HOROSCOPE.
Monday, July 2, 1917.

This is an unfortunate day, accord
ing to the reading of astroloGers.
Mars and Venus are in evil aspect.
1t is peculiarly unlucky day for
travel or change OF any sort. Impor-
tant journeys should be delayed.
Mars gives warning of conflict and
possible loss of life through some un-
expected cause, not in the regular
course of the usual war hazards.
1t is not fortunate rule for women
TO whom great burdens and many
anxieties appear to be coming.
Again emphasis is put upon the
prophecy that, unless the miracle Of
peace take place before autumn, the
war will assume conditions that mean
long strife and heavy losses to the
United States.
There is a sign read as foretelling
many frauds, strifes and scandals
connected with the war and our part
in it,
Warning is given of graft In places
that will be least suspected. An as
pect Of the stars makes this danger
appear most menacing.
This first week of July may bring
many adverse influences against which
the United States must combat and
new problems are indicated for the
President
Spies and plots will engage public
attention before the end of the month,
IT Is prognosticated.
The elimination of Saturn in Ger
many Is evil, as has been pointed out
oy astrologers, but being sextile to
Jupiter. II is possible that new allies
may aid the Kaiser.
There is a sign read as presaging
trouble in tails, asylums and other
public institutions.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
be most cautious in all business af-
fairs, which may prove very trouble
some.
Children born on this day NAV be
impetuous and hard to manage. These
subjects of Cancer often are exceed
lngly moody and temperamental.

Unwritten Law Legal,
Georqia JHdae Holds

Atlanta, July 1.-The ''unwritten
law" has at last been given stand
ing in a court OF justice and rec
ognized from the bench as a justi-
fable cause of homicide.
In the trial of George Gowan,
charged with the slsy!ng OF Her
bert Jones, Judge Ben Hill, in his
charge to the Jury. dealt at length
on the ''unwritten law" plea by
the young slayer. in which he held
that Gowan would be guilty OF
murder IL he had slain Jones as a
matter of revenge because of past
attentions to Mrs. Gowan, but that
he would be considered justi1able
and should be acquitted IL Jones
was continuing these attentions al
the time of the tragedy.
'Gowan would have had no right
to kill Jones as a mere matter OF
revenge, merely to sppease his rage
because Of past acts OF misconduct
on the part OF Jones. no matter how
bad they might have been" ex-
planned Judge Hill. IF It should
be shown. however. that Jone. was
persisting In his attentions to Cow
ans wife, and that Gowan slew
him TO end this conduct. then
the slayer would be acting within
, his rights, and should be acquit-
ted" Gowan was acquitted.

Cartoon Causes Stir
In the Bronx Zoo

New York, July 1.-Formal charges
against a scion OF the celebrated
Elephas family OF Africa have been
preferred by DR.. William T. Horna-
day. The defendant wasn't in court
when the charge was brought, being
detained in the Bronx.
The defendants name was Cartoon,
but the complaints' against him were
anything but funny. He was charged
with being nasty and not letting his
keeper enter his cage and acting in a
perfectly ungentlemanly fashion. Con-
sequently DR.. Hornaday. host of the
Bronx Zoo. ask the board Of estimates
for sl.4O0 with which to build an ad-

rewarded such services by handing
out a few words of thanks and a
