JAPANESE SENSATION.
Leading Christians Renounce the
Faith and Return to Their Gods.

Tacoma, Wash. May "A sensation has
been caused in Japan by the withdrawal
from Christianity of three leading ortho-
dox Christians. Their action has given
the cause of Christianity a great setback
in Japan. Likewise the present wave of
japanese liberalism. The most notable
case is that of Rev. Paul Kanimori, for

shrewdest business men of Toxic and a

The circumstances of his own courtship
and marriage are identical, though the
former Mrs. Henry Sloane's connection
with the Vanderbilt family is more remote,

HAVE THE "PINK EYE"
= Disease Peculiar to Horses Now
Prevalent Among the People
of Delaware, Ohio.

Delaware, O., May 3.-For the last
six weeks a large number of children
of this city have been affected with a
peculiar disease of the eyes, which.
from it's symptoms, has been diagnosed
as "pink-eye,'' being exactly similar to
the disease of the same name frequent
1y prevalent among horses.
The disease has not confined itself to
children alone, but has in many instan-
ces affected adults, the cases increas-
ing in number within the last week.
The lids of the eyes become inf1amed,
as does also the mucous membrane
which lines the lids, the eyes are in
1ected for several days, taking on a pc
culiar pink color, from which the dis
ease derives it's name. Pus is dis
charged for several days, and from this
characteristic the disease is contagious
The patient, however, remains in all
other respects well and is not serious

Nebraska Populist Officials Have
Taken a Decided Stand.

Lincoln, Neb., May 3.-The Populist

general and state superintendent, serv-

Republicans, appointed by the senate
last month to investigate their official
conduct for the last two years and the
four-year term of Governor Holcomb.
that they would resist to the uttermost
any attempt of the committee to per-
form it's work.
They say that their books are open to
the public for inspection, but that they
do not recognize this committee as
clothed with any more powers than a
committee of private citizens, and that
they will refuse to obey any summons
to appear or produce papers or books.
Chairman Prout of the committee said
last night that the committee would go
ahead within the next few weeks and
test the question.
The committee was appointed by the
senate only, and that body appropria-
ted $4,000 for it's expenses. The COVER
nor vetoed this appropriation on con-
stitutional grounds, and this, it was
thought, would kill off the investiga-
ton. The Republican state central
committee will foot the bill, however.

Gov. Bushnell of Ohio Favors His Men
With Ten Per Cent Advance.

Springfield, o., May 3.-Announcement
was made today of a raise of 10 per cent
in the wages of the employees of the War

ODDLY TANGLED.
A Lawsuit Reveals a Story of
Three LiAes
That Is Remarkable - Reads
Like Fiction.
GAVE UP HUSBAND
Also Permitted Him to Marry
Another Woman
There Was No DivOrce-Death
Starts the Shit

Binghanton, N. Y, May ga suit
which Mrs. Charles C. Ackley of Sa-
binville, Tioga county, has just begun
to recover a portion of her late hus-
bands estate reveals a story which
reads more like fiction than the reve-
lation of an episode in real life.
In her complaint Mrs. Ackley admits
that after marrying the late Charles c.
Ackley she not only condoned in him
the offense of openly falling in love
with another woman, but actually of
her own volition stepped aside and
gave her rival the place which under
the law she alone was entitled to fill.
1t is alleged by the defendants that
she even did more than that. When it
became obvious that her husbands
happiness depended upon the birth of
an heir, the wife not only permitted
him to marry another woman, but was
actually present at the ceremony.
Mrs Ackley's maiden name was JeS-
sic Ham bin, and she was married to
Mr.. Ackley in February, 1893. The GER
emory took place in the office of DR..
William Wey, and was performed by
Justice of the Peace James H. Hardy.
After the marriage she and her hus-
band lived in Elmira, but Mr.. Ackley
was frequently called to Sabinville. APP
parently, as result of these absences,
Mrs. Ackley noticed that her hus-
bands love for her was obviously on
the Wane. she soon discovered LnaC
the cause of this was Miss Mary Hig-
gins.
Without any scene, and apparently
in perfectly amicable way, Mrs. Ack-
ley called her husband to account. He
frankly admitted that he did not love
her, and that he did love Miss Higgins.
Mrs. Ackley faced this crisis in her
domestic life with the utmost philoso-
ply. She told her husband that she
was willing to step aside and give Miss
Higgins her place by his side. The de-
PENDANTS in the present lawsuit relate
that Mrs. Ackley was even present at
the ceremony when her husband and
Miss Higgins were married.
Later on a charge was made that
Ackley was a bigamist, but he died
year ago last February, and that end
ed the controversy SO far as he was
concerned.
Now that it has come to a division Of
Ackley's estate, amounting to $50, 900,
the two wives are lined up on opposite
sides of one of the most curious law
suits ever brought into court. Mrs.
Ackley asserts her rights as Mr.. Ack-
1ey's widow and attacks the marriage
with Miss Higgins as null and void
BY his first wife Ackley had no chill
dren. BY his second wife he had a son,
whose interests, as well as his moth
er's, are gravely involved in the issue
of the pending suit.

