy hammer. Which facts
demonstrate that, however beneficial early
marriage may be In other countries, In Russla,
At least, no woman should be allowed 70 marry
before she ID twenty.

Ex-senator Sharon died in San Francisco at
halfpast three o'clock yesterday afternoon.
There was no clergyman present The
ex-senator left several charitable be-
quests, but their nature is not yet known.
Some days ago he made q solemn declara-
ton that he had never offered marriage TO
or married Sarah Althea Hill, and that, in
his belief. her claim to be his wife was merely a
conspiracy to extort money. He declared that
he had never entertained a thought of yield

yesterday that the death Of the Senator ended

widows share OF the community property.
Then We will deny that she is Sharon s widow,
and she will have a chance to prove it II she
can. Her witnesses have confessed their per-
jury. She cannot put in as evidence the judg-
ment In Judge Sullivan's court, for, under q de-
cision OF the Supreme Court while a judgment
Is pending on appeal 1t cannot be used rs evil

William Sharon was born at Smithfield, Ohio,
January 8, 1921, was admitted to the bar In ST.
Louis, abandoned the practice Of his protest. on
and in 1S49 made his way to San Francisco,
where he conducted a real estate office for four
teen years. Then William c. Ralston, at that
time manager of the Bank of San Francisco en-
gagged him as his representative at the mines,
An opportunity soon came for sharon to specu-
late. Having control of large sum of money
belonging TO the Bank of San Francisco he In
vested it In the Crown Point and Belcher mines,
and during the first halt OF 1872 cleared
100000 in hard cash. Mr.. sharon
elected to the United States Senate from the
state of Nevada in 1875. He served one full
term of six years as q republican.

debut on the stage in San Francisco last night
but IL WAS DOStDOned.

THoiH tHe AVlHutS Nons&tuu0h
The man who has lost his grip deserves more
attention than he usually receives. He is an
old friend. Everybody knows him. He is the
man who lives, not from choice, but from ne
cessity, on diet Of cold shoulder. II seems
impossible for q man who has completely lost
his grip TO regain IL. He may be a steam engine
in breeches and a model of good conduct aud
integrity, but his energy and ability will go Tor
nothing. II is useless for him TO assert himself
and make decided stand. The tide is against
him and he cannot breast IL successfully. Why
is this SO? To this question all sorts OF answers
have been given. The fact that our unfortunate
acquaintance once had a grip Indicates that he
at one time In his career Possessed some OF the
essentials belonging to the makeup of a sue.
cessful man. The explanation of his hopeless
and helpless flop" involves the ANALYSIS Of the
leading conditions OF success and failure.
