The LangwOrthys.

The suicide of Edward Martin Lang
worthy, following on the death of an
unfortunate lady who claimed to be
his wife, recalls to mind one of the
most curious cases in the history Of
the English courts. Mr.. Langworthy
had inherited something like $780,
900 from his father and uncle, and aft
er a career at Elton and Oxford was
called to the bar. He met Mildred Sa-
bine Palliser Long on the continent,
and went through a form OF marriage
with her at a Roman Catholic church
in Normandy, and to confirm the sem
blance of legality performed q similar
ceremony in a Presbyterian church at
Antwerp. He then took the lady on
his p~alatial yacht Meteor to South
America, and at Buenos Ayres inform
ed her that their marriage was not
valid. Mrs. Langworthy became a
mother and for the child's sake took
proceedings against her d%eceiver. For
four years the wealth of Mr.. Lang
worthy bought the clubbing of IN
scrupulous lawyers to uphold his case,
and the divorce court eventually de-
creed the marriage invalid, but grant
ed the lady alimony at the rate of
Il. 200 a year. The ungentlemanly Mr..
Langworthy, however, evaded payment
by fleeing the country; Mrs. Lang
worthy might have been driven
through despair to suicide had not the
Pail Mall Gazette, edited at that time
by Mr.. Stead, taken up her case. She
brought a new case against MI. Lang
worthy for f25,O00 damages for breach
of promise, and everyone rejoiced
when she won it. The general belief
was that Mr.. Langworthy had been
egged on to such conduct by relatives,
who thought the marriage a mesalli-
ance; anyhow, the quarrel seems to
have been made up to some extent be-
fore the end, and Mr.. Langworthy's
suicide is ascribed to grief at the death
OF the lady he had SO misused.

Encourage the doctors. You praise
the doctor when he brings you up from
an awful crisis of disease, but do you
praise the doctor when through skillful
treatment Of the incipient stages Of
disease, he keeps you from sinking
down to the awful crisis? There is a
great deal of cheap and heartless wit
about doctors, but I notice that the
people who get off that wit are the
first to send for a doctor when there
is anything the matter. There are
those who undertake to say in our day
that doctors are really useless. One
man has written a book entitled "Ev-
cry Mar His Own Doctor" That au-

AFTER THE RECESS.
General Assembly viii Resume Its
laborS Next Tuesday.
Several Important Matters TO Be Disposed
Of Before Adjournment

The General Assembly will recon-
mence it's labors on Tuesday next, and
the balance OF the January session pro-
misses to be quite "A busy period for the
legislators. Several important matters
are TO come up, and among these are
the tax act which Is intended TO pro-
vide the city of Providence with addi-
tional revenue. Although the exact
form OF the act has not been decided
upon, it is pretty certain that it Will
not be the act that was presented by
the city.
There will also be introduced a bill
providing for the creation of a railroad
commission, and II is said that Senatof
Freeman, the present state railroad
commissioners not opposed 10 me pro-
posed act, which Ii passed will provide
for a commission of three to be ap-
pointed by the governor. Another inn
portant feature 10 be considered Is "A
caucus act, and there does not seem
TO be any doubt of its adoption. 1t is
said that the measure will not be in
any way a partisan one, but IL VIII aim
entirely TO improve the political condi-
tions i'm this city.
Perhaps, the most important piece or
legislation 10 come very early in the
session, probably some time next week,
is the police commission bill. providing
for a police commissioner in the city
of Providence. Ii Is probable that the
act prepared last spring. but which was
not introduced at the last May session,
together with the act introduced few
weeks ago. will both be considered by
the judiciary committee OF the House,
and there is reason TO believe that the
main features Of the bill framed by Mr..
John II. Blodgett, providing for a three
headed commission, will be recon-
mended for passage.
Whether the matter of putting the
granting of liquor licenses into the
hands of this commission will be ir-
sisted upon. is at present not known,
and IL is understood that "A special eff
fort will be made by certain interested
persons TO leave the present license
board i'm the enjoyment OF its functions.
1t is stated by gentlemen who are I'm
position TO know that the commission
will be composed OF men of recognized
merit and integrity. and the appoint
ments Will be made by the governor.
