iiase traceaDie to want of forethought on
the part OIL parents and of young girls NV
observation teaches me that the average girl
thinks when she is nearing the end If
her school days that it is time to think of
matrmony. Many of our girls leave school
while yet in their teens and before thew have
time to study the world and its people thew
are deyoting themselves to discovering an
opportunity to find some one who will give
them the right to change from Miss to Mrs.
HOW often, either through perverseness on
the part of the girl or negligence on the part
OF parents, DO young girls form an alliance
WIN some worthless fellow, who is not
able to support himself, much less wife
and family, and in after years find their on1y
remedy III divorce court? How MANY wo
men are there who before they have at
tanned their twenty-fifth year discover that
they have made a mistake in marrying. and
who declare that life is not worth the liyingP
Their number Is legion. My advice to yonng
girls is that they should not hasten to rus6
INTO matrlmony and often misery. Parents
who have daughters should inculcate into
the minds OF such that they ought rot to
look for husband until they arrive at the
age OF 20, and my advice to the young girls
Is that they should use the time from the day
they leave school until they attain that age.
In iamllariZlng themselves with the ways of
the world and studying the ways and habits
OF those who pay them court. BY the time
tiey reach their twentieth year they will
have arrived at the age of discretion and
any girl OF common sense will be able to de-
termlne II party offering himself will make
suitable partner for life. A. la

HANGED, BUT HAD REVENGE.
An Event That Occurred in Nevada Min


An Event That Occurred in a Nevada Min
ing Camp.
l distinctly remember the first hanging l
ever saw in a Nevada mining camp, and as
put IN ten years out there, and as hang
ings came to be of weekly occurrence.
rather pride myself on this feat Of memory,
quotes the New York Sun. a lazy, quarrel
some miner named Ratteboue struck a man
with pick one day and killed him, and al
ter fair trial was found guilty and con-
dcmned to hang On the night preceding
the execution he. sent for me. l had once
ri ven him pipe. and had also written two
or three letters for him. and he reasoned
that | was his friend. When | entered his
presence be held ont his hand and said:
SAY, now, you don't believe Pm afraid to
hang?''
ION, no."
''Hain't no idea I'll weaken?"
None whatever"
"'Cause | propose to hang with grin on
my FACET I've got to hang. There is just
one reason why l don't want to. however,
and want you to do me favor"
"Well?
Go to the boys and state the case There's
an old fellow down the creek named Champ
lin. A month ago l got into fuss with
him, and he said Ia be hung inside of three
months. THIS thing will tickle him almost
to dea h. He'll say, L told you SOP and
ne II 60 on ABOUT The wicked being cut short
IN their career, and all that, and want to
diSappoint him"
But you are to hang in the morning."
Yes, | know, but L don't want to, you
see. just go and talk to the boys and tell
EN- about old Champ and get me Off"
didn't do anything, of course, and next
morning, when lie was led out, he pleaded his
own cause, but without avail. Just before
he was swung off he saw the old man in the
crowd aud called him up and said:
Chamr, you pie-bald, knock kneed old
cuss, you'll 60 around Dragging that you
predicted this and you'll wear your hat ON
your ear and step high. Durn your old hide.
but it's on your account l hate to CO. I've
got to, however, but I'll get even with you.
Hang NE if l don't turn into mule and
kick you to death afore the year is out"
Five months later a Spectator came into
our camp on a mule. The animal stood tied
10 tree, and when old Champ louDged up
e. pick up frying-pan, the brute Shot OUT
and hit him in the temple and keeled him
over stUne dead.

A NERVY BRIDE.
With Her Arm Broken She Insists Tha

With Her Arm Broken She Insists That
the Ceremony Proceed.
There was frightfui runaway accident
in Covington by which a bridal party mar
rowly escaped being killed.
Butler Barnes and Sarah Barnes, an elop-
ing couple from Montgomery County, KY,
arrived in this city last night ON a matri-
monlal mission.
Being cousins they could not get married
in this city. They procured a carriage and
went to COvingt0n. The driver took them
to the County Clerks Office Ia COviDgton Tor
the purpose of obtaining a marriage license.
He very fOOlishly allowed his horses to stand
without being hitched while he went in to
interview the County Clerk. While inside
the Clerks office an electric car came along
and frightened the horses. The animals
made break up Third street at fearful
rate OF speed, while the intended bride and
groom were screaming vocfer0usly iGr help.
There were lew people on the street at the
time, and consequently there was no at
tempt made to stop the horses. When it
reached Garrard street, in front of the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Stevenson, the carriage struck
lamp-post The horses were thrown down
and the carriage capsiZed. The occupants
were unable TO eXtricate themselves, and
Officers Cody and Bloom, who were in the
neighbOrhoOd, fastened to their rescue
and pulled them from the wreck. Mr..
Barnes received several small cuts, but
was not seriously injured Miss Barnes was
not so fortunate. Her injuries are very
painful and severe. Her left arm was
broken, and she received several bruises
about the head and face Her clothes were
badly torn, and she did not present exactly
the appearance Of a bride. The couple, how
ever, had started to get married and did not
propose 10 allow little thing like run
away accident to stop them.
After they had arranged their clothes they
walked around to the County Clerks office,
where things were made as comfortable as
possible for them. After the young lady
had recovered from the shock. a license was
issued and Judge Shine was sent for and
tied the nupLial knot. The young couple
werei doubly congratulated by the little
group of persons who witnessed the cere-
mouy.-Cincinnati ENQUIRER

