It30tf iCUT THIS OUT.l -Va I TWO COUPONS i uA.2>TJD 5 i FimEN CENTS Attorney U. A. Wintemitz Explains a Queer Complication of Law an the Marriage Licenw Act. A ews reporter learned Wednesday morning that no marriage license was now in Pennsylvania and in order to verify the report applied to Attorney B. A.

Winternitz who said: marriage licensee were required in Pennsylvania until the act of 18S5 wae passed which provided that from and after the 1st day of liSS5. No'person should be joined in marriage in this commonwealth until a license should have been obtained from the clerk of orphans court of the county where the marriage is performed. It seems that the Legislature at its last session undertook to amend this law so as to permit licenses to be issued by the clerk of the orphans court in the county where either of the contracting parties reside. The amending act provide that from and after October shall be joined in commonwealth until a licflie shall hSVe been obtained for that purpose from a clerk of Court, etc. It is a well settled rule of construction of Statues that the amending act must be read into the original act and that from its passage it becomes part of the original act and must be construed as part of it.

This would then be the same as though the original act has provided that no person after OHoherlUt, ISitS, shall be joined in marriage without a license, If this reasoning be correct, then no marriage licenses are required in this State until after Oct. 1st, LABOR.

HE CAN FEEL NO PAIN. A West Indian TTho Makes Nothing Being by Thiee reputable phj'sicians of Mobile recently made some experiments on tlii person of a man named Lartado, a live of Trinadad. This man seeminglj is a wonder. He appears to be iitterl-y oblivious to the sensations of heat and cold, and, in fact, experiences no feeling of pain, even when imdergoing treatment that would cause an ordinary man untold agony. He is twenty- four years old, is five feet seven inches in height, weighs one hundred pounds, and is perfectly sound mentally and physically.

His father was a Spaniard and his mother an English woman. A correspondent of the New Orleans Times-Deraocrat witnessed the man run through his neck down to and grazing the trachea a piece of steel wire one-eighth of an inch in diameter, to wdiich a most powerful galvanic battery w-as attached and shifted from one current to another without any perceptible pain, but with acceleration of pulse. He passed another large steel wire into his mouth and through his cheek, in all directions, and no blood flowed. Another largo wire was passed through and through the large muscles of the calf of the leg and between the biceps muscle, in line with the brachial artery, and through the arm above the wrist, between the two bones of the arm, and other like experiments iu different parts of the body, all of which with seeming'ly no pain and no bleeding from any place but a drop from the neck. In fact, each of the opening-s made by the instrument closed up as bloodless and as easily as if the man was constructed of India rubber.

The physicians present declared that it was the most wonderful exhibition of freedom from all pain they had ever witnessed. The man never flinched during" any of the experiments, the instruments were jabbed into him with no more consideration than if he had been a watermelon. CHILD SLAVERY IN SICILY. WIND AND ELECTRICITY. The Wind Is und Windmills Plenty.

Serious attempts are now being made I to utilize electrically another of the forces of power. Thousands of windmills are now in use in the United States, the New I York Post, especially in rural districts and on country estates, but hitherto their usefulness has been restricted to pumping, drainage, irri'jation, etc. Apparatus is now being that it is hoped will be a valuable adjunct in windmill plants. It is stated that throughout this country an average rate of seven and three-quarter miles per hour, of the wind, can be depended on, and this being- the case anyone with a windmill can have electric lighting by hitching on a small dynamo and a few storage batteries. An experimental plant at Jersey City comprises a windmill, which, with a diameter of feet and a speed of twenty miles an hour, is capable of delivering three horse power.

The dynamo has a maximum capacity of thirty-live amperes at thirty-iive volts, I and is brought into play whenever an I eight-hour breeze is blowing. It then 1 charges the battery, wdxile a special switch prevents the battery discharg- Ing, when the speed falls off. i The dynamo occupies a floor space of only thirty inches square and 1s but fifteen inches high. The storage cells charged by it furnish current abundantly for incandescent lamps. The opportmiities for such outfits appear innumerable, if the ratufc prove efficient and trustworthy.

MISSING in Shocklntr Condition of Affairs In the Sulphur Mines at An investigation has been set on foot regarding the sulphur mines oi Girgenti. The researches reveal a fearful state of things. Each miner working at the vein has as assistants or one or two children, whose duty it is to carry the broken mineral to the surface. These children are bought from their parents for one hundred or one hundred and fifty francs; so long as that sum is not returned the child belongs to the miner, is his personal slave, in fact. Twfelve hours a day these poor wretches labor, carrying upon their backs heavy loads to the surface.

A little bread and some raw onions are all the food which these children, whose ages vary between eight and fifteen years, have to support life upon. At night they sleep upon the hard floor of a oave. Their skin hangs in rags from their shoulders, their bodies are covered with sores, their backs bent, their limbs twisted, their foreheads -wrinkled, and their eyes are sunken in their sockets. Death alone can set them free, and the barbarous treatment of their often accelerates this fatal Issue.

New Process with Fruit The diffusion process of extracting I from fruit is gaining ground. It has long been applied in France in the extraction of beet-root juice for sugar, and it is now used in making cider without a cider mill or a cider press. in cru.shing and pressing the apples the pure fruit juice is not obtained, for much albuminoid matter is extracted with It from the cells.
