A pathetic sight was witnessed in the County Clerk’s office at Newport (Ky.), when a young man carried in his arms a legless young woman to the license.counter, and applied for a marriage license. The pair gave their names as John B. Rapp, Seattle, Washington, and Pearl Buppell, of Portland (Ind.). In the clerk’s office, Rapp placed her on the table while the document was being prepared by the clerk, during which time she chatted merrily with her fiance, and had all the appearance of a happy bride. The young woman’s legs were amputated as the result of a railroad accident. The American sailors of Admiral Sperry’s round-the-world fleet will not be permitted to break the hearts of the Japanese geisha girls if the Young Men’s Christian Association of Japan, the native Christian Churches and the missionaries are able to prevent it. Information from Tokio has been received at the headquarters of the Voung Men's Christian Association in New York that the Christian religious organisations of Japan are circulating petitions among the citizens of the Japanese cities which the men of the American fleet will visit, protesting against the old style of Japanese hospitality, which is expected to include introduction to the geisha girls. The object of the movement is announced to be a celebration more in keeping with American ideals. It is said to be desired that a precedent be established of eliminating geisha girls from entertainments in Japan. Have you tried Wolfe’s "Schnafps or kidney ailments.
