THEY CALLED HER MAD.
Miss Edith Lanche ster Follows
Grant Aliens Ideas.
An Intelligent Girl startles England by
Declaring Against the Marriage
R~ite-Released by Social
istic Agitation.

Miss Edith Manchester, of Salvatore,
Kingston Hill, England, has created a
sensation by her peculiar views on mat
rimony. She has tried to wipe out mar
rage laws, banns and everything else
pertaining to the sacrament of matri-
mony.
Miss Manchester is "a years old, well
educated and good looking. She ma
circulated at London university, a pref
ty stiff "exam." and then went as teach
er in the Maria Grey training school in
London, where she was observed to be
one of the newest of the new women.
Her views on social questions were
found to be so advanced" that her re-
tirement from this post was rapid, and
she got a place as secretary of a mining
company.
She was a shining light of the Batter
sea branch of the Social Democratic fed
Grafton, where horny-handed reform
ers met every Tuesday night and passed
resolutions beginning: Whereas, we

the abolition of the house of lords, the
buDJeCJlOu VI JnS IOydl ldlllly w a
course of inanition, and a general era
Of white-winged reform. Miss Ian
chester made speeches, eloquent, but of
am extremist character.
. The ceremony of marriage was one of
the things she preached against, adyo-
eating a state of things with regard to
home life that it was highly embarrass-
ing to discuss at gatherings of the Dor
cas- societies.
One day she announced to her family
that she had made up her mind to take
up her abode with James Sullivan, a
man far beneath her socially and intel
lectually. She said she had no inten-
ton of becoming Mrs. Sullivan. Then
she proceeded to pack her trunk, at the
same time treating her scandalized IA
Their and brothers to an impassioned
harangue against marriage. She said
that she and Sullivan were going to be-
come living object lessons of the utter
lack of necessity for any such institu-
ton. In vain her father pointed out
that hundreds of such object lessons

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-At a
meeting Of the principal holders OF
California prunes, representing
fully 80 per cent Of the stock re.
manning on hand in the state, 1t
was decided that in view of the
decreased supply which 1t was
estimated was barely sufficient for
the domestic spring trade, they
were warranted in advancing the
price Of the four skies in sacks to
four cents. This price is to become

HOSPITAL.
Western Trsinmen Provide Means to Care

lot hhtDlsCltfss
A new hospital is being built at st.
Joseph, Kan, by railroad men out of
their own earnings, and designed exclu-
sively for their own use. In it all
those who have suffered injuries while
on duty, or who are seized with any
serious illness, will be cared for.
The building is four stories high, the
first story of Colorado sandstone, and
the other three of Philadelphia pressed
brick. There are over 20 rooms in the
new hospital. There will be accommo-
dations for 60 regular patients, and in
an emergency it will hold over 200.
The sanitary arrangements, as might
be expected, will be very complete. The
air in the rooms can be kept at an even
temperature, while, at the same time,

there was some found there"
In fact Miss Bastian insisted while
the tears were running down her
cheeks, that whatever she knew
would throw no new light on the
murder Of Fred Kuschmann. of which
she claimed to know absolutely moth
ing.
Then Miss Bastian told of the ride
herself and Henry took over to N. T.
Johnson's on the occasion of his
having been discovered to be a forg-
or on the night before his suicides:
Henry seemed to feel very bad that
night" continued the witness, land
he told me that hit was not for his
wife and little daughter he would
end his misery. He said that every
thing seemed to be going wrong. 1
was little frightened at his actions,
but that he really contemplated the
rash deed which he carried out at the
break OF the day following was
farthest from my mind"
Miss Clara Tinda!l denied that she
heard Mildred say while she was on
visit to the Bastian house that Fred
was very sick and could hardly get in
to the buggy the night he went away.
Miss Belle Weaver told of talk she
had with Miss Carrie Bastian, in which
the latter attributed her brothers
suicide to persecution in connection
with kuschmann's death. Charles
Weigel told of he and his sister going
to the Bastian house on the night of
Kuschmaun's death.
Deputy Coroner Eckhart was the
last witness. He told of the iuter-
views ne had with the different par
ties interested in the case and of his
impression from the first that Bas-
tian was the guilty man.

ment OF the Union. to reconsider the
reapPointment of superintendent Of
Schools j. E. Ament, and then to re-
quire their appearance individually
with written charges next Saturday
"a course which cannot properly
have the sanction Of fairly disposed
board-the plan cannot be carried
out in the first essential particular.
The present board. a legal authority
holds. has discharged its duty as far
the present superintendent is con-
cerned, and no matter how much il
might desire to do so cannot 90 back
of it. Mr.. Ament has been formally
reappointed by session of the direc-
tors and has accepted from that
board its tender. That session was
adjourned in due form and the BUSH
ness closed, so that under no rnle
governing the board can it res
cind its action. In word it took upon
itself powers which did not belong to
1t and it must now stand by them.
1t does not follow from this that the
appoint meut of Mr.. Ament is lepal.
but it is true that the bard having
assumed such functions under the
presumption that it was pursuing a
lawful course. it cannot now retrace
its steps. And when a new board
comes in it will exercise its preroxa.
tives as it sees fit, and then it viii
remain for the law to determine
which is right. But the present
board has made its record. and il
cannot relieve itself of it's RESPONSE
bilisy except by the resignation of
the superintendent.
The alleged purpose of the board
to undo what it has done is out of
the question. 1t acted without rea.
son. sense or justice in the reap-
Pointment Of the superintendent, az
cepting the assertion Of one of its
members that the charges against
him were either made under a mis-.
apprehension or we're deliberate
falsehoods. If it acted too hastily
and if further developments have
brought any change in spirit
which is extremely doubtful-it has
the misfortune Of having made its
own record and for which it deserves
to suffer. The board has been actu.
ated BY an unfair spirit in all that
it has done pertaining to the SUPER
intendent from its reelection OF him
down to the present time. 1t cannot
right wrong by doing further
wrong.
Penitence is the best thing for the
present board. The new one will
take care OF the rest.
