DIVORCE IN MEXICO
The Republic, by . Recent Deolsi0n,
 Does Not Recognise Divoress z
 Granted fn United Statos. < x

The laws of Mexico have always been strict in regard to marriages and divorces. Recently case has been decided in the City of Mexico which attracted attention on account of the plaintiffs prominence in society and the legal points Involved. In fact, the civil court found it necessary to estab- fish precedent. as no case of the same character has been tried in the republic, says the New York Times. In 1895 an American citizen, Edgar Joseph Hahn, of St. Louis, married a young Mexican lady, Senorita Par Diez Barrosso. The wedding was so- ciety event and some, of the chief dig nitaries< of the land were present. Mutual disillusionment and sePara- tion followed, baby girl being left with the, mother. The lady in the case is the plaintiff, and, it is said, she desires to marry again.
 The rules of the Roman Catholic church do not permit divorcee to marry. The question of one desiring to do 50 was not to be considered by the church, and there was no civil law to cover the case. The laws of re- form make Ia civil sceremony neces- sary to legal marriage. As Roman Catholics consider marriage 8 sacra- ment, both civil and religious. rites are the rule, and the former taking place first. In case of annulment of the marriage contrac new VOWS may be taken.
 The plaintiff in question claimed to have discovered after her marriage that her husband; had wife living, from whom he was divorced. There fore. as her church did not allow her 7 to marry a divorced manor him to marry her-she prayed that the con tract be declared null and void. This. it is said, the church was ready to do, but. "a civil ceremony being necessary, it fell to the court to decide her real status. and it has taken several months to reach a decision, as it felt the responsibility of establishing a law which, in view of the steady growth of foreign colonies in the re- public,s may be frequently tested.
 the man had io right to marry, the lady's situation was g peculiar though she chose to accept it, if thereby she is allowed to make new marriage. Fourth Civil Judge Jesus F. 'Uriate decided the marriage to be null and void, owing to prior union on the mans part, though he had been divorced from his wife in the United States, where it was lawful act. for him to marry aRain.

An Ingenious Topper.

An eminent tragedian, given to In
toxicants, was once locked up in a
room at the rear of the theater to keep
him in proper condition till he was call
ed to go on the stage. One door of the
compartment opened on the street, and
while looking through the keyhole he
saw man passing.
Calling him up to the door, he pushed
some money through crack and in
structed him to go to the public house
at the opposite corner and procure a
pint Of gin and clay pipe. promising
to reward him for his trouble.
The man did as directed. and when
he returned with the articles, the actor
told him to put the stem Of the pipe
through the keyhole and pour the gin
carefully into the bowl.
These instructions the accommodate
ing individual also followed, and the
result was that when the manager call
ed to notify him of his turn he found
him in very happy frame Of mind.

to add to his fame as an actor.-Lon-

Horses In Battle.

One Of the most curious sights to be
seen in cavalry charge is the various
riderless horses galloping in the line in
perfect order. At the charge Of Rala-
klava the front rank Of one regiment
was composed to great extent of rid.
erless animals, their masters having
dropped one By one. 1t would seem
that in the excitement of the moment
the horses lose all conception of what
is happening around them and proba-
bly, fail to notice the fall Of their rid
ers.
The return Of riderless horses to
camp Is an almost certain sign Of de-
feat. When a cavalry charge is sue
cessful, the horses will, as have said,
all keep up together, even though they
have lost their riders, but when force
ia routed the first news Of Ill omen to
those in the rear will be the return Of
the horses with empty saddles and
stirrups dangling free. No more sorry
sight can be imagined. To illustrate
the callous feeling these animals have
under fire a case which happened at
Ladysmith during the siege may be
cited. A farrier sergeant was engaged
in shoeing an officers horse in the open
ground behind the stables Of hotel
and had already put one or two nails
into the shoe when shell came scream
ing through the air. The next mo-
ment the missile burst five or six yards
away from where the sergeant and the
horse were standing, and the splinters
flew around both, but failed to touch
either. When the smoke had cleared,
the horse was to be seen with its foot
still in the mans apron, quite undis-
turbed by the incident. - Pearson's

There is nothing sordid about it.

Screven county, just across the Ogeechee.
died this morning at the advanced age of
96 years. He was the oldest man in these
parts by several years and was as spry
and agile up to about one year ago as a
man of fifty. He was very fond OF horse

Gently. He mounted and dismounted all
alone and attended to his own affairs He
died of dtseutery, the disease that is so

leaves a large number of children and
grandchildren in that section, and is the
grandfather of Miss Isabelle Hollings-
worth, who is expected to teach in the
Normal Institute here this fall. Mr. Hol-
lingsworth was reared in the community
in which he lived, and saved up a con-
siderable fortune, placing all his money in
the bank.

Conside rable interest is manifested here

is to be put on next Sunday The train
will arrive here about $50 a. m. from Bru-
ton and about $50 from Savannah. 1t will
be very convenient for the business men
as the. can get their work started off in
the morning, go to town and return early
in the evening. 1t hardly gives time
enough In Savannah but as there are other

people here will have fine service. Every
one is wanting to know If the shoofiy will
continue as 1t now runs Some think that
II will and some that it will not One
great advantage that the train will give
is the increased mail facilities. Hereto
fore the mails from the upper portion of
the county have had to go via Bruton and
were long time in reaching their desti-

The farmers are having trouble with

The Defender is to be towed to Porto
