A MUcH-McURNED MOTHER.
Col. shnfter Thought Twice I'm One
Month Was Too often for
Her TO Die.

When Shafter was senior colonel Of the
nrmy he was temporarily in charge OF some
western post, and numbered in his com
mand an exceedingly bright, capable fellow
whose cleverness was continually getting
him the noncommission stripes, and whose
escapades wee just as frequently getting
him reduced to the ranks. One day this
soldier turned up at Skaters quarters with
a long face and applied for leave to attend
the funeral of his mother, who had died the
previous night, he said, in the town. The
request was granted, but later on, in looking
over the same records, the colonel disccv.
cred that the same man had been granted
leave the month before on the identical pre-.
text. Shafter said nothing, but a couple
of days afterward encountered the bereaved
warrior on the parade ground. Look here

The people in portions of Africa have
many curious customs and supersti-
tions, and among the former may be
mentioned the fashion of having fat
wives. Being introduced to a great
chiefs wife, Speke thus describes her:
II was struck with the extraordinary
dimensions, yet pleasing beauty of the
immoderately fat fair one. She could
not rise, and so large were her arms
that the flesh between the joints hung
down like large, loose, stuffed puddings.
The chief, pointing toward his wife,
said: This is the product of our milk
pots; from early youth we keep these
pots TO their mouths, as il is the fash
ion at court to have very fat wives.
The daughter of the king sat before me
sucking at a milk-pot, at which the
father had kept her at work by holding
the rod in his hand; for as fattening is
the first duty of their fashionable fem
mime life, ii must be duly enforced by
the rod, IL found necessary. Detroit

case of the village OF Norwood, i'm the
state OF Ohio, VS. Ellen II. Baker in
volving the right OF the village To tax
abutting property for all the improve

this instance the village put a street
through Mrs. Bakers land and taxed
her not only for the land but for the
cost OF condemnation. Justice Harlan
laid down the general proposition that
in such cases abutting property could
be taxed only to the extent that IL was
benefited by an Improvement and that

SECRECY IN DIVORCE CASES.
Judge Rogers Replies 10 Soma Recent Structures
on Method Of Hearing and Granting Petitions.

Hon. Horatio Rogers. justice of the
Supreme Court, whose official duties
compel him TO hear the divorce docket
I'm Providence county, Is evidently in
dignant at the insinuations TO the ef-
feet that New Workers and persons
from other outside cities come To Rhode
Island and have thir cases heard in
secrecy.
Judge Rogers i'm referring To the ut
terances of "A local morning paper, TO
which he takes exceptions, said every
thing is open and above board, and that
the reporters can have all the informa-
ion they want, If they call around at
the court house when the cases are be-
ing ventilated. The judge declares the
Brokaw, Matter and Teal cases from
New York are all correct and proper
as to the court proceedings here. He
says charges that the judges have se-
cretly or privately heard any divorce
cases, where the parties ever lived in
New York or elsewhere are false. and
he says Il unqualiliedly brand them as
such as 20 any divorce case in which /
have sat. The courts of this state are
free and open To all comers so far as
] know, and / have been "A Judge of the
Supreme Court for more than seven

concerned; upon their attendance there
is no compulsion, and upon their de-
parture there is no restraint. As to
how the parties or their counsel may

teams OF his own class; he has had

he was this year assistant manager of

This morning Clark came out with
an open letter to the students of the
university. He says he would have
declined the Office when first nominated
IL he had not been urged to accept on
the ground that this action would de-
lay the election till next term; he ac-
