was born, in Larue county, Kentucky, has
been purchased by A. w. bennett, a
wealthy New Yorker. The price paid was

able that he will more than make his
money back during thu national Grand
Army encampment next year. While Mr..
bennett has not as yet decided what i'm
provements he will make, nor as to the
final disposition of the property it is a
settled fact that the farm will at no distant

Congressional Proceedings.

WEDNESDAY, December 5. - The senate
was in session only half an hour Mr.
Lodge introduced two resolutions which
will probably bring the Hawaiian and
Bluefields incidents before congress for com
ment or criticism. Scores of petitions were
introduced, but none of them were of pub
lie interest The house devoted the
day to fruitless discussion of the printin Z
bill.
THURSDAY Mr.. Vest attempted to take
up his co'nre resolution in the senate, but
a motion - ~ into executive session cut
the attempt short. After brief session
with closed doors, the senate adjourned till
Monday. - The house resumed consid-
Grafton of the bill to amend the int 9rstate
commerce law so as to permit railroads to
pool their business. In advocating this
measure Mr. Reed of Maine said it was a
fact that these roads had been in competi-
ton, and the question was how to get them
out of rate. cutting except by permi ting
them to make an agreement. The roads
would say they were forced to compete in
order to get business. Competition was BEN
eficial to the people to great extent; but
when it went to the extent of destroying
public facilities it was disadvantage to the
people. What the people wanted to get
was a regulation which would give them
suitable freights and not destroy institu-
tions which were valuable. Railroad COM
panies were valuable 60 community in

getting freight If freight was run down to
so low degree that the railroads were de-
stroyed or injured, they could not offer
proper facilities, and the public suffered in
that direction. The question was what was
the limit of competition. Mr.. Reed thought
that the constant demand for lower freights
had had more to do with lowering rates
than competition had. He had opposed
the law at first, but he had found that COM
bination resulted in better stations, better
trains and better transportation of every
kind
FRIDAY.-The senate was not in session,
and no business of public interest was trans
acted in the house Adjourned till Mon

with stones and daggers. The women often
took the places of the men who had been
killed. The position bec)ming untenable,
ergo left the women to defend it and took
the troops out to forage for food and ammu-

greater numbers, after being surrounded
on all sides. Their condition was te ;rible.
Many carried babies on their backs, while
the elder children stood beside them. The
women sa that they could never fight
their way through the ranks of the enemy.
Grgo's wife stepped on high rock and
cried: " Sisters, you mustschoOse between

Turks and forget your husbands, homes and
your holy religion to adopt Islam and to be
violated, or you must follow my example"
Thereupon, holding her young child in her

Others followed her, falling without cry or
groan. The children followed their moth

corpses. Those who jumped last were not
hurt, as their companions bodies were piled
high About fifty women and hundred
children were taken prisoners.

FIRM ACTION

Taken by the State Board of Agriculture
Strict Quarantine Regulations to be Es-
tablished Along the Canada Line.
THE members of the state board of agri-
culture met last Wednesday evening in the
parlors of the Van Ness House, at Burling-
ton, for organization. g. M. Winslow of
Brandon was elected secretary and V. l.
Spear of Brantree sta istical secretary.
The matter of future action in regard to tu-
berculosis, and the protection of the Ca
madam border from infected cattle, was
discussed at length. 1t was decided
to issue strict quarantine regul atoms on
the borders OF the state, to examine all
cattle brought in on the hoof, and to slaugh-
ter all found infected with tuberculosis. If
condemned cattle are found infected after
they have been killed, the state will pay
oue-half the appraisal; if not, the full
amount not to exceed $40 per head. On
the apple alton of boards of health the Sc
lectmen or six citizens of any town, the
board will inspect any herd in the state,
and place the same in quarantine, if, in
their judgment, il is necessary.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

Seven -tenths of the marriages in every
country take place between the ages Of
90 and 80.
During the last 20 years in England
there were 4.S72, 900 marriages and
d, 587 divorces.
In almost every country the greater
numHsr Of divorces is granted at the pc
tition of the wife
a Virginia wife was set free because
''the defendant does not come home an
til 10 p. u. and then keeps this plaintiff
awake talking"
A Tennessee court liberated a wife
because she defendant does not wash
himself, thereby causing the plaintiff
great mental anguish. -
In Kentucky a divorce was once
granted because the defendants came
into tns bedroom the morning after che
marriage and beat this plaintiff on thu
head with her shoe heel.
The Emperor Ti5er;us made an edics
against the marriage of men over SO
and women over so, but SO strenuous
were the objections of widows and wild
overs that the law was soon repealed
If wife in India is abandoned by her
husband, she waits eight years if he has
gone on a pilgrimage, six if he went to
study and three if he travelled for pleas
ure, and then is legally divorced and
may remarry at her pleasure.
Some states forbid marriage between
whites and full blooded negroes or In
dians. Others legalize marriage between
whites and octoroons. In one or two no
degree is mentioned, but marriage is
forbidden between a white man or wOm-
an and a s'person of color to be percep-
tible to the eye. st. Louis Globe
