Tom Browne. the celebrated English

saw he drew, and his genius made It

at Nottingham for a couple Of terms,
and 1t was a good school In its way.

One night Tom, securing the neigh

WEDDINGS OF 400"
ARE SCORED BY PREACHER AS
coUNTRY's DISGRACE.
Professor Of Theology Wants Law to
Forbid Such candaIs-GouId-Dec
and Other Alliances Held Up
as Examples.

Cambridge, Mass.-Dr. Henry s.
Nash, professor in the Episcopal Theo-
logical school in this city, believes
that restrictions should be placed on
marriages and that the divorce laws
OF this country should be uniform.
Doctor Nash quotes four alliances
which he says are disgrace to any
community, and which unions, he
claims, indicate a political condition
pointing to anarchy. Concerning these
alliances Doctor Nash says:
THE Eames-Gogorza swap is an ex-
ample OF the deplorable matrimonial
triangle in which 1t is to be presumed
that well-paid husband agrees to
wink at his wife's escapades with an.
other man.
"The Gould-Decies alliance Is moth,
ing but marriage bureau contract.
Gould has been called man of sense.
but this Is bargain which believe
never ought to be tolerated or recog-
nized by society. There ought to be
laws against such marriages as this
one. The reported Chanler-Cavalieri
case is too repellant to be dwelt upon.
"The reported Vanderbilt
trade is case where America has ap-
parently been aping the worst GUS
toms of the decadent aristocracy Of
Europe. There are similar cases to
be seen among the petty nobility
abroad. A necessary factor in the
solution of such marriage problems is
divorce. Divorce is an institution
wherein this country excels European
countries. Our divorce system is not
by any means perfect, but 1t Is prefer
able to the European evil. If the law
should make 1t impossible to get a
divorce this country would soon be In
a worse predicament than 1t is at pres
ent. Marriages such as these are the
result of Americans aping the decadent
customs of Europe. There is in this
country today perfectly organized
marriage bureau whereby European
lordlings are enabled to barter titles
often bad ones-for American girls
and American money"
Doctor Nash says that the remedy
lies in the proper rearing Of the chill
dren, in the salvation of politics by
men worthy to hold political positions,
and by the patriotic adherence to the
dogma of liberty, equality and frater-
nifty.

"DEKE" DOG IN A CHURCH
Pastor Was Not Bulldog-matic, but the
Canine Was Hurrledly
Put Out.

Greencastle, indian Incident 90.
CURED recently in one Of the churches
of this city that amused the congre-
cation, If not the pastor. A large
white bulldog belonging to the Deke
fraternity house, DePauw university,
entered the church and for several
minutes during the opening services
1t walked up and down the aisles, evil

fraternity. Soon the dog saw Ray
mond jackson, Deke. Mr.. Jackson
is also member of the choir, and the
dog hurried up to the place where the
choir was singing.
The attention of the entire congre,
cation had by this time become at.
tracted to the dog which stood in
front of Mr.. Jackson, wagging its
tail as If approving the singing of its
friend
Finally the pastor remarked that
dogs were not allowed in the church,
and said:
'I am not dogmaic, and especially
bulldog-matic, but wish some one
would be dogmatic enough to take
that dog out"
Mr.. Jackson, although embarrassed,
grasped the dog by the collar and the
two disappeared out back door. The
services then continued without dis

FIohtIna Waves with Water.

Berlin.-The latest idea for con,
trolling the rolling of ships in high
seas is to balance the vessel by means
of large bodies Of water carried in in
geniously arranged tanks. These com.

the port side through the hold and
up the starboard SIDE The water is
controlled by special device for bal.
ancing the upward swing of the ship.
The new device has passed its expert
mental stage. An actual test has been
made on the liners Ypiranga and
Corcavado of the Hamburg-America
line in the Buenos Ayres service. 1t
was found, in an actual test, that
vessel which would roll as high as II
degrees under ordinary conditions
can be controlled to two degrees mo-

VIM. Blum Painfully Injured.

1t is with sincere regret that we chroni-
Gle the severe accident which befell our
fellow townsman and near neighbor
William f. Blum last Thursday. While
shoeing a horse belonging to George
Brady of Starr, the animal stepped upon
Mr.. Bum's left ankle throwing him for
ward to the floor, and in another step the
horse set his foot upon Mr.. Blum's lett
arm breaking the bone about midway be-
tween the shoulder and elbow in such
manner as to almost permit of the bones
protruding through the flesh or muscle.
DR., Bovard was summoned and reduced
the fracture and on the following day DR..
Siggins of Oil City was called In consulta-
ton and it was deemed best to encase the
injured member in plaster cast in order
to hold it in place. Although suffering
severely from pain Mr.. Blum is doing
well and keeping as cheerful as could be
expected under the trying ordeal, and
hopes TO be able in a few days to leave
his bed but it will doubtless be many
weeks before he eau resume his usual
avocatian. The horse is not one of the
vicious kind, in fact rather Of the docle
sort, so that the accident was entirely un-
avoidable-the kind that happens when

A Peculiar Accident.


A peculiar incident occurred in connec-
ton with an accident to Earl Jennings at
West Hickory Thursday night. The
young man, who is clerk to Supervisor
Hillisrd, had gone to West Hickory with
one of the P. r. r. policeman to investi-
gate trouble with switch lights. When
the train from Olean approached Jen-
nings started for the station but mistook
the south bound track for the northbound
with the result that unconsciously he was
disputing theright of way with the on
coming train. He was struck on the
shoulder by the pilot and tossed over the
bank, his shoulder being broken.
When the alarm was given his police
man companion and members ofthe crew
secured lanterns and began TO search the
river bank for him but he could not be
found. He had been knocked down at
the front end of the train and by the time
the train stopped he was near the rear end.
He climbed aboard and took seat in the
ladies coach, not realizing that he was
clsssed as missing. A woman passenger
seeing the lights in the dark asked a
trainman what was wrong aud was told.
II guess he's in here" she said,
"there's young man with his head all
cut up on this car"

Forest Gas Co. Finds Good Well.

The Forest Gas Company of Tidioute
drilled in a fine oil we'll on the Lacy
lands, near Golinza, Green township,
last Thursday. 1t is located on Scipio
run, warrant No. 5503, and is about sOG
feet south of the previous developments
by this company. The company has
large number of good paying oil wells
on the lease, the oil being found in a
stray sand The new we'll differs from
these in that the pay streak was devel-
oped in the fourth sand. While the we'll
was being drilled through the sand it be-
gan to flow, throwing out about 100 bar
rels of oil. The well has not been shot
and was put to pumping Monday after
noon. In eighteen hours 1t put fifty bar
rels of oil in the tank, which would indi-
cate that the company has opened up an
exceptionally rich pool. A great deal of
interest has been created by this new
strike. This company has large acreage
under lease, covering about everything
in that section.
