Lexington, June IS.?"Guilty" was W the verdict of the jury in the case o; rura the State against Godfrey E. Whitak- tabli er. a young man of the Swansea sec- try, tion of this county, who was charged nour with wronging the 17-year-old daugh- sigm ter of a well known Lexington county son . ' farmer. It took the jury less than mac! ten minutes to reach a verdict. Judge Ui Gary promptly overruled a motion for nate a new trial and imposed a sentence long of two years on the defendant. The hide case was appealed, the young man 01 . giving bond in the sum of $1,000. auto This was one of the most interest- Okla ing cases ever tried in the county? forn because of the prominence of the par- Pent ties connected, and because of the un- Thes usualness of the circumstances and road the Dosition taken by the defence, inau Four proffers of marriage were made T1 by the defendant during the progress ed b; of the trial, one at the conclusion of from the State's case yesterday; one be- 300. ! fore the case was given to the jury; in n one at the conclusion of the speech now of defendant's counsel, and the hide fourth immediately after the verdict ficial was rendered. Each time the young pens woman "turned down" the proposi- an a tion, upon the ground, she said, that the defendant was not sincere in his intentions; that he did not offer to Si marry her until after the warrant for his arrest had been made. In pronouncing* sentence Judge cottc Gary departed from his usual cus- ??at sive torn, and took occasion to lecture the givp? defendant. Judge Gary said in part: "Godfrey E. Whitaker. a jury of your tolui county has found you guilty of ruin- ^urs in?r a vrmnp- e-irl under a Dromise of 'n^s marriage. Under the testimony in enou this case I heartily concur in their findings. I do not wish to add any- reacl thing unnecessarily to your trouble; the s pithc or to harrow your feelings, but I wish to say this: That there is noth- imPa t ll0 ing more despicable than for a strong man to entice a young girl from the ^>een path of virtue and then desert her rout< in her hour of trouble. It is true * a* that after the law reached out its land hard hand for you, you have offered to I lean marry her, and you have continued to . offer to marry her; and at the same s sn time you disclaim the parentage of the child. In other words, your conduct is such as to create a well found- p ed suspicion on her part that you are not sincere in your offers: an^!<jrini such an offer as that to marry this nati( woman, and, at the same time dis-j^. ^ claiming the child, does not create for b much respect for your plea with the g0 court. I hope by the time you serve term the sentence which th$ law imposes jjerg you will have reflected on your con- vo(jk duct and that you will come back j p? and make a man of yourself. I do .. er t. not want to impose such a lengthy back sentence on you as will break you tiondown so you will have no chance in cons< life; and for that reason I will make { it lighter than I otherwise would agaij make in order that you may have remc time to come out and redeem your- grQu self-" I ! great OPPOSE LANDING OF AMERICANS.' torv i\Tche Says He Will Use Entire Forces Un- se'-~( der His Command if Necessary. ^ensf his S Nogales, Sonora, June 19.?Gover- ant ( nor Jose Maytorena authorized the man statement today that the entire force r"|irc under his command would be used if a ec necessary to resist the landing of eterE American marines on the west coast Hpcfl to protect foreign settlers of the Yaqui Valley. | the c A detachment of nearly 1.000; troops sent to the Yaqui Valley yes-; terdav, he said, was dispatched pri-ja^ai1 marilv to protect settlers and their: ou< crops from the Indians, but they had refu' orders to resist any landing of Ameri-i th*s. can millitary forces.

