Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-To circumvent
the law forbidding the marriage of a
girl under eighteen years Of age with
out the consent Of her parents, Antonio
Ardoini, bright young Italian lover,
had himself appointed guardian of the
girl he wished to marry and then con-
scented to her marriage.
Last Monday Antonio appealed to the
clerk for a license and was informed
that the laws forbade the marriage
of one so young as the prospective
bride without her parents permission.
Clerk Salmonson was considerably sur
prised when Miss Antoinetta and An
tonic, blushing but triumphant, ap-
peared again today and produced a
document issued by Judge Cutting,
which decreed that Antonio should act
as the guardian of Miss Antoinetta AL
ligretto until she reaches her majority.
So until the girl reaches her eighteenth
year she will have husband and a
guardian in one.

Robber Of 1852 in 500 Yards.

ARDMORE, I. T., Jan. 28.-United
States Judge Townsend today handed
down an important decision in the tri-
bal tax cases upholding the contention
of the federal officials that the federal
courts cannot come to the relief of
cattlemen whose stock is seized by an
Indian police because of the refusal of
the stockmen to pay tribal taxes. The
decision grew out of the seizure of
hundreds Of cattle by the police, who,
it is alleged, had orders from Secretary
Hitchcock to eject them from the do
main. Secretary Hitchcock again or
dered removal of the cattle, hence the
injunction asked for by the stockmen
and denied.

TO BUILD A MODEL TOWN.

From the Los Angeles (Cal.) Dispatch.
 Alfred Do1ge, a felt manufacturer of Dolgevile, N. Y, who has practically completed plans for the building of a model town and felt factory about ten miles north of this city, will be aided in his project by H. E. Huntington of the Southern Pacific railroad and owner of the electric street railway system In this city. Plans for the scheme have matured to such an extent that part of the factory machinery has been purchased. About $2 coo GOO will be expended in the next two years on the enterprise. The factory will be opened with about 150 employees, and the colony itself will have about TOO per- sons at the start. The factory will be en- larged from time to time. Mir. Dolge says that within two years 1000 persons will be employed

Unrest in the Balkan States.

An outbreak in Albania and Mace donia is nearly due, and despite all reports to the contrary it seems to be coming on. A storm at any rate is forming, and its focal point seems to be in~Albania near the Bosnian frontier. Bosnia is a part of Austria. and if the Christians in Bosnia become involved in the struggle by crossing the frontier, it is very probable Austria will be forced to take part in it against the unspeakable Turk. Russia in the meanwhile will await an op- portunity to become participant, and thus general war in the Balkan states may be inaugurated. Macedonia will be only too glad to aid and aggra. vate state of discontent and war. While Austria attempts to restrain the Albanians, Russia may attempt to hold back the Bulgarians, leaving the sultan quite free to deal with the Mace donians.
 But the crushing of the Macedonians by the Turks will not be relished by the rest of Europe, and altogether the indications are good for a renewal or the effort to drive the sultan out of Europe and into Asia, where doubt less a similar course will in time be adopted. The chief difficulty in the way is to decide which one of the powers shall hold Constantinople, that ancient seat of the empire of the east in Roman days.

to be dorment to all intents and pur. poses until the Northern Securities suit was begun. The case will now go to the Supreme court, but the unan- im!ty of the Circuit eeurt does not offer much hope of reversal in the highest court,
 While the decision absolutely pro hibits such mergers as the one at. tempted In the northwest yet 1t ia difficult to see how tho community. of-intorest scheme can be reached. This plan looks to the holding of a majority of the stock of q company, or an influential portion of 1t at any rate. thus securing the cooperation or at least the noninterferenoe of that company in relation to the opera tions and plans of the superior and richer company. The spirit of the de- cision extends to such plan, but how It's letter can be made applicable it Is difficult to see. When a railroad company Is known to own major ity of the stock of another company, concord of action becomes simple and commanding, and it is difficult to see how the law can reach such case.
 In the northwest an attempt was made to organize a holding company, and this was declared illegal, but if no holding company had been organ ized Attorney General Knox would have had a much more troublesome case on his hands.

LEGENDS THAT WILL LIVE.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 It makes no difference what proof to the contrary Is offered, the American people will always believe and maintain that Raleigh once lived in Virginia; that Putnam crawled into a den of wild wolves; that Paul Revere saved his coun- try by ride, and that Barbara Freitchle dared the rebels Just as poets have writ ten; that Funston did actually swim the Calumpit, and that Roosevelt charged up the hill in the battle at San Juan in the very way that Verestchagin puts 1t. These things can no longer be considered as matters in dispute or points of contro- versy in our history. The belief in them is as deeply imbedded in the hearts of all Americans as Is the belief that Wash ington never lied or swore and that Mrs. Leary's COW kicked over the lamp which caused the big fire in Chicago

A NEW LooP-THE-LooP.

From the Chicago Record Herald
 ''The Tornado" is the name of a new 'loop-the-loop' device which will be seen at summer resorts and gardens during the coming season. It is about twice as spectacular in arrangement as the orig inal Coney Island affair, having two loops, within which a rubber ball of large dimensions and containing a human being whizzes The ball is sent down the incline from a standard of 30 feet high, rolling along two cable wires. It plunges into the first loop and is conducted into the second in short order. The trip ends in net, where the rubber sphere is un- latched and the man allowed to show himself to the people. E. S. Fox of Chica- go is the inventor. He claims for "The Tornado" that it will give 100 somersaults in 10 seconds. When the rubber oval is seen on the 50-foot standard this summer by an admiring and wondering populace it will be a courtesy to the management for young men to refrain from calling it a highbal as the joke is already old.

