The Family Names Of women,

Inc Family Names OF women.
There is u lawyer who does n great
deal ofreal-estate conveyancing one
of the chief whose grievances in life is
the scant respect that women show
toward their names. The fact that
acertain alteration takes place in the
name ut marriage destroys, so he
claims, whatever regard a woman
might beexpected to pay to an exact
rendering. and the fact that any legal
signiticancecnnin in any case attach to
thetorm seems to he quite beyond the
grasp of the average feminine brain.
1t n gIrl baby is christened Elizabeth
she viii ,ss::-rn herself when called
on to put her nnme to. q deed after
she is grown, Lizzie, Lisa, Elise, ia
bet, or Lisbeth, according to which
diminutivehappens to lie her favorite
for the year, and will omit her middle
name, give il in full, or by initial, or
sign instead Other own her husband's 3
name, according to her sweet liking.
The task OF the lawyer who has to
trace up half Il dozen of these sigma
lures to make sure that they all refer
to the same person is not calculated
to make easy the task of his wife who
has to soothe his rutfled temper with
IL good dinner. That tho married
women should in all cases retain her
ownfamily name, preceding it by her
given name and following it with her
husbands family nameis the lawyers
plea il lleisto he saved from insanity.

Refuse to Shave Widows,
Heads,
Y.
IN. D


The agitation among the BARRIERS
Of Bombay is likely to result in their
refusal to shave widows heads. on
course, those who areacquainted with
native views in India will recognize
that tlisintimationis is not 80 comical
as it sounds, Dut has u very serious
meaning and reflects great credit on
the native barber. 1t is II relic of a
system of cruel treatment ofnative
widows that they should have their
hair shorn of ut the moment of their
nfliiction. Native Journals have re-
eentl y been denouncing the cruel prac-
tice in spite OF the opposition Of the
Brahmins, who have themselves
threatened to cut the hair of the wild
ows if the BARRIERS refuse.
This, however. 1t is said the BraI,-
minis could not do without losing
caste. The revolt in Bombay il due
tn the excessive cruelty practiced to-
ward widows there, Up country the
practice of shaving the widows Aeat
is not so persistently enforced rs In
Bombay. The huir is allowed to
grow again, and the widow is onlv
cxpec ted to submit to n renewal Of
tho unwelcome operation when abe
visits II shrine of specinl sanctity. In
Bombay widows are shaved regularly
once II week, and this causes them
deep distress,-Bombay Letter.

AcoAL FIND.
A Deposit OF Coal Found in South
Dakota, Of Good Quality:

A Deposit Of Coal Found in South
Dakota, Of Good Quality:
CHAMBERLAIN, s. d., Special Telegram
Intense excitement was caused in Chamber
lain and vicinity to-day by another find ol
coal, which was made by d. w. Spalding.
clerk ofthe courts for Brule county OH tho
reservation within few miles of Chamber
berlain, and the samples have been on en-
hibition in his office in this city to-day,
hundreds of people going there to cx-
anime them. They are by long odds
Of better quality than any of the previous
finds, and indicate vein fully equal
to the very best quality of coal ever shipped
into the country from the East. Mr.. Spal-
ding is one of the very oldest residents of
the state, has travelled over the reservation
during past years probably to greater cx-
tent than any other white man, having had
the most absolute confidence and respect OF
the Indians. and has frequently asserted in
the past that good quality OF coal existed
IN the vicinity OF tlis city on the rescrva-
ton, and that the opening to settlement of
that tract meant the solution OF the coal
question for South Dakota The bringing in
OF these samples by him proves the accuracy
of his knowledge. He states that there is
no possible question as to there being Il
large and paying vein. 1t is possible, how
ever, that practical mining may be- deferred
until the plnts Tor the land arc placed on
record in the land Office here, SO that iil-
ing may be had that the rights OF the for
tunate finder may be protected. One thing
is now absolutely certain-coal of good
quality exists in this vicinity, md the
prairie farmers will speedily bc relieved
from the cxorbitant exac,ions of Eastern
coal barons and railroads for supply oi
this necessity. There has been no question,
as to the existence OF coal OH the. west sid.
of the river. Indications have been ire
quentiy found. 1t has simply been ullcs-
ton as to quality, and this find tavorubly
settles that question.

been granted d pension, having successfully
proven that his papers had been stolen.
The pension authorities put detectives OH

was disclosed. When arrested Shepard was

e. II. cowles. Of Cleveland Shot by
his Brother-in-Law.
MONTREAL, Que, Spccial.-To-day q
tragedy was enacted on st. Catherine street
that has thrown the city into great excite
ment. The street was crowded with pcdcs-
TRANS as usual at that hour. They were
suddenly startled by flash Of smoke and
heard pistol shot and wonans scream.
A two-horse carriage from which the shot
was fired was brounght to standstill and q
lady aliglted. In it were still two men,
the one with smoking revolver in his
hand, the other Unconscious and his blood
streaming into the rugs of the car
riage. The wounded man was Eugene H.
Cowlcs of Cleveland. Ohio, son of the late
Edwin II. Cowlcs. o: the Cleveland Leader.
His assailant was c. H. Hale OF the same
city and the woman was COwlcs' wife and
Hales sister. A few hurried words were
exchanged. when Mr. Hale ordered the cab
man to proceed to the general hospital. Mrs.
Cowles re-cntered the carriage and accorn-
panied the party to the hospital. DIR. Kirk
patrick, the meflical superintendent at tho
hospital, had the wounded man conveyed
to a private ward. where a close examina-
ton was made. The physician announces
that there is no immediate danger. Tho ball
had entered the right sideof the neck, and.
after piercing the right jaw bone, emerged
through the cheek Of the opposite side. Mr.
Hale surrendered himself to the police and
was locked up. Mr.. Hale makes the state
ment that the trouble between
COwLEs AND HIS WIFE
was caused by Cowlcs making two trips to
Europe with woman known as King or
Wilson, and who is now at q hotel here,
having come from Buffalo last Monday.
Mrs. Cowle had applied for divorce on
the ground of adultery. Cowlcs admitted
his guilt, but declared that his wife had
condoned the offense. Mrs Cowles, how
ever, had In her possession letter in which
he admitted the facts on which she based
her application. After the parties all ar
rived here O consultation was had, and
Cowles promised TO meet his wife and ar
range settlement of their affairs. To-
days meeting and tragedy ensued.
Cowles wished the interview with his wife
to be private. but Hale refused and accom-
panied them in short drive in the park.
The interview was in progress when Cowies
made movement as If to draw a revolver,
when Hale anticipated him with the result
as stated. Cowles little daughter Florence
whom it is alleged lie abducted from her
in the Academy Of the Sacred Heart in
Montreal. An order was procured from
Judge Duges to tae sisters in charge of the
convent to produce the child, but they re-
fused. The court will issue All official
mandamus tomorrow. when guardian
will be appointed. Mr.. Hale will appear
in the police court Tomorrow for an exam
ination. Mucn sympathy is exprcsted for
hin, and Mrs. Cowles as it Is believed that
Cowles intended killing both his wife and
child unless prevented by her brother.

Why Mr.. Gladstone Uses Post

DO you know why it is that the

yariably uses the humble postal card
for the purposes of correspondence?
1t Is because he is the father of the

made long and hard battle in ad-

uses it more than any twenty other
men in public lite to prove his faith
in it's utility.-Eugene Fields Letter.
