DIVORCED A COUNTESS.
Dakota Court Grants a Decree to a
Spanish Lady Who Stands
High at Home.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. IA special
to the Journal from Fargo, n. D., says:
Saturday night States Attorney Fred
Morrill, secured divorce for dis
tinguished Spanish lady. Cruelty was the
grounds upon which the decree was Sc
cured and there was no fight made in the
suit by her husband The plaintiff was
Countess Marie de la Concepcionade la
The defendant was Juan c. Gobely
Fernandez. They were married at Mad
rid in March, 1892, and the event was
one of the social successes of the sea-
son.
The lady belongs to one Of the oldest
and wealthiest families in Spain and owns
large estates in both Cuba and Spain. Min
lister WOOdfOrd of the United States re-
sides in one of her houses at Madrid, and
the lady is second in rank and wealth only
to the family of the premier. She came
here several months ago, accompanied by
maid and seems to have had a mortal
fear of publicity. She has scarcely left
her hotel since coming here except to 60
to her attorneys office. After her sepa-
ration from her husband, two years ago,
she spent some time in Florida before de-
Gliding to come here for a divorce.
There are some interesting papers in the
suit, and a large number are on stamped
paper and countersigned by number of
officials and by the United States repre-
sentatives at Madrid and Havana. One
notably interesting document is the pro-
test of the Catholic bishop, DR.. Manuel
Santander Frutos of Havana. He sent
the attorneys for the plaintiff long articles
stating his objections to the decree being
granted, but, as this was out of his see,
it does not seem to have affected the re-
suit. His protest was at the solicitation
Of the husband who hated to be separated
from SO much wealth. The countess will
remain here ior some time until she can
arrange her future plans.

DEATH OF JOSEPH P. SMITH
Man Who was Recently Made Dr.
rector Of the Bureau Of Amer
lean Republics.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Joseph P.
Smith, director of the bureau of Ameri-
can republics died at Manu. Fla, at
4:4O o'clock this morning of heart failure.
He had been well-known in Ohio politics
for many years before coming to Wash
ington on the Inauguration of Mckinley
as President. For many years he had
published Republican newspapers in
Ohio towns and had espoused Mckinley
and the Republican tariff.
After McKinley's defeat as q member
of Congress from the Canton district by
reason of a gerrymander, he Immediately
put the Presidents name at the heads
of the columns of his paper for the Re
publican nomination for governor. When
Mr.. Mckinley was elected Mr.. Smith
was chosen state librarian. He and the
President were intimate friends political
~ and personally and when Mr. McKin-
ley was inaugurated he rendered Mr..
Smith the Office he held at the time of his
death

MAKE NO REPLY.
State Department Has Received No
important Communication
from SagaSta.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 7.-Inquiry at
the state department develops the fact
that no instructions additional to those
under which he was acting in relation to
the termination of the war in Cuba have
been sent to Minister Woodford, and
when he presented an additional note to
the Spanish foreign Office last Saturday.
as has been reported. he was simply car
rying out the instructions from the Presi-
dent of which the latter gave an abstract
in his annual message to Congress when
it assembled in December last. 1t is not
believed that there have been any steps
of great Importance in the negotiations or
that Senior Sagasta has made an impor
tant communication in answer to Minister
WoodfOrd, else the latter would have ca
bled the fact to the state department and
so far it is said nothing of the sort has
been done

MRS. BOWERS RETURNS.
End of a Runaway Marriage Contracted

Chicago. ILL.,, Feb. Mrs. Blanche
Barrett Bowers, the daughter of Charles
T.. Barrett. the board of trade man. who
was married a few months ago to her
actOr-husband in Milwaukee, has re-
turned to the parental home, and the
tongues of the gossipS in the elite south
side society have been busy repeating stO-
ries Of a probable separa ton between the
Ching young wife and her theatrical
spouse.
AS all of Mrs Barrett Bowers ac-
quaintances know, she eloped with her
ideal to milwaukee,, where the nuptial
knot was tied without the knowledge of
her parents. Mrs. Bowers is a young
woman of determination. \ young girl
friend who resides in Prairie avenue and
the romantic Miss Barrett had planned,
so the story goes, to run away with two
actors who seemed desirable husbands in
the eyes of the infatuated girls. At the
last moment the friend lost courage and
abandoned her matrimonial plans. But
Miss Barrett felt in honor bound to get
married and she did. Mr.. and Mrs Bow
ers travelled East and spent a greater part
Of the time in Boston.
Shortly after their marriage the groom
became possessed of the green-eyed mon

her friends are true, he was insanely jeal-

The Fear OF Death.

