Civil Marriage In Hungary.

The ecclesiastical struggle in Hunga-
ry prccipitated by Premier Wclicrlo is
beginning to attract attention all over
Europe. The premier is endcavoring to
force the passage Of bill making o.
civil marriage sufficient i'm law; and tho
bishops arc nnited in opposing him.
The latter have issued manifcstoes pro-
testing against the proposed law
on the ground that it is con-
trary to the law of God, and they
have called upon the representa-
tivcs, whose of1icial acts they arc su D.,
posed TO greatly influence if not con-
troll to vote against tho measure The
fate of the bill is uncertain. 1t will
doubtless be passed by the lower
branch of tho legislature, but may be
defeated by the upper branch. This,
struggle has called attention to The fact
that i'll all other continental countries
the civil marriage is recognized az le-
gal, and that in France, where tho
church fought so bitterly to prcscrvu
oil of It's rights and privileges, tho civil
marriage is now the only legal one, tho
rcliGions ceremony being regarded only
rs profession of faith.

FOR HIGH AIR SOUNDtNGS>

n FrcnchInan Has invented n Balloon for.
Making Meteorological Observations.
The employment of free balloons for
meteorological observations at very
great heights has long been discussed,
but hitherto with little practical result,
because as yet no balloon suitable for
this purpose has been devised NJ. Ch.
kcnard, French scientist, however,
has just presented to the Paris academy
design for such 4 balloon which prom
iscs to be Il success.
His proposed miniature vessel for
sounding the atmosphere, according to
the New York Herald, is supplied with
very light self-recording barometer
and sclf-recording thermometer, partly
made of aluminium, each weighing less
than five pounds. TO prevent dcranpe-
ment OF the registering apparatus upon
tic fall of the balloon he provides each
instrument with an elastic guard so
effective that the clockworlz of the in
strument is not interrupted by the
shock of the fall. The total weight,
instruments included, does not exceed
twcnty-onc pounds avoirdupois.
If found to- work satisfactorily this
simple and apparently cheap device
will marl'a new era in meteoroIogy. At
present mcteorologists know but little
more by direct instrumental gauging of
the upper atmosphere than the fauna
lnhabiting the floor of the Atlantic
know Of the gulf stream and its asso-
ciate surface currents.

Proud In His Poverty.

There is a movement on foot to relieve
the home of the late General Kirby
Smith of a mortgage that rested upon it
at the time of his death. 1t is a most
worthy object, and we hope and are
sure that the response will be ready and
generous. General Smith lived and died
poor man. He was one of the most
scrupulously honorable men that ever
lived, and was too proud in his poverty
to ask or accept pecuniary aid.-Mem-

shows truthfully and upon scale Of
grandeur never before attempted, a
magnificent bird 's-eye view of the

at its height.

Talk 81 ChaaLirg the Henuepin Canal
Rou for the Better.
\ representative of the Geneseo
Republic recently had an interview
with James {. l.ong. of the Hennepin
canal engineering force, and j. W.
Truss. Jr.. field engineer. just be-
fore the headquarters Of the survey
ing party were moved to CJlona.
They informed him that the line of
the canal hal been located and
adopted from the Illinois river to the
junction with the feeder from Dixon,
a point about three miles due north
of Sheffield. Contracts are now be-
ing made for purchase of the right OF
way from the river to that point.
Their work in that county for the
present is the running of preliminary
lines in order, ii possible, to secure a
better route than the proposed one
by way of Penny slough and Rock
river They leave the old survey
near the Dixon feeder, keeping south
of Green river til they reach section
:. Atkinson township, crossing on
Asa Crooks land just aoove the
mouth of Spring creek and entering
Geneseo on Lar, Peterson's land in
section L. They are running alo"g
down the Green river bottoms and
will strike the river near Colona.
This completes hei" work so far a.

views viii be submitted to Capt W

devolvc the final adoption of the
line. 1t j. believed that the line
they are running i preferable to the
Penny slough route. Mr.. Truss
says there i really but one heavy

Illinois river to Rock river. that be-
ing the cut through a spur OF the
ridge that the c.. r. I. Il p cuts

Suicide i'm a Chasn.

On Monday last Joseph Lambert,
aged between fifty-fve and sixty years,
who had been suffering for some time
past from alteration of the mind, dis
appeared from Locust Grove, Washing
ton county, Md, where he had for
wears been living in n one-room house.
Failing to return Monday night u
searching party was formed Tuesday
morning. About ten o'clock three Of
the searchers came to white Rock,
on the very summit ofSouth Mountain,
about five miles southwest of Middle
town, and on peering over the edge of
the steep precipice, on the Middletown
Valley side, were Mortified upon seeing
the dead body of Lambert lying on the
rocks, forty feet below. A path leads
down into the valley, on either side ofthc
rock. and by this means the body was
reached. Upon arriving where the body
lay, it was found that the top of Lam
bert's head was split open, and a
portion Of his brains had ooZed out soft
hat which he wore was cut clean across III"
top Justice Harms of Burl;ittsville, that
valley. was notified. and ajury of inquest
was summoned. After hearing all the evil
dcncc possible in the ease, they rendered 4
verdict that Lambert had committed suicide
by lcaping from the rock head foremost. The
body was removed to the home OF the de-
ceased at Locu-t Grove. Two brothers of
the unfortunate man reside near Locust
Grove. but the deceased always preferred
living alone and was cared for by the neigh
bors. who kept him in food. A few months
ago be set his house on fire. and was severely
burned before he would permit the neigh
bors to extinguish the flames. Soon after he
was sent to Iagerstown for treatment. and
y week or two ago he was sent back HON,
cured, as it was thought. A day or two be-
fore he made the fatal leap from the rock. he
attempted to cut his throat with butcher
knit.
