But about two years ago the question
was In some way brought up here and
discussed by some Of tho local att Or
neys and Judge Simpson. Judge simp-
son was quite emphatic in declaring
that the probate judge was not author
ICED TO issue licenses without the con-
sent Of the parents in such cases and
the probate Judge Immediately took
the same view Of the matter. Since
then applications from minors haye re-
qulred to be accompanied by a note
from the papa or mama. Several have
been refused on this ground. But last
week assistant Attorney General West
gave IN opinion that there ID no stat

We have therefore decided to offer to
all our readers the Weekly Times free

Mr., Bryan's new paper, the Commoner.
The first issue of the paper will ap-
pear some time in January. In his an

Assistant Attorney General West

Judge Stewart. For long time there
has been some doubt as to the legal

in others to issue licenses when they
we're called for by minors provided
there we're no other disquallllcatlons,

To be Hers January 5th,

The reception rendered Lionel Adams
at the close Of the second net Of 1.-THE
Christion" last night was one that
should have made him both proud
and grateful, and il one might Judge
from the speech which the audience
fore ed him TO make before the curtain,
his very soul was overlooking with
pride and gratitude at the most cor
dial welcome home. 1t was then that
the entire house joined as one man to
give the talented New Orleauian a
royal ovation. For fifteen minutes
pandamonium reigned, Time after
time the curtain went up and down,
but the cheering never ceased until
Mr.. Adams stepped up to the footlight 8
and acknowledged the warm appreci-
alton Of his hearers. I'll feel that this
demonstration is rather q personal
greeting to me upon my return home, ,
said he with tremulous lips, "tlan it
is an applause called forth by any tai
ent or merit of mine" That was the
way he began, but he had scarcely
ended the sentence until there was
such a chorus of mo, no" and mo,
mo- again, that the speaker himself
must have been more than little con-
vlnced that merit had somethingto do
in provoking the noise before him.
And such was the truth, too, Mr.,

realizes every one of them, displaying
the highest artistic ability in each act

The sheriff, man by the name Of
Seitz, it IS said has been too intimate
with woman Of that city by the name
of Miner. Last Saturday he had an
insane patient to take to the asylum, a
woman, and as the law required a fe-
male attendant in such cases he en-
ployed the Mrs. Miner above referred
to. His attentions to the woman had
caused all sorts Of trouble in his fam
lily and after they got on the train the
sheriff's son about twenty-fouryears Ct
age rushed in and shot at her two OF
three times, one Of the bullets passing
through her arm and lodging in hel
corset. He evidently shot to kill.
