Maid In ireland Held to Be
Binding in Law.

Dublin.-Justice Kenney recently
delivered judgment in the midnight
marriage case" of USHER and USHER,
which came before him in December
last.
The plaintiff, William Arland U.s.
sher, gentleman farmer of Eastwell,
Galway, sought to obtain a decree Of
nullity of his marriage with his wife,
Mrs. Mary usher. The petition was
dismissed.
He alleged that the marriage was
null and void owing to the fact that
only one witness was present and that
the marriage was not carried out &C.
cording to the rites and ceremonies
of the Roman Catholic church or ac-
cording to law.
The evidence showed that the mar
riage took place on April "a, 1910. Up
to that time the petitioner had been
Protestant, while the respondent,
Mary Caulfield, was maid in the en-
ployment of his mother After 10 p.
m. on April "a the parish priest, the
Rev. Joseph Fahy, went secretly to
the house and was taken upstairs to
bedroom.
There he received Mr.. USHER into
the Roman Catholic church, baptized
him, and then performed the marriage
ceremony between Mr.. USHER and
Mary Caulfeld. The marriage was
kept a secret and child was born in
January, 1911.
Justice Kenny held that the mar
riage was valid. His lordship said il

England Plans to Plant BeetS on
Large Scale.
Encouraging Results From Expert
ments Made by British Farmers
viii Give Industry Thorough
Trial This Year.

London.-A serious attempt is now
IN progress to make England a sugar
producing country. When the Ques-
ton of home grown sugar beets was
first brought up seriously some IA
years ago the sugar bounties were I'M
doubtedly one of the chief reasons
that discouraged the idea. The
British farmer, HIoreover, is very con-
sentative, and initiate years financiers
have been more wary than before Of
home industries, especially If of an ex-
perimental nature.
But now both farmers and finan-
ciers have decided to give the indus.
try a thorough trial. This year about
$500 acres between Yarmouth and
Norwich have been planted with SUI
gar beets. A factory for the manu-
facture of sugar is being erected near
Cantley station, Norfolk, in the middle
of the district, and preliminary en-
gagements have been made for the
building of two other factories.
Experiments in sugar beet growing
were carried out last year under the

year under the direction of Prof. HI
ram Bingham of Yale, will not be geo.

largely in that region where the hu-

ton of geographical research and pros
pective new discoveries of human rel

age of man in South America. In con-
nection with this investigation there
will also be research in architectural
remains of the Incas civilization and

suction digger of her type in the
world, began operations in the harbor
in pumping material that is to be used