Man occupies in view Of death a situa-
ton that is peculiar, for ne is probably
the only being that knows he has to die.
The battle against death spurs an i'm
mense number of men to study and work ;,
and all the great intellectual and moral
creations in art religion and science have
been produced under the influence of the
feelings excited by the certainty of that
event. Yet the psychology of the ideas
and emotions relative to death is still to
be constructed. =
Man is not normally preoccupied with
the thought of death. While he is in full
vigor of health and strength he is not
afraid of it and takes little heed of it.
The idea that he will have to die some
day rarely enters his mind, and when it
does present itself it is so vague and re-
lates to an event SO uncertain as to the
time when it will occur that no distress
is produced by it. This inertia of the
thought Of death in the strong man fol-
lows from the important agency exercised
by organic sensations in determining the
psychical condition. We know that not
only exterior phenomena acting on the
sensorial organs that are directed to the
outer world produce sensations in US, but
changes of condition originating in the or
ganism itself are also accompanied by
sensa tons. The parts Of the body that
are by their situation withdrawn from
the direct influence of external agents
possess a special sensitiveness through
which we perceive their changes of condi-

WILL MAKE NO RULE.
PoStoffice Employees Must be Dis
Greet in Their Political
Movements.

Chicago, H., Feb. 7.-Postmaster
Gordon today received letter from First
Assistant POstmaster-General Heath in
regard to what action employees of the
postal service would be allowed to take
in political questions.
The communication stated that the de-
partment had no special rule in such mat
ters and that they preferred not to make
any. Mr.. Heath said, however, that
there would be no objection to the en-
plOyes asserting their political rights, but
there might be an objection to the man
ner in which these rights were asserted.
He stated that it was the object of the
department to do everything possible for
the good of the department, and that
nothing would be done to hinder the car
rying out of that object.
Some time ago John L. Manning. presi-
dent Of the Union Veteran club, addressed
communication to Postmaster Gordon,
asking what liberties the employees would
be allowed in political affairs. The post
master referred the matter to the depart
ment at Washington

WHAT QUEEN WILL SAY.
Forecast of the British SoVereign's

m6nt.

London, Feb THE following is a
forecast of the speech from the throne to
be read at the opening of Parliament to-
morrow:
Referring to China. the Queen will
speak favorably of the pacific relations be-
tween the powers, and will then point out
the satisfaction experienced at the con-
clusion of the treaty of peace between
Greece and E;rkey.
Dealing with India, complimentary al
lusions will be made to the valor and loyal
ty of the British Indian troops. There will
be a lengthy reference to the West In
dies and the governments intentions as
outlined by the secretary of the state for
the colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, and the
speech Will then express the hope that
the international sugar conference will
have satisfactory results.

voted to the army needs, and the chief
bills promised will be local government

ties bill, providing, as announced by the

MARVELLOUS MUSICIAN.
Only Six Years Old, but She is Certainly
(enius


Genius.
The question, is music born in people,
seems to have been answered by little
Lulu Espach Of 512 West Seventh street
Cincinnati, o. When she was a baby of
six months the only thing that would
quiet her was music. Now, years old.
she is capable of sitting at the piano and
playing any music she hears Strangest Of
all the child cannot read music.
While playing the instrument the little
one never looks at the keys, but gazeS up
ward as if inspiration came to her from
above. Still, she has no great fondness
for classical music, although she will play
it as readily as any other She best likes,
her parents say, Sousa's music, although
that is only a present fad, as from time
to time she, like others much older, has
new favorites
Not long ago she was with her parents
at the house of a friend when someone OF
the guests played a Beethoven sonata.
One of the ladies present said to Lulu
that there was something she could moi
play. The child insisted that she could
and begged permission to do so. This
being granted, she sat down at the instru
ment and played this most difficult music
from beginning to end without an error.
1t cannot be said that she has a taste
for any particular line of music, but that
is probably because she is SO young
Though but years of age she appears to
be much older. Very many musicians
have been to see her and each of them
has said that she has a remarkably ac-
curate ear and a touch that is deHcacy 1T

GOOD REPORTS FROM ALASKA.
But the Territory is Already Over
crowded.

