TRAMP VAINLY FOR
MARRIAGE LICENSE
Youthful Couple Unaware Of Pa
rental Forgiveness.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 21.-Garrett
Graham and Rebecca Grimes, aged Is
and IA, respectively, were refused a
marriage license at Lexington, yester-
day. They walked to Versailles last
night, where they again applied for a
license, and were again turned down.
They walked here today, where they
met similar fate, and when they left
town to avoid arrest, message came
flashing over the wires which will not
only permit them to get spliced, but
will leave them enough to get back
home, where parental forgiveness
awaits them. MIR. Grimes, father of
the girl. telephoned here this after
noon, authorizing Constable David
Harrod to draw on him for $50 at his
home in Wilmore, Jessamine County,
where the father is banker, and tell
ing him to have them married and
sent home at once.
Constable Harrod scurried out after
them to break the news and to take
them before minister, but they had
already gone to the country. They
will be brought back tomorrow, where
license awaits them, and after the
wedding they will be sent home.

OWING to strikes, work on many YES
sells for the army and navy is being de-
layed, and it might prove serious de-
lay, in case of trouble with Germany or
some other unfriendly power. The
Ohio, which was launched last May,
has remained almost untouched, at San
Francisco, and lying close by her are
the Monitor, Wyoming, launched last
September, and the torpedo destroyers,
Preble, Perry and Paul Jones, on which
no work is being done. But worse than
this is the loss that labor and business
are suffering from strikes, because OF
Trusts and Unions. These facts should
bring the people and Government to
realize the great fact, that the Govern
ment has power, and it is its duty to
provide for the general welfare, and
that all Trusts, combinations and
strikes, that menace the public good
should be promptly suppressed.

The Right of Privacy.

The appellate division of the New
York state supreme court has rendered
a decision which is somewhat novel. 1t
upholds the right of the individual to
privacy. A young lady of Rochester
sued two companies for damages be-
cause, without her consent, they used
her portrait for advertising purposes.
She claimed that this was an invasion
of her privacy, and an injury because
of the reputation for boldness and bad
taste which such publication tended
to give her.
The court maintained this view.
Judge Rumsey, in his opinion, said
while the theory upon which the action
Is based is novel, it is an established
principle of the common law that the
person and property of every man is in
violate, and that neither may be inter
fered with without his consent. He
quoted Judge Cooley's dictum that
every person has the right to be let
alone. 81 do not see why this princi-
ple." added Justice Rumsey, ''the OBJ
ject of which is to give to every person
"a complete immunity from the acts OF
others, which subject him to unneces-
sary fear and danger, can't be and
should not be applied to such an act as
is complained of here"
In other words, there is no distinc-
ton in principle between an act which
Injuries ones reputation, such as libel
or slander, and one which diminishes
the respect in which the community
holds him. Further, the court holds
that the right of property in ones
lineaments or limbs must be protected
by the courts. The invention of pho.
Biography has made possible new form
of invasion of this right, by obtaining
a photograph of a person without con.
sent, and using it for public purposes
The development of new forms of inva
sion of the right privacy is thus met by
the courts with new application oi
old and well-tried principles of the com
mon law.-Toledo Blade.

HOGE NOMINATED
FOR GOVERNOR
Chosen By the Republican Con.
vention at Roanoke After
Long Fight.

Roanoke, Va, Aug. 21.-The Repub-
lican State Convention assembled here
in the Academcy of Music at noon to-
day. On the faces of the 1,2OO persons
in the auditorium there was a look of
expectancy. This is the first Republic
can convention that has named a
straight ticket in this State since the
days of General William Malone. The
crowd was good-natured, and every one
seemed to feel kindly disposed to his
neighbor, whether Hoge or anti-Hoge.
II there was bitterness, it was latent
and was to become evident, if at all,
later on, when the proceedings were
under way.
Pictures OF Mckinley and Roosevelt,
were in prominence.
While the roll was being called 6
great storm was aroused by the decision
of the Secretary to omit from the cal
Richmond and Roanoke, because o
contesting delegations. Hugh Gordon
Miller, of Newport News, tried to speal
on the ruling OF the Secretary, but hi
voice drowned in the tumult. He final
ly succeeded in having the contestin!
delegations sent to the Credential
| Committee.
c. A. Heermans, of Montgomery, wa
made temporary Chairman. The nam
of J. Hampton Hoge and General
Walker and Rosser were cheered. @
the five living Confederate Generals i
Virginia four are in attendance.
After a long and confusing fight, las
ing until after midnight, ]. Hampto
Hoge was nominated for Governor.

A COUPLE is reported living at Up
per Sandusky, Ohio, who have been
married So years. But when we read
that they are colored people, our faith
in the record of this unusual connubial
longevity, vanishes. Many of the
negroes and Irish who are reported tC
be of extraordinary age, simply have
no records, and their extreme age i:
only a matter of guess or Imagination
In the case at Upper Sandusky, there
are no children of an age to indicate
such longevity of the parents, but 6
number of children. whose ages mol
names are given, are said to have dice
when they were young.

Five More Lives Lost.

