HE GOT THE GIRL
Love Laughs at Locks and Will Not "Bids
Wee"


Sunday morning the Eagle recited
tale OF ardent but what then seemed un-
successful love from the vicinity Of
Bentley. The couple loved under diff
culties al home. They ran away to
Newton, but were followed. They came
10 Wichita and got the license, but the
parents followed and spoiled the cere-
mony. They all met in lawyers Office
and the young couple consented TO wait
until the girl was 18-a year.
The mother Of the girl took her home
from here and the father tried to get
the license revoked. They went away
and it seemed that for once love could
not laugh at locks. They threw the
young man upon the cold wet ground
and tried to take his license away by
force, and when the certificate came
back it was held together by strips OF
white paper and Pages best liquid glue.
Here is a letter that tells the rest:
Hutchinson. Kan, Oct II, 1897
Mr.. II. T. DERRICK. III South Main
street, Wichita, Kan.
Dear Sir:-I have got the girl all
right and am at Hutchinson visiting. 1
came up TO Bentley last Friday morning
al $50, and she was at the depot wait
ing to see me. She said she promised
Bentley that she would get the license
from me and send it 10 him.
We got away from her folks at about
IL o'clock a. NJ. Went 10 the northwest
corner of the county. found a preacher
and got married. Haven't heard from
home since. Send US your congratula-
tons. We will be here for a few days
yet. Yours truly,

RUMOR ABOUT CAPITALISTS
Reported That the Gentlemen Who Are to
Buy Whittier Plant Arrived Last Night

The article that appeared in Sunday
mornings Eagle about the starting Of

inspec the plant today. Mr.. ]. o. David
son was seen yesterday and he said that
there was no grounds for such rumo!.
In fact, said ne. they have not had time

for this country until October 15 If moth
ing happens, the gentlemen will be mere
about the first of the month, as the
Eagle stated.

FAVORABLE TO HEALTH.
Atheltic Sports Indulged in Wisel,
 and to a Reasonable Extent.

Atheltic Sports Indulged in Wisely
 and to Reasonable Extent.
 Many of the athletic sports if pur- sued for sport or as recreation, are valuable remedial helps and aid toward physical improvement, says the North American Review. Unfortunately, the spirit of emulation in athletics, which in some communities has grown into intense rivalry, is likely to lead to ex- cesses in training and practice for con- tests, which unless checked and brought down to a rational basis may do more harm than good. Many young men seem to think that because the prac- tice of athletics is favorable to health the more they can get of this practice the better. This is an erroneous inn pression for 1t is as possible tooverwork in athletics as it is in business and great many young people do themselves injury by their excessive zeal in the practice of competive exercise
 In this line of physical activity. as in any other, there Is a limit to human capability and it is possible to develop the muscular and nervous systems to the detriment of the heart and lungs or of the digestive system. But the conditions under which athletics are usually practiced are so favorable to the maintenance of health and vigor that few persons who were sound at the time of commencing their athletic efforts have injured themselves by the practice of their vigorous ex- ercises. It is true that certain numb- CT of young men who were distinguished for their supremacy in certain

MUST PAY THE FIDDLER,

The decision of Judge Adams holding the city of Chicago responsible for damages resulting from the great strike and riot of 1894 calls to mind the ex- perience of Pittsburg. In the great railroad riots of 1877 at Pittsburg there was an enormous destruction of prop
 erty by the mob, and under Pennsyl- vania statute giving to the owner of property destroyed by a mob right of action against the county where the property is situated, the Supreme court of that State held that the County of Alleghany was liable for the damages.
 In 1887 the general assembly of Illf- nois passed a similar law, which pro- vides that whenever any building or other real or personal property, except
The daily morning journal and courier., 1897-05-26

property in transit, shall be destroyed or injured in consequence of any mob or riot composed of twelve or more per- sons, the city, or if not In a city, then the county in which such property was destroyed, shall be liable to an action by or in behalf of the party whose prop erty was thus destroyed or Injured for three-fourths of the damages sustained. In the trial before Judge Adams it was agued on behalf of the city that this law is unconstitutional, but the judge held the argument to be untenable. He said: A trial judge should be exceed ingly careful in passing on the validity of any law, and I have borne this in mind, But there does not seem to be any doubt that this law, which makes
 the city liable for damages done by strikers within it's gates, is perfectly sound. I must therefore declare it con- stitutional and award the company just three-fourths of the sum it asks, un-
 der the construction of the law which
 says the municipality shall be respon- sible to just that extent.
 It seems to be a well settled prin- ciple that while municipal corporations are under no common law liability for l the loss of property that may be suf- fered by individuals at the hands of
 riotous mobs, nevertheless the legis- lature may constitutionally pass a law
 making them liable, and regulate the
 mode of assessing the damages.

