stronger proof than the word Of James
Boyle is offered to show that there is
a mystery connected with the death
of Daniel Feeble, jr.. which occurred
here fourteen years ago, there will be
no official Investigation of the story.
Dan Feeble, father of the dead man,
and the police and county officials are
unanimous in expressing the opinion
that Boyle's story is untrue.
Authorities believe that il the in
v~estigation made by Boyle's attorney
in connection with the %kidnapper story
was fruitless. they could accomplish
nothing by an inquiry.
At the time of Reeble's death Boyle
was employed in a plumbing shop ad-
joining the building from which Feeble
fell. The police express the opinion
that Boyle heard much about the death
in this shop and from his knowledge
of the accident built his story.

Feeble, junior, is secuted by the father.

Miller. defended Boyle, says there is
nothing to ~corroborate Boyle's state

Chief of Police Mcdowell, who con-
Quoted the examination at the time of
the death of Feeble, says the only evil
dence that might have led to the be-
lief hal Feeble came to his death by
foul play was committed in his room.
Several chairs and a stand were over

pect that Feeble might " been en-

MARIE ANNE, NOT MARIANNE.
How Compromise Satisfied French Law
and Child's Parents.

An amusing story of compromise is
mentioned in Paris contemporary, says
the London Globe. 1t seems that the
law of France requires parents to name
their children either after the saints in
the calendar or from a parsonage in his
tory. A citizen of Troyes went to the
register to inscribe the name of his little
daughter, whom he wished to be known
as Marianne.
The registrar adjusted his spectacles,
scratched his head and then declared ii
was impossible. Marianne did not com
ply with either the requirements. FL
nally the matter was arranged to the
satisfaction of both the parent and the
registrar. To the child was given the
name of Marie Anne. To the parents it
was almost what they wanted and the
law was satisfied.
