Pearl Marshall brought suit yesterday

twenty years old, while he is an elderly
man. They were married in a romantic
manner Nov &c, 1900 She says Marshall

was amply able to care for her and her
mother. whom she had helped to support
since she was thirteen years old by work

About Road Repairing.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
What am going to write may not be
of any interest to politicians, bet ii will
be of interest to the people of every county
in the State which has a system of free
gravel roads. In Montgomery county we
have about $50 miles of improved road,
built at a cost of not far from $500 per
mile. The thing we now need is some
law under which the roads can be kept
in repair We don't want law under
which roads can be repaired, but one that
will keep them from ever getting out of
repair. The roads, TO make them useful.
should have a hard, smooth and even sur
face during the entire year. and this end
can be attained only by system of con-
tinual attention and work. Every one
knows IL is far better and cheaper to fill
a chuck hole as soon as it appears, and
when a peck of gravel would suffice, than
to wait till the hole will require a wagon
load to level 1t up TO the surrounding sur
face In the one case the cost would be
but few cents, in the other perhaps
dollar. And the spending of the few cents
at the proper time would be far prefer
able to spending the dollar in the other
case; because, by the first-named method,
we should not only save 30 per cent. OF
the expense, but would have smooth,
to run ON. There is nothing else that spells
a road SC rapidly allowing water to col
lect in puddles and stand on it for days,
but this can be prevented in no other way
than by a system that will make il the
duty of somebody to fill up all depres-
sions in the road as soon as they appear.
/ recently had some correspondence with
L. p Spur, road superintendent in Fayette
county Kentucky. He has under his care
4oo miles of road. His plan is this: He
purchases all his material from the low
est bidder, and has Ii placed at short in
tervais along the road so ii may be avail
able i'm all kinds of weather The pur-
chase of this material is the big item
of cost in keeping his roads i'm good con-
dition. He purchases enough at one time
to last for a whole year. Then he hires
day laborers to constantly place this ma
terial, which is crushed limestone on the
road wherever it may be needed to keep
the surface of the road continually smooth.
level and hard and slightly elevated in
the middle SO that all falling water will
run Immediately into the side bitches Side
bitches are also kept open and perfectly
free from all Instructions. so that no water
will stand by the roadside. And now for
the result Mr.. Spur informs me that
by the method he has adopted the roads
are kept in first-class repair and that the
cost thereof has been reduced more than
one-half. What we need is a system of
continual work. 1t will not only save much
money, but give roads worth what we
pay for them. p. s. KENNEDY.

A GUARDIANSHIP CASE.
Efie Simpson Is Hard to Please in
the Matter.

There was a stirring time I'm ne pro-
bate department yesterday afternoon over
the appointment of a guardian for Ettie
Simpson, fourteen years old. William l..
Finley had filed a bond as guardian of
the girl the day before, but it had net
yet been approved. The girls father is
in prison at Noblesville under a charge
of larceny, and when he heard a guardian
was to be appointed he sent an attorney
to this city to investigate. The girls
mother died several years ago, the only
estate left being an insurance policy for
Sl02. The undertakers who buried her
wanted a guardian appointed so that they
could get their money.
When the appointment came to issue
before Judge Walker there were three con-
testants for the guardianship. The father
was willing to let his attorney be appoint
ed guardian, providing his daughter would
consent, or let the appointment or Finley
stand, IL she was willing. The girl would
not consent to either, and wanted Mrs.
Allen, with whom she lives, appointed.
Each applicant was represented by an at
torney, and the principal contention ap-
peared to be to prevent the other from
being successful. The result was that the
bond that had already been filed was not
approved, and the case was continued till
tomorrow to allow the attorneys TO get
together and settle upon one person, ac-
ceptable TO the girl, to act as guardian.

