is MARRIAGE A DISEASED
Question HumorousIy Called to Atten-
ton of Scientists.

Sometimes it seems as though the
anti-divorce enthusiasts were not as
scientific in their methods as they
should be. The great, Astounding
cause of divorce is, of course, mar
riage, and marriage, therefore, is the
thing to investigate. First, then, Is
marriage germ disease? We have
considered this question a long time,
getting no further with 1t, but the
scientific investigators will be able to
tell us. And if it is a germ disease
they can catch the germ, and the
germ once caught they can get cul-
lures and compose antitoxins which
will strip this common and serious
complaint of most of it's terrors. And,
of course, once we get marriage under
control we shall be in position to
regulate divorce with a precision alb
solutely scientific, If there is any
divorce left to regulate.-Harper's
Weekly.

And now, distinguished woman
rises in meeting to remark that the
scientists don't know what they're
talking about, and that the earth's

NEWEST CURE FOR CANCER.
One said to Have Been Found in Iron
Ore Boys of Indiana.

Ore Boys or Indiana.
What many people regard as cure
for cancer has been discovered here
in the oily slime from the iron ore
hogs which unites with it properties of
iron from the ore deposits, says
Winamac, Ind, special to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. The discovery was
made by tile ditcher working in the
hogs. He was afflicted with cancer Of
tbe face, and while working felt in
clined to scratch the affected parts
Instead, however, he cooled the dis
eased part with handful of the slime
from one of the pools. The itch
stopped at once, and within few
months he declared the cancer cured
Several other persons suffering from
cancer tried the same treatment and
all declare themselves rid of the NAL
ady, among them being John G..
Boyles, ex-surveyor Of Pulaski county,
whose face and eyes were affected.
The waters, which are said to eff
feet the cure, contain de- .yed vegeta-
ton from blue flags, wafer lilies, bit
ter iron weed. cattails, torooch grass.
swamp willows and sage brush. This
compound mixes with ne iron-tinc-
tured ooze through the fa-i and winter,
after which it is said to possess the
magic qualities which cure.

A Lost Moroccan Manufacture.

In an act dated Rouen, Oct. 1, 1870,
certain merchants agree to freight a
vessel, lie Samson, with white cloth
and other goods for Santa Cruz de
Agadhir, in Morocco. The ship was
returned home laden with sugar,
which at that time was grown near
Tarudant. Sugar is not now grown in
South Morocco, and thirty years ago

ADVICE IN pLAYwRITING.

IF you are a playwright in embryo,
said an actor don't. for your first at
tempt, write d four-act drama. but write
a little curtain-raiser of one act instead
There is demand for good, strong, one
act curtain-raisers that the supply
doesn't begin to meet
This demand has been caused by the
late dinner hour that has been adopted
by the fashionable world. In the coun-
try the dinner hour, / suppose, is still
noon but in town it Is 4:36 or o clock.
II is no longer nossible, in fact, for fash
ionable people to eat without haste a
good dinner and reach the theater before
9 O. cIoc'I
Fashionable people. in the majority
of ca ses. don't reach the theater before
9. and when the play is musical COM
edy 3r something Of that sort their late
coming doesn't matter. But when the
play Is d serious drama, to miss the first
act is a serious loss. Hence serious
dramas are now. written-by Pinero and
the other big guns of the stage-to begin
at O'Clock. and before them comes a
one-act euTtain-raiser.
There is a deafth of good curtain
raisers and a strong demand for them.
A strong demand. no supply-that means
llarge profits for him who can produce
the goods.
The embryo playwright could not do
better than devote himself to curtain

missiye addressed to him by his former
fancee he would not have been sub
jected TO the humiliation that followed
the marriage of his supposed bride-to-
be to another on the day before his ar

This information was contained in a
statement made today through her at

Inerly Miss Elizabeth Howe, of Pitts

certain derogatory statements. and de-
-clares that she did not break the en-
Egagement because of any fault on his

felt a stronger attachment for the man

therefore, she has directed me TO
state that 1t is not a fact that prior to
or during her engagement to Count Cini,
or at any time. he made upon her any
demands or requests of a financial ma
ture: that the breaking off of her en-
gagement TO Count Cini was not due TO
any financial reason, nor any fault upon
his part but solely to the fact that dur
ing his absence in Europe she became
aware that she felt q stronger attach
ment for the man she has married
Missed Her Letter.
She also begs to state that her letter
communicating her final determination
to break off the enga agement was adj
dressed to Count Cini at Rome. but that,
unfortunately. he was absent from Rome
at the time, and sailed for this country
without having receiveG that letter. In
view Of these circumstances the publIea-
ton of derogatoTy statements concern
ing Count Cini's relations TO the affair
have been not only unjust. but so cruel
that Mrs. Sproul considers that il is her
duty, in Justice to an honorable man,
to make public this statement"
Count Cini is a nephew of the late
Pope Leo XIII.
