which the Lodge has purchased, said Dr. Percy Nixon, the gifted young dental surgeon, last night.
 'rhe Elks have worked very hard in this particular. and they are of right to feel proud of the result. Birmingham has responded nobly to the efforts of the Elks, and we are proud of the most sue cessful street fair ever held in the South. The purposes and objects of the Elks are purely benevolent, and, knowing this fact, the people have aided us as freely and openly as we could have hoped for or desired. and the Elks are profoundly grateful"
 It Is an interesting fact that pr. Percy Nixon is the sixth person born in the young and great Birmingham. Dr. Nix on son of a woman whom all this com munity delights to honor, was born in a house that stood upon the lot where the building that collapsed the other day through the digging of the foundations for the splendid new structure for the Birmingham Trust and Savings Company in Twentieth street, the rich bank that was founded by the ever-lamented Henry Martyr Caldwell, who in dying, left gen. erous provision of his great wealth for this sixthborn of Birmingham.

Woman Enoeoed to Three Men,

He further says he is not bound by the contract, because at the time of the al- legged engagement plaintiff was engaged to two other men. This is not in bar of this action, but on the score of blighted affections and mental distress may be looked to in mitigation of damages, for while society rather winks at polygamy in man, 1t will not tolerate polyandry in woman. The law forbids the crime in both man and woman. That she the plaintiff at the time Of her alleged en- gagement to defendant, was engaged to others was no obstacle to the fulfillment of her engagement with defendant. Bad as 1t may be in words and repugnant as 1t may be to Christianity, 1t has ever been, and to a greater degree now than ever, regarded as a mere trifie. for a woman to engage herself to dozen young men, and Predetermined men try to imi- tate their example in this respect. Re- tire, gentlemen, and consider your yer dict"
 "The jury returned a nominal verdict for the plaintiff. Defendant moved for a new trial on the ground that there was no consideration to support the contract. This motion was refused and judgment rendered for the plaintiff. Defendant in- on the ground that the panel did not have the requisite mental capacity to try he case. The court overruled that ground, for that in Jefferson County was not valid objection to a jury

Tears and siahs and Grief.

"Again, in estimating the damages the jury will be allowed to look at two things. Damages are awarded by way of com pensation in such cases. Nothing by way of penalty. But you can if you believe her evidence compensate her for her tears and signs, her grief, her hystercal fits. her palfid cheeks, her ruined hopes and blighted affections; and If you believe her evidence, you may compensate her for the loss of the high social position to which marriage with defendant would have elevated her; loss of the wealth she would have enjoyed; and particularly the loss of the dignity of being the wife of a justice of the peace in the wonderful Magic City,
 But, gentlemen, when you come to con- slider damages for disappointed affections and blighted hopes, you may ascertain by way of mitigation, if it is possible for a society belle or society beau to awaken affection or profound sentiment In the heart, or to feel it.
 Look at her and say if, with false bangs and back hair that belongs to some body else, and a color that came from powder and lips red with biting. with a mincing, shuffling gait from wearing shoes three sizes too small, with the heels in the hollow of the foot, she could ever break up to fallow ground the hardened soil of heart like defendants or rather
The age-herald., 1901-05-05

look at defendant and say whether a curly society darling. with hair parted in the middle. and head like a poodle dogs, he could ever awaken such love, and stir such emotions as the plaintiff says she is the subject of.
 "The defendant says he is not bound by this contract, even if he made 1t; that he was then an infant. At common law a male of the age of A and female at the age of F could commit matrimony. Un- der statute in this State. the male must be r and the female 14 and with the con sent of parents may marry. As defend- ant has not informed us by proof that he had not attained the age of r you are authorized to find from his appearance and size that he was of the age of con sent

Hon. Frank p. o'BrIen III.

Hon. Frank P. OBrien is very i'll at the Davis private infirmary In this city. He was conveyed thither Friday sui fering from nervous prostration. The re- ports from his bedside are not cheering; his condition is very disquieting.
 As has been stated in this place more than once before. MT. O'Brien was stricken with influenza, or 'the grip" as the phrase goes. This illness came upon him about four months ago, and as many others have experienced it. he was unable to shake off the ailment. For three months he was extremely unhappy. To his physical pain was added the mem tai torture that ever waits upon "the grip" For the first time in his honored life this strong man complained of men, tai depression. Physical pain has never yet wrung any cry from him.
 MT. O'Brien Is now very ill., Every good man in Alabama will hope for the speedy recovery of this one of the best of all Alabamians!

Plugging and kissinu.

Now as to hugging and kissing. these are hardly evidences of an engagement. They may be looked to in connection with other facts, but are rather to be regard ed as negotiations; a sort of tasting of the fruit to see If it is sweet or sour It

One who Is a learned man and loving one, and who has grown old as & lover strong In the affections of the people, talks of historic love in a beautifully ten der way. Saith he. with great adroitness:
 Warren vs. Allen, in the Court of Common Pleas before all the people, the action being for breach of promise to marry. the presiding judge charged the jury substantially in these words, namely:
 Marriage Is civil contract and more than contract It is social or domes- tic institution on which are founded all society and order, to be regulated and controlled by the sovereign power for the good of the state. It is a Blessed Sacra ment of the Holy Catholic Church. It Is not treated as a mere contract between the parties, subject as to It's continuance, dissolution and effects to their mere pleas ure and intentions, but as a civil con- tract, the most interesting and important 'n is nature of any in society. Every weli-organized society Is essentially inter- ested in the existence and decorum of all It's social relations. Marriage, the most elementary and useful of them all Is reg nlated and controlled by the sovereign bower. and cannot, like mere contracts, be dissolved by mutual consent, but may be abrogated by the sovereign will, either with or without the consent of both par ties, whether public good or justice to both either of the parties will be thereby subserved,s save only within the Holy Catholic Church, where divorce is absolutely forbidden.
 The courts deal with a contract to marry as with any other contract, except that they will not specifically enforce It. For it's breach the law awards damages. When entered into the law regards 1t as \ social status, and for cause will dis solve the contract by which the parties came together.
 Tn this case the jury have only to deal with the breach of contract if there has been one to marry.
 The jury must first find from the evi- denee whether there was contract, and in your inquiries you will be guided by the testimony. There is no controversy that the parties met; that they were on quite intimate terms; they ate fruit and candies together, chewed the same gum; went to church and theatres correspond ed.
 Tt Is also in proof that there was hug ging and kissing and walking by the arm clutch performance
