They signed a contract, the terms
of which provided that there is no
legal Disqualification to prevent
them from becoming husband and
Wife" and that the couple, in the
presence of witnesses, contract and
agree by mutual consent to become
husband and wife"
The Justice of the Peace read the
contract to the couple and they
took the oath and declared they ac-
cepted each other for husband and
wife, whereupon the Justice turned
the contract over to the woman and
advised her for her own protection
to have the instrument recorded.
This the woman has failed to do, as
there is no such contract on file
with the County Recorder.
1t is not generally known that
such a contract marriage is legal,
but such is the case. According to
Watson McDonald's legal opinions,
PAGE wv, the HidlIldSt t1ItHiOHy -
a civil contract entered into by two
persons who by mutual consent
agree to become husband and wife.
The law prescribes how such cere-
monies shall be performed; sets the
legal ages; prescribes who shall be
authorized to perform the cere-
mony, and requires that license
be obtained. yet nevertheless if any
or all of these provisions are not
complied with, yet if the contract is
mutually agreed to, the ceremony is
legal and binding, even though the
statutes may have been broken in
the performance of the marriage.
The only requisites are that the
agreement be in words in the pres
ence of witnesses. This establishes
the civil contract.

APPENDICITIS ANTIDOTE
DISCOVERED IN A SMILE

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 9.-JOiIns
Hopkins Hospital specialists made
public a bulletin to-day in which
they declared that appendicitis and
other intestinal diseases are due to-
gloomy spirits. They declared that
an absolutely certain preventive for
appendicitis was to smile. continu-
ally and habitually.
"Smile"-that is the latest and
cheapest preventive for appendici-
tbs. according to the surgeons who
have handled most of the cases in
the hospital.
1t long had been supposed that
appendicitis was hereditary While
observations made have shown that
this frequently is the case. it has
been proven that the main causes
are improper diet, hasty eating and
mental depression. To this latter
cause the majority of cases are at
tributed. This is also shown by the
statistics of the Phipps Psychiatrie
Clinic. in which many of the pa
tients have had to be operated on
for that disease in CONJUNCTION with
treatment for mental troubles.
Upon admission of each case
where a patient is suffering from
appendicitis the physicians in
charge make it a rule to inquire
into the habits of the subject to
find mainly whether or not ne is
mentally depressed, or in moro pop
ular language, nursing a Crouch
If this is the case. measures are ia

ceremony DECLARED LEGAL
No Legal Record of the Event,
However, Excepting the
Signed Contract.
BOTH WE'RE MARRIED BEFORE

News of marriage ceremony
recently performed in this city, in
which there was neither minister
nor Magistrate to pronounce the
words which made the couple man
and wife, in which there was no
marriage license procured, and yet
which is legal and binding in every
respect, has just become known,
says the Frankfort, Ind, News.
The contracting parties We're
Quinn McMasters and Miss Della
Pence. The ceremony was perform
ed about four weeks ago. The cou-
pie literally married themselves.
Their marriage pact was in the
form of contract. signed and
sworn to by both parties, in which
they agreed to accept each other as
lawful man and wife. No preacher
or official pronounced them mar
ried. The couple did not, and have
not since, procured marriage Ii
they are legally married, and can
not be separated excepting by
death or divorce.
At present they are residing with
Mrs Mary Pence, mother of the
bride, 1000 South Second street.
McMasters is employed as a laborer
by John A. Ross. and at present is
engaged in constructing bridge
near Wild creek, west of this city.
The wife is an employe of the Bank
able cigar factory.
Both parties had been married
before. McMasters was divorced
several months ago. Miss Pence
was formerly Mrs. William Frieden-
stein. and was granted a divorce by
Judge Combs during the last term
of the Circuit Court. The woman
will be remembered through a SEN
sational complaint filed against her
former husband, in which she
charged that her husband forcibly
elected her from his home one
night in the middle of winter, fol-
lowing a quarrel over a grocery bill.
The woman was adorned only in
her night clothing at the time, and
was forced to walk over snow in her
bare feet and awake neighbors at
midnight in order to seek haven
from the cold, she maintained.
The idea of marriage by contract
was proposed by McMasters, II is
said. as he was married to his for
mer wife by that process. The idea
was highly successful as a plan. he
is said to have declared. and so de-
cided that his last marriage should
be by the same process.
There is no legal record Of the
marriage ceremony, excepting the
signed contract, which was turned
over to the woman by Justice of the
Peace ]. W. Harland. who drew up
the contract. The couple married
themselves in the presence of the
Squire and two other witnesses.

