JURY VALUED 1896
KISSES AT $2.37 EACH

Some time since, a neighbOring
court presided over by Judge Burnell
fixed the value Of stolen kiss and
the thief was compelled to pay the
price. That kiss given during a
codrtShip also has a monetary value
bas been established by the Appellate
Division in decision recently laid
down in the case of Miss Frances Petit
Of Galway, Saratoga county, New
York. Miss Petis was weoed by a
blacksmith named Tittemore After
a courtship of fourteen years he Tilted
her. She then brought an action
against him for breach of promise,
fixing the damages at $500
The specific allegation made by her
was that she had given Tittemore
l, ,236 kisses. which she valued at s4S a
kiss. Each kiss she had noted in a
diary. The jury thought the rate ex-
cessive and reduced it to s2.37 a kiss,
awarding her $4,000. The Appellate
Division without opinion affirms the
judgment of the jury. Since the
award Blacksmith Tittemore has
gone into voluntary bankruptcy.-

CREDIBILITY
OF WITNESSES
Fate of August Schuttenberg,
Charged With Murder in
Marathon County.
FRANK GORSKIEWICZ
CLAIMS WILFUL MURDER
While August Schuttenberg Says
He Fired Fatal Shot in
Self=defense.

II the testimony of Frank Gorskie-
wicz is correct, then August Schutten-
berg is guilty of numbering John
GorskiewicZ at Pike Lake, Marathon
county. Frank Gorskiewicz claims
that the murder was willful and pre-
meditated, while August Schuttenberg
denies he discharged his gun at John
Gorskiewicz with the premeditated
design to kill and murder him."
Schuttenberg was arraigned before
Judge Henry Miller Wednesday after
noon on formal charge of murder.
He entered plea of not guilty and
the time set for his hearing was this
forenoon at 10 o'clock.
1t was brought out at the inquest
by Frank Gorskiewicz that he and the
dead man had together purchased a
fOrty-acre tract of land. On the
morning of the shooting they found
Schutteuberg cutting woud on their
land and ordered him away. In the
afternoon Frank says he returned to
the land and found his brother already
there. He says that about the same
time Schuttenberg came in sleigh.
The latter got out of the sleigh, took
up his gun and walked up beside the
horses. He pointed the gun at John
and said: Nov, brother. I'll fix
you" John is alleged to have then
replied: "You have no business to
steal wood here " 1t is said that John
Gorskiewicz was then Immediately
shot.
The whole case will hang upon the
credibility of Frank Gorskiewicz and
August Schuttenberg.

DOWIE DOOMED?

Reports from Chicago are to the
effect that Zion City is doomed and
that the people are deserting Dowie.
Marcus Linden, Marinette boy, who
returned from there last week, tells
the Eagle-Star that the reports are
not true. He says that conditions are
the same as they have been in Zion
and while people are leaving Zion
there has been no great migration
from there. Mr.. Linden also made
the trip to New York with Dowie and
be says the New York visit was all
that was expected as far as results
were concerned. He is in Marinette
to visit his parents for a few weeks.
The report from Chicago says:
'Zion City. two years ago waste Of
prairie, three months ago thriving
city, bids fair to fall as it rose almost
in a night.
In one day 100 families deserted the
Christian Catholic church, and since
the return of The Restoration Host
1000 people. onc-sixth OF the popula-
ton of the city, have left.
These. people have given but one
reason for their desertion, and that
reason is 'loss of faith in the pro-
phet'."
The lace mills, which have always
heen the chief means of SupDOrt of the
residents of Zion, are being run short
handed, many of the employees having
been told that they could no longer be
given employment.

A few days ago man declaring
himself to be travelling representa-
tive of the American Detective
agency was in this city and called
upon several people. 1t is said that
he found some willing ears. A brief
heart to heart talk and good front"
was all that was necessary.
The man stated his proposition, de-
putized his assistants, gave them a
badge and collected for it the
price of $3.50 The latter transaction
was the most important of the whole
game, for the supposed representative
did not want to make any appoint

are known to be harbored in the
neighborhood and that the work of
rounding them up has been left to
the American Detective agency. In
order not to have the fugitives sus-
pect that officers are on their track,
the man explained that it was his in
tention to appoint unassuming and
unpretentious people as his assistants.
He then laid out a preliminary plan
of action and gave a superficial de-
scription of a number of men said to
be wanted.
After all had been said in the way
of explanation, the alleged repre-
sentative took up the subject of
badges. He explained that it would
cost them each $780, and would

ADVENT BEING
NOW OBSERVED
Among Catholics=-Began Sunday
and Will End Thursday, j Jan=
uary 7, 1904.
SPECIAL COLLECTION
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
First OF Series to Be Taken on
First Sunday of Each Advent
Year.

Rev. Father Van Rooslnalen in
formed representative of the RE.
PORTER yesterday that Advent among
the Catholics began Sunday and will
last till Jan. 7. 1904. While Advent
is not as strict as Lent, it is under
stood that no Catholic should indulge
in any unnecessary amuSementS,
Weddings among Catholics will be
postponed, as far as possible, until
after Jan. T.
A special collection was held in the
Catholic church of this city for the
benefit of the Catholic University of
America at Washington. The offer
ing was taken in response to an ap-
peal sent out by Cardinal Gibbons,
chancellor of the university, to the
bishops and archbishopS Of the United
States. 1t was the first of series OF
ten annual collections for this pur-
pose 70 be taken on the first Sunday
in advent each year. The custom has
been inaugurated through the in
fuence of Cardinal Gibbons while at
Rome recently.
Previous to Sunday the Very Rev.
Augustin f. Schinner. administrator
Of the archdiocese of Milwaukee, sent
out an announcement of Cardinal
Gibbons to the clergy of this diocese,
which is ii part as follows:
''This work is of such nature that
it must progress. 1t cannot be safely
allowed to remain stationary.
"The university has plant and en-
dowmentS amounting in all to about
S2,0OO,OO0 which has been contri buted
by the generosity Of our clergy and
laity. 1t IS now necessary that we
make good what has already sheen
done by adding such endowments as
will complete the facilities, meet
ordinary expenses and place the in
stitution on a self-supporting basis.
sin all earnestness, therefore, as
chancellor of our university, / make
this appeal to you, and through you,
to our clergy and people, in order that
the first recommendation of our holy
father, PiouS x may meet with such
generous response as to prove publicly
our loyalty to the vicar of Christ"
