MILWAUKEE, April 27.-The passage OF
the True marriage license bill puts a stop to
a practice which for years has been n dis
grace 10 Wisconsin,. 1t sounds the death
KEEL 10 irresponsible marriages ana puts an
end to M~ilwaukee's reputation as a Gretna
Green. II has been a long fight and at
times a bitter one. in which all the reputable
elements of society have been ranged on the
side OF good morals. while on the other
have been the marriage brokers, who waxed
rich and fat off the fees of runaway couples.
For the last five or six years Milwaukee
has been the scene Of innumerable mar
riages Of persons who gave no more thought
to the solemnity OF the marriage rites nor
to the responsibilities they were assuming
than they did to the chance OF obtaining
the next meal. Only recently DR. Co. whdl
III favor of the True bill, showed by statis-
tics that thousands OF persons had come
here from other States in the last year-the
majority from Chicago-and been married
by ministers and justices WHOSE chief inter-
est seemed 10 be i'm the fees received. In

they might bring to them all couples seek

With the justices no questions were asked
The fee was the main thing. The clergymen
went a little further and placed the parties
on record as to their age and legal right
to marry, but that was all. A Few white
lies were sufficient for both elopers and
clergymen in most OF the cases II nao
become quite the customary thing TO In
clude a marriage ceremony with a trip on
the excursion boats up from Chicago. 1t
was simply an incident, like visiting the
breweries or taking a look over the bay.
Among the most notable marriages which
gave Milwaukee her reputation as a Gretna
Green were those Of the daughter of Chief
Justice Fuller with young Aubrey, when the
couple were united just before midnight By
a Justice OF the peace-a marriage which
ended in the divorce courts a year or two
later: of the daughter of Robert i. Lincoln

WELLS ON HIS BACK.
Elmer Thorp Claims He Was Cruelty
Whipped by n Teacher.

About a month ago Alexander Thorp. liv-
upon complaint of the truancy officers and
brought before Justice F. NJ. Hay and fined
for not sending HIS boy 10 school. Last
night Thorp was around town looking for
some officer TO attend a complaint which
he makes against Miss Mary Connor, prin-
cipal of school No. ~, West Indianapolis,
and the janitor of the building.
Yesterday morning the boy, Elmer Thorp,
aged thirteen, did not attend school. How
ever, he went in the afternoon and was
met by his teacher, Miss Ward. who asked
the reason OF his absence in the morning.
The boy said, and the statement Is cor
roborated by the father. that he did not
feel well. and as a further excuse said that
one sister was about to have the measles
and another had the disease. According TO
the lad, Miss Ward said, well, that don't
Common, the principal. Young Thorp said.
when he arrived at the door OF Miss Con-
nOr's room he was grabbed by the ~janitor,
George Mckinney. and by him held while
Miss Connor whipped him with several
switches, raising large welts on his back
and also drawing blood. He said he was
given no opportunity to make an explana-
ton. Thorp is much angered at the pro-
ceedingS and claims he will bring action
against the principal and the janitor for
assault and battery. He also claims that a
boy named Carl Huffman has been severely
whipped by Miss Common and that the boy
is covered with marks of the whip.
Miss Connor'S story of the affair could
not be secured last night. She declined TO
talk with a reporter.

Beware of Food SAMPLES.

Quite recently in New York two deaths
occurred from poisoning by the use OF DOW
ders sent 10 the victims by mail. In Leav-
enw orth, Kan. the other day nearly every
doctor in town was called TO attend the
children who had gathered up. eaten and
been made Ill by samples OF an article Left
at houses by canvassers for advertising pur-
poses.
Alum baking powders have always been
favorlte articles for this sampling business.
Yet there is nothing more liable 20 lead to
danger than the practice of using the
various samples OF baking powder left at
the door. They are presented by irresponsi-
bic parties, In appearance are not dlstin-
diana some time since one package was
found. after IL had caused the death Of the
housewife. to have been mixed with that
poison.
II Is safer TO refuse all samples of food or
medicine offered at the door. Pure cream
or tartar baking powder sell upon their
merits and are never peddled or sampled.