been brought to the front at large
expense.
Leaving out of the question the
volunteer forces, we find that the
regular army of the United States,
after being ABOUT doubled by reason
of the necessities of the Mexican
campaigns, amounted to some &c.
$50 officers and men engaged in
Mexico. This force was OF three regi-
rifles, four of artillery. sixteen of
infantry and che of foot rifiemen.
While this force may have formed
the chief dependence of the Ameri-
can cause, the chief regimental cas-
ualty lists show that thousands of
the State volunteer troops were
heavily engaged in the chief battles
of the war.
In the great majority of engage
ments our troops were the inferior
in number, and superior only
through their experience and or
ganization, over the i'll trained and
poorly armed Mexicans. The inva-
ders' superiority over the Mexicans
in these respects was less observa-
BILE in the French invasion fifteen
years later. How far the Mexicans
of to-day, with their thorough
course in warfare during the past
three years, are still inferior when
on their own ground, to. standard
troops, is hard to settle.
The Americans, with an effective
force at the front of $4,000 to 49,
900 men and large reserve, were
able to capture the capital and Ov-
errun a great remote area, little
populated and feebly defended. The
operations consumed nearly two
years in a day of slower transpor-
tation than the present: The money
cost was great, partly because the
era was one Of high prices, but
more because the seat of war was
remote and transportation expen-
sive. Twelve thousand four hun
bred and twenty lives lost was an
item in the cost of the conquest not
covered by the money outlay.
The French, employing $4,000
men for three years and enduring
expenses and losses certainly equal
to ours, were able to hold but not
wholly to pacify the Mexican terri
tory. Their Intervention would APP
parently have involved the main
tenance of this great military force
perpetually on the watch for an
indefinitely long period.
Railroads and other modern ad-
vantages would favor an army en-
tering Mexico to-day to some ex-
tent. But such an advantage is cas-
lily overestimated. while. moreover.
modern means of warfare have
their advantages for the defender
as well. Possibly Mexico could be
pacified at military cost of less
than $500. 100000. But past events
do not Justify any confidence of
such an outcome.-[N New York Ev-

THE MATTER OF
TAKING MEXICO
Much Bigger Than Might

LAST TWO CONQUEsTs THERE

In Lives and Cash, AL
though Successful.
FINANCIAL COST, saOO,Ooo,ooo

Twice since Mexico gained inde-
pendence an outside Power mas
stepped in and conquered the coun'

tics of each of these military oper-
atoms. The present is a suitable
time to open the foliOs of the ola

sending an armed force into the
land of the children of Montezuma.
Neither our own Mexican war nor
the French conquest of the country
is likely to form a sufficiently up
to-date guide to afford any inter-
ventionist of the present hour an
exact knowledge of what Mexican
operations would cost to-day. None
the less either of the wars In ques-
ton furnishes recent enough pre-
cedent to reverse the old judgment
based on the exploits of Cortez, who
conquered the country at a profit.
Intervention in Mexico does not
necessarily imply war. Neither
does the fact that policeman en-
terine a mans house really implies
that the invader will be saluted
with a brickbat. Only there are
some houses known by reputation
as not to be entered without due
preparation on the policeman's part.
Mexico is a land which has put up
a determined fight against each OF
the two historic invasions of her
territory.
What, then, did our Mexican war
of 1S46-1S4S cost, whether in dol
lars or in the magnitude of the eff
fort involved? To cite c. M. Will
cox. "The Mexican War;" to the eff
feet that the war cost us between
$4,000, 900 and $150,0O0.OO0. is
the most direct answer to the ques-
ton. This figure, he explains, is
exclusive of pensions. Although
he does not so specify, 1t is doubt
less likewise exclusive of the $751;
600, 900 obligation which the coun-
try assumed by the treaty of Quad

In all. according to this authori-
ty, the United States had under
arms or employed about 100000
men in the course Of this after all
thoroughly successful war. More
than three quarters of these were in
the army, volunteer and regular.
