peremptory in manner and quick to

points are that he is fearless, an In

has a passion for the vendetta, and
his blood fueds are pursued with no
uncertain energy.

GIRLS JOG YOU'D MEMORY.
Married Mans Word Holds Good
When Word Releases.

An engagement made by a mar
ried person to wed another. in the
event of death bringing freedom to
do so, is valid ground for breach Of
promise proceeding il not kept. This
was the ruling of Lord Coleridge re-
Gently, and 1t established law upon
point never before ruled upon.
The action. which came up at the
Lincoln Assizes, was brought by Miss
Wilson to recover from Sidney B.
Carnley,, a solicitor. damages for
breach of promise, having been made
while the defendants wife was still
living.
On the third day the jury found
for the plaintiff and awarded $500
damages In respect OF the breach.
Hugo Young (for Mr.. Carnley) /.
submitted that the plaintiff could not
recover damages against a married
man, as It was contrary to public
policy that a contract should be en-
tered into for marriage upon a wife'a
death. The tendency Of such a prom
Use might be to lead even to murder.
Lord Coleridge, ip delivering judg-
ment. said no was asked to set pre-
cedent. Whatever his personal
opinion might be II regard to this
form of action, he shrank from the
holding that such a contract was
void as being against public policy.
II he was wrong, therefore, give
Judgment for the plaintiff with costs.
The court even went so far as to
decide adversely in a counter claim
for damages for libel, in which earn.
ley had been awarded one farthing
damages. and sought To- have the
costs imposed upon the woman. The
Judge argued that the verdict implied
contempt for the cause. and he exer-
cised his discretion in keeping with
it,. ~

THE GIRLS ARE MAD.
Pastor Goes Outside His Flock for
Mate.

WOoDHAyEN,y N, Y. Sept. Ar
"Shall pastor please his bride or
his congregation" is the question
that confronts the Rev. LEROY
Brown, of the First Presbyterian
church. Mr.. Brown is going to
marry q girl from the Congregation
alist flock of that town. The cere-
mony is scheduled to take place in
the Congregational church. The girls
of Mr.. Browns own flock are saying:
He had to go out of his own
church to get a wife. We were good
enough for him. Let him go else
where for wedding guests, too; we
will not attend"
Miss Anna Schuster, a pretty SOL
DIST in the Congregationalist choir. ls
the bride-to-be. 1t being a BRIDES
prerogative to choose the place of the
wedding, she naturally chose her
own church. Her clergyman fance
agreed, not dreaming Of any objec-
ton by his own people.
But now the question is absorbing
both fiocks. Some OF the Presby-
terrain men believe that the Rev. Mr..
Brown should at least have the cere-
mony in his own church. The Con-
gregationalists naturally think the
brides word should be final. Then,
they argue. their church is the larg-
est and could comfortably hold
everybody who wanted to attend the
wedding. r. &
Both Mr.. Brown and Miss Schuster
are away from Woodhaven on vaca-
tions. but the debate waxes warm
without them. The ceremony will not
take place until october. The elder
folks OF both churches hope a COM
promise may be reached BY then.
