London, Sept. 19.-Mrs. Matilda
Stanley, wife of clergyman, was
charged at the Old Bailey yesterday
with publishing false and detamatory
libel concerning Lady Gwendoline Ce-
Gil, daughter of the late marquis Of

One paragraph in the pamphlet
reads as follows: Scandal arose be-

MOTHERS PITIABLE PLIGHT.
Maid, Wife, Widow and Mother of
QuadrupIets Within a Year.

bankruptcies Within Year.
Chicago, Sept. 20.-Seldom in the
history Of human sorrows has a more
pitiable tale been recorded than that of
Mrs. David Watson, who gave prema-
ture birth to bankruptcies Tuesday, two
weeks after the tragic death of her llus-
band, and on the eve Of the first ami
,versary of her marriage. Misfortune
would seem to have marked the I'M
happy mother for it's own and the
story of her life is gloomy record Of
unmerciful disaster, scarcely Hghtened
by a single flash of sunshine
David Watson was killed two weeks
ago by train at st. Paul, where he
had gone in search Of work, leaving
his young wife, shortly to become a
mother, in Chicago. The shock of his
death caused the premature birth OF
the children, while it left the widowed
mother, Frustrated beneath the double
blow, penniless, to rely on the charity
Of her neighbors.
Mrs. Watson was born in the south,
where her grandfather was the owner
of large plantation, a wealthy and
prosperous man.! When the civil war
swept over the country, with its after
math of ruin and desolation, it car
ried away in it's vortex the fortune Of
the planter, the broken old man dying
shortly afterward.
His son, Mrs Watson's father took
up the burden of life, totally unfit as
he was by the education given south
ern young men Of the period, to sustain
the fight. For a time his struggles were
successful, but the birth of his child,
his only daughter, seemed to be the
forerunner of a series of misfortunes
against which he fought in vain. Ev-
cry venture in which he embarked
seemed to be doomed from the outset.
1t seemed as if it was only necessary
for him to put his hand to an enter
prise to mark 1t a failure. He saw
the position which he had acquired
crumble away and in desperate coup
to recover what he had lost was over
whelmed with absolute ruin.
The blow proved too much for the
unhappy man and the day his ruin was
assured he was carried to his home
corpse. Heart disease" was the YER
dict returned by the jury. A few
weeks later his wife, who had fought
CALAMITY by his side thru the unequal
struggle. also abandoned the fight. One
day her daughter returning home
found her sitting in her chair dead.

RIpIcuLEs NEW SPELLING.
Lord Rosebery Makes Humorous Ad
dress on Roosevelt Ruling.


Hawick, Scotland, Sept. 19.-Lord
Rosebery, speaking at the jubilee din
ner last night of the Hawick Archae-
illogical Society, humorously referred
to Mr.. Roosevelt's spelling reform,
saying blow struck at the recognized
rules of spelling of the English race
was a blow at morality itself.
Conscientious and virtuous people he
said, were hampered by spelling, but
the INSCRIPTIONS and vicious spelled
ahead according to phonetic rules of
their own, producing results fully &C
ceptable to themselves and sometimes
understood by others.
He was not at all sure that the
archaic rules of spelling laid down by
tradition and stereotyped by the die
tionaries had not filled half the luna
tic asylums of the country. The con-
scientious man got muddled, but the
unscrupulous went ahead, and at the
last moment of his life might he hon
ored by the homage Of the president
of the United States.

tnonds valued at more than $1,000 from
the dead body of the wife of Henry
Briggs, of Pasadena. The robbery took
place August 20 and up to the time of
the arrest it was kept secret. The
Howard woman, it is said, had not
succeeded in disposing of the jewels.
The diamonds were stolen from the
corpse of the late Mrs. Briggs at Santa
Monica Immediately after her death.
Mrs. Briggs had been in failing health,
and finally her husband decided to take
her to Santa Monica in the hope that
the sea air would save her life This
hope aroved vain, and after an illness
of weeks MIS-. Briggs died.
