CRYING FOR LIBERTY
One or Both Parties to Suit Guilty
of Bigamv

A rather odd suit for annulment of
marriage has been begun by Mrs. Julia
M. Clare against Roy NJ. Clare. The
facts, as set forth in the complaint, seem
to indicate a mental obtuseness as to the
requirements of the law on the part OF
one or both of the parties to the suit that
is perfectly unique.
1t is alleged that the parties were mar
ried on November 1S, 1890, in this city,
by Rev. ]. A. b. Wilson. At that time
the fair plaintiff claims that she had a
former husband living, and that pre-
vious marriage had been undissolved
by divorce. Mrs. Glare does not allege
that she was cognizant of her first hus-
band still being in the land of the living,
but does boldly assert that Mr.. Glare
was cognizant of the fact. That allie
cation places the onus Of bigamy upon
the defendant, and if the old saying that
SILENCE gives consent" is true, then
the natural inference that Mrs. Glare
was also not entirely ignorant of her
first husbands existence would reveal
her, also, as willing participant in a
bigamous union.
In these premises Mrs. Glare asks that
her marriage be annulled and she be re-
leased from any and all obligations and
duties arising from it.

HIS FOOT SLIPPED
And Seymour Bisbee Sustained $4,000
Worth Of Injuries

And Seymour Bisbee Sustained $4,000
Worth Of Injuries
On the 9Th of September last one Sey-
mour E. Bisbee attempted to board one
of the cars of the Pasadena & Los An
geles electric road, at River station, and
came to grief. AS he himself states the
car was standing at the point where
passengers are usually taken up, when
he attempted to get on. Owing, as he
alleges, to the careless negligence of the
company's servants the car started
while he was in the act of getting aboard.
He was thrown violently to the ground.
and had his right arm broken near the
elbow, his right leg badly bruised and
otherwise he sustained physical injury
and suffered the mental anguish that al
ways is an accompaniment of such ac-
cidents.
Mr.. Bisbee had been earning $50 per
month, and for two months he was de-
prived of this income by reason of his
injuries combining him to his house. In
addition to this sum of $3.50 which was
lost to him, his physicians bill amount
ed to $40, that made 5000 he was out of
pocket. In addition to this, Mr.. Bisbee
says he has reason to believe that he will
never fully recover from his injuries,
but will suffer more or less pain, and as
some recompense for all this he demands
$4,000 as damages. For the total amount
of $5200 Mr.. Bisbee has now brought suit
against the Electric Railway company.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
The Grand Jury Appoints Its Corps
of Experts

A corps of six expert bookkeepers have
been selected by the grand jury to ex-
anime into the accounts Of the county
officers. Charles Prayer is chairman of
the committee having in charge the
matter Of exporting the county books
and the following gentlemen have been
appointed to do the work: c. Basker-
vile, who has charge of the force; A. A.
Bayley, c. A. Hamilton, c. L. Wild and
- Ziegler and J. Barnett, who will be in
the tax department.
1t is supposed that the grand jury will
accept the exporting done by Mrs. Fowl
er, appointed some time ago by the
board of supervisors, and that the ex-
porting will be brought up to date from
where she left Off In such case the work
ought to be expedited and reports made
within a measurably short time and if
so it will be in most marked and pleasing
contrast to the exporting done for the
grand jury last year.

really means. After getting his gray
matter badly tangled up, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Holton arrived at the
conclusion that the lady most closely
concerned must wait while yet before
assuming the marital bonds. The law.
1t is urged, is not in the ordinary sense
retrospective, but it places a prohibition
on certain marriages just as surely as
il 1t declared that cross-eyed people
should not marry. In such case there is
no qualification; twelve months must
elapse from the date of the decree before
divorced person can remarry.

Thomas Jefferson Not a Democrat.

It is painful to be forced to unmask a
man who has been SO long held up as
the exponent of Democratic doctrine,
but stern sense of duty to the free sill
yer and spoils Democracy of the present
compels us to portray him in his true
colors. 1t is not right that he should re-
ceive the enthusiastic laudations of
Chicago platform Democrats when he
was false 70 nearly every one of the
great and glorious principles which
they formulated in 1895. What right
had Jefferson to pose as Democrat,
anyhow? What pretensions to Democ-
racy had a man who actually believed
in applying business principles and
common sense to national affairs, who
had old fashioned ideas about the sa-
credness Of obligations, who demone-
tized silver when he saw it was neces-
sary for the public good and who was a
civil service reformer.
Logically the only thing for the free
silver Democrats to do is to denounce
Mr.. jefferson instead of praising him
and to adopt resolutions reciting his
various glaring heresies and formally
reading him out of the party, for it is
absolutely certain that if the Chicago
platform is to be taken as the expression
Of true Democratic doctrine Thomas
jefferson was not a Democrat and must
descend from his pedestal as the father
Of Democracy. -Baltimore Sun.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

II Occupies the Entire Attention of the
senate.
WASHINGTON, May lathe Cuban
urestion occupied the entire attention
of the senate during the day, the de-
bate taking a wide range and at times
becoming spirited when comparisons
were made between the attitude of the
former administration and the present
on the subject of Cuba. Senators Nor
rill CT Vermont and Gallery of Louisi-
ana spoke in opposition to the resolu-
ton Senators Lodge of Massachusetts
and Foraker of Ohio advocated defer
ring the question until further infor-
nation could be secured from the state
department., and Senators Mills of
Texas and Allen of Nebraska urged the
immediate passage of the resolutions.
The debate was not concluded when
the senate adjourned.
Kyle OBJ jects to Malicious kilograms.
During the day Senator Kyle Pop,
s. d., rising to question of privilege,
said criticisms had appeared in the
West relative to his position on senate
committees and intimating that it was
due to some understanding with Re-
publican senators. He came here, he
said, without knowing that reor-
ganization was contemplated. He had
had no conference with Democratic or
Republican senators as to, where he
would be assigned on committees and
he objected to the malicious kilograms
sent out from Washington that he had
begged assignments anywhere. Mr..
Kyle said as he understood the policy
of the Populists, they believed in Civ
ing the control and the responsibilities
of the senate to the Republicans, who
controlled the other branches of the
government. He believed that was the
rightful policy.
