New York, Jan. Fannie Ray Nc
Comb has risked the loss of millions
for loves sake and has just married
Lewis Herzig. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. DIR. Henry Van

to Mr.. Herzog as a prospective son-in-
law. and a few days before his death
he added a codIcil to his will which has
deferred the wedding until the present.
Mr.. McCombs's fortune was estimated
at the time of his death at ups. I'D of
$40, 600, 900. BY the provisions of his
will, which has been existence fer years
his daughter Fannie would have re-
ceived upward of "a. ZOO. 900. BY the co.
dicil 1t was provided that is she were
married to Mr.. Herzog she would be
shut off with an income of Sit, 900 dur
ing her life, $500, 900 to go on her death
to each of her children absolutely. Soon
after her fathers death Miss McComb,
thru Attorney w. w. McFarlane,
brought suit against the Title Guar
anty and Trust Company, executors of
her fathers will, seeking to have the
courts declare the new codicil void. The
courts refused to consider the question
prior to the marriage of Miss McComb.

With Lot On Conditions
Council Has Acted.
Deal will Be Closed Immediate.
~ and Library Built
Next Summer.

M%arshalltown will have a Carnegie
library. That much is settled. 1t only
remains now for certain formaiities to
be observed until the exact amount
and terms are decided upon.
Mr.. P. S. IBalch, who has been con-
Quoting the negotiations for the library
trustees, received ali informal letter
this morning from Jas. Bertram, sec
rotary to Mr.. Carnegie, stating that
Mr.. Carnegie would he pleased to pro-
vide a large sum for a library in Mar
shalltown If the city council would
by resolution provide for its perma-
nent maintenance and If the city would
furnish a suitable site. h city coun-
ell has already done this and a two
mill library tax has been voted which
at the present property valuation Will
yield $4,000 annually. A citizen of
Marshalltown has already promised to
donate a lot on certain conditions and
all that remains to be done is for him
to name his terms, for the citizens to
meet them and the trustees to show
Mr.. Carnegie that the deed for the lot
is in their hands. The money for the
building will then be forthcoming either
$4,000 or $50, 200, whichever Mr.. Car

thru him and when he gets thru Invests

Carnegie lever sees them or are recon-
mended and usually granted by this
prince of givers. Maishalltown's appli-
cation has been under consideration a
long time and has be.en recommended.
Mr.. Bertram now says Mr.. Carnegie
will be glad to provide the money en- his
terms. The deal will of course be closed
as soon as possible. When finally set
tied Mr.. Carnegie will furnish HE own
plans or Marshalltown a submit

they meetswith the approval of Mr.. Car
negie's architects. ldarshalltown citi-
zens will see a Carnegie library built In

need to do is to NEE. the terms Of the
generous and public-spirited citizen who
has offered to donate. the lot. He will

NEW MARRIAGE LAW.
Common Law Marriages Abolished in
New York,

AOI1HOu Law MARRIAGES HN0iioiOA Nv
New York.
New York, Jan, with the old year
c~ommon-law marriages in this state
went out, and beginning yesterday a
new law recognizing marriage by civil
contract took effect. BY the signing of
a written agreement in the presence of
two witnesses. acknowledging it before
a notary and fling h paper with the
county clerk a man and woman may le-
gally wed in New York state.
In abolishing the old law, it's abuse by
designing persons has been done away
with, and the services of clergymen,
justices of the peace and aldermen are
made no longer necessary to tie the
marriage knot. Lawyers who have CIV
en- the new law attention say that 1t
will require further amendment to pre-
vent it's being used to the injury of one
or the other Of the contracting parties
by a failure to make it a matter of rec
ord.
Assemblyman John A. Weekes, Jr.,
introduced the bill in the legislature
last February. 1t passed both house in
April and received the governors sigma
ture.
1t is the last clause in the law that
has aroused criticism. If both parties
contract a marriage. put neglect to rec
ord 1t within six months thru careless
ness of he intent of the husband or
wife, the marriage is invalid.
1t is pointed out that a husband may
wilfully deceive a wife about recording
the certificate and after the interval has
passed may desert her. 1t is suggested
also that the law provides an i%nconsist-
ency by recognizing a man and woman
as husband and wife for five months
and tw%enty-nine or thirty days, and
then, if no certificate is filed, declaring
their marriage illegal.
In advocacy of the bill Assemblyman
Weekes pointed to many cases in the
courts in which designing women had
posed as widows and claimed estates OF
men deceased. The new law recognizes
all marriages solemnized by clergymen,
and no decrease in the number of
church weddings is expected.

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
David Dinsies. a Former Resi-
dent Of the City. Killed
in Nebraska.
Was a Brother Of Mrs. G. W
Carey and Left Here Twenty
Years Ago.

