But afigr awhile j the money gave out and then they paid ! iu cattle. After awhile the cattle were ; all in possession ot the goverumeut and j then the Hebrews bought corn from the > iroverument by surrendering themselTes ' as slates. | j KKGIXXING OF SLA VJKUY IX KGYPT.

That would be the revival in this land |ot that old Egyptian tyranny for which God has uoer had anything but red hot thunderbolts. But through such unwise processes Israel was enslaved ;n Egypt, and the long line or agonies began ail up and down the !XiIe.

Not surrounding nations, Pharaoh's threat made them all tremble. Not the gods Ammon and Osiris or the goddess Is is, for Pharaoh built their temples out of the groans of this diabolical servitude. But one hot day the princess Thonoris, the daughter of Pharaoh. while in her bathing house on the ( banks of the Nile, has word brought her j that there is a baby afloat on the river j in a cradie made out ?f big leaves. Of course there is excitement all up I and down the banks, for an ordinary baby iu an ordinary cradle attracts smiling attention, but an infant in a cradle ot papyrus rocking on a river arouses nnr /*? %! r?

You shall yet vrear the Egyptian crcwn and sit on the Egyptian throne." Xo! No! Xo! He is to bo the emancipator of the Hebrews. Tell it in all the brick kilns.

So I expect that Mos?s will be helped in rtsctiiujf thu Israelites by a special weaponry. T<> the Egyptians the Nile ?vas a dt.i;y. lis uaters were then as now very delicious. It was the finest natural beverage of all the earth. We have no such love for the Hudson, and Germans ha^e no such love for the llhine, and Russians have no such love :or the Volga as the Egyptians hare love tor the Nile. *"?ut one day. when Pharaoh comes aown to this river, Moses takes a stick ian.l u-hirs the wafers *nd theV turn 1 into the "gore of a slaughter house, and through the slaices and fishpondi the incarnadined liquid b*cks up Into the i-vjul and the mtiodor whelms everything irom mud hovpi to throne room. ! hcii cHiiiri the frog?, with horrible rexk, all over ?verthing. Then this people, cleanly almost to fastidiousness, were infested" with inaectt that belong to the filthy uad unkrmpr., and the air buzzed a:iu buxzed with tlits, and then the distemper started cotts to bellowing and horses to neighing, an-J camels to gf)auing, <<s tney rolled over and expired. | A.iii then boils, cne of which will pur. it iu<ta in wretdiednew, came in clusters | from the tup of the hea<l to the sole of | the toot.

And then locusts ] came in. swarms of them, worse than j the ?ra?shoppers ever were In Kansas, i !and then darkne?3 dropped for throe j days so that the people ?ould not see I their hand before their face, great (surges of midnight covering them, i And last of a 1, on the night of the 18th. j of April, about eighteen hundred years | before Christ, the Destroying Ang?l j sweeps past; and hear It all night long, the flap! flap!

NOW IS ISRAEL S CHANCE. The Isrealitish homes, however, were*: untouched. ]>ut these homes nerefull I of preparation, for now is your chance,' 0 ye wronged Hebrews! Snatch up j what pieces of food you can and te the desrrt! Its simeoms are better than the bondage you h*ve sufltired. Its scorpions will not sting so sharply as the wrongs that have stung you all your lives. Away! The man who was cradled in the basket of papyrus on the Nile will lead you. Up! Up! This is the nirht of your rescue. They gather together at* a signal. Alexander's armies and all the armies of olden time wei e led by torches on high poles, great crests of lire; and the Lord Almighty | kindles a torch not held by human hands but by omnipotent hand. Not made out of straw or oil, but kindled out of the atmosphere, such a torch as the world never saw before and never will see again. It reached from the earth unto the heaven, a pillar of lire, that pillar practically spying "l'his way! March this way!" On that supernatural llambeau more than a millioa refugees set their eyes. Moses and Aaron lead on. Then come the herds and flocks moving on across the sands to what is the beach of waters I now cailed Bahr-el-Kulzum, but called j in the Bible the lied sea. And when I I dipped my hands in its blue waters, the heroics of the Mosaic passage rolled over me. ON THE RED SBA'S SUOKE. After three davs march the Israelfor tVia Tiiorht ill 311 tiiUiiu ?S<r;v* lUi. WUV w un the banks of the Red sea. A* the shadows begin to fall, in the distance is seen the host of Pharaoh io pursuit. There were six hundred finest war chariots, followed by common chariots, rolling at full speed And the glittering: of the wheels and the curse of infuriated Egyptians came down with the darkness. But the Lord opened the crystal gates of Bahr-el-Kulzum and the enslaved Israelites passed into liberty, and then the crystal gates of the sea roiled shut against the Egyptian pursuers. it was about two o'clock in the morning when the Interlocked axle trees of the Egyptian chariots could not move an inch either way. But the R?d sea unhitched the horses and unhelmeted the warriors, and left the proud host a wreck on the Arabian sands. Then two choruses arose, and Moses led the men in one, and Miriam led the women in the other, and the women beat time with their feet. The record says: "All the women went out after her with timbrels and with danc?s. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown iuto the sea." What a thrilling story of endurance and victory. The geatest triumph of Handel's genius was shown in his immortal dramatic oratorio, "Israel in Egypt." lie had civpn to the world the oratorio of "Esther and JDeborrah," and Athallah, but reserved for his mlehtiest exertion at the full height of his powers the marshaling of all musical instruments to the description in harmoDj of the scenes on which we this morning dwell. He gave twenty-seven days to this production, with its twenty-eight choruses, enthralling his own time and all aftertime with his "Israel in Egypt." So the burden of oppression was lifted, bat another burden of Egypt Is made up of deserts. Indeed, Africa is a great continent for deserts, Libyan desert, Sahara desert, deserts here and there and yonder, condemning vast regions of Africa to barrenness, one of the deserts three thousand miles long and a thousand miles wide. But all those deserts will yet be Hooded, and so made fertile. De Lesseps says It can be done, and he who planned the Suez canal, which marries the Red sea, and the Mediterranean, knows what he is talking about. The human race is so multiplied that it must have more cultivated laud, and ' ?' If-. U1H WOriU IL1U3L >IUUU3U 103 unci 10. Eight hundred millions of the human raoe are now livio^r on lands not blessed with r;>ins, but dependent on irrigation. and we want by irrigation to make room for eight hundred millions more. By irrigation the prophecy will be fulfilled, and "the desert will blossom as the rose." So from Egypt the burden of s*nd will be lifted. TIIE BURDEN OF MOHAMMEDANISM. Another burden of Egypt to lie lifted is the burden of Mohammedism, although taere are seme good things about that religion. A commendable grace is cleanliness. Strong drink is positively forbidden by Mohammedanism, and though some may have seen a drunken Mohammedan, I never saw one. It is a religl-n of sobriety. Then they are not ashamed of their devotions. When the call for prayers !s soiiDdfd from the minarets the Mohammedan immediately unrolls the rug on the ground and falls on his knees, and crowds of spectators are to him no embarrassment?reproof to many a Christian who omits his prayer* if people are looking. But Mohammedanism, with its poly gamy, blights everything it touches, Mohammed, its founder, had four wives, and his followers are the enemies of good womanhood. Mohammedanism puts its curse on all Egypt, and by setting up a sinful Arab higher than the immaculate Christ, is an overwhelming blasphemy. May God holp the brave and consecrated missionaries who are spending their lives In combating it But before I forget it I must put more emphasis upon the fact that the last outrage that resulted in the liberation of the Hebrews was their being compelled to make bricks without ! straw. That was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Go j would allow the despotism against h :s people to go no farther. Making bricks without straw! TIIE OPPRESSION STILL GOES ON. That oppression still goes on. Demand of your wife appropriate ward robe and bountiful table without pro-1 vidiny tbe means necessary?bricka without straw. Cities demanding in the pubiic ?chool faitkful and successful instruction without giving the teachers competent livelihood?brieks without straw. United State's^vern:uent demanding of senators^-and con gressmen at Washin;/T<3tl uTll atttndance to the interests c t the people, but on compensation which may have done In many parts of the land churches ! demanding of pastors vigorous sermons j and sympathetic service on starvation salary; sanctifinl Ciceros on four dollar* a year. Bricks without straw. That is one reason why there are so many poor bricks. In all departments, bricks