MAN BEFORE The MOOSE
England Stirred Up Over Re.
fuSaI to Criminal

London, January 6.--Home Secretary
NJ Kenn has aroused much controversy
by refusing to allow a criminal under
sentence of death to marry the woman
with whom he had lived John Will
liam, burglar who committed a cold
blooded murder, will be hanged next
week. He wrote to the Home Secre-
tary: 81 want to marry my girl Flor
ence Seymour, before her child is born
viii you give permission? If so, It
must be given forthwith"
The Home Secretary curtly replied.
81 am unable to accede to the request"
Florence Seymour's baby was born
on Saturday within few hours of the
refusal of Williams request.
This refusal is now much criticised
Rev. Hugh Chapman, chaplain of the
Chapel Royal at Savoy, said; THE
marriage of a man condemned for muir
der has nothing whatever to do with
the Home Secretary, but is an affair of
any mans own conscience and the re-
ligious authorities. This child is just
as sacred as any other born into the
world, and it is cruel to deprive her of
a fathers name when he desired to
marry his sweetheart. should be only

Grace CAPTURES the Outnosts

The next evening there was choir
practice at the Walnut Street church.
Abbott Ashton, hesitating to make his
nightly plunge into the dust-clouds of
learning, paused in the vestibule to
take peep at Grace. He knew she
never missed choir practice. for
though she could neither sing nor play
the organ, she thought it her duty to
set an example of regular attendance
that might be the means of bringing
those who could do one or the other.
Abbott was not disappointed; but he
was surprised to see Mrs. jefferson in
her wheel-chair at the end of the pew
occupied by the secretary, while be-
tween them sat Mrs. Gregory. His sur
prise became establishment on discov-

ly Governor Oddie, sensing the i'm

lamation, calling upon the people of
Nevada to use Nevada sugar and
thereby help to build up a home in

The beet sugar produced in Neva-
da is just as cheap as any other and
there is no reasonable excuse for Ne
vada people not to use their home
product. The fact that sugar is
produced in this state also furnish
es the merchants of Nevada an OPP
portunity to practice what they
preach concerning ,4e importance of
establishing and patronizing home
idustries. The Tribune is strong
in the belief that the people of Ne
vada will respond heartily to the
suggestions contained in the gov

in their power to aid in establishing
the Nevada sugar industry upon a
sound basis.-Goldfield Tribune.
