TRIAL IN MARRIAGE France Would Have America Experiment on System Before That Country.

IMPROVEMENT A SUCCESS. Chicago. Feb. in. France will let the United States experiment with trial marriages first, according to M. Henri Labroue. editor of the Temps, who is spending several days in Chicago 011 a tour across this country. He declared, as a matter of fact, all marriages in America even now are trial marriages, if what he has been told is true. "Adopt the idea in France? Ah. v.e will leave it to America to try it and if it is a success we may adopt it. I really think that some Improvement in the style of marriags might be a success. Styles in everything change, even In religion, so we may see the day when there will be a marriage a la mode" and an 'old style marriage." " Editor Labroue gallantly refuted the libel on Chicago women that they have large feet, which marks them apart from the rest of the world. "Ladies never have large feet." he declared, "and if they should be afflicted with that misfortune no one ever looks at the kind of women who would commit such a faux pas as having huge pedal extremities."

GIRLS INJURED IN FIERCE SCRAP College Girls Fight For Class Colors. Hearer, Pa., Feb. 10 Oirls at Beaver college who fought a class battle this morning are busy nursing bruises and mending torn dresses. The juniors and freshmen discovered the colors of the sophomores and seniors with the numerals 1910 flying from a pole on the chapel. Around the pole stood a guard of defenders, armed with sticks and clubs from the gym nasium. The younger class girls charged, but, outnumbered, were beaten back. At midnight Elizabeth Orissman, a freshman, daughter of the Rev. Geo. H. Orissman, president of the college, and Jane Crawford, a junior, stole to ward the pole. The guard, numb with the cold, had hunted a warm place in the chapel and was sound asleep. The two girls climbed to the flag pole with the agility of boys, and, tearing down the emblem, raised their own colors. This mornit the upper class girls replaced their flag by sheer force of numbers. The affair may cause suspensions. TWO PEOPLE KILLED BYJEADLY GAS Man and Woman Asphyxiated In Lodging House. Terre Haute. Ind., Feb. m The lifeless forms of Frank McGriff and Katie Zumpe were found on a bed in a lodging house Sunday. Escaping gas from a chandelier told the story of their death. After an investigation today the police are inclined to think that the asphyxiation was accidental and that there was no suicidal intent. ATTENTION B. P. 0. E.

TAGGART DEFENDS HIS ACTION III NOT GIVINGJUP KEYS Says That He Is Simply Following the Law and Wishes To End His Service to the City in a Legal Manner.

COMMON COUNCIL HAS TO " . SANCTION APPOINTMENT. Taggart Says City Ordinance Specifically States This and Quotes the Law No Feeling Against Merrill. Today City Clerk John F. Taggart issued a statement in which he de fends his action in refusing to give up j his office until the appointment of j C. W. Merrill has been confirmed at i a regular session of the city council. I VT Toinrai-Cu titutnmont nh(fH iii ' .ill. I o.feD0'1 I. o ' ' Km n 11. v Mti, . . ... self explanatory, follows: To- the Citizens of Richmond: In addressing this communication to the people of this city, it is my desire to simply state the fa-cts with refer ence to my resignation as city clerk and the appointment of my successor: The facts in the case are as follows: My resignation was presented in the following words: To the Mayor and Common Council of the City of Richmond: Gentlemen: I herewith tender my resignation as city clerk for the city of Richmond, and request that the same receive immediate consideration. In the tendering of my resignation, I desire to say that I have the kindest feelings for every person connected with the administration of city affairs, and also wish to express my sincere thanks to every city official and employe for the many courtesies extended to me while acting in the capacity of your clerk. JOHN F. TAGGART, City Clerk. Mr. Leftwick then moved that the resignation of Mr. Taggart be accepted when his successor is properly ajpointed and qualified. This motion prevailed. The following resolution was then unanimously adopted: "Resolved that the thanks of this council are due, and are hereby tendered to the retiring City Clerk John F. Taggart, for the uniform courtesy and efficiency with which he has administered his office during his incumbency thereof, and that the best wishes of council for his future welfare are hereby extended to him." The above is the action of the coun cil in the matter. On the Wednesday following the meeting of the council, a special meeting of the council was called, (and I might add in direct violation of the rules of the common council) at this meeting an effort was made by those interested in the appointment of Mr. Merrill, to have the appointment of Mr. Merrill approved. This the council would not do, but on the contrary adopted a resolution delaying the matter until the next regular meeting of the council. If those interested In the appointment of Mr. Merrill did not think, and in fact know that before my successor could assume the office the appro val of the common council was a nec essary requirement, why did they call this special meeting? The day following the meeting above referred to, Mr. Merrill came to my office and informed me that he had been appointed my successor, and that as soon as he could arrange for and procure the necessary bond, he would demand the office. I then asked him if the council had approved his appointment. He informed me that they had not, but that they would. I then informed him that as soon as the council approved his or anybody else's appointment as my successor, I was ready and perfectly willing to deliver the office, but until that action was taken I certainly would not relinquish the office. The following Saturday morning, Mr. Merrill again appeared and informed me that he had filed his bond and demanded the office, I again informed him that I did not consider him as properly appointed and would not therefore deliver to him the office. J Now my actions have been governjed entirely according to the statute governing such matters which reads as follows: Section 45 of the Acts of 1905: In the event of a vacancy occuringf in an elective office of any city, except the office of mayor or councilman, by reason of death, resignation or other cause, or in case of the dis BE A THINKER!

