AMOUNT OF HIS LOVE.
Fiancee Sues New York Minister Who
Wrote That He Would Hug Her
Till She "Quacked."

A Delaware county, N. j., jury has
just awarded the plaintiff verdict
of $1,500 in a breach of promise case.
The defendant is the Rev. James A.
Gordon, a Presbyterian minister at
Cabin Hill, town of Andes, the plaintiff
being Miss Mary A. Sutherland, a
daughter of one of the elders in the
church. They became engaged in No
vember, 1897, and they appear to have
been a loving couple, and numerous
letters written by him to her were Of
fered as evidence.
At the end of two years the defend
ant told the plaintiff he no longer loved
her as man should love a woman he
was to marry, and the engagement
should terminate. He gave as a rea-
son for his action that Miss Sutherland
did not show disposition to prepare
herself by work and study for the re-
sponsible position of a minister's wife.
1t took the attorney for the plaintiff
nearly five hours to read the minis
ter's love letters. In one of the letters
he spoke of her writing him that she
was going to start duck farm, and
after advising her not to embark In
the venture reminded her that she
was his little duckling and If she was
where he could hug her he would make
her "quack, quack, quack."

MARRIED MANY TIMES.
New Jersey Man, Arrested for Big
amy, Admits Having Great
Many Wives.

James H. Shippie, 80 years old, a
conductor in the employ of the Public
Service Corporation. was arrested at
his home in Elizabeth, N. j., the other
day, on charge of bigamy.
When arraigned in court before JUS
tice Mahon two women appeared, and
both claimed him as husband. 1t was
intimated that there were others.
Hattie Partsfow said she was mar
ried to Shippie in July last, and had
been living with him since in the Eliza
beth home.
Emma Prichard said she married the
prisoner in July. 1896, and had two
children by him. After the birth of
her second child her husband deserted
her. Recently she learned he was mar
ried again, and caused his arrest.
Shippie admitted he had married
both women, and when asked by his
honor if there were any other women
who were not present in court to whom
he had been married the prisoner said
there were. He said he had been mar
ried "about forty-seven times" he
thought.
1t is known that Shippie has at least
four other wives.
The prisoner was held to await the
| action of the grand jury.

ATROCITIES in CONGO
BRITISH coNsUL's STORY OF
CRUELTIES TO NATIVES.
Says Whole Villages in Central At
rica Have Been Blotted Of the
Map Rubber Bought
with Blood.

Mr.. Roger Easement, British consul
at Bona, has written a report on the
administration of the Congo Free State
which makes some terrible revelations
of the atrocities committed in that vast
region of Central Africa,
Mr.. Easements story of the journey
which he made up the Congo between
June and September tells of vast prov
ince devastated partly by disease and
partly by the cruelty Of the traders and
soldiers of the state.
Communities which formerly were
large and flourishing centers of popula-
tion are to-day entirely gone, or now
exist in such diminished number as to
be no longerrecognizable. He tabulates
list of IA towns or villages which now
have population of 1918, as against
1890 persons ten years ago.
The natives attribute their alarming
death rate partly to sleeping sickness
and partly to other causes, among which
the treatment they have received at the
hands of soldiers and traders is promi-
nent. Forced labor, scarcely different
from slavery, is rampant. The native
population has to supply food and wood
to the government stations, and when
supplies run short the soldiers go out
and catch women, who are imprisoned
until heavy fines are paid.
Armed expeditions are frequent to in
sure these supplies. A case is given
where 16 persons were killed and houses
/ were burned down to secure a few goats
/ and some fowls.
In village named, the men begged
Mr.. Easement to interfere. One OF them
"a strong, splendid-looking man" broke
down and wept, saying that their live.
were useless to them, and that the,
knew no way of escape from the trou
bles that were gathering round them.
Here is a quotation from trader
diary: "The only way to get rubber II
to fight for it. Each time cor
poral goes out for rubber cartridges ar
given to him. For every one used h
must bring back hand"
1t appears that by way Of punishment
for not supplying rubber the hands o
offending natives were cut Off
Mr.. Easement saw women tied togeth
er by the neck huddled in tax prisons. 1
man came to him who had been shot Il
the thigh by sentries who were arrest
ing the chief on account of meat"
In another village two men and chill
. were brought to him, the men shocking
J ly wounded and the child's hand cut o.
at the wrist by way of enforcing the rub

TO CHECK IMMIGRATION.
Englands Proposed Legislation II
Causing Considerable Alarm
on Continent.

1t is clear that the British govern
ment's promise to introduce legislation
to check alien immigration into the
United Kingdom is causing alarm on the
continent. The Secolo, an influential
Italian organ, says:
Nobody can help seeing the excep-
tional Importance Of these measures.
Once they become the laws of the state,
free immigration into England will be
no longer a right, as in former years,
but a temporary concession, to be an
nulled at the will of mere functionary.
ut is an awful thing, and we cannot
imagine how in the classic country OF
liberty such monstrosity has even been
thought Of"

Y ouI1g Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others, Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.

and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to- grow
