bar, but there were few other au-
ditors. OF these the most interest
ed listener was Mr.. John Davidson,
who is claimed by Mrs. Mabel
Cant as her recently and clan
destnely acquired husband. Mr..
Davidson spent the day listening to
the arguments in the case. He is
here for the purpose of preparing
his answer to the div orce suit filed
by Mrs Davidson and would not talk
for publication. but it is understood
that in his answer he will deny the
clandestine marriage to the former
Mrs. Cant. The marriage record
offered by Mrs. Cant, or Davidson,
shows that she was married to
"John Davis" and he will deny
that he is the person referred to.
The case, it will be seen, has
many complex situations,
A striking and significant feature
of the testimony in the habeas cor
pus case was the little bright-eyed
boy himself and his statements.
One of the latter was that he did
not know his father, who was then
present in the court. The father
said to him: "Who told you to say
that?" "Mama," answered the
little fellow, promptly.-Ow sboro

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness Of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's

SOLOMONIC DECISION
Custody of the Cant Child Given
Alternately to Father and
Mother.

The habeas corpus proceeding Of
T. l.. Cant, The young Hopkinsville
merchant, instituted for the possess
sion of his siX.year-old boy, after
consuming two days in the circuit
court, was disposed of by Special
Judge w. S. Morrison Saturday
afternoon. The custody of the
child was awarded to the father for
six weeks and to the mother eight
weeks alternately.
Upon the hearing of this proceed
ing some interesting and rather
sensational evidence was intro.
duced which proves that Mrs.
Davidson, the respondent to the
suit, has figured in another divorce
proceeding even more sensational
than the one she has now instituted
against John Davidson, of Hawes-
vile, in which she alleges she was

the separation. 1t appears from
the wording of the contract that
certain letters written by Mrs, Cant
to a well known man in that section
of that state, together with his
letters to her, were found by Mr..
Cant and confirmed in his mind
that his wife was untrue to him.
Rather than disclose all the facts
and drag the family skeleton from
the closet, the matters we're arbi-
trated, and by Judge c. J. Pratt a
witness for the petitioner, it was
shown that this contract exhibited
in evidence, was the result of the
arbitration. BY its terms the
original suit for divorce was not to
be prosecuted to judgment, but an
amended petition was filed alleging
abandonment only and she was
to make no claim for aimony, But
as he had abandoned her, he could
not sue under the contract, and she
brought the suit, he made no de-
feuse and the divorce was granted.
This contract also provided that
Mr.. Cant should have the custody.
of the child and that when he
allowed it to visit her, she was to
sign an agreement providing for its
return upon d stated time. but she
would not stand by this agreement
and the last time she took the
child she would not give it up at all
and this habeas corpus writ en-
sued.
The trial of the case, as stated
above, lasted two days. The at
torneys engaged were Capt. w. t.
Ellis for the plaintiff and Geo. W.
Jolly for the defendant. They con-
sumed practically all of Saturday
in argument, discussing, inciden-
tally, the city council, the water
works bond proposition and even
the Goebel election law. At 4 p. m.
the court adjourned from the
darkened court room and an hour
later decided the case as follows:
at is adjudged by the court that
the best interests of the said Edwin
Y. Cant require that his care aud
custody be awarded To his father,
I. L. Cant, and his mother, Mabel
Davis, alias Davidson, as follows:
That his father shall have his care
and custody from the 2Oth day of
November, 1900, for period Of six
weeks, and thus to be alternated
between them. The writ is dis
missed at the cost of the com
Dlainant."
Mr.. Cant since the divorce was
granted, has married again.
The trial attracted the closest
attention of many members of the

NO MORE CLASS BUSHES.
Students Denied Happy Privilege Of
Killing Each Other.

Chicago, Nov. 2o.-Alarmed by the
death of a student at the Massachusetts,
School of Technology last week while en-
gagged in a class rush. the faculty pf the
university of Chicago warned the stu
dents of that institution that no class
PUSHES would be permitted hereafter at
the university and intimated hat those
found participating in an outbreak Of
that kind would be expelled. '
This action was the result of a resolu-
ton passed by the university council con-
demning rushes and declaring that they
should be stopped. The resolution was
read to the junior college students con-
sisting of the two great rival classes, the
freshmen and the sophomores at-Chape'
by Dean George E. Vincent.
The action of the faculty at this time
is due to the fact that a rush was beins
planned in a quiet way by the student:
for next Friday night.

The fire seems to have started in the

ing plant. Three explosions followed in
quick succession, Knocking out windows
and doors and spreading the flames In
stantly to all parts of the room. From
there it communicated quickly to al

the buildings, having recently purchased

TlRED OF PETTY FIGHTS.
English Merchants Want the Eastern
Question Settled.

New York, Nov. 20.-There is a grow
ing feeling of Impotence in London over
the delay in affecting a settlement Of
the Chinese question, says a Tribune
cablegram. THE English press frankly
confesses that it is hearing about punt
tive expeditions to one quarter or an
other, and that it considers it hardly
worth while to keep all China in a state
of turmoil, preventing thereby restora-
ton of normal trade relations, in order
to punish a few criminals who annot be
caught while the court remains in exile.
English opinion Will not be fully ex-
pressed until the cues are provided by
the foreign office, but it is safe to
assume that it supports the american
contention that the most urgent require
ments of the situation is the establish
ment at Pekin of a. government with the
essential elements of stability and au-
thority. Since there can be no substl-
tute for the empress rule, her return to
the capital seems a foregone conclusion.
The punishment of the princes, espe-
cially Tuan, is the chief obstacle to q
settlement. The latest dispatches indi-
cate that the European powers are grad
ually coming to a decision on the prelim-
inaries OF peace on which general nego-
stations may be opened. The trend OF
events indicates that the European pow
ers are slowly approaching the American
position on the whole matter.
