Lynchir ga in the South.

From the Louisville COurier-JourndI (Denl)
There are more lynchings in the south than in
other portions of the United States simply be-
cause there are more negroes in the south; and
more ne 2roes than white men are lYnched sim

the negroes than among the whites. This is

young newspaper man In Washington
has earned for himself the enmity and con-

probably deserves both. For be was ex-

are made. he would probably have been

women do not fight with whips, like their

grandmother ghost did when the young
man sought to grasp her. And then came
the fun. The mortal was a flrst-rate

They engaged in catch-as-catch-can strug-

the ghost escaped into bedroom.
The hostess was outraged. She up

presumed upon her kindness to insult one of
her spirit friends. She had invited him
there to witness spiritualistic manifesto

spirit and spiritualism were frauds. She

the police court, and see what he could

And she did as she promised. In the court

Curio hunters in Washington have lately
been annoying the clerks in the document
room of the House to get complete sets of a
remarkable lot Of bills, introduced by Rep
resentative Miller for James S. Cowden. Of
Virginia. There are forty-six bills in the
lot, and when fastened together form quite
a book. One Of the bills provides for an
amendment to the constitution to change
the name of the government to THE United
States Of the Earth" the officers to be
elected and hold their offices during the
pleasure of the electors. Another provides
that the army and navy shall be abolished A;
another that the pension system shall be
done away with and a poorhouse started
under the patronage of the republic in
every county in the union, and still another
that the House and Senate shall vote bv
electricity, and that one thousandth part of
the people shall initiate all legislation. One
of the bills also provides that the wages of
everybody shall be 81 per hour, and that
they shall only work four hours day, and
that there shall be some forty odd new sec
retsries. 1t would be difficult to get to-
gether more cranky lot OF proposed legis-
lation; yet it is claimed that the originator
of the bills is a man of sound mind.

Nothing Coos ito Eat

accessories, delicacies, luxuries-all
such wort< have different meanings in
different ears and under different cir
cumstances. When Mr.. Seward was
IN Alaska, says his son, the people
were naturally very dcsirous to treat
him han dsomely.
Some amusement was occasioned at
the table, one day, by the remark of
one of the ladies that they had been
much disappointed at obtaining no
beef by the last steamer, as all were
looking for steaks.
$50 we can offer yuo nothing but the
fare ofthe country, Governor Seward
she said.
''But it is excellent" answered he.
ooh, no; we have nothing but yenl-
son, and grouse, and wild ducks, and
salmon, and trout!'
One OF the army officers remarked
that this reminded him of a mutiny
among the soldiers at Florida fort,
against being served with green turtle
soup more than once a. week.

Objected to a Cross

an extraordinary ecclesiastical case
recently came before the court at
Wells, in England. The vicar OF Eus-
ton died and was buried. and his
friends proposed to erect cross over
his grave. His successor objected,
say1ngth cross in his churchyard
would lead to idolatry, and the par
ishioners had actually to take the case
into the consistory courts in order to
convince him that crosses in church
yards are legal. What makes such
an objection the more remarka bic is
the fact that there is q multitude Of
crosses in all English cemeteries, and
an objection to them WAS never raised
before. The chancellor of Wells spoke
out strongly on the case, declaring
that there was not the slightest DOS
sible ground for experimenting any Of

LIMITED MARRIAGE,
Matrtnl ial Contract for Six
Months to Re Tested in Court.


Months to Re Tested in Court.
An interesting. yet extremely ridicu-
lous question has found it's way into
the California courts. The problem to
be solved in all seriousness by the
courts is this: rs a marriage OH the
European plan valid"' In other words,
is a contract Of marriage, stipulated to
| expire ut the end of six months or 4
year, a valid document? If the docu-
| mcnt be valid, is the. limitation good?
Does the limitation validate the con-
| tract? C:n the relations of the con-
tracing parties be legally laid aside
at the end Of the prescribed time?
Would Il child born after the limit has
| expired, and We're the contract not re-
newcd, be Il legitimate child?
1t seems impossible that in this day
such question should be seriously
raised. but as a matter Of fact there
has developed among the California law
ycl'S some difference Of opinion en- the
subject
six months ago Edward NJ E.lklls and
Lille Mabnry Of San francisco entered
into contract ito be married for a
period Of six months" A few days
oSo they again repaired to Il notary's
office and caused Il second contract to
be drawn up for another six months
The young couple maintain that they
have the advice Of good lawyers that
the contract is good. The situation is
such novel one that several reputable
lawyers have persuaded the young
couple to permit the question to be
submitted to court of adjudication
Just how to get this before the court
IS the Question. 1t can hardly be ac-
compi;shed by divorce proceedings,
neither could it be accomplished by
criminal process. Lawyers declare.
however, that they will find a way of
bringing the matter to judicial notice,
in order that the ridiculous PROPOSE
ton may be settled at once.
Some Of the best lawyers of the
state have taken an interest in the mat
ter. Many prominent citizens declare
that it is against public policy for such
question to be digrifiCd by doubt
for any length of time. On the other
hand there are a few lawyers who con-
sent to maintain the strict legality of
the terms Of the limited contract.
what must undoubtedly be the law
on the subject was cxpounded by Hen
~ ): Foster, one Of the lawyers inter-
ested. Mr.. Foster says: In the first
place. the law in this state is never
TO dissolve a marriage agreement when
to Go such would be against the public
policy. Surely no one will contend that
1t would be good policy for the state
to permit limited marriages. Once mar
rled always married is a good maxim.
II the contracting parties have as
srmed marital relations they are man
and wife, though the contract read for
day The only question is to NV
mind, did the parties assume, willingly
and honestly, the positions of husband
and wife towards each other? The lin.
ltation clause is simply null"

She Made the Train Lighter by Bear
ing up.
\ London journal says that astout
and elderly woman was on board
train which was approaching the Forth
bridge. Her remarks, which she be-
slowed right and left upon her fellow
passengers, showed that she was I'M
accustomed to travelling; yet she
must have been something of a philos-
opher in her own way. AS the reader
will perceive, she was a. believer in
what may be called specific levity.
The old lady was nervous about the
bridge. She had seen pictures of it,
and made up her mind that it could
not be quite safe. She kept inquu'-
Ing when the train would come to it
and at last was told it was close at
hand.
"Well," said she, rather solemnly,
81 don't know whether we shall get
over alive or not, but if we don't it
sha'n't be my fault.
Than she settled into the corner OF
the seat with determined air and
puckered-up mouth, which were only
less droll than the general air of re-
sponslbllity which brooded over her.
During the passage of the bridge she
dld not speak a word but seemed to
be holding her breath.
."!here," said a gentleman in
nelghboring seat: eve are overit safe"
The old woman heaved an explosive
sigh.
We'll" she said, "If we had gone to
the bottom I should have died with a
clear conscience, for it wouldn't have
been my weight that did it. I bore
up so that I really made the train
lighter than it would have been With.
