Cupid's Curfew.

From time immemcrial the quesl
ton Of how late young man might
with propriety and safety stay at the
house Of his sweetheart when calling
on her has been relegated to the par
ties in interest, the sutton, the girl
and the parent, with occasional par
ticipation in the case by the family
watch dog. The law, however, has
never until now ventured to take a
hand in the settlement Of such nice
issues of social relationship. 1t has,
Of course, recognized that a man s
house is his castle, and it has consent
ed from time to time to bear lightly
UPON the conduct Of an irate parent
toward one whom be regarded as a
trespasser. But it has remained for
a St. Louis judge to lay down a rule
of conduct for all lovelorn callers. A
certain young woman Of the mound
city took umbrage at the manner IN
which her father behaved toward her
wooer. The young man had in some
way, not detailed, incurred the
enmity Of the parent, by no means
uncommon happening In the course OF
true love, and on one occasion at least
he had been elected by force in way
to wound his physical feelings and to
infict great mental suffering upon his
lady love. Whereupon this aggressive
young woman haled her father to
court of a complaint OF assault, and
the case was heard il all its fullness,
and at the Close the presiding justice
ruled that eleven o'clock at night is
long enough for any beau to stay with
his sweetheart" Reports Of the case
thus far in hand are deplorably def
cient. 1t does not appear whether
the St. Louis gallant is by bis ruling
given license to call until II o'clock,
or is still subject to the despotic rule
Of the father, who retains the veto
power. Presumably the court holds
this issue in reserve, and the assump-
tion is that every man calls on his
beloved at his own risk, and has abso-
lutely no rights in the premises after
II. OF course, the St. Louis courts
decision does not of itself affect the
suitors Of other cities. But the pre-
cedent laid down by it will undoubt-
edly have an effect upon parents every
where the news is carried. 1t would
not be surprising to find concerted
movement in progress, at the instance
of the Amalgamated Fathers Of
Pretty Girls, to secure the enactment.
Of curfew laws covering this particu-
lar point. Nor would it be wonder
full if some genius, inspired by this
decision, were to invent an automa.

BE IS 4 HERO.
4 Colored Man Saves a Little Boy
from Drowning.

But for the presence Of mind of a
negro, Allen Young, the 12,year.old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. Young, of ll45
Campbell street, would have lost his
life in the canal back of the Davidson
Grammar school Friday afternoon.
Allen is a scholar Of the Davidson
Grammar school, and, after school had
turned out, started home by narrow
path on the canal bank, in the rear of
the school. He was trotting along
when the wind blew his hat in the
water and be learned forward to pick
it up. The path is only two or three
feet wide and slants towards the canal,
and as Allen, reached out for his
hat slipped and fell in and was borne
by the swift current to the gates just
below the point where he fell in.
John Benyan, negro nearby, who
was hitching a horse belonging to Mr..
Pierce saw the lad fall in the water
and at once plunged in after him.
Benyan is a good swimer and in a
short while laid Allan on the bank
unconscious and apparently lifeleSS.
The negro, with great presence Of
mind, rolled the boy on the ground
and in that way got part Of the water
out of his body. He then rubbed some
camphor on his chest.
Mr.. Pierce came up at that time
and carried the boy home to his pa1-
ents, and DR.. C. I. Brya1s was sum-
moned. DR.. BryanS worked over
Allan for about twenty minutes before
he showed signs of returning c)nsci-
BUSINESS, and he was soon all right,
with the exception Of the shock and
the quantity of water that he mad
swallowed. His leg was badly bruiS-
ed and scratched when be fell in the
canal.
II the boy had reached the gates
before being rescued be would un.
doubtedly have drowned as he was al
ready. unconscious and could have
made no effort to save himself. Even
if he had been in full possession Of his
senses be could hardly have saved
himself for he would not have been
strong enough to resist the swift cur
rent, tired as be would have been be-
fore the gates were reached.
Benyan certainly did noble deed,
one which deserves unstinted praise,
for at the risk Of his own life he res
cued that of another. Mr.. and Mrs.
Young are very grateful to the negro
and their thanks took substantial
form, as be was handsomely reward

RRoKE OPEN HER LETTERS.
A Too Eager Lover Will Have to go
to Jail.

In the United States court E. H.
Holland, a young white man living
near Spartanburg, was tried and con-
victed on an Indictment charging him
with breaking open letter addressed
10 another party. Holland did not
appear in court, the trial being con-
Quoted in his absence. His accuser
was Miss Shehan, a fair young wo-
man, who is said to be an employe Of
one of the cotton mills near Sapar-
tanburg.
It seems that Holland ws greatly
interested in her love affairs and did
not like the idea Of Miss Shehan re-
ceiving letters from an unknown
source in a bold and masculine hand
writing. He determined to find out
from whom these missives came and
their contents. One day, when he
calculated that one Of these letters
must be due, he called at the post
office for Miss Shehan's mail and one
of the letters he so longed to read was
handed him by the postmaster. he
is alleged to have broken the seal and
gazed upon the contents, which must
have turned his countenance green
with jealous rage. 1t was red-hot
love letter, pure and simple, and it
showed very plainly that the writer
was the favored suiIor.
While Miss Shehan was testifying,
Judge Brawley, in order to find a
motive for the alleged crime, asked
the witness whether or not Holland
was an admirer of hers, and she an
swerd that she die not know. The
judge then asked if they had ever
gone out walking together and if be
had ever said those little meaningless
things young people call love-making.
Here the witness answered, Yes,
sir" 1.-The other fellow" the man
who wrote the letter, was also present
in the court room and testified that
be had written the letter and duly
stamped and posted it. Sentence will
not be pronounced against Holland
until be is brought into court

A Little Girl Drowned.

