WEIGHTY BRIDES.

Girls Fattened for the Matrimonial
Market Of Tunis.
Throughout the empire of Morocco
and in Tunis there are villages where
the elder. members of the adult popula-
ton follow professionally. the pursuit
of fattening young ladies for the matri-
monial market of Barbary, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. The Moors,
like the Turks and most other orientals,
give decided preference to the moon
faced" wives over lean ones and are
more solicitous as to the number of
pounds which their brides weigh than
about the stock of accomplishments
they possess.
A girl is put under the process of fat
tening when she is about IL years Of
age. Her hands are tied behind her and
she is seated on a carpet during SO many
hours every day while her papa"
stands over her with matraque, or big
stick, and her mother at times pops into
her mouth a ball Of couscousscu or stiff
maize porridge, kneaded up with grease
and just large enough to be swallowed
without the patient choking.
r If the unfortunate girl declines to be
stuffed she is compelled,so that ere long
the poor girl resigns herself to the tor
ture, and gulps down the boluses lest
she should be beaten.
In Brazil corpulence is also consid-
cred the essential point Of female beau
ty, and the greatest compliment that
can be paid to q Brazilian lady is to tell
her that she grows fatter and fairer
every day. i !. .5z...= q.

Literary Notes.

Henry Altcmus, Philadelphia, announces
for early publicat ton, paul: A Herald OF
the Cross" by Florence M. Kingsley, the
author of the well-known Titus: A
Comrade OF the Cross" and the equally
deservedly praised Stephen: A Soldier
OF the Cross" The phenomenal success
attending the publication OF Mrs. Kings
ley's earlier works induces the belief that
this, her latest book, will create a wide
popular interest more particularly as the
topic is a timely one, owing to the tact
that the International Sunday Schoo
lessons for the second quarter OF 1897
will take up the story Of the great apos-
ties life at the point where Mrs. Kings
ley's narrative begins.

blonde German, with great para
pet of bristling hair rising at the
summit of his forehead. He sits at

his arms on the desk and has his
hands in constant motion with stiff,
but snappy gestures. He is another
enthusiast, 50 marked in contrast
with his colleague, the logical Lieb
mans, who can analyze anidea to its
last clements and make the dryest
hypothesis Juicy. But Eucken sug-
gests, stimulates and inspires his
hearers, and imposes his personality
upon one to a remarkable degree. He
is one Of the strong men in German
philosophy and has recently written
a good deal. He has not been made
known in America by TRANSACTIONS of

degrees under him admire him very
thoroughly.

When William Feathers of San Fer
nando went upon the witness stand in
the township court yesterday and told
how he was buncoed out of $3.50 he told
a curious story. When he commenced
to play the cookies Of his heart were
warmed by winning about $50. He de-
termined to follow his luck in the next
hand. Feathers dealt, and bit little
stack of chips. Davis raised him about
$40 worth of chips. Feathers had on the
table an ace, two jacks, a deuce and an
ace buried. Davis had a king, queen,
a three and four spot, and with his bur-
led card, even if it happened to be a
king, could not beat his opponents
hand. Feathers confessed on the stand
that he thought he had a 'lead-pipe
cinch," and he stacked up his winnings
and lot more. Just then Burke, who
had dropped out of the game, pushed to
the table between Feathers and Davis.

wanted to make a side bet. When he
drew back Feathers found to his sur
prize that Davis buried card was a
tray, and that the four spot had mys-
teriously disappeared and given place to
tray, and these, with the other tray
lying open made the three of a kind
that beat aces and jacks out of sight.
Upon cross examination Feathers
confessed that he had not seen any
"monkeying" with the cards, but the
manner he had indicated was the only
way in which he could explain those
two daisy pairs of his being beaten.
Feathers stated that when his money
was raked in and he signed a check for

it, but Burke. He said he didn't think
he could recognize him, and he was
right, for his attention was directed to-
ward Burke, who sat in the court room.

