Marriages in Hindostan are very
simple, and are usually arranged by
the parents of the principals. When
an alliance is agreed upon, the bride
and groom are brought together, and
perhaps see each other for the first
time. The bride playfully skips
toward the groom and seats herself
beside him. The priest ties a corner
OF the brides veil to the groom's
shawl, and this simple proceeding
makes them man and wife.

Clues to Kidnapers.

Omaha. Dec. 24.-Pat Grove has been
identified as the man who rented the
house where Edward Cudahy, Jr., was
kept prisoner. This much has been
established practically beyond doubt.
Pat Groves wife is in Omaha, and,
though trying to shield her husband,
her own statements. the authorities
say, practically convict him and satisfy
the police that when they catch him
they will have earned the $4,000 re-
ward.
Edward Cudahy now entertains the
same opinion, and by morning the
probabilities are that large reward
will be offered for the arrest and deliv-
cry in Omaha OF Grove on the charge
of having kidnapped Cudahy.
The police this evening found an
Omaha citizen who identified picture
of Grove as the man who rented the
old house used by the robbers. The
man begged the police to withhold his
name until after Grove was arrested,
for fear Of the consequences. He is
certain as to the identity of the man.
The picture of Grove was taken from
the local rogue's gallery and the citizen
says he cannot be mistaken. 1t was
practically established tonight that
Lille Devine confidence woman who
figured with Grove in the Denver rob

BATTLE NEAR PEKIN.
Tu1Iock'S Column Attack
ed at Deh-Hal-Yi
CITY CARRIED BY ASSAULT
MCPHERSON Scaled Walls and Held Chi
nese at Bay While His Men We're
Getting in--Forty Killed.

Col. Tullock has returned to Pekir
and reports as follows: His detach-
ment was fired upon eight miles from
Pekin. He could not discover the as
sailants as they used smokeless pow
der and modern guns. Fifty men I'M
der Lieutenant Mcpherson, of the
twenty-sixth Beluchistan regiment,
was sent to his assistance. Imme-
diately after their arrival Tullock at
tackled the town, which had to be en-
tered by the use of scaling ladders.
In the attack Mcpherson distinguish
ed himself. He led the scaling party.
When he reached the top he jumped
down into the place and emptied his
revolver, killing five men. He then
drew his sword and defended himself
until his men arrived in force and
saved him from impending death.
Col. Tullock speaks highly of the lieu
tenants action. He says he believes
he did deed which merits the Vic
toria Cross in his jump to what was
apparently certain death in order to
let his men who were coming up the
ladder arrive. Forty Boxers were
killed, number were wounded and
many were captured and brought to
Pekin. Owing to the killing of the
informer no treasurer was obtained.
ENGLAND BLOCKS PROGRESS.
Berlin. The foreign officials state
that they do not know why Great
Britain has not yet authorized her
minister at Pekin sign the joint note
of the powers. Sir Ernest Satow has
asked London for further instructions
on the subject. Germany believes
the instructions have not yet been re-
ceived. 1t is pointed out that the
signing of the note will be the first
step of binding character yet taken
by the powers jointly, hence it is sup
posed that Great Britain wants to
consider the matter fully.

bugar In Solution Easily Passes Through
Animal Membranes.

Animal Membranes.
Sugar is a substance that dissolves
EASILY and In considerable quantity in
water. When in solution 1t easily pass
es through an animal membrane by
osmosis. and so the question of It's
absorption seemed simple enough. The
disease diabetes showed, however, that
sugar might exist very plentifully In
the blood, and yet the nutrition of an
individual suffer very much for the
lack of it. Something else besides its
mere presence in the system was nee
essary to secure its consumption by
the tissues. Bernard thought that the
liver was active in the consumption of
sugar, and that disease of this organ
caused diabetes. He therefore secured
some Of the blood going to the liver

blood that was Just leaving 1t. To his
surprise the blood leaving the liver
contained more sugar than that. enter
Ing it. After assuring himself that
his observations were correct, he tried
his experiments in different ways He
found that even In the blood leaving
the liver of an animal that had been
fed only on substances containing
no sugar, sugar could be demonstrat-
cd. Even in a fasting animal the liver
itself and the blood leaving 1t showed
the presence of form of sugar. The
only possible conclusion from this was
that the liver was capable of manu-
featuring this form of sugar out of

that glands exist which poured their
secretion directly into the blood stream
