Spain Demands Explanations

By Associated Press.
MADRID, May 14.-The minister of
foreign affairs, upon being informed
of the encounter at Casa Blanca be-
tween French and Spanish troops, de-
manded details and explanations from
Paris. The matter has created con-
siderable excitement here. Some news
papers advise the immediate with
drawal of the Spanish troops, saying
that there is bad blood between them
and the French and that repetition of
the trouble is likely if they remain in

VETERAN SOLDIER
DESIRES DIVORCE
SAYS WIFE CLAIMED He WAS
INSANE
Judge Grants Time So Dispositions Of
Woman and Son-in.Law Can

what does that old man want a
divorce for anyhow" queried Judge
Charles Monroe after hearing testi-
mony that it was hoped would free
William Keith, a grizzled veteran of
the civil war, from Mary L. Keith of
Beaver City, Neb., whom he married
forty-one years ago.

Their hearing, declaring emphatically
the old mans story had not been cor
roborated.
Keith was attired in blue uniform
and brass buttons, familiar to all who
have visited the soldiers home. He
said that in November, 1901, after he
had chided his younger wife for sert-
Gus indiscretions she and his son-in-
law conspired together and had him
declared insane and placed in the in
sane asylum at Lincoln. He was there
ten weeks and discharged.
Wife Threatens Husband
II went home" he said, land then
my wife and son-in-law began to say
they would put me back in the asy-
lum, and finally they did say they
were going to have a guardian ap-
pointed for me. They tried to do this
and failed.
Then my wife said she wanted a
settlement, and my son-in-law said
the only way to get rid of me was to
pay me for my share of the farm and
for me to pack my buds and git /
told them what l would take and they
paid it. Then they left me in Beaver
City and drove back to the farm. I
went to the soldiers home at Milford,
Neb., first, and then I came to Saw
dondo. 1 hav,,'t seen my wife since.
I don't think l was crazy then, and I
don't think l am crazy now"
], r. Summer of Beaver City, Neb.,
said he knew Keith in the east and
never had considered him insane, but
he knew nothing of the family troubles,
and Judge Monroe insisted on more
material testimony.
Wife Given Divorce
Elvessa Miller was granted a d.
Vorce from Jesse A. Miller, an employe
of the Los Angeles Railway company,
by Judge w. p. James yesterday on
the ground of cruelty. 1t was shown
that Miller had been in the habit of
from home overnight and for weeks at
a time refused to speak to his wife.
Miller was ordered by the court to
pay $35 month for the support of his
three children. The couple were mar
ried in Springfield. Ohio, in 1894 and
came to this city three years ago.
Sarah Kemmerling was granted an
interlocutory decree from Andrew
Kemmerling by the same judge. They
were married in 1895 in Chicago, and
the woman was deserted by her hus-
band at Martin, Iowa, August 6, 1901.

GHOSTS PRACTICAL JOKES.

LONDON, December 21.-The ghost Of
an Irish giant. perhaps Finn McCoull

way, has been amusing himself for the
last few weeks by frightening the peo-
pie in the neighbOrhood OF Galway. One
Saturday night a couple of young men on
their way home from a party At the VIII
lage of Newcastle were crossing the rail-
way line near a place called Granville.
when they saw a human form about nine
feet high confronting them. When they
approached the specter it vanished, but
reappeared about forty yards further
down the railway, and was last seen go
ing in the direction of Tough Corrfb. The
young men brought the story into Galway
City, and the next night half a dozen of
their friends started to interview the
giants ghost. They were armed WITH
shOtguns and revolvers, and soon after
they arrived at the place they saw the
giant coming toward them One Of the
men raised revolver, but before he could
fire he became unconscious and fell into
the arms of his companions, who paid
no more attention to the ghost One OF
them declares. however, that he heard the
ghost laughing. The unconscious man
was carried into Galway, and taken TO
medical man. who revived him after
some hours work. Other parties went
out Monday and Tuesday nights, but the
ghost failed to appear.

RIGHT TO SUCCESSION.
Count George to Present Claims to
Luxembourg Throne.

