MARRIAGE IN FRANCE.
An Illustrative Instance of the Diff
6cGIties Which Beset
Bachelors.

The hardest thing to do in France is
to get married, says the New York
World.
Yet the French nation affects to en-
courage matrimony, as a remedy for
it's depleted population.
Study the following case, however, of
a Frenchman who is still bachelor
and consider whether you would pre-
fer conducting your romantic affairs
in that or some other country.
This is the case of a workman, aged
30, who wanted to marry woman,
aged rs, who was divorced and an or
phan. Armed with every document
bearing on his identity he could think
of, the workman repaired to the town
hall of his district. His certificate of
birth was bounced upon at once by a
clerk. It was out of date, recent law
requiring that all such documents to
be valid must have been delivered with
in the previous three months.
To obtain a fresh certificate the
workman had to write to the village
where he was born. The delay was
fatal. While he was waiting for re-
ply his parents unexpectedly came in
circumstances their prospective daugh-
terin-law ceased to find favor in their
eyes. In France, whatever ones age,
one cannot marry without the consent
of parents until after the accomplish
ment of certain formalities.
His family remaining obdurate the
workman only had them served at the
appointed intervals with the prescribed
number of respectful notices" at the
cost of $13. The operation over he re-
turned to the town hall, where the
clerk pointed out to him that he was
just week too late.
He possessed his soulin such patience
as he was able, did as he was bid and re-
appeared before the registrar with his
batch of newly delivered and attested
"papiers.''
There he learned that he must pay
$40 for different document. The sum
exceeded his means and he is still IN
married.

A. Walsh, of Iowa, secretary of the

is in Kansas City on private business,
sees in the anti-Tammany victory the

bolter could lead the democratic par

ter the campaign on a platform
which will not repudiate any other
platform of the party. Free silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1 will be Endorsed,
although it may not be one of the

BRADFORD's REPORT.
He Shows the Growth of the American
Navy by the Amount That Was
Spent for Coal.

Washington, Nov. ia striking
illustration of the growth of the
American navy is presented in the
single statement in the annual report
of Rear Admiral r. b. Bradford,
chief of the equipment bureau of the
navy, that he spent $2,273, III during
the last fiscal year for 324, los tons of
coal at an average cost of $7.O1 per

sumption was $4,000 tons per annum.
Admiral Bradford has scattered
American coal all over the world
wherever suitable storage could be
found. He has placed 10000 tons at

NOTHING TO MATCH IT.
London Paper Declares That Mortality in
South African Camps Is Worse
Than India Famine.

London, Nov. 1.-THE Daily News
exhaustiVely surveys the concentra-
ton camps in South Africa with the
following conclusions: ''The truth is
that the death rate in the camps is
incomparably worse than anything
Africa or Asia can show. There is
nothing to match it even in the NOR
tally figures of the Indian famines,
where cholera and other epidemics
have to be cOntended WITH Statis-
tice are produced in proof of this as
sertion.
The governments advertisement for
teachers for the camp children, set
ting forth that the 'term of employ
ment will be one year certain is
prominently displayed as evidence
that the authorities have no inten-
ton of ending the wholesale destr4c-
ton of life The News urges all
humane men not to wait for official
reports but to insist ION the camps
being broken up and the people dis
tributed among their friends or re
moved to districts where a fresh at
tempt can be made under competent
organization and with some regard to
the preservation of life-that, or ex-
termination and an eternal stain on