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 5.-The steam
ship Coquitlan which recently struck on
a rock near Mary island, off the south
west coast of Alaska while bound north,
has arrived here direct from Skaguay,
bringing direct news of affairs in the
northern territory. The news that many
strikes had been made on the Big Salmon
is confirmed by a party who came out
for supplies. Pay dirt yielding 30 cents
to the pan has been discovered in the
gravel above bedrock, which at last re
ports had not been reported. On Hen
derson creek, five miles below the Stew
art, good strikes have been made. 1t il
likely the stream will prove rich in gold.
Latest reports from the interior of
Alaska are especially encouraging. Mi
nook river and it's tributaries as well as
scores of other streams in that region
promise to surprise the world, says a re-
turned prospector, in the next year and
all the United States will rejoice.
1t is now generally conceded that the
winters clean up will cot be more than
$1O,000.00O.
The Coquitlan passed twenty steamers
bound for Skaguay. 1t is reported that
Skaguay is already overcrowied and that
work is scarce.

HE WARNS REPORTERS.
Judge Woodward Talks Plainly TO
Lawyers and to Falsifying
Newspapers.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 7.-Hundreds
of persons, anxious to hear what action
Judge Woodward would take in reference
to the sensational outbreak on Saturday
between Attorneys Garman and Lenahan,
opposing counsel in the Lattimer shooting
case, thronged the courtroom today.
J. G. Woodward spoke of the incident
of Saturday, saying that, after he had
left the bench and before court adjourned,
an alteration had arisen between two of
the lawyers engaged in the trial, which
the court did not fully hear, nor realize
the words used until tney were seen in
the newspapers Had we heard" said
the judge, what was said, we should
have dealt with the lawyers in a sum-
mary manner as the affair so deserved,
and If there is a repetition of it we shall!
punish the guilty parties for contempt OF
court"
Then came a severe denunciation of the
sensationalism of certain newspapers, in
endeavorlng, as the court said, to prevent
justice by an eXaggeratiOn of the facts
and incidents of the trial. He would, he
said, not mention any names at present,
but II the astounding falsehoods and mis-
representations continue, the representa-
tives of the papers will find the door of
the court closed to them
The first witness today was Slias
Jones, justice of the peace of West Ha-
zleton. He stated that he had seen the
meeting of the deputies and strikers at
West Hazleton and followed the deputies
to Lattimer. He saw Sheriff Martin adj
vance toward them with a paper in his
hand. Some of them surrounded him
and an alteration occurred, but the wit
ness could not see exactly how the al
tercation commenced or how it termi-
mated. He heard couple Of shots and
then a volley, and saw several men fall.
Two who fell near him were dead. Hewas
asked what the spectators said after the
shooting. The defense objected.
After listening to all the arguments the
court sustained the objection, thus shut
ting out the evidence. This is regarded
as an important point gained for the de-
Tense.
Just before the noon adjournment the
court accepted bail for all the acc--~9G
deputies and the sheriff in the amount of
$4,000 IN each case, making $402. 900 in
bail. Bail was furnished by the Philadel-
phia Surety company.

Money t. Burn in Kansas.

In the state of Nebraska and in other
states of the Middle West the loan bust
ness, as it was formerly conducted, is
over. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars of Eastern money have been sent
back since last fall because there was
no market for it. Only recently a bank
official in Central New York received let
ters of inquiry from Kansas asking as tC
the value of certain investments Some
persons in Kansas had money to lend il
the East. 1t is q fact beyond dispute
that Western mortgages are being PAID
off far in advance of maturity. One
agent of loan company told me that
from the West alone returns on unma-
tured loans were coming in at his Office at
the rate of $4,000 a week faster than
he could put out the money again. He said
he was simply sending back all the East
ern money that was coming to him. He
could not find a market even for his
Western money.-Harper's Weekly
