Under American military law, all
the stores in Havana were closed last
Sunday-though they had been open
before every Sunday for the last four
hundred years, but under civil law
iu Chicago, on the same day, twenty
seven thousand people spent the en-
tire evening in witnessing a baseball
game, most of them betting on its re-
suit. No wonder American WAYS af-
ford good deal of amusement to IN
telligent foreigners.
Isle of Wight county is wildly tx
cited over the murder of an unknown
white man whose body was found on
the Norfolk x Western tracks. The
cOroner's jury returned a verdict of
murder. Three negroes are in Jail
closely guarded. Two are charged
with murder. and the third is held AS
a witness. The stranger was dubbed
TO death.

TOO MUCH FATHER AND BROTHER


Five years of married life and the love
borne by his wife for her father and
brother were more than George Smith,
t~wenty-three years old, of No. 1888 Nor
ris street, could bear. He, therefore,
abandoned his wife and two small chill
dren. He was arrested last night on COM
plant of Poormaster Hewitt who charged
him with abandonment.
On the stand his morning in the First
Criminal Court said his wife frequently
gave money, which he earned, to her
father and brother, who are out of work
and have made their home with him for
some time. Smith testified that his wife
would not allow his step-brother to en-
ter the house.
Mrs. Smith testified that her husband
did not give her enough money to live
on, let alone sufficient to keep her father
and brother in spending money.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith on the advice OF
Justice Nevin patched up their little diff
culties and decided to try to get along
together. Justice .Nevin paroled Smith
in his wife's custody for two weeks.
