A GIRLS EXPERIEN CE
MARRIED THREE TIMES BEFORE
SIXTEEN YEARS OLD.
iai Correspondence Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
PARIS, February IL, 1905.
To be married for the third time before
attaining the age of sixteen is an experience
given to few women. Yet that Is what has
happened to Mile. Odette Castel de Vareuil,
now the Comtesse de Morlac. II should be
added that the three marriages took place
with the same husband.
The young lady is the daughter Of the
Comtesse de Vareuil, and inherited an In
come of $500 a year. When she was only
thirteen her mother, in order to safeguard
her daughters fortune from envious rela-
tives. permitted Odette to contract mar
rage with young man Of twenty-five, de-
scribed as Comte Camille Breant de Morlac,
explorer, journalist and member of the
Geographical Society, with chalet at
Lucerne, villas at Nice and Trouville. and
addresses in New York and Vienna
Family Dissatisfied.
The young couple were married at ST
Paurs Church, London, on April %. 1902,
but as this ceremony did not completely
satisfy her family, Odette and her husband
were remarked two months later at Dover.
But as the provisions of the French law had
not been complied with third marriage In
France was considered essential.
Although thrice married the young wife
had not yet reached the age of fifteen, so
In order to satisfy the authorities medical
certificate was procured declaring that the
comtesse was IN a delicate condition.
A special presidential decree was then OBJ
tanned. and on July &c, 1902 the young lady
was married once more at Orleans before
the local mayor. The witnesses to the
marriage included two knights Of the Le-
gion Of Honor, an officer of the Academy,
the Baron st. Georges Armstrong, ex-dep-
uty. diplomatist and officer of the Legion OF
Honor.
Mother Tries to Break Union.
But now the Comtesse de Vareuil asks
the courts TO declare the marriage of her
daughter null and void, alleging that the
presidential decree was obtained by fraudu-
lent means. that the mayor of Orleans was
incompetent to marry couple domiciled In
Paris, and that the banns were not regular
ly published.
Counsel for the defense however. con-
tends that the union is perfectly valid, and
he opposes the notification on the ground
that the young wife has given birth to q
son whose certificate bears the Christian
names of Ranelin Willy Madison Frank Jo-
seph Marcel Albert Edmond Jean Freant.
The plaintiffs advocate. however, in spite
of this imposing row of names, questions
the existence of the child.
Judgment was eventually postponed for
a fortnight.

Efforts of Russia.

Efforts of Russia,
For twenty-five years the Russian gov
eminent had been making great efforts to
develop an industry of its own, and the
German tariff policy inaugurated by Prince
Bismarck had directly led to this develop
ment.
In 1886 or 1887 Prince Bismarck had met
M. de Giers at Franzensbad, and the Rus
sian foreign minister had deplored the con-
templated increase in the German corn du-
ties as being prejudicial to the interest Of
Russia. Bismarck replied, NE paurez pas.
You will have our corn duties to thank for
the rise of a Russian industry" And so it
turned out.
1t was not to be expected that Russia
with her newly developed industries, would
on the present occasion make any material
concessions.
The Position of Germany.
The position of the German government
was this. BY lowering its agricultural du-
ties twelve years ago it had managed to
inaugurate the of commercial treaties
running for long period of years, and
therefore, secured a firm basis upon which
German industry and commerce could work
1t had now succeeded in restoring it's
agricultural duties to the old level, and it
had at the same time managed to secure
that the Russian duties on German indus
trial exports should not be materially
raised. Count Won Buelow claimed that this
was good bargain. Moreover, the conclu-
sion of the treaty with Russia had brought
the treaties with Austria-Hungary and
Switzerland In it's train, and German In
dustry might, he thought, congratulate it
self upon the solid basis which had been
secured for its export operations for the
next twelve years.
Secured Effective Protection.
Count Won Buelow claimed that the new
treaties had secured the most effective
protection of German agriculture which
was compatible with the interests of Ger
man industry. He had been urged to de-
nounce the existing treaties before the new
ones were safely concluded, but he main
tanned that the course that he had adopted
had saved the country from the period of
uncertainty and risk which might easily
have resulted from war of tariffs.
To have risked a tariff war would have
been like trying to climb to the summit of
the cupola on the reichstag by means of the
lightning conductor. One might succeed,
but it was safer to ascend by the stairs.
Event Of Tariff War.
In the event of tariff war the other In
dustrial states might have combined
against Germany and have threatened her
with prohibitive industrial duties.
The new treaties were intended to come
into force on February Is, 1906 so that
German commerce and industry would have
whole year to make arrangements for
facing the new situation.
The tactics must be regarded as a whole
and must be ratified or rejected en- bloc,
since they were interdependent. The fed
eral council had ratified them unanimously
and he trusted that the reichstag would ac-
cept them in the interests of German agri-
culture. industry and commerce.

Importance for the financial, economic and
political future of the empire He said that
Italy and Belgium had not been materially

on agricultural produce, and consequently
they had not retaliated upon German in
dustry and had granted much the same
duties as before. Russia, Roumania. Swift
zerland and ria-Hungary, on the
other hand. had set up high autonomous
tariffs before the negotiations were opened
and it had been evident that Russia In par

SEVERAL NEGROES KILLED

BY Associated Press.

VALDOSTA, Ga, Dec. pa report
reached here this morning from Ewing,
between Fargo and st. George, the
new colony town, that a crowd of ne
groes tried to mob a white man who
was manager of large turpentine still
at that place last night. He barricaded
himself and opened fire on them, kill
ing five men and two women and
wounding seven others.
One negro woman was among the
killed and women were also among
the wounded One of the women was
brought to Fargo for treatment, hav-
ing several bullet wounds i'm her body.
and another of the negroes came here
with part Of his chin and Jaw shot
off, having received the contents of a
shotgun at close range. He will proba-
bly, die.
1t was impossible to get in
telegraphic communication with the
place, as there Is no telegraph office
there and only meager information
could be had from nearby stations over
the railroad wires.
Parties who came on the train from
that part Of the state say that the row
was entirely among the negroes and
that liquor and women caused 1t.
There is, however, a report that the
white superintendent of the turpentine
still at Ewing tried to stop the fight
among the negroes and thus became
involved in it and that he saved his
life only by quick work with his gun.
This cannot be verified, but It is told
here by a negro who came in OH the
train today.
Another report from Ewing stated
that it was Il negro riot in which the
killings occurred last evening. a large
number of negroes being at frolic. A
general fusillade occurred. Two were
killed instantly, three were fatally
wounded and eight others were more
or less seriously wounded by bullets.
Several women were among the wound
ed and one woman was Killed.
