ADVISES POETS NOT TO WE'D.

Paris, Oct. 1G.-Poets and artists
should not marry Marriage is bene-
fetal to poets, but bad for their fam
lies
In this way Mrs. Richard LaGalli-
enne. who is suing in the New York
courts for divorce from her poetic
husband, explained the philosophical
reasons why 1t was impossible for her
to live with the poet. She is now
struggling to make a living as a mil
liner in a quiet quarter of Paris.
Drawing together the curtains separ-
ating the shop from the salon. she
began:
Il have read the lives of the great
poets, and find practically all were
unable to attain domesticity. | don't I
know why; but it seems to be a
working law beyond human power.
Any woman is foolish to marry a
poet; but she will not discover the
fact until it is too late. Richard is
a charming fellow. He never bored
me five minutes, and that is lots TO
say of man.
Did LeGallienne find :hat home
interfered with his poetry" asked
the correspondent.
"On the contrary" was the .'eply,
"he admits that he did his best work
when our homes were together. He
did not write five lines without con-
sulting me. Since our separation he
has merely drifted and has performed
no serious work"
'Then, why the separation"
Poetic temperament" answered
Mrs. LeGallienne, Struggling her
shoulders, seems to need frequent
change No poet can remain long
married to the same woman"

Browning had the bourgeois or
peasant character; and, after ALL it
is the bourgeois folk who keep the

SUIT CASE GONE

Chief Of Police Welch is IN receipt

suit case which it is claimed IVES
taken from a d. & r. C. train Sept
18th between Salida and Grand juno

The owner declares that his name
was painted on the suit case in clear
letters so that Identification should
be easy.
Mr.. Lowrey writes that he is in
formed that a man by the name of
Charles c. Rhodes, of Grand juno
tion, picked up the suit case, either
by mistake or design and disappeared
with it. He also says that Rhodes
has relatives here by the name of
Welch.
The police department has not been
able to locate either the man named
or the suit case, but will continue the

STORY STAR1LES LIVERPOOL
Cotton Valued at $2,5oo,o0o Involved
in the Alleged Fraud.

Liverpool.-Thcrc was II sensation in
Cottonopils Friday, born of widely cir
cuIated statements that forged bills of
lading for cotton purporting to have
been shipped from the United States had
been uncovered. The alleged fraudulent
metllolds, it was said, involved cotton
valued at $ 100000, and in addition to
thirty Liverpool concerns, it was stated
that several continental cotton houses
were heavy losers.
The Echo says that the method of
using the alleged false bills of lading was
to append fac-simile carriers signatures
to bills of lading sent with drafts to
this side before the cotton was delivered
BY carriers and that importers in many
rases paid such drafts. When the prac-
tice was discovered the steamship COM
panies withheld deliveries until the bills.
of lading were verified. The Echo says
that an investigation made by importers
shows that not only were a number of
these bills of lading spurious, but that
there was actually no cotton against
some of them.
Sensational reports of the failure of
the Alabama cotton firm Of Knight,
Yancey & Co., which heavily hit Liver
pool cotton houses, added to the excite.
ment.

FORTY ENT0MBED IN NINE
Flames Shot at Great Height From the
Shaft.

Birmingham. Ala.-Of the forty men
antombed in the Mulga mine of the Dir
mingham Coal and Iron Company, at
Mulga, Ala. about twelve miles north
west OF this city, by an explosion at 9
o'clock. it is believed that all are dead.
The cages in the shaft of the mine were
so badly sprung by the force Of the ex.
plosion that they are useless, and all
other means adopted by rescue parties in
an effort to reach the entombed men
have proven futile.
There are fifteen white and twenty-five
,egro laborers i'll the mine. The foreman
of the working gang, who is entombed
with the others, has the only list of the
men working at the time, but it is be-
lieved that only forty men were in the
gang.
Following the explosion flames shot up
the shaft of the mine for a distance of
about 400 feet, and the ground is COW
cred with clarred timbers around the
mouth of the shaft. which were blown tip
from the bottom of a 350-fOot shaft by
the force of the explosion. Every win
dow in the little mining village was
broken by the explosion.

Atlanta, Ga.-The present investiga'

Charles S. Barrett, president Of the Ma

the activity of the department of justice

Mr.. Barrett said:

Quick Justice.

New York.-Albert Woltcr. degener.
ate youth of 10 years, who was ''crazy'

chair for the murder of Ruth Wheeler,
a pretty tifteen-year-old stenographer.
After only one hour and fifty minutes
of deIiberation, a jury in the court of
special sessions, found him guilty of
murder in the first degree, bringing to a
close a trial marked by its swift move
ment and its testimony of horror.
The boys counsel said with eloqueace
that Wolter was "too tender-hearted to
harm a cat" but twelve men decided
that he had %strangled Ruth Wheeler and
thrust her while yet alive in his fire.

crumpled body writhed and burned.
With the same wax-faced indifference
that he had shown throughout the trial,
Woltcr evinced no emotion when the yer.

human complacency he had been asleep
in his cell, and sleeping soundly while
the jury was celebrating on his fate.
The jurymen themselves showed emo

Baton ROuge.-The fact that the

to Fred Grace, Register of the State

ton that if the land offices at Match
