to remain as tenants until they had given
OConnor the whole amount. One month
later the clerk was stricken with kidney
disease and was obliged 10 resign his posi-
ton and take to his bed. Absolute rest
and quiet was ordered by the physician.
and at times the patients life apparently
hung by hair. He has not yet recov-
cred and has had no employment since he
resigned his place at the counter. They
were unab BILE TO pay the instsllments upon
the house, and then, Mrs. Barron says, the
old landlord began to display "the bad
drop that was in him." He lay in wait for
her in dark corners, where, unseen by his
wife and her husband, he caressed her and
told of the love that was consuming his
vitals.
"Many and many time." said Mrs. Bar
ron, "he tried to kiss me, but pushed him
away, and told him to behave himself.
And he did kiss me when was toiling at

anything about it on account of his con di-

There is no blaekmail about my COM

a shameful advantage of my wife when
was unable to protect her. We have wit

will prove all that is in the complaint and
more when the case is tried"

clerk
Lovers kisses are, of course, of ines
Unable value. The "linked sweetness"
long drawn out of the first OSCILLATION given
by the bridegroom to the bride has no
place in the schedule of prices, but there
are other kind of embraces whose intrins lie
worth is not beyond the art of computa-
ton. In this case, the case which the Oak
land Judge and jury must soon decide, the
young woman's husband has furnished
some data that will doubtless be of great
assistance to the court. He estimates the
value of the kisses that were purioined
from his wife at $1,000, and he ought to
know something about 1t. If he can in
duce the jury to believe that the kisses
were really stolen 1t is possible that ne
or he and his attorneys will receive that
amount as damages.
The alleged kissor was Patrick O'Con-
nor. a retired railroad man of 500 Chester
street. Oakland. The kissee was Mrs.
Stephen Barron of 1476 Fifth street. also
in Oakland.
The complaint which was fled by Mrs.
Barron's husband in the Superior Court
yesterday sets forth, among other and
graver offenses, that on the 18th day of
August, while the said Mrs. Barron was
lying upon a sofa in the house of the said
Patrick OConnor, he, the said Pa trick
OConnOr, did wilfuly and maliciously
kiss the said Mrs. Barron; and that on the
Sd day of September. while the said Mrs.
Barron was arranging clothes. the said
Patrick O'Connor. while unobserved by
her, did stealthily, willtully aud mali

Mr. O'Connor's venerable helpmeet
smiled serenely as she thought OF the
property and the impenetrable barrier
that lay between it and the despised
Barrons.
The latter tell story that differs most
materially from the statement made by
the O'Connors. Mrs. Barron is a blonde
of the strawberry" type. She has the
reddish-brown hair, black eyes aud fair
skin that Irish novel-writers frequently
bestow upon their herones, and she is
young. She and her husband, as children,
played in the parks of Waterford in Ire
land, and when she was 10 years old they
were married and emigrated to the
United States. Mrs. Barron is q years
old now and is the mother of three chill
dren, who, like her, have reddish-brown
hair and dark eyes. Barron is several
years her senior, and has handled yard

APPEALS TO JAPAN.

King of Corea Declares Himself Inde- pendent of China.
 London, Aug. 22.-A despatch to a news agency in this city states that the King of Corea has declared himself in- dependent of the Chinese government and has appealed to Japan for assist ance to expel the Chinese from the country.
 The Central News is authority for the statement that the officers of the Ja- panese legation here deny that there has been any engagement recently, either oh laitd or at sea, between the forces of Japan and China.
 The officers declare also that the des- patch to the Standard from Berlin re- ferring to Count Ito's remarks concern ing the interest of Japan and Russia in the completion of the Siberian railway, was an invention of the Chinese em- bassy in the German capital.
 A dispatch to the Central News from Shanghai states that advices have been received there from Chemulpo to the ef- feet that some unimportant skirmishes have taken place on the great road north of Pongsan between the Chinese and Japanese forces.
 The positions of the Japanese troops are unchanged, and all the passes are strongly held by Japanese soldiers.
 A dispatch from Shanghai to the Central News says the Chinese papers contain reports of a battle near Ping yang, in which 25,O0O me1 on each side were engaged. The Chinese, the dis patch adds, claims to have defeated the Japanese force. Reliable confirmation Of the report of the engagement, how ever, is wanting.
 Ii Hung Chang has ordered the rnobi- ization of the northern, southern and central Chinese fleets in the Gulf of Pe- Chilli. ~.
 A Chinese fleet is conveying number of troop ships and coal ships from Taku to Port Arthur.
 The Japanese nobles have subscribed the sum of $SO0OO,o0o as fund to be used in the prosecution of the war. This fund draws no interest.

 ways by which babies lives may be ab- solutely insured against cholera in- fantum and the wasting disorders of hot weather. One is healthy mothers milk, and the other Is lactated food.
 In eight cases out of ten where a physician is called because the "baby is not doing well," he sees that all that is needed is a more nourishing diet, and after advising such a rich but cas- fly assimilated nutriment as lactated food the child shows right off gain in weight and color and liveliness.
 This most remarkable of all infant foods has great nourishing powers. It is made with the most scrupulous attention to purity and freedom from any source of contagion. It fills the tiny veins and arteries with ruddy, pure blood. Sound sleep follows its use, and rapid growth comes as natu- rally from a. well-fed system as sleep does when the nervous centers are properly nourished
 Sunshine is food; 1t is meat for strong men, but the very young. the aged and the feeble are wilted and worsted by the fierce heat For them as well as for mothers trying to nurse their chil- dren through the hot summer nothing so quickly and easily keeps them strong as lactated food. Every intelli- gent mother at once understands why 1t is possible for lactated food to build up the tissues so rapidly and to give strength to babies and persons with delicate stomachs when her phy- sician explains to her the simple in- gredients of this preparation-sugar of milk. and the nutritive qualities of wheat, barley and oats.
 "The weight and size, not the age Of the baby, should determine its food" says Dr. A. Siebert of the N. Y. Poli- clinic Children's Hospital. At the first indication that baby is not thriving, give it lactated food. But be sure to feed it regularly. Lactated food will plump out the cheeks of thin. pale Tipped babies and make them gain steadily in weight. For weaning ba- bies and during the teething period there is no substitute for lactated food. It resembles in every respect healthy mothers milk. It is particularly grateful to nervous. fretful children who are hungry and insuficiently nou rished, yet find their usual food dis pleasing to their weak and disturbed stomachs. h......> .A...
 Ask the first mother you talk with what she knows about lactated food. It will be hard in many communities to find a mother who has brought up a family who has not a personal know ledge of this splendid nourishment. Says Mrs. D. c. Baker of Tiff1n, O., whose baby is shown above: 5..
 we have been so we'll pleased with the use of lactated food for our baby that we feel like doing something to further the use of 1t by special recom- mendation. Our baby was very deli cate when born and weighed but three pounds. We were very soon compelled to resort to artificial food, and by the advice of Dr. H. C. Wells, our family physician, we commenced using lacta- ted food, since which time she has made a steady. healthy growth, and has never had one single day of sick ness in sixteen months. and we have never lost one hour of sleep on account of teething."
