Marrying on Salary.

expression of scorn. "It's we'll that

"Whats the matter now?" inquired
Mr.. Blake patiently, although his
wife's snort OF contempt had walked
him from an agreeable slumber.
Matter!' echoed Mrs. Blake, "mat.
ter enough, l should say! Here's a
column of questions and answers on
love matters, and what do you think
one OF the young men wants to know?"
Mr.. Blake feebly shook his head.
He wants to know" said his wife,
shaking the magazine. what salary a
young man ought to have to marry.
That's how the rich people marry off
their daughters so easily! But / am
sure Sarah and Ellen and Jane will

John ID. Rockefeller, in accepting
service through his attorney, pledges
his honor to appear in person in court,
when wanted.
1t is a proper enough arrangement,
and one that any man might make
with the consent of the court.
But will John actually appear in
court?
His aversion to that sort OF thing is
we'll known. He has been quoted as
saying tnat he will never again appear
in court. Perhaps he never made so
broad q statement as that, but be has
certainly expressed the spirit of it in
lodging process servers.
If he were not extremely rich there
would be no doubt of his appearance
in court when wanted. 1t is because
he has enormous wealth and power
that the question arises. Now his
personal honor at all times require
him to comply with the requirements
OF the courts.
Public duty is as high an obligation
even as private honor and when one
persistently violates the one, can he
be trusted in the other?
1t will be interesting to watch and
see if, Notwithstanding his personal
pledge, Rockefeller ever appears in the
court at Findlay. He says he will, but
will he?

Couple Over One Hundred Years
Old Welded.
FIRST NET FIFTY YEARS AGO
WE'RE SEPARATED SINCE CIVIL
WAR BUT BROUGHT TO-
GETHER AT REUNION.

MARYSVILLE, Ohio, March g.
known in regard to the wedding in
Penfield township, in this county, of
Captain Samuel Kuhns and Mrs, Sarah
Crawford, both over one hundred years
old, who were sweethearts fifty years
ago. Captain Kuhns first met the
lady of his heart when he wa sa young
man, studying law in Springfield, Ill.
There he met Miss Jackson, a daughter
of Andrew Jackson and relative of
Abraham Liccoln. They fell in love
with each other, but Kuhns had not
then enough Income to support wife.
The Mexican war came and Kuhns en-
listed as a private. He returned with
captains commission after the war.
Circumstances still prevented his
marriage, and besides that there was
an ensthangment between him and his
sweetheart. When the civil war broke
out, Captain Kuhns went to the front
fought in the terrific assault at Fred
ericksburg, was in at the taking of
Vicksburg and with Sherman on the
march to the sea. He was twice i'm
prisoned at Libby Released from
prison, without occupation or career,
he heard that his sweetheart was mar
ried. Stricken to the heart, he wander
ed for many years and finally settled
at Columbus. He never married, but
cherished in silence his only love. Not
long ago, at a reunion Of army veter-
ans Mrs. Sarah Crawford, a widow
the Miss Jackson of fifty years ago
and Captain Kuhns were formally in
troduced. AS her eyes fell upon his
face she gave a hysterical cry and fell
into his arms. The wedding was quick

JOINT STATEHOOD IN DANGER

Senator Foraker, who has been lead
ing the fight against the joint state
hood bill, and who now says he has it
beaten, has rendered the democrats
the votes of sixteen republican sena-
tors for his amendment providing that
joint statehood shall not be imposed
until the people of both territories shall
separately vote for it. This amend
ment appears to contain the germ of
home rule. The fight against the state
hood bill comes largely from the dis
inclination of Arizona to be Joined to-
gether with New Mexico. Arizona is
peopled by whites. New Mexico is
hopelessly given over to the mixed
Spanish and Mexicans But there are
more of them than there are Ameri-
cans in Arizona. On joint vote they
would outvote the sister territory. AS
soon as statehood became a fact, New
Mexico would be all there was of the
state Her population would entitle
her to a majority of the legislature.
She would be able to select the gov
ernor and state officers She would.
in fact, be the state, and Arizona the
attachment. This sort of a thing is
not agreeable to Americans, who would
rather remain in a territory until that
territory is worthy of statehood on it's
own account AS to New Mexico, it
statehood. The Foraker amendment
would be the deaht knell of the state
hood bill, since Arizona would never
consent in a separate vote to tie her
self to New Mexico for life without
the possibility of a divorce.

FRANCES DILEMMA.

