McCURDY FALLS INTO THE SEA
Aviator Uninjurcd--Lucl< of Imbricat.
ing OIL Prevented Reaching Havana,

Havana, Jan. 30.--The lack Of lu-
bricating oil alone prevented Aviator
J. a. ID. McCurdy from finishing his
record-breaking sail from Key West,
Fla. to this place to-day, and despite
fate and accident the man-bird sailed
within ten miles OF Havana. when he
fell into the sea, to be quickly res
cued by one Of the boats OF the tor
pedo destroyer squadron that had
dashed after him.
McCurdy. on board the Pauling, of
the torpedo destroyer fleet. with his
aeroDlane on deck. arrived here
shortly after noon, none the worse for
his trip, except the disappointment Of
his luck having deserted him when
victory was in sight. He was not at
all injured by his fall into the sea
and the aeroplane, Curtiss biplane,
was not damaged, as the pontoons it
carried prevented any injury.
The daring aviator said that the
lack of lubricating oil alone caused
him to give up the journey. The
majority Of the 102-mile voyage had
been made without any mishap what
ever. He was picked up by boats ten
miles from the Havana shore.

AFTER GIItI. WITH, SHOTGUN.
Man and Woman Resent Whipping
of Son at School.
(The State, 31st. }

Saluda, Jan. 30.--Warrants have
been issued against Pope b. Havird
and his wife by the trustees OF the
school OF the Havirdsville communi-
ty charging them with assault and
battery upon Miss Carrie Mitchell,
their teacher, and likewise for as
sault and battery on Willie Harmon,
one Of the pupils of the school.
Whipped Havird Boy.
The teacher has been having trou-
bic with one Of Havird's boys in the
school, and Friday it became neces-
sary to whip him. The boy, who is
about 13 years old, resisted, and
Miss Mitchell, who is young and deli
cate, called upon the Harmon boy to
hold young Havird. After school
was dismissed the Havird boy ran
home and told his father and mo-
ther of the whipping. Havird got in
his buggy with his wife, and taking
his double-barrel shotgun set out af-
ter the teacher, who was on her way
home. Overtaking her, it is said,
llavird tried to drive over her and
cursed and abused her most outrag-
eously. Havird's wife, it is said
struck Miss Mitchell with a stick and
otherwise maltreated her. Havird
likewise cuffed the Harmon boy
about rather roughly.
Indignation is Great.
1t IS said that Miss Mitchell was
greatly frightened and for little
while was on the verge of COM
plete collapse. Miss Mitchell Is an
orphan. She is regarded as a most
excellent young lady.
The community was greatly in
cansed whom the news Of Havird s
conduct was learned, but cool coun-
sci prevailed and it was decided to
let the law take it's course. Some
people strongly advocated cow-hid-
ing Havird.
At meeting of the trustees Hav-
lrd's son was expelled.
Pope Havird has caused untold
trouble and annoyance to the people
or that community for the past ten
years or more.

new CATHOLIC
MARRIAGE DECREE
Question as to Legality of Marriages
Between Professionals and Catho-
lies Raised.

London, March 20.-The question of
whether marriages between Protest
ants and Roman Catholics can be con-
sidered absolutely legal has now
reached an acute stage, especially in
Ireland, where such cases are very nu-
merous. The archbishops and bishops
of Ireland, in a communication to the
clergy, have asked them to call the at
tention of members of the church of |
Ireland and all Protestants to the
points which indicate dangers arising |
from the new marriage legislation of
the Roman Catholic church. These
were outlined yesterday by Bishop
Donnelly, as follows:
81. A promise of marriage made by
Roman Catholic is not now binding
unless it be in writing and signed by
both parties and by the Roman Catho-
lie parish priest or two witnesses.
o. A promise of marriage, even if
signed and witnessed is not now bind
ing unless the parties are willing to be
married by Roman Catholic priest
and on the conditions which the Ro-
man church lays down.
"3. A Roman Catholic cannot be
validity married unless the ceremony
be performed by Roman Catholic
priest and in accordance with the rules
of the Roman Catholic church.
Thus, a Roman Catholic married to
a Protestant by a Protestant clergy
man, or in a civil registrars office
now is told by the Roman Catholic
church that the union is not marriage
at all, and that the children the lille

SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
HAIR.

There Is nothing new about the idea
Of using sage for restoring the color
Of the hair. Our great-grandmothers
kept their locks soft, dark and glossy
by using a "sage tea" Whenever
their hair fell out or took on dull,
faded or streaked appearance, they
made brew of sage leaves and ap-
piled it to their hair with wonderful
" beneficial effect.
Nowadays We don't have to resort
to the old-time, tiresome method OF
gathering the herbs and making the
brew. This is done by skillful chem
lists better than we could do it our
selves, and all we have to do is to call
for the ready-made product. Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, con-
tanning sage in the proper strength,
with the addition of sulphur, another
old-tfme scalp remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded IL it fails to do exactly as
represented. .,
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
recommended and sold by
