ABUSE OF FAMILY
PRED HAWTHORNE. OF DETROIT
STREET, UNDER ARREST.
He struck His on the Head
with a Crock Of Beans Pre-
yiOus Assaults.

Fred Hawthorne. living at 23S Detroit
avenue. was arrested yesterday and
charged with assault and battery upon his
wife and other members Of his family. The
arrest was made by Bicycle Policemen
Griffin and Manning. TO whom Mrs. Haw-
thorne told a pitiful story. She said her
husband had many times abused her by
beating and otherwise. usually when he
came home under the influence of liquor.
Yesterday morning they had some words.
and he went away. after partly finishing
his meal. When he returned he again
went to the table and began picking about
what was left there. Mrs. Hawthorne
told him to hurry and get through eating.
ms she wanted TO clean up and get ready
for church. There was on the table n
stone crock filed with baked beans. After
a heated argument he picked VI the crock
Of beans and started to strike his wife.
Their sixteen-ycar-old daughter stepped in
between them and told Hawthorne he
should not strike her mother. The girl.
as happens TO most p~eacemakers. was the
sufferer. She received the blow from the
crock on the forehead. a deep cash was
cut. allowing the flesh of the forehead to
hang down over one eye. Her injuries were
dressed at the city Dispensary. They are
not dangerous, Tor the blow was a glancing
one. only sufficient TO tear the flesh and not
enough TO fracture the skull.
When Hawthorne was sent to police
headquarters the police who were wait
ing for the wagon were surrounded by
neighbors of the family. all OF whom had
complaints 10 make against the treatment
which me prisoner had accorded his fam
fly. The bicycle policemen took the names
OF eight, but gave up the job. as there were
too many for their limited time there.
The bicycle policemen were sent TO Haw-
thorEe's house several weeks ago, at which
time he became violent and injury 10 some
member Of the family was feared. He
was. However controlled by tying him with
a clothesline before the police arrived.

A Bridal Couple Kissed.

Worcester, Mass. Special.-One Of
the most sensational scenes ever wit
messed in this city was enacted at
st. Johns R. c. church Wednesday,
when Mary E. Donaher. teacher in
the public schools Of Worcester, was
married to DR.. Maurice w. Quinn. a
dentist, of Brocton. AS the wedding
party entered the church it was met
with Kisses from 1000 women, who
had apparently gathered for that par
ticular purpose. A detail Of police
were present to protect the bride and
groom, but they were entirely power
less to maintain order. The women
rushed by and around them close 20
the wedding party and gave vent to
their feelings in no uncertain manner.
The demonstration grew out of the at
tempted shooting ofDr. Quinn, several
days ago by Miss Bertha Condor, OF
this city. who asserted Quinn had be-
trayed her under promise of marriage.

INDIANA DEMOCRATS
Substance of Their Declaration OF
Principles.

Indianapolis, Special.-For Secre-
tary of State, Albert Schoonover, OF
Attica; Attorney General, W. E. Still
well, of Princeton; State Auditor.
James r. Riggs, of Sullivan; state
Treasurer, Jerome Herff. of Peru.
The above ticket. and a number OF
candidates for minor offices, were
nominated at the Democratic State
convention which was held here
Wednesday.
The gathering was remarkable for
its lack OF discord, candidates for all
but three of the Offices being chosen
by reclamation. The only contest on
the floor of the convention was for
the office of Secretary Of State. While
there was no fight in the convention
proper. that was a battle royal in the
meeting of the committee.
The friends of VIM. ]. Bryan, from
the second district, were very earnest
" in favor of the insertion in the
platform of a plank endorsing him
and the Kansas City platform. The
majority of the committee was against
any such endorsement, saying they
considered it out Of place at the pres
ent time to inject Mr.. Bryan's name
into the State campaign. The fight
lasted we'll into the night and it was
nearly noon today before the report
of the committee was ready for pre-
sentation to the convention. The
plank also created much discussion,
the committee being called upon to
consider all sorts of opinions in be-
half of the Filipinos, some of them
being in favor of immediate and COM
plete independence.

Southern Education Board.

In a graphic account of the educa-
tional conference held at Athens, Ca,
last month, John S. Cohen, staff cor
respondent of the Atlanta Journal,
says:
Reduced to its last analysis, this
Southern Educational Conference, the
coming OF Mr.. Ogden and his party,
simply means that in the future the
money expended in the South from out
side sources for the education of whites
and blacks will not be expended by
generous but misguided philanthropists
but by practical and thoughtful men in
the manner devised py Southern minds
and through agencies guided by South
ern hands.
Nothing could be manlier or finer
than the attitude OF these Northern
men OF means here today.
AS one of them expressed it:
You have shown us that the South
is trying heroically to deal not only
with the negro. but with great unprivi-
legged masses Of its white population.
You understand your own people and
your own problems as we do not. This
work is. therefore, yours. Take it and
do it. In so far as We can help you, we
are at your service. We have no de-
sire to meddle or interfere. If you will
take the helm we will stand by you,
not as Northerners but as fellow-citi-
zens Of common country"
A nob!er spirit could not be breathed
into language and none need not doubt
that this correctly characterizes the
aims and motives OF all these men. 1t
is neither charity nor pity that they Of
fer, but fraternity and patriotism, and
/ much mistake the temper of the peo-
pie of the South if they do not accept
1t as such.
In proof that these are not simply
fine words these men of mind and
means have put their work largely in
the hands of Southern men-not un-
practical idle dreamers, but those 10
BILE spirits who unaided have been bat
tling for the education Of the poorer
clases Of the South these many years,
with limited means and oftentimes, sad
to say, small appreciation.

PLAY GULF UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Ancient and Modern Enthusiasts Are
! Much Alike.

Much Alike.
1t is not generally thought that golf
ts a dangerous game, though now and
then a fore caddy is picked off, and
Wanderers on the links often think
they are in danger of their lives. But
if not in itself risky to life and limb.
golf is a game for the sake OF which
its devoteeS have run immense risks.
In this respect perhaps no other game
can compare with it, and only wild
game shooting among sports. The IN
cidental dangers are suggested by
writer in Golf, who has heard Of the
golfing of some Scotch soldiers in Af-
rica. They acquired some clubs from
some quite unknown quarter, and used
to ride over to Maseru to play the
game, in spite of the numerous snipers
In the locality. The enthusiasm was
more remarkable as it was necessary
to carry around a gun as we'll as the
clubs. But the riskiness of the amuse-
ments is nothing to the dangers faced
by their Scots ancestors in the High
lands. A man with half a dozen blood
feuds, so it is asserted, would journey
down to the links, dispense his small
band of followers as scouts on the
hills. take off his hauberk. and drive
his ball furiously till the first note OF
warning. Whether the tale is strictly
historical may be doubted by precise
historians; but the game is old enough
to justify the writer, and it is fair to
argue that if Scotsmen and English
men to-day carry their golf clubs to
the seat Of war and play in the pres
ence OF snipers, the ancient hero show
ed no less courage in the pursuit Of
his favorite pastime.-London Globe.
