CONUNDRUMS ARISE IN
REGARD TO MARRIAGE
Sailor Who Married His Mother
in-Law Released as Being Ig-
norant of the Law.

DUBLIN, May H.-Conundru entered
largely into case heard yesterday in Dub
lin, where James Thompson, a sailor, was
charged with having married his mother
in-law. Amelia Tuily, the specific charge
being that he had made false declaration
before the registrar.
Mrs. Thompson, the defendants wife and
mother-in-law. said that Thompson turned
out the best Of husbands. He only stayed
half an hour after we were married." she
said. "and off he went TO sea"
Counsel: He didn't even wait for cup
or tea2-He did not even do that.
The kettle wasn't boiling, / suppose p
Well. now. there wasn't even time to boil
the Kettle for a cup OF tea.
In addressing the jury counsel for the
defense said that each OF the parties was
perpleXed to know what were their rela-
tons to one another 1t was like a puzzle
in comic paper. What relation is he TO
his deceased wife's sister now that he has
married his mother-in-law? And what re-
lation is his deceased wifes mother to his
stepdaughter now that he has made his
mother-in-law his wife2
The Recorder: / give il up. There's one
thing certain, you must have a wife before
you can have a mother-in-law
The jury found that the prisoner made
a false declaration believing that there
was no impeachment TO his marriage with
Amelia Tully, and he was accordingly dis
charged.

CHARITY REQUESTS BY
ENGLISH MILLIONAIRE
One-Tirne Cobbler's Boy Leaves
100000 Pounds to Local Be
nehcences at Newcastle.

NEWCASTLE, England, May 21.-The
death last week OF Mr.. George Handyside,
one of the wealthiest men in this part of the
kingdom, results in the distribution. by will,
of fortune of more than a million pounds,
of which sum more than 100000 goes to To-
cal charities.
Mr.. Handyside began life as a cobblers
boy at Berwick and died in his eightieth
year the owner of vast tracts of residential
and business property on Tyneside He
thought nothing Of huying whole street at
once. demonshing the lot and re-erecting
the buildings on plans of his own. Every
Monday he used to perambulate his acres
of tenmented property with bell and barrow
collecting the rents. Those who answered
the summons and brought out the money to
him received discount in the shape of a few
coppers.
1t was his proud boast that he had never
employed bailiff or made of the coun-
ty court in his life. He never asked for
rent at house In which the breadwinner
was sick, and In case of death his first act
was to call with the message, You shall
live here rent free as long as you are a
widow"

a positive plague
Mosquitoes in swarrns made a flank at

Harrow was the iii st to report the in

a spotted variety of gnat In places where
the roads dip between two hills they con-
gregate in millions. One gentleman said
yesterday that he ran into a swarm OF

The most reasonable explanation of the

CAREER OF COUNTESS
PUTS HER IN THE DOCK
Woman with astounding Title
Arraigned in Prison on
Charge of Forgery.
EXPOSE OF A FRAUD

PARIS. May 21.-Distinguished by their
high-sounding names if by nothing else
from the other prisoners were the Count
ess Of Chatillon," the Marquis of Massa
Malaspina" and the Baron De Ruelle,"
who were brought before the examining
magistrate this week. Their story is more
simple than their titles.
In 1902 a rich old gentleman named NJ.
Monthiers died, leaving a considerable for
tune, and apparently no debts. Suddenly
there appeared upon the scene an ariStO-
cratic lady bearing the awe-inspiring name
of Countess Anna Simanowna Decoeur de
Chatillon de Leutilly," who presented a bill

NJ Monthiers promising to pay the said
The heirs of the dead man-namely, his
widow. two sons and daughter-attempted
to disprove the validity of the document in

enough to crafty his modest desires.
As they could prove nothing, all appeared
to be going well with the countess when
want OF money led her to try to borrow
$1,000 from a solicitor on the famous bill.
The man Of law made inquiries. however.
nova Decoeur de Chatillon de Leutilly'' was
none other than Josephine Simonet, daugh-
ter of grocer's assistant. The loan fell
through.
Then a second blew fell on the countess"
A young man named Massa called on the
Monthiers' family lawyer and stated that
he was the brother of the Countess of
Chatillon's" sweetheart, and that he knew
the document purporting to be signed by NJ.
Monthiers to be a forgery. He added that
he himself had bought the stamped paper
on which his brother. Marquis Massa
Malaspina," had aided the countess to
forge the bill.
This led to the, arrest of the countess"
in her fashionable fiat in the Avenue du
Bots de Boulogne, and the capture OF her
two accomplices speedily followed.
1t has now been discovered, says the
Matin, that the countess has lived an
extraordinary life of luxury in Paris She
occupied a succession of sumptuously fur
nished flats in Paris and gave crowded re-
ceptions which were duly described in the
public press.

speech of Charles F. Mathewson at

new Dartmouth Hall, in Hanover, n.
H, on October 26th:
1.-THE passing of college Landmark,
endeared by long and familiar asso-
citation, is-to her alumni-a matter
of no small concern, and in this d.
rection Dartmouth during the last
few years has been doubly bereft,
"What an air of Inspiration breathed
in every nook of that old structure

guished nobieman who conferred upon
this college and that hall the honor Of
his name been granted miraculous
power to penetrate the future; had
he foreseen from such humble be-
ginning the growth of this institution
in strength and influence during the
century and a third that has passed;
had he observed in vision those hosts
in numbers and accomplishment
which from year to year have come
trooping through these grand old
portals. to fill such places IN the
community and the state-representa
tives of the people in Congress, sena-
tors of the nation, governors Oh our :
greatest commonwealth, Wearers OF
the ermine in our most authoritative
courts: and had he identified mong
them the most brilliant advocate that
this country has ever produced, the
wonderful Choate, chief Justice OF
the supreme court of the Union,
and perhaps. considering the char
acter of the questions with which ii
has to deal, the most important in
the world; the profound and learned
Chase: and, towering above them
all, the greatest orator and statesman
of his time, the colossal Webster;
might not that noble earl, great and
many and deserved as were his titles
and his honors, have reckoned as moi
the least precious among the distinc-
lions of his house that this then in

been baptized in his name?

into the office. She took off her bon

a deeply wrinkled brow and cheeks
and stood for a moment behind her son.
Hillyer fancied that their conversation
might be of private nature, and, TAX

looking round he saw his mother. her

George Buckley turned suddenly ana
bent over his ledger and took up MS
pen, but he did not dip it in the ink

but he noted that the hand holding the
pen was quivering. Suddenly buckley
laid the pen down, and Hillyer hearu
something resembling a sob or gasp
