A GRUEsoME FIND
Two Hunters Stumble Across the
Remains of q Man

Remains OF Man
The partially decomposed body Of a
man was found yesterday after
noon in clump of bushes on Smiths
ranch, near the Southern Pacific rail-
road, eleven miles south of this city, by
a couple Of negroes named J. Jackson
and A. Fleming, who were hunting rab-
bits. Nearby was a heavy walking
stick. which had evidently belonged to
the man. His shoes had been removed
and remained near him. The negroes,
after taking cursory glance at the re-
mains, hurried away to farm house
belonging to Charles Cormock.
Cormock went back and viewed the re-
mains, which he identified as those Of a
tramp, who had applied at his house on
Tuesday, a week ago, for something to
eat. The dead man had stated to him
that he was IS years old. The ground
near the corpse showed signs Of vio-
lent struggle. but 1t is believed to be a
case Of suicide by strychnine poisoning.
AS soon as the negroes reached this city
they reported their gruesome find to the
police. The coroner was notified, but
will not go out to the scene until this
morning, as the spot where the body
was found Is so isolated that the negroes
did not believe they could find it at
night.

MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.
Dr. Parkhurst On the Tendency to Degrade
 Marriage to the Level of Commerce.

Dr. Parkhurst on the Tendency to Degrade
 Marriage to the Level of Commerce.
 'I cannot dismiss this matter without deprecating the tendency so conspiou- ously operative among us to degrade marriage to the level of commerce, |" writes the Rev. Charles Fl. Parkhurst, D. D., in The Ladies' Home Journal in 8 paper on 'fThe Young Man and Mar riage." ''This is not denying that there are material considerations that in this matter, as in all others, require to be re- spected. A poor young man marrying 8 poor young girl, with only the prospect that their life will become more and more complicated as time goes on, is a fool. have had affectionate couples wait upon me to be married and then ask me to trust them for the wedding fee. 1 think that we who are clergymen ought to refuse to marry applicants who cannot show to our satisfaction that there is no likelihood that either they or their possible offspring will ever come upon the town.
 "Nor, on the other hand, does my objection lie against any amount of contingent assets with which either or both of the contracting parties may chance to 6e endowed. My only conten- tion is that in every marriage not es- sentially unholy the basal element is love. and that marriages which are 'ar. ranged, marriages which mean, first of all, an affair of perquisites or a bar ter in commodities, are a distinct in fraction upon the spirit of the seventh commandment. The voluminous dis. plays with which we know such unions to be sometimes celebrated only aggra. vate the mischief and operate to teach our young people in all conditions oi life that marriage may be reduced to g species of traffic, differing from the dealings on the Stock or Produce Ex changes only in some of the details with which the bargain is consummated. Such examples are distinctly alien tC the entire genius of the institution oi | marriapa 'S
