WANTED To MARRY
HIS FORMER WIFE
Curious Divorce Tang1e In Which Man
Had to Travel From Haiti to
France In Face of Diff
culties.

PARIS, May 2S.-A curious divorce
tangle has come UP before the Paris
courts.
A rich West Indian planter was
married in the island of Haiti, and
after a few years the couple were di-
vorced. 1t was not long, however, be-
fore a reconciliation between the ex-
husband and ex-wife took place, and
they decided to make it up by re-
marrying.
But it so happened that the law of
the country forbade the remarriage or
divorced couples. The only resource
was for them, as French citizens, to
have the ceremony performed at the
French legation.
query was sent to the French for
eign office by the diplomatic represen-
tative at Haiti asking if it were lawful
to do So The reply came that it would
be perfectly legal provided the couple
waited until the tenth month after their
divorce had elapsed, which is the law
in France.
The ex-husband was, it is alleged,
impatient on account of the difficult
ties in his way While waiting he had
a number of articles published in the
local papers attacking the laws of the
country, which were described as bar
barous.
The French minister thought it a
delicate matter under these circum-
stances. to celebrate the marriage at
the legation When the time came to
perform the ceremony he refused to
allow it to be performed, on the plea
that it would be discourtesy to the
government to which he was accred-
tied
The would be bridegroom of his for
mer wife had thus quite Unexpectedly
raised a sort of diplomatic incident. He
was told that the only solution was
for him and his bride to hasten to
France. where the wedding could take
place without difficulty.
They did so. But the beliggerent
husband took up arms once more and
desired to bring a suit for damages
against the minister who had refused
TO perform the ceremony and had
obliged him to go to all the expense Of
travelling to France to get married.
Administrative rules have fur
Their mixed the matter up. The
hero today finds that ne IS
suing the project OF the de-
partment of the Seine. who has refused
to appear, and has sent word that the
case is outside the jurisdiction Of the
ordinary courts, and could, at most, be
decided only by an administrative
council.

LADIES LOSE LONG
DRAWN OUT CONTEST
Three Hundred Enthusiastic Baseball
Fans Are Treated to Delicious
Connection Favored With
Lemon.

Three hundred erstWhile enthusiastic
baseball fans had the sensation of
| having their enjoyment Of the national
game slowly leave them yesterday af-
ternoon while witnessing what was
supposed to be ball game between a
bunch of ''cream puffs' from the effete
east and the Walla Walla team AS an
exhib ton of baseball the event was
about as void of excitement as it is
possible to imagine, and the fact must
also be considered that the females
were not~all females. Three travel
ing managers were called upon to
hold down bases, and that alone took
the gilt off the edge for those who were
drawn to the ball park more through
a desire to see the fair ones do the
rough and tumble stunts than through
any idea of witnessing a league-score
game
Someone said after the would-be
game that the score stood to in
favor of the home team, but as yet no
authority for the. st&Sement has been
found
The whole game from start to finish
was a farce. neither team seeming to
care enough about the game to even
try to play and to attempt to give the
score of the game by innings would
be a matter of utter impossibility
when even the official score keeper was
forced to give the matter up as a bad
job on account of the numerous err
rors made by both sides. But no one
expected to see a lot of girls play
baseball anyway

BIG GAMES ARE ON
IN HARVARD STADIUM
Harvard Crimson Prevails In the Seats
Around the Course, But Wise Ones
Say That Yale Is Sure to Win.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 28-Har-
ward Stadium is again resounding to
eehoing the exuItant cries of hun
dreds of athletes and their loyal fol-
lowers, reproducing in a modernized
stage setting and with a civilized We
neer the brave contests of the ancien,
gladiators of old Rome. Life and
death does not hang upon victory, as
in more barbarous days, but there
is nothing in the wild enthusiasm of
the spectators to indicate that any
thing of lesser worth is at stake.
Never before has the classic inter-
collegiate track and field champion
ship carnival attracted so much at
tention, and there have been few
years when doubt as to the outcome
was so prevalent. Today's events are
of a preliminary nature, and it will not
be until tomorrow's program is over
and done that the issue will be decided
and the championship awarded
AS a natural sequence of the loca-
ton of the meet, the Harvard crimson
is the prevailing color in the stadium,
and the Harvard yells drown all
turks no certainty of impending vic
tory. While it is difficult to pick and
choose among the more than 500 en-
trants in the various events, represent
ing the pick ana pink of American col
lege athletes. perhaps a majority of
the athletic experts believe that Har
wards old enemy, Yale, will succeed
in piling up the largest number OF
points.
The entrance of Tech and Bowdoin,
both of which have some strong ma
terial, into the lists promises a great
contest for points.
With the exception of the hammer
throw, which is being discouraged on
account of the danger to spectators,
the entries are we'll distributed.
While as yet the result of the meet
is matter of speculation, it is con-
ceded that Yale has a strong chance
of pulling the greatest number Of
points. Harvard and Pennsylvania are
strongly represented and will doubt
less give the Yale men a strong tus-
sic, but those who follow track athlet-
les say that the blue is in the lead.
Cornell, usually a factor in the games
has not been heard from to an extent
which would justify giving her much
of a show.
