Laporte, lad. An interesting question, determining the legal stains of marriage of couples in Indians outside of the counties wherein the principals reside, Will be determined in .Judge Biddle's court. Benjamin W. Carroll and O.ema L. Bowman of Valparaiso were married here last Saturday. The officiating clergyman returned the certificate of marriage to the county clerk's office, where its legality was questioned. The argument drifted into Judge Biddle's court, and a test case is to be made, the attorneys holding that a strict compliance vith the law regulating registration would render the marriage invalid. The question of legality of marriage will prevent marriages of eloping couples here, and a decision of the court may establish a precedent which may regulate marriages In all sections of the j täte.

ATJTHOB BLACKMORK

NEARING THE END OF A HIGHLY USEFUL CAREER. The ritcr of "I.orua Doone" as He Appear in Hi Old Ar - I.ovr for the Novelists of Bygone- Dayi One of 1IU ('liract erNt ten. D. BLACKMORE has passed his seventy-third birthday in good health. The always bewitching "L o r u a Doone" was writ ten nearly forty years ago. yet it is yJmf& il 8010 111 r iSSSjy thousand. Even the auth or is amazed at its continued success, evinced among many ways by the naming of ships and coaches after it. "Oh. that book!' he exclaims, annoyed if it is mentioned in his presence. "It is a pity it was ever written; it ought to be destroyed'"- tor he is tired of hearing about it. An English friend writes of him that he has an intense dislike to the modern 'interview." and the word "boom" is to him accursed, and he adds: "In all Mr. Blac kmore's work ihi re is clean manliness an geniality that ever emanates from him when in his presence, a fine hatred of humbug, and a sharp insight into characters, espec ially rural character. His books are tinged with the humorousarcasm that ripples from his lips when you are talking with him. "He has a great love and respect for the giants in literature of his own early days. In his latest work. Dariel.' he exclaims: Who is the most delightful writer of our race since Heaven took Shakepeare in hot haste, w hen his hand was too close on the Tree of Life'? The answer, although so long in coming, comes louder as every year adds to the echo. "William Makepeace Thackery.' and in a handy position on R.

Mr. lilac kmoi" lives among his trees and flowe rs and glass hjuses. His room looks out on a dark line of cedars, contrasting with the delicate I race ry and soft green of the birch. For overy forty years he has lived in this home ai Teddlngton. When he bought ii the place was a village, with a village poatmistrsas and a vicarage embowered in flowers. Now the great wen London hay spread over it. and a railway station is at his door: though his trees hide all buildings, the hubbub of life pierces the-j." HouIot's Friend, Lord d la Warr. Lord de la Warr. whose name has become well known through the Hooley scandals, is not yet thirty years old, yet he has had a varied and in some respects remarkable career. At first he tried the inviting but difficult game of diplomacy, and failed. Then he went out as a commissioner on pearl fishing for a well-known Jeweler. Then he tried telegraphy. But he ha been signally suc cessful in nothing. In person Lord de la Warr is tall, thin, with a small, light mustache and slightly bent shoulders. When a boy he used to play with the dukes of Clarence and York. Hide-and-seek WS -their favorite amusement . The Wales hoys also wanted to win, and being bigger and older they occasional I) found it convenient to use a little healthy coercion. And once the dUtte of York soundly thrashed Lord dp la Warr because he would not let him win. From present appearances it looks as though Hooley were also thrashing Lord de la Warr for not letting him win. A Tryluif Duty. "It was the grave digging," says a soldier quoted by the Worcester Gatette, "that broke down many of the boys. Nothing could be more disheartening than to take the body of a dead comrade out and tight off the buzzard while digging the grave. It Is bad enough to hear the earth rattle down on the top ol a coffin containing the form of a comrade, but is shx-k-lng to put an uncoffined form into the ground and pile the dirt OB top of it. Thu men detailed for burials were easily disheartened, and the soldier who lost heart was a candidate for an anrly burial." Not Oulte. "What do they call the microbes that breed diseases, John?" "Please sir. germs." "Correct -and what do they call the people who know how to handle germs In a scientific way?" "Please sir, Germans." Ally Sloper.