are not bricks at all. Work adequately paid for is worth more than work not paid for. More straw and then better bricks. But in all departments there are; Pharaohs; sometime* Capital a Pharaoh sometimes Labor a Paraoh. When Capital prospers, and makes large percentage on its investment, and declines to consider the needs of the operatives, and treats them as so many human machines?their nerves no more than the bands on the lactory wheel?then Capital is a Pharaoh. On the other hand, when workmen, not regarding the anxieties and business struggles of the firm Amninvinrr t.hpm. and at a time when the firm are doing their best to meet an important contract and need all hands busy to accomplish it, at such a ttme to have his employees make a strike and put their employers into extreme perplexity and severe loss?then Labor becomes a Pharaoh of the worst nppes?icn, and must look out for the Judgments of God. THERE ARE STILL PIIAEAOILS. When in Deccmbor of 1889, at the Musium at Boulac, Egypt, I looked at the mummies of the old Pharaohs, the very miscreants who dinbolized centuries, and I saw th?ir teeth and hair and finder nails and the llrsft drawn tight over their cheek bones, the sarcophagi of these dead monarchs side by side, and I was so fascluated 1 could only with dllliculty get away from the spot, I was not looking upon the last of the Pharaohs. AU over the world old merchants playing the Pharaoh over young merchants, old lawyers playing Pharaoh over young lawysrs, old doctois playing the Pharaoh over young doctors, old artists playing the Pharaoh over young artists, old ministers play 1 ing the Pharaoh over young ministers. I Let- all oppressors whether in homes in churches, in stores, in oiilcej, in factories, in social iife or political life, in private life or public life know that God nates oppressors, and they will come to grief here or hereafter. Pharaoh thought he did a fine thing, a cunning thing, a decisive thing when for the complete extention of the Hebrews in Egypt he ordered ah the Hebrew boys massacred, but he did not tind it so fine a thing whc.. his own lirst born that night of the destroying angel dropped dead on the mosaic iloor at the foot of the porphyry pillar of the palace. Let all the Pharaohs take warning. Some of the worst of them are on a small scale in households, as when a man. because his arm is strong and his voice loud dominates his poor wife into a domestic slavery. There are thousands of such cases where the wife is a lifetime serf, bf-r opinion disregarded, her tastes insulted, and her existence a wretchedness, though the world may not know it. It is a Pharaoh that sits at the head of that table, and a Pharaoh that tyrannizes that home. There is no more abhorrent Pharaoh than a dumestic Pharoah. There are thousand.?or women to whom death is passage from Egypt to Canaan, because they get rid of a cruel taskmaster. What an accursed monster is that man who keeps his wife in dread about family expanse? and must be cautious how she introduces an article of milmery or womanly wardrobe without humiiiating consultation or apology. Who is that nun acting so? For six I months?In order to win that woman's heart?he sent her every few days a bouquet wound with white ribbon and an endearing couplet, and took her to concerts and theaters, and helped her into carriages as though she were a princess, and ran across the room to pick up her handkerchief with the speed of an antelope, and on the marriage day promised all that the liturgy required, saying "I will!" with an emphasis that excited the admiration of all spectators. But now he begrudges her two cents for a postage stamp, and wonders why she rides across Brooklyn bridge when the foot passage costs nothing. He thinks now she is awful plain, and he acts like the devil, while he thunders out: "Where did jou get that new hat from ? That's where my money goes. Where's my breakfast? "Do you call that coffee? Didn't 1 tell you to sew on that button ? Want to see your well enough A'hen twenty-fivo cents went as far as a dollar how, but in these times not sufficient to preserve their influence and respectabilitybricks without straw. mother, do you? You are always going' to see your mother! What are you whimpering about! Hurry up now and get my slippers! Where's the newspaper?" The tone, the iook, the impatience?the cruelty of a Pharaoh. That is what gives so many women a cowed dovrn look. Pharaoh! you had better take your iron heel oil that woman's neck or God will help you remove your heel. She says nothing. For the sake of avoiding a scandal she keeps silent, but her tears and wrongs have gone into a re^ird that you will have to meet *s certainly as Pharaoh had to meet hail and lightning and darkness and tiie death angel. God never yet gave to any man the rigiitto tyrannize a woman and what a sneak you are to take advantage of the marriage vow, and because she cannot help herself, and under the shelter of your own home out Pharoah the Egrtian oppressor. There is something awfully wrong In a household where the woman Is not considered of as much importance as the man. No room in this world for any more Pharaohs! SIX IIAS BEEN* OUR TASKMASTER. But It rolls orer on me with great nftn-pr t.he t.honcht that we have ail been slaves down in Egypt, and sin ha? been our taskmaster, and again and again we have felt its lash. But Cbrist has ueen our Moses to lead us out of bondage, and Me are forever fiee. The Red sea of a Saviour's sacrifice roils deep and wide between us and our aforetime bondage, and though thrre may be deserts yet for us to cross, we are on the way "to the Promised Land. Thanks he unto God for this emancipating Gospel! Come up out of Egypt all ye who are vet enslaved. What Christ did for us he will do for you. "Exodus!" is the word. Exodus! Inttead of the brick kilns o'Egypt come into the empurpled vineyards o"f God, where one cluster of grapes is bigger than the one that the spies brought to the Israelites by the Brook of Eshcol, though tha: cluster was so large that it was borne' between two upon a staff." Welcome all Dy sin oppressed, Welcome to his sacred rest; t Nothing bromght him from abore, Vnthlncr hnt milpftminf lore.

