A BIG Pow-wow OVER a POODLE.
Two widows Claim II and the Court
MeiEhed Their claims.


Two widows Claim II and the Court
Weighed Their Claims.
A tiny French poodle, by name Finette,
alias Baby, swathed in an immense
Scotch plaid shawl, held the center of the
stage in the Third district civil court
Monday, says the New York Journal.
Two widows, Mrs. Josephine Guillaume
and Mrs. Mary johnson, fought stubborn
ly for the possession of the shaggy little
pet. Judge Moore decided that it belong
ed to Mrs. Guillaume, and there was a
lively scene in the court room.
Mrs. johnson, accompanied by her maid
who held the poodle securely in her arms,
appeared in court early in the day and
waited Then came Mrs. Guillaume, her
14-year-old daughter, Cecile, Mrs. Kath-
crime Thompson, who had cared for the
dog from its puppyhood, and host of
| friends of the Gulllaume family, all in
tensely interested in the outcome of the
| case.
The widow Guillaume told how her
] dear Finette had disappeared on Novem-
| Der 16, how she had advertised for her,
and how a peddler had come to her home
and told her that Finette was in the fiat
occupied by the Widow Johnson. Then
Mrs. Guillaume explained that she went
to Mrs Johnson's fat and demanded her
Finette, only to be told that it was not
her "Finette," but Mrs. Johnson's "Ba-
by"
She insisted that it was Finette, and
Mrs. johnson had ordered her out of the
house. Mrs. Guillaume said she could
Identify F'inette by spot on her body.
Mrs. Johnson reluctantly permitted her
to examine the dog and the spot was
found as described.
Then Mrs. Johnson had a say. She said
she bought Baby from a man with
whiskers for SIS on November 10, but she
didn't know where the man could be
found.
Mrs. Thompson testified that she raised
the dog from a 6-weeks-old puppy, and
would know 1t among a thousand. The
dog in court, she declared, was Finette
and not Baby
Judge Moore said that the fact that
Mrs. Guillaume lost her Ffnette on No
vember 16 and that Mrs. Johnson had ac.
quired her Baby on November 10, when
coupled with the evident yearning of the
dog at that moment to break away from
! the Scotch plaid shawl and Mrs John

! Guillaumes, was sufficient to show tina
/ the dog was none other than the los
5 Finette. He ordered Mrs. johnson to turf
. the dog over to Mrs Guillaume.
e Mrs. johnson looked daggers, and Mrs

g Mrs. johnson. The maid released the dol
: and with joyous scream the little poodl
a rushed across the court room to the wait

The Baptist Denomination.

From the American Babtist year
book for 1897, just issued by the Anne
rican Baptist Publication Society,
quite number OF interesting facts
concerning the growth of this religios
denomination in the United States
may be obtained. OF Baptist COM
municants in the United States, &C.
cording to the year book, there are
now 1924, 098, of churches, 40,56S,
an of ministers, 81, 1857. Besides, there
are 22,7S7 Sabbath schools. with
1854, 43l teachers and $50, 1870 schol
AS. One marked peculiarly of the
Baptist Church membership lies In the
fact that only 925,6I9 communicates
reside in the northern states, while
the remaining $500, 900, reside in the
south, Under the charge of the Bap.
fist church in the United States there
are seven theological seminaries, of
which the two largest are at Chicago
and Louisville the former having 321
students and the latter 1903 students;
besides theological seminaries there are
thirty.seven colleges and universities
under Baptist control.
Some Of these institutions are hand
sonely endowed. Brown university,
which ranks as the oldest, has an en-
dowment of 50, 100000; Colgate uni
versity, So, 4O4, 900; the University of
Rochester, sl,2S0,0O0. Evidently
the Baptist church believes in a tho
roughly educated membership as well
as ministry.
Closely allied to the Baptist church
are various other kindred denomina-
tons, making the total number of
those who believe In immersion,
according to the year book, 5,134,37
Ia comparison with these figures it
may be Of interest to cite the strength
of various other denominations. Me-
in the United States, putting
it's several branches together, aggre--
gates 5,2s7, 1896 communicates; Pres
byterianism, /, 44O, 116, and Luther
anism, which is closely akin to Pres
byterianism, 1,42O,9O5. The 6gures1
in regard to other branches of the
faith are not accessible, but
he ones above cited serve to show
low most Of them stand. ~ y

Where Divorces Come Easy,

1t is almost as easy to secure di-
vorce in Missouri as it is in some of
the more Western States, where the
business stands on almost CONNER
cial basis. Eleven causes tor divorce
are recognized in Missouri, and the
various judges of the courts, although
they regard the matter as scandalous,
have to grant the divorce if even the
weakest of the eleven reasons are sus
tanned. The door is easily opened,
and after sixty days divorce may
not be reviewed, no matter what rela-
tons of fraud in its procurement may
be disclosed. In Jackson county four
hundred and eighty divorces were
granted during the year 1876, and
this is said to be about the yearly av
erage for the past twelve years fcr
this county. Evidently the laws Of
Missouri are not what they ought 0
be so far as the granting of divorces
is concerned.

80, 1897. She professed faith il
Christ at the age of Is. and Joined
the church at Chapel Hill and lived
a devoted Christian up to the time
of her death. She bore her afllic
tions with the greatest fortitude. A
few hours before she died she said

aid she expressed her witness to go.
She said she could see her Saviour
and she spoke of being with her
loved CUES who have gone on before,
she said she loved everybody, and
she had no fear of death, and while
the bereaved ones were 30 sad at
parting there must have been great
joy in heaven for her, where she
would meet loved ones long gone
before and above all to meet her
blessed Saviour. We as friends ten

we will cherish forever.
She was laid to rest In Crooked

ton.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we love is stilled, Ia
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be filed.
A little time on earth she spent
Till God for her his angels sent

ASKS FOR A STATUE.
Assemblyman Wants to Give it to
the State Historical
Society.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 9.-[Special. !
The expected fight over the Pere Mar
quette statue has been precipitated in
the Legislature The matter has been
bone of contention in the present Con-
g1ess and has attracted national atten-
ton.
Just ten years ago the Legislature au-
thoriZed the placing of a statue of Pere
Marquette in Statuary hall and last win
ter magnificent statue of the great ex-
plOrer was erected in the hall. 1t was
the work of Sig. Trentanove, the distin-
guished Italian sculptor, and was by all
odds the finest thing in the hall.
Immediately Congressman Linton and
others in Congress began an agitation for
the removal of the statue on the ground
that it was inappropriate. A resolution
to remove it was smothered for the time
being in committee, thereby relieving the
Wisconsin delegation from considerable
embarrassment
This morning Assemblyman Sweeting
introduced memorial requesting re-
turn of the statue and now there will be
hot fight in the Legislature over the
matter.
The memorial, which will take the
course of an ordinary bill, was sent to
the committee on federal relations. 1t
reads as follows:
