Fargo, N. D., Dee 4.-The Hirshfield
case is ended, and the yonng bride of
the Montana millionaire has been de-
clared by a court of equity to be q
legal wife. Judge Mcconnell gave the
decision denying the application of
Aaron Hirshfeld for the annulment of
the marriage contract at the conclus-

cision was given orally, the court stat

plaintiffs claim, he said, that two
armed men forced him to accompany

Of the peace, where they were married
under duress, must be substantiated SO
clearly that there was little room for
doubt or it must be shown that the
plaintiffs mental condition was such
that he was incapable of making a
contract. The first proposition he did
not think was clearly sustained. He
believed Aaron Hirshfield was a
changed man, but not to the extent
that he could be held to be irresp0nsi-
BILE. He had taken careful note of the
evidence; had followed each witness
closely, and was confident he had lost
no point that would be of benefit to
the plaintiff, and saw no other way in
justice than to hold the marriage con-
tract valid and deny a decree.
When the judge commenced to de-
liver his decision the silence was pro-
found. The spectators leaned for

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 15.-The now
Louisville Jockey club is out with it's
fret announcement regarding stakes.
From its first entry blsnks sent out to-
day. it will be seen that number of
radical changes have been made in the
classic stakes OF Kentucky. The Ken
tucky Derby, for instance. for 20 years q
mile and a half, and once the greatest
stake in America, has been reduced to g
mile and quarter. The Clark stakes
and Kentucky Oaks. both equally as
old as the Derby, have also been re-
duced, the former to o mile and an
eighth and the latter to q mile and
q sixteenth. But while the distances
have been reduced, the value of
each have been increased. The derby
10 now guaranteed to be worth $4,000 in
cash. the forfeit system having been
abolished. All its stakes hereafter, the
new jockey club announces, will be
guaranteed, and mono of less than $4,000
cash value. The reduction in the Ken
lucky derby distance was q necessity.
according to the statement of Secretary
Price. The conditions of the turf, he
says, have changed. Turfmen no longer
train their 3.year-olds to 20 q mile and a
half in the early spring. In the sum-
NOR, with the present methods prevail
ing. it does not hurt the colt q great
deal, il any, but such . race in the

That Il tho Question That IL Worrying
the Ladies'.
Recently there has been much discus
sion as to the modesty or immodesty of
bicycling for women. Miss Kate Field
says OF the subject:
'Do consider cycling immodest? To
do SO would be to insult some of the
most respectable women in Washington,
whore cycling is much more common for
my sex than riding on horseback.
ITO me the question, from d moral
point Of view, is perfectly ridiculous"
Here are the opinions OF Miss Frances
e. willard:
''The health and happiness OF homo
depends SO largely on the health and
happiness OF the wife and mother that
in the interest of humanity 1 have al.
ways earnestly desired that women
might enjoy more outdoor exercise. This
tho bicycle affords in a manner so
agreeable that TO debsr them from it's
use would be an injustice of which this
liberal. minded age and nation are in
capable.
''As to the costume, It seems to me
that q street dress simply made and
falling to the ankles meets the oondi-
tions Of utility, comfort and good taste" 4"
