justice Over Three Score and Ten
Cannot Perform Marriages..
Because the justice had passed the
three score years and ten limit. and
was therefore too old to do legal bust
ness. an interesting case of illegal
marriage occurred in Connecticut.
James G. Billings and young woman
OF somersville. were quietly married
by Justice Washburn of Stafford re-
Gently and returned home and kept
the marriage secret. When Justice
Washburn returned the marriage H.
cense to the town clerks ONCE in
stafford he was informed that the mar
riage was illegal as he was past the
age limit, being over 20 years of age
and, therefore, could not legally per-
form the service. The Billings resi-
dence was hurriedly called by tele-
phone. However. instead of James
Billings receiving the message Il
caught the father of the young man at
the telephone. and upon the sons re-
turn there was stormy session. It
- said young Billings wished to have
the service performed legally, but the
iather objected and the young man
lett town. The young woman then had
warrant issued for Billings and the
case was placed in the hands Of Deputy
Sheriff Wilson, who traced him to YER
mont, where he arrested him and
brought him back.
Billings now refuses to marry the
girl and has been placed under bonds

Now that the internecine war Is over
and the ticket nominated, which Is
more or less satisfactory to everybody,
1t might be we'll to say, Let us have
peace"
theoretically there is nothing wrong
with "insurgentism." In fact, 1t is
we'll we have insurgents at times. The
spirit of opposition to the powers that
be, whether founded on actual or sup
posed conditions is wholesome. Stag
nant and filthy water is completely
purified by agitation and the result
Ing aeration. Even II political con.
dittons are pure, the agitation to the
contrary proves the purity and gives
corresponding satisfaction. The fact
that motives, acts and intentions are
subject to criticism and opposition
does much in itself to make these
what they should be. Every politi-
clan, be he "boss." great or small, is
always looking for insurgentism and
trims his sails accordingly.
The deceased "populist" party was
one of the best things that ever &C.
Cured to politics in this country. Not
that the doctrines of that party were
sound, but that these doctrines ap-
pealed to the pockets and reason of a
large class of people that habitually
ignore politics and political questions.
These became interested to greater
degree than ever before, and the en-
suing presidential election proved that
these people had been thinking and
studying financial problems that they
had hardly ever heard of previously
and had arrived at the correct con-
clusions.
The difficulty with most movements
Of the insurgent sort is that in many
cases the extreme is sought rather
than the conservative. For instance,
in the late unpleasantness there were
many people who were more or less
opposed to certain methods and acts
of the leaders of the republican party
OF this state. On such an issue the
insurgents could have had quite a
following. possibly majority, but the
campaign was carried to a personal
basis and to personal villification of
the leaders of the party, to such an
extent that almost every republican
voter who had taken an active part
in politics felt as though he himself
must be part of the machine and re-
sponsible for its misdeeds-or else the
insurgents were mistaken in their
claims.
That the stalwarts naturally re-
taliated in kind is matter of his
tory. OF course, as party matter
much of this is all wrong. When the
leaders on both sides have been so
villified by the other members, what
is the independent or floating voter to
think of the party that has been fol-
lowing such leaders?
So we say it is time for peace within
the ranks, and next time we should
not forget the hereafter of it, when we
wash our dirty linen in public. Now
We are or ought to be all republicans.

Embarrassing.

In a review of Herbert Paul's Life
OF Froude," in "The Bookman." Pro-
fessor Peck adds an anecdote to the
discussion of the Froude-Freeman
;eud. The two men happened once to
be present at the meeting of a learned
society, before which Freeman was
to speak on an early English subject
Some laundering person went up to
Froude and asked him to introduce the
speaker. 1t was an embarrassing
moment, yet Froude could not decline
without long explanation. Therefore
he advanced to the front of the Mat.
form and spoke the following words.
Ladies and Gentlemen-I have the
honor to present to you Mr.. Edward A,
Freeman, the distinguished regius pro.
lessor of history in the University Of
oxford. He illustrates in his own ner-
son better than any Englishman nouv
living the rude manners of our Saxon
ancestors"

bly, more hotel accommodations to the
size of the place than anywhere else

Berlin, Aug. 1s.-In the city of Es-

parts of the German empire are gath

the annual meeting of the Roman Cath

are to begin tomorrow and continue

representatives of the faith, both cler.

