SAN Francisco, June 20.-The Brit
ish bark Inveruie, Capt. Wilcox.
arrived to-day, sixty-four days from
New Castle, n. S. W., with most re-
markable story of mutiny and crime.
Just before this vessel left New Castle
a man calling himself DIR. Armitage
applied for passage for himself and
wife to San Francisco. Capt. Wilcox
gladly took them on board, as his wife
needed the services of a physician.
About two weeks ago at sea Mrs.
Wilcox gave birth to a child and Ar.
mitage officiated as surgeon. He used
instruments in such a manner that the
child died, and the captain, seeing he
was unskilled, ordered him away from
his wife.
Armitage appealed to the crew, tell.
ing them that the captain was killing
his wife. The crew, led by the mate.
mutinied, and the captain, after being
drugged, was locked up. He managed
to get out just in time to see his wife
die. Several times he was imprisoned
by the crew, but he managed to break
out.
Armitage's real name is Eustace Al.
exander. He is said to have deserted
his wife and baby in Sydney, and fled
to New Castle with another woman
where he Joined the Inveruie. The
bark, crew, and passengers are now in
custody of the port warden, and the
police made arrests yesterday after
noon.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Ceremonies as They Are Enacted in Various
Parts of the World.


Parts of the World.
To eat maize pudding from the same
plate, or to eat in any way together, is
a widely-distributed marriage cere-
mony. In Brazil couple may be mar
ried by drinking brandy together; in
Japan, by SO many cups of wine; in
Russia and Scandinavia it used to be
one cup for both. The joining of
hands among the Romans and Hindus
is common to many parts of the world.
In Scotland it is called hand fasting"
and couples live together after. To
sit together on seat while receiving
friends, or to have the hands of each
tied together with grass, or to smear
with each others blood, or for the
woman to tie a cord of her own twist
ing around the naked waist of the man.
constitutes marriage in one part or an
other.
In Australia woman carries fire to
her lovers hut, and makes a fire for
him. In America she lays bundle of
rods at the door of his tent. A Loango
negreSs cooks two dishes for him in his
own hut. In Croatia the bridegroom
boxes the brides ears, and in Russia
the father formerly struck his daugh-
ter gently wish new whip-for the
last time-and then gave the weapon
60 her husband. Down to the present,
it is a custom in Hungary for the groom
to give the bride kick after the mar
riage ceremony, to make her feel her
subsection. Even with all civilized
peoples the servitude of the bride is
clearly indicated. - Westminster Re-

THE WELSH "siDDING."
An Old Country Custom Practiced in q New
England Colony.

An Old Country Custom Practiced in q New
England Colony.
There is an interesting survival in
portions of New England of a very pc
culiar Welsh marriage custom of great
antiquity" said Clement Euclid, of
Boston. 1.-The Welsh are not of
wandering or emigrating disposition,
but some few of them formed colonies
in some of our oldest states, and their
descendants have not forgotten the ira
ditions OF old. The marriage custom
consists in sending out a number of
biddings to a wedding, coupled with
request for a specified present. The re-
suit is the young couple in humble cir
stances can start housekeeping with
the certainty that their wedding gifts
will assume useful proportions Every
gift is in reality a loan, because the ac-
ceptance obligates the young couple to
respond to similar application from
each of the persons hidden or solicited
In other words, this good old Welsh
custom amounts very much to tax on
single blessedness, and also an insur-
ance, payable not on death but on mar
riage. In Welsh towns, where the
practice is general, it is most beneficial
in its results, and among the New En-
gland colony it is quite pleasant lit
tie diversion, even though the matri-
monial clubs are not very strong in
America. st. Louis Globe-D eroocraLt-

Filed Against Gov. Lewelling and Others
for Allowing Liquor to Be Sold.
ATCHIsoN, Kan, June 20.-A suit for
$1,000 was fled in the district court
here yesterday afternoon against Gov.
Lewelling, Mayor Cloyes and the police
commissioners of Atchison. The suit
is in favor of the 12-year-old daughter
of Bert Phelps, who alleges that by
reason of these officials failing to do
their duty in suppressing Joints her
father has been a drunkard, and that
she has not been provided for as she
would have otherwise. The mother of
the child brought similar action
against the city and county for $4,000
several days ago. 1t is alleged in the
action just begun that Gov. Lewel1ing
and the other officials knew that
whisky was being sold here contrary
to law, yet they permitted it, simply
because the saloon men paid consider
able money for the privilege. The at
torney in the case says that the matter
will be taken to the last court if neces-

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well Informed, you viii not
accept any substitute if offered

Marshal Shot.

WAGNER, 1. T., June 2G--Last Sun
day a party of United States marshals
and the Cook brothers, noted horse
thieves and desperadoes, had an en-
gagement about II miles east of here.
1t was rumored that the Cooks were in
hiding near Dick Crittenden's place,
awaiting his return from Tahlequah to
kill and rob him. He hurriedly started
to the place with seven armed men,
