CAUSES FIsTIc ENCOUNTER.
Coroner Decides to Investigate Death
 Behind Closed Doors.

Washington, October 16.-The decision of Coroner Carr of Hyattsville to con- duct behind closed doors the investiga- tion into the death of Emma Smallwood for which Winfield Scott Hancock, a nephew of Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, caused lively tilt between States Attor- ney Magruder and Robert L. Wells, de- fendan'ts counsel. and fistic encounter between Attorney Wells and a spectator in which his father, Mayor Charles A.. Wells, participated, added interest to the case today. The ordering of secret ses- sions by the coroner, gave rise to the rumors that sensational evidence would be adduced at the hearing. This decision was the outcome of, a contention by the
 states attorney that newspaper men, ana the public generally should be excluded from hearing any of the testimony.
 Attorney Wells bitterly opposed the proposition and declared that unless the investigation was an open one, he would apply for writ of habeas corpus and bring his client before the court for a preliminary hearing. The session Of the jury was adjourned until tomorrow
 A warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Aman- da McKall. the defendants sister, was prepared, but was not served, as the constable refused to swear to 1t, taking the ground that he did not hear the evi- dence upon which 1t was ordered.

FISHERMEN PROTEST.
Men of Gloucester Lay Grievance Be-
 fore State Department.

Washington. October 16.-Through Rep resentative Gardner of Massachusetts the Gloucester fishermen today officially laid before the state department their griev- ances against the Newfoundland govern ment, which they charge was forbidding all vessels of Americans to fish on the treaty coast. This right. the fishermen claim, Is granted them by the treaty of ISIS between the United States and Great Britain.
 Through the British ambassador, Sir Mortimer Durand, Secretary Root has been informed that the Newfoundland government disclaims all knowledge of any action In violation of this treaty
 It is said Secretary Root will not make further representations on the part of the fishermen to the London government for some time. Dr. Gardner has ,telegraphed to Gloucester to secure additional infor- nation.
 The Gloucester fishermen contend that the rights threatened have been enjoyed by American fishermen for ninety years.

ETIQUETTE OF MAKING
 LOVE IN MANY LANDS

with her mother to the theatre and that a hard storm broke jus. as they were leaving the playhouse. There was in- describabe disorder anu ng the crowd so that almost before she knew It The Pre- cious was separated from her party, dno, blinded by the rain and the wind, lhs poor young girl ran and ran, slipping In the mud between the carriages and scarcely knowing where she WAS Tn the dark night. She finally feit that she was lost As time passed the luminous points of two lanterns penetrated the shadow into which she had sunn. She heard voices. A young merchant ap- preached in his carriage. He saw a young woman on the way. He sprang to the ground. Her toilet was that of young woman of wealth, and her veil, partly drawn back. half revealed her baby face, and eyes moistened with tears. The Pre- cious tells him her story. How beautiful she looked to him beneath her tears with her delicate face in the soft creole tints. her black hair shining in the light and her even. white teeth.
 '"rhe town Is quite near" said the young man. We will take you back
 But what unspeakable disgrace for young girl who is engaged to be mar ried to be escorted home by stranger"
 The young man glanced rather regret fully as she conveyed this intelligence at her slender and supple figure and in- dolent Chinese grace.
 Tn that case. my dear young lady, said he, my mother who is in the car riage, will take you home. My family Is one of the most honorable. My father Is the largest tea merchant in the town"
 And my father is the richest banker,'' replied the girl.
 Then you must be The Precious, and I must be your fiance! And such was the introduction.
 In India the customs are the most cruel in the world. In childhood when little girls elsewhere are carrying doll babies, little girl of rank must be married After ceremony of prodigious pomp she is taken to the home of her husband or else to her own home to remain until she is really marriageable. A child of 4 or years. whose marriage has not yet been contracted and soemnized is held Tn such dishonor that it can only be ef- faced by immolating her to the goddess Kali.

 There Is an old story If the era when all marriages were contraoLed by parents as business affairs. without consultation of tastes and afhnities of the two prin- cipals. The father and mother of che Count Kinski had arranged with some friends to marry him to their daughter. The young people had never met, and the count never left the town in Germany where he lived until the wedding day and as soon as the ceremony was over he saluted his bride wl.h graceful re- spect. saving: Madame, you and I have come in order to fulfill our parents be- hests You have the prettest figure 'u the world and the most admirab.e stat ure I have ever seen on woman. But must leave you. l cannot conceal rom you that for a long time my neart has been captured by a love which l do not know how to stife" His post chaise awaited him at the church door, the count quickly stepped into t, aud the countess never saw him again.
 All over immense Asia in Tibet, -n Korea. and China no other marriage save such a union of two strangers is scarcely known. Young women and men vel without having ever exchanged n word.

 But even to these customs of time inn memorial there are exceptions and even in chilly China, Cupid at least once In his career saw his bride before tho day of ma rriage, and little Chinese maiden of 16 heard real and sweet words of love from the lips of her fiance.

A Puzzlinq Find.

From the London Daily Telegraph
 Some very curious iron hippo sandals of Roman origin. which were brought to light some time ago in the course of the extensive excavations which have been in progress in the neighborhood of Moor fields and London wall have been added to the collection of antiquities in the Guldhall museum.
 Although believed to be horseshoes, there is a wide divergence of opinion among antiquaries as to the real use to which they were put. Some indeed. owing to their peculiar shape. have actually sup posed them to be hanging lamp stands of a kind which were much in vogue at the period.
 Others have suggested that they were wheel shoes. or sklds. which were attach ed to military wagons at time when such vehicles were built without wheels, and merely rested upon a couple of shafts protruding from the rear.
