1t is understood that the United
States government will institute new
proceeding for extradition, but up to
q late hour no step had been taken BY
counsel representing the Washington
authorities. NJ
Judge Caron, who spoke In French.
occupied about two hours In deliver
ing his judgment. In reviewing the
legal proceedings since tho arrest Of
the two prisoners. he pointed out that
their counsel had raised an important
question to the effect that the warrant
issued by Magistrate Lafontaine was
illegal, on the ground that it did not
contain the date nor the year In which
the alleged otfense had been commit 4
ted. He could not presume when the
offense was committed, and 1t may
have been previous to the signing 0fs
the treaty between the limited StAtesfi
and Great Britain, and, IL 30, the sacSs
cused could not be held, as the treaties
had no retroactive effect.
According to q deposition made in
Montreal by Mr.. Erwin, counsel for
the United States, in May last, con-
tinued Judge Caron, the accused were
charged with fraud committed on or
about Jan. 1, 1897. That crime was
not included in the treaties, and that
of receiving money under false pre-
lenses was only included in the
treaty Of 1900. This was fatal to the
prosecution, and the warrant issued
by Judge Lafontaine was defective.
as the offLnse included therein did
not fall under the extradition treaty;
consequently the arrest was Illegal
and the accused must be set IL liberty.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO MARRY.
Only SO Bill Is Needed to Defray the
Necessary Expenses.

Only So Bill Is Needed to Defray the
Necessary Expenses.
Marriage Is one of the cheapest of
luxuries if one reckons only the out
lay required for the payment of the
preacher or magistrate who performs
the ceremony and the cost of the IL
cense in such States as require H.
censes. Any minister, priest or preach
er of the gospel in the United States
may solemnize marriages, and in many
States judges for one or more classes
of courts may officate. In all save
half dozen States, too, justices of the
peace have the privilege of officiating
at the highly important function.
In some parts of the United States
the person performing marriage cere-
mony must have personal knowledge
of the identity, names and residence of
the parties, and inasmuch as such laws
are enforced in some of the Western
States where young people frequently
drive long distances to be married, the
stipulation has on occasion caused
more or less Inconvenience. In most of
the States two witnesses are required
to be present at the solemnization of a
marriage, although in some States a
single witness is sufficient. There Is
still In force in Pennsylvania an old
law which prescribes that twelve wit
nesses shall be present, but this ex-
action is seldom If ever enforced Per-
haps the strangest stipulation of all is
that which appears in the laws Of Ten
nessee, and Is to the effect that the
validity OF a marriage shall DC IL no
wise affected by the omission of the
baptismal name of either party In the
license and the use of a nickname in
stead, provided the parties can be iden-
tilted. Any person conversant with the
conditions prevailing in the mountain
districts Of Tennessee will appreciate
the. wisdom of this unique proviso.
Common supposition Is to the effect
that the fee for performing the mar
riage ceremony Is dependent entirely
upon the generosity of the bridegroom,
and 1t will doubtless, therefore, sur
prise many persons to learn that in
several States the law has hand In
the matter. In the old dominion. for
instance, there Is a statute which pro-
vides that the person solemnizing a
marriage Is entitled to fee of one
dollar, and that 'any person exacting
greater fee shall forfeit to the party
aggrieved $50" In West Virginia it Is
stipulated that the fee be ''at least one
dollar" and the Idaho law says that
''the fee shall be SIS, or any other
greater sum voluntarily given by the
parties to such marriage" In sixteen
States Of the Union a welded couple
may obtain more or less elaborate GER
tificate Of their marriage.

TWO OF BRODlE'S

of the celebrated rough riders, the

you had to ride $50 to get to the near

"We had been cooped up at the fort

mail; the men were restless-guess it
was enough to make them restless, too,
for we had expected the whole herd
of Apaches down on us at any time.
You could never tell what old Geron-

gave me a detail of Is men and told
me to go to Fort Grant for mail and

MOST PULLING OF VICES.
Profanity Promotes No Interest and
Gives No Pleasure, But Only
Character.

