ed guilty to charge of unlawful cohab-

President Smith addressed the court,
saying that his latest marriage occurred
in 1884. All his marriages, he said,
were entered into with the sanction OF
his church, and, as they believe, With

his faith and the law Of the church, the
unions were eternal.
Judge Ritchie imposed the maximum
fne, bot omitted the j all sentence of from
one day TO six months. which lie might
have imposed under the Utah statue.

KILLED mUsB4NpAxDHE HERSELF.

James Hatfield Delaney, rated as a
millionaire and vice president snd treas
urer of the American Shipping Company,
with Offices a! PA CLARK street Chicago,
and with branch Offices at 29 Broadway,
New York city, and in st. Louis, was
shot and killed while asleep in bis room,
at 492 LaSslle avenue, Chicago, early
yerterday morning by his wife, Mrs.
Elizabeth Brown Delaney, former ac-
tress and daughter 0l Charles Edward
Brown, Of Wills Point, Tex, formerly
proprietor OF the Hotel DelpradO.
After firing rue bullett into her hus-
hands brain and another which buried
itself 10 the pillow benea'h his head,
and while in the attitude of prayer she
placed the ruzzle of the revolver IN her
own mouth aud fired, falling dead with
in a few feet Of where Delaney's body
lay.
The police are looking for two women
frequently ssen in company with Mrs
Delaney aud three men, whose identity
has not been established, in hope that
they may give information whicn will ex-
plain a motive ioy the tragedy.
So fai the only motive which the po-
lice can ascribe for The double crime is
that Delsney and bis wife quarreled over
some subject not yet known.
A quart whisky bottle, nearly empty,
and remnants of lunch found in the
room, the police believe, may also have
had something 20 do with the tragedy.
Other stories are told to account for
the double tragedy. One is that Mrs. De
laney had been very jealous OF her hus-
band. A theory sscribiDg an entirely
different cause has it that Delaney,
though supposed to be multimilliNn-
aire, and the head of a $40, 900, 900 con
cern, has actually been financially en-
barrassed for sometime, and that bis
wife, knowing Of their impending pov-
erty, preferred death for both.
Delaney was about SO years old and his
wife about %. Before her marriage the
latter was Miss Bessie Brown. HeI
father, who owns thousands OF acres Of
land in the Southwest, is seprated from
bis wife, anu Miss Brown has spent most
of her life in Chicago.
After finishing a course at the Chicago
Dramatic School, she married several
years ago, and went on the stage later
under the name of Bessie Mortimer, max.
ing her debut in "lhe Silver Shield. "
Alter the murder the woman appears
to have sat for hours beside the bed be
fore she could bring herself to the point
of suicide. Finally she thrust the muz-
eel of the revolver into her mouth and
pulled the trigger Her hand clntchcd
the revolver when the bodies we're dis
covered.

Worked SO Years on a Picture.

Thomas Ball, the sculptor and painter,
who lives at Moutclair, n. j., has just
completed a painting of Christ which he
began ffty-,hree years ago. The picture,
which covers canvas 4. by g. feet, de-
picls "Christ Guiding Marths," as told
10 The Gospel of ST. Luke.
Christ is pictured with flowing locks,
a full beard aud halo OF light about HE
head. Mary sits at his right with her
ewes fixed on His face
Her sister Mattha stands at the
left of Christ, with her head slightly
turned away The background is black,
but shaft of sunlight enters thought an
open door, while beyond the hills and
dales of Palestine are seen.
Mr. Ball began the picture in Boston
fihy three years ago, when he was thirty
four years old, but has been unable Ia
finish it until now because his work as a
sculptor took up his time
Mr.. Bail, at the age Of eighty-seyen,
is wonderfully well preserved, and is
about his studio every day.

According to paragraph In knowl-'
edge, the Franklin Institute has
awarded gold medal for a new pro-
cess by which iron can be made to
grow" The process is said to con-
sist in.several times heating the iron
to a certain critical temperature and
cooling it between times, whereby the
astonishing result is obtained of in
creasing the iron to nearly half as
large again. 1t is reported that two
identical castings we're made, and one
reserved for comparison, while the
other was subjected to this new treat
ment. One side of each was machined
and polished so that examination of
the grain and structure might be
made, but little difference could be
discerned except in point of size,
which was very marked. The weight
of the swelled casting was indentical
with that of the one with which 1t
was compared, but in all other re-
spects the metal appeared to be of
similar character. After this, one is
not surprised to learn that important
practical applications have already
been found for the remarkable discov-
cry; indeed, new uses suggest them
selves instantly to the mind. The
story is so extraordinary, however,
that it may be accepted with some
hesitation until confirmation is af-
forded.-Chambers Magazine.

