She Has a Lovely Home, Lovely Husband,
and Makes Famous Tea.
From the Evening World.
Mrs Mona Card, whose views of marriage are
known to fame, is woman of culture, q lover
OF jewels and laces and dainty draperies, open to
all aesthetic influences. Her drawlng-room in
London reflects her quaint and original taste in
its arrangements, its inviting ingle nooks and
the odd windows over the mantel The den in
which she writes cries out against its name. 1t
is marvel of white enameland delicate tintings,
even the bookcases and the pretty writing-desk
showing the fieckless finish. Mr.. Caird proclaims
himself ready to maintain against all the world
that his wife makes the best cup of tea in Lon
don. She 10 pretty figure while serving it,
clothed in long, falling house-robe in tints of
pink and gold Her soft, heavy brown hair
waving low on her forehead, the dainty cups and
saucers fragile as eggshells, seeming filter bur-
dens than sociological treatises for her fingers.
Mr.. Card is a son of Sir James Caird, and, judG-
ject arises is more interested in his wife's tea
than in her theories. He listens respectfully,
however, while she tells me thar her views of the
marriage relation have been misunderstood
quite generally.
''Instead OF holding,'' she said, THAT men and
women should be allowed to marry and separate
as easily as they would meet for visit in u
country house, believe most seadfasty in life
long marriages; but the bond should be free
contract, resting on love and conscience. and II
husband and wife found that, after all, their
union was n mistake and harmonious life to-
gether impossible, they should not be forced to
live on for the rest of their days terrible eXis-
tence, outraging both body and soul. Strange as
it may seem, believe that to make marriage
diSSOluble is the way to greater permanence in
the relation The fact that thing cannot be
undone is enough to make many wish to try"

"Only education to II higher view of marriage,

Kicking Is Contagious.
Kansas City Globe.

hansas UlJy hIUOe'
Did you ever hear an old crank get started to
kicking in a crowded street-car? He starts in
by complaining that every car ON the line inYa-
riably tried to miss him, the conductor and grip
man turning their heads in another direction as
he stood waving his cane on the crossing. Then
he spouts about the general lack of accommo-
dation on all cable lines in the country, declar-
ing that he never encountered a courteous en-
ploy6 of one of them in his life. By this time
two old women sitting opposite him have be-
come interested, and they follow suit with tale
of cablecar woe. In turn every old woman and
man in the car remembers and relates some
grievance against cable lines and servants, and
only the young lady in one corner and the re-
porter in the other are left to form the over
whelming minority, the satisfied public.

AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Treble Murder and Suicide BY Kansas
Farmer.

Treble Murder and Suicide BY Kansas
Farmer.
YATES CENTER Kan, June GA E
Coe, farmer living thirteen miles
southwest of here, about noon yester-
day shot and killed one of his brothers
in-law, Nathaniel Angiin, mortally
wounded another brother-in-law, Adrian
Anglin, killed his wife and committed
suicide.
A feud of long standing had existed
between a. E. Coe and his two brothers
in-law, Nathaniel and Adrian Anglin,
who recently rented farms near Coe,
southwest of here. Yesterday just be-
fore noon Coe went to the field where
Nathaniel Anglin was at work and shot
him dead.
Then Coe went about mile to where
Adrian Anglin was at work and shot
him, shattering his arm near the shout
der so that there is little hope OF his
recovery.
A short time after several shots were
heard at Goes house, and the neighbors
went to the place and found Mrs Coe
dead in the garden, with bullet hole
in the back of her neck, and Coe lying
on lounge in his house dead, with a re-
volver in his hand, having shot himself
in the forehead.
Coe was over fifty years of age and
heretofore a quiet, law-abiding citizen.
The Anglins were twenty-one and
twenty-six years old and both married
and were brothers of Mrs Coe.

THAT REVOLUTION.
A Mexican Merchant Declares 1t to BE n

Mexican Merchant Declares 1t to he n
Raid of bandits.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 25.-Senor
Felipe Gonzales, wealthy merchant
and rancher of Tampico. Mexico, who
arrived in this city yesterday from the
scene of the alleged revolutionary
operations in Mexico. declared that the
alleged revolution was nothing more nor
less than bold attempt of we'll or
ganized band of bandits to commit rob-
berry. Last Friday the bandits, under
the leadership of an ex-officer of the
Mexican army attacked train near
Monterey bearing gold and silver bull
lion TO the United States. The train
was we'll guarded by detachment of
soldiers and pitched battle ensued, in
which several of the bandits were killed
and their leader captured and has since
been shot
The bandits, Gonzales declared, were
Mexican refugees who crossed the Texas
side of the river near Laredo.
Notwithstanding the above, which
Senior Gonzales related with great earn
estness and an air of confident truth, it
is the general belief here that revolu-
tionary movements of no inconsiderable
Importance are in progress and the be-
lief is strengthened by the fact that it
is impossible to get answers to tele-
graphic inquiries on the subject sent to
the chief cites of bordering States

broad and Sweeping Change by tho
House Judiciary Committee.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The House
Committee on the Judiciary after hav-
ing under consideration for four meet
ings the Senate Original Package bill,
has dec ded TO report TO the House in
its stead substitute agreed on by the
committee with one dissenting voice.
1t is broader in scope than the Senate
bill, inasmuch as its provisions apply to
ali articles of Interstate commerce,
whereas the Senate bill only applies to
Intoxicating liquors. The substitute is
as follows: That whenever any article
of commerce is imported into any State
from any other State, Territory or
foreign Nation and there held
or offered for sale, the same shall then
be subject to the laws of such State,
provided that no discrimination shall
be made by any State in favor of it's
citizens against those of other States in
respect to the sale of any article of
commerce, nor in favor of its own prod
ucts against those of like character pro-
duced in other States, nor shall the
transportation of commerce through
any State be INSTRUCTED except in the
necessary enforcement of the health
laws of such State"
Representative Reed. of Iowa, will
