Since the passage of the True marriage
law the glory of Milwaukee as an elop-
ers' paradise has been dimmed. The
Graham & Morton line perfected ar
rangements for a reduction in marriage
licenses at st. Joseph, Mich, to 81, with
a preacher at the wharf at the peach
city, Before leaving Chicago sweet
hearts can telegraph ahead for licenses
and their publication will be deferred
Indefinitely. County Clerk Needham
of st. Joseph has made an agreement
with the steamship line to expedite this
new feature of the lake excursion bus
mess. The preachers and justices OF
the peace of st. Joseph have already
entered into competition for the cham
pionship of the season on tying the
nuptial knot. The Graham & Morton
line will also extend the same induce
ments to patrons on it's new Waukegan
branch, so that clippers can have their
choice of Waukegan or st. Joseph.
The Goodrich line does not propose
to submit to this menace to it's pas
senger business to Milwaukee. The
whaleback will have a bridal cabin
this season, and the promenade deck
will be widened. If General Manager
Davis plan to have a preacher on
board to perform the marriage ritual
in mid-lake is legal, Cupid can laugh at
the True marriage law.

TO EVADE TRUE BILL.
Chicago Excursion Boat Companies
Plan to Help Marriages.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 7.-Marine mar
riages, free of charge, are likely to be
popular among Chicagoans this sum-
mer as a result of the competition Of
lake excursion steamship companies
for passenger traffic to Milwaukee,
Waukegan and ST Joseph. If it is
found to be legal, a clergyman may be
added to the crew of the wh2leback
Christopher Columbus to marry coup
les on the waves of Lake Michigan, out
of reach of the True marriage law, re-
Gently passed in Wisconsin. The
Goodrich line and the Holland and
Chicago line have become aroused to
the necessity of meeting inducements
to be offered by the Graham & Morton
line in it's st. oseph service, and will
consult legal authority of the consti-
tutionality of marriage on steamers
beyond the three-mile shore limits over
which Wisconsin and Illinois have jur-
isdiction.
All this is due to the decision Of the
Graham & Morton line to equip its
steamers this year with elaborate
bridal cabins" and coupon ticket for
a marriage certificate at st. Joseph.

GOMEZ FAREWELL MANIFESTO.
Takes a Sharp Rap at Americans
Retires from Public Life.

Havana, June Gen. Maxine Go
mez, the former commander in chief
of the Cuban army, issued his farewell
manifesto yesterday, He told of his
loyalty to Cuba and said that he would
soon come to Havana to live. He
urged the natives to be good citizens
and prove to the Americans that they
could govern themselves, and was con-
fident that time would come. He closed
by saying: 1--WE wanted and depend
ed upon foreign intervention to termi-
nate the war. This occurred at the
most terrible moment of our contest
and resulted in SPANS defeat. But
none of us thought this extraordinary
event would be followed by a military
occupation of the country by our al
lies who treat us as people incapable
of acting for ourselves, and who
reduced us to obedience, to sub
mission and to tutelage imposed by
the force of circumstances" He add
ed: |'It is said countries always
have the government they merit, and
Cuba will have that which her heroism
entities her to-"
The farewell manifesto Of General
Gomez is the principal topic of con-
versation among the American and
Cubans of all shades of politics. The
Americans, for the most part, consid
er it an affecting address, expressing
the real views of the old patriot, and
also his sincere intention to retire
from public life. His Cuban admirers
say the address will rank among the
most famous in history. His oppo-
nents, especially the members of the
former military assembly, insist that
he has no intention to retire for more
than a few weeks and that his real OBJ
ject is to gain public sympathy.

