LAW STANDS IN CUP1D's WAY.
Supreme Court of New York Entoins
an Actress from Getting
Married.

Ella Fontain Bleau, an actress, was
enjoined the other day by the supreme
court Of New York from getting mar
ried. The petitioner against Miss
Bleau Is Edward A. Schiller, her man
ager, who showed contract under
which Miss Bleau was engaged for the
whole of next season upon the strict
agreement that she should remain
single. y.
I In making the contract with Miss
Bleau Mr.. Schiller said he had stipu-
Lated that she should not marry, be-
cause he intended to get out lot, of
costly hthographing and printing,
and did not want his leading woman to
do as had been done so many times be-
fore, marry and get out, leaving him
with his paper" utterly worthless.
After making the contract he had gone
ahead with the arrangements for the
season, and his printing was already
done. Recently he was informed. by a
Spaniard friend that. Miss Bleau was
engaged to marry Adolphus Garcia, a
member of the diplomatic corps at
Madrid,- who had just finished a tour
OF this country. Garcia, it was said.
had fallen in love with the actress, had
been accepted by her and had gone
nome to Spain to make arrangements
for the bringing home Of his bride.

CUT OFF FROM SUPPLIES.
BARK calcium, Returned from Ivia-
Co. tut, Reports Explorer Peary
In PERIL

The bark Calcium, Capt. A. Smith,
from Lvigtut, Greenland, with Cryolite,
arrived at Philadelphia, the other day
bringing news to the effect that the
past winter and spring season in the far
north has been the worst encountered
FOR many years past. Before leaving
for the frozen north Capt. Smith was
Instructed to make inquiries among the
Eshmos for any information regard
ing Explorer Perry, who was known to
have reached Fort Conger, Greely's
farthest point north. "a
'The ice off Greenland shore, this side
of lvigtut," said Capt. Smith, was from
100 to $50 miles in width. It was this
foe that the Calcium was caught in.
The natives experienced hard winter
from the SHOWS and rains. ,...s,>....: 8.
II did not hear a single word from
Perry, but he must also have suffered
like the natives since last summer, If
he succeeded in again reaching latitude
o3 degrees north, which point he made
last summer, he will likely experience
great difficulty in returning to his base
OF supplies on the Greenland shores.
AS regards a rescue ship making Its
way through the channel, I regard it
as next to impossible this year.

FIND GRAIN OF ANCIENT DATE
Remarkable Discovery Made by
Workmen At Walnut
Ridge, Ark.

While excavating for new build
ing at Walnut Ridge, Ark, workmen
unearthed, about 20 feet under the
ground, in drift Of sand and gravel.
a sealed stone cask. The cask- when
opened revealed a species Of maize, re-
sembling in some respects the corn of
The present day, but different grain
i'm every particular from any grain
at the present time, and being red
dish brown in color and somewhat
larger in size The casl, contained
over a peck Of the grain, which will
be preserved and .replanted. Near
where the cask was found, many evi-
dences of prehistoric race have
been unearthed Several years ago
stone Jars and vases were revealed and
bones OF what was once human be-
ing, apparently gigantic in size, were
discovered. Local scientists who have
examined the grain declare there is
nothing produced ike it in the world
at the present time, and they account
for the preservation under ground for
probably thousand years or more
due to its being closed in the air-tight
cask. .<s

NO BIRDS TO DISTRIBUTE.
the Workings OF the Lacy Law
for Protection OF Birds.

The department of agriculture has
issued regulations for the proper ex-
ecution of the Lacey law for the pro-
lection and importation of birds. A
circular obtaining the regulations
has been published. It explains that
the department merely purposes to
supplement- and not to hamper or re-
place the work hitherto done by the
state commissions and organizations.
Attention is called to the fact that
while the act provides for the pur-
chase and' distribution Of birds, no ap-
preparation is made for that purpose.
Thedepartment therefore hasno quail,
pheasants or other game birds for
distribution. Instruction in detail
are given as to what is prohibited. by
the act.

New Method of Photographin9 the
Corona of SUN During Felipe,
Used by Prof. Durckhalter.

The development of the photographs
taken in Georgia by Prof. Charles
Burckhaher, of the Chabot observao
tory. Oakland, CAL, during the solar
eclipse on May %, has demonstrat ted
beyond doubt the success of his new
method of astronomical photographs.
The negatives that were taken have
been developed into the best photo
graphs of the corona of the sun that
have ever been produced Prof. Burck-
halter's device controls the exposure
to the different rays. The exposure to
the inner portion of the corona which
has given the best results is 4-10O of a
second. The outer portion receives
an exposure of eight seconds. r.

idea Of building trolley line Boet-
wick constructed it and it was opened

Soon the king decided It would pay
to open a road for general use. So,
to accustom the people to the foreign
means Of travel all were allowed to
ride free for one week The expert
ment was disastrous, as a little girl,
hidden by her father to cross the
track in front Of an approaching train,
was killed. A mob tried to kill Bost-
wick and to wreck the road. When
quiet was restored motormen were
imported from San Francisco and the
road once more run as usual. Then
the king, after holding out one whole
year against the astrologers, decided
to move the queens remains But to
do this he concluded to move the
whole cemetery Is miles further in
land to- a place the astrologers de-
clared was propdtious> Hence the
contract with Bostwick and the big
expenditure tor the little kingdom.
The tombs are very elaborate and
many of the sepulchers are of colos-
sal size, 50 the undertaking is large

y THE whole undertaking has been
sadly bungled in the general plan os
well as in all the details, In the
French and all foreign sections the
whole business degenerated early into
great distribution Of contracts and
privileges and impudent looting. The
French provincials and intending Wis

of the real state OF affairs and vast
numbers remained home Although
July and August will undoubtedly
show a great attendance the exposi-

offers many beautiful spectacles,

given by a prominent Californian,

Swede. Axel Orling, with ]. T. Arm
strong, OF London, has been success
fully trying to control torpedo by
means of anew and powerful form of
Roentgen rays. The torpedo is abso-
lutely under control as long asit can
be seen, that Is to say, from four to 90
miles or more, according to the eleya-
tion Of the operator. Guided from a
balloon, the torpedo will persistently
follow its quarry, and can be exploded
at will It can also be, as 1T were,
1whistled back il the operator changes
his mine, or the enemy shows the white
flag. Altogether. it seems a very handy