Sketch of English Corporation Almost as Strong as Government, "Lloyd's" is about as 6table an institution as the Bank of England in British estimation. In fact, it is almost as intimately connected with the financial business of the United Kingdom as is the "Old Lady of Threadneedle Street" herself, says the_ Providence Journal. And Lloyd's, which is ready to insure *V.a QrnticV* fl oot Q everv uuu&, uuui uic ?w?w against danger from the air or the water to a London baby against the whooping cough, is more in evidence than ever since the beginning of this great war. A1 at Lloyd's is a colloquialism frequently heard in England when one inquires from another, "How are you?" but its true meaning is a mystery to many people. It originated at Lloyd's, the great institution at the rear of the Royal exchange, which "Punch" once described as a place where "an ill wind blows nobody good." Edward Lloyd, believed to be the founder and name-giving godfather of this famous institution, kept a roffee house on Tower street in the latter part of the seventeenth century, which became a favorite resort of persons connected with shipping. \bout 1692, he removed his establishment to the corner of Abchurch lane and Lombard street, where it was liberally patronized by the shipping community, who used it as a rendezvous for the transaction of ?Miei?oQC Raip? nf vessels were iai ij u ? idvertised in the London Gazette, tv'ith the information that the inventories could be seen at Lloyd's coffee house. In 1 696. Lloyd estabished a tri-weeklv paper, devoted :o commerce and shipping, giving it :he title of Lloyd's News. But after in existence of not quite six months :he paper was suspended because of i trifling ofTence to the government. News letters, however, furnishing commercial and shipping intelligence, were regularly issued to the frequenters of Lloyd's establishment, which had already become the recognized headquarters of shipping people. In 1726 Lloyd's News was resuscitated in an improved form, under the title of Lloyd's List and Lloyd's cofTee house became the headquarters af maritime business, including maritime insurance. Lloyd's List is now the official publication of the great corporation known as Lloyd's. Since 1836, it has been published with the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, but it is intended to issue it as a distinct daily paper, with the latest movements of shipping and with commercial information. Illicit wagering and gambling polices were issued about 1700, and the more respectable frequenters of Lloyd's coffee house finally transferred their headquarters to Pope's head alley, which they called New Lloyd's, but after four years they established a new home at the Royal jxchange. The directors of Lloyd's, humbly styled "the committee for managing the affairs of the coffee house," exerted a far-reaching sway jver British commerce in those days, xnd we're acknowledged by the government as the head of a powerful nstitution. Prime ministers had to ceep on good terms with Lloyd's: reports of important events usually eached the cofTee house before geting to Westminister and Whitehall, so that the committee of Lloyd's assumed toward the government the josition of a power in the State. On May 25, 1871, royal assent was jiven to an act incorporating the nembers of the establishment or society formerly held at Lloyd's coffee n~?1 in fhfi louse, uie n.uvai cAvuaugc, ??? itv of London, "for the effecting of narine . insurance, and generally <nown as Lloyd's, and for other purposes." There are some 6">0 underwriting uembers of Lloyd's. They appoint ihout 100 agents, who write for hem in different syndicates, the later taking up risks in blocks.

In 1834, Lloyd's Register was ir stituted. It has become a bulky vo ume, containing full details of Bri ish ships, their classification, carrj ing capacity, engines and ownershi] and giving the name of the con mander. The Register is brougt up to date each week, and the con mittee responsible for the publicatio is composed of shipowners and m< is composed of shipowners and mei chants in the great British seaport: The committee has a surveyor in a the principal ports of the world. Th men, however. responsible fc Lloyd's Register are a separate bod from the great insurance corporatio known as "Lloyd's," which is virtua ly a business club. As the underwriters in the earl days at Lloyd's desired to know tb condition of ships before effecting a j insurance of the vessels or their cai I goes, they engaged captains to ir spect the ships. If a vessel wa sound in hull it was placed in Clas A. If satisfactory in equipmen which in the bygone days of woods sailing vessels included sails an ropes, it was classed Al. Since iro and steel superseded wood in th construction of vessels, differen classification has become necessary and "100 Al" is the highest cias for well constructed and equippe steamships. Second class vessels ar designated at "90 Al." and ship with a good hull, but not efficien equipment, figure in class A.

V if When the causes of short life nowr adays are counted up it is found that most of the deaths are due to dis~ ease. Very few people die from old s from any one disease is that theyr" from and one disease is that they :s have been weakened by other illnesses which they have had or which have been handed down to them by their ancestors. For example, one 1", widespread social scourge . which weakens the constitution of many r~ men and women was probably unknown in primitive times. 1_j To some of these diseases the hultj man race has become so accustomed that.it is immune. Measles will kill J ,%>: ? off a whole Indian tribe, but among !r j the white races it is only an annoyr" ing childhood malady. But the vas riatio'ns of disease increase far more H rapidly than the immunity. e Noah and the patriarchs didn't ir have nearly as many different kinds N . y of diseases to face because they had n not had enough ancestors to hand them down a variety. Consequently their constitutions were not constanty ly being weakened as are ours toe day. For example, there is no refern ence in very ancient literatures to a r- cold in the head. The Greeks and i- Romans seem to have been the first .s peoples to suffer from it. is The real reason why the patriarchs t, lived longer than we do now was ben cause in those days the fount of.hud manity was fresher. While immunn ity to certain diseases has been hande ed down to us by our parents, we it have also received the weakened vi*, tality which was theirs as a result s of their fight against disease. Sooner d or later the race will become imr'une e to tuberculosis, but with that ims munitv will come the diminishea t power as a result of mankind's long fight against the white plague.