The pineapple plants with winch Riley r.

among the rows Of his rose garden, are CON-

suckers worth 81 30, and the promise for
next season is that they will yield 81 wcrth

been in dem and all over the county and
some have gone to Orange and Pasadena
But four apples were produced last fall and
at the EXPENSE OF these plants, full vigOr, as
they should be year Odd before being per-
mittcd to bear. Mr.. Morrison has found
that they can can stand a temperature as
low as % degrees. About 4 month
ago he received $50 more plants gathered
from Cuba, Georgia and Southern Flor
ida. They represent twelve Of the best
known twenty varieties, including the
red Spanish, Sugar Loaf, AbAkchi, Prince

THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
They Are Entitled to Them and Tn
ShnmIl unxe Them.

They Are Entitled to Them and They
Should Have Them.
Editor IF0mdn'S Column Morning Call.
| am close reader of the several articles
that appear weekly in the Woman's Column
in The MORNING CALL, and am very
much interested in the discussions on the
subject OF the rights of women. Some of
the comm unications written by those who
declare themselves opposed to the enfran-
chlsement OF women raise the spirit of re-
volt within me when | think that any
woman can be so false to the interests of her
own sex az to indorSe the injustice of the
system that deprives her of her equal
rights. III these communications are writ
ten by women it is self-evldent that they
stand In need oil masters, as they are not
capable OF self government. But some
times | think and console myself with the
thought that these letters emauate from
masculine individuals, who are not only
afraid to be known, but are ashamed to
have 1t known that they are SO unchivalric
as to deny to woman the enjoyment of the
right that was hers when there were but
Two occupants in the garden of Eden. But
these letters serve good purpose in the
end; they serve to stimulate women to a
desire to regain their lost position IN the
world
The exclusion of women from the right to
use the ballot is great-injustice, for it de-
prlves her of all self protection, and 1t is
emblelnatc of the lowest barbarism, origin
ating from the tyranny of men to promote
sexual slavery; but the time is coming
when men will be compelled to grant women
the ballot, If for nothing else but to ensure
se1-respect. for no noble-mnded woman,
no Intelligent woman cap ever admire
an unjust, tyranncal man. Many
nuble women are now fighting for their
rights, aud they should never cease
until they obtain them. When once OBJ
tanned there will be an end to tyranny to
women, and when there is equal protection
to all, irrespective of sex, there will he bet
ter people and better government. A. NC.

In the January issue of the Ladies Home

OF the wife of Thomas A. Edison, the
Wizard of Menio Park, and the following
extract is taken therefrom:
Mrs. Edison is the daughter of Mr. Lewis
Miller, millionaire manufacturer and the
founder Of the settlement at Lake Chau-
tauqua, and was born at Akron, Ohio, in
1865. She was sent when quite young girl
TO bUardng-schooi in Boston, where she
was educated, remaining there, with the eX-
ceptlon OF her vacations, which were spent
at Chautauqua or in travelling, until she
was graduated. While continuing her
music and other studies in Boston after her
graduation, she met Mr.. Edison in the most
ordinary way known to modern romance
through an introduction in mutual friend s
drawing-room. The acquaintance culmi-

MRS. GILLIG'S MAID,
She Has Been Arrested in This
City on a Serious Charge.

Amelia Gehrling, neat appearing girl
about 20 years Of age, was arrested yester-
day morning by Officer Anthony rn a war
rant taken out in Sacramento BY Henry NJ
Glllig, the husband of Mrs. Amy Gillig nee
Crocker). The girl was placed in the prison
hospital, and will be taken up to Sacra-
mento to-day.
The Charge is not mentioned in the war
rant, but it probably is equivalent TO grand
larceny, according to the story told by the
girl yesterday to a number of reporters.
She can only speak German, and the services
of Oficer Anthony had to be secured as in
terpreter. Miss Gchrling's version of the
matter is that in October Mrs. Gillig hired
her in Paris TO act as lady'S maid. She was
then working for Mrs. Gicbert, California
lady, with whom she had been for one year
as lady's maid.
Mrs. Gillg promised her $40 month and
many presents. she had thirteen trunks TO
take away from Paris, all full Of fine things.
She had so many things that some of the
articleswere put in the maids trunk TO have
them brought over for her, The party arrived
at Sacramento about New Years day, Mr..
and Mrs. Gillg, MIR. Unger and the maid.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Gillig gave a
theatrical performance for some children at
her house, and dressed up like an actress,
wearing a necklace with some garnets or
other stones in it.
This broke during. the performance and
Mrs. Gillig told the maid to pick the stones up
and take care of them for her. She did so
and put the broken necklace and stones in
the drawer of n bureau. Just week ago
Mrs Gillig looked through the room and
found the necklace in the bureau aud also
some clothes that she had given her to bring
over from France. She then accused her OF
having stolen them aud ordered the maid to
pack up her trunk, which she then had
placed on the sidewalk.
The accused, being a stranger in til land,
could not speak English. but while stand
ing Oh the sidewalk a lady advised her to
go to San Francisco and took her to the
cars. She came here and went to a Mrs.
Lang, a countrw0man of hers, living on
Ellis street. Yesterday she received work
with Mrs. RUthschild, at 924 Eddy street,
and there the officer found her. The young
woman denied having stolen anything from
Mrs. Glllig, and could not understand why
she should have been arrested.
