MARRIED ALL OF
A SUDDEN.
Girl Popped Question and We'd
ding Followed in Is Minutes

A hfteen-minute courtship
preceded a romantic leap-year
wedding at the parsonage of the
Union M. F. Church, at Burling-
ton, N j., when the Rev. John
w. Lynch, the marrying par
son, tied the knot for Howard
Ellis Appiegate of Camden, and
Miss Elizabeth Carpenter, of Mt.
Holly. The couple had left the
county seat for a phaeton ride.
The bridegroom would not ac-
knowledge it, but friends of the
pair say that pretty Miss Carpen-
ter popped the question and APP
Plegate not to be outdone, made
the counter proposition that the
ceremony be performed at once.
A quarter of an hour afterward
they knocked at the parsonage
door.

Working Graft on Farmers.

Several smooth swindlers are

goods with the farmer, taking
the notes of those who are good

the swindlers skip, and when the
buyer comes to town he is unable

THREATEN TO
SUE THE STATE
MICS. OF BEVERAGES AND
OTHER PRODUCTS CON-
TANNING SACCHAR-
INE USED AT SODA
FOUNTS FIGHT
FOR LIFE.

1t seems that a war between
the Indiana state board of health
and the manufacturers in the
large cities that make beverages
and other products containing
saccharine is imminent. 1t is
known that representatives of
the big companies nave been in
Indianapolis recently and one of
them, Thomas E. Lannen, of
Chicago, attorney for Hutchin-
son & Co., of that city, called at
the office of H. E. Barnard, state
food and drug commissioners,
with the interesting information
that he would shortly bring suit
against the state board of health.
If Lannen keeps his WORD it is
expected this suit will be filed
soon.
The trouble began last sum-
mer when the state board issued
a rule prohibiting the sale in In
diana of any articles containing
saccharine. Immediately the big
manufacturers of such articles IN
New York, Chicago, and other
large cities hurried to Indianap-
oils for a conference, but Mr..
Barnard and the state board re-
fused to recede, so the matter
was dropped for the time being.
Recently, however, John
Owens, food inspector, found a
dealer at Clinton selling sirup
which contained saccharine. This
dealer was warned that he must
not sell it. He said the manu-
facturer had agreed to stand be-
hind him if trouble arose. The
manufacturer is Hutchinson &
Co., of Chicago.
When Mr.. Lannen, represent
ing Hutchinson & Co., called at
the office of Mr.. Barnard, he re-
|quested the latter to file suit
against the Clinton dealer in or
der that the question might be
tested by the court. Mr.. Barnard
explained that he held the manu-
facturer and not the dealer re-
sponsible, and that therefore he
would not file suit. He said it
had been his policy in such cases
to lead the dealer Alright and not
to prosecute if it could be avoid
led. Lannen then said he would
bring suit to enjoin Mr.. Barnard
from warning dealers against
selling preparations containing
saccharine.
The state board objects to the
sale of preparations containing
saccharine because it is regarded
as injurious. "Saccharine is a
coal tar product" said Mr.. Bar
nard, "and it is a fraud. 1t is
four or five hundred times as
sweet as sugar and the use of il
lis cheap way of making things
sweet. But it has no food value.
1t is we'll known that sugar is an
excellent food. The stomach
Graves sugar not because sugar
lis sweet but because it contains
elements which build up the
body" Mr.. Barnard explains
further that when the stomach
Graves sugar and gets saccharine
1.-THE stomach is fooled" The
craving is satisfied, but absolute.
ly no benefit is gained from the
presence of the saccharine.
The use OF saccharine has been
prohibited in great many coun.
tries. Belgium has prohibited
the importation, manufacture
and sale of saccharine. Germany
in 1899 passed law prob ibitine
its use in the production of beer
wine, etc. Great Britain prohib-
its the use of saccharine in the
manufacture of beer. France
prohibits the importation of sac.
charine. Many other govern.
ments have taken similar action

The Change" in Bryan.

1t suits the ardent hopes OF
Democrats to persuade them,
selves that their twice rejected
candidate for the presidency has
been so transformed by study
and travel, chastened by defeat
and instructed by the flight of
years that he is now everything
he once was not.

CONJUGAL LOVE
BREAKS WILL
PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOL
IS DENIED $4,000 FOR
TEACHING SWEDEN
BORG IDEAS ON
CONJUGAL
STATE.

