chief efforts of the department were

The fire was fought for several hours,

The United States supreme court yes
terday handed down an opinion in the
case of Adelaide Young ct al. VS.. Jen-
ME Amy, affirming the decision of the
Utah supreme court. The litigation in
volved the heirship to the estate of the
late Oscar A. Amy, consisting of real
property on State street, Salt Lake
City.
The case was originally tried in the
Third district court of the territory
of Utah, which rendered judgment in
favor of the plaintiffs. An appeal to
the territorial supreme court was taken,
and that tribunal, in an opinion writ
ten by Judge W. II. King, reversed the
judgment of the district court and
found the issues in favor of the de-
PENDANT, Mrs. Amy. Judge LIE Grand
Young, counsel for the plaintiffs, then
carried the case to the United States
supreme court, with the result stated.
The property interests in the case
amount to about $4,000.
Mrs. Amy is the widow of the de-
ceased, and her right to inherit was
questioned by the plaintiffs, who are
relatives of Amy, on the ground that
she was not the legal wife of the de-
ceased, the validity of a church" di-
vcrce entering largely into the ques-
ton.

Signs of Married Women.

Among the Germans the badge of a.
married woman consists of little cap
or hood of which they are very proud.
and looming the cap Is a feature of the
wedding day among the peasants of GER
tain localities.
The married women of Little Rupssia
are always seen. even in the hottest
weather. with a thick cloth of dark hue
twisted about their heads. In New
Guinea a young woman let's her hair
hang about her shoulders. but when she
is married this is cut short. Chinese
matrons braid their hair like a helmet
In Wadai the wives color their lips by
tattooing them with the thorns of the
acacia and rubbing them with iron
filings IN parts of Africa the married
women perforate the outer edges OF their
cars and their lips. and stick rows of
grass stalks in them: and among a GER
tain Mongolian tribe of people the
Manthes. the women wear suspended
from their ear a little basket full of cot
ton, to which a spindle is attached.

The strength must be built up by pure

The thousands of wonderful cures it

which no other medicine and no

prove that it has never been

prove that Hoods SarsaparilIa is

the one true blood purifier.
