A Queer Mistake.

A reporter in Sherman, Mich, pub
!ished an item announcing an ap-
preaching wedding, and the next day
was accosted by the gentleman named
as bridegroom, who gravely asked him
on whose authority he had made the
announcement. Before the tinid re.
porter could reply, he man CROPPED for
his pistol-pocket, and the reporter
thought his hour Of doom had come.
Imagine his Joy, when, instead OF q
pistol, man produced a pocketbook,
from which he extracted iye-dollaf
bill This he thankfully gave to the
reporter saying that the marriage an.
nouncement had spared him the trouble
az popping the question. 4 81

s S French travellers, when describing the
moral and social aspects Of England,
rarely forget, says Notes and Queries,
to inform their readers that it is
customary in this country for men to
sell their wives, like any ordinary
schattel, in open market-a fact for fact
It appears to bel that we one and all
repudiate. The following paragraph
appeared in the Washington Journal
recently.
"a WIFE SOLD IN HALTER. -On
Monday, at Wakefield, in a case in
which Samuel Eccles, a miner Of Aller-
ton-By-W alter, was summoned for the
maintenance of his child, it was stated
that defendant and his wife had been
separated since June, 1887, and that the
woman was sold in halter in the
Borough market hotel, Wakefield, for
half guinea, and went away with an
other man."
AS pendant to this transcribe the
following account from the Lady's
Magazine for 1916:
''SM1THF1ELD BARGAIN.-One of those
scenes which occasionally disgrace
even Smithfeld, took place lately there
namely, man exposing his wife for
sale. Hitherto we have only seen those
moving in the lower classes of society
thus degrading themselves, but the
present exhibition was attended with
some novel circumstances. The parties,
buyer and seller, were persons OF
property. The lady (the object of sale),
young, beautiful and elegantly dressed,
was brought to the market in a coach
and exposed to the view of her
purchaser, with silk halter round her
shoulders, which were covered with
rich white lace veil The price de-
manded for her in the first instance
was eighty guineas, but that finally
agreed on was fifty guineas and valu-
able horse upon which the purchaser
was mounted. The sale and delivery
being complete, the lady, with her new
lord and master, mounted u handsome
curricle which was waiting for them
and drove Off, seemingly nothing 10th

case is o. celebrated horse dealer In

bargains is to deprive the husband OF

EX-KENTUCKIAN DEAD.
Death of Capt. M. a. DeIIO-
ney at Atlanta, Ga, i'm
His Sixty-Eigth
Year.

ATLANTA, GA, Nov. S.--Capt M. A
Dehoney died to-day in the sixty
eigth year Of his age. Capt. Dehoney
was born in Kentucky, where on at
tanning manhood he became Sheriff
of Scott county. He was a devoted
adherent of the Hon. John @. Brock
inridge, and on the election of the
latter to the Vice Presidency in
1866, Sheriff Dehoney became a
Deputy United States Marshal for
Kentucky. For his service he never
received a cent Of pay, and it was be-
cause of an agitation in his interest
that Senator Powell was expelled
from the Senate during the war
Capt. Dehoney raised a company for
the regiment of Col. Russ Butler,
and served during the war. At it's
close he went into business in Au-
gusta, Ga, and brought to the city
his young nephew, j. F. @. Black,
who has since achieved fame. He
lost 81 900, 900, loaned out in one sea-
son. After his removal to Savannah
he still made friends, and while there
he received the last autograph let
ter to which Gen. Lee ever signed his
name. Several years ago Capt. De-
where he took charge of the Del
monico Hotel. Two years ago he re-
tired from business.
The above dispatch was clipped from
the Courier-Journal of Monday. Capt.
Dehoney formerly lived near White
Sulphur, Scott county, was a cousin
of Mr.. w. s. Dehoney, of this city,
and has many friends and relatives
in this county.
The correspondent of the Courier
Journal is mistaken in saying that
Gov. Powell was expelled from the
United States Senate for advocating
Capt. Dehoney's claim, for he was
never expelled from that body, but
served out his term.

LIES, PURE AND SIMPLE.
A Louisville Ananias in the
Field Early.