Another disaster occurred in the
Cleveland tunnel under Lake Erie,
Tuesday night. A terrific explosion
occurred in the tunnel at Crib No. 3,
that cracked the heavy casing at the
intake, so that the waters of the lake
ran in and drowned five men who were
there at work. One of them was Will
liams, a man who had so heroically
gone into the tunnel week before to
rescue the unfortunate men at crib No.
2, where they were imprisoned by the
fire. The cause of the accident is not
known, but it is supposed vein of gas
was struck and the gas in some way
was ignited. Heavy iron girders,
weighing more than hundred tons,
were thrown out of the shaft.

GOVERNMENT REPORTS.
Late Corn is Improving.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary OF crop con-
dition is as follows:
1.-The temperature conditions of the
week, have been favorable, except in
the North Pacific Coast, where it has
been excessively warm. The Middle
and South Atlantic and East Gulf
States including Tennessee, have suf-
fered from heavy rains, the South At
lantic and East Gulf States and Ten
nessee experiencing damage by winds
as we'll as injury from overfows. The
greater part of Texas and portions OF
the Missouri and upper Mississippi Val
leys and upper lake regions continue to
suffer from drought, and drought Is
beginning to affect crops in Oregon
and Washington. The Rocky Noun
tain Region and California have had
an exceptionally favorable week.
LATE CORN Is BETTER.
A very general Improvement in the
condition of late corn is indicated In
the principal corn States. In Iowa, the
crop is materially improved, and more
promising than was deemed possible
Aug. 1, but the yield is still contingent
upon additional moisture very soon and
the absence of frosts the latter part ol
September. Late corn has improved
in extreme Southeast Nebraska, but
continues to suffer for rain in centra
and northern counties.
In the eastern and western portions
of Kansas late corn is much improved,
but in the central counties rain came
too late too save the crop. In som'
portions of Missouri late corn is pro
crossing well, but in most sections i
suffering for rain. Good rains in Hi
nois, Indiana and Ohio have improves
the outlook, especially in Indiana, but
as in other portions of the corn belt
the greater part of the early corn ha
. been ruined. The propitious outlOol
|. for corn in the Middle Atlantic State
and New England continues.
The weather has been favorable TO
the spring wheat harvest in all sec
tions. Harvesting is nearly fnishe
, iu the Dakotas. Minnesota and Orego
and is in progress in Washington
where, owing to excessive heat, tn
grain has ripened somewhat too rapid
:, ly. In North Dakota, owing to tn
shrunken berry and poorly filled heads
the yield of spring wheat is provin
disappointing.
The general outlook for apples col
tinues very unpromising, althoug
slightly improved conditions are r.
ported from portions of Ohio. Indian
and Illinois. The excessive rains hay
caused peaches to rot extensively
, the Middle and South Atlantic State
u Generally to the east of the Missi
sippi River the soil is in excellent col
dition for fall plowing, and favorabl
progress with this work has been mad
. in Kansas, Nebraska and oklahom
y but in the Upper Mississippi Valley tt
y ground is generally too dry.

RESCUED!
Two Men Who We're Shut
Up in a Tunnel Under
Lake Erie.
Rescued After Five Days Of Dark
ness, Starvation and
Suffering.

Monday last, two men, Adam Kest
and Joseph Eugine, who were working
on the new water works tunnel, under
lake Erie. that is to furnish Cleveland
with water, and who were cut off from
communication with the world the
Wednesday before, by the burning of
the crib at the outer end of the tunnel,
were rescued from their living tomb.
The crib was burned before daylight
Wednesday morning when all hands
were asleep. A number of men were
burned to death or drowned. A crew
was in the tunnel below. BY the burn
ing of the crib the pumping machinery
was stopped and the first notice those
in the tunnel had of any thing wrong
was the rising of the water and the in
crease of gas.
AS soon as the fire was put out. an
effort was made to rescue those in the
tunnel. Rescuing parties went down
from the crib and a number OF those
below were brought up in safety, but
a number could not be found, and
some had perished. Two of the rescu
ing party died from the effects of the
gas but their bodies were brought up
All who were not found after Q
diligent search were supposed to have
perished. But on Monday morning
following, while force of workmeI
were repairing the crib and machinery
i ~ s,,ra,;ntarlanf nf <hn ot
crib heard faint rapping on one of tn
pipes that ran down into the tunnel
Going to the pipe he listened closel.
and again heard the faint signal. HI
Immediately gave a responsive sigma
on the pipes, to the great surprise an
wonder of those about him, none @
whom had heard the rapping below
and could hardly believe him.
But there were no ropes or other az
pliances for going below. and no boat
near, and they had to wait until the
could signal a passing tug, when wor
was sent to the life saving station an
appliances brought out. When thes
arrived the superintendent descende
into the tunnel and found two me
who were alive, but very weak, a shol
distance from the tunnel.
Going back to the top of the shat
Superintendent VanDuzen called fo
volunteers to go down with him an
rescue the two men found alive, an
; one man stepped forward. These tw
descended, and carried the two in
: prisoned men through the water to th
q shaft where they were drawn up, in
u feeble and emaciated condition, unab
to talk, and they were hurried ashol
to hospital.
}, The men learned from the accuml
lation of gas and the increase of th
e water in the tunnel, that somethin
= had happened, and gradually mad
e their way to the shaft. They wei
u nearly starved and were becomin
l. prostrated from the effects of the ga
y and water and did not know how mar
days they had been in the tunnel whe
e rescued. They remained in the no
l. pital for several hours before the
o could converse, but are now out of dal
n ger.
u Ten men in all lost their lives by tt
