Astonished the Justice.

Justice OF the Peace George F. Sey-
mour sat In his Hoboken office when a
young couple entered carrying with
them the usual and unmistakable evil
dence OF desire to be made one. The
justice asked the young mans name.
Richard Mansfield" was the reply.
and his honor stared for a moment as
he reflected that the noted actor must
be much older than this would-be
bridegroom. Then he asked the girls
name. "Maude Adams she timidly
responded. The justice nearly fell out
OF his chair, but recovered when in
formed that the pair lived in a sub
urb of Hoboken. Then he tied the
knot, pocketed mis- fee and kissed the
bride.

USE OF HIS EYES.
Cuban Physician Relieves Blindness by
Use Of x-Rays.

A few months ago the world was
startled by the suggestion Of an OPP
timistic oculist that the blind might
be made to see by means Of the X
rays. Now It appears that these san
guine hopes have been. at any rate
In part. fulfilled by DR.. Astudillo Of
Havana.
The man who has been cured was
originally a resident of Madrid, and
was suddenly stricken blind twelve
years ago. Eventually he went to
Cuba. where he came across DR.. AS
tudillo, an oculist, who invited him
to his house in order to see II any
thing could be done In his case.
After treatment he became able to
dlfferentiate between black and white
In the daylight, and gradually to see
and describe machinery of the appara-
tus, as well as count the flashes of in
candescent lamps in the physicians
study.

story With q Moral.

John Mitchell told story recently
In the Glover club of Philadelphia
which was Of a certain grim humor
Mr.. Mitchell was in his first suit OF
evening dress. He was talking about
the seriousness OF life. and his story
bore out his view. He said there
were two sisters. seamstresses. who
lived in little room and earned their
bread by sewing. They were young
and pretty. but they seldom laughed:
they never wore comely clothes; they
did nothing but sit in a stopped atti-
tude. sewing all day and a good part
OF the evening. One night, when she
was quite worn out with labor, the
younger said to the older sister: "Oh.
dear, wish we were both dead!" The
older sisters mouth took on grim
smile as she returned: BE still and
work hard. Business before pleas

How Royalty 10 Protected.

The law is libel. as regards royalty,
is different from that which affects
other people, and In this respect great
err privileges are accorded to reigning
families, at least, by British law. The
rule Of English law is that ANY pub
lication tending to degrade or defame"
royal families of this or other coun-
tries may be treated as libels. So
long ago as 1887 Lord George Gordon
was convicted Of a libel Of this kind
upon Marie Antoinette. In 1901 Vint
was convicted of libeling the Russian
emperor, and later a Frenchman
named Peltier got into trouble for an
article abusing Napoleon, who was
then prisoner on .ne island Of Elba.

to wiring tears OF sympathetic feel

he denied the lady her marital rights

marital rights after prayers. Worse
than that she demanded that he in