New York, Nov. 4.- In last Tuesday's election the Democrats swept the Stale, their majority being between forty and fifty thousand, j Ex-Preaident Grover Cleveland gave his opinion of the results of Tuesday's election as follows: "Of course every oup. has the right to put his own construction upon the results, and I am not anxious to obtrude my icdeas, but it seem-; to me some things ought to be ? - - - - _ J l a.*.. 1 A ^ .4.4 11 no longer uouuuui. j.\.uyuuo wuu own thinks that tarifT reform Is a settled and obsolete issue, or that the Importance of sound and safe moi>ey is a question upon whl?h the peoplt can be blinded, is either wilfully wrong or dangerously dull.

He has been a brave and honest official. This and the splendid canvass he made entitled h im to success. While the election of Flower, llussell and Boies ought to cause the utmost rejoicing among Democrats, they should not forget that with these things comes the obligation to be true to the party, honest in the advocacy of our principles, aod decent in all things. Watkrtown, X. Y., Nov. 4.?Governor elect Flower returned this evei.ing from New York, and was received jy thousands of citizens who tendered him a grand ovation.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4.?The Hepublicans carried tbis State In Tuesday's election by a majority of twentythousand, electing all of their State officers and capturing both branches of the Legislature. The feature of the result is the complete drop of the People's party. Thsir vote in the State wllfnot exceed 11,500, and they claimed before the election at least 75,000. They probably will lose 7.000 votes from last year, falling probably 16,000. This loss is traced to the Republican Counties and partially accounts for their gains in strength. Governor Campbell takes the situation philosophically and says that the Democratic party was laboring under tnn <7rp.at a handleaoin Ohio because of the lack of funds to pay the legitimate expenses of the campaign. He says they have made the best fight tbey could in the face of the Republican majority of 11.000 to start ou and the combined opposition of the mannfaciurers and capitalists. Besides all this It was a life and death struggle with the Republican party. To defeat McKinley, one of its national leaders and the rep resentative of its chosen idea of protection, meant the downfall and disintegration of the party itself. Party lines were closely drawn. iowa remains democratic. Pes Moines, Nov. 4.?The latest returns indicates that Boies, the Democratic candidate, has been elected Governor by about eight thousand pluralitv. Ei^htv-eieht counties give him 12 SOO, and"the"other eleven two years ago went 3,084 Republican, reducing the first figures to 9,722. 13ut proportional e gams in these eleven should increase the plurality to 10,000. The Democrats claim the election of their whole State ticket, as it runs well up with Boies. The Senate stands: 25 Democrats, 24 Republicans and 1 Independent. The Republicans have a majority of 2 in the house. The Democrats are having a regular old-fashioned jubilee to-night over the success of Boies. Fires are burning all < over the State, and Democrats are marching the streets with brass bands celebrating their victory. Governor Boles arrived to-night from Waterloo, and his carriage was drawn through 1 the streets by a great crowd of Democrats. A great jollification meeting will be held here Saturday. 1 massachusetts elects a democratic governor.

Without these towns, Russell's plurality is 6,913. The missing towns will r y lower these figures more than a score, if at all. The Republicans have elected the rest of their State ticket, by about the same plurality, showing that Governor Russell ran fully 14,000 vetes a: ead of hii tioket. The Republicans captured both branches of the Legislature. Governor Russell this morning claims his flection by about 0,000. ile sr.ys: "If tueams that Massachusett* is earnestly for tariff reform on the line of free raw material, which has been the chief issue in this State.

The result is a great victory for the Republican. Ten out of the eleven Peoples party candidates for district judge were defeated. Lastytar the People's party elected nearly four-fifths of the county officers of the scate. Yesterday ihe figures were reversed. The People s party elected only one district judge out of nine.