to be reaped from the exploitation of China.
The fallacy OF such hopes has been ex-
posed again and again, but to no purpose,
and now the powers, seeing into what
hornets nest they have Numbered. cannot
gracefully retreat. Their acceptation, after
all of the open door shows the extent OF
their errors. Recognized earlier, as emma
has never ceased to demand, the theory OF
the "open door, would have averted the
revolt; il would never have broken out and
no expedition would have been necessary.
More than ever il is necessary TO study
impartially, scientifically, the Chinese
question Economists and not diploma
lists are alone capable of throwing light
on the question by showing what has
been asserted continually oy the highest
authorties-namely, that the enormous
economical advantages hoped from China
are non-eXistent, but so far the diplo-
matists have simply ignored their conclu-
sions and calmly continued their ABSURD
and criminal course.
The special ports are utterly useless:
they are simply permanent centers OF
patriotic fermentation, and the fermenta-
ton thus provoked can but increase con.
tinually. The present insurrection Is put
a superficial symptom of deep-lying
irritation and a warning. No half meas
ures dear to the diplomatic service can
alay this irritation, the dangers Oh wnich
are to be gained no doubt, and fruitful
harvest of future negotiations with fresh
honors in their train is thus prepared.
But the yellow peril Is aggravated, not
diminished.
What besides can possibly be objected
to my demand that the question should
be treated scientifically in "A spirit of i'm
partial inquiry? AS TO the results of
such an inquiry my mind is at ease. The
immortality and the fallacy at once of the
heartless exploitation of the poorest of
races by the richest will be established
once and for ALL A few SPECTATORS, a
few Adventures, may be enriched, but the
nations OF Europe will be poorer by far.
From a business point of view the specu-
lation of Europe spells ruin.

IN THE HIGH COURTS.
ID. NJ. Bradbury's Claim for Attor-
ney's Fees-Other Claims.

The Supreme Court yesterday reversed
the decisions in two cases. entitled Francis
T. Hord. Trustee, and Others, VS..
Daniel M. Bradbury. These cases grew
out of the services of Bradbury
as attorney for the bondholders,
under a mortgage, on Deatys addi-
ton to the city of indianapolis. During the
time he was trustee he had sold lots to the
value of more than $4,000, of which he had
turned over $1,000 TO the creditors, and he
asked the same amoEnt for himself the
remainder having been consumed by ex-
penses. The court refused to allow him
anything for the time he served as attorney
before he was appointed trustee under
the deed, and cut down his allowance to
less than $1,000. Bradbury paid $1,000 of the
money and judgment was pronounced
against him for $500 more He then
brought suit and obtained a judgment for
500 for attorneys fees and an injunction
forbidding the collection of the judgment
recovered by the trustee against him, and
the Supreme Court yesterday reversed both
OF the Judgments.
The decision i'm the case of Ellen Leary
VS. Benjamin Richcreek was affirmed by
the Appellate Court yesterday. Mrs. Leary
suffered judgment foreclosing a street i'm
provement lien for the assessment and an
attorney fee.
The petition for rehearing in the case
of the Knights Templars and Masons Life
indemnity Company VS.. Elizabeth N. Du-
bois was overruied by the Appellate Court.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Views of VI. De Bloch, Privy Councillor
of the Car of Russia.

New York Independent.
Nothing can be more comical than the
solemn seriousness with which the powers
at present attempting to impose on
China absolutely impossible conditions of
peace. The terms are such as China
neither can nor will respect. Had she mill
tary force at her command she would not
accept them for Gay. And the acquisition
Of such force is a mere question of time.
The prohibition of all Importation of arms
will not retard her materially; the arsenals
and manufactures she already possesses
ere sufficient TO equip her fully in the next
decade or two. Even should the govern
ment accept the heavy demands of the
powers it could not fulfill its promises.
Clearly the government is less free agent
than an instrument The whole tenor or
recent events proves this Enthusiastically
The revolt OF the Boxers was opposed
to it's every interest. 1t could neither
crush 1t nor openly turn it to its advan-
tage Rapidly as China is arming itself
il. few years time it could with ease
either have quelled the insurrection or
turned IL with impunity against the white
devils. At present 1t could do neither.
And thus while appearing TO encourage
the destruction of the legations the gov
eminent secretly protected them or they
would most certainly have succumbed.
Such was the hypothesis / stated some
time back in articles on the Chinese ques-
ton. To my great satisfaction 1 that
Sir Robert Hart in his article on the siege
of the legations published by the Fort
nightly Review absolutely confirms my
view.
To punish the government the heads OF
some OF the leading members are now de-
manded. This is equivalent to suppressing
the government itself or. rather, exacting
its suicide. In its place ii would most GER
tainly become at once necessary 10 set up
some other government. To suppose that
any government named by Europe would be
popular or even tolerated by the Chinese is
the height of absurdity. The result of such
conduct can be anarchy alone. and TO put
an end 10 such anarchy IL is probable China
would call in the aid OF Japan. Japan is
ready and eager 10 step in. Its intervention
would be catastrophe for Europe and the
yellow devil' would indeed exist under its
more terrible form.
II would be far better for Europe TO show
extreme moderation in it's demands. Unfor-
tunately IL is hardly probable we shall lis
ten TO the voice OF common sense. We con-
tinue to believe enormous advantages are
