Mark Jones, ST., very justly COM
plains of the vandalism of some parties
unknown in the city cemeteries. In a
communication to Oily he says that
somebody had driven a team and
wagon across the grave of his wife,
and that grave-stones and monuments
have been Clipped by some wanton
wretch who has neither fear OF the
dead or the living to restrain him from
his despicabe acts. Mr.. Jones thinks
that ne has clue to the perpetrator
Of at least one outrage, and he intends
to prosecute if the chain of evidence
can be connected so as to ensure con-
viction. No punishment is too severe
for such transgression of rights re.
garded by every civilized being as
sacred.

The divorce suit OF Kate Charlie vs.
Tenas Charlie, who have for many
years been living together under the
aboriginal form recognized only as q
contract by the civil law. have left a
very interesting legal problem unsolved
by settling their differences out OF

ing to make up, but Kate insisted, as
a condition, that they should be mar
ried in lawful fashion, which would
protect her interest in property OF
considerable value-estimated at from
$25 900 to $4,000. She further stip-
ulated that Tenas should promise GER
tain reformatory acts and give assur.