He has secured a decision from four circuit judges of the Uni- ted States that is both sweeping in It's scope and nature and unanimous so far as the court itself is concern ed. No dissenting opinion was filed and no reservations or limitations are laid down by the court.
 In general terms the court of ap- peals declare that competition must be maintained in transportation mat ters and monopoly put down. The court thus construes and applies the antitrust act, better known as the Sherman bill This law was enacted in 1890, and it had been permitted

SHE FOUND MILLIONS OF
 BACTERIA IN ICE CREAM

more creams. pr. Konig of Germany, In ranging from SIT to 7o.10 per cent, and only three out of thirty-nine were below F per cent Miss Thomas found it never higher than 11.2 per cent, and in some cases 1t was as low as 1.25. So, she thinks. the so-cal1ed ice cream came more from the bottom than from the top of the pail. She found one of the bacill that cause pneumonia, and in the delicious snowball. than which nothing could seem more in- nocent, she discovered evidences of ccn- taminated ice.
 Final conclusions reached by Miss Thomas are:
 l. That cheap ice cream is extremely poor in fat. and that even in specimens from good eonfeetioners the per cent is not high.
 ?. That the number of bacteria Tn ice cream is not materially higher than that found in fresh cream, though it is slight ly higher.
 3. That the kinds of bacteria found in some specimens indicate either that the COWS from which the milk was obtained were infected, or that the handling of the ice cream was very careless, thus rem dering it unsuitable for food. Both or these causes of contamination can ana ought to be obviated. Thoroughly clean handling of ice cream is of as great im- portanee as Is that of milk, and the soon- CT doctors insist that ice cream given to their patients be only from entirely trustworthy sources the sooner will this care be given.

BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN

by Bryant.
 o, deem not they are blest alone Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep; The Power who pities man has shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears; And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years. There Is day of sunny rest
 For every dark and troubled night And grief may bide an evening guest But joy shall come with early light And thou, who OCT thy friends low bier Sheddest the bitter drops like rain, Hope that a brighter, happier sphere Will give him to thy arms again. Nor let the good mans trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny Though with a pierced and bleeding
 heart
 And spurned of men, he goes to die. For God hath marked each sorrowing
 day,
 And numbered every secret tear, And heavens long age of bliss shall pay For all his children suffer here.

From the naltlmore Newa.

from me BAltlfnore News,
 K1N 1ss HENRIETTA NJ. THOMAS I\V a student Ut the woman's col- lege, Baltimore, spent several months last year in examining samples of Ice cream aold in Baltimore to see If she could find any typhoid germs in them.
 Miss Thomas went to work at the sug- geston of Dr. Henry Lee Smith, who had observed three or four cases of ty- phoid in which infection apparently was transmitted by ice cream She also had her suspicious aroused by the fact that typhoid Is most prevalent in August and September. when the young mans fancy Is lightly turned by maidens to thoughts of frozen cream. Her Investigations were conducted in the bacteriorologicaI lab oratory of the city department of health with the assistance of Dr. William R. Stokes.
 Miss Thomas didn't find any bacili- typhosi but she did find something far worse to think of, in word, streptococ- GUS lenceolatusl Likewise, micrococcus tetragenus aureus and yellow tetrads.
 Stern and awful as this Is, the number of the beasts is worse. In one cubic centimeter she found as many as 360O0.- 900 bacteria of various sorts. Hickey pokey containing the unpronouncable thing first mentioned above, was inject ed into the abdominal cavity of a guinea pig. Requiescat in paceI

voter who asks for it the assistance of supervisors in the marking of his ballot. One of the supervisors, by some previous ly arranged sign, indicates to his party's worker outside the railing that the ballot has been properly marked, and compensa- tion follows later The really illiterate voter, when honest, is often deceived by the corrupted supervisors, who mark his ballot contrary to his expressed wish. I have heard a very active and influential politician say that bribery was facilitated by the official ballot; that formerly it was necessary to buy the voters; now 1t is only necessary to buy the supervisors. My own opinion Is that successful bribe- ry, the delivery of the goods, has been lessened by the Australian system of voting, and that intimidation, which for merly was very common, has been com pletely done away with"
 Bribery can be uprooted and ended once for all by a few very simple changes In our election machinery.
 The reform consists in the abolition of single districts, the placing of the names of all candidates upon general ticket, limitation of each elector to voting for one candidate only, distribution of mem- bers to each party whether large or small, in the ratio of the total number of votes cast by the parties respectively, and the declaring elected by each suc- cessful party of the candidates of that party receiving the largest number of votes
 Thus, if board of aldermen of ten members is to be chosen, the names of all candidates, perhaps forty or more, are placed upon one ballot and each elector votes for any one of them. This vote counts for the candidate, also for the party which nominated him. Any party which polls four-tenths of the total num- Der of votes cast at the election will elect four aldermen; to-wit, those four of the party's candidates who receive the high est number of votes. A smaller party, casting but one-tenth of the total number of votes boiled at the election, would be entitled to one alderman. and so on. It is manifest that in an electorate casting a total of 10,0co votes any one thousand electors. by uniting upon candidate. are absolutely sure to elect him.
 In the election of chief executives, such as mayor and governor, bribery now has but little effect upon the result; and when all legislative bodies are chosen in the manner described above it will cease to be factor.
