marriage OF the earl OF Yarmouth.
Briefly the facts are these (each is
put into separate paragraph in order
to be more clearly understood):

fathers death. evidently could not
countenance the wedding by his pres
ence. 1t has been understood from the
beginning that Mr.. Thaw has opposed
the alliance on the ground that the
earl was not fit suitor for his sisters

Mr. Thaw, when interviewed about
the marriage. has made only one re
ply. IL have nothing to say" His
friends all comment that his silence
speaks most forcefully. A man of his
standing and caliber must have rea-
sons for taking this unusual position
after having given the matter most
careful consideration.

countess of Yarmouth. explains itself:

WILL DO AWAY WITH FARCE.
Maine Judge Takes Determined Stand
About Old Abuse.

Chief Justice Wiswell of the Maine
supreme court says there must be an
end TO the hypocrisy which collects
hnes from liquor dealers. but allows
them to continue in business in def
ance of the prohibition low. Hereto
fore the traffic in liquor in that state
has been conducted on quasllicense
system. That is to say. while the sale
is absolutely forbidden. dealers have
been allowed to sell with the under
standing that once or twice year
they should submit to arraignment in
court, conviction and the payment of
a fine. Thus the state gets the money
and the dealers get exemption for
their trade. The chief justice makes
announcement that this state of things
must come to an end and the humbug
of half a century seems to be ex.

London's Many Missionaries.

Good authorities say that there are
about as many missionaries and
Christian workers in the city of Lon

sent out by all denominations to work
in behalf of foreign missions. That is

others to postmen. newsboys, boot
