MRS. DRAYTON WILL FIGHT.

with Emphasis.
tln.nI Iv,,ito "a

by the United Press.
Trenton, n. j., Jan. 22-Counsel for
Mrs. Coleman Drayton today obtained
from Vice Chancellor Green an order
extending to Jan. 30 the time in which
she may file her denial to the specific
charges of infdelity made in her hus-
bands bill for divorce. Mrs. Drayton
is now on her way to this country, and
is due to arrive in New York on Thurs
day. Her counsel, r. V. Lindalmay, of
Elizabeth, declares that Mrs. Drayton
will not only make a strong denial of
the charges of intimacy with Hallett
Alsop Burrowe, but that she will fight
the applicat ton for divorce to the end.
The taking of testimony before n
master in chancery is thus delayed once
more, and it is not likely to begin for
month or more, as under the order
She has until Jan. 20 to file an amended
answer. 1t is quite likely that it will
theG be taken in private as nearly all
the proceedings SO far have been quiet
ly conducted.

She Handled the Whip We'll.

Standing the disobedient young man
up in front of Gler, Miss Mills entered
upon a castigation that he will remem-
ber to his dying day. The news of the
whipping created tremendous excite
ment in the village, and the boys father
promptly swore out warrant for Miss
Mills arrest, charging her with assault
and battery. The order-loving people
of the community came to her rescue.
and public sentiment was decidedly in
her favor, but the Wills family are
prominent in the community and were
not without their partisans in the con-
trovCrsy. EX-State Senator Hays, of
Greencastle, was employed by Miss
Mills to defend her and day was con-
sumed in trial before a jury of Hem
bricks county farmers, some of whom
Were patrons of the school. The jury
failed To agree, and the case is to be
tried again.
Miss Mills is described as being a
sweet-tempcred young lady, an en-.
thusiast In her profession and painstak-
ing in her care of the interests of those
intr usted to her charge. That she was
not too severe was demonstrated, her
friends say, in the trial, for, though
there were marks of the switches on
Wills back and legs the skin was not
broken nor blood drawn at any place.

SMART BOY FLOGGED.
An Indiana School. Ma am Preserves Or.

Boy Big Enough to Grow Whiskcrs.

BY the United Press.
Indianapolis, Jam. 22-The sensation
al encounter between Professor Crow
ley, of the grammar department of the
Clayton (Hendricks county, high school,
and an irate parent, in which the teach
er was badly cut and the parent and
his son thrown down a flight of stairs,
has revived interest in a prosecution
that is pending in the same village
against the principal and Crowley for
flogging a young man named Wills.
Miss Belle Mills is the principal of the
village high school. A few weeks ago
Miss Mills noticed that a spirit of in
subordina ton was becoming manifest
among some Of the larger pupils. I'm
der her charge are number of young
men ranging from 16 to 20 years of age.
She noticed that when one of the larger
pupils was ordered to do anything
obedience was followed by jeers and
taunts, which indicated contempt on
the part of the pupils for one who will
| ingly submitted to rules invoked by a
woman.
One day young Wills found a hand
kerchief upon the floor and hung it
| upon the chandelier. Miss Mills or
! dered him to take it down. The COM
mlnd was repeated two or three times
! and he finally Obeyed and put the
| handkerchief into his pocket. After
the noon recess Wills walked to the
chandelier and hung the soiled hand
kerCIhief upon it again. The presump-
tion was that the older boys had guyed
him at recess for taking the handker-
chief down, and he had been thus
wrought up to the point of making a
contest with his teacher. Miss Mills
promptly ordered him to take down the
handkerchief, but he refused to do SO
and persisted in his refusal, though he
refrained from impudence and main
tanned a respectful demeanor. Miss
Mills sent for Professor Crowley, who
has charge of the intermediate or gram.
mar department, and asked him TO gel
some switches. She also requested him
to remain in the room, as she intended
to whip young Wills. Crowley secured
three large switches and took a posi-
ton near the teachers desk, presum
ably to lend a helping hand SHOULD
Wills offer resistance or any of tht

 The senate committee on patents and individual senators have been flooded with telegrams and letters protesting against the removal of the old officials.
 Senator Call, chairman of the com nlittee, has consulted with his asso- ciates, and 1t is said has concluded that as these protests come from leading patent attorneys all over the country the nomination cannot be acted upon without a thorough investigation The time is too short for this and the com mittee has informally decided 1t will not make any report on the nomina- tions. They will consequently. go over unacted upon.

MUsr PAY INCOME TAX.
Clergymen's Incomes Not Exempted Under the New Law.

|.
 Collector Byzbee recently submitted to the secretary of the treasury two important questions regarding exemp- tlons from income tax which were Sat Hrday answered by Acting Commis- sioner G, w. Wilson as follows:
 First-L Losses. either incurred by trade, or from bad debts, can be deducted from gross income only when the busi- ness was actually transacted or in cured within the year for which the return is made All losses sustained or ascertaihed within the year 1894, from business or debts transacted or contracted prior to the first day of January, of said year, are not due to the year 1894, and cannot be al- lowed as a deduction in the income re- turns for that year.
 Second-No distinction is made in the law between the salaries and incomes of bishops or clergymen, and by any other persons. Therefore, all salaries and emoluments, and gifts of every character and kind received by bishops and clergymen, where the same in the aggregate exceeds the sums of $S,500 must be returned as in all other cases; and where the taxable limit is reached, the excess over $40O0 must pay the tax of per centum.

 London, March 1.-The News core spondent at Constantinople says:
 The situation of the missionaries of the American board residing at Marash is critical. Two of them are British subjects. The governor. general of the province of Aleppo declares that he sus- poets them of insurgent designs and has ordered their letters opened and sent to Aleppo, where they will be examined be- fore delivery. Boxes of food and cloth- ing addressed to them must now be ex- amined by the police at Marash, despite their being already inspected at Alexan- dria upon their entering the country.
 The chief of police in Marash conse- quently has seized several of such boxes. He also imprisoned the mule teers conveying them. He publicly de- clared that the missionaries were inn porting arms and had large quantities stored, ready for use against the Mo- hometans. The bigotry of the ignorant populace already aroused against the Armenians is now directed against the missionaries. Disaster is possible at any moment, unless the agitation is checked,
