ELOPEMENTs RARE IN FRANCE.
Parental Consent Required No Matter
What the Age of Contracting
Parties.

Elopements are of very infreqlent
occurrence in France, a fact that is
due in large measure to the peculi-
arity of the French law in pertain
ing to marriages. Not only must
the contracting parties-up to any
age-have the written consent of
their parents, but also in case of
the death of their parents they
obtain the consent of their grand
parents. Here is a case instanced
by correspondent whose friend
Suzanne B, was engaged to Henri S.
Both were orphans, yet it was sew
eral months before the ceremony
could be performed because of the
number of papers and certificates
which we're necessary for the cele-
bration of their nuptials. No less
than fourteen certificates were alb
solutely indispensable, and Suzanne,
as well as her fiance, was obliged to
show in default of their parents
presence or written consent: First,
her fathers death certificate; sec
ond, her mothers death certificate;
third, her fathers fathers death
certificate; fourth, her fathers
mothers death certificate; fifth, her
mothers fathers death certificate;
sixth her mothers mothers death
certificate; seventh, her own birth
certificate. Several months elapsed
before all these papers could be got
together.
When at last all was ready
Suzanne B. appeared at the marie
and inquired when she might be
married. "Have you the consent of
your consil de familie?" (family
council, which regulates the affairs
of orphans and minors) was the
question. "No, My parents died
intestate." "But Thave no conseil
de familie:" swell, then, get one as
soon as possible" was the reply
and poor Suzanne was forced to
write to all her relatives in all cor
uers of France-many of whom she
had never even seen-and ask them
to come up to Paris to form a coun-
sill de familie. After much expense,
worry and trouble, not to speak of
lawyers fees, etc, the various
members of the conseil de familie
we're at last collected together to
give their consent to the marriage
of Suzanne and Henri.

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannotreach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh

A HANDSOME MONUMENT.
Worked Turned Out in the Yard Of
WhitwOrth & Kennedy, of This
City.

We visited the marble yard, of
Whitworth & Kennedy, this morn
ing to inspect a monument chiseled
out of huge piece of fine granite,
by Mr.. W. S. Kennedy, on an order
from the Woodmen of the World,
Camp No. 81, of Winthrop, Ark, to
be placed over the grave of John p
Willingham.
The design was selected by the
lodge and the widow of deceased,
and the cost of the monument vii!
be $3.50. The design represents the
trunk of a tree, and stands feet
high and "a inches around. There
are innnumerable knots chiseled on
the trunk, back and sides. On the
front is a scroll, on which the in
scription and emblems of the order
are'chissled, held by twisted repre-
seDtation of a rope, which is in re-
lief and shows that the sculptor had
great control over his chisel to make
so many masterful strokes to pro-
duce the effects.
This is the first order this firm has
had from the Woodmen, and they
are desirous that the members Of
the order in this city call and see it.
They would be pleased to have al
other orders inspect the work before
it is boxed and shipped. 1t will be
on the yard tomorrow only.

ELECTRICITY AND LIFE.

1t has been demonstrated that an
animal killed by electricity may be
brought to life. An ordinary cur
rent does not produce instant death
and if it we're possible to have in
readiness suitable apparatus, con-
sciousness could be restored by the
infusion of defibrinated blood. In a
like manner, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters the well known tonic, infu
ses life into debilitated bodies, by
revitalizing and purifying the blood
This wonderful medicine permeates
and distributes nutritive material
to every part of the body, If its
quality or circulation is deranged,
trouble follows. Constipation, dys-
pepsia, liver and kidney disorders
all spring from a weak condition of
the digestive organs, which affects
the blood, and through it the entire
body, The bitters cures all such
disorders and is an excellent spring
tonic.

West Side School Closed.

1t having been reported to Mayor
Estes, who is also president of the
school board, that the janitor was
stricken with small pox, he called
the school board. together yester-
day evening and it was thought
wise to dismiss the school for the
time being, and was so ordered.
The building will be thoroughly
fumigated, On next Saturday the
aldermen will meet and elect new
school board, and the school board
will elect its own president, secre-
tary and treasurer, and it is thought
the school will be opened again on
Monday. We do not think there is
any necessity for alarm, for there
are only few sporadic cases turn.
