MARRIED TWICE AT FIFTEEN.
A Girls Father Accused of Conniying to
Make Her Bigamist

Newark, n j., Nov. 30.-Rose Tusco
Morrow is only 10 years old, but she is in
lail here charged with bigamy. Seven
months ago she came to this city with
Louis Morrow, from Brooklyn, and the
two were married by Justice Canning.
One day when Morrow was away from
home. pasquale-. Dolore visited Mrs.
Morrow in company with her father,
Agotinc Tusco. Dolore is man pos
sesscd of moderate means, and it appears
that Agotne Tusco owed him some
money. In order to cancel the debt he
proposed to Dolore that he should accept
his daughter for his wife
The father then told Rose that Dolorc
thought so much of hc- that he was will
ling to aid her with money. This. ut
least, is what the girl claims. She says
her father told her that if she would ac
company Dolore to the bank he would
give her the money Trusting her father,
She went with Dolore, who, instead of
taking her to Il bank, took her to IL JUS
tee of the peace.
The girl cannot speak English Dolorc
can, and acting as interpreter between
herself ami the justice, invcigled her into
IL marriage. He told her of the trick
after they had left the Justices Office. At
the first opportunity Rose ran away from
her second husband and returned to Nor
row. They went to live mt ~ Highland
street. Tusco and Dolore followed them
to the house and threatened to have them
arrested if she did not return to Dolorc.
Size refused, and Il complaint of unlaw-
full Capitalization was made against Mr..
and Mrs. Morrow. They were arrested
last right and are now in the county Jail.
Counselor Van Hovenberg has taken
hold of the case, and will apply for trial
Monday after which he will see what can
be done with the girls father and hus-
band No ).

St. Paul daily globe., 1896-04-26

Miss Farnsworth was carried from her wheel
in limp condition, and Miss Baldwin was in
but little better shape, but both were revived
by the beautiful and fragrant flowers which
had been sent them by admirers during the
evening. Scarcely had it been announced that
Miss Farnsworth had won $3.50 Miss Baldwin
$500, Miss Allan SIPS, Miss Peterson SIS and
Miss Hokenson $50, than 1t was announced
that Miss Baldwin offered to put up her prize
against Miss Farnsworth's for a twenty-five
mile race Monday night. The management, it
was announced, would also put UP purse OF
$1O0, and the prices Of admission would be re-
duced. The challenge, of course was accept
ed.
May Allan, just to show that there was no i'll
feeling pressed her lips to Miss Farnsworth's
pallid cheek, while Miss Baldwin gave her
hated adversary the glad hand. Miss Peterson
and Miss Hokenson, the other Minneapolis en-
tries, needless to say, were delighted with the
victory of home talent and, all in all, the lit
tie coterie at the ringside entered heartily into
the cheer that greeted the happy but hardy
cognizant victor as she dismounted.
The race was late starting last night, partly
duo to the difficulty of seating the immense
crowd which had come to see thaeinish, and
partly out of desire to accommodate those
who might be detained at their business until
late In the evening. 1t was, therefore, half
past II before the race was done.
The first portion of the evenings racing was
not exciting. The leaders made IS miles and
laps the first hour, lively clip but not
break-neck one. The score then was 2O9 miles
and laps for the leaders, with Miss Allan 2OS
miles IL laps, Miss Peterson 20s miles 5 laps,
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-04-26

De an immediate squirt, but no such
contingency came Instead Miss Bald
win was content to trail the wheel of
the fast Minneapolis girl until within
few minutes of the close, when the
pace was warmed up to three-min-
ute clip, a very fast one for an eight
een-lap track. This was unavailing,
and one by one Baldwin clipped the
seconds off, until the gait went down to
a 2:50 rate for the last three rounds.
But Just as fast as Miss Baldwin re-
duced her seconds to the mile, the
Minneapolis speeder followed suit, and
the effort was misguided. In across
the tape they came for the first lap
of the last half minute Still Farms
worth held her lead, and an audience
Of 1900 people was breathless with ex-
element Again the riders sped
around, and again Farnsworth was
ahead She looked tired, but she was
as game as a bull terrier, and she stuck
to her task nobly. Around they came
for the last time. In the first turn it
looked as though Baldwin was going
to dash ahead, but as they went down
the back stretch Miss Farnsworth re-
newed her lead. Coming into the
straight again. Miss Baldwin gained
a little, but not enough. and as they
crossed the tape Miss Baldwin's front
rim was abreast of the hub Of Miss
Farnsworth's wheel That was all. A
champion of Miss Baldwin in the press
gallery tried to make himself believe
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-04-26