GOT THE SHERIFF.
By Strategy Escaped COnvicts Cap
tured Shawnee County Officer.
They Used Him as Shield and Threat
ened to XIII Him IL a Shot Was
Fired-Were Permitted
To Escane.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 1.-Two of the
convicts who escaped from the fed
eral penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth Thursday captured Porter S.
Cook, the sheriff of Shawnee county,
yesterday afternoon and kept him
prisoner in a farmhouse until night
fall. Meanwhile they held a posse of
Topeka policemen, deputy sheriffs
and farmers at bay, and finally made
their escape while the posse looked
| on. Before they took the sheriff he
and his deputies shot at them,
wOunding each, one in the leg and
the other in the arm. Before the
fugitives made off they sought to get
even by shooting the sheriff, but the
gun missed fire and Cook lives to tell
the tale.
1t all occurred near Pauline, a little
town six miles south of here on the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road.
About noon some boys who were
hunting saw two white men skulking
in the timber. They wore citizens
Clothes but the boys knew of the es-
cape of the convicts from the federal
penitentiary, and judged from the
conduct of the men that they were
two of the gang. The boys fastened
to town and told the story, and at
once the information was telephoned
to Sheriff Cook in Topeka.
When Sheriff Cook received the
message he and Hall Williams, the
under sheriff, drove in a buggy to
Pauline. They soon located the con-
victs and opened fire upon them.
Their guns were of heavy calfber and
| the convicts fed. The officers pur-
sued, following them into an orchard
on the farm of man named Worces-
ter. Beyond the orchard is Worces-
ter's house, toward which the men
were running.
Here Cook lost sight of them and
he entered the house to make inquiry
of Worcester, whom he knows very
WELL but instead of Worcester, one
of the convicts came to the door, and
in moment Cook was prisoner and
disarmed. Cook was taken so COM
pletely by surprise that he made no
resistance and after the convict had
taken a Winchester rifle and a S.
caliber revolver from him he was
forced to sit on a chair while the con-
Wet stood over him with the revolver
he had captured. Close by Worcester
was seated, guarded by the other con-
Wet. There was little necessity, how
ever, for Worcester to be guarded,
for he had been desperately wounded.
When the cOnvicts ran into his house
he reached for shotgun and one of
the convicts beat him over the head
with a gun. He was also wounded in
+JO = =
that a surgeon has been sent from
here to dress his wounds.
The convicts made their escape
from the house through the lines of
policemen by shielding themselves
behind the farmers wife and Sheriff
Cook, holding pistols to their heads.
Sheriff Cook ordered the policemen
not to fire. The convicts marched
down the railroad track and disap-
peared into a cornfield.

THE WANDERING SHADE.
ne Afri1S tnvades q Football Field
meets with q Mental Shock and
FOrsOOth Would Fade Away.

And suddenly passed by an inclo-
sure wherein were great multitude
seated upon an amphitheater, watch
ing some event which was transpiring
out upon field all marked with white
bars.
''AhaI" thought I. ''This remindeth
me of the lists! may perchance hap
pen upon some very pretty sword play
here!"
clambered to a good vantage point
and observed the scene with much in
terest. Out upon the field were two
bands of knights in quilted armor and
with hair long and full of burrs. Also
they wore strange devices upon their
noses-the meaning of which I wist
not.
SO friend" said I to bystander,
"canst tell me the name of yon con-
trivance which sticketh upon the
noses of the contending knights even
as court plaster?"
$50 to!" said the stranger. ''Those
are nose protectors"
Creamery, good sir!" quoth I, ''but
why protect the nose and allow the
rest of the body to be put upon the
bum? Is the nose, then, the most
cherished possession of the people OF
this peculiar age?"
just then our attention was attract
ed by a great tumult. One line OF
knights ran toward the other line,
carrying a ball the size of mans
head. There was a crash, a cloud OF
dust, a wondrous commingling of
writhing legs and arms, and then the
whole company of knights painfully
untangled and came forth again. Some
lay motionless upon the ground, while
others limped away to die. And UP
in the amphitheater many youths with
canes and gaudy ribbons arose and
opened their mouths widely and stared
and bawled raucously:
"Smacketty-whack!
Ker-whack! Ker-whacki
Set i'm down hard on jagged big tack!'
Or thus it sounded to mine ears.
could not withstand the excite
ment of the scene, which reminded me
of Agincourt. 1 drew my blade and
rushed between the contending
knights and thundered:
''What no! Gadzooks and have al
thee! S'death! S'bloodi-''
Alasi There was rush-a shock
and I found myself lying upon the
ground in a suffocating dust with %
lusty knights piled above my ghostly
frame. So overcome was that 1 was
compelled to fade away into thin air
and slowly ooze out of the mass. Yea,
verify, twas the only way could es-
cape.
But the knights of the present fight
not as in the days of old.
And in the language of this peculiar
people, 81 pass it up"
