EVANSToN'S WOMAN JUSTICE.
Novel Marriage Form of Newly
Elected Official

CHICAGO. April 6.-The tying of the
marital knot, one of the prerogatives of the
office of justice of the peace, is to be
made a speciality by Evanston's recently
elected woman justice, Mrs. Catharine
Waugh McCulloch.
Mrs. McCulloch already has begun to
frame up the obligation which she will re-
quire of each of the contracting parties.
There will be nothing in the marital
obligation, as given by Mrs. McCulloch,
that requires the wife to obey her husband.
On the other hand Mrs. McCulloch has
been magnanimous enough to exclude any
obligation for the husband to obey his wife.
Mrs. McCulloch promises that neither
party will be obliged to make any pledges
that the other party is not bound by.

Ruin Stretches for Niles.

The contradictory and scant news
which has reached the outside world
from Jamaica made it difiicrS to eSti-
mate the extent of the calamity caused
by the earthquake and fire there. Mes
sages received in London by steamship
and cable companies indicate, however,
that while early reports of the de-
struction of Kingston and great loss
of life were exaggerated, the disaster
nevertheless was great Ruin and des-
olatlon are said to stretch for miles
outside the city Of Kingston. The
shocks were felt from fifty to sixty
miles away, and one dispatch from the
temporary cable station at Bull Bay
says that not house between there
and Kingston is unchanged.
Many structures fell in the lower
section of the city after the first shock,
and fire started along the wharves.
The excitement hampered the firemen,
and Il was some time before they
could fight the flames. People rushed
about wildly following the first tremor,
which lasted several minutes, and sue
ceeding shocks, which came quickly,
but which were of smaller force, added
to the terror. The crash Of topping
houses added to the general fright. and
it was some time before the people re-
covered and Sc. to work TO rescue the

their way to the hills after the disas-