who was acting as agent Tor Mrs. Creedc,
as White well knew, and to him offered
to suppress all the evidence of the ex-
istence of George vandever and of his
marriage to the present Mrs. Creede. for
the lump sum of $4,000.
1t appears as II Mrs. Creede, what
ever her failings, is not fit subject for
the blackmailer to operate upon. for
through her Los Angeles attorneys she
peremptorily refused to pay one cent.
White then informed Mrs. Creede's Iuka
agent that IL she wouldn't pay he would
impart all he knew to Mr.. Jones for
double the amount, or $4,000, and was
then negotiating with that end in view.
Proceeding to detail what occurred
when her deposition was taken In the
office of Henry T. Gage, Mrs. Creede
claims that Mr.. Gage examined her with
regard to her several marriages from a
letter which he held in his hand. The
letter, she believes, was dated in Octo-
ber, 1897, and signed M. L. White. anu
it gave to Mr.. Jones full data as to the
Vandever episode in her life.
Then, again, when her claim for FAM
lily allowance came before the court in
August, the answer made by Mr.. Jones
admitted the atlantis marriage to the
deceased Nicholas Creole. but at the
hearing Mr. Gage interposed and asked
leave to amend the answer so as to in
sert a denial.
All this being so, Mrs. Creede contends
that when Mr.. Jones says that he had
no knowledge of her private life anterior
to the taking of her deposition. he is in
correct Furthermore, too. it, as
a matter of fact, he had not this
knowledge, it was his own fault.

UNPLEASANT BUT HEALTHY
Another Suit to Recover Damages
From an Irrigation Company

The suit of Latin against the South
Side Irrigation company, to recover
about $4,000 as damages, came to trial
yesterday before Judge Allen and a
jury.
The suit is the third of a series of about
ten that have been instituted against
the defendant corporation to recover
damages for a refusal to supply sewer
age for irrigation purposes. The first
suit was that of Cleland against the
company, tried before Judge York, and
which resulted in a verdict for $1,000.
A motion by the defendant for new
trial is pending. The second suit was
that Of Mrs. Thaxter to recover some
$4,000, tried in Judge Van Dykes depart
ment. 1t resulted in a victory for the
Irrigation company. A motion by the
plaintiff for a new trial is pending. The
present suit is similar to the other, and
will disturb the equilibrium that at
present exists, the company having lost
one suit and won another.
One of the reasons why the irrigation
company refused to supply the sewer
age, as claimed by the defense, was that
it would be menace to health in the
vicinity of Mrs. Lattin's premises. Yes
terday the superintendent of the Pasa-
dena sewerage farm went upon the wit
ness stand and in contradicting this
stated that he had gained fifty pounds
in weight during the five years he had
been connected with the farm.

THE SHIELD REVERSED
Mrs. Louise Creede Has Something to
Say for Herself

All of the phases of the Creede en-
tanglement have gone over by consent
until January 11th. BY that time, doubt
less, the proponents of the will may be
able to produce in court George Van
dever. the alleged undivorced husband
OF Mrs. Creede, whose existence was told
at length in The Herald yesterday; the
petition of Geo. Stewart, Mrs. Creede's
nominee, for letters Of administration
will come up, and Mrs. Creede's petition
for family allowance.
There are two sides to every case, and
one is indubitably strong until the other
side is heard from. The facts bearing
upon Mrs. Creede's many marriages
were made the basis of motion by John
I. Jones for continuance, he alleging
that those facts had not come to his
knowledge until November when the
deposition of Mrs. Creede was taken, and
= her marital experiences revealed. Mrs
Creede through her attorneys, has
made answer to that affidavit by Il
counter affidavit which clearly indi-
Gates that the lady is able to look out
for herself.
She emphatically denies that Mr
Jones was ignorant of the matters set
up by him previous to the time her
deposition was taken, or that he can
establish any facts material to the case
by the production of George Vandever,
or her sister and brother-in-law, Elvira
White and NJ L. White. The affiant
claims that her supposititious marriage
with Vandever must have been within
his knowledge for considerable time.
for M. L. White corresponded with Mich
olas c. Creede before the latters death,
and intimated that he could prove that
his wife-the af1iant-had been married
to man yet living. At that time a di-
vorce suit was pending by Nicholas c.
.Creede against the affiant, and Mr..
Jones being Creede's attorney must
have known of Whites communication
as the purport of the suit was to have
the marriage annulled if possible. Fur
thermore, Mrs. Creede claims that Mr.
Jones must have been acquainted with
these facts for at least three months,
because M. L. White approached an at
torney doing business at Iuka, Miss,

A SWITCH RAIL
Is the Cause Of Damage Suit for
$4,000

An action to recover $4,000 has been
begun by M. Hilton Williams and Hattie
Williams, his wife, against the Terminal
Railway company.
The son of the plaintiffs was in the
employ of the defendant corporation as
a brakeman and worked in the switch
yard at East San Pedro. 1t is claimed
that the defendant negliently permitted
a guard rail- to remain in the switch
yard without being filled in and without
any appliances for protection to the
employees so as to prevent their feet
being caught.
Young Williams was so caught on
November 30, 1895, and, failing to get
his foot loose, was run over by the cars
