Coffen, the only Demo- crat that ever represented Wyom- ing in Congress, died a few days ago in Sheridan, Wyoming, aged seventy-on- e. Mr. Coffen's doctor while at- tending him was stricken with pa- ralysis and is dangerously ill. A woman's law class at New York University is probably uniquo in that it is not Intended to prepare women for the practice of law, but to give them sufficient legal knowledge to conduct the administration of trust estates and other forms of business. Three persons were killed and eight injured, several probably mortally, when an express train known as the Atlantic City Flyer, on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, ran into an automobile stage at a grade cross- ing near Perth Amboy, N. J., Satur- day. Nevada's new divorce law provides that service by publication instead of in person may result in the setting aside of a decree within six months.

Flynn, of New York, was Tuesday appointed chief of the United States secret service by Sec- retary of the Treasury MacVeigh suc- ceeding John E. Wilkie, now chief supervising agent of the customs ser- vice. Flynn was former deputy po- lice commissioner of New York. A revival of the days of the Ku Klux Klan occurred at Dalton, Ga., Friday, when a band of masked and robed men took John Watkins from his home to the center of the town, where he was given a severe whip- ping with hickory switches.

Montgomery, register of voters of the city of New Orleans, was Friday adjudged guilty of con- tempt and sentenced to ten days in jail for having violated an injunction forbidding the erasure of names from the registration roll just prior to the recent general election.

Pellagra is spreading in the United States, and in the six years it has claimed not less than 30,000 victims with a fatality rate in excess of 40 per cent, according to a report of the Public Health Service at Washing- ton, D. C. The report gives these figures by States for the period of 1907-191- 1: North Carolina reports cases 2,412; deaths, 1,067; rate, 44 per cent. case in his court where the testimony is not likely to be of an embarrassing nature. He said that women had more time for jury duty than men. In commemoration of the one hun- dred and twenty-fift- h anniversary of the framing of the Constitution of the United States, the Pennsylvania Society of New York held its four- - teenth annual dinner Saturday to- night, with James Bryce, the retiring British Ambassador, as the guest of honor. A feature of the dinner was the presentation of gold medal to Mr. Bryce. A Nation-wid- e campaign is to be waged by the Junior Order of Unit- ed American Mechanics for free text- books in the public schools, compul- sory education laws and laws com- pelling the raising of the flag over all school-house- s. Councilors of the organization from praetically every State who were in session in Wash- ington a few days ago will map out the plan of campaign. Women suffragists in New York held a rally Tuesday at suffragette headquarters in preparation for tho proposed 140-mi- le walk to Albany to storm the capital in favor of votes for women. The women marchers leave New York Monday and will walk by easy stages. They will de- liver a message demanding woman suffrage when Governor-elec- t Sulzer takes the office January 1. Alleging that her husband, James M. Langley, one of the wealthiest citizens in Greenville County, South Carolina, had whipped and otherwise mistreated her, Mrs. Lizzie Cox Lang-le- y several days ago brought action against him for legal separation and alimony. At the date set for the hearing Monday Langley decided to pay his wife $6,000 for the whipping and stop the case in court. What is declared by literary ex- perts to be one of the most remark- able documents ever published by the Government has just been issued by the Government Printing Office. The publication, known as the "check list," records every publication of the Government from its foundation down to and including 190b. The work contains more than 1,800 pages. Approximately fifteen years was re- quired in its preparation. The "check list" will be placed in every import- ant library in the United States. A decision of great importance to the Royal Arcanum, involving the matter of increases in insurance rates, has been handed down by the Court of Appeals of New York. The court holds that the Royal Arcanum had not acted legally in raising the insurance assessment of Samuel Green, a lawyer, in Brooklyn. The original assessment must stand, says the court. This decision will no doubt cause thousands of other members of the Order to demand rebates on the increased assessments they have paid. Sidna Allen, leader of the moun- tain clan who shot up Judge Massie's court room at Hillsville, Va., last spring, was found guilty on a second charge in connection with his part in the murders and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. A compro- mise in the further prosecution of Sidna Allen and of Wesley Edwards, who has not yet been tried, was af- fected. Sidna agreed to accept fif- teen years for the killing of Sheriff Webb, making his total imprison- ment thitry-fiv- e years, and Edwards accepted an aggregate of twenty-seve- n years. This closes the cases. Repeal of the last of the Civil War "disability" statutes was endorsed by the United States Senate Saturday, when an amendment offered by Sen- ator Johnston, of Alabama, to the omnibus claims bill was adopted, re- pealing the section of the revised statutes which prohibits the auditing of the claims of regular army officers who resigned to enter the Confeder- ate Army. There are about 150 of such claims which are generally for longevity pay. Among those repre sented are the heirs of Generals Rob ert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jo- seph E.