Any bequest in Pennsylvania to
any institution that teaches CON-
jugal love after the tenents of
Swedenborg is void. So decided
Judge Smith of the Lancaster
County Orphans Court Monday
in the opinion distributing $751;
7S5 in the estate of Frederick 7.
Kramph. The rules of conduct
enumerated in SwedenDorgs
book, Judge Smith declares, de-
rogate the statutes of the COM
monwealth and are in conflict
with public policy. Concluding
Judge Smith says:
"While it appears that the
-sdemy of the New Church is
such school as was intended by
the testator to receive the residue
OF his estate, yet it also appears
that the testator's intention was
not a proper one. While one in
a lifetime may donate his prop
erty. as he pleases, may choose
his God or gods according to the
dictates of his own conscience,
may adopt any religion which is
agreeable to him, and may create
his own form of worship, yet he
may not contribute his estate to
take effect after death for the
nurture of objects outside the
limits of social entity
For that reason the bequest
is decided to be void, and, it fall
ing, the estate will be distributed
under the intestate laws of the
state"
There were three claimants to
the bequest in question, two rival
factions in the Swedenborg
church and the heirs of the estate
The court awarded the entire es-
tate to the heirs.
Mr.. Kramph died fifty years
ago, but his real estate was only
recently sold. In his will he gave
the residue OF his estate for the
endowing of university of the
New Jerusalem to be founded in
the consolidated city of Philadel-
phia for the education of minis
tiers who are TO teach the doc
trines laid down in the writings
of Swedenborg. The Academy
of the New Church. with a uni
versity at Bryn Athyn, near Phil
adelphia, proved its right to the
bequest under the will.
The one complaint against his
teachings is on conjugal love,
and the court devotes its opinion
to that feature and says the
teaching is in conflict with the
laws of the state and contrary
to accepted public policy.
The testimony showed that the
general council of the Academy
of the New Church holds that the
work of Swedenborg on conjugal
love is part of the divine revel-
alton to him and is, with the 9TH
er works of Swedenborg, author
itative and infallible.
The court holds that it may be
regarded as settled in this State
that court of equity will not en-
force a trust where its object is
the propagation of atheism, inf
deity or immortality. A man
may do while living that which
the law will not do for him after
death.
There is no ambiguity in this
will, the court says. The tes-
tator wanted his estate 10 go to
an institution where all of Swed-
enborg's writings were taught.
Of these conjugal love is one, and
it is forbidden by the statute and
is in conflict with public policy as
defined by the Supreme Court. "
An appeal will be taken from
| Judge Smiths decision to the Su-
preme Court by the Academy of
the New Church

Washington. Dec. 2e.--In an official statement issued at the White House today in regard to tue presidential in- terferenees in the case of pr@sfdeut Gompe.s. Vice President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison of the American Federation Of Labor. now under sen-. tence for contempt of court, attention is called to the fact that the cases. are. still before the courts and that no mat ter what the presidents opinion may be as to the business of the sentences.
 imposed, he cannot take any action looking to pardon or. express any opinion as to the merits of the cases.
 The text of the statement follows:
 Various appeals have been made to the president to interfere by Dardons associates Those making the appeals are unaware Of the fact that the matter ia still before ths courts.
 Tt is a eivl4 suit between private parties and there has been no way by. which the government could have in- tervened even if It had desired to do so. Whether the president does or does not think the sentence of Mir. 6iompers and his associates excessive Is not st present of consequence. be- cause nc cannot take any~action or express any opinions while the case Is pending before the courts.
 When the decision Is made then the president can promptly consider whether the terms of iinprisonmentare excessive or improper. But 1t is. of course impossible for the president to act while an appeal is pending for he has nothing whatever to act about. The courts must finish with the case first. and the defendants are at the present moment at liberty on ball.
 If the defendants see 1t to aban- don their appeal the matter will then, of course. be brought before the exec utive. in which lease 9t will. receive. immediate and most careful consld eration.
 "But the defendants have q perfect right to prosecute their appeal and if successful in the final court: then to Ask for 8 pardon or communication. But as long ss they are prosecuting ssp ap- peal the president has nothing to do with the matter.
 The president has already instructed, the Department of Justice to keep hIm informed as to the progress of the case so that In the event of its becoming his disposal all the facts which will enable him to decide whether theEe was justihcation for the sentence and whether id there was Justification for some punishment the sentence is or is not altogether too severe.
 ''But at present the president has no more to do with the case than with the case of the 900 fine imposed by Judge Eandis on the Standard Oil Copmany. which IS also on appeal and concerning which the president. has also been repeatedly asked to interfere by we'll meaning persons who did not Know tn at he could not interfere while sthe matter was stiIl before the courts on appeal"

Mattiss fantastic act without politi- cal importance
 The recent disorders at the Academy of Medicine. while originating from genuine dissatisfaction with the new system Of examinations. are attriDut- ed largely to this same royalist and clerical agitation, which some time ago brought about the retirement of Pro- lessor ThaIamas. whose offense con- sisted in writing history of Joan of Arc to prove that the stories of her divine inspiration were mere legends devoid of any historic foundation.
 The mental calibre Of Mattis is it. frustrated by the fact that he was vic timfxed few weeks ago by a matri- monial advertisement. He gave up hts entire savings $1.20o under the fITi- pression that he was about to marry a woman of great wsaith.
 The MattIs incident was discussed at today.s meeting of the cabinet and 1t was decided '.by energetic action to prevent the occurrences of similar outrages