THE KHALIFA.

The Life and Characteristic! of the VagftlvcB Drvtaa hier. Abdullah et Taish Khalifa, whose power has been broken by the Britisa forces ander General Sir Herbert Kitchener, was the most powerful and successful of the three Khalifas of the three leading Arab tribes, that in 1S help,i th Mahdi to overthrow the government of Egypt in the eastern Soudan and establish the Mahdisc despotism in its place. Each of these Khalifas commanded a distinct section of the- Mahdis army, and Abdullah's force had most to do with the annihilation of General Hicks and his army. Abdullah was the favorite of his master. The Mahdi believed that if he died Abdullah was the only man who could maintain the strange empire he had raised and keep the upper hand of t he rapacious Soudanese tribes. Before his death the Mahdi nominated the Khalifa Abdullah as his accessor, and thus the cruel and tyrannical Arab tribe of the Bagarafl whose leader was Abdullah, became the masters of the Hayptdan Soudan and ruled it with a rod of iron. The Mahdi died on June 22. 1SS5. after three years of power, ami Abdullah : has since been known as "the Mah- ' .li s successor." There was Intense jealousy and disappointment on the part of tiie Hanagla and Jaalin tribes, who bad been the rulers, but now became the ruled. Civil war on account of Abdullah's accession was narrowly averted, but he was too strong for his enemies in the other tribe, and they Anally chose the part of discretion Just w hen ail had been made ready for battle. The new ruler then made it Iiis business to render the other tribes harmless. He reduced the power of the i WO other Khalifas, and they beame men of little influence. He sent many of Hie Jaalin and Danagla Bmira in chains hundreds of miles up the .Nile, and he permitted his Baggaia to plunder the other tribe? without mercy, under the pretext of levying taxes. There has been only one ruler of the Soudan for the past thirteen years, and he has been the Khalifa Abdullah. He maintained lüs policy of cruelly repressing ail the b?op!e except his own tribe, until he was frightened vety badly by the news that England and Egypt were getting ready to invade the country and overthrow his power. After that news reached Omdurman he mad- a great show of reversing his policy. He pardoned the imprisoned Bmira and ;ried in many ways to win back the disaffected people. The Khalifa's empire, within whic h not a part ic h' of European Influence lias permeated since tiie Mahdi captured Khartoum, extends along the Nile from Dongola on the north to the neighborhood of Lado on the south, a distance of about thirteen hundred miles. Omdurman, the capital, just ac ross the Nile from the ruins of Khartoum, is about midway between these points. The Khalifa lost DaifUr, but still his empire extends from the western limits of Kordufan :o Abyssinia on the east, and embraces about Too.uoo square miles, i hiring the thirteen years he lias controlled the dentin ics of the Egyptian Soudan it la estimated thai nearly three-fifths of its inhabitants have perished through war and famine. Constant warfare has greatly diminished the male population. KEENE TURNED THE TABLES. Several Wall street men, Mr. James R. Keene among them, combined ?on;e lime ago to get control of the stock of tic tobacco trust Their understanding waa fhat none of them was to seil any of the sdoek until it had reached its highest possible figure, and then all were to sell at the same time. Ten days ago Keene discovered that this agreement was not being lived tip to by some of his colle agues. They were beginning to sell on the quiet, ii is said, as soon as the stock reached JAS. R. KKHNE. 1"44. As soon as Mr. Keene discovered this he gave orders for the sale of his own holdings and before the other members of the clique wero aware of whal was happening Keene had made $1,566,666. By that time the tobacco l rust's stock was down to USfe, having declined Sttf points. Itaeful New lints. Moat of the girls look very neat In those new style campaign hats.

currn: for cold feet.