Algeciras conference has been unable
to find solution of the problem. Ger

cannot emerge without a fight.
The Morocco question is one which
involves not only commercial advan-
tages for Germany, but involves ma
tional honor for France She has ter
ritory next door to Morocco. She feels
a responsibility for her neighbor and
she has formulated certain rules for
his conduct. Up to last summer France
believed she would be allowed to put
her rules in force, with the consent of
the European powers. She had the as
sent of England, Spain and Italy She
lacked that of Germany, and when Ger
many began to show her teeth on the
subject. NJ. Delcasse went so far as to
sound Great Britain whether she would
support France in an appeal to arms
The response was so far favorable that
he practically had delivered an ulti-
matum to Germany. when the premier
discovered that his foreign secretary
was committing him to war with the
dreaded Germans. The only way out
of the situation was to Immediately
sack Delcasse and begin over again.
Inundated as she was by the sacrifice
of a popular secretary of state, France
went patiently to work to reconstruct
the web of her diplomacy. The con-
plished nothing except to prove that
the differences between the continuing
nations are not reconcilable.
That France and Germany will pit
their armies against one another over
this question is scarcely believable.
But it should be borne in mind that
Russia and Japan fought over Just

them owned. If war should come.

SUNLIGHT,
One Of the Most Potent Of All Germ
DestrOyers.

One of the Most Potent Of All Germ
DestrOyers.
There have been sun worshipers
through all the ages. and the sun has
always been recognized as the source
of life and light, Of health and happi-
ness on the earth. Yet it is only re-
Gently that science has found the ex.
planaticL Of this world feeling and has
learned how and why the light Of the
sun is life giving and life saving. It is
only within the last quarter Of Gen.
fury that the medical profession has
discovered that the cause of the great
plaques Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., ty-
phoid fever, pneumonia, cholera, small
pox, yellow fever and all the infectious
and contagious diseases-is due to the
presence within the human body of
heterogeneous. These organisms con-
stitute the lowest forms of animal or
vegetable life-single cells. invisible to
the naked eye. which are reproduced
with frightful rapidly when sown on
q favorable soil.
By itself the knowledge Of this fact
would cause despair if there were moth.
ing to arrest the increase Of the germs
But fortunately it was found at the
same time that there are forces in man
and in nature warning against the mi
mute enemies and that one Of the most
powerful Of such protectors is the light
of the sun.
1t is now known that sunlight is one
of the most potent of all the destroyers
of disease germs. 1t kills them more
certainly than do the strongest disin
fectants. The bacteria that cause pneu
monia, for example, are destroyed with
in less than an hour when exposed tt
the direct rays of the sun and live but
little longer in the diffused light which
fills a room on a bright day.
This knowledge has been turned tt
practical account in the treatment OF
many diseases, especially of the Skin
and superficial parts of the body. I1

tuberculosis of the skin, a positive cure
may result from exposure Of the dis
eased part to the direct rays of the sun
The healing of wounds is promoted

Gus infiammations of the skin have
been cured by the same means. The
curative effect is sometimes obtained by
simple exposure to direct sunlight, but
the best results are brought about by
means of lenses which concentrate the
chemical rays and exclude those Of

IRISH HOME RULE.

The debate on the kings address
to the new British parliament served
mainly to show the utter helplessness
of the unionist party. Major Saunder-
sons amendment to the address in re-
ply, reciting that the loyal people of
Ireland viewed with alarm the intima-
ton of coming home rule, was
rejected by 406 to So votes, showing
that about half the unionists were
against the moderate measure of JUS
tice to Ireland involved in the govern
ment proposals.
For some time it has been suspected
that the tory opposition to Irish home
rule was more political than real. 1t
was something like the standpat poll
tics of the republican party in this
country. So long as the tories were out
of power they would declare that it
was unsafe to have Irish laws revised
except by the friends Of the empire.
When they got into power they would
say that the friends of the empire
thought the laws of Ireland were good
enough The trouble, if any, was with
the people of Ireland.
Now that a great liberal majority
has been returned, Campbell-Banner-
mann is going to try to get the Irish
question out of politics by freeing Ire
land from London rule so far as cir
cumstances will permit How far
that will be cannot be told until the
government introduces its bill That
it will not be as comprehensive as the
Gladstone home rule bill, which set up
national parliament in Dublin, may
be assumed. That it will be some
thing better than Lord Dunraven's
plan for a sort of Irish national board
of tax appropriation also will be as
sumed That whatever it is will grad
ually grow into a parliamentary rep
resentaton of the Irish people is hoped
and believed by all friends of Ireland.

Togo's address to the navy is just
the kind of education which should be

The history of the United States shows
that after every war congress has
practically disbanded the army, and
before every war the president has
been obliged to call out great levies
of militia. This policy has made every
war the country has had cost more in
men and money and time than it
should. 1t is a policy which should be