and some Of the speeches delivered in
the past have had far reaching effect,
but the relations Of the Catholic church
and the government at present are
most satisfactory and it is not antic-

BRILLIANT LADY
SERIOUSLY Ill
su I'D
Mrs. Ronalds, Popular Ameri-
can Hostess, Rapidly Fail
ing in Health.
HER LIFE SPENT IN LONDON


A.seciated Press Cable to The Evenins
Tlmes.
London, Aug. 1S.-In view of her
advanced age the illness of Mrs. Ron
aids. the popular American hostess,
Is causing serious anxiety, and al
though her friends are being told that
she is better, her recovery is regarded
as very doubtful.
Mrs. Ronalds Is past seventy years
Of age. Her social career has been
both brilliant and unique. She was
Miss Mary Frances Carter Of Boston.
Nearly fifty years ago she married
Pierre Lorillard Ronalds, a cousin of
the late Pierre Lorillard, the million
aire SNUFF maker. She lived eight
years with her husband and they had
four children. Then they decided that
they were uncongenial and separated.
1t was not until 1899 that divorce pro-
ceedings we're begun, and then the
husband began suit in Connecticut,
accusing Msr. Ronald of desertion. He
died short time ago, nearly eighty
years of age.
After the separation Mrs. Ronalis
came to Europe and ever since has
made her home on this side of the
water. She played a brilliant part in
the court life of Napoleon ILLS unhap-
py rule, and with the fall of that mon
arch came over to London to dominate
no less than her artistic talent and
infinite tact. gave her power, the
influence of which 1t is hard to esti-
mate. She has been a clever organ
izer and shrewd woman of business,
and these qualities combined to form
q personality of extraordinary attrac-
ton. She is intimate with the royal
family. She Is the friend and hostess
of every artist of any repute. Until
her recent illness her house on Sun
days was crowded by the most brilliant
assemblies that could be found any,
where in the metropolis. Great COM
posers and conductors, Italian opera
stars, virtuosi of the greatest reputa-
ton, authors of worldwide fame, go
ciety in its most fascinating and exclu-
sive form, were to be found every week
crowding her moderate drawing room.
Mrs. Ronalds always has enjoyed q
large income and its source has been
a subject of no little mystery and
speculation. It has been limited fire.
quently that the bulk of her revenue
was derived from generous tips given
to her by Americans who relied on her
to make the acquaintance of the smart
set in London. It has been said that
1t was due to her influence that Mrs.
Mackay got admission to the highest
social circles and made the acquaint-
ance of King Edward and his friends.
1t is said also that it was Mrs. Ronalds
who smoothed the way for Consuelo
Vanderbilt when she came here as the
Duchess of Marlborough, and scores
of others now prominent doubtless owe
to her their introduction into the
charmed circle of upper society. Her
death would mark the passing of a
most unique figure and she would be
greatly missed.

NORWEGIAN EMIGRATION.

Norwegians throughout the north
west will be interested in the recent
statement of Dr. hansen, the famous
economist of that country. concerning
the emigration of the people of that
nation to America and the success
they have obtained in the land of their
adoption.
The doctor claims that during last
year $1,000 Norwegians left that coun-
try for America. The remarkable
thing is that these figures represent
two-thirds of the excess of births over
the deaths during the period men,
toned.
But it is not this feature of the
Norwegian question that is especially
interesting. Ten years ago it was
claimed by one of the best informed
authorities on the question that the
Norwegians owned as much farming
land in this country as they did at
home. Today according to DR.. hansen
they own six times as much. A part
of this can be ascribed to the fact that
there are many thousand more of them
in this country now than there were
decade ago.
However, there is the further fact
that every Norwegian who comes to
this country gets piece of land the
very first thing. They are farmers
who know the value of land. They
know what it means to be the possess
sor Of the primitive source of wealth
and they get it first of all.

The democratic enthusiasm which
was manifest for a few days follow
ing the Minot convention, is percepti-
bly, diminishing. The we'll informed
members of that party-and there are
many of them-know there is not a
ghost of a show of electing their
ticket, and while they desire to pre-
serve the party organization by nam
ing ticket, they were not willing to
staultify their intelligence by claiming
it could be elected.

1t certainly was disappointment
to the newspapers of the Times Record

about 20 per cent, increasing their

but a trifie higher, showing that the
work can be done at profit at these
prices. The firm of Walker Bros. &