Thaajht of the in Washington. Washington, November 4?Democrats in this vicinity are very well pleased with the outcome of yesterday's elections, while the Republicans are slad that it was no worse. A member of the Cabinet, who object? to being quoted, said to-day that the Republican managers in New York completely ignored the Administration during the recent fight in spite of the fact that they were warned against the AntiTammaay issue in the rural districts. Republicans in Northern New York appealed to Piatt and his lieutenants to send some speakers into that section who could tell the farmers something about the effect of the McKinly bill on eggs, barley and similar products which come into competition with Canadian productions. The President is alleged to hav? suggested that, It would be better to inject national issues into the campaign with a view t? arousing the interest of the voters in the counties outside ot New York and Brooklyn. IIi3 ideas were repeated to Mr. Piatt, but he paid no attention to the friendly suggestions. Hence there appears to be but little sympathy for the downfall of Fassett in Administration circles. un me oilier nana,ine.uemocrais are not cast down because Campbell was defeated la Ohio. While they wanted the ceurageous Governor to win they realized that he had remarkable odds against him. Coegressman McKinney, of New Hampshire, who took an active part in the recent campaign, says that the whole weight of the Administration was thrown into Ohio to help McKinley. The returns show a falling off in the Republican vote in the manufacturing centres, while tbey gained in the agricultural districts, thus showing the people were affected by the course of events since the passage of the McKinley bill. The operatives in the mills voted against McKinley because his bill did not increase their wages, and the farmers were disposed to favor it because they are getting better prices for their crops, and imagine the bill has something to do with that pleasant fact. Congressman Mills expressed hi3 regrets that Governor Campbell was not re-elected, but, said he, yesterday's fight settled beyond dispute that the" Democrats must throw aside all other issues and make a sqaare contest with the Republicans on the tariff question. To do that they should select Cleveland as their standard-bearer, and it is probable that the Republicans will nominate McKinley. In that event there would be no room to drag in the silver or any other outside issues, but confine the fight to the tariff alone.?Xews and Courier. Kow In Arkansas. Chicago, Oct. 29.?A special from Little Rock. Ark., savs: 'News reached here last night of a terrible hand-to hand encounter at Bucksport, twenty miles from Eldorado, Union County, at a Farmers' Alliance mass meeting: last night. State Lecturer Bryan, of the Alliance, was the principal speaker of the evening. Shortly after he had concluded his speech a quarrel took place among several spectator?, which was soon taken up by many others in the audience. Winchester Ritles, shotgun* and pistols were used with deadly effect. Burt Manning, J. II. Town and three others, whose names could not be learned, were killed. Several were slightly wounded. Sheriff Dunn, of Eldorado, left to-day fer the scene of the trouble. Red-hot politics was the only and sole cause of the trouble." Mnrdered In Their Bed. Birminghan, Ala., Nov. 2.?Five assasinations within ninety days is the record of Georgiana, a smalltown In Butler county. This morning the dead and mangled body of Tom Shepard and his wife were found in bed at that place. During the night both had been brained with an axe, which was found beside the bed, clotted with blood. No cause for the deed is kncwn.but it is believed that the murder was committed because the aged couple were against moonshiners a desperate gang who operate in this vicinity of Georgiana and are already responsible for two previous murders. The sheriff and a posse are scoureng the country, and if caught the murderers will be lynched. Great ex citement prevails. Bridal Tonr ia a Bulloen.

The balloon was going steadily toward the remote mountain regious of North Ala bama, end directly away from railroad and telegraph lines.

Besides this there is considerable difference of opinion as to the cause of his appearance, it being claimed by gome that he \ras captured, and by othera that he voluntarily surrendered himself. These differences of opinion assumed definite shape yesterday morning when officer II. H. Hill called upon Governor Tillman and claimcd the reward ofl'ered for McFail's capture. Previous to Mr. Hill's arrival, however, Governor Tiliman had received communications from Robert Aldrich, Esq., one of McFail's counsel, and Mr. H.

To His Excellency Governor B. R. Tillman, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir:?William L. McFail surreadered voluntarily to the Sherili' of th:s County to-day.

My Dear Sir:?McFail, the slayer of Burpee, has surrendered to the Sheriff through his friend H. H. Hill. This is done to get the reward offered by you for his arrest, or at least Vnis Ls the general impression here. Can you not withhold the reward and investigate the matter?