limpid Means o- Avui.iing a CLc-iuu-j Winter A hint ion. Before many mure day- shall hare lapsed not a few Chicago women will 'r suffering from a complaint which cakes the shortest journey out of I i rs : terror and thUfl aggravates the U lie when going abroad becomes :na voidable. Cold feet are not un- ' n even in warm weather, but :he suffering at such times is mild, while in the fall and winter it is little a than torture, A doctor who was consulted on the subject has this to say: "Physical disorders of the most ii eXp, , ; nature are traceable to this zomplaist. It can he safely said that i large proportion of lung diseases: are lue in cold feet. The blood repelled m the extremities goes to the lungs congests them. Asthma arises from ;.ie same cause, aud brain and troubles can sometimes be traced to habitually cold feet. I don't say thai women are wholly to blame for lis a t'tlic tion, becau.-e that is not true, rii cause is often traced back to child- " 1 !, When thin stockings and shoe 00 small for growing feet prevented 1 propei c irculation of the blood. Anl s,n. p rhaps wore garters which had ;o tight to do their duty, and when th y reached womanhood the mischief had hi on fully done. They were then Obliged to suffer on. ii they knew nough, to mitigate their suffering by such sensible remedies as rubbing and warm bathing, with a proper regard for the covering of the feet. Wear woolen, cotton or silk stockings, according to yooi comfort If the feet are prone to be dry as well aa cold they should he soared in hot water for ten minutea every night, thoroughly dried and rubbed with a small quantity of sweet oil. bestowine special attention upon the soles. Nothing that ran keep ih feet comfortable shouiu be considered a trouble, as. aside from the fact of their affecting the physical condition, their relation to the nerves mast be considered. Tronhle with the feet means a nerve-wearing strain. The following has sometimes proved a simple cure for cold feet: Stand erect and gradually lift yourself to the tips of the toes, coming to the natural portion in the same easy manner. Repeal this exercise several times each day and the circulation of the blood must be Improved. Diet has something to do with the degree of improvement, and afflicted women are advised to shun much salted meat, pies and rich puddings." THE PAROT IN TRADE. I'sed by a Collector to Bnwl I'crtiueut TMssr ASKmt Drbt. "No use to dun 'era! Xo n&e to dun ' m! They're deadbeats!" These v da, uttered in shrill, piercing tones, attracted a crowd in the vicinity of Lincoln park. A well-dressed young man emerged from the vestibule of a residence, where he had been conversing with a woman, and rushed down the steps to a covered buggy in front of the house. "Xo use to dun 'em! No use to dun 'em! They're deadbeats!" "Quiet. Polly! Shut your month." cried the young man as he removed from the seat of the vehicle a large cage containing a particularly vicious looking parrot. After several times repeating its uncomplimentary protests the bird finally subsided and Its master reascended the steps to the vestibule, from which he soon emerged with some bank notes in his hand. "It's an original scheme of my own," explained the young man a little later, "and I'll explain the scheme if you keep it mum. Sometime ago I was connected with an agency that employed uniformed collectors and yellow wogons.objoct being to intimidate the debtor, who would pay a just bill rather than be disgraced by having self-ad-vertising bad debt collectors calling upon him every day. After time legal proceedings were taken by a disgusted debtor who had been persistently annoyed, and the wagons and uniforms were promptly suppressed. But are deadbeats to escape paying their just dues on Lhat account? I thought not. and recently devised the plan I am now carrying into execution. People whose names are on the blac klist are generally shrewd enough to understand the situation and a settlement is at once made or arranged for. I have been jperaiing for over a month, and In but one instance has Polly been called upon to repeat her well rehearsed act. I am told that complaints have been made to the police and I must make hay while the sun shines. Good day." ' 'By-by! I'm a bird, 1 am!" shrieked the parrot, as the enterprising collector drove briskly away. Often the iy. "Why, these are not he shoes 1 oflered," exclaimed the lady of the house, with extreme vexation. "This is a pair of expensive French kid. 1 can not afford such shoes as these." "Peg pardon, madam." said the messenger, respectfully, "but vou've opened the wrong package. This pair is yours. The other was ordered by the house maid." A pi: Nsaoa "Ho yon think that women are much Influenced hy a man's personal appearance." asked one young man. "I should say so." replied the youth with a pea, -by Complexion and curly hair.
