THE FADS OF MEN.
Many of Them Wear Bracelets and
Bangles.


Women are not the only faddists. Men,
too have their crazes for various arti-
Giles. Bracelets or bangles are often
their within. In no respect do they diff
fer from those worn by women. with
the possible exception that they are a
trifie lighter in weight and larger. As q
rule. the bracelets for men are made
TO fit the wrists snugly. and they are
partly concealed by the cuffs.
Men wear these baubles for years with
out removing them. Doubtless il is SEN
timent that prompts them to do so. A
number of Washington men wear bang
les both of gold and silver. They were
quite conspicuous last summer on the
golf links. and they certainly looked out
of place and rather foolish. Ii was no'
uncommon on the bathing beach last
season to see stalwart. athletic men with
chains and lockets about their bronzed
throats Several wore lockets of color

of these do turn the locks of escritoires

CLIPPERToN CLAIMS
The Little Island Claimed by San

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 11.-James L. Blythe,
st. Louis representative of the Oceanic
Phosphate company, operating on Clip
perton island, where, on December 14th
last marines from the Mexican cruiser
Democratic landed and hauled down the
American flag, is in the city. He says:
''The Oceanic Phosphate company is a
San Francisco corporation. The COM
pany's claim to the island is all right.
Mexico has no territorial claim on 1t,
Clipperton is American by right of dis
covery and peaceable occupation.
Clipperton island could be made an
ideal naval and coal station, command
ing any canal that might be cut through
the isthmus of Panama and also the
trade of the Sandwich islands. 1t is now
the property of the Oceanic Phosphate
company Of San Francisco. This COM
pany keeps a little garrison of from
eight to ten men on the island all the
time. 1t is estimated that there are
100000 tons of high-grade guano ON the
island, worth SIG ton"

Stopped the Marriage

STOCKTON, Jan. 11-A message from
Chief of Police Lees of San Francisco was
received here today just in time to pre-
vent County Clerk Grunsky from issuing
marriage license to Hend Rahy to wed
Mageep Maluff. The first-named is the
would-be bride. She explained that her
prospective husband did mot come up be-
cause he could not speak English. She
gave her age as 10 and his as "a, and said
they were natives of Asia, though they
hailed from San Francisco at present
Before the license was made out it was
learned that there ws a message in the
police office from San Francisco to the
effect that the girl was under age. She de-
clared she was of age, however, saying
she would be 20 next month. The indica-
tions are that the girls story Is correct,
and that her stepmother had the message
sent to stop the marriage.

THE DIVORCE LAW
The First Case Decided Sustains the
Act

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Jan. 11.-Superior
Judge Dougherty today rendered de-
cision in the famous case of Mrs. Susaii
Baker against County Clerk Fulton In
which is involved the validity of the
new marriage license law. Mrs. Baker
who had been divorced within a year,
applied with M. McDonough Of Geyser-
vile for license, which County Clerk
Fulton refused to issue because of the
legal restriction. Thereupon Mrs. Bak-
er began mandamus proceedings tu
compel the county clerk to issue the
license. Judge Dougherty has decided
in favor of the county clerk. In his de-
cision the court fully reviews the case,
quotes from several decisions and after
finding that divorce granted within
the prescribed time is a disability, says
that so long as such disability exists to
grant license would relieve the appli-
cant of such disability which would be
inconsistent with the law
