So the Court Indefinitely Postponed the
Guggenheim Hearing.

Chicago Oct. 22.-The suit seeking an
nulment of the divorce granted Grace
B. Guggenheim from William Guggen-
helm eight years ago. in Chicago came
to an abrupt close here when Judge
Honore indefinitely postponed the hear
ing.
When Judge Dunno in 1901 granted
the divorce the testimony Of Mrs.
Guggenheim, showed that she was a
resident of Illinois, Mrs. Guggenheim
claims recently to have discovered that
her testimony was in error on this
point. The matter was laid before Mr..
Dunno, who Is no longer on the bench,
ard he. declaring that fraud had been
practiced on the court filed a petition
for the annulment of the divorce.
The case was unique. Not a prece-
dent was to be found. The question
whether Judge Honore had jurisdiction
was as far from solution as ever, and
the courts .'indefnite postponement"
order was taken as way out of the
difficulty.
Judge Honore stated that Mrs. Gug-
genheim's only remaining recourse is
to file a bill herself alleging that she
obtained Ter divorce by fraud.

Fall of Observation-Disclosures
quillity in Spain.
King Alfonso Regrets Failure
to Pardon Ferrer.
CLERICAL INFLUENCE,
Is Believed to Be Doomed i'm the
Kingdom.
Liberal Papers Are Rejoicing
Over the Situation.

Madrid. Oct. 22.-The fall of
Premier Maura and the conservative
caDlnet mas produced feeling of re-
lief and encourages the hopes that a
period of International tranquility has
peen ushered in. 1t is now an open
secret that Maura's refusal to give
King Alfonso an opportunity to par
don Ferrer is regretted by his
majesty.
Most cf the Republican senators
and deputies express themselves as
satisfied with the latest turn of
events particularly as they believe it
marks the end of clerical influence
with the government. One of these
said today:
'.The new cabinet contains elements
openly anti-clerica1 and thus it be-
comes possible to establish an anti
clerical policy so necessary to SPAIN
However, radical members of the
cortes like Deputy Serino, who is also
editor of EsDana Nueva, announce an
intention to fight the new ministry be-
cause of its alleged monarchical
tendencies They predict series of
swift changes bringing about a situa-
ton like that which began with the
insurrection in the fleet in 1868. and
eliminated in 1873. with the
abdication of King Amedeus and the
establishment of a short-lived re-
public.
The liberal papers are filled today
with rejoicings over what they term
the end of the tyrannica1 rule of
Maura. The Ell Pals. a republican
organ, demands the passage of anti
clerical laws similar to those OF
France.
Announcement was made today OF
the appointment of the Duke of Covar
as governor of Madrid and SenOI
Aguilera as mayor.

Says Governor.

Manual Training Normal Friday The

large crowd of visitors. The governor

to seek practical education in house
keeping and attributed one-fourth of

of household duties.
Others who spoke were Representa-
tive Campbell, Senator Porter and

from Miami county, who made inter-
esting talks along educational lines.

All Money Not Good For Paying

by the Treasury Department, it be-

of view as legal tender Some of the
most imposing of this paper currency
is not legal tender at all, while as to
the minor coins they are legal tender in
such small amounts as to startle the
average layman. 1t may be well to re-
call to this layman that the term, le-

fact that in payment of debt or obliga-

THE OLD BLACK NANNY

RECEIVES GREENBACKs.

Strictly speaking, the United States
notes or greenbacks are legal tender,
with the exception of duties ON imports
and interest on the public debt Prac-
tically, however, since the resumption
of specie payment in 1879, greenbacks
have been received freely and without
question by the Government, though
the law respecting them has not been
changed.
While the gold and silver certificates
are not legal tender as between individ-
uals, both issues are receivable for all
Government dues of whatever kind, in
this respect legally more acceptable than
are the greenbacks.
National bank notes, while not legal
tender and not receivable for duties on
imports, still may be paid by the Gov
eminent for salaries and all debts of
the Government except interest dues
and in redemption of the national cur
rency.
By special enactment no foreign coin
of any kind or denomination shall be
legal tender in the United States, SO
