GERMANY'S GRETNA GREEN.
A Little Island Whose Chief Industry Ia
the Tying of NuptiaI Knots.

A Little Island Whose Chief Industry Ia
the Tying of Nuptial Knots.
The little rocky island of Heligo-
land, aside from its reputation as a
sea-bathing place, enjoys the addition
al one of being a sort of Gretna Green
for loving couples of the fatherland,
who fondly believe that they can enter
the haven of married life without the
numerous legal exactions and obstruc-
tiOns which the strictness of the i'm
perial statutes is apt to throw in their
way. Last year no less than forty
couples from abroad, who had gone
there expressly for the purpose, were
joined in wedlock, and up to the end OF
July upward Of twenty couples had
followed their example. 1t is, never
theless, fact that the presentation Of
the usual documents, such as certif-
Gates of birth, the written consent of
parents, etc, are as much required as
on the mainland.
The facility and expeditiousness Of
the procedure chiefly consist in that,
under certain circumstances, the lack
of one Of the necessary papers may be
dispensed with on formal declaration
upon oath, and that a single publica-
ton of the banns on a Sunday is con-
sidered sufficient as consistent with the
old Frisonian custom. Thus an anx-
ious couple may arrive Saturday night
and leave Monday morning happily
united. Many Of these candidates OF
wedlock take the way to Heligoland to
escape the long legal notice, and per-
haps also the long comments at home.
Others, again, choose the island route
to the hymeneal altar in order to save
the expenses of costly wedding and
to have wedding and bridal tour all
in one. The expense OF having the
knot tied on the island is not as cheap
as many people imagine, and certainly
not less than two hundred marks, one
half of which sum goes to the officlat-
ing Germany clergyman -Ssr's" AsF'

RUINED BY CALL LOANS.
Treasurer Axworthy's Fall, and His Efforts
to Make Restitution.

Treasurer Axworthy's Fall, and His Efforts
to Make Restitution.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 13.-Mayor Bab-
cock yesterday gave to the press letter
received by him from Thomas Axworthy,
the defaulting treasurer, written prior to
the formers hasty departure for Mon
treal. where the mayor was unsuccessful
in his attempt to secure an interview
with him. The letter bears date October
2S, and in it the writer says that his down
fall was caused by loaning on call, at the
suggestion of prominent Cleveland
parties, large sums of money on
which he received the interest regularly;
but greatly to his surprise, when the
principal was deman ded it was not forth
coming, and investigation proved that
the men, whom he supposed to be worth
millions, could not have paid the loans
within four months after they were made.
There was a combination to ruin him,
the writer says, and it succeeded admir-
ably. Mr.. Axworthy then gives list OF
his entire belongings, estimated by
him to be worth 1919, 900, and au-
thorizes the mayor to act as his attor-
ney in the transfer of his property to
the city to make good, as far as possible,
the loss sustained. His wife, he says,
will give quit claim to the same for
nominal consideration. The listincludes
stocks, bonds, notes. ETC., many OF which
are pronounced by bankers to be worth
less or of trihIng value. Mayor Babcock
will probably make another trip to Mon
treal in the hope of Of having personal
interyieW with the defaulter.

Climatic Effects Of the Comet.

Hon. Ignatius Donnelly accounts
for many of the phenomena OF this
earth ny saying that ut some time
during its earlier history it was
struck by comet "Ragnarok, the
book in which the theories of this
able writer are made known, upon
this subject, is,as many Of our readers
Know. an exceedingly interesting
work. In addition TO other changes,
Mr.. Donelly seems to think that the
comet produced the inclipation OF the
axis II the earth and made wonder
lul climatic changes,giving us present
conditions in exchanges fora temper
AZURE ofcontinual misunderstanding
fiom pole to lole. While time and
space forbid giving much attention to
tie subject, we believe TRIBUNE
readers will be interested in the fol-
lowing brief quotations:
And from that day to this we live
under the influence OF the effects pro-
duced by the comet. The mild, eter-
ual summer of the Tertiary age is
gone. The battle between the sun
and the ice sheets continues. Every
north wind brings us the breath OF
the snow, every south wind is part OF
the suns contribution to undo the
comets work. A continual amelio-
ration of climate has been going on
since the Glacial age; and, If no catas-
trophe falls on the earth, our remote
posterity will yet see the last snow
bank of Greenland melted, and the
Climate of the Eocene re-establisheds
in Spitzbergen."
ssTi'ii lie les les fields and Wild climate OF
the poles, and the cold which de-
sends annually over Europe and
North America, represent the resi-
dunn of the refrigeration caused by
the evaporation due to the comets
heat, and the long absence of the sun
during the age of darkness. Every
visitation of q comet would, there
fore, necessarily eventuate in gia-
cial age, which in time would pass
away. And our storms are bred OF
the conflict between the heat and
cold of the different ATTITUDES. Hence
it may be, that the Tertiary climate
the true climate of the
earth, undisturbed by comet catas-
a climate equable, mild,
warm, stormless. Think what a
world this would be without tenn
pests, cyclones, ice, snow, or cold!"

went out to the barn u few rods from
the house, to milk. Tuesday morn
ing her son, who had passed the night
at neighbors, returned home, and
not finding her. at once aroused the
neighbors. A search party was formed
and about six O'clock in the evening
she was found lying in the snow
about two miles from home. She had
evidently wandered around tor hours
looking for home, and then started
out with the storm and travelled I'M
til completely exhausted, then iaid
down to die. She was a woman of
between forty and fifty years of age,
and leaves husband and four
children, ranging in age from five to
sixteen years.

Another Manitoba Wreck.

The delayed west bound night
passenger train last Thursday morn
ing encountered broken rail one and
one half miles east of Clontarf and
was badly wrecked. The train was
being pulled by two engines. SIX
cars and one engine were derailed,
the mail car and the other engine
alone remaining. The smoker and
one coach went over on it's side. The
cars were thrown out from the track

seriously hurt. Mrs. J. A. Bemis
was on the train and was injured
abont the back. One gentleman had
an arm dislocated; another was
slightly burned and there were numer-
Gus black eyes and sore shins. Mr..
and Mrs. G. F. Cogel were on the
train and seem to think they had a
narrow escape.
