Nashua, II.?The unique experi ment of tli;; State ol New Hampshire to induce better enforcement of the laws regarding cruelty to children and animals by appointing two worn en as deputy sheriffs seems to liavr) 1 'illy demonstrated its success by the reports made by Mrs. Jennie P. Pow ers, of Keene, and Mrs. M. Jennie Kendall, of Nashua, and will load. It is believed, to several other such ap pointments. The work of both women is eon fined almost wholly to the enforce ment. of lawn protecting children and animals from cruelty. Mrs. Powers has Cheshire County under her juris diction, while Mrs. Kendall Is re sponsible for Hillsboro County. The former devotes her time exclusively to tho work of prosecuting wrong doers, while Mrs. Kendall's lime is only partially taken up by the work, her home demanding the rest of her time. Armed with a camera and a re volver of heavy calibre, and thor oughly versed in the law covering her powers and duties, Mrs. Powers has gone fearlessly about her work, and in the last year has made six teen arrests, killed forty-one horses and caused numerous prosecutions. Using her camera to obtain indis putable evidence, she notllies wrong doers of the law and their duty. Fail ure to kill a maimed animal or a continuance of cruel treatment is fol lowed at once by arrest and prosecu tion, Mrs. Powers personally assum ing the responsibility of putting the animal out of tho way or obtaining relief. Mrs. Kendall has confined most of her activities to Nashua and the' im mediate vicinity, wlierq she has caused many arrests for cruelty to children and animals, followed by prosecution in the courts, and has had many animals killed. "I often llnd it necessary to make arrests," said Mrs. Powers, "and have locked up many offenders, including a number of men. I have a team and a driver and thus far have not met with any resistance when arrest ing a person. 1 usually Inform a man or woman that I have been author ized to make the arrest, at the same time emphasizing the fact that any resistance will involve a greater pen alty. As a rule thi3 has been sudi Ment." Both deputies are constantly seek ing new means of bettering condi tions for which they are responsible. They visited Lowell last week to in spect a now gas system for the pain less killing of animals, a method they purpose to introduce into New Hamp shire, and at the samo time consulted a Massachusetts veterinary with a view 01" having him visit New Hamp shire and give lectures. Woman Justice Cul^Obey" and Substitutes "Ajires." Chicago.?Mrs. Catherine \Y. Mc Culluch, the only woman justice of the peace in this Slate and also judge, has decidcd to leave out tho word "obey" in performing marriage cere monies. "That is a word that has outlived its usefulness," said she. "No man or woman expects the person he lor she is going to marry to keep suph a promise. I believe that instead of the word 'obey' I will use tho worn-, ?agree.' That's the one thing that brides and bridegrooms should de cide to do. If thsy always strive to agree there will bo no need of 'obey ing.' " Drowned in Vat of Whisky. ???

Now York City,? General Huron Tamoninto Kuroki, of Japan, who has beon undergoing a sovore Initiation into American cuetoinB for the last few weakB, g?t tho Itnal degree - an American banquot. The Joint com mittee of Japanese rcaldenta and Americans gavo this honor to the vis iting soldier at the Hotel Astor. Being unconversant with onr lan guage, the General mlsaed what la usually tho characteristic feature of the great American banquet, tho ora tory, but ho sat unruffled and smooth browed under tho speakers' dlus in the banquet hall and toyed with his cigar while tho (low of words was at its full. Nobody could have road Ku rokl'a face to be indicative of else but the most absorbed interest. The General possesses to tho full limit that admirable Japaneae characterise tic of assumed absorption. There were almost SOU people sit ting nbojft the tables In the grand I ballroom at 7 o'clock. Tho guest list ' Included the names of all the prom inent Japanese of New York and the surrounding cities, diplomats and members of legation staffs from Washington, American men and wom en prominent in the business and ho clal life of New York. Admiral George Dewey was ex-ofllclo toast master of the evening because of his headship on the American committee of reception, but tho Admiral was modest beyond precedent and he spoke only briefly, allowing John 11. Flnloy, president of tho College of the City of New York,*to do tho yeoman work. Hailed as tho Greece of the modern I world and her statesmen likened to Lincoln, Gladstone and Bismarck, Japan was enthusiastically cheered as America's groat sister nation. Not the least opportunity was lost to acclaim every achievement of tho Japanese. Nearly every speaker gave Japan full credit for having achieved a civilization of her own. Returning thanks for the compli ments heaped upon thorn, the distin guished guests paid pretty tribute to American women, whom Viscount AokL described as "the handsomest In the world." The health of tho President- of tho United State and the Emperor of Jnpc.ii was drunk standing, while the Japanese anthem was sung. It came to an end with a tremendous "Ban zai," started by tho Japanese them selves?a wild, ccstatlc cry compara ble to nothing in the world?and \ taken up by all the Americans pres ent and carried along until It diod out tu_u long, fervent American cheer that caused tho glassware on the tables to rattle. The cheer was begun anew when Dewey, Introduced by Dr. Flnlay, | mounted the platform.blushed in acknowledgement of the innova tion and saluted with dignity the en thusiastic Japanese who leaped to their feet, particularly the men from the ships, and hurled a series of "Banzais" at the hero of Manila. Ills speech was brief but graceful. "1 wish," said Dowey, "to tender a hearty greeting and welcome to the distinguished guest from that coun try with which our relations have al ways been so sympathetic and cor dial, and which have remained un changed since that, day when Japan chose us as her earliest friend." Among tho speakers besides the Admiral were: Oscar S. Straus, Sec retary of the ' Department of Com merce and Labor; Viscount S. Aokl. Ambassador from Japan to tho United States; Major-General Frederick D.' Grant, General Baron T. Kuroki, Rear-Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan, Vlce-Adnilral G. ljuin, the Rev. Dr. Charles E.

The ltev Mr. Clark was savod from the humiliation of dismissal from his pastorate, it is said, by tho women of tho congregation, who ral lied to his support and conducted a vigorous campaign in his behalf. They are said to have won a majority of the trustees and deacons over to lotting Pastor Clark down with ?n apology and a stinging rebuke. l'astyr Clark's apology and admis sion of wrongdoing as ollicially given out by the Prudential Committee at tho closo of their session is as fol lows: "To the Prudential f'onimittoo of Bushwlck Avenue Congrega tional Church: "(lentlemen?My professional con duct as a Congregational minister in performing a wedding ceremony at Hotel Cothnni, May 14. laving i> mi challenged, 1 desire to say that ui">u reflection I am convinced that with out intention 1 did a groat wrong to my ofilc3 a:i a Congregational minis ter, tp my church and to the Chris tian conception of the marriage rela tion.

Parks Cadman, of I ho Central Congregational Church, of Brooklyn, used some strong lan guage about Mr. Clark, although ho did not mention him by name. He referred to Mr. Clark as "one of our clergymen from Brooklyn who at tho witching hour of midnight so fai for got himself and prostituted his sacred office as to try to put tho sanction of God on a union begotten In filthl ness." Ho said: "It has fallen upon his own head, as it should." HUEF PLEADS GUILTY. San Francisco Hoss Sheds Tears ^a.s Ho Confesses Doodling.
