MARRYING LESS IN BRITAIN
Rate of Matrimony in 1903 Lowest
in Over Twenty Years-slunp
in Demand Tor Widows.

LOndOn.-The; figures OF decline in
Great Britain's s. birth rate which have
aroused such serious misgivings, have
now been supplanted by similar statis-
tics which woald seem TO- point to the
popularity of marriage being On! a de-
cline. The year 1903 was marked by
heavy slump in matrimony. Not only
was there a decrease in the, number
OF marriages, compared with the pre-
vlous year--a; phenomenon which has
manifested: itself continuously since
lS99-but the rate. Of marriages based
on the marriageable portion of the
community was the lowest for oyer. 20
years.
One of the most striking points about
the return is; the evidence it seems to
give that the famous advice of Weller,
Sr., to- beware of the widders" has
! taken firm root in this country. The
number OF remarriages among the wild
ows has been declining steadily for
nearly 80 years, and in 1903 only 65.S
in every LOCO widows were called upon
to- take, the VOWS for second or third
time, as against SO in 1S79-S0.
| One paper in commenting on thi,
fact suggests this is strong presump-
tive evidence Of the firm hold which
''Pickwlck" has taken on the public
mind! - -

"OLD Boz BITES THE DUST
King Of Mountain Lions Is Killed in
saguache Range While Guard
ing Fellow Captives.

Saiida, Col.-One of the largest
mountain lions ever killed in the west
was brought to this city recently from
Sergeant where it was slain by J. E.
Hicks, ranchman residing in that VI
cinity. The lion is known as "Old Bob, -
and measures ii feet from tip to tip, and
weighs 225 pounds. For the past sew
eral years he has been operating in the
Saguache mountain range, killing hun
dreds of cattle and young colts. ~
Three other lions were killed at the
same time. Hicks went out few morn
ings ago and found that lions had killed
one OF his calves. He then set three
large steel traps. When he returned
later he found that each trap had caught
and there was lion in each one. Old
Bob stood by guarding the captives and
growing defiantly. He refused to leave
the lions until he was shot by Mr. Hicks,
who then proceeded to kill those in th3
traps. It is thought that these othe:
three lions were the mate of Old Bob and
two OF her young.
The body of Old Bob was purchased by
J. A. Rogers. of this city, and brought
here, where it has been mounted and
added to the $4,000 collection of wild
animals on which Mr.. Rogers received a
medal at the last worlds fair.

reviewing the allegations and evidence

new trial will be argued at the next
term OF court and in case this is de-

matter to the supreme court of Wyom-

Charge Of Poison Disproven.
Judge Scott, in his opinion, said:
"The first cause Of action in this case
is the charge Of poisoning on December
70 1900, or some time prior thereto
The evidence wholly fails to support
this issue, but shows the defendant
was trying to rescue the plaintiff from
state OF intOXicatiOn and adminis-
tered no poison, but remedies which
she deemed beneficial to him, His in
ability to speak On this occasion did
not come from these remedies, but
came from his excessive use of intOX-

and was as humiliating to the defen l.
ant as to the plaintiff
Judge Scott also found that the

part Of the defendant toward the COL

there was evidence that she had ever
threatened her husbands life

brief is the character and conduct Of

period of married life.
Husband Scored.
sIn return for this wifely devotion
the plaintiff has been cruel to her and
neaped indignities upon her. Even if
it were true that the defendant had at
times been impatient with him, and
such impatience has been considered as
indignities, it is also true that she has
had much to contend with. There are
some allegations in the answer that'are
not sustained by the evidence. From
the evidence it does not appear that
the plaintiff was so addicted to gam:
bling as to impair his business abilities
or trustworthiness. He did not use
Intoxicating liquors in such quantities
as to interfere with the transaction
of his business"

DEATH PACKAGE
FOR A SENATOR
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. 25.-Ad-
dressed to United States Senator PEN
rose at Washin~ton, an ingeniously
constructed internal machine was
found done up in an innocent looking
package in a private mail box in a
hallway at 1910 Market street this
morning. Archibald ]. Williams, a
photographer to whom the mailbox
belonged and who discovered the pack
age, turned it over to Captain of De-
tectives Donaghy.
There was sufficient gunpowder and
nitro glycerin in the package to have
wrecked the building. An attempt to
open 1t in the ordinary way undoubt-
edly would have caused 1t to explode.
The outside of the package consisted
of plain white pasteboard box, on
which was pasted the following in
scription, evidently copied from the
headlines Of paper or circular:
For Senator Penrose, Congress,
Washington"
On second wrapper was the inscrip-
tion:
President Roosevelt, we are not in
any trust; time limited; Inauguration. -
This inscription was constructed by
many who saw it to mean that some
thing would be done at the inaugura-
ton, possibly an attempt at assassina-
ton. One line on this wrapper read:
"A test Of power Of trusts run down.
