HOLDUPS SANE NIGHT
Man in Island Park, and One Near ST.
Luke's Hospital, Relieved
of Money.

Two men who did not give THEM
names were held up and robbed We'd
nesday night, one In Island park. and
the other near st. Luke's hospital. It
is thought that the same men perpe-
trated both robberies, as the descrip-
tons given by their victims tally. No
clue to the robbers mas been found.
In each instance the victims were
approached by two men, one tall and
the other short. The tall man held a.
big revolver under the nose of the
victim, while the little man stood be-
hind him, and went through his pock-
cts. In one case the robbers got 80
cents, in the other instance they got
a few dollars and a watch. They ex-
amined the watch and returned it.

DELIVERED ADDRESS THIS
MORNING TO FARGO COLLEGE
STUDENTS DURING CoNVocA-
TON HOUR.

Rev. l.. w. Porter Of the Christian
church Of this city spoke to the
students OF Fargo college in chapel
this morning.
Rev. Mr.. Porter Is a graduate Of
Manchester college, in the same class
as Allen Brown, a former Fargo boy.
1t was an interesting fact for the
students to know that before them
stood the old Manchester rooter-king.
He intirnated that his former recep-
tons at the hands of the Fargo COL
lege students had not been so cordial,
in the days when he led the yells.
The speaker left a very good
thought for the students in the nature
of a suggestion for the investment
of their lives.
"Four years, invested in college. will
bring returns to the man to the ex-
tent of SO a day for the rest Of his
professional life. From a cold-hard
cash basis, it is worth while" said the

Christ was the greatest failure in
history if present gains are consider

What does motherhood mean, il
present joys are the standard. Do
not the development Of the child into

The investments we make Of our

New York, May Twenty
blushing brides ran down the gang
plank of the steamer California yes
terday into the arms of twenty Gag

until the immigration authorities
found that eight of the girls did not
have papers to prove their identity

unless they were married first at Ell
lis Island, the immigration detention
station.
When the other twelve heard this
they said they would all stand to-
gether, and the twenty couples left
for the island to find a clergyman.
The prospective brides came from
Scotland and Ireland and the immi-
grafton authorities said they were
the prettiest as we'll as the largest
company that ever came here to be
married

Child Awarded Damages.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 6.-Foster
parents may administer corporal
punishment to children, but if that
punishment is excessively brutal
the child may recover damages.
That was the tenor of decision by
the Kansas City court Of appeals
yesterday. Lucille Dix, II years old,
was suing Elizabeth Martin, farm
er's wife of Cooper county, Mo. The
case came to the court here on ap-
peal.
Lucille lived with her grandpar-
ents. She went to the Martins to
spend the summer. Mrs. Martin, the
testimony showed, beat her so Sc
verely that the child's back did not
heal for several weeks. Mrs. Martin
raised the defense that she was act
ing as a "foster parent for the
child.
Judge Johnson. who wrote the
opinion in the case, held that even
granting that she was foster par
ent' the child was entitled to the
$1,000 verdict on account Of the eX-
cessive brutality of the whipping.
