FOR HER HONOR. A Caiftrna Woman's Long Strug gle to Prove Her Marriage, For Forty Years 8he Engage in Legal Warfre and at the Age of Bev- t ety Is S4U Determined to Be Righted. A white-haired old lady, with bent 8 figure and a sad worn * face, gave the I outlines of a curious story before Judge Hunt in San Francisco the other day. She was over seventy years old and she wanted a divorce, if she is married, or what she calls "justice" if she is not married. Therein, says the San Francisco Examiner, lies the whole point In the controversy she is making. For forty years she has been struggling to earn a living and settle that disput ed point. Once the bourts decided that she was married, but by a freak of for tune the judgment was never entered up, and by her victory she only offered another ground for contest to the man she calls her husband. Catherine Joys was married to Thomas Joys in Killar ney, Ireland, in April, 1842, so the old lady, Mrs. Joy, claimed to Judge Ilunt. Nearly two years later a son was born to them. In 1847, five years after the marriage, Joys suddenly disappeared from Killarney. About the same time one of the village beauties, Ann Cox, also left her home. Shortly afterward everybody knew that Joys had gono to America. A little later he reached Cal ifornia. After knocking about awhile he settled in this city. Mrs. Joys learned of his whereabouts and followed him here as soon as she could get money enough together. This was in 1869. She tried repeatedly to have him recognize her, but he stead fastly refused, stoutly aflirining that he liad never married her. She remained near him, however, hoping against hope that lie would change his mind and take her to his home. One day a letter from Ireland brought her tidings that her boy was dangerously sick. She hurried to him and arrived only in time to bestow a parting blessing before he died. Friends collected another purse for her and she returned again to the fruitless struggle of trying to gain some sort of recognition fron Joys. He would have nothing to do with her and denied her all assistanCe. Mrs. Joys earned what she could working out, getting help if she needed it from friends who knew her story. - Meanwhile Joys had succeeded in business and was accumul,tdiiK a nice little pro ierty ---, A , the while, ws ng at 431 Hayes street. In 1873 s thought his affairs in such a fine hape and his prospects so free from disturbance that lie married her. A lit tle later Mrs. Joys No. 1 brought sit for a divorce on the grounds of infideli ty. The case was fought long and bit terly in the old district court. The great point in the fight was to prove her marriage to Joys inl Killarney. Mrs. Joys won her suit and was declared to be the legitimate wife of Joys. She was granted the divorce and Joys was ordered to pay her twenty-five hundred dollars as her share of the community property. She had alleged that Joys was worth over twenty thousand dol lars and detailed where the property was located, but Joys swore that he held the property in trust for Miss Cox. At that time costs in a suit were very heavy. The charges against Mrs. Joys to enter up this judlgmnent would have been something like one hundred and thirty dollars. Joys fought hotly against paying her a cent, and (lays, and weeks sped by while she was try ing to get the money to enter the judg ment. It has never been entered to this day. Joys continued to live with his heart's second choice. She (lied not< long ago, leaving him two grown daughters and an estate valued at fifty i thousand dollars. One of the dauigh- ( term brought suilt against a local sav-t .ings bank not long ago to recover the money her mother had on dlepoisit there and which she ,claimed was her own.t "6rAsA&vso layes street and is in very good circumstances, lie still ve hemently denies that lhe nmarried Mrs. , Joys. A peculiar circumstance con- I nected with the p)resent suit is the fact < that all the papers in the first suit re t cently disappeared fronm the county' a clerk's office three weeks ago, a few e days after the secondl suit was filled. E Dust-covered copies of some of the papers have been found in the ofilces oft attorneys who worked in the first case. It was the disappearance of these papers that causedl a delay in the hear ing. THE AINUS. An UncivilIsed Tribe That Are Fast Fall On rocky islands off the coast of Ja pan live queer little hairy people called t the Ainu. They are not Japanese, al- a though what beginnings of civilization they have mastered are strongly in flu-i enced by Japanese art and manufac tures. An English traveler, says Harper's Young People, has recent'ly' finished a journey of one huindred and forty-six days among these people, who attacked him, totally dlestroyed his sketches and threw his colors and brpshes into the sea when lie attempted to paint them. Like most savages, they believe that to make a portrait brings bad luck, if not sickness and death, upon the person who is painted. These peo Ple wear very little clothing in sum mier, and in winter dress in bearskins, with- boots made from the skin of the salmon. , The women tattoo mustachesJ upon their faces, and both men and women wear earrings, or, lacking them, pieces of colored wood or cloth as a sub stitute. Their language contains few words, and an Ainu is rarely found who can count more than five. *The Amnu do not look much more at tractive than monkeys, andl do not seem capable of being taught the artsj of civilized people. In some sections I they are rapidly dying, and the time will Probably come when they with the Esquiwaux will have vanished off the earth like many other races of men, whose bones and stone implements sur -wive, but about whom we know next to nothiog ~ .__ What Ge.

Anyone strelling ilong the bnAhead of Erie basin, which is a vast hospital and haven for craft of all iolts, may have noticed reeently a great sip with skysail poles, seemingly fragile as toothpieks, tA)wering hboxp thel loftient spars of the biggest vessels moored around her. She is a four-tuaster, and her aerial intricacies of 'rigging and halliards and ropes are aChinese puzzle to the landsnan, but a vision of delight to the shellback. She is the Roanoke, giantess of wooden sailing vessels, and wi last of her type that ever will be constructed in America. For that rea n >in she is worth more than passing no tice. She represents the vanishing emi of wooden bottois, discrininated against by the marine underwriters since the advenit of steel ships.

The Yankee skipper thinks that aiy sailing vessel with three Inasts squaru rigged is a ship. 'he four-masted British ships may be nuimbered by the score; the fotir-inasted Anmerican ships may be counted on the fingers of one hand. 11ut the naILltica.Ll Oltilinists Say this is to be cianged, and that the change is at hand.