1t is usual for the jack ships who
shove pencils for Louisville dailies to
wait until the Legislature meets, be-
fore they begin to manufacture new
lies, or rehash the old ones which
been told every two years for ages past
about Frankfort and her hotels, but
the Louisville Commercial of Thurs
day gets in ahead of time with a
string of yarns so ancient that their
,whiskers have grown and been toyed
with by the winds of half a century
past. The youth who cut the article
from an old file of the Commercial
simply gave it an air of newness by
fitting in a reference or two to the
action of the Constitutional Conven-
ton in locating the Capital here and
fired it off as original matter.
The same old gag of interviewing
member of the next Legislature,
who had been here to secure board
for the winter, is worked off, and the
honorable gentlemen from Way
back county is made to do the lying
for the reporter about trust having
been formed in this city by the board
ing-house keepers and the price of
board unalterably fixed at $15 per
week.
There is not word of truth in the
whole article. No member of the
Legislature has been to either of the
hotels to secure board, several have
written to the hotel proprietors but
none have come in person. We are
informed by the proprietors of both
the Capital and Kenyon that their
rates will be exactly the same that
they have always been; and as for the
"trust' having been formed by the
clearinghouse keepers to force the
price of board up to $15 per week,
that is such preposterous statement
that even the fellow who wrote it for
the Commercial does not believe it
himself

A little girl of Mr.. A. d. Brown
while at play on Monday afternoon
was so unfortunate as to fracture her
ankle bone, but we are glad to say
the little sufferer is doing well.

notable only for the low price OF

from 81 to $35, and other things in
proportion.
The sale of A. ID. Brown, ESQ.,, on

Saturday, owing to the very heavy
rain fall throughout the day.

Irish potato, raised on his place,
which is ten potatoes in one. The
different parts are joined together in
such a manner as to give it very

inches long, and from one point to
another of the projections it is six
inches across.

THE uLINOIS JURmEE.

The great jubilee over the election of
the Illinois senator is to take place to-
day at Springfield. and is to be state
and interstate affair. if the apparent
expectations of the programme makers
are met, there will be governors and
nOtables from dozen states there, with
clubs from a wide area. and a Job of
political painting done that has had no
recent precedent in the West. This
prolonged eXultation seems to be a
spontaneous demand for the relief of
the overcharged lungs rather than an
effort to prolong the misery on the
other side, or promote any political OBJ
ject. It's about thirty years since there
has been such a chance in that state,
some excess may be tolerated. Then,
it is apparent that an epidemic is be-
ing started in favor of the popular
method of electng senators.

FUGITIVES FROM JUSTICE.
The Department of State Issues q
Bulletin Regarding Detention.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The de-
partment of state has Issued a bulletin
in regard to the provisional detention of
fugitives from justice in Great Britain,
of which the following is copy:
department of State, Washington,
d. c., March II, 1S91.-The minister of
the United States i'll London informs the
department that inquiries are frequently
made at the legation by officers of the
London police who have received tele-
grams from police authorities or detect
i've agencies in the United States asking
for the arrest and detention of alleged
fugitiyeS from justice. In Great Britain
provisional warrant of arrest of a
fugitive from justice may be obtained
from a Judicial magistrate, but it is re-
quired that the application for the war
rant shall have the sanction of the for
eign government. When. therefore, the
London police receive such a telegram
as has been described, they at once ap-
ply to the minister of the United States
to ascertain whether he will authorize
proceedings before a magistrate to be
taken.
Ministers of the United States are
not authorized to request or to sanction
requests for the arrests of fugitiyes
from justice, without the instructions of
this department. When, therefore, the
minister of the United States in Lon
don is asked to sanction a complaint be-
fore magistrate, based upon a request
made by police authorities or detective
agencies in this country, he is obliged
to refuse. The proper course in such
cases is for the authorities of the
district in which the offense was COM
mitted to apply to the governor Ct the
state in which such district is Situated,
through whom the application for the
intervention of the United States or its
representatives must come. The only
exception to this rule is the city and
county of New York. the prosecuting
attorney of which is permitted to apply
for provisional detention directly to
this department, although the formal
application for reQuiSition for sur
render must come through the governor
of the state.
In applying to this department to Sc
cure the provisional detention of the
fugitive in Great Britain, the charge of
crime must be briefly and clearly stated.
and. unless there is some witness in
Great Britain to identify the fugitive,
the description Of him should be fur
nished either to this department or to
the London police. A positive assur-
ance must also be given to this depart
ment that warrant has been Issued for
his arrest at the place Wnere the crime
