OhiO's Board of Marriages.
Chicago Times-Herald.

Chicago Times-Herald.
Ohio's new plan for county board
of marriages seems chimerical enough
to have come from Kansas. And yet
it is based on the soundest of princi-
pies, and will fail of adoption none
the less certainly on that account.
Representative Parker proposes to
refuse marriage licenses whenever
either party to the proposed contract
suffers from dipsomania, kleptomania,
insanity, blood diseases or tubercu-
losis. Each county is to have board
of three physicians, whose decisions
must be final.
Mr.. Parker of Ohio might go furth-
er without posterity faring any worse.
The board of marriages might be
authorized to refuse license to men
who fail to pay their bills and to
women who scold 1t might be q
good thing to require proof that the
dppllCduu udNi Coll uCd III Vic 4eeou cal
enough money to live on, and had
saved out Of it at least the price of
cook stove.
Keeping in view the experience of
Representative Griffith, Mr. Parker's
fellow assemblyman, the board of
marriages should refuse license in
cases where it appeared the woman
might go to the legislature on her
husbands certificate of election.
And in cases where the man appeared
likely to disregard instructions-cop
jugal or political-license should GER
tainly be refused.
The scheme broadens as one views
it. But Mr. Parkers plan has fatal
defect. 1t does not require that the
board of marriages be composed of
married men. Fancy rejected suit
or sitting on that board, able to pun
ish his charmer with single blessed
ness forever, and to wreck his ven
geance on rivals with more than
Nero's cruelty.
Let the boards be of married men,
Mr.. Parker-if there be three in each
county who can pass the examination.

GOOD EVIDENCE FOR lola.
Gave Very Damaging Testimony Against
Superior Officers.

PARIS, Feb. 12.-"There are several
ways of serving France" cried Emile
lola to General Pelleux as the latter left
the witness stand. "You, general, made
your campaigns, but will perpetuate to
posterity the name of Emile lola and
posterity will be my judge"
Colonel Picquart, who testified, was
the best witness for lola yet. His evil
dence was very damaging to his superior
officers and favorable to Dreyfus, and
it also show cd him to have been the vic
tim of persecution since he began his
endeavor to probe the truth At tn
conclusion of his evidence Colonel Pic
quart met with AN enthusiastic recep-
ton from the public.
The higher military authorities were
visibly annoyed at the effect of Colonel
Picquarts testimony.

CAPTAIN RAYS REPORT.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-The war de-

received from Captain P. H. Ray Of the
Eighth infantry, who was sent to Alaska
to report on conditions in the mining
country The reports embrace a period
running slom Oct. 3 to Nov. and are
dated from Circle City and Fort Yukon.
They STOW very serious state Of
affairs, that trouble is threatened at var
ious places and that there is serious dam
2er ut some eoints Of lack Of food owing
IN lag /, ere to the failure of the
tran "fa .n companies to get in suffi-
cent optics.
Ins eprt dated Circle City, Oct. 8,
Captain Ray recommends, should the
Department decide to eSl ablish post on
the upper river, that the mouth of Mis-
sio9 or American creek be chosen as the
site. with 4 sub-post, if necessary, at
Gre! City. On the food Question he
says:
"fhe question of food here is very
Scr CHS one, and the action of the Ma
tional Alaska Trading and Transporta-
ton company is causing much friction.
l use ms best endeavors to reconcile all
differences peaceably and get all people
who are without provisions down to
Fort Yukon as soon as possible, where
there is an abundance of food. | learn
that while food is scarce in Dawson
City, the miners in the outlying camps
are fairly well supplied. The stores,
(twe) are selling very conservatiyely."
"Froln what [ have learned from
mine owners and prospectors, am fully
satisfied that the greater part of the
gold belt lies in our teleitory, along the
range known as the Upper Ramparts.
"a railroad from the head of Cook S
inlet, or Prince William s sound, to the
mouth Of the Tanannah, from which
point supplies could be delivered by
light draught steamers along the nayi-
gable tributaries of the Yukon, will Sc
cure to our people the commerce of this
whole country. 1t would give route
to the open sea that could be operated

citizens here, [ most respectfully recon-
mend that the government make pre-
liminary survey of the route named"

Not Likely Any Trouble viii Now Arise

Not Likely Any Trouble Will Now Arise
Over De Lome's Letter.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The personal
incident growing out of the publication
of Senior Dupuy De Lome's letter to
Senior Canalajas may be regarded as set
tied. This has been brought about by
the short cablegram sent by Minister
Woodford from Madrid, in which he
stated that the minister had resigned
and his resignation had been accepted
before he Mr.. Woodford) presented the
request of the United States that he be
recalled. The officials here feel AN in
terest III learning the details of the hap
penings in Madrid, and are waiting for
Mr.. Woodford's promised full report.
But, unless this should contain some
statement that is not now expected
there is no disposition on the part of the
government to protract the closing of
this unpleasant incident, and it is not
expected that anything in the nature of
a demand for an apology will be made
If a graceful disclaimer should come,
that will be taken in the spirit in which
1t Is made; otherwise the matter will be
dropped and the relations between the
state department and the Spanish lega-
ton will run smoothly once more
through the medium of Senior Du Bose,
the first secretary and now charge d at
flares It can be said for the present
that he shows little personal concern in
the matter as it stands, and is not dis
posed to pursue Mr.. De LONE in any
personal spirit, and with this spirit in
the head of the administration the end
Of the affair may be said to have been
reached.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-As the repre-
sentative Of Spain, Senior Don Juan Du
Bose has called at the state department
and presented in writing the notifica-
ton Of the Spanish government that
the resignation Of Senior Enrique Du-
puy De LONE had been accepted and
that Senior Du Bose was deputed to rep

was merely formal, giving the facts of

office. For the present he asked to be
excused from discussing Spanish affairs.
AT the cabinet meeting the president
briefly gave a summary of the CORES
pondence that has taken place ND to this
moment respecting the retirement of
Mr.. De LONE, and remarked that it
would be necessary to await this report
The matter was not discussed in any
phase after this explanation Of its status
| by the president. Assistant Secretary
Day also made the same statement when
asked whether the incident could be re-
garded as closed so far as our govern
ment was concerned.
While this is the necessary course to
be followed so long as Mr.. Woodford
has promised TO report, there is every in
dlcation that the state department. de-
slres an early termination of the matter,
to which Mr.. Woodford is expected to
cable what he has to say in addition to
his farewell message. 1t is scarcely ex-
pected that he will have anything ma
terial to add, except perhaps, an explain
alton of the reason why his note failed
to reach the Spanish government before
it had accepted the resignation of the
minister.
United States Minister Woodford gave
banquet this evening to the diplomatic
corps. Senior Gullon, the foreign min
lister, and Senior Moret, the colonial
minister, were present. Senior Gullon,
questioned by newspaper men on the
subject, said that Senior Dupuy De
Lome's successor would soon be nomi-
mated.

successor will be Senior Louis Polo Ber-

formerly represented Spain in the
