TO ASSIST YOUNG WARRIORS
Now Plan to Obtain Funds to Send to
Americans In Cuba.

There has been new plan formulated
whereby funds may be obtained 10 send
money TO the young Americans who have
gone to Cuba from the United States to
assist the insurgent forces in their strug-
gle for liberty. The plan is not anything
very new or original but is simply to sell
buttons at 10 cents each 10 syrnpathiZers
of the Cubans. The button is no idiotic
motto affair nor a picture of some
volumptious beauty calculated to
inspire sympathy, but simply a rel
Roman cross upon which rests Cuban
flag. Mr.. o. A. Boyle received one yes
terday from a friend in Kansas City, to-
gether with an explanatory letter. The
money thus obtained is to be sent 10
young Americans now with the insur-
gent forces, and especially those in the
hospitals.

OLD MARRIAGE LAWS.

There are many curious features about
the laws of marriage as administered un-
der our early Anglo Saxon and Danish
Kings, traces of which have survived In
our existing jurisprudence. BY the An
gIo-Saxon laws, every woman was under
the care OF some man, who was termed
her mundbora, or guardian; and no one
could marry her without having first
paid sum OF money as compensation
to her mundbora.
The father, of course, was the guar
dian OF his unmarried daughters; the
brother II the father died; and next to
him the nearest male relative; If, how
ever, the female were friendiess and
alone, she found in the King her legal
guardian. There were no runaway
matches, no eiandestine and romsntic
nuptiais, among the Saxon people they
did everything, even to their very love
affairs, In a plain, matter-of. fact way;
they estimated the value of the maid
according to her rank in life, and the
law fixed the sum which should be re-
garded "a a legai-tender TO satisfy the
avarice of her guardians The first step
In courtship, therefore, was 70 buy the
consent of the mundhora: the lover was

course as his wife. II, however, her |