CRIMINAL BLACKS TOJOME NORTH Driven Out of South by Prohibition.

Minneapolis. Minn.. Feb. 10 Z. W. Mitchell, colored, supreme commander Loyal Legion of Labor, a negro order with 110 councils in the I'nited States today issued tils statement in Minneapolis: Within a few weeks, with the coming of warm weather, the north will be flooded with a horde of erimloil blacks driven forth from the south by the prohibition wave. Whites and Stacks of the north must meet this great problem. It will be merely the .shifting of the negro problem from the south to the north. The south has dodged it. The'north must face it." He declares Hooker Washington realized the new phae in this problem and that the latter's coming visit to Minneapolis will mark the opening of a campaign to prepare the north for the influx of black men from the south. ability of any such officer to perform the duties of his office, it shall be the duty of the mayor, or acting mayor, to fill such vacancy by appointment for the unexpired term, subject to the approval of the common council. From the above it can readily be seen that I could not take any other action than that which I have taken. In conclusion I desire to say that my actions are not actuated by any ill feeling toward Mr. Merrill, (for whom I have the very best feeling in the world) but with the view of terminating my connection with the present administration iu a proper and legal manner, and meriting the sentiments expressed in the resolution adopted by the common council.

The glassblowers of ancient Thebes are known to have been as proficient In that particular art as Is the most scientific craftsman of the same trade of the present day after a lapse of forty centuries of so called "progress." They are well acquainted with the art of staining glass and are known to Lave produced that commodity in Kreat profusion and perfection. Rossclini gives an Illustration of a piece of retained glass known to be 4.000 years old, both in tint and design. In this case the color is struck through the vitrified structure, nud he mentions designs struck entirely In pieces from a half inch to three-quarters of an Inch thick, the color being perfectly Incorporated with the structure of the piece and exactly the same on both the obverse and reverse sides. The priests of Ptah at Memphis were adepts In the glassmaker's art, and not only did they have factories for manu facturing the common crystal variety. but they had learned the vitrifying of the different colors and the Imitation of preclons stones to perfection. Their imitations of the amethyst and of the various other colored gems were so true to nature that even now, after they have lain in the desert sands from 2,000 to 4,000 years, it takes an expert to distinguish the genuine article from the spurious. It has been shown that, besides being experts in glessmaking and glass coloring, they used the diamond in cutting and engraving glass. In the British museum there Is a beautiful piece of stained glass, with an enjrraved emblazonment of the monarch Tbothmes III., who lived 8,400 years ago. THE ATMOSPHERE. First Attempt Welch It Was Mad br Aristotle. If we are to believe both legend and history, the first attempt to weigh air was that made by Aristotle, the great Greek philosopher of the fifth century. He first weighed an empty goatskin bag and then Inflated it and again put it in the balances, and because be found no difference in weight under the two conditions announced to the world that air was a substance wholly without weight. With modern laboratory apparatus most any high school scholar can demonstrate the fact that a flask of ten cubic Inches capacity weighs fully three grains more when filled with air than it does after being placed under the exhaust of an air pump. The numerous experiments that have been made on the weight of air warrant the scientists in announcing that the weight of the whole terrestrial atmosphere Is about equal to that of a solid copper ball sixty-two miles la diameter. The philosophers have also shown that the weight of the atmosphere must be limited to where gravity overcomes the centrifugal fore. If it were of equal density throughout its height above the earth, it could not extend a greater altitude than 27.S18 feet, which would leave about 1.200 feet of Mount Everest sticking out above the atmosphere, It is a well known fact, however, that air loses its weight and density as we ascend frpm the sea level, and calculations which have been made on that basis go to show that there may be a stratum of very thin air at a height of 21.000 miles.
