PRINCE JOHN HAS A BIRTHDAY.
Youngest Child of the Prince and tho
Princess of Wales.
Snecial to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
London, July 12.-Prince John
Charles Francis, the youngest child of
the Prince and Princess of Wales. had
a birthday today. Though Prince
John is but two years old and stands
sixth in line of succession to the
throne, his birthday anniversary is
accorded the same official honors as
in the case of the older members of
the royal family.
1t is interesting to note, by the
way, that Prince Johns birthday coin
cides with that of Julius Caesar. After
the latter's death and dedication the
augurs announced that whoever saw
the light on Caesars birthday was
destined to happiness and great
glory" II goes without saying that
all England hopes this representation
may prove correct in Prince Johns
case.

QUICK TO MARRY AGAIN.
Her Divorce AnnuIIed by Judge Who
Holds Strictly to Statute.

Nashville, H., Dec. 10. - Judge
Charles 4. Moore of this city, one of
the presiding judges OF the Third ju-

county circuit court of Pinckneyville.
which, if carried out, will affect hun
dreds of Illinois couples married in
the past.
Mrs. Biby was granted divorce
last May and was married six days
later in St. Louis to Eleahnia Felts of
this city Judge Moore upon hearing
of the marriage rescinded his former
ruling and withheld his final decision
until this term of court, when he dis.
missed the case, leaving the COM
painant still legally married to Biby
and illegally married to Felts
Under the ruling of the new Illi-
nois law divorced persons cannot re-
marry within a year, but they have
eluded the provisions of the law by
going to other states to have the nup-
tial knot tied.
In his opinion Judge Moore states
that the complainant entered into an
other marriage contract before she
was legally separated from Biby and
before the decree was approved and
entered on the docket and while that
term OF court was still In session.
Furthermore, he says that she vio-
lated the statute by marrying con
trary to the provision of the contem.
plated decree which states that no
divorced person shall remarry in less
Than II months.

Fairmount Coal company at Monon'
gah, w. Va Flfty-six hours had elapsed
since the awful explosion and ma
jority of the bodies brought to the sur.
face were in terrible condition, ne
cessitating almost immediate burial.
1t is believed that the number Of
dead will not be over 400. A thorough
investigation was made by the compa'
ny and it was discovered that many
miners believed to have been entomb-
ed had escaped because they had not
gone to work Friday after Thursdays
holiday.
Shortly after o'clock Sunday after
noon fire broke out again in No. 8, and
the rescuers were at once ordered to
the surface.
1t was said by members of the rescu-
ing party that over 100 bodies have
been located in both mines and that
they will be brought to the surface as
soon as the fire has been eXtfnguished.
The system of rescue work was al
most perfectly organized and excellent
results were obtained. Much headway
was made into both mines and about
% more bodies were recovered during
Sunday morning and early afternoon.
1t is now known just how long a man
can stay in the foul air of the mines,
and relays of Is minutes have been
provided. With cloclllke precision
the relief appears and good progress
was made all day until halted by the
fire.

C w. Watson of the Fairmount Coal
company. he says;
There have been numerous reports
that the families of the dead men are
destitute. These reports are wrong.
The Fairmount Coal company is TAX
ing and will take care of the families.
