MARRIAGES OF HISTORIC IMPORT

The marriage of Bertha with Ethelbert of
Kent prepared the way for the conversion of
England to Christianity. The marriage Of
Henry VIII. with Anne Boleyn was one of
the chief factors which determined the Re
formation. The marriage Of Emma of Nor
mandy with Ethelred the Unready gave the
Conquerer an excuse of asserting his claim
to the throne of England. The mar
riage of Henry L with Matilda of
Scotland reconciled the people to the
conquest by restoring the line Of
Clerdic. The marriage of Henry II. with
Eleanor of Aquitaine made England the first
continental power in Western Europe and
thus produced the long struggle with France.
The marriage of Henry VII. with Elizabeth
of York closed the war of Roses. The mar
riage of Henry Wis daughter Margaret
with James l. led to the union between
England and Scotland. The marriage of
Mary, James LIS daughter, with William
of Orange gave direction to the Revolution
of 1888. The marriage of Sophia with the
Elector of Hanover gave us Kings with Ger
man interests, and consequently again in
volved US in continental struggles. Neac

NEW BRITISH PREMIER.

Lord Roseberry seems to have been sue
cessful in attaining almost everything that
he has ever esired. He has now attained
the highest position in the gift of the sover-
eign, as representing the popular will. He
had already won the blue ribbon of the turf
the Derby-and the blue ribbon of Knight
hood-the Garter He married the greatest
heiress in Englsnd he has controlled the
foreign affairs of his country and empire;
he has now succeeded the greatest leader in
moo ern English history. Lord Roseberys
policy in general way, his principles in
broad outline, may be not inadequately por-
trayed by his own eloquent words at Birm-
ingham ON May 26, 1892 =
'sNever was the power of the British En-
pire so great as it is now. 1t stretches away
into space, calm with the sleeping strength
of a summer sea- But what is the real es-
sence-what is the secret OF that powers 1t
is not in fleets or in armies, or even In your
treasures or your population Its essence,
its inspiration. its base, is in equal liberty
and in equal justice. ."-Apfit Forann.

VIGILANTEs KILL A MAN.

WICHITA, Kan, April 90, 1894. THE story
of fight with Daltons is discredited here
and in Oklahoma. A fight did occur Tues
day morning, when body of men supposed
to be vigilantes surrounded the rancho of
Bruce Miller, in Creek county, some twenty
miles northwest of Saltwater, Oklahoma,
and when A. L. Miller, his brother, Bruce
and hired man named Dutch Jim appeared
in answer to their summons all three were
fired at Dutch Jim was killed and the
others wounded. A ball which entered the
house also wounded a little child. The Mil
lers quickly re-entered the house, and for
two days they were besieged by the alleged
vigilantes The inmates finally managed to
escape under cover of darkness Wednesday
night, and the invaders yesterday morning
burned down all the rancho buildings and
destroyed the property they could find. The
Millers are said to be bad characters and to
have been ordered to leave the country.
Both are dangerously wounded.

Cried For Forgiveness.

their little one year old child by the head
and threatened to dash its brains out If she
didn't go home to her mother and take the
''kidp with her. When the judge asked the
accused what he had to say, he began to
cry.
ssYour honor-plead for me to my wife,
and beg her'to give me another chance. Oh,
God, spare me from prisonr it will kin me
and my parents" he blubbered.
His wife told the judge, that she knew him
better than anyone else, and that his crying
and pleading for forgiveness was an old
trick When she had finished speaking he
blubbered OUT
sGh, Gussie, Gussie, for Gods sake Gussie,
do not send me to prison Oh. oh, ohl'
The Judge held him in 500 bonds to keep
the peace When asked if he had anyone

zoLA's APPEARANCE.

The general opinion about Zola's appear
ance is, with those who have never seen him,
that he is burly man, stout, slow and
sensual. The first sight of him is even a
greater surprise than the first examination
of his abode. A small, thin man, nervous in
manner, with terrible wrinkles all over his
face, he looks like an ascetic, man of sor-
row. It is only when speaking on any sub
pale and careworn face lights up, that his re-
markable eyes flash fire, and the inner man
betrays himself through its Insignificant en-
velope. When he sits talking, his invariable
attitude is with the right leg thrown over
conversation he jerks his foot from left to
right and back again in rapid motion. He
has quiet, deep voice, but is constantly
troubled with nervous cough, and soon
shows signs of fatigue. He speaks at an ex-
traordinary speed and without hesitation, no
matter what the subject may be.--HcC Ciige's

FRENCH WIDOWS.
They DO Not Abdicate Their Rights
as the Head of the Family.

