stupor until Wednesday last. When
the attending physician. DR.. F. A. Hub

and white as marble. the extremities

which were dull and fixed, turned up
ward and inward; the irises greatly
contracted; the eyelids motionless; the
lips chalky white and somewhat drawn

Last Thursday evening, as DR.. Hub
bell and two or three assistants were
still patiently working to restore the
patents vitality, a lamp which emit

the fingers of Miss Benedict's left hand,
and, to the surprise of all present.
though ashen, thin, and CHASTITY as
they were, a faint reddish color could
be seen, d~enoting the existence of life.
The physician then applied his hand to
the girls pulse, but was unable to de-

were then applied with renewed effort.
and. though the physician and his
helpers worked all night, they met
with no better result than before, ex-

During the morning of that day the
doctor resorted to the experiment of

joyed to find that a slight film, of mois-

application of the microscope, could be
observed.
The anxious mother and friends now
grouped themselves about the bedside

followed, and the horror of her

The CHASTITY danger to which she had
been subjected, that of living inhuma-

OPENING A SLUICE GATE


Relieves a dam of a superabundance of
water. The bowels are a kind of sluice
gate of the system. and serve to carry
off superfiuities which would otherwise
flood and damage it. Constipation OBJ
structs this avenue of escape. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters opens it and re-
lieves the system. This it does gently
and gradually. but completely, and
does not, like a violent purgative,
grippe, convulse and drench the bowels,
and leave them weak and unfit for eff
cient service afterwards. On the con-
trary, it ~invigorates and regulates at
the same time that it relieves them. 1t
also strengthens and imparts activity
to the stomach, liver and kidneys,
counteracts a tendency to rheumatism
and invigorates the nervous system.
For the relief and prevention Of chills

KANSAS DIVORCES.
The Recent Legal Deciaion VIII Cause %
Endless Amount Of Confusiou.

The Recent Legal Declaion VIII Cause %
Endless Amount Of Confssion.
New YORK. July II. Lawyers in this
city apprehend that the decision rem.
dered by the Kansas court Of appeals
which declared the law ineffective un.
der which divorces had been granted
in that state In the past IS years, will
cause an almost endless amount OF
confusion in marital relations, In the
relations Of children to parents, and
as to the custody and property rights
Every lawyer who was asked about
the matter yesterday spoke Of It as a
very grave situation. 1T is very
serious matter, indeed" said Mr. Fred.
eric \. Coudert ut will affect the
present marital relations of the par
ties to the divorce suits, making their
new marriages illegal, perhaps depriv-
ing their children Of Legitimacy and
disturbing the property interests Of
many families II the decision is
based upon the imperfection Of some
matter Of procedure, then perhaps the
troubles caused by it may be remedied,
but II it is based on the demonstrations
atty of the law itself, then l do not
see how 1t can be remedied. In that
case the whole Of the DEGREES which
have been issued under the law will
stand as If they had never been issued.
Therefore, the people who were mar.
ried before the DEGREES were issued
will be married now, new marriages
will be void and 1t will be unlawful for
the couples to continue to live together
and children born to these new mar
riapes will be Legitimate Even the
legislature in that case will be unable
to straighten out matters 1t cannot
impair the rights Of the older con.
tracts nor deprive the people who
would have acquired property rights
under the old condition Of things Of
these rights II could mitigate the
evils which would be produced by up
setting such long line Of legal &C.
