J ^ Can Child Bride Attend School? * Cincinnati, March 2.?Shall a girl \ f 12 years be barred from the pub- J lie schools of this city because she is married?

She was wedded "\ V to Frank Stump, an Italian, two i weeks ago. c The Drincinal feature of the oues- i - f tion that is troubling the officials is i whether it would be for the best in- i terests of the school children attend- a ing a primary school to be brought 2 into daily contact with a pupil who ( has assumed the duties and respon- 1 sibilities of matrimony. < The officials have taken the matter under advisement, but in the j meantime Mrs. Stump is attending ! the first grade in a local primary ; / school. 1 Boost and see Bamberg grow. $ GOT DRUNK, GOT MARRIED. And When He Got Sober He Wanted a Divorce. Columbia, Feb. 28.?Attorney Geo. K. Kemoert, representing tne piaiutiff, appeared before Judge Robert E. Copes in Richland court and asksd for an annulment of the marriage Df Walter T. Reckling and Alma Williams. The defendant made no response after the notice was served md the case was referred to Mr. A. D. McFadden, master in equity, who sv*as instructed to take testimony and make a report of his findings. The annulment was sought on the grounds that Reckling was intoxicated at tft time of the marriage; that the woman took advantage of his condition, and that when he recovered his mind he repudiated the marriages and refused to recognize the matrimonial bond. It is further iharged against the woman that she las a lawful husband living and that 3he is furthermore a woman of notorious character. The marriage from which Reckling is seeking relief took place on the night of December 11, ast. Lamp Makers Prosecuted. Cleveland, O., March 3.?Followng a consultation between Judge iV. S.

Glass Company to Sue Dispensary! Commission Individually. Columbia, March 3.?It is an-j nounced that the Carolina Glass Company, of this city, will sue the dispensary commission. "We will sue the members individually for the last amount and will carry the case to the United States j Supreme Court for a decision." This statement was made to-day, by W. <H. Lyles, chief counesl for the Carolina Glass Company, of this city, when asked as to whether the South Carolina dspensary commission had agreed to return the $17,000 recently held up by the commission. Several weeks ago following the decision of the Supreme Court in the | Carolina Glass case, attorneys for the company proposed to the commission to abandon the appeal to the United States Supreme Court, provided the commission return the $17,000 taken in Richland County as being due to the glass company. "We take it for granted," said Mr. Lyles, "that the commission will not agree to our proposition, as they have not acted upon the matter, and we will most certainly carry the case to the United States Supreme Court." The Richland County dispensary owed the Carolina Glass Company $17,000 for glass delivered. This amount was seized by the commission. The decision of the supreme court gave the commission the right to take over all moneys due by the county dispensaries to the glass company, but refused to give the commission the right to sell the property of the glass company for an alleged overjudgment. Last year the commission found an overjudgment of approximately $51,000 against ithe glass company. Practically all this amount has been received by the commission. A claim by the glass company of about $23,000 was wiped out and* the action sustained by the supreme court. An additional $6,000. due by county dispensaries to the glass company, was taken over. Itt was not stated by Mr. Lyles just what proceedings would ut: msuiuicu. Will Seek Pardon. Atlanta, Ga., March 3.?Pressure will be brought to bear on Gov. Brown to pardon Edgar Stripling, chief of police of Danville, Va., who was arrested at Danville yesterday and brought as far as Atlanta to-day on his way to Harris county, Georgia, to begin serving a life sentence for killing W. J. Cornett 14 years ago. Prominent citizens of Atlanta are lending their influence to the movement which was begun by friends of Stripling soon after he arrived here in custody of officers at noon to-day. Under the name of R. E. Morris, Stripling has been chief of police at Danville for five years and was expecting to be reelected for another term at a meeting of the city council of Danville to-night. Those who have joined the movement for a pardon for him say his manner of life since he escaped from jail in Harris county soon after being convicted of the killing of Cornett has gone far to atone for the crime and they express confidence that the governor will grant the pardon. He is being held in jail here pending application for a pardon and action by the governor. Liquor Bill for Alabama. 0 Montgomery, Ala., March 3.?At 8:45o'clock to-night the house of representatives pased the Smith bill, which regulates the sale of liquor in Alabama by a vote of 58 to 27. The bill had been considered in committee of the whole practically all day, the prohibitionists leading the filibuster against the measure. Walker Percy, of Birmingham, offered an amendment fixing the saloon license in Jefferson county at $3,000, and the number of saloons one for every 3,000 inhabitants. It was adopted. The Smith bill fixes the license in Mobile and Montgomery at $1,500 and in Mobile one saloon to every 750 people, and in Montgomery one to every 1,000. Excise boards are created to control the sale of liquor and the Wiley pure food regulations are adopted to govern the quality of liquors to be sold. This measure is said to the most stringent ever enacted in any State in the Union. Scores Alabama's Governor. Montgomery, March 3.?'Representative Walker Percy, of Birmingham, excoriated Gov. O'Neal in an impassioned address of two hours in the house this afternoon. He charged the governor with selfishness, lack of patriotism and fairness and "an abstruse ignorance of the first princi pies of the appointing power." He acused the executive of trading the appellate court appointments to get votes for his liquor bills, and for violating his word to the people of Alabama in appointing political friends without considering their efficiency. The governor's course he characterized as "pretty cheap, pretty small and pretty discreditable politics." V . ' 2 . ' ... ' ik ../"v <- % 17-YEAR-LOCUSTS COMING. Will Make Appearance in States East of Allegheny Mountains. All the States east of the Allegheny mountains, from New England and New York south to South Carolina, are to be visited this year by the 17year-locusts, according to a bulletin issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. In addition to the 17-year kind a brood of 13-year locusts is expected this year in the lrmror h?alf nf Miacicairmi Vflllpv. extending southward from middle Indiana and Illinois as far eastward as central Tennessee and westward to Kansas and Oklahoma. The Agricultural Department has records of the visitation of the 17year variety for almost two centuries. It has been reported in Connecticut regularly every 17 years since 1724 and in New Jersey since 1775, while almost equally long records have been kept in other States in the territory affected. Studied the Pests. At the last appearance in 1894 careful study of the 17-year locust was made in New Jersey and New York, but some of the records obtained in Southern States were doubtful, especially in North Carolina, because of the simultaneous appearance of a brood of 13-year locusts, which are mistaken in many localities for the 17-year kind. The bulletin says: "It is therefore very desirable that all observers in South Carolina report occurrences this year of the \1year locusts to clear up these doubtful records." Some Will be Here. There seems to be some doubt as to whether the brood will reach as far south as South Carolina, although some scattering locusts-may at least be expected Meets Horrible Death.

A band of about 500 is reported to have been surrounded in a compound and burned to death. The refugees had taken possession of Kunshan and for two days ransacked the stores of everything eatable, killing or wounding all who resisted. When the raiders moved on to plunder the next village the Kunshan people held a council of war and offered to pursue the fugitives. They came up with them in a small village and surrounded the houses. The gates were locked and the houses fired. More than 500 perished in the holocaust. The refugees brought five prisoners into the compound in view of the besiegers and threatened to kill them unless the siege was raised and on the villagers pressing them back to the burning buildings they slowly backed the five men to death Three other prisoners were tied to stakes in the burning building and were burned with the captors.
