AGED 35, is MOTHER OF 10.
And Being SO Young, Mrs. Kelley
Hopes For Many More.

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Anna
Kelly, who is thirty-fve years old, but
is the mother of nineteen children,
was held by Coroner Ford, so that he
might investigate the charge that she
had caused the death Of her mime
teenth child through neglect and star
walton. She entered the plea that so
long as she is the mother of nineteen
children she should not be prosecuted.
"And. Coroner Ford she continued,
81 am but thirty-five years old, and be-
fore l die I expect to have many more
children"
Her story was verified. She was
married when twenty years old and
has had a child every year since. In
four cases there were twins. Her hus-
band drives for a local department
store. OF the nineteen children, four
teen are dead, and the woman has al
lowed other persons to adopt the five
living.

KAISER FOR ABSTINENCE.
Says Lightest Drinkers Will March
Ahead in Peace and War.

Flensburg, Prussia, Nov. 22.-ln
opening the new naval academy at
Muerwick yesterday Emperor William
read IN order in council lying stress
upon the qualifications necessary to
naval officers. and made a plea for
temperance on the part of the cadets.
The times. he said, required iron-heart
ed men. Character was the first es-
sential and character was founded
upon strong moral and religious con-
victions.
The Emperor cautioned the cadets
against excessive drinking. which, he
said, undermined the nerves, and the
strenuous naval service of today re-
quired strong nerves. He ~counseled
total abstinence, suggested that the
young men join the Good Templars,
and added that the nation which in the
future used the smallest amount of
alcohol would march at the head OF
the column ON the fields of art and
war.

ABOUT RABBITS.
Game Warden Says Bunny is Not a
Game Animal,

There seems to be much dispute
throughout the State as to whether or
rot rabbits can be bought and sold
and also whether or not they cam be
transported out of the State.
The rabbit is not protected under
the law, except in the counties of
Brooke. Hancock, Ohio. Marshall, Har-
rison and Marion, between the goth
day OF December and the LIST day of
November. following. Neither is the
rabbit considered a game animal, un-
der our law, and may be bought and
sold, or shipped out of the State.