RICH NEWSBOY MISSING.
Belief That Johnny Hamilton, of
Princeton, Has Been kidnapped.

New York, May 3.-It is rumored at
Princeton that Johnny Hamilton, the
college newsboy there who fell into
big fortune a few days ago, has been
kidnapped. When last seen he was on
his way to Trenton with $4,000 and it
is said that he went to one of the larg-
est diamond stores in town.
The story in circulation is that some
men about town gave Johnny knock
out drops and then carried him off into
captivity. 1t is thought that they will
not let him go until all his money is
spent.
Uncle Potter" who reared the news
boy, is greatly afraid he is in bad
hands. The Potter residence is besieg-
ed by men who want to sell things to
the fortunate young newsboy. He re-
ceives circulars from matrimonial
agencies and from Wall street brokers,
who tell him how he can double his
wealth in a, few minutes if he wants to.
Several elderly ladies have offered to
marry him and take him into exclusive
society, but Johnny says he does not
want to enter it as long as 1t as con-

NOVEL SKIN GRATING.
Arm Burned to the Bone is Saved by
the Flesh of the Sufferer.

Fond du Lac, Wis. May ga wonder
full case of skin grating is that of Jas.
Crowley, who was burned some six
weeks ago. By the upsetting of a lamp
his father was burned to death and in
his efforts to save his father, the young
er Crowley had the flesh burned from
one of his arms. He was taken to the
hospital and as the means of saving
the arm and perhaps his life, DR.. Con-
nell informed his patient that he must
take skin from his lower limbs for
grating his arm.
The patient was placed under the in
fuence of morphine and for nearly two
hours the operation was in progress.
Pieces of skin an eighth of an inch in
width and from a foot to a foot and a
quarter in length were taken from his
legs and used on the arm. After ten
days the patient was declared out of
danger and the arm, which was burn
ed to the bone, is almost well now.

BERNHARDT AS HAMLET.
Rehearsal of Her Presentation of the
PLAY Pronounced a SUCCESS.

Paris, May 3-Sarah Bernhard today
gave a private rehearsal of her new pre-
sentation of Hamlet in which she takes
the title role. There is much to be said
for her acting, and in her trunk, hose and
doublet she impresses one very much as
did Edwin Booth. The play, judging from
sensation, Mile. Bernhardt showed her
adaptability to the part, and the transla-
ton of the play by Marcel Shawbs is
without doubt the best that has been
made. The play is not cut in a single
part or scene.
One thing that was remarkable was the
duel between Hamlet and Laertes over
Ophelia'S body. Mile. Bernhard handled
her foil like a fencing master. she having
been drilled by her son, Maurice, who was
educated at the government military
school a Saint Cyr. Throughout the play
the few who were privileged witnesses
were held in rapt admiration by the man
ner in which the whole play was pre-
scented.
