Women Can'L Remarry.

Good society in Korea has many curious customs. One of these Is that widows must not remarry. No widow in the really smart set" would ever dream of remarrying, however young she may be or however soon the death of her husband may have followed her wedding. Married life in Korea Is by no means an unmixed blessing to the woman, so perhaps perpetual wid- owhood might not be objectionable if 1t were not for the necessity of per petually wearing mourning for the de- parted. This means that during the whole of her life she is limited to blue, black, and green as colors for her cos tunes.

WEST VIRGINIA TRAGEDY.

The mystery surrounding the shooting
to death of Lucian and ira Lucas and
the mortal wounding of Octave Adkins
near Midkaff, in Lincoln county, W.
Va, Sunday night, has been cleared up.
The shooting was not the work OF as
sassins. but it was pitched battle, in
which three people figured and four
persons were shot instead OF three.
Lucian and Ira Lucas had attended
church at Midkiff, and on their return
home. in company with Miss Martha
Williams, the party stopped at the home
of William Adkins. The younger
Lucas boy, Ira, was in love with the
daughter of Adkins, who bad frequently
forbade Lucas visiting his home. Sun
day night when Lucas, his brother, and
Miss Williams called at the Adkins home
Adkins followed his daughter to the
front door. Seeing that it was Lucas
who desired admittance, be forbade
him entering, but invited the remainder
of the party in. This so enraged liza
Lucas that he drew his pistol and fired
into the doorway, the supposition being
that he intended to kill the father
of the girl. Lucas bullets went
wild, however, and one of them hit
his sweetheart, Miss Adkins. She
fell in the hallway, seriously but not
fatally injured. Mr.. Adkins by this
time had his pistol in action and
Lucian. the elder Lucas boy, joined in
the battle. Both Lucian and Ira Lucas
we're killed outright, and their friend,
Octave Adkins, mortally wounded. Mr..
Adkins, the father of the girl, was un-

let holes in his clothing. Miss Williams,
who was with the Lucas boys, after her
sweetheart had been shot dead, ran from
the scene and gave the alarm. When
officers arrived Adkins, the father OF the
Young woman, Immediately surrendered
and is now under guard. His daughter
is in a serious condition, bullet having
entered her right side, but attending
physicians say that she will recover.
Octave Adkins, who was with the party
when the shooting began and who was
nephew OF William Adkins, was shot,
and his death is momentarily expected.
He has not regained consciousness since
the tragedy.
