following under the head Of ''Matri
monial Advertisements, = which can be
read by young ladies with much profit
to themselves. Such advertisements
are, to say the least, wicked, and no
man or woman of any standing would
resort to such means to get a companion

last week all the way from Steubenyille,
Ohio, to Providence, r. l., expecting to
meet the indicters of a matrimonial adj

published in a Cincinnati paper. One
wonders at the folly of the young wo-

two silly girls. neither of them out Of
their teens, making them a butt for
ridicule and possibly running their fu-

The story has its moral for impulsive
young women. Happily our Catholic
girls are safeguarded by the salutary Ia
huences of the Christian home where
the Virgin mother of purity and good
counsel is presented as their model and
invoked as their guide and protectress.
But for the safeguarding Of girls out

A MILLIoNArRE.s SPORT.
Austin CorbIn Has Imported Wild Boar'
and other Game from Abroad for
Ills Hunting Forest.
New York Tribunc.)

One of the steamers which arrived in
this port lately brought consignment of
fourteen wild bears to Austin Corbin.
They were sent at once to Mr. Corbin's
forest and estate in New Hampshire, where
thcv will be used for breeding purposes.
Mr.. Corbin's forest is one of the largest
private possessions of the kind in the
United States and rivals those of many
European noblcmcn. The estate COM
prises about q 600 acres of wooded land.
Three beautiful lakes and more than forty
miles of river water are included in the
estate.
Mr.. Corbin's desire to make it great
hunting preserve is rapidly becoming real
lied He already has moose. carebou, elk,
black and white tail deer. Hogs arc also
among the large number Of animals which
already roam about the great forest, but
they are too domcsticatcd to insure the
sport desired by the owner and his friends.
Following the advice of German familiar
with the wild boar hunts of his native
country, Mr.. COrbin sent to Germany for
number Of the boars with which to stock
his place. The contract was taken by an
animal dealer in Hamburg, who was ia
miliar with the haunts of the wild boar in
the Black Forest and the northeastern
part of Prussia, where the royal hunts
usually take place Mr.. Corbn's repre-
sentative succeeded in capturing fourteen
young ones, which in a few years will in
crease to hundreds. No sport is enjoyed
so much in Germany as hunting the wild
boar The old Emperor William loved to
chase the courageous animal, even in the
last few wears of his life. No invitation
is more welcome now to the noblemen of
Prussia than that of the young emperor to
join him in pursuing the wild boar. The
animal is looked upon as the original
stock of the domestic breeds of swine. 1t
is equal to the largest of the domestic
kind in size, while it is superior to them
all in strength and ferocty of disposition.
In color the boar is grayish-black. 1t is
covered with short, wOolly hair, thickly
intcrspcrsed with coarse, stiff bristles,
which along the spine assume the form of
Il name. They are found in various parts
of Europe and Africa.

TRAIN ROBBERS.
Slow Progress Made in the Trial at
Iexarkana-Ratcliff' Condition.
Another Charge of obstructing Mails Flied
Against the Prisoners-A Crank in
Court-A Negro Killing.
Special to the Gazette.

PSClal 20 bne OazetJe+
TExARKANA, Tex, June 18.-The pre-
liminary trial of the alleged Cotton Belt
train robbers progresses slowly. The
court room was densely crowded and the
evidence of witnesses was tedious. John
A. Williams, the detective, said to be
the leading spirit of the out
rage, was arrsigned yesterday
morning and his trial commenced.
The evidence adduced is purely circum-
stantial, but common opinion is that it
points to his guilt. The entire week will
probably be consumed in the trial of the
parties. Jim Ratcliff, the wounded
prisoner, is pronounced beyond re-
ocvery, but still insists that he will get
well. There is no doubt but that he will
make a statement.
Af1idavits have been made against all
the prisoners before United States Com
missioner Taylor on the charge of OBJ
structiug the United States mails. All
the witnesses have been summoned to
Paris to appear before the grand jury of
the Federal court now in session there to
testify in the train robbers case.
A sens alton was created in the court
room THIS morning Dy Tue appearances Vi
a well-dressed stranger at the reporters
table. Sheriff Edwards was on the wit
ness stand testifying in the Williams
case. The stranger, after arranging
his writing material, called on
the crowd to know who was the court.
He was answered by the court itself,
when he demanded that the witnesses be
required to speak louder. Justice Can
non charged the crank $40 for the sug-
gestion and ordered the deputy sheriff to
take charge of him. 1t was evident that
the stranger wanted to be placed
in jail, where he conld communicate
with the parties, but was sent to the
calaboose instead. On searching his
person he was found to be a. NJ. Baker,
of 'Jonesboro, Ark. He had a
considerable amount of money and a
quantits of Identification blanks of
the Cotton Belt road and turned out to be
the man who has been filling out aud
| using these documents frequently, and
for whom the railroad detectives have
been searching for months.