and Miss Hokenson 207 miles fat Occasional
lspurts were putting Misses Baldwin and
Farnsworth well ahead of the rest. while Miss
Allan, in her rich suit of Killarney green, was
now and again giving way to an irresistible
desire to sprint If only for short distance.
For the most part, however, the riders were
contented with about $3.50 clip, and it was
enough on that track.
Miss Farnsworth had restored the flag to
her waist last night, a propitious change, as
it would seem, in view of the results ex-
perienced.
Fifteen minutes before the close the last
three riders were ordered out, and, after a
few laps to get the wrinkles out of their
into their street clothes, only to remain at
the ringside and cheer their favorites on to
victory. Miss Allan, of course. was de-
voted champion of her old colleague, Helen
Baldwin. while the two Minneapolis girls
were as loyal to the Minneapolis star.
The real race began about seven laps from
the end as above related. 1t was fast and
furious round, for when anything below a
three-minute mile is spun off among the
pillars of the st. Paul Auditorium the pace
is dizzy one, and the swerve of a hair s
breadth is likely to send the entire cycle
shooting match into the air, or the here
from the time the final squirt began until
the end was gone The threng stood on tip
toe, watching the riders little, and the tape
more, for there the place v here this
battle royal was to be finally efded, and
if there had been closer decision than
there was the referees life would have been
in his own hands.
As it was, the race, although close, was
decisive, and little complaint was made.
AT the close of the race Baby Bliss, the 600
pound phenomenon from Chicago, made his
appearance on the track clothed in white
sweater, with II collar and place to
shrink, and, in the midst Of fears that the
track would sink from sight, perambulated
six times around the track in the marvelously
fast time of 1:33, considering the resistance of
the air on his ample girth.
1t was only by main force that the police
could keep bevy Of a dozen girls from rush
ing to the track and by extending hands, give
the cherubic infant concerted hug. No one
of them could have done 1t alone.

GETTING GOOD WHEELS CHEAPI1Y
Several shrewd young women who
wish to ride wheels this season, says
the Chicago Post, but who feel they
cannot afford to pay the list prices
for 1896 machines, have gained bargains
by ''going the rounds" of makers. In
every case they called upon the sales
men to show the highest grade 1885
wheel remaining in stock Then, py
earnestly dwelling upon the beauties OF
the increased size of 1896 tubing, ana
commenting upon the apparent dlsad-
vantage of the 1895 wheels. they nave
secured prices on the 1895 machines
that are simply ridiculous. One hund-
red dollar wheels Of last year nave
been purchased for $50 and less, and
the happy buyers declare that when
they are speeding along the bouleVards
their skirts will conceal the smaller
tubing, and no one will stop to investl-
gate the year of the wheel" AS the
machines are otherwise identical. the
economy displayed by the buyers Is
to their great advantage.
FRIEND OF BICYCLES.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles. commander
in-chief of the army, has for long
time been recognized as foremost
friend of the bicycle and the bicycle
rider. In the current number of one
of the magazines he advocates the
wholesale adoption of the wheel into

ground offer any difficulty to the rider.
1t appears likely that the machine will
be much used for military purposes.
Great Importance is attached to the
ability to start and stop it without dis
mounting. Owing to the special ar
rangement of the brake, which stops
the machine, no matter what the speed
may he, in n few feet, the rider can
rest his legs going down hill by sim
keeping his feet still on the pedals;
the machine cannot get out of control
as an ordinary bicycle might, as 1t is
only necessary to press both feet at
the same time to bring the wheel brake
into play. This machine is also to be
largely adapted to cabs. 1t is pro-
posed first to establish the fact that
the cab cycle is worthy of recognition
by selling it and hiring it out. After
its merits have been widely proved to
the public i'm the streets of the large
cities, application is to be made for
licenses to apply to hire, under the
zane conditions as hackney carriages.
II is said that experiments have proved
the capability of these machines to
carry a heavy passenger up hills nav
ing a grade of one foot in eight feet,
and they travel easily on the level at a
speed of thirteen miles an hour. The
motion. while more rapid that that of
an ordinary cab, is much more easy
and uniform.

Electrical Farming.

A Western inventor says he has
greatly improved on the German sys-
TEN of using electricity for blowing
and other agricultural purposes, and
has devised a method which is so sim
pie that any ono can work it If he has
the current to d 1t with. This device
enables the farmer to plow his field,
harrow it. put il the seed, ard, when
the crop Is grown, to harvest it by cleo
tricity. In a plclt which has been con-
Structcd To shoT the capabilities of the
system, the pc yer is brought to the
farm from a T)wer-house that serves
an entire community within n radius
of ten miles from o farm. The current
is conducted through a feed wire to q
wire running around the fields, ana be-
sides being available in all weathers
for all the outdoor agricultural opera
tons of the farm, is largely used with
in the buildings. and h found to be a
Godsend in districts where labor Ii

Feeding Rran

While not a complete food In itself,
be used in connection with other ma
terials to feed to mich cows. And in
nearly all cases a light ration can be
given at night and morning to a good
advantage. 1t is a fact learned by *
perience that the dairymen hat make
the most money from their products
are the most liberal feeders, and this
class Of dairymen feed their cows all
summer. A COW well sustained during
the summer is invariably n much more
profitable animal during the winter.
1t pays to feed cows literally and as
far as 1t Is possible to keep in q good
condition, and wheat bran feed in con-
nection with other materials helps to
increase the quantity of the milk.

Butter Flavor.

Tests at the Iowa station show that
butter flavor is governed chiefly by the
right degree Of acidity Of the cream.
The best results are obtained by quick
ripening and frequent stirring. Stir
ring cream during the ripening period
enables the Tactic acid germs to get
oxygen from the air. Different sam
pies of the same lot of cream were
taken and ripened at different tempera-
lures and to different degrees Of acid
ity, and the butter samples from
these lots differ in flavor to a marked
degree. The finest flavor vas OBJ
tanned by %ripening at a temperature Of
70 degrees to an acidity Of 81, while
an acidity above 40 gave a decidedly
bitter flavor to the butter. The same
effect followed a long period of ripen-
ing at a low temperature.
