New York-In the ordinary course
Of events President Castro's, term
would have ended February 90, 1908.
he was elected president of Venezuela
On March 80, 1900. by the constitu-
snt assembly Senior Castro, when the
presidency changed hands some time
previous to that date, had proclaimed
himself president and the United
States government in November, 1889
had officially recognized the de facto
government headed by him. The
action Of the constituent assembly
egalized his position and invested
him with full powers of presidential
ruler to the limit Of it's authority.
Up to that time, while being gener-
ally recognized as presidant of Ven
szuela, he had in reality been simply
director of the republic.
A year later, as already stated, the
Venezuelan congress ratified his cleo
ton, and regularly installed him as
president of Venezuela for a term of
six years, dating from February 90,
1902.

A B|GCAM|ST CAPTURED!
Tyndale Was Wanted Here.
Hearthway Captured Him
in Norfolk. Processes Ig-
norance of MARYLAND Law.

Noah Tyndale who has been wanting
here to answer the charge of bigamy,
was arrested in Norfolk Tuesday by
a Worcester officer and brought to
Snow Hill early Wednesday morning,
and lodged in Jail. Tyndale came to
Wore ester County a few months ago.
and represented himself as a widowsf
of two years standing. AS he is a man
of engaging appearance and SPLENDID
physique, he soon won the affections of a
young lady in Box Iron. and their mar.
ago with great eclat A few days after
their marriage. persistent rumors We're
circulated to the effect that Tyndale had
another wife living in Delaware. from
whom he had but recently parted.
States Attorney. Robley d. Jones. on
hearing the rumor at once started an
vestigation, and being satisfied the
news was substantially correct. he i'm
mediately took steps to arrest Tyndale.
who was living with his suspecting
bride at Box Iron. When officers were
sent to arrest him. he evaded them. and
through the conuivance of friends, made
his escape to Norfolk. States Attorney
Jones, acting on information which he
had received that Tyndale was working
in Norfolk. proceeded to the latter city
on Monday, accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff B w. Hearthway. Tyndale
was discovered working on street Car
AS motor-man. Having ascertained the
number of his car. his capture and ar
rest were readily effected. Tyndale pro-
fesses to be ignorant that he has trans
crossed any social. moral, or statutory
law and thinks it strange that what is a
common practise III the part of Delaware
where he formerly lived, should be con-
sidered crime here. Evidently, he is
the product of low state Of civilization.
without any well defined sense of right
or wrong. and utterly ignorant of the
moral and social obligations resting up
on him as citizen. If we would main.
tain the purity of our social fabric, if
we would keep inviolate the institution
of marriage, we must resent any i'll
fringement of the one as ardently a
we do any violation of the other. The
way of the transgressor is ever hard.
but the plea of ignorance should not be
entered to mitigate the severity of the
penalty.