BRUSSELS, December p. Count
George of Nuremberg, who is the NOR
ganatic SON of the late Grand Duke Mich
olas of Luxemburg-the uncle of the
reigning Grand Duke .Adolphe-will
shortly present before the German courts
at Wiesbaden a personal claim to the
throne of the grand duchy. The count ar
CUES that in conformity with the family
agreement of 1888, which says that the
succession to the Luxembourg throne can
only revert to a woman if no male Off
spring is alive, he. as nephew of the
reigning monarch, has a distinct right to
the succession.
1t is, however, contended, on the other
hand that the marriage of Count Meren-
berg, father of the Grand Duke Nicholas,
was morganatic, and that the sole fact
of this marriage destroys any claim 10
the Luxembourg succession on the part OF
the offspring of the Grand Duke Nicholas.
The case will be decided by two of the
Wiesbaden courts soon. Count Meren-
bergs mother was the daughter of AL
exander Pushkin, the Russian writer.

THE KlNGMAKER.
Earl Of Warwick, q Heroic Figure IN
English History.

English History.
The Earl Of Warwick, commonly
called the '.kingmaker," from the fac
ulty with which he created and de-
posed monarchs during the contest
between the house Of York and Lam
caster, lived in style Of magnifcence
and hospitality OF which no period per-
jhaps furnishes an example. No less
than 10000 persons are said to have
lived at his board in the different
manors and castles which he pos
sessed, and the military, a1iured by his
hospitality as well as his bravery, were
strongly attached to his interests. This
distinguished warrior fell at the bat
tie Of Barnet in 1471, when, owing to
the mistake Of one part of his army
falling upon the other during fog, he
was defeated by Edward Nv.
In former battles Warwick had al
ways fought on horseback, that he
might at once ride along the line and
perceive the particulars OF the action,
but on this occasion he determined to
fight on foot, that his soldiers might
see that he was resolved to share with
them the dangers Of the day. After
having exerted himself as an officer
and hero In fruitless attempts to turn
the tide Of fortune in his favor he
rushed into the hottest part Of the bat
tie and fell covered with wounds. His
brother, Montacute, in endeavoring to
save him met a similar fate.

THE BUTCHER BIRD.

The butcher bird is the only Austria
liam bird which takes thought for the
morrow. It keeps store of slaugh-
tered wrens and tomtits in any old hol-
low it can find and looks up the pantry
whenever the commissariat depart
ment requires attention. r;
Once when the writer was with a
fencing party. q couple OF butcher
birds came round the camp and got
quite tame. One morning we amused
ourselves by cutting up some raw
meat into chunks, and hurting the
same in the direction Of the butchers.
They felded them and flew with them
into the scrub. s -
A hundred yards from camp was a
tree which had been wrecked by q
high wind, leaving q splintery break.
The splinters were tastefully decor
ated with the fragments Object. The
supply didn't all disappear for nearly
a week. During that time other birds
occasionally came and looked at the
meat; but the butcher birds were
watching their stock OF hung prov
ender, and nothing smaller than .
ton would have taken 1t. u

SKIMMILK PAINT.
A Cheap, Quick Drying Coating That
Will Wear Well.

A Cheap, Quick Drying Coating That
Will Wear Well.
The following formula for making
skimmilk paint will be of interest to
all who desire cheap paint that will
wear well: ,<
I Stir into gallon Of skimmilk three
pounds of portland cement, adding at
the same time any paint. in dry form
that will give the color you desire. The
milk will hold the paint in suspension,
but the cement, being heavy, will sink;
therefore it will be necessary to keep
the mixture well stirred with a pad
die. Mix only enough at a time for
one days use. If the mixture is not
thoroughly stirred as you use it, it will
get thicker and thicker and it will be
necessary to thin it by adding more
milk. Six hours after applying this
paint it will be dry. 1t is not affected
by weather.
Carbolic acid or any other disinfect-
ant can be added, thus making it very
effective for use in poultry houses and
the stable. 1t makes an excellent
paint for fences when colored drab by
the addition of little lampblack or a
dull green by adding ocher and small
quantity Of prussian blue.-E. B. Rex
ford in Outing Magazine.

Weather Forecasts.

The first attempt at scientific fore
casting Of the weather was the result
of storm which during the Crimean
war, Nov. IA, 1854, almost destroyed
the fleets of France and England. AS
a storm had ragged several days earlier
in France, Valiant, the French min
lister of war, directed that investiga-
tons be made to see if the two storms
were the same and If the progress Of
the disturbances could have been fore
told. 1t was demonstrated that the
two were in reality one storm and that
its path could have been ascertained
and the fleet forewarned in ample time
to reach safety.
