HEART BALM SUITS
RELIC OF BARBARISM

CHICAGO. H., Oct. L..--"Breach Of
promise suits are relics Of barbarism.
and in the light of twentieth century
ethics they must soon become obso-
lete." declares DR.. Lucy Waite. Chi
cago clubwoman and suffragist.
III women are ever to be the social
equals OF men they must take their
chances In affairs Of the heart as well
as IN other affairs of the world, equal
ly with men. Breach or promise suits
are relics Of the time when marriage
offered women practically their only
means Of support But in these days
when there is honorable work for wo-
men to do they should scorn to put a
price on their love or use any means
to compel men to marry them.
When women are economically In
dependent we will have no suits for
breach OF promise to marry. The wo-
man who has her own income can
look man squarely In the face
and demand of him manliness, Gull
ture, integrity. and not money"

WENT DOWN WITH SHIP.
Nephew of burlington Woman Lost
Life of Chilean Coast.

Among those who were lost when the
British ship Monmouth went down in the
battle with the German fleet off the Chill
can coast was George Smitch. nephew OF
Mrs Fred Fox of 6 South Champlain
street. The boy was but lG years of age
and AN orphan There is no hope that he
escaped for at the time Of the battle a
blizzard was raging and no small boat
could live in such a sea. The German
ships saw the boat list and finally sink
about the time that the explosion was
heard aboard the Good Hope.
The lad was in the band and until the
Monmouth sailed was stationed on one IF
the ships which were sent to the North
sea. His relatives were therefore intense
~ pleased when the transfer came and he
was sent to what appeared a place of COM
parative safety The first Mrs Fox
knew of his death was when reports of the
battle came in, and after that came word
from England, where his name was given
as one of the lost.
In addition to her nephew Mrs. Fox has
many other relatives in the British navy
but all were alive at the last reports She
has one uncle and four cousins, all in the
North sea. but on different ships. She
has also step-brother in the artillery
which is at the front in France and an
other stcp-brother who is stationed on the
Active, a monitor, which has taken an a2-
tive part i'm the commandments along the
coast. \ nephew, she learns has recently
enlisted and Is now at Portsmouth, so that
the family at home has pretty nearly been
reduced to women and children
Mr. Fox also has his side represented
and now has a nephew in India and Il
brother-in-laW with the British army IN
France He lost a rothcr in the Boxer
uprising in China.

DIR. WEBB IMPROVING.
Operation Thought Necessary Some
Weeks Ago May Not BE Required.

The condition Of DIR. w. Seward Webb,
who has been quite i'll, was much i'm
proved Monday and an operation which
was thought necessary some weeks ago
will not be required. He is now able to
be about his room and expects soon to
venture out of doors. While at a Pull
man directors meeting at Chicago some
weeks ago, DR.. Webb was suddenly at
tackled with a severe pain in the region
Of the liver This was followed by a
considerable enlargement and Or. Able
|of New York was called to Shclburne in
consultation. The exact cause for the
enlargement could, however, not be de-
termined without an exploratory opera
lion, but DR. Webb was so severely
|ill at that time 1t was deemed inadvis-
able and now the necessity for 1t seems
Ito have passed.

on the contrary, he alleges, the con-
tract to do the paving and curbng was
let to the Peter Shceran company. which
put in $1,000 surface yards of sidewalk
and 10000 seet of curbing during the sea-
son.
Mr. Bundv claims further that by the
city's action he has been deprived Of
doing the work which was justly his and
he seeks to recover the sum of 5000 from
the city.
one Of the commissioners, Thomas
Reeves, was asked by "A Free Press re-
porter about the suit and ne replied that
the commissioners had no statement to
make at this time He added that there
had been some talk between Mr.. Bundy
and the commissioners, but he did not
understand that the contract had been
promised to Mr.. Bundy. His bid was
somewhat higher than that OF the
sheeran company, and he bid only on the
sidewalk.
