- Men and women theatre-goers of
Ohio are at war with each other. Not
long ago the Ohio legislature passed
an act forbidding women, on pain of
fine, to wear hats in theatres. The
idea is to do away with the high hat
which obstructs the view of those
behind. The women are now at work
to secure the introduction of bill
that imposes similar fines against men
for going out of the theatres between
acts, or for splitting tobacco on the
floors.
The house of representatives, on
Monday, by a vote of 245 to 27, adopt
ed the senate resolution recognizing
the belligerent rights of the Cubans.
The resolution now goes to the presi-
dent for his signature. The president,
however, and all his close friends, have
all the while been opposed to the idea
of recognizing the the belligerency of
the Cubans at this time, or so far as is
known, at all, and what will be done
about signing the resolution is matter
of doubt. The question will probably
not be settled for several days. Mean
while, all who understand the situation
will watch the outcome with intense
interest.

Harrison to Mrs. Mary Lord Dimmick
took place in St. Thomas church, New

clasps.
Crisp and Smith met in Atlanta
last Thursday night in joint debate in
the presence of about 10000 people.
At Augusta, Smith had promised to
give remedy for the existing financial
depression when he spoke in Atlanta.
No remedy was suggested and the peo-
ple laughed at him. Crisp made the
speech of his life. He delivered one
of the finest free silver arguments that
has been heard for years, and for des.
sert, made sport of poor Smith until
that gentleman grew angry. The de-
bates, however have been indefinitely
postponed. Mr.. Crisp's voice has fail
ed him, and his physician has advised
him not to talk any more until he gets
better.
The recently discovered X-rays
were put to somewhat remarkable
use in a Wichita, Kansas, court last
Saturday. Peter Neel had his wrist
broken on the Santa Fee railroad some
time ago, and the railroad doctor set
the broken bones. Neel claimed that
the setting was improperly done, and
sued for damages to the amount OF
$4,000. To establish the fact as to
whether or not the homes were improp-
erly set, the court directed the professor
of electricity in the Wichita university
to make "shadowgraph." The "shad-
owgraph' shows an unevenness In the
knitting of the bones, but as to wheth-
er or not this is the result of botchwork
on the part of the railroad doctor is q
question to be quarreled over by the
expert witnesses who were in court.
"For over a year," says the Bos-
ton Transcript, "a slender American
girl has faced death almost daily at
the American mission in Oorfa, an
out-station of Aintab, Turkey. She is
Miss Corinna Shattuck, who has for
years been engaged in missionary work
in various parts of the sultan's domain.
Cable messages from Constantinople
tell of an attack on January l, by an
angry mob on the Armenian mission
at Oorfa. Through the heroism, how
ever, of six Turkish officials, who,
after a vain endeavor to reason with
the mob, finally scattered them by
firing upon them, Miss Shattuck was
saved. Miss Shattuck is native Of
Louisville, KY, left her home when "a
wears old to devote her life to mission
work in Turkey. Under the Ameri-
can board, Congregational Mission
ary society, she went to Aintab and
became principal of the young wo-
mans school, afterward transferring
her labors to Adana, Kessara, Marash
and Oorfa."
