Negro Legally Disrrnnchised

The general subject Of Jurisprudence
was discussed at the convention Of the
American Social Science Association
at Baltimore Tnursday. The pro.
gram included an address on dis
franchisemcnt of the Negro from the
Lawyers Standpoint" by Il. b. M5f-
tatt,of New York. Another was by Ell
ward Atkinson, WHO considered the
tendencies in manufacturing toward
individualism. MoMatt's address con
tanned many references to tie con
vcntion minutes, State constitution
and court decisions. His conclusions
were that under the existing court de-
cisions and the present legal practice
the Southern States have lawfully ac-
complished the disfranchsement of
the negro and that the onlJ step the
Federal government can take is t0 re-
duce the South's proportionate repre-
sentation in Congress and the clecto-
raj college and that judicial ,lief is ia

HER MARRIAGE OPPOSED.

her Troubles.

Lawrence, Jan. 2S-Because her par
ents would not allow her to marry the
man of her choice, Jennie Criss, the To-
year-old daughter of a farmer living
near Lecompton, committed suicide by
taking strychnine. The man to whom
the girl was engaged was 80 years old
and her parents did not approve of the
marriage largely on account of the diff
ference in ages. The opposition on the
part of the parents was not known I'M
til yesterday for the proposed marriage
had been kept secret until that time
When Miss Criss announced her in
tention to be married her parents not
only protested but refused to allow the
marriage certificate to be issued. This
so Inundated the girl that she took
strychnine which resulted in her death
in a few hours.

indirectly to strangers. The worst case of
nervous prostration l ever saw or rather
heard of was that of young man, stranger
who sent me word thanking me for the in
formation and stating that to his certain
knowledge, DR.. Miles Nervine and Heart
Cure had saved his life. AS to my own case

which l had used from boyhood. A man
whom your medicine had cured of tobacco

day when my feet were 50 badly swollen

SANITY from smothering spells, choking SEN
sation, pain and oppression around the heart.
He told me to use DR.. Miles Heart Cure and

symptoms had disappeared, but to make a

The return of General Reyes to Co
