A Breach Of Promise Case.

LONDON. England, March IA
A singular breach of promise c1se, ia
which the usual order of things is re.
versed and the woman is the defendant,
has attracted universi Il attenti, to the
Dublin divorce court, this week. The
complainant in the Ease is William
Taverner, captain Of one of the Allan
line steamships, and the defendant,
from whom 80, 900 damages is sought,
is a Miss O'Sullivan, the daughter oi
former member Of parliament. From
the evidence brought out iu the trial,
this week, it appears that the promis
is not denied by the young lady, but
that it was made con litionally on her
receiving permission from the author
tiles of the Roman Catholic church, L.
which she belongs. This permission
was promptly refuse by the church,
ON the ground that Captain Taverner
was Free Mason.

Against the Payorlss Son /.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March l4.--Iu
view OF the flavor OF national polite.
involved In the republican county
primaries next Monday, this spoke Of
the political whirligig is attracting an
unusual amount Of attention. Although
the county organization, on thesutface,
Is heart and soul for Governor Morton,
there Is suspicion Ct an undercurrent
OF sentiment on the part OF q small but
troublesome minority 10 favor Of some
other entry in the presidential race,
other than that OF New York's favorite
son. There Is some foundation for the
belief that the Union League element
of the republican party In New York
City favors Major Mckinley whether
as first choice or second TO Governor
Morton, is question for the Plat peo-
pie to coniure with.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March A.
The overwhelming public sentiment IL

sage Of federal law prohibiting such

hua, In Mexico, in relation to the Fitz.
slumons-Maher contest, appears to
have attracted attention and interest
on the continent Of Europe; for a pri-
vate letter from Athens states that the
boxing bouts have been stricken out OF
the program of the revival of Olympian
games scheduled TO take place near
that city, early next month.
On the. original program, the fifth
day OF the carnival was to have been
devoted to exhibitions of pugillstic
skill, and which it was expected would
prove one Of the most interesting fea-
lures OF the event; but, as result of
the unanimity of opinion between the
director general and the committee OF
arrangements, the feature is to be dis
pensed with, on the ground that it is
not in harmony with the enlightened
civilization of this generation.

sour SOUND sENSE.

SENATOR CHARLES SCOTT says in his
paper, the lola Register:
The Register was probably the lone
somist paper in America last week, be-
ing the only one, so far as our knowledge
goes, which took the position that the
Monroe doctrine was not properly in
volved in the Anglo Venezuelan contro-
versy, and that the president had blum
dered in sending to congress clustering
and war-like message. Nevertheless, we
expect to have company enough before
the year, for we still believe that Mr..
Cleveland has blondered.
In the first place he has stretched the
Monroe doctrine away beyond its origi-
nal scope and intention Seventy years
ago. when that doctrine was promulgat-
ed, there was a we'll defined apprehen.
sion that Spain, backed by the Holy AL
lance, would attempt to reconquer the
provinces she had lost in South America
and that other European powers were
also to come in for a share of the spoil.
The United States was weak then and
the fear that the re -esta blishment of pow
erful and rapacious monarchies as our
nearest neighbors might endanger our
peace and safety, was by no means
groundless. The danger that threat
ened our sister republics on the south
menaced us also, and it was only natural
that We should make common cause
with them and declare that we would
not permit their territorial rights to be
invaded or their political independence
to be taken away. But did that declara-
ton, called forth by the exigencies of the
times, bind US to exercise a protectorate
over them for all time to come? Aud
are VS. to fight their battles, right or
wrong? What American knows today
which is right England or Venezuela,
in this boundary dispute? Not one; and
yet here we are bowling like Comanches
for Warl Wsri Is it not an edifying

strong mind and fairly vigorous body
and is almost as fond of literary labor
as she was three quarters of a century
ago. She was born in Kent, England,
and belongs to a family famous for au-
thorship. Her sisters Agnes and Eliza
beth Strickland were the authors of that
famous work, HThe Lives of the Queens
Of England, and at the death of Agnes
the copyright Of the book passed into
her possession.
The Stricklands were also people of
note in the north of England for CEN

and last wife of Henry VIII, was
member of the family, it is said. Cath
airline Parr Strickland Trail was named
after this queen. She lived for some
time at Region Hall, fine old Eliza
bethan mansion near Wangford, the title
deed of which dates back to Edward VI
The hall was ivy clad and had numerous
secret passageways and several alleged
ghosts. Her father knew many of the
prominent authors and scientists of the
day, and Catharine's literary tendencies
became apparent at a very early age.
Her father died in 1918. and she was
cared for by her sisters Elizabeth and
Agnes and later by a guardian, who
happened one day to read a manuscript
she had written. 1t was called ''The
Blind Highland Piper and Other Tales. %
The stories pleased him SO we'll that he
! showed them to a London publisher,
who gave her guineas for them and
| brought them out in book form in 1919.

early productions, Little Downy, the