As widows, too, French women are gener-
ally invested with the acting supremacy of
ther families "a French widow writes
Max O'Reill, remains the head of her family
but an English widow becomes dowager.
She abdicates in favor of her eldest son; she
has rarely been initiated into the affairs of
her husband; and it seems quite natural to
her, that her son. a man, should take over
the headship.
1t is needless to say that, with regard to
our mothers, we appear highly ridiculous in
the eyes of Englishmen. But SO long as we
continue to make our mothers our guides and
confidants we have no need to be jealous of
the English habit But all this Is not only
not ordered by, but in direct opposition to
the Code Napoleon.
So it happens that notwithstanding the
celebrity Of the capacity of French women
in business, they have never been allowed a
vote in the election Of the Judges Of Indus
try. For years past efforts have been made
to amend this, and they have just almost
succeeded; the Senate has adopted a measure
giving women of business the right to vote
for the arbitrators in their affairs, but not to
themselves be elected to those posts. Why

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Captain Watson Urged to En-
force Its Provisions at
Blueflelds.

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 20, 1894.-The
Picayune publishes the following from its
Bluefield's correspondent under date Of
April 13:-The agonizing strain to which the
American residents of Bluefelds have been
subjected to since the 18th day of February
last was seemingly most satisfactorily brok-
en- yesterday morning by the official informa
tion Of the arrival of the United States bat
tleship San Francisco. About nine P. NJ,
the 11th instant, the San Francisco dropped
anchor in the ofing Of Bluefelds,
within easy reach of the British
warship Magicienne. The usual cour-
tesies were then exchanged between
the commanders of the respective vessels. At
ten P. M. that night the Magicienne steamed
away for Colon, leaving message that she
would return in six days. Then, at nine A.
M, yesterday. Captain Watson, attended by
his staff, came ashore and went straight to
the United States consulate, where a con
sultation was held with the United States
Consul, s. G. Braida, ann which lasted up to
five P. NJ, when Captain Watson returned
to his ship, accompanied by Consul Braida
as his guest.
Lacayo and his henchmen were both dis
appointed and humiliated at not being rec
ognized by the commander of the United
States warship San Francisco during his
nrSb OIlclal VlSlu ashore.
CARRY OUT THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
The sentiment of Americans in this COM
munity is expressed in the following
'Our government has now an opportunity
of clearly asserting the will of $4,000, 600
free Americans. There should be no monkey
business connected with the adjustment of
this international entanglement, created by
the government of Nicaragua, without iusti-
fication therefor and which involves mill
lions of American capital. 1t is not only to
to the interest of Americans that the right
of the Mosquito Indians to govern
themselves in accordance with Article
III. of the treaty of Managua should be
maintained, but it would also prove most
advantageous to Nicaragua We must,
therefore, hope that our diplomatic repre-
sentatives may now prove equal to the oc-
casion which / shall ever regard as provi-
dential Necessarily, Captain Watson's
true line of action should be to the rigid en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine and the
maintainence of the right of these Mos
quito Indians to govern themselves within
tion, according to their own laws and Gus
toms, in some form as defined in the said
Article Ill of the treaty of Managua."
SPECIAL MINISTER LECTURED.
Cuptain Watson, in company with Consul
Braida, at three o'clock this afternoon came
ashore and went direct to the Office of Jose
Madriz, the special commissioner of Mica
ragua, and gave Madriz lecture which may
cause Nicaraguans to regret the revocation
of the exequateur of our United States Cou-
sul the Hon. s. G. Braida.

is still in progress. so, in order to catch the

SITTING BULLS CAPTURE.

WASHINGTON, April 20, 1S94.-From a
bill pending before Congress it appears that
the United States has never fully paid for
the capture of the famous Indian chief,
Sitting Bull. Mr.. Baker of New Hampshire,
by request, has offered in the House bill
for the relief of Jean Louis Legare of the
Dominion of Canada. The measure appro-
pirates S13,4 for full compensation to Mr..
Legare for services rendered and money ex-
pended in bringing into the United States
and procuring the surrender of Sitting Bull
and his followers under direction of the
War Department. The Committee on
Claims takes an adverse view of the claim.

THE EVIOTED TENANTS BILL.
Irish. Members Not Enthusiast
Over 1t BY Amy Means.
BIZ Cable to the United Press

LONDON, April 20, 1s94.-The Evicted
Tenants bill, which Mr.. Morley introduced
in the House of Commons yesterday, fell
like wet blanket upon the Government
supporters. What little enthusiasm was
manifested by them was plainly perfunctory
and it is doubtful whether the measure with
be pushed to a final vote. The apathetic
attitude which many of the Irish members
have assumed toward the bill and theEopen
hostility displayed toward it by the remaind-
er of the Irish party cannot fail to have a
disheartening effect upon the Moderate
Liberals. The Radicals may possibly sup
port the bill, but it is as certain that the
Unionists will not, as it is that the Conser-
vatives will fight it tooth and nail
Commenting on the measure the Standard
says
1.-THE bill reflects credit on Mr.. Morley's
sentiments of justice and moderation, but
we hardly need Mr.. Harrington's prophecy
of revival of the reign of terror to realize
that the Governments plan of pacifcation
may end in the return of chaos"
