brought TO a sudden end yesterday after

the marriage was not legal, because her
divorce from the husband OF her girl

With the announcement Of Justice

given 20 the three-eornered nght over
the dead mans estate. in which the
parties were Mrs. Goodman. the execu-
tors Of the VIII, and Philadelphia rela-

The design which the winner, Gui-

the ornamental, typical of the later

of the semi-circular arch erected be-

The statue is allegorical, representing
the two forces in civic life which
played so important a part in Mexican
history, oratory and poetry. A large
space is left within the semi-circle
around the pedestal of the monument
and the surface is sloping, consisting
of moderate steps, so that the place
will be suitable for holding exercises
and other civic ceremonies in honor
of the great Benito Juarez. The mon