David Dingies, a resident of this city
twenty years ago and a brother of Mrs.
G. w. Carey, OF No. 300 West Linn
street, was killed Wednesday MORN
ing at Fremont, Neb.. by being run
over by a train.
News Of MI. Dingies' death was re-
ceived by Sheriff Shoemaker, who this
morning received a letter from Coroner
E. w. Martin at Fremont, asking the
officer to seek information concerning a
sister, Mrs. Lavina Carey, who was
supposed to be a resident of MARSHALL
town. Mr.. Shoemaker succeeded in
finding the sister at the address named
and notified her of the death. The Free
mont officials obtained a clue to the
whereabouts Of Mrs. Carey by a letter
written to her brother in August, 1896.
Coroner Martin also said in his COM
munication to the sheriff that Dingies
came to Fremont a number of the years
ago with Dick" Witherspoon, once a
prominent veterinarian and liveryman
Of this city. When Witherspoon left
Nebraska Dingies did not accompany,
him but has since been employed in the
vicinity of Fremont The letter says
that D ngies was killed by being run
over by a train at l o'clock a. nv IAN
uary1 /.
Mr.. Carey says his brother-in-law
was formerly in the employ of Wither-
spoon in this city. but that an trace Of
him had seen lost. The last letter re-
ceived by them from him contained the
information that he would probably go
to Alaska, and Mrs, Carey. hearing no
more from him, had mourned her broth
er 81 dead.
After consultation with the sheriff
Mr.. and Mrs. Carey concluded to sen1
instructions to have the remains in
tered at Fremont. and this will be
done. Mr.. Dingies will be remembered
by many of the older residents Of the
city. He was about 60 years of age.

OLDEST TICKET ON RECORD.
C. r. l. & P. Rsdeeme a Ticket Issued
in 1857.

&c. r. !. & p. Redeeme q Ticket lssued
in 1857.
Chicago, Jan. 2.-Oficials Of the Chi
cage, Rock Island & Pacific railroad
furnished D.. Ralph Waldo Mills of st.
Louis with transportation from Chica-
go to Peoria Tuesday on a ticket issued
In 1857 to L. Lorenz. 1t was an emf
grants ticket, but as 1t bore no limiting
date and was transferable, General Pas
senger and Ticket Agent John Sebastian
honored 1t. gave DR.. Mills a substitute,
and he Immediately left for his desti-
nation.
Romance and tragedy are connected
with the story Of the ticket, which is
the oldest ever redeemed In America.
Lorenz, who was one OF the large party
Of emigrants on their way to Illinois. He
came from Hamburg, Germany.
Lorenz was engaged to be married,
and stories OF the wealth and opportu-
mites In America induced him to post
pone his wedding day and try his for
tune In Illinois. He arrived in New York
and purchased a ticket to Peoria over
the Pennsylvania and Rock Island
railroads. When he reached Chicago
he met Charles Dunshee Of 1852 Sixty
second street. While stopping on the
south side he received a letter from
Germany telling him that the girl he
had hoped to marry had Joined her lot
with that of his rival.
Lorenz wandered about Chicago for
three days and then disappeared. A
thorough search was made by Mr.. Dun
shee and the body OF Lorenz was dis
covered in the old Illinois and Michi-
gan canal, where he had drowned him
self. On his person were found $40 and
the ticket redeemed Tuesday. Mr.. Dun
shee sent the money back to Germany,
but he kept the ticket, not deeming 1t
of value. For forty years 1t lay in his
desk, untouched and unnoticed.
One OF Mr.. Dunshee's favorite rela-
tives was a nephew, DR.. Ralph Waldo
Mills. DR.. Mills for years sent Christ
mas presents to his uncle, but this
season thought he would maxi a visit
instead. During his sojourn the old
ticket was brought out n Mr.. Dun
shee gave 1t to his nephew.
DR.. Mills went to the city passenger
office of the Rock Island in the Mar
quette building and handed the old
piece of cardboard to George F. Lee,
city passenger agent. Lee laughed at
the propositfan of redeeming the ticket,
but on investigation discovered 1t was
good. He never had seen M like 1t,
but withheld his decision until he con-
suited the general passenger and ticket
agent.

as the phrase suggests, founded upon
 the claim that man has @ right to
 pass through this world, if he wills | without having his picture published,
 his business enterprises discussed or his eccentricities commented upon, either in handbills, catalogues, perodlcals or newspapers; necessarily, that the things which may not be written or published
 of him must not be spoken of him by his neighbors, whether the comment be favorable or otherwise. If such prin- clple be incorporated into the body of
 the law, through the instrmentality of
 court of equity the attempts to log ically apply the principle will necessari-
 ly result not only in a vast amount of litigation, but in litigation bordering on the absurd, for the right of privacy, once established as a legal doctrine, cannot be confined to the restraint of the publication of likeness, but must necessarily embrace as we'll the publi- cation of word picture, a comment upon one's looks, conduct, domestic re- lations or habits. An examination of the authorities leads us to the conclu- sion that the so-called right of privacy has not yet found an abiding place in our jurisprudence, and, as we view it, the doctrine cannot now be incorporat- ed without doing violence to settled principles of law, by which the profes- sion and the public have long been guided.
 Some will think that while this doesn't establish the right of privacy it does es- tablish the right of piracy. Pretty young women in New York who don't want their beauty made public will have to be more careful than ever.

The Old Home.

To one forespent with stress of trade
 And schemes of gain in city marts,
 There comes q breath of country hay
 Wafted from passing carts. Fades the long line of brick and stone;
 The streets rude tumult dies away, From money getting for q space
 His soul cries holiday. By that enchantment rapt from town,
 He runs, his hand in Memory's, Up the dear lane to the old home
 Beside the tranquil trees. The gardens myriad cups of bloom
 His withered heart with fragrance flood ; Barn pigeons, coolng, lull to rest
 The unrest of his blood A harp, untouched these many years,
 His soul once more to music wakes; Swept by the wind that bends the grass, And stirs the meadow brakes. And with him down the orchard path,
 Past spring house and the pasture wall; Her spirit walks who taught her child
 Of the love that Is OCT all, The vision yanishes, and straight The streets rude tumult i'll his ears; But in his heart a heavenly strain,
 And in his eyes. sweet tears.
 Charles Francis Saunders in Harper's.
