AN OLD ALABAMA LAW.
Statute Designed to Check Runaway
 Marriages No Longer in Force.

A little before his marriage day, the young man had reached sorry pass. Though he lived in New York, the girl lived in Alabama. His own home had been in Georgia, and three days before his departure for the marriage festival his Georgian lawyer sent an urgent dispatch. The lawyers father had been married to an Alabama girl, too, and the lawyer remembered a family tale of the bridegroom'S sud denly having found it necessary to de- posit with the authorities of lis brides state a $500 personal bond, Now the young Georgian living in New York had gathered together some store of cash as befits Benedick in spe, but to the minutiae of inter- state credit he had given scant con- cern. In the town where his be- trothed lived he knew no one of sub stance to supply the bond. Where fore telegrams between him and the Georgian lawyer multiplied until they made astack some dozens deep. Hop ing against hope, and still delinquent in what he had been told his brides state would require, he left disconso- lately for the south, uncertain wheth- CT the invitations to the wedding would not have to be recalled. Once in the old home, however, the jealous attorney was able to say that he had finally discovered that this particular statute of the state of Alabama, de- signed to check runaway marriages, had long since been repealed.-N.

HISTORIC DOUBT RAISED.
Respecting the Duke of wellington's
 Duel with Lord Winchilsea.

Respecting the Duke of Wellington's
 Duel with Lord Winchilsea.
 An historic doubt has been raised respecting the duke of Wellington's duel with Lord Winchilsea. In the official life of the duke, Sir Herbert Maxwells, the account runs as fol- lows: "The duke leveled his pistol at once, but, seeing that Lord Winchilsea did not move, seemed 10 hesitate for moment, and then pur- posely fired wide of him." To this statement a note is appended: "It ought to be recorded that Lord Winchilsea had written to Lord Fal- mouth overnight to say that it was his determination not to fire at the duke, and that after the first fire he should offer the expression of regret which he would then be ready to make" But MT. David Grant writes to the London Daily News to offer another version. He declares: Shortly after the duel friend met Wellington in the street, and after congratulating him on the satisfac- tory termination of the meeting, said: Did you really intend to hit Winchil-

Europe Turning to America for
 Methods in Musical Education
By DIR. F. ZIEGFEnD, President Chicago Musical College.

Thirty-fve years experience as an edu-
 cator leads me to the belief that in America it is possible not only to become thorough ly grounded in the rudiments of the musical art, but to become proficient in the most advanced phases of it. There was time when the educational institutions of Amer ica were by-word with foreign artists. That this sentiment has changed to re- markable degree I have had many oppor- tunties of perceiving. Having for many years past paid an annual visit to Europe, have noticed that European instructors

CLEMENT IN TIE FIELD.
Nominated for Governor by Boltins
Republicans Yesterday.

The Clement convention at burlington
yesterday, under the auspices of the
boilers from the State Republican CON
vention was attended by about 25O dele
gates, half filling the opera house.
After organization, a committee OF 20
was named by Chairman Agan to formul-
ate state ticket and another committee to
frame resolutions.
At the afternoon session, the platform
as reported was adopted, after attempts
had failed to introduce planks favorable
to a nine-hour day and weekly payment.
The platform denounces the alleged cor
ruption of the recent state campaign
and the convention, and justities the inde-
pendent movement. Straight-out license
local option, with a referendum provision,
is demanded; also a caucus law and re-
form in state expenditures.
The nominating committee named for
governor Hon. Percival w. Clement of
Rutland; for lieutenant governor, Frank
w. Agan of Ludlow; and endorsed the
balance of the Republican state ticket.
Some Of the nominating speeches were
effective, notably that OF Rev. Mr.. Chase
of Richmond, who seconded Clement.
After his nomination, Mr.. Clement ap-
peared, accepted and made very shot
address, seathing Mccullough for his
alleged bribery Of voters to secure the
nomination. .sThanls God ~ he said, 1T
remained for New Yorker to introduce
such methods into Vermont He spared
no sharpness in his denunciation Of the
Mccullough canvass and justified the bolt
in the strongest terms.
His speech produced a powerful effect
on his hearers, and if repeated on the
stump through the state will mean votes
for his ticket.
The convention, while hardly as large as
anticipated, was harmonious and enthusi-
astic.
