THE SCOTS MARRIAGE LAW.
1t is Stnl in Force, According to Re,
cent Decision.

1t is Still in Force, According to a Re-
cent Decision.
Sir Francis Jeune, in the probate
court in London has just decided in ia
vor of what is known as the Scots mar
riage law, in a case where the claim OF
a son to the fortune of his parents was
based on the fact that they had lived to-
gether as man and wife in Scotland.
though they had never gone through
any ceremony Of marriage, civil or reli-
gious. Sir Francis decided from the
bench that the fact that the claimants
parent had lived together as man and
wife, and had addressed each other as
such in letters produced in evidence,
constituted valid union, and therefore,
that the claimant was legitimate and
entitled to his parents fortune.
The house of Lords took different
view in the romantic Yelverton case.
Mai, Yelverton, son of third Lord
Avenmore, after being severely wounded
while serving with the royal artillery
in the CTimean war, was nursed back
to health and strength BY one Of Flor
enee Nightingale's assistants, d Miss
Longworth. 1t wa only natural that
the major should fall in love with this
beautiful nurse, who was girl Of ex-
cellent family. After the war was over
they met in Ireland, and one afternoon
dropped quietly down the Carlingford
Tough to Killowen, where, in the ancient
and picturesque little chapel, they were
married according to the rites of the
Roman Catholic church by one Father
Moody.
They subsequently lived together at
Edinhurg, where Maj Yelverton was a
Catholic, read aloud the marriage service
Of the church Of England with a view
Of further consolidating the union with
his Protestant wife. He also introduced
her everywhere in the Scottish
capital as Ills wife, but subsequently de-
serted her in France and married a rich
widow, a Mrs Edward Forbes, daughter
Of Gen. Sir Charles Atworth.
Miss Longworth, or the Hon. Mrs
Yelverton, as she styled herself, there
upon brought suit in the London courts
for the restitution Of her coniuga
rights, Charlie Russell, afterwards LORD
Chief Justice Russell, figuring as ono
of hercounsel and being especially in,
tereted in her case. The petition was
denied on the ground that Maj. Yelver,
ton was an Irishman and that the Lon.

SHARON DEFEATED.
Woodmen Of Graniteville Are victors
With Score of Is to 8.

Chelsea, August 21.--The Woodmen
base ball team from Graniteville defeat
ed the champion Sharon team at Mat
toons Park last Friday afternoon, by
a score of 13 to 8, in an interesting
game. The roughness of the field mar
red what would otherwise have been q
fast fielding game, and was responsible
for the errors made, the Woodmen being
the worst offenders Comiskey did the
twirling for the Woodmen team and
pitched an excellent game, holding the
heavy hitting Sharonites down to seven
hits, and striking out six men. Grimes,
college pitcher, did the twirling for
sharon and was touched up quite freely
for IA hits.
The Woodmen pulled off two fast
double plays in the 5th and 18th innings

wink -and-there- you-are plays. Arm
strong's wild throw to Donahue at second
spoiled another chance for a double In
the third inning. Sanborn, by playing
deep center, was able to pull down Co
miskey's terrific drive which was labeled
for three bases, in the sixth, and by Q
perfect throw to first, caught Craige fol

GAME rs UNCHANGED.
Changes in Football Rules Do Not
Affect Came Itself.

Affect Came Itself.
After all the talk made last autumn
about the proposed Changes in football
rules, the game will not be the least BIT
different this year from what it WAS be-
fore the discussion in favor OF the yari.
Gus reforms began. There has been no
radical change made in tie rules as far
as the game itself is concerned, and the
few amendments to existing rules adept
cd are more Of an incidental than a radi-
chi change
Walter Camp avs that "the most inn
poItant Of the alterations is the definite
instruction to Che referee 0 blow his
whistle Immediately the forward pro-
aress of the ball is stopped, thus doing
away with the rapidly growing and
very detrimental feature of stealing the
bali when its progress has been stopped
and when the ball was really dead.
There Is nothing that 50 irritates the
average player as to have the ball tax
en- away from him after it is .downed
and it is this fact that sometimes led to
bad feeling between the players. Il was
certainly on the increase in the eastern
football games last season; and one OF
the principal differences between east
en- and western football was the earlier
Lowing of the whistle by the referee
when Che forward progress OF the bali
was stopped, and the distinctly greater
confidence displayed by the players in
the West, and the certainty of the refer
ee determining with accuracy who had
the ball, and the point where it was
on this account, and more satisfactory"
One very excellent change in the rules
has been that providing that substi-
tute when sent ON to the field must re-
port TO the official before taking his
place in line. The sending out Of
substitutes to take the place Of players
when these players still cling to their
positions, and the general discussion
ensuing, or even more than Il players
being engaged at time, were some Of
| the disagreeable features Of last season,
and this rule win aid much in putting
an end to this difficulty.

driven BY young Walsh, struck the rail-
ing Of a bridge spanning d creek near
Eastern Point and plunged into the
water. Whether Walsh lost control oil
it or the machine became disabled is not
clear.
The accident was witnessed BY other
automobiles, who succeeded IN rescuing
the five occupants Of The Walsh machine.

due TO the fact that all the members Of
the party were lying underneath the
heavy car. The water in the creek is
not deep, an to this circumstance il

about / $ years Of age, was not instantly
killed, but died soon after he was taken
from the water. 1t was learned later
that as the automobile crashed over the
bridge his head came in contact with an

Fire In New York School.

New York. Feb. 15.-Within an hour
after 1900 children had been dismissed
from public school No. 3, in Grove
street. the building was found to be
on fire. the flames spreading so rapidly
that it was quickly gutted. AT the
time the fire was discovered there
were only three or four teachers and
a few children in the building. These
with the aid of the janitor made their
escape through covered passageway
to an adjoining building and thence
to the street. Mary Leach. matron OF
the girls department. found her es-
cape by the stairways cut off. but was
taken down a ladder from the second
floor Two small boys were seen to
jump from the next window. but es-
capped uninjured. The damage is esti-
mated at $4,000.

aged as years.
The health of General Wallace has
been waning for several years. and for
months il has been generally known
that his vigorous constitution could
not much longer withstand the raw
ages of wasting disease.
For more than a year he has been
unable 10 properly assimilate food. and
this, together with his extreme age,
made more difficult his fight against
death. At no time has he ever con-
fessed his belief that the end was
near. and his rugged constitution and
remarkable vitality have been respon-
sible for prolonging his. life. Besides
his physician. only Mrs. Wallace, his
son. Henry Wallace. of Indianapolis.
and his wife were present.
When told by his physician that he
was dying. General Wallace was per-
fectly calm. and his last words were
expressions OF cheer to his grief
stricken family. Bidding them fare
well. he said: Il am ready to meet
my maker" and lapsed into uncon-
sciousness, from which he did not re-
cover. No definite funeral arrange
ments have been made.

finally returned to this country. land
ing at San Francisco. His presence in
California became known through in
formation from the east
Kelly talked freely of his alleged de-
falcations, and admitted that he owed
probably $4,000 to Philadelphia rela-

spent his own fortune in the same
way. He offered no resistance to the

delphia without requisition. Kelly
said that when he left Boston he had
$1,000 in cash with him. When he was