The Charleston correspondent OF
The State says little Katie Belle
Neeley, the lO-year-old daughter OF
MI. Nick Neeley, who lives on the
Hampton place, lost her life by drown
ing in Hampton pond Wednesday
night. She and her father were fish
ing at the time. Before her father
knew it she was struggling ID the
water and before he could get her out
she had drowned. Mr.. Neeley recoV-
cred the body promptly, but all efforts
to resusciate her failed. The informa-
tion that reached the city about thea
affair is to the effect that the glrI@
who was of an extremely nervous temN
perament, jumped into the pond OH
being startled in some unaccounta0les
way. She was a handsome child and
a great favorite among her nelghoors,
and her tragic death has caused great
SORROW in that community.

Suicide Figures.

A writer in the Chicago Tribune
has compiled some very interesting
figures upon the subject OF suicide.
He shows that during the last thir-
teen years 1877 people have COM
mitted suicide in this country. In
1902 fifty cities furnished $500 cases
of self-destruction, out Of a total OF
5, 1872 for the entire country. OF the
1851 suicides in the thirteen.year
period, 57,3l7 we're males and 20, 400
females. The greatest ratio Of in
crease is among young women under
twenty-five years Of age. There has
also been a large Increase in the num-
ber of children who killed themselves.
Mr.. Upton'S figures are undoubtedly
reliable for the purpose OF study and
comparison, but they are probably
short by many thousands Of the actual
number Of deaths induced by self-in-
fiicted violence OF other means. Be-
fore the year 1894, says the Tribune,
the method of committing suicide
most in vogue was by shooting. In
the later years the poison route to the
hereafter has become the fayorite.
Carbolic acid is the favorite brand OF
poison used. Carbolic acid is cheap
but it produces an extremely painful
sort of death. 1t is very difficult
to account for the preference for car
bolic, except on the grounds that
large proportion of those who commit
suicide are dead broke" and cannot
afford the less painful sorts OF poison:
The number Of people who hang and
drown themselves is also on the IN
crease, as is the number who throw
themselves before locomotives. No
less than 500 have committed suicide
by this latter method in the time
covered by the Tribune's statistics.
Another popular method is that furn-
ished by the gas jet.

SOME HOT FIGHTING.
Sixteen Eu dred japanese and Rus
sian Soldiers Killed in Five Days.
RUSSIANS FALL BACK IN ORDER
To F.ntrenched Position Which the
Japaucsc Cannot Carry With
out Hard Fighting and
H ayy Loss.

\ dispatch from Toxic, Japan,
under date Of May l. says: After five
days of fighting, largely with artillery,
the japanese army under General
Kuroki. has forced crossing Of the
Yalu river and Sunday with a gallant
! infantry charge covering a frontage
of four miles, it drove the Russians
from Chiutienchelg and the heights
on the right bank OF the Tho or Aida
river. which enters the Yalu from the
north almost opposite Wiju. The
japanese turned the left flank OF the
Russian position and in the battle Of
Sunday they swept away the new front
iuterpcsad by the Russians to check
their onward movement.
The present position OF the japanese
is a dominating one, and they may
force the abandon ment of the detenses
erected by the Russians at Antung
and other points lower down the river.
General kuroki began the movement
on Tuesday by ordering detachment
Of the imperial guards division to
seize the island Of Kurito, which is in
the Yalu above Wiju and detach-
ment of the Second division to seize
the island Of kinteito, which is below
Win. The detachment OF the imperial
guards met some resistance, but it
succeeded in clearing the enemy out
and occupied Kurito island. The
Russians abandoned the island Of
Kin5eito when attacked by the de-
tachnent of the Second division.
LOSES ON BOTH SIDES.
Another dispatch from Toxic under
date of May , says: The japanese
losses on the Yaiu Sunday were about
100 killed and wounded. The Rus
slams lost over 2S quick-fring guns,
20 officers and 500 men. The Japan
ese captured many men. The Rus
sians made two stands. A supple
mental report from General kuroki,
covering Sundays lighting says: The
Russians made two stands. The enc
my.s strength included all Of the Third
division. TWO regiment OF the Sixth
division, ore cavalry brigade, about
forty quick-hring guns and eight ma
chine guns. We have taken twenty
eight quick firing guns, many rifles,
much ammunition, more than twenty
officers and many non commissioned
officers and men as prisoners. I am
informed that Major kashtalinsky,
commander Of the Third East Siber-
ian rifles brigade and Lieutenant Gen.
eral Zassalitch, commander OF the
Second Siberian army corps, were
wounded. Our casualties number 700
and the Russian loss is more than 500
men,
