GRAND RAPIDS, © + — x | quay giving over 800 yards of shipping The Romantic Story Which Will Eed || in a Wedding at an Early Date, — There is a bit of romance in the love story of George D. Merriam, whose parents formerly lived in Laporte, Ind., and who is a relative of Gen. Henry C. Merriam, and Mary L. Crawford, one of Laporte’s most popular young so- ciety women. When they first met, over two years ago, it was a case of “love at first sight.” Each was under 20 and family interests forbade an en- gagement. The young people were put upon a term of probation. Young Merriam went west and was at Spo- kane wlien the Spanish war broke out. He wrote from there that he intended joining one of the regiments for the Philippine service. As this was the last letter Miss Crawford received from him, she naturally supposed he had gone to the Philippines. A few months ago Miss Crawford saw an account of the death of an American soldier at Manila whose name was G. D. Merriam. The shock prostrated her, and she became dan- gerously ill, but after a number of weeks she recovered, and when strong enough wrote to Merriam’s parents at Spokane, Wash., condoling with them and assuring them that her love | for their son would live forever. The return post brought the astounding intelligence that George D. Merriam had never been a member of the United States army or volunteers, had not been in the Philippines and was then hard at work at college, where he would be graduated at the end of | the present year. Miss Crawford’s embarrassment was great, for she had opened her heart unreservedly to the | parents of the man she loved, but joy overcame her embarrassment, and she faced the situation bravely. Investiga- tion revealed the fact that a false friend of Merriam had caused him to cease writing to Miss Crawford, but | he speedily effected a reconciliation. It is understood by the friends of both parties that their engagement will be | announced immediately after young | Merriam is graduated. BUY SPANISH SHOES. Many American Soldiers in the Phile | ippines Are Wearing the For- eign Made Article. Many American soldiers in the Phil-) ippines are wearing Spanish made! shoes. This strange fact was brought to light by a letter written by the} French consul! at Manila to his govern- | ment, a copy of which has reached the war department. It says: " “Shoes form one of the chief articles of commerce at Manila sinee the en- trance of the American troops. The} large number of regulars or volunteers | are forced to constantly renew their footwear. So far Spanish manufac- turers have mainly profited by this | trade. The few tailors now established | } in this city have been overwhelmed with orders which, for want of capable workmen, they have been unable to ful- fill. The American army to-day forms their chief clientele. Uniforms ot white, and especially khaki, are made everywhere in proportion as troops ar- rive from the United States or return to Manila from the front, Suits of cloth or light wool are ordered from the few European tailors, It is diffi- | cult to find out just what the amount of importation of these cloths is, but the kind made in France is too heavy for this climate. A light woolen cloth ought. to be especially manufactured for tropical countries, where the warm and moist temperature requires the use of materials extremely thin, but at the same time calculated to ward off chills.” MODERN MEXICO DEVELOPS. Vast Schemes of Internal Improve- ment Are Now Reported Well » Under Way. About all the machinery and equfp- ment material for the electrical trac- tion system adopted for an extensive system of street railroads at the City of Mexico and in the federal district is being bought in the United States. Electricity will be first applied to the suburban lines and then to the principal city lines. Electric ‘cars are now running to Tacubaya and also to Guadaloupe, just outside of which is the shrine for all Mexican Catholics. Pilgrims now go out there propelled by a modern motor. : Sir Weetman Pearson, M.

AU the breakwaters have been completed for every effec- tive purpose and a new deep water space will be completed in six months, allowing ships drawing over 80 feet of water a chance to discharge their cargoes alongside the pier, their freight going directly into railroad cars or warehouses, Sir Weetman says the port works will make Vera Cruz as fine an arti- ficial harbor as any on the continent of America, Too Soon to Judge. ‘The New Yorker who has talked his last will into a phonograph may sup- pose that he has got ahead of the law- yers, but there are experienced liti- gants, says the St. Louis Dispatch, who will not jump at any such conclusion. ‘Warm Weather Then. — _ When the ice trust raises its prices, says the Philadelphia Ledger, nobody will care to be the iceman who will have to face the indignant housewives.
