A Decision Invalidating Marriages Be-
tween Whites and Indians.
DETROIT, Jan. ga case has just been
settled which involves the question of the
validity OF marriages between whites and
indians. FOrty-dye years ago there lived
in Pittsburg a man of great wealth named

William and Addison. About 1912 these
two boys went 10 Saginaw, Mich, where
Addison met an Indian maiden whose
name in English was "Straight Back
and, seeing her one day with her father in
a store, he piled up before the old man
stock OF goods till the latter was satisfied
and gave the maiden TO MOwrey for his
wife.
Later they were married after the Eng
lisE form. A year afterward Addison
died. His Indian wife was recognized By
his relatives, who took charge Of the re-
mains. The other son, William, had also
married an Indian, and each OF the
brothers had two children. After Addi-
sons death William lett Saginaw and
went back 20 Pittsburg, where no died.
The father, Peter MOwrey, about the
same time died, interstate, aud the mother,
not recognizing these Indian children as
heirs, took possession Of the property,
amounting 10 several million dollars. and
made liberal gifts 10 the city and 20 varl-
GUS public works. Recently she also
died.
Lawyers Of Isabella county, where the
children and wives IF the MOwreys lived
and are still living, caused a suit 10 be-
brought m the UniteG states Court 10 OBJ
tain the estate for toe alleged heirs. Tue
case went 20 the United states Supreme
Court, which has Just decided that these
Indian marriages were only matters ~
convenience and not binding in law and
that the claimants could not recover.

| A constant reader is anxious TO
know why his hens don't lay any bet
ter. and 1t is very evident from the tone
of his letter that he thinks he is givin 7
them the very best of care. He states
that he has aboutone hundredPlymouth
Rock hens in good warm stable at
the barn; in the morning he feeds them
with corn and wheat; at noon, with
wheat bran and Skinned milk, and at
night he give, them as much corn as
they will eat; they are also provided
with coal ashes and ground oyster
shells. They do not, however, lay any
eggs, with the exception Of dropping
one, occasionally, with soft shell
during the night this farmer wants
advice, in order TO remedy the diff
Guilty. if possible, which is not at all
sup Using, as feeding one hundred hens
through the winter, and there failing
to lay any eggs, is decidedly unpro-
Ifitable, to say the least. The great
trouble with this farmers hens is they
are too fat. that is the reason they drop
eggs with soft shell; he must change
his system of feeding, by giving them
more oats and wheat, and very little
corn, not any corn in fact, excepting
a light feed on a cold night. He should
| give the SKINNED milk and wheat,
bran warm, earley in the morning,
oats at noon, and wheat at night. He
keeps Plymouth Rocks, and it will
not answer at all TO feed that variety
all the corn they will eat II must be
fed very sparingly, or else they will
soon become worthless as egg pro.
ducers. There is, however, no better
winter layer than the Plymouth Rock
when they are led and housed properly,
but beware OF King Corn, for lie has
ruined many q noble hen. This farmer
also keeps most too many hens 1000 in

room, are never confined to limited

They must, however, be kept free
from vermin, and not be overfed. Keep
them little hungry by feeding rather
less than they would eat each time.

Crossing tne Arthur Hill.

In the New Jersey House of Delegates
on Thursday the CON nlttee on riparian
rights reported the Parker resolution
requesting Congress not ~ authorize
the bridging of the Arthur Kill by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad by Q
substitute. The substitute strengthens
the resolution. 1t rotests against any
action on the part Of Congress having
In view the erection OF bridge over the
nasigAble waters Of a State as q
usurpation of power belonging az
oiustvely TO the State. The resolution
also states that the consent of New
Jersey will not be given to the erection
OF q bridge over the Arthur XIII. 1t
states that the attempt to legalize such
bridge In advance Of its construction
By enaoting that it shall be- q post road
IL an evident suoterfuge. A motion to
postpone the further consideration OF
tue resolution for week led to n long
debate. in which many members par
ticipated. A report was received in
Baltimore on Thursday that the con-
sideration of tue resolution had been
postponed until next week.

to turn it between his hands in order 10 screw
