Protest Against the Wilson Park Sale
by the Citizens Association.
The Congress Heights Citizens Associa-
tion has submitted to Congress protest
against the contemplated purchase by the
Government Of the land known as Wilson
Park. for additional grounds for the Gov
ernment Hospital for the Insane.
In the protest, the reasons for their ae-
tion are exhaustively treated by the as
sociation. the committee on legislation
having elaborated the plans Of the con-
templated purchase and explained them
fully. This committee is composed Of Gus
tave Bender, Charles W Frazier, V. NJ.
Tucker, Theodore Dietrich. and o. \. En-
mons
The land in question Is owned by Rich-
ard T Wilson. Of New York, and contains,
according TO the certificate OF the Tax As
sessor Of the District Of Columbia, 1Ot-1S
acres at Pencote Heights, in the suburb
known as Congress Heights The tax GER
tifcate Of assessment shows that the land
has been assessed at a valuation Of SS,573,
and the fundamental reason for the pro-
test is that the bill which is 10 be intro
duced in Congress will provide for an ap
preparation Of $245, 900 for its purchase by
the Government. a price which. the citi-
zens' association declares. is about 5000, 900
in excess Of the true value of the land.
For verifcatiOn of this declaration. they
cite an instance OF a sale last summer of
improved property within 200 yards OF this
tract. for which $4,000 was paid, and es-

THE DECEASED wIFE's SISTER.
How the English Prohibition of Mar
ringe With Her Came About.

(from the New York HeTald)
The prohibition, which has caused so
much discussion in England, grew out of
the ancient tribal law forbidding a father
to sell more than one daughter to the same
man. when the Briton was emerging from
pOlygamy. and when for 21 shillings OF
the present money a man might dismiss
his wife, or kill her II she would not 90.
AS civil law IL was to protect the living
wife and knit tribes closer together by
intermarriage
When ecclesiastical law became supreme
a misreading OF some Scripture text was
used TO put the sister Of a mans wife
among the prohibited degrees Of relation
snip This was the act of 1541 {32 Henry
VIID: "A man may not marry his de-
ceased wife's sister, nor her daughter, but
he may marry his first cousin"
While the marriage laws Of 1541 have
been altered and amended and rewritten
until they no more resemble now the laws
Of that day than modern locomotive re-
sembles a chariot Of Alexander, this one
section has been preserved intact and reads
today word for word as it did then.
The prohibition is not known today in
any other country. 1t does not apply in
Scotland or Ireland-snly in England. II
is avoided by any persons wishing to marry
by going TO Scotland or ireland or France
or the United States, and the English civil
law is that a marriage valid where con-
tracted is valid everywhere. The lex loci
governs, except in polygamous countries.
The law Of l54l is a dead letter in England
except for the religious, who will not dis
obey their Bishops and it gives rise to no
small amount Of scandal and bitter feel
ings and religious rancor when Smith mar
ries his wife's sister in Edinburgh and
brings her back TO New York to live as his
legal wife, which she is. The marriage
contract depends upon the law Of Scotland
and must be decided by it,

Governor Brady. of Alaska. Proposes
10 Use Electricity.
The substitution OF electricity in the

per cent OF the seals illegally killed are
females. and the brand would ruin the

The Interior Department is urged TO
send a force Of men, fully equipped for
the work, 10 Alaska, and let them take in
hand the project. The stockmen Of the
plains. says the governor, have found elec-
tricity TO be infinitely more expeditions

the most unshliful hands.
The branded seals suffer as little from

Governor Brady and the Introduction of
this system will speed the branding. which
appears TO be the only method by which
we can prevent extinction Of the species.

Il, must be strong and healthy and are
pretty sure to live to a ripe old age. Un-
fortunately, the rush and hurry of modern
business life will not permit the average
man to take frequent outdoor exercise.
In lieu of life spent partly in the woods
and ON the water, q man must find some
kind of medicine to tone up and invigorate
him and incite the vital organs of his body
to the faithful performance of their normal
functions. Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is the only thoroughly effective
medicine for this purpose. Its principal
action is upon the organs that feed the
blood, the stomach the large intestines and
the liver. 1t facilitates the flow of the di-
production of healthy chyle in large quan.

blood. When the blood is rich and pure
the old, inert tissues throughout the body
are torn down and replaced by new and
healthy flesh tissues and nerve fbers. If a
mans blood is filed with the rich, pure
elements of health, he can get along with a
scanty amount of exercise Disease germs
can gain no foothold in his system.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.

The Concord and Monitor claims, OH
Wood Mountain, are being worked by
Abe Kent and other parties from Denver
and the east. The Concord is one of the
oldest mines in that district, and has a
good record as producer. Both the
Concord and Monitor are patented, and
are well defined leads in,ersecting each
other at an acute angle, The shaft on
the Concord has been sunk about 100
fee, with good indications. The lower
tunnel is being put in working order and
will be driven as fast as possible. 1t is
now about 60 ieet, and ASSAYS from the
breast show good values. Being on
Wood Mountain, just east of the Forest,
and close in to the Wood Mountain
Tunnel company's claims, it Is safe to
predict for the Concord people, a bright
and prosperous future.