Thou shalt not take the name OF
Jehovah thy God in vain" Profanity
is the most puzzling of all vices, for
it looks SO improbable that it's eff
fects should be SO profound. No man
realizes beforehand what damage it
will do him, MOI afterwards what it
has done him. Thus discovery is left
for others. They know that he has
been coarsened, vulgarized and bru-
talized. l knew a man who wouldn't
believe how coarse and vulgar and
brutal profanity was, until, one day
Ito teach him a lesson), his beautiful
wife began to swear like a pirate. 1t
gave him such a shock of horror
that he never uttered another oath.
The devil has some sort of reward
for every vice but swearing, and this
dirty service he gets men to perform
for nothing. 1t gratifies no passion,
it promotes no interest, it gives no
pleasure. On the other hand, it de-
stroys reverence, offends all decent
people, and insults God. An oath in
the mouth of a boy is a worm in a
flower, a serpent in a birds nest, a
walt in a cradles. S. Times.

wasn't much to hesitate over; we
would have a long retreat down that
canyon and been potted if we had
attempted to climb UP the sides. My
sergeant was an old-timer, as were
quite a number of the little squad that
was left me. They knew as well as !
did that the only thing that would
save us or any of us was a quick dash
right into them-something that an
Indian can't stand a little bit. We
gave them a volley from our carbines
as a starter, and had the satisfaction
of seeing three or four of them drop;
then, yelling like a pack of hyenas,
we started down that draw, headed
straightinto them, onadead run; each
trooper swung out his six-shooter,
ready for a snap shot at an Indian.
The old sergeant was close to my
horses heels, with every fellow hug
cling down close to his saddle. turned
around in my saddle just before we
struck them, and as I did SO a bullet
broke through my saddle horn and
one cut through my vest and ripped
me across the stomach about a hAlf-
inch deep. The PEACHES couldn't stand

about a mile before they could find any
side breaks to get out of and scat

HAVING FAITH IN PEOPLE.
DisentangIe Men from Principles and
Keep Your Heart from BecOm-
ing Sour and Embittered.

Don't let this. shake your faith in
man." urged a friend to a young man
who had suffered injustice at the
hands of mem from whom the highest
morality would naturally be expected.
You cannot combat injustice" he
continued, but if your own heart be-
comes embittered, then "a far more
serious injury, and one not easily
combated, will have been wrought"
The advice was good and the young
mans answer was that of a Christian.
He said: "Ive passed through that
danger point, I think. Years ago I
had my faith in the, sincerity and
trustworthiness of certain men, who
were widely honored, sorely shaken.
Then l learned to disentangle men
from principles. l saw that a prin-
ciple might hold good even after the
person who was its supposed embodi-
ment proved false to it.
"Now | have a broad faith in my
fellowman which / believe nothing
can shake. Even these men about
whom we have been talking, who have
been so recreant to their best selves,
I still believe to be good, rue men
in most respects.
Moreover, such experiences a. this
long ago drove me to a greater de-
pendence upon, and a closer fellow
ship with, the One who never fails and
who is most loved when best known.

found only shortcomings in men, never
total unworthiness-have send me to

"My darling" These were the
words a New York newspaper report
er saw in the unlikeliest place i'm
aginable-on the dashboard of a huge
Broadway truck. The truck was
caught in a dense blockade, but the
driver sat patiently waiting, while
truckmen all about him were swear
ing or abusing their horses.
Eyes, mister" said the driver, in
reply TO the reporters question, Il
painted those words up there myself.
I wanted to have them where / could
see them all the time, to remind me
of my promise to my little girl when
she was dying. Father she said,
I'm going to die, and 1 want you to
promise me one thing, because it will
make me so happy Yes said l,
with the tears running down my
cheeks, I'll promise Then she
looked me in the eyes SO sweet, and
said: %, father, don't be angry, but
promise me you'll never swear any
more, nor whip your horses That's
all there is about it, mister; and I've
just put those words up here to re-
mind me of my little girl when I'm
tempted"

a mist in his eyes. He wrote the
story out for his paper, just as it was
told him, and thousands of hearts

"a little child shall lead them"
No one is too young to exert iniu-

preciably, as soon as we have any

q certain innocence of heart and
purity and refinement of feeling, Pc
culiar to youth, which affect older

the most effective of all preachers;
and certainly there is something
about a child's natural, unconscious