Thursday Governor Tillman received j the following additional letter in regard to the alleged fraudulent capture of W. < L. McFail by H. II. Hill in Barnwell < County: 1 "Babnwell C. H., Not. 3d, 1891. "To His Excellency, Gov. 13. K. Tillman, Columbia, S. C.: "Dear Sir:?I wrote you last nl?;ht , that Wm. L. McFail had voluntarily surrendered to the sheriff, and any claim ' for the reward offered would be an at- i tempted fraud upon tbe State arid should \ be disregarded. I was moved to writ? j yoa aa I did without any knowledge ot i the fact, or ev;n any r-.imor havicg reached me of such an attempt being in -contemplation by any one, but simply i iiom certain suspicious circumstances attending the surrender. It has come to my hearing today that one Hill obtained from Sheriff Lancaster a certificate that he had arrested MeFail and that he had delivered him up, and that upon the next train Hill left, presumably for Columbia. My suspicions are cow confirmed, and I hope my letter reached you in time to frustrate this swindle. I am one of McFaU's attor ceys, and know that he has fully intend' ed, all the time, to surrender upon the eve of the court, which begins here next Monday, and only avoided arrest because he feared he would not be able to 2:et bail, and naturally preferred to stay but of jail than in it. "I know also that Hill could no more have arrested McFail, without ;his consent, than could apt infant have captured an armed warrior and brought him to prison, and the farce of Hill capturing McFail is only surpassed by the audacity of the fraud attempted or may "be consummated, on you and the State. If he has succeeded, I am clearly of the opinion, and can furnish the proof, that it ia a case of obtaining money under false pretences. As a citizen, this swindling operation upon the State excites my ire, and, being perpetrated in a case with which I am connected, arouses my Indignation. I shall be at your service and at that of the attorney general when required. "I beg to remain very respectfully yours, Robt. Aldrtch." Governor Tillman again states that he will take no action in this matter ' without a full investigation, which will be undertaken at once. . - I MARRIES HIS 5I5T?K. ^ Queer Legal Tangle That is Vexing the >'ew York Barge Official*. New Yoke, >"ov. 5.?-General O'Beirne is in a quandary. As acting Superintendent of Immigration at the Barge office in the absence of Colonel Weber, who has gone home to Buffalo to vote, the General is required to pass upon a case presenting some very peculiar and unprecedented features. A family by the name of Muller arrived Saturday from Mecklenburg, on the steamer Fuerst Bismarck. The family consisted of a mother, a daughter, a son and a son-in-law. All had tickets for Elgin, 111. The daughter, Marguerite Muller, was detained ?t the Barge office because of her condition. According to the custom which obtains at the port of entry in such cases some one must marry her or bonds must be given for her support. It ai?pears that the knowledge of this requir ment came to the family on shipboard, and the brother, John Muller, agreed to marry his sister. After the brother-in-law had gone West yesterday, and in the temporary absenoe of Mrs. Muller, John and Mar guente were married dj castor aeyi, 01 the Lutheran Mission in State street, in the presence oi General O'Beirne. Upon the mother's rsturn the discovery of the Iraud was made, and both brother and sister were detahaed at the Barge office for further action. General O'Beirne said this morning that he had been grossly imposed upon aad that he would have the deceiving S. couple on board ship in less than twenty-four hours, and would see thai they were tent back to Europe. 4'It was a deliberate fraul," he said, "perpetrated for the sake o; getting the ^irl out of the Barge office. I told the young man that he was not compelled to marry the girl and had Pastor Keyl tell him the same thing. They insisted, liowever, upon the marriage ceremony being performed and went through it with all aparent reverence. The discovery of the actual relations of the pair *as an astounding revalation. I shall consult with the United States District Attorney's office to-day and learn what must be done, if anything, to have the marriage annulled." At the office of the United States District Attorney it was said this morning that the case had not been brooght formally to their attention, and that until it was no opinion could be passed jpon it. ? ? > ' l i it.. n Mr. 1 reaencs it. couaerc, me wen known international lawyer, was asked to give an opinion upon the case. / ' 'yZW? "I chink," said Mr. Coudert, "that *reat leniency should be exercised. The brother undoubtedly acted from a worthy motive and under extreme pressure. He saw no other way of getting his aester ;o her destination ?and saving her from jpen disgrace, and to send her back in Lhe streerage at this season of the year night possibly result in her deati. "As to the law in the case: If the couple, as I understand it, were, at the :ime of the alleged marriage, which, of course, was no marriage at all, still unler United States jurisdiction, then no states law has been violated, and I know )f no Federal law which covers the case. [t seems to me that the best way is to Irop the whole business and let the people proceed to their destination. 1 cer.ainiy would never take part in the prosecution of such a case."
