Among the many strange privileges
granted by English sovcreigns TO their

was the permission given 10 the Earl

earl was a victim Of colds In the head.
which. .sse the law. are no respecters

pay for loyalty he petitioned the
queen for permission TO wear his
nightcap In her presence.
The patent conceding this unique
privilege Is one Of the most amusing
IN royal annals. II runs thus: "know

trusty cousin and counselor. Henry.

dn the Hains trial, there appeared a new defence on a charge of murder. viz, impulsive insanity; in the suit of Mrs. deGorgoza against Prima Donna Emma Eames for s50,ooo for alienation of the affections of the noted baritone, Emile Gorgoza, the plaintiff alleges that he is the singers soul mate in the artistic sense and that this has destroyed his former love for his wife, but there is no charge, of immortality. This is an entirely new feature in such cases, as unique as the defence of ''im- pulsive insanity in the Hains trial.
 For several months several maga- zines have given much space to dis cussion of the "science of psychology" There is now to be practical illustra- tion of one of its possible principles, artistic affinity" in the Gorgoza- Flames case. with a judicial decision upon the merits if the court does not dodge the issue by finding some other decisive question.
 Of verity, the world is advancing. Legislative bodies must begin to enact laws punishing anger lest it lead to ''impulsive insanity with murder, and against that harmony in tone quality which begets artistic affinity and produces "soul mates in the artistic sense,'' lest it cause suits for divorce, alienation of directions etc.

GEORGE SMITH MEETS ALMOST
INSTANT DEATH MONDAY
Was En- Route to oeala to Assist His
son, Who Was Reported
in Trouble.


George Smith. a middIe-aged colored
man who was employed by Wade
Thomas OF Monteocha. was killed here
Monday at noon while attempting to
board the south-bound passenger
train Of the A. c. L. just of the
square.
From what could be learned II APP
pears that Smith had learned Of his
son being arrested at Ocala and
came here for the purpose Of getting
the money to 80 there and get him
out Of his trouble, when he met his
sudden death by being ground to
death under the wheels Of the cars.
Two coaches passed over the mans
legs and from his thighs down his
flesh resembIed mass Of sausage
meat, so badly cut and mangled was
HIS condition. and he lived only a few
minutes after the accident, never once
speaking to anyone.
Witnesses who claim to have seen
the accident state that the train had
passed and the darkey at first caught
the Pullman car to board the train,
but realizing he was In the wrong
place turned loose and ran further up
between the white coach and the
Pullman and attempted to get on the
train but someone standing on the
platform interfered, with his getting
aboard and in some manner his feet
were caught under the trucks, which |
quickly pulled him from his hold and |
he was ground beneath the wheels.
Sheriff Ramsey on learning of the
affair summoned Justice Carlisle, who
viewed the remains, but after hearing
some Of the evidence deemed that an
inquest was unnecessary and turned
he body over to Smiths wife and
other relatives who had come with
him to the city.
The darkey was said to be a good
nan and had worked for Mr.. Thomas
or quite awhile on his farm in the
donteocha section, but DESTROYS Of
pleasing his son from trouble had

The above is the second accident
esulting IN death that is known to
ave happened on this road here
