Among the Pugilists.

There is a strong belief that Sullivan
will be compelled to fight Slavin, al
though he declares that he has retired
from the ring, and will devote the re-
mainder of his life to theatrical work.
Slavin visited him in st. Louis and
formally issued a challenge in person,
which has not been accepted by John.

Some friends of COrbett boldly assert
that the stories of Jackson's illness and

MuCh-A bused Mrs. Blaine.

The arrival of Mrs James G. Blaine,
jr., in Sioux Falls, S. Oak, as an
nounced by Geographic dispatches, is to
the minds of those who know the cir
cumstances connected with her depart
ure from New York, an additional evil
dence of the long suffering patience of
that much-abused young woman. The
press dispatches now reveal what has
for some time been known to her friends
in New York, that the unconcealed pur-
pose of her removal to Sioux Falls is to
obtain a divorce from her husband,
James q. Blaine, ir., who hobnobbed
with the Prince Of Wales last week, but
who has never contributed to the sup
port of his wife and child. The circum-
stances connected with this step, which
rebound so greatly to young Mrs.
Blaine's credit, are connected with the
fact that she has long since been put in
possession of evidence which would
have entitled her indisputabIy to d.
vorce under the laws of the state of
New York, had she not declined to put
forward such an unpleasant condition of
things against the young person whose
name she bears.

AUSTIN, H., May 10.-The fatalism of

Alfred Tousley, who was generally ac-

accident that his identity was discov-
cred. As soon as his wife learned of his
whereabouts she repaired to the prison
and by Stimulating sympathy and humil-
lation, gained admission to his cell. As
soon as she entered the cell she pulled
revolver and shot her husband as cOollv
as though shooting at an inanimate tar
get. She has shown not the least COM
junction. Much sympathy is felt for
Mrs. Tousley and her daughter.

What Are We Coming to?

The English paterfamilias is fairly
gasping with excitement Hitherto he
has looked upon himself as the lord of
the household, the petty tyrant before
whose iron will women and children
should bow, the absolute owner of his
wife.
English common law made the wife
subject to the husband. To be sure, she
had certain immunities. Her husband
could not put her to death nor starve
her. AS to whether he could beat her,
authorities differ. In Charles II. S time
it was laid down that he could not, "for
the wife may swear the peace against
him." But in later times this view was
overruled. Lord Mansfield held that
husband may keep his wife "by force
within the bounds of her duty, and may
beat her, but not in a violent manner"
Lord Coleridge decided that a hus-
band has right to restrain a wife of
her liberty if she manifests an inclina-
ton to renounce her marital duties.
All these gallant and chivalric decis-
ions have been reversed by the English
court of appeals. In the suit which
Mrs. E. H. Jackson brought against her
husband for forcible detention in his
own house, the court lays down the rule
that a wife is mistress of her own per-
son. If she chooses to leave her hus-
band the moment after the marriage
has been celebrated, or at any other
time, she may do so. The husband has
no redress.
No English subject, in fact" said
Lord Halsbury, 'has the right to i'm
prison any other subject wbois sui iuris,
whether she be wife or anybody else"
All contrary decisions of the past he
lightly dismissed as "quaint, and even
absurd"
A storm of disapproval has arisen.
Paterfamilias is deluging the papers
with protests. Bachelors are swearing
that they will never marry. Even the
British matron, an absurdly conven-
tional old lady, is loud in her indigna-
ton.
But the dear little English maiden is
in state of quiet delight.

The Hygiene of a Smile.

When in the midst of LIES hurry and
worry we meet a smiling face, it seems a
perfect God-send; and we sometimes
think, when seeing how much suffering
and woe there is in the world that if we
would each of us smile more life would
be so much easier to live for all of us, for
a sunny face sweetens both outside and
in, both the owner and the beholder
The trouble with us is that when we
take the pains to smile we think as a
general thing that we are doing it solely
for somebody's else benefit, while if We
did but know it, it is life and health
and peace" to ourselves in MANY wavs.

sensation of the week is the promised
importation of 10000 workmen, mostly
negroes and Italians The operators
have little to say except that they must
run their plants somehow, while citizens
generally are indignant that skilled la
Dor seems about to be driven from the
field by this threatened invasion OF bv
no means desirable laborers. Some 600
evictions will be made this week to
make room for the new men coming into

labor leaders and socialists, and advised
the men to return to work.

Ladies' To Learn to Shoot.

Skill with the pistol is by no means as
common among gentlemen nowadays as
it was when the duello was recognized
as a law Of polite society, but there are a
great many Spokanites who, when they
feel so disposed, can hit swinging bull
let across a room with their own private,
particular weapons, and there not an in
considera bic number of ladies whose ex-
pertness with this and with other pieces
generally devoted to the use of men is
interesting.
The Marguise de Mores was a New
York girl, who learned to shoot the pis-
toll in her fathers house, and afterwards
on her husbands ranch in Montana de-
veloped with both pistol and rifle GER
tainty of aim and frmness of nerve
which euabled her to fill game bag
almost as quickly and as surely as her
husband. There is some talk here of
starting woman's pistol club, with the
Interior object of familiarizing our
wives and daughters with the use of a
weapon which they may be called upon
at some time or another to use to defend
themselves against burglars.

be to cause the government to defer the

for them. The postponement can hardly
be beyond autumn, however, and the
tories declare that Scarborough is not of
vital significance.

The notion that the United States is

These Are Good Judges.

KANSAS CITY, May 12.-There is
trouble in the execution of the recent
bonds in the cases against Cass and St.
Clair counties. 1t grows out of the re-
fusal of the judges of the county court to
levy taxes for the payment of these
judgments. The judges of each county
announced their determination to 90 to
jail rather than order the tax on the
people. There are two judgments
against st. Clair county, one in favor of
B. ID. Stewart and the other in favor the
Ninth National bank of New York. ag-
gregating over 100000. When Deputy
Marshal Oechsly served the papers on
the judges yesterday they told him thew
would never order the tax; that thew
had been elected under a promise to the
people never to levy a tax for the pay
ment of these bonds, and that they were
not only indisposed to do it, but were
afraid to. The condition of affairs in
Cass county is even more desperate.
Judgment was rendered some time ago
in favor of Albert Parker, a capitalist OF
San Diego, California, for about $780,
600. A mandamus ordering a levy of
taxes was granted by the court and dis
regarded. Three judges were arrested
and gave bonds in the sum of 81 900 to
appear before the court in Kansas CITY
on the second Monday in June. The
bonds are railroad bonds issued by the
counties twenty years ago.