CORRECTING Children n.

Anyone who has anything to do
with children knows the difficulty of
dealing with childish tempers. Chill
dren are so different that it is ex-
tremely hard to know Just how to
correct them without breaking their
spirit. Too much whipping is a grave
mistake. | am not one of those
mothers who believe a child should
never be whipped. There are times
when few smart smacks are quicker
and more effective than any amount
of reasoning, but child should never
be whipped numerically, nor when
the parent has lost his or her temper.
With some children whipping never
seems to do any good. 1t merely
hardens them and makes them more
determined to go their own way, or
else it makes them deceitful. The
nurse or mother must thoroughly I'M
derstand the nature of the little one
she has to deal with to correct 1t eft
fectively. A little judicious ridicule
is often as good as a severe punish
ment. A cross, fractions child gets
quickly better tempered il left Sc
verely alone until the fit is over. Put
it by itself to play alone. 1t soon
grows tired of its own company and
feels more sociable toward the other
children.-Argus.

MRS. rLEAr1No AM HER woRK.

For that reason she attracted the at
tention of the savants of the Royal AS
Economical Society of London.
Members Of that body as rule are
cold blooded. They do not admit any
one to equality with themselves unless
the right TO comradeship has been clear
ly established.
Mrs. Fleming has passed the fortieth
milestone of lifes journey, but, unlike
many persons who devote themselves to
scientific ends, is affable and charming
Of personality.
In her pronunciation of words
slight burr reminds the nearer that she
is a Scot-in fact, she is a native of
Dundee, in the land Of oatcakes. She
was educated there and taught school
there for five years.
Her father, Robert Stevens, was a
man whose inclination leaned to scien-
tific research and he was the first in
that section to take an interest in the
then new daguerreotype process of pho
Biography. The daughter, however, was
not content to remain amid the rigid
environments of the old world. More
than twenty years ago she came to
America and soon obtained a position
at Harvard observatory as computer.
For some time her work there was of
the simplest character, but, as the value
of her services was recognized, she was
quickly advanced from one post to an
other. In 1897 she was appointed cura.
tor of the astronomical records of the
university and since then her work has
been directed to Il study Of the heavens.
At present she has in charge more
than 100000 glass plates, each covered
with almost countless images of stars
and which make complete record of
the heavens since 1856. Every night
when the weather permits the Harvard
observatory scans the heavens, both In
the northern and southern hemispheres.

She Knew washinaton.

Old Aunt Whey Field, colored
nanny whom her daughter, Ellen
Bowers, says was 11S years old. died
Sunday at her home ZIG Virginia ave-
nue. southeast. Ellen claims that her
mother clearly remembered George
Washington, and had often told Of
events of that period. The aged
woman was buried by the district
government.
Aunt Whey was born, her daughter
says, in 1856. She was the slave of
Henry Field, of Madison county, Va,
and remained in his household until
the time of the Mexican war when
she was sold. During the time she
lived with the family of Mr.. Field, she
saw and heard much of Gen. Wash
ington, and she often related his
deeds to her children and grand
children.
At the beginning of the civil war
she belonged to Sinclair Bouton, of
Madison county, but when freed went
to Tennessee. Ten years later she
came to this city and lived here until
her death.
She is survived by her daughter

Hllly land ought never to be cult
waited, but kept in grass. Sometimes a
farmer has nothing but hills, and il he
raises crop of grain 1t must be on
tins kind of land. In blowing billy
ground one should never plow up and
down the hill unless he wants his soil
carried away with the flood and great
bitches washed in the field. Always
plow around the hill, beginning at the
base and winding up the land at the
top. In this way the soil is thrown so
that it acts as barrier to the water
and will not wash away. The other
day | saw hill that had been plowed
in an ideal manner. 1t had been In
grass and the farmer had commenced
at the base and plowed round and
round it, throwing the thick inverted
sod down the hill and leaving a space
mt the corners of his land that drained
the hill nicely. A recent heavy rain
had not damaged 1t in the least, for all
the water had drained Off from, the cor
ners of the land. The corn should be
planted in tlS manner the hill was
broken. Never plant corn up and down
a hill, for dashlng rain will wash 1t
out Then if the corn is planted the
way the land was broken there will be
10 harm done the land N cultlvating it.
If you have to cultivate the corn plant,

makes matters worse for the soil is