Quoted by the state board Of health and

ers twenty-five we're found in an
advanced stage of consumption and
the other two had we'll developed
cases. This herd came from a dairy
farm in Sangamon county, that sup
plies the governors household with
milk and he expressed himself very
forcib1y on the subject. ''That test
demonstrates" he said, "the danger
that constantly confronts the public
and proves that the livestock commits
sioners should be invested with power
to examine every herd in the state,
whether private or not. DR.. Lovejoy
tells me that this herd is the worst
that has been met yet. Why, they were
simply rotten with disease, which must
certainly spread the germs of tubercu-
losis.' Gov. Tanner ordered an i'm

used for furnishing milk to the state
institutions. The first to be inspected
by the livestock commissioners will
be those at the Kankakee- and Elgin

are $50 COWS at each Of these institu-
lions and the examination is to be
made to find out how many of these

FITZ IN GOOD TRIM.

New York, June 7.-"Bob" Fftzsim-

fought nine hard and fast rounds with

champion said Fitzsimmons is in good
trim and that from now on the work
would be diminished gradually.

GAME WARDEN LAW.
An Opinion Rendered BY
Attorney General
MOnnett.

In reply to a request from L. H.
Reutinger, secretary of the Ohio state
fish and game commission, Attorney
General Monnett on Monday rendered
an opinion in which he holds that the
state game warden is authorized to en-
force the laws coming under his juris-
diction through constables and depu-
ties. 1t is further held that he may
appoint assistant state game wardens,
but not county game wardens.
The appeal to the attorney general
was prompted by a decision recently
made in court which was generally
misconstrued. Inquiries were being
made of Mr.. Reutinger, especially by
his assistants throughout the state,
and from the sportsmen who, as the re-
suit of the decision of some Judge in
Ohio, were at sea as to the constitution
ality of the game laws. The decision,
however, simply applied to the jurisdic-
ton of wardens and held that county
wardens had no authority to make ar
rests. Warden Dangeleisen, of Mas
sillon, was not effected by the decision,
as he Is assistant state warden.

PECULIAR QUESTION
Presented Because of the Death

Batavia, o., Nov. ;0.--The death Of
Edward w. Buvinger, sheriff of Cler.
mont county, who expired at d:20 o'clock
election day and was reelected on the
Democratic ticket, presents q peculiar
question to the minds vf the C.errnont
voters. The Republicans contend that
by his death BuvInger ceased to be, and
that as John b. Cover, their regular
nominee, received the next highest vote,
he Is consequently the proper person to
fill the office. The Democrats claim
that it is necessary to call special cleo
ton. Buvinger's first term expires Jan.
l, 1900. The vacancy of six weeks will
be filled by appointment by the county
commissioners. The question Of Buv-
inger's successor will be decided by the
courts.

OF the sturdy old time Democrats of
this section, died at his home in South

while, after which he located in this city

WON'T COME TO
STARK COUNTY
District Attorneyship Said to
Have Been Settled.
THE CANTON ATTORNEYS
Who Have Been Mentioned For the Place
Will BE Disappointed--JohnJ j. Sullivan
of Warren, Said to BE the Choice
of Senator Hanna.

Now that the election is over and II
has been decided who will have charge
Of the state affairs, the word is said to
have gone out from Hanna's head
quarters, in Cleveland, that number of
federal jobs which have been hanging
fire for some time will be given out.
Among the good things that are still
on the plum tree, for northern Ohio,
is the office of district attorney. This
office is at present held by Mr.. Dodge,
a Cleveland attorney and appointee of
President Cleveland. This is the place
that number of Canton attorneys have
been gazing at with longing eyes and
j. j. Grant and Allen Carnes are
credited with being active candidates
for the position.
The appointment of either of these
gentlemen would have been taken as a
compliment to the bar of Stark county
and the attorneys were hoping that,
along with other good things which
have come the way of Stark county,
under the present administration, this
would also be landed. Both Mr.. Grant
and Mr.. Carnes have been active in
the work of the party in years past and
both are conceded to be we'll fitted for
the position.
The appointment, however, will not
come to Stark county 1t is given out
in Cleveland that John ]. Sullivan, of
Warren, Is to be the lucky man and
that the plum tree is to be shaken in
the near future. 1t will be quite a
disappointment to the friends of the
Stark county candidates that they are
not to be the successful ones. Sullivan
is said to be Hanna's choice for the
position and that settled the matter.
