THE LEGAL RIGHT TO KISS.
Mrs. HentscheH Roused the Neigh
bors With Her OSCILLATION.

From the Philadelphia Record.
New York. Nov. li-Miss Annie Wheel
err is a maiden lady who lites in a house
ON Cedar street. near Malhone street,
Flatbush. and she has made up her mind
that SO long as she lives there she viii
not have her " maiden meditation. fancy
free" disturbed by the osculatory antics
of her co-boarders
In the same house lives Mrs. Lydia
Hentscheu, who is pretty. bue-eyed. 49,
winsome and who is very much in love
with her fine young husband. Mrs. Hent-
schell naturally likes To kiss her husband,
and her husband very properly is delight
ed to rcciprOcate in kind.
When Miss Wheeler attempted to stop
the kissing the Heutschells brought her
into court before Justice Steers
Miss Wheeler was asked what she had
to say why she should not be put under
bond TO keep tho peace. She minated
so loud and resounding and continuous
as TO keep her from sleeping or even
thinking calmly. They were not, she
limited. Tight as rose leaves, fine as
fire. but more like unto the sudden
withdrawal of a mules left hind foot
from a DOGGY place in a country road.
Justice Steers thereupon reprimanded
Miss Wheeler and put her under 500
bonds to keep the peace. He decided
that the kisses of the two young married
people need not necessarily be noiseless
perfect legal right to kiss out loud he
said, and as his decision is the first on
record. it becomes the law of the state
from this out.

morrow will say: 1T was stated in bank
ing circles yesterday morning that Secre-
tary Carlisle will to-day meet the leading
bankers of this city at a private confer
ence to consider the question of the gold

highest Importance. The treasury depart
ment as already announced, has been

with a view to ascertainng what they
could and would not do when the reserve
should reach the $4,000 900 mark.
The special messenger of the depart
ment was w. +. Curtis, who this time
studiously avoided publicity. The banks
have entertained favorably the plan Of
raising S25,oO0,oO0 in gold for 4 per cent
bonds, on per cent basis. The ques-
tion of the retirement of the greenbacks
will also probably be considered"

A SEVERE WINTER
The Cause OF Suffering and An Increase
of Diseases,

This winter has been the most Sc
we're for many years. North, South,
East and West intense cold and biz
yards have prevailed. This will surely
cause a great increase Of sickness aud
death. Chronic catarrh and consump-
ton always begin by catching cold.
Thousands have started on the road
toward lifetime Of misery from
chronic catarrh or sure death from
consumption. 1t is not too late yet to
be saved and restored to life of health
and activity. Peru ma will do it. II

catarrh less than two years old. OF
course Pe-ru-na cures thousands and
thousands of cases OF chronic catarrh
that have run for many years, but in
cases that are OF more recent origin it
cures, quickly, certainly and perma-
nently. Every case OF cold or cough
that has resulted from the effects of a
severe winter could now be cured in a
short time by Pc ru.na. Not a single
one need fail.

CHILDREN CREMATED.
Was 1t the Deed Of an Unnatural and
FiendiSh Mother!

News was received here Saturday
relative to the burning Of a residence
in Grayson county, Va, day or two
ago, in which two little children per
ished; and connected with it is the
horrible story of mother who was
most unnatural and fiendish, il the in
dicstions point to the truth OF the
matter.
The residence was the property Of
Henry Letter, of Grayson county. 1t
was occupied by woman named Hart
and her two children, aged four and
nine years, respectively.
1t is charged that the mother locked
her children up in the house and pur-
posely burned it down over their
heads
The woman was arraigned before a
magistrate ON that charge, and the
evidence was such that she was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury. The people of Grayson county
are said to be greatly agitated over the
matter, and, presuming that the WON
an is guilty, regard it as the most hor-
rible deed that was ever committed on
Grayson soil. The scene of the horror
is twenty-five miles from Chilhowie.-