 The next grade to tailor finish in
 capes is a long ways from it, for be- tween the severe sorts and the very fanciful "cenfections" no compromise exists. These dainty garments are
 made of pretty much everything nice. like the little girl of the nursery rhyme. That pictured here had a cream lace yoke cut into tabs In front and finish ed with fluffy ruches of black chiffon edged with black velvet ribbon. At tached to the yoke were three more ruffles; two of lace between which was third of black chiffon. In the cos-
 tune sketched this cape accompanied a
 dress of black and white striped liberty silk. This was taken diagonally for the skirt, which was trimmed at the
 hem with black silk embroidery. The
 bodice was simple blouse finished with lace trimmed collar and folded
 black satin belt.
 The newest frock coats are handsome
 outer garments. They come to the
 knees or below, the skirts lie flat and close in front, and there is only just enough fulness at the back to prevent drawing. The skirts should be self faced well up, and the lining should be some dark flannel, a dull claret being very stunning. The garment may fast
 en double breasted or not, and it fits front and back easily as any coat should, but it Is not boxed The but tons show and are bone to harmonize with the material, which is a tweed or frieze, and usually is brown or tweed
 mixture. Such a coat is suitable for any practical tailor wear.

A new and important use of alumi- mum has been discovered in the manu- fracture of reproducers for talking ma- chimes. The reproducer is the appara- tus which holds the vibrating dia- phragm of glass. The peculiar sonor- ous quality of aluminium has recently attracted the attention of manufactur- CTS of musical instruments, and exper- aments are being made in various direc- tions in regard to instruments which depend for their musical quality upon the vibratory characteristics of the ma- terial used Heretofore the recorders and reproducers of talking machines have been made as a rule, of hard rub Der. For hard rubber, aluminium has been substituted with what is regarded as much success. It is claimed that the blasting, blaring or "chattering," as it is called in the trade, which is often noticeable in the performance of the talking machine, is almost com pIetely absent when an aluminium re- producer is used.

There is another and pretty serious scandal in connection with the Mixed Tribunal at Cairo, whose proceedings have often been the subject of amazed and angry comment. In this case a native official of high rank had suc- ceeded in getting hold of the estate of a wealthy native, the property being estimated at at least s1,25O000. One of the rightful heirs applied to the Trib- unal to appoint a receiver, and also asked that an inventory should be made of the movable property, which was es- timated at $500, GOO in cash and valua- bles lying in safes at the house of the dead man, and that the Tribunal should take charge of it. The Tribunal ap- pointed as receiver the very man against whom the proceedings were taken, overruling the objection that he was a party to the case as opposing the rlghtful heir, and that grave malprac- tlces were alleged against him. In con- sequence of this affair European judges have been appointed to preside over two of the chambers into which the court is divided.

But it Is not quite as an- cient a relic as many suppose. Many of its jewels were taken from old crowns and some are new jewels ordered by the Queen when the crown was design ed and constructed by Messrs Rundell and Bridge for the Queens coronation in 1888. The crown weighs not quite thirty-nine ounces Troy weight. The Maltese cross in front is made of dia- monds, and in it's center is the ruby which the King of Castle is said to have given to the Black Prince There are 241 pearls in the band, and distrib- nted over the whole crown are 400 dia- ndonds, eight emeralds and fifteen sap- phires.

"Cling with stronger faith To whatever centers Tn eternal truth.p


 No better advice can be given to the Sons of Pilgrim Fathers than that, and those who, not being Sons of Pilgrim Fathers, sing that good advice may well take it themselves. They probably will, for it is thoroughly respectable ad- vice.
 If Hymn No. 2'' may seem to some little narrow in it's history of the Pill grim Fathers and it's advice to their Sons, its optimism and it's theology will seem wide enough to all. In fact, they are both boundless. Though the world seems sleeping" everything is coming out all right, and
 "Creeds are growing broader,
 Doctrines fade from sight;
 More and more we're seeking
 For the Heavenly Light" Doctrines do indeed fade from sight, though the dear children who will be beautifully and piously occupied in singing the new theology are still left Perhaps, though, there is more truth than poetry in Hymn No. g and perhaps the dear children could not be more beautifully and piously occupied than in concentrating all the fervor and the hope of their souls in the glor- ious and thoroughly emancipated chorus:
