MARRIAGE BETWEEN WOMEN.-TLe
legal world of London is much excl
cised over the complications likely o
ensue from revelations made in trial
which has just been had before Dir.
Justice Chitty. 1t appears that in a
marriage contracted in 1865, and which,
up to the present time, was thought
valid, both parties were women. In
the year mentioned, Mrs. Rachel Eliza
beth Cullener, widow, was harasscd
by creditors, who wanted to arrest her
and attach the income she derived from
the will of her husband. This income,
by the will, sho would lose if she mar
ricd again. She had living with her a
Sophia Newland, Il cousin of Mrs. Cul-
lener's late husband. The whole fam-
ly was suffering for want of food, when
it was suggested by the daughter that
her mother marry again, alter which
her children would collect the income
and support her. 1t was difficult TO
tiud a husband who could he trusted.
SO Mrs. Cullener, in mans clothes, un-
der the name of James Stanley, was
married in due form to Miss Sophia
Newland, who, at the marriage cere-
mony, took the name of Mrs Cullener.
Both signed their borrowed names. III
ther register of the parish, and Miss
Newland lived with Mrs. Cullener until
1883. Both have testified on the trial
to the facts here narrated Mr. Justice
Chitty refused TO believe the witnesses,
and dismissed the case, holding that a
woman who has, by her own admission,
been for years "steeped in fraud" has
no right to complain ii the courts de-
cline to believe her when she comes
forward in her own interest to impeach
solemn entry in marriage register,
the accuracy of a recital in deed to
which she was herself q party, and the
plain intent and meaning of the course
of conduct which she has pursued

Building and Loan Associations.

Building and loan associations have
become very popular in late years and
have been the means Of teaching people
of moderate means lessons in economy
and enabling them to become owners o
their homes instead of paying rent
Directed and managed with business
prudence, they are great factors in pro-
noting the growth and adding to the
wealth of a town or city. No sooner
were their usefulness and popularity
seized upon by spectators throughout
the country, and so-called national as
sociations sprang up thicker than mush-
rooms after on autumn rain,
The conservative and safe methods OF
the local associations were improved up
on to such an extent that, according 10
prospectuses Of the nationals" the
money of the investor would double
and trebble itself in an incredible short
time, while the borrower could procure
loans at rates that were much more
liberal, and the payments great deal
easier to meet than those of his home
organization. And they produced fig
ures to prove it, too. But practical ex-
perience has proved to the investor
that figures lie on some occasions.
Hundreds of these corporations have
gone to the wall in the past few years,
entailing the loss Of thousands Of dol
lars to those who could i'll afford TO
stand IT, Yet there are still many
more in existence, some of them iinan-
cially sound, it is true, which are an
nually taking thousands of dollars out
of the community where it belongs and
wasting it elsewhere, These compa-
MES have been we'll named erich mems
companies They are promoted and
fostered by capitalists, who use the
monthly stipend of the workingman
and man of moderate means to aug,
ment their own bank account.
Saying nothing of local plide and the
advantage to be gained by keepirg
ones savings in his own community,
business sense should teach any one
that these expensively conducted COM
panies, with their costly payroll. can
not honestly offer the inducements for
safe investment that the local associa
ton, with its economical methods of
management, can.-Chalottesr3le Pro-

SURGERY SroPs H1ccouGns.-An
operation, which it is thought will stop
the incessaut hiccoughs OF John Car
berry, was performed at Newark \. j..
Yesterday. Two specialists removed,
through IN aperture cut in the chin. the
dental branch of the inferior maxillary
nerve. The cutting caused little pain,
aud it was not found necessary to put
the patient under anrsthetics. Car
berry did not hiccough after the opera
ton. The nerve was removed on the
theory that by interrupting the COM
munication between the brain and the
diaphragm the irritation would cease.
