men to remove the roof STom above or

The alien evidently felt that he had
inalienable rights, but he was too con-

pun. He pointed to the date of the ex-

very face Of the onward march Of
progress.
Contractor Schraven wasn't going to
be stopped by any Oriental with definite
ideas as TO prior rights or privileges ac-
corded by lease. Not he. He increased
his force and went to work with re-
newed energy. The brick walls were
reared and the wooden floors laid. The
knock Of the hammers beat an accom-
paniment to the work of the Chinese,
and while they labOred in the dingy
rooms three walls were built around the
fragment Of the adobe house. The
floors were built right up against the
walls Of the Chinaman's dOmicile, until

tipping and maintain the balance far
more evenly than it is maintained on
the coaches of the smoothest standard
road. At the test in England the car ran
around a circular track and on to switches
where sharp turns were required. TheO-
reucally it is impossible for the car to
leave the rails so long as the horoscopes
are in operation. Many practical rail-
road men have grave doubts whether
practice would confirm the theory in cru

Special to The Herald Republican,
New York, Dec. &c. NJ. MacNeill.
president Of the Utah Copper company,
when asked with reference to the suit

the company carried on.
Some of the underground develop

taken from the ledge Of Mr.. Wallis
claim"
Mr.. MaeNeil further stated that those
familiar with conditions had no diff
Guilty in explaining the appearance Of
the suit at the present time, and that it
was due to personal animus. He added
that Mr.. Wall sold all of his holdings
in the company at about One-half the
present quotations.
Il feel it my duty" said Mr. MacNeth
in conclusion, ''to make the above state
ment, so that no Utah shareholder viii
be led to believe that the interests Of
the company are in any way jeOpar-
died by such litigation"

per management the attention that they should. The majority of parents seldom or never visit the school, and know nothing about the conditions which may exist there. The writer is a persistent advocate of new public school here, and does not think that any one thing is more badly needed in Sharon at til" present time. This school house matter will be treated at more length in future issue.
 High School Played LakeVilIe
 John Wakeman's baseball nine, com posed of members of the Sharon high school, played theIr first game of the season with Lakeville at Lakeville Sat urday and were defeated, the score be- ing three to five ill favor of Lakeville. John says that his team gave really marvellous exhibition of fielding but as usual were little weak with the stick. Eggleston' pitching was first class, and Eagan at short stop played like veteran. But two errors were made by Sharon during the game. Not so bad for the first time. Below is the line up.

NEW GUINEA COURTSHTP.
All the Proposals of Marriage Are
 Made by Women.


 Made by Women.
 Away off in the strange island of New Guinea 1t is leap year all the time in one important sense, for out there all the proposals of marriage are made by the women. It Is consid- cred beneath the dignity of the male inhabitants of New Guinea to even notice a woman, and consequently the women perforces must notice the men and must start any idea of weddings, etc.
 So when the island belle of New Guinea becomes in love she promptly sends q piece of string to the sister of the lucky man. If he has no sister she sends it to his mother or to some female relatiye-this because the man and his male relatives are assumed to be above taking any steps toward acquiring a wife.
 Then the sister says to the man in volved: Brother, 1 have news. SO- and-so is in love with you" If in- clined to matrimony the man makes an engagement to meet the enamored lady. When they meet it is alone, and they either decide to wed or drop the entire proposition at once. There Is no courting. for the man Is not al- lowed, theoretically at least, to waste any time on Il wOman-not even enough time to make love to the lady or to allow her to make love to him.
 The betrothal Is announced, and the engaged man in New Guinea Is brand ed on the back with charcoal but the woman's mark of engagement to wed is actually cut into her skin and is never allowed to completely vanish. If either one decides to break the en- gagement nothing can be done by the offended party.
 If the girl decides that, after all, she sent the little piece of string by mis- take the man is apt, however, to catch her some time alone and beat her If the man jilts the woman her relatives often hunt him up and administer a sound drubbing. Blood, however, is seldom shed, as the breaking of these women made engagements is not deem ed a very serious matter.
 Though the women propose the we'd dings in New Guinea, the condition of the wife is miserable and unjust in the extreme. The girl is merely the property and slave of the husband. He can beat her unrebuked and even kill her with impunity if she incurs his enmity.-Atlanta Constitution.

 You are Welcome, MT. City Man
 Do you wonder that Sharon seems all ideal place to the city dweller? It is just the right distance from the station, has no railroads or trolleys or manu- factories, belching forth clouds of smoke. and is surely an arcadia for those desir- ing rest and quiet. (Especially quiet.) The city guests always arrive with expressions of delight, and always depart with regret. Sharon has beauti- ful views, attractive drives, and high attitudes. A perfect water and sewage system. And telegraphs and telephones and tell-a homes etc. so that we are always in close touch with the outside and inside world. Cease for a period, MT. City Man, your chase of the almighty dollar, and come and see us. Drink of our water company s life giving fluid, breathe of our unfltered air, play golf on our unrivalled links, and ariae each day with your eyes bright and your nerve as steady as the political course of T. Roosevelt. Do this for your own sake and ours. We need you, and i'll the season you should not murmur if our anxiety for your welfare leads us to be too attentive. For ill the Winter, Oh! city dweller our only sport is the pursuit of the elusive jack-rabbit.

INSANITY PLEA
In ELLIS TRIAL

Little Rock. Ark, December 3.-An of
in the trial of w. Y. Ellis. who is charged
with killing N p. Willis of Indianapolis.
in local court room last summer Lewis
Rhoton, opening for the state; j. w. Wal
ker for the defense, and James A. Gray.
continuing for the defense, spoke today.
The arguments viii be concluded tofnor-
row and the case will probably be given
to the jury late in the afternoon.
The argument of the instructions was
taken up this morning and to the con-
tentions of the state and defense relative
TO instructions as to the degree of the
crime, and as to the plea of insanity and
expert testimony, proved so far at vari-
ance that two hours and a half were
consumed fighting out the question. The
defense were successful in securing the
instruction of insanity but the prose-
cution obtained a ruling on expert tes-
timony which gives 1t an opportunity
to attack the hypothetical question. The
court also ruled for the state in instruct
ing the jury that it could find the de-
fendant guilty of either first or second
degree murder, voluntary manslaughter
or acquit him.
The attorneys for the state attacked
the claim that Ellis was insane when he
killed Willis, and claimed instead that
he was more in a rage. Hence it is ex-
pected the state will call for verdict
of murder in the second degree and not
for death by hanging The argument of
the defense was based on the declaration
that Ellis was insane and also on the un-
written law.
