YOUNG BOY FELL TWENTY FIVE
 FEET.
Julius Coonje Tumbed from Top of g
 Fence in the Railroad Cut.

Julius Coonje, a seven-year-old Polish boy, had a narrow escape from death when he fell twenty-five feet from the top of a fence at the rear of Collins coal yard on Bradley street, to the rail- road track. The lad was on top of the fence, which is just at the edge of the stone wall at the side of the rail- road cut and sat there watching a freight train go by, Suddenly he lost his balance and fell to the tracks, only narrowly missing the wheels of the passing train. Patrolman Schamp hap pened to be near by when the accident occurred, and hastened to the boys as- sstance. He ascertained that the little fellow lived at 30 Madison street and took him there, pr. Fleischner was called to attend him The crew of the freight train thought that the boy had been called, and when the train reached Cedar Hill it stopped and the conductor went back to see him, but before he ar rived Schamp had taken the child home

JUDGE ANDREWS OPINION.

 her Divorce Case,

Defines Marriage Relations in Recent Bar
 Der Divorce Case
 Lawyer Jacob r. Goodhart yesterday re- ceived the full text of the opinion of the supreme court in the recently decided di- vorce case of Dr. George H. Barber of Glas- tonbury, and Mary Morgan vs. Belle Bemis Barber, recently tried before Judge Prem tice in the superior court at Hartford Dr. Barber Il few weeks ago received legacy of S30,0O0 from the estate or his grand mtoher, Chief Justice Andrews writes the other judges. MT. Goodhart was Mrs. Bar The opinion Is us follows:
 Marriage is that ceremony or process Dy which the relationship of husband ana wire is constituted. The consent of the parties IS everywhere deemed an essential conal(ioh to the forming of this relation, TO thls eA' tent It IS contract, But when the rela- as well as the rights and duties of the par ties, resulting from the relation are abso- lutely fixed by law. Hence after the mar riage is entered into it becomes a status contract It is the relation fixed by law in which the married parties stand lo each other, towards all other persons, ana to the state, And 1t is relation from which the persons cannot separate themselves by their own agreement, or by their own miscon.. duct. This status can only be dissolved between living persons by the consent or the state, ordinarily indicated by the judg- ment of a conipetent count. The state has an interest in the maintenance of the marriage tie which neither the collu- sion nor the negligence or the parties can impair. There can be no such thing as il legal right to divorce, vested in any married person. The state does not favor divorce but only permits it when 1t seems probable that the interests of society will De better served and the parties better citi zens. and happier separate, than If com pelled to remain together. The state ai- lows diyorces not as punishment to the offending party, nor as Il favor to the in nocent party, but because tho state be lieves its own prosperity will thereby be DromOtrd

SMITHS FRIENDS PLEASED
AT the Way In Which He Used the
CudgeI Mt Waco,

Austin, Texas, August 9.--The few poll
ticians in Austin were eager TO get the
news from the Waco convention TINS
morning. When they read the great stand
made by Attorney General smith they
we're loud in their praise OF the dlstin-
Euished son OF Hill county. They do not
hesitate to say that he is right on the
view he takes of the question, and the
lawyers are with him to the man.
His able defense at the big convention
is the talk of the town, while his burning
sarcasm is being repeated everywhere.
There is a general feeling of regret on
the part of yAe stsy-at-homes that they
were not present to see him use the wi
pooh and lasso the speilbinders who are
doing all they can to create dissension
N the ranks of the party.
