Maloney finally located them in Eur
ope and brought his daughter back
home. In the meantime the discovery
was made that Miss Maloney had gone
through marriage ceremony with
Arthur Herbert Osborn of New York.
who was then student at Princeton
university. The ceremony uniting Miss
Maloney and Mr.. Osborn was performed
by Justice of the Peace Boyd at Ma
maroneck, N. Y, on December %, 1905.
Miss Maloney took the name of Helen
Eugene of Pittsburg, and Mr.. Osborn
used the name of Herbert Ogden of
Pittsburg.
All of this made a newspaper sensa-
ton when it became known but the
MalOney family maintained silence. 1t
was known, however. that Mr.. Ma
loney, who had been highly honored by
Pope Leo XIII, who conferred upon him
the title of Marquis, took up the ques
ton of the annulment of the marriage,
both at Rome and at the archdiocese
OF the Catholic church in this city.
, Finally action was begun in the New
York courts looking to the annulment
of Miss Maloney's marriage to Osborn.
The annulment was granted on the
ground that they had never lived to-
in her own behalf Mr.. Osborn putting
up only a passive defense. Miss Maloney
testified that she never considered that
the marriage Joined her and Mr.. Os-
born together as man and wife and that
she Went through the ceremony as a
precautionary measure to save herself
from the attentions of titled foreigners
who were regarded favoraby by Miss
Maloneys parents.

OWED ENEMIES MUCH.
Darwin and Lincoln Discussed by
Princeton Professor.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-"Darwin and Lin
ooln both owed much to their enemies
Attacks maye by these enemies were so
saturated with venom, so filed with
radicalism and so lacking in calm, dis
passionate judgment that the simple
patient, honest greatness of these two
nineteenth century searchers after
truth stood forth in remarkable con-
trast"
This tribute to the father of the
theory of evolution was expressed by
Prof. e. G. Conklin of Princeton uni
versity in an address.
"Darwin's establishment of the
theory of evolution is the greatest in
tellectual achievement of the nine
teenth century, said Prof. ConkIin
His collections of facts on the subject
are the admiration of the students of
the world He overthrow the doctrine
of the special creation of species
"All men are Interested in theology
and politics. Fifty years ago it was
difficult for men to realize that they
could be descended from animal crea-
tons and yet be the sons of God
Darwin ranks with Sir Isaac New
ton, beside whose body his lies in
Westminster Abbey. His work is of
lasting value. 1t never can be forgot
ten. His equal as a scientist can never
be expected of the future"

Nothing remains to be settled in the
franchise but three questions" said he,
land those questions should be solved
and answered by the end of this week
Then the franchise will be put before
the people for their ratification. After
that, after the public has shown it's de-
