HE HANGED HIMSELF.
Godfrey Liese, the P. M. Railroad
Grossing Flagman, Takes
His Own Life.
Clare has been shaken up considerably the past two weeks, and scarcely
had the horror of the recent railroad
Wreck commenced to subside when, on
Monday morning, the report that
Godfrey Liese, the P. M. crossing flagman, had taken his own life, He
was found by Mrs. Liese standing at
the head of bis bed about eight
o'clock, and she thought nothing of
this, until she looked again, and noticing that he had not changed position
she thought something was wrong
and gave the alarm. Dr. Sanford
called and found tbe old man cold in
death. He used a small clothesline
and suspended himself from the bedpost at the head of the bed. Dr.
Sanford said he bad been dead from
Six to eight hours. A coronors jury
was empaneled by Justice A, W. Mc-
Intyre consisting of F. B. Doherty,
Byron Alger, A. E. Ganfleld, Wm.
Boss, David Fox and D. R. Johnson,
who brought in a verdict as above.
It is known by some that tbe old
man has bad serious domestic troubles
of late, and these, together with
brooding over the railroad accident,
were troubles more than he could
bear.
The funeral was couducted from
the home Thursday, Rev. Hathaway
officiating and tbe remains interred
in Cherry Grove cemetery.
Mrs. Chas. Kephnt and Mrs. T.
Fromm, two daughters from Detroit,
and Herman F. Liese and wife of
Chicago were in attendance at the
funeral.
Ex-Senator A. Gf. Smith writes
the Lake City Plain Dealer from 35Len-
drick, Idaho: "My reply has been
uomewhat delayed for the reason that
we live 35 miles- from our postoffices
over a worse road than you ever saw,
and sometimes'many weeks go by
without our getting our mail. Lumbering has not commenced here yet,
hut the prospects are good for it soon.
X think this white pine- belt the
finest now remaining jn the U. S., and
we expect business to boom when
lumbering begins,"

Cardinal Gibbons Accuses Her of
Being Largely Responsible
for the Wrecks of
Families.
"As 1 have said before, I regard woman's rights women and the leaders
in the new school of female progress
as tbe worst enemies of tbe female
sex." writes His Eminence, Cardinal
Gibbons, in The Ladies'Home Journal
for 3 anuary. ''They teach that which
robs woman of all that Is amible and
gentle, tender and attractive, and
which gives her nothing in return but
masculine boldness and brazen effrontery. While professing to emancipate
her from domestic servitude, they are
making her the slave of ber own caprices and passions. She never feels
at home except when abroad. When
she is at home, home is irksome to
her. She chafes and frets under the
restraint and responsibility of domestic life. Her heart is abroad. It is
exulting ih imagination, in some social
triumph, or reveling in some scene of
gayety and dissipation. Her husband
comes to his home to find 16 empty, or
occupied by one whose heart is void of
affection for him. Then arise disputes, quarrels,, recriminations, estrangements and the last act in the
drama is often divorce. I speak the
sober truth when I affirm that for
the wrecks of families in our country
woman* has a large share of the* responsibility."
Marriage Among  the  Australian
Savages,
Ethnological experts agree that
with most Australian tribes every woman is betrothed in infancy, or even
in anticipation of her birth. According to some mysterious law of theil
own this is arranged by the old mer.
of the family, the women having.no
voice in the matter. The age of the,
proposed husband is not taken into
consideration, so that it frequently
happens that by the time the girl is-
of a mirageable age her intended is an-
old man. If in the meantime some-
yonger man has set his heart upon her
this means a fight, in which the unfortunate bride-to-be, as she is dragged'
away, is certain'to come in for a share-
of the blows which the rival suitors'
deal out to each other.
In some of the coast districts,
where not ail the girls are promised in
infancy, the betrolthol of a young woman to a man who follows the occupation of a fisherman compels her to lose
the first joint of the little finger of
her left hand. This slow and painful
operation is performed by a stout
string bound tightly aboye the joint—
an engagement-ring with which one
would willingly dispenset A mirriage
license, equally unique, is commbto in
some sections, where the chief gives
to the prospective a peculiarly knofced
string, possessing which he is free to
seek the wife of his choice.-—January
