NEW YORK, March 25.-Mrs. Mary E. Gone
was married last Monday to her uncle, Mr..
Edward Weston of the banking firm of
Weston & De Billier. The marriage was wit
messed only by the children of the two con-
tracing parties and was performed at Mr..
Weston's house, % West Twentieth street,
by the Rev. DR.. Macarthur of Calvary Bap-
fist church. Mr. Weston's first wife died
mHny years ago, leaving five children. He
retired from active business twenty years
ago and is sixty nine years old. Mrs. Cone,
who is fifty, is the widow of E. w. Gone, the
eldest son of the Rev. DR.. Spencer Fl. Gone,
the grandfather of Kate Claxton. She has
four children and since her husbands death
has made her home at the house of her uncle,
Mr.. Weston, taking charge of his children as
we'll as of her own. Kate Claxton's father
was brother of the present Mrs. Weston's
hrst husband. On account of the relation
ship between the parties it was considered
prudent to take legal opinion in regard to
the validity of a marriage. Nothing was
found in either secular law or the provisions
OF any Protestant church to prohibit mar
riage between uncle and niece and the couple

Los ANGELES, March 25.-Until about a

mother on a farm in East Galway, Saratoga
county, N. Y. But the impossibility of get

New York city, where he stayed until last fall:
He then came to Los Angeles, where he got
work in shop at small salary. In order
to save rent and expenses he made the shop
his home and slept there on a hard bench
He sent remittances regularly to his grand
mother, and his companions soon noticed
that he missed good many meals and ate
but little when he did eat. His pale face,
hating walk and weak appearance soon be-
gan to show that he was undergoing great
hardships. One day he tainted, evidently
from sheer weakness. He tried to turn the
matter off to a companion by saying that his
weakened condition was due to loss of Sleep
physician gave him narcotic, but it pro
daeed no effect and the man gradually grew
weaker and died. His condition showed
that he had really starved himself slowly to
