Similarity of Two Cases.

Two husbands. both colored. answering
to the names of Albert Dorsey and Jo-
seph Lee, living in different parts of the
city, were struck with the same idea
Thursday night-that they had a special
province to correct the habits of their re-
spective wives Each decided that his
wife should not stay out in the evening
and each found fault along that line
Then both tried the same tactics to rem
edy the matter, using physical persua-
sion.
Both husbands attained the same re-
suit. They were locked up by the police
on charges of assaulting their wives.
Both wives appeared in court with the
same limp, and after they had told theil
tales each husband received sentence
of $40 fine or sixty days in Jail.

Forty Cents a Word.

That is the price that Mark Twain re-
ceived for his autobiography, the high
est ever paid an author. In fact, II
nearly doubles any sum heretofore paid
a literary man for a connected work
Mark Twain is about the only author who
could withstand the shock of receiving it,
There is but one thing to be said about
this price. Mark TWains story of his own
life is worth it. Remember that IL be-
gins tomorrow in the Sunday Stars
magazine.

cities the voters IN divided into two
classes according to their property and
the number Of deputies divided equally
between them, thus giving the wealthy
minority the same representation as
the poor majority. The numbeF Of
cities with separate representation is
reduced from twenty four to six, and
the peasants lose their separate repre-

giving preponderance to the landlords.
Besides, the ministry may divide the
voters in any district according to their

Japanese Majority Friendly.
Representatives Of the Seiyukai, or
Government party, in Japan met at
Tokyo and resolved that, while the re-
cent prosecutions of Japanese citizens
in San Francisco are to be regretted,
Japan could not forget the close friend

Of Commodore Perry and that these
local prosecutions should not be taken
as an expression of the attitude Of the
American government or as an express.
sion of the will of the American peo-
pie. At the Japanese legation in Wash
ington the persistent report that Am
bassador Aoki was to be recalled and
Baron Kaneko appointed in his place
was denied unof1cially. It is known,
however, that the anti-American party
has been working hard to bring about
the recall Of Aoki.
What France and Japan Gain.
The new treaty between France and
Japan was read in the French chamber
by Foreign Minister Pichon. The
chief purpose of the treaty from the
standpoint Of France is to insure her
possessions in Indo-China, and in re-
turn for this diplomats read between
the lines a tacit understanding that
Japan will have c to the French
money market in the negotiation Of fu-
ture loans. 1t is understood that Japan
expects to borrow something like ST.

in order to convert her high rate loans
into easier securities and furnish the
capital for large industrial develop
ments.
cIemenceau's Strange Warning.
In the French chamber the extreme
gravity of the wine c%ulturists' strike
appeared. from the statement made by
Premier Clemenceau requesting a post
ponement of the Interpolation by the
opposition. This was opposed by the
Socialists, but Clemenceau warned the
chamber that if another cabinet were
to. succeed his it would find itself face
to face with difficulties now unknown
to most of the deputies, and he added
that the members from the Midi could
not enter their own districts with safe
ty at the present moment. NJ. Rlbot.
in the name Of the Center. said that
the disturbance in the Midi hight be-
come a terrible insurrection on the
morrow. The chamber sustained
Clemenceau by a vote Of 412 to IFS.
Later the leaders of the strike were
arrested.

Judge Davis of Minot enjoys
something of a reputation as
matchmaker, but last Saturday he
tied a knot that, it seems, will
have to be united. 1t happened
in this wise:
Steven Balissky, a farmer about
45 years of age, living 8 miles
south of Dogden, some time ago
came to the conclusion that it is
not we'll for man to live alone, and
sent back to his native Russia, for
a helpmate. The girl, Terresskha
Illinisskha, age 10, came over with
the understanding that, if mutual
ly suited, they would marry.
But Miss Terresska Illinisskha
was not suited. So he told her
that if she would accompany him
to Minot and make arrangements
to repay the money he had sent
her, that would settle the matter.
But at Minot Balissky procured a
marriage license and had judge
Davis perform the ceremony. The
girl who does not understand a
word Of English, all of a sudden
found that she was Mrs. Balissky.
This was on June %. The bride
wept and would not be consoled.
On Tuesday the couple where in
town and had j. L. Thomas help
them get disentangled. Balissky
agreed to forfeit all money sent the
girl ond she in turn agrees not to
prosecute, The necessary legal
steps have been taken to have the
marriage set aside. Thus endeth
