Elaborate Marriage Certificate. The marriage certificate which the Rev. Daniel Russell, pastor of the Irv- ington Presbyterian church had pre- pared to present to the bride after the wedding was unusually elaborate and interesting. The certificate is of sheepskin, illuminated and lettered by Miss Lucille Townsend, librarian at Irvington, after a special design made | in New York. The certificate bears this verse from the fifth chapter of | Atlantic fleet, Monroe, Va. the Twenty Ephesians: » “Let evervone of vou in particular so love his wife, even as himself, and her the wife see that she reveren: husband.” Will Continue Philanthropies. In various ways it has been mated that the philanthropic wo which Miss Gould has been prominent ! nce she came into millions left b her father is not in the least to affecte@ by their marriage. The for- tune which she inherited was about and, notwithstanding her large gifts to the Young Men's Chris- tian association, which she has pro- moted in the army and navy and many other varied benefactions, it has | been’ estimated that she has nearly trebled her wealth by _investment, mainly in railroads in which the fam- ily’ has been prominent. Miss Gould is now 44 years old. She was 24 when her father died and when she was calleg upon to decide whether it should be society or business, philan- thropy and a quiet life, she chose the latter combination.

While making his way steadily upward in responsible rail- road executive offices he has given much of his time to books and music 2s well as tennis and golf and row- ing. His father, the Rev. P. L.

The minimum under the Under- wood bill that was, pressed by the democrats in the héuse in 1911 and 1912, and that so far stands as the tentative basls of the democratic cot- ton revision programme, is 15 per cent. This was the development today after the ways and means committee had heard witnesses representing both the northern and southern cotton industry. The hearing room was crowded all day with the manufacturers, importers and others interested in the revision plan under which the democratic leaders contend that the burden resting upon the people owing to the cost of cotton clothing will be reduced by more than $80,000,000.

Northern Manufacturers Protest. Members of the committee fav cutting the cottop manufactures rat as low as these lower fizures su gested and some of the committee are insistent upon as low as 5 per cent. on such more common cotton cloth as calico, sheeting and plain weaves. The northern manufacturers took is- sue with the suggested reductions, al- though conceding that they mignt be able to stand a cut in their profits. “You may succeed from a revenue standpoint,” urged Simon B.

London, Jan. 22—The plenipotentia- ries of the Balkan kingdoms are immensely pleased over the decision of the grand council at Constantinople to accept the advice of the powers. While it has hecome increasingly certain in the past 48 hours that the Turkish el- der statesmen were prepared face the bitter fate that ends the empire's history as an Buropean nation, it was hardly expected they wonld register their decision so quickly and so defi- nite This is so unlike the customary tics that some suspicion is entertain- ed, without supporting proof, _that Turkey might have cards up her sleev One crucial point of difference r mains to be settled in the question of indemnity. The allies propose to levy a heavy payment upon the defeated nation.

We have not yet set down figures for the indemnity ,but we have practically de- cided on what basis it is to be calcu- lated and how it s to be divided among the allies. “Hach Balkan state will take as basis the number of soldfers it put I the' field ,averaging the cost of each soldier during the time the coumtry was on a war footing. of DREAM AROUSES MAN'S SUSPICION Investigation and Trip to Paris Prove the Dream True.
