Some Quoer Dotnus.

There are some queer doings in the
so called high life OF tho people of the
North. A dispatch from Newport,
r. -, says as sequel to two divorce
cases which two years ago caused SEN
sations-those OF Mrs. Hollis II. Hun.
newell and Mrs. Mary Isabelle Kemp
1T was learned recently that suit
had been brought or was about to be
brought against Hollis II. Hunnewell
OF Wellesley Mass, now the husband
OF Mrs. Kemp, to recover for counsel
fees In connection with securing the
divorce OF Mrs. Kemp. The suit Is
brought by Col. Samuel r. Honey,
anc 1t Is stated on tIus. worthy
auth orlty that the amount claimed Is
s25, 900. Mrs. Hunnewell is daugh-
ter OF Mrs. Frederic NJ ilsDn and g.
sister If Mrs. Reginald 9. Vanderbilt.
She brought action for divorce against
Mr.. Kemp In the Rhode Island courts,
and the case was heard and a divorce
granted at Newport on May 20, 1903,
the grounds being neglect and refusal
to provide. Under the laws Of Rhode
Island Mrs. Kemp had to wait s.x
months before the divorce became
operative, and on November 27, 1903,
an absolute decree was granted by
Judge Dubois at Newport, and an
hour later Mrs. Kemp was married to
Mr.. Hunnewell by Judge Dub ois.
Mr.. Hunnewell was divorced from his
wife about six months prior to this,
she afterward marrying John s.
Tookel. This Is certainly mess. A
man being sued for the lawyers fees
securing q divorce for his wife fiom
her for ner husband is some thing mi
que, al d could only take p,ace among
people who have mlslaid what tie
morals they may have statarted life
with.

Good Democratic Dootrine.

There is no doubt but that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is now preaching good
Democratic doctrine in his fight on
the trusts. Everything that the Presi-
dent has done so far in the interest of
the people against the trusts was ad.
vocated by Bryan in his speeches and
In the platform upon which he ran
for president In 1896 and 1900. The
platform Of the Democratic National
Convention, which met In Chicago in
1895, and nominated Bryan, declared
that the absorption Of wealth. by the
few, the consolidation of our leading
railroad systems, and the formation
OF trusts and rools require a strict
control by the 4 ederal Government OF
those arteries o. commerce We de.
maud the enlargement Of the powers

sion and such restrictions and guaran.

an enlargement OF the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, to
the end that tho travelling public and
shippers OF this Government may have
prompt and adequlte relief from the
abuses to which they were subjected
In the matter OF transportation.
In both the campaigns following
the adoption OF these demands by the
National Democratic party Bryan In
his speeches on the stump pledged
himself to carry them out as far as he
was able should he be elected. In fact
he was the author Of these demands
and had them put in the platforms
In the face Of these facts it must be
most gratifying to Bryans to have
President Kco evelt adopt his views
and'his party's platforms and attempt
to carry them out. 1t shows that
Bryan is great man, and that, while
he was defeated by wholesale bribery
and the purchase Of the election by
the Republicans, he so impressed his
views upon the country that the Re.
publican president had to take them
up and try to carry them out to save
his party from defeat In the next
presidential election, when no doubt
B7yan and the same issues will lead
the Democratic host to victory.

FIGURES showing big increase in

that for the first period named the

total OF 10, 1874, for the second period
they were 10, AL, and for the last
period they were 1892, an increase
over December, 1902, OF 81 per cent.
This increase is supposed to be due to

PARDON REFUSED.
George W. Ennh VIII Have to serve
Out His Life Term.

Out His Life Term.
The Colu mbia Record says on Tues
day Governor Hayward refused to
pardon Georgo,W. Ennis, white man
serving life sentence in the peniten.
tiary for arson. strenuous efforts have
been med de to secure the release OF the
man by his neiRhho where he for
me ey lived, In Illinois, and Represen
taelVe warner, W.<o wrote, personal
letter to Senator Tillnan and to Gov
ernor Heyward'about the case.
1t seems tnat Ennis was originally
from Illinois and after serving in the
Northern army came to this state and
settled L., 1868. He first settled In
Orangebuf9 and afterwards moved to
Barnwell, where he was finally tried
in 1892 for the burning Of saw mill
and q shed and sentenced to be hang
ed. Afterwards his sentence was com
muted to life imprisonment and since
then he has been serving out his SEN
tence in the penitentiary here.
Governor HeYward took considera.
BILE pains to look up the case and It's
history, on account Of the very strong
showing made by the man. Judge
Witherspoon, who heard the case, has
since died, as has Solicitor Murphy,
but Mr.. G. Duncan Bellipger, of this
city, assisted In the prosecution, and
facts which warranted the refusal OF
the pardon were obtained from him.
1t appears that ever sirca the man
has been in this state he has been in
trouble. He was first tried in 1881 az d
given six months for obtaining M naey
under false pretences. Since then
other charges Of arson were brought
against him, but his final conviction
was not obtained until the last case,
when he was sentenced to be hung and
had the sentence commuted to life i'm.
