Miss Tsabel McKenna, to Pitts Dut- | field of New York. Miss McKenna is the eldest of the three | handsome daughters of the family and, is a great belle.

A Phil¥delphia special to the World says arly and large reductions in the mber of employes of the big railroad systems of the country are predicted by officials of the Vanderbilt lines. When asked whether the Pennsylvania Railroad had materially reduced the number of men on its payrolls or contemplated such action General Manager Atterbury said: ‘We have not reduced our force very much and only as the exigencies of the service have required.” No men have been laid off yet by the Philadelphia and Read. ing Raflroad, whose traffic ly to be in the shops and among the track hands first.” CLEVELAND, Oct. 12.—At the head- | quarters of the Lake Shore Rallroad here to-day it was sald that probably not more than 400 men would be dismissed by the company as a result of the order sent out from New York on Saturday tc reduce the force in all shops on the Vanderbilt system wherever possible. One hundred and fifty of the 500 men employed in the Lake Shore shops at Collinwood were dis- charged to-day and an equal number probably will be dismissea at Elkhart, Ind. BUFFALO, N.

The reason for this is that Auditor Mur- phy has been unable i0 complete the re- vision of the assessment roil since the in- crease by the State Board of Egualiza- tion for delivery to the Collector within the time prescribed by law. The Auditor has a large extra force of clerks working day and night and hopes to deliver the books within a few days. It will then take Collector January some days to prepare his statements and he does not expect to be able to receive taxes much before the first of thc month. R —— Don’t Miss This.

As cabled on Saturday, Frederick | Grietgling, editor of an art paper, report- {ed to the hotel clerk that day that a | young woman had killed herself in his | room, and investigation showed that the | dead woman was Eliza Papesco. | When the body was examined by a phy- gician to-day a bullet wound was discov- ered in the base of her skull and another | wound was found in her temple. The lat- | ter caused the woman's death. The physician declared it was impossi- ble for the woman to have inflicted the wound at the base of her skull, Grietgling L is held on the charge of murder. Accord- | ing to Gina Papesco, sister of the dead | woman, Grietgling proposed marriage to | i | | { Eliza, claiming he was rich and saying | he was opposed to-her going to Bucharest to fill an engagement at the Royal Thea- ter. - It is said that while at Alx-les-Bains recently Grietgling became acquainted with Eugenie Fougere, the demi-mondaine, | who was murdered in her villa there Sep- tember 18 under mysteriods circumstances, —_——— Mail-Pouch Robber Confesses. | DENVER, Oct. 12.—Albert E.

In this spirit we are to continue, and, as far as may be, to se in the exercise of apostolic office the which we have ever cherished toward intefes this Qistinguished American foundation. Wherefore we learn with genuine satisfac- tion that the Bishops urged, with the ap- | proval of all others interested In its welfare, | that a ccllection be taken up in all the i churches throughout the United States an- fAuaily for ten years on the first Sunday of Ad- vent or the first comvenient Sunday thereafter with a view of enhancing the dignity and em- | larging the influence of this noble seat of | s Plan, the result of thelr joint delibera- | tions, we consider most beneficial.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—Arthur Warren, a young man living in the suburb of Ber- win, twelve miles from this city, had a narrow escape from lyching to-night, and but for the efforts of two policemen it is possible that he would have been hanged to a telegraph pole. ‘Warren was accused of having attacked an 8-year-old girl. He led the crowd a chase of about a mile before he was caught, and during the run the excite- ment of the mob bad increased. When ‘Warren was captured he was handled roughly, and a proposal to lynch him met with approval. Two policemen, however, managed to get him away from the crowd and drag him into a grocery, where they barred the door until assistance arrived from the police station. —_————— ETANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 12.—The Daily-Palo Alto, the college newspaper pub- lished by the students of Stanford, annou.ces to-day the election of members of its editorlal staff as follows: Miss Kittie Trader '04.

DEGRIES DIVORGE | Declares It Is a Danger- ous Blot Upon Civ- ilization. NEW YORK, Oct. 12—In an address before the Knights of Columbus, gathered in Carnegie Hall to celebrate the anniver- sary of America's discovery, W. Bourke tion, and declared that the only blot to | be seen at the present day Is the divorce practice. The great private fortunes he considered to be of value to the nation, while the labor problem, he said, is only | & step in the march of progress. Sald he: | There has been growth since the beginning of the world; progress is the law of the uni- verse, -and tie nations who came before this one, ‘the men who lived and accomplished | things before Columbus were simply the links in a chain which has not yet been completed. When we know that this work is all for man- | kind then we can understand that his was a mission of commerce and of religion, and that mission marked the dawn of justice. The present condition of society here is full of promise. We have the greatest fortunes of the earth—greater than Rome ever dared ream of—and. though philosophers say that where wealth accumulates men decay, I see no cause for despair. When a large fortune is | not_gained by robbery, by fraud or by the manipulation of the laws, then it can be but a boon to the nation. My neighbor’s prosper- ity increases my own and that of the earth. Nor do modern fortunes tend to the in- | crease of luxury. On the contrary, men be- | come more seif-denying. I see no sign of de- | cay in the human race here. The labor ques- tion fs in process of solution and every row |1s a step toward this. A laborer cannot get | more pay than the value of his product, for | then the product ceases to be made. ~ Nor | can he get much less, because of the element | of competition. The laborer of to-day Is not | a servant, but a partner of his employer. and | thei~ good rests In & mutual understanding. But the blot I see upon our civilization is the increasing number of divorces. In the ancient state the supreme importance of life was to increase the importance of the ate. ‘TO-(!)\)‘ the end of life is the individual good. t But the individual good lles in the prosperity of the family and it is at this that the di- vorce strikes. If not checked it will destroy | the family. | The remedy for this, as I see it, is to real- | 1ze that matrimony is state, not a contract, and divorce must be stopped. Divorce strikes | at the virtue of our women, and this virtue | ts what preserves the state. Divorce is the one foul growth upon our soil and upom its | riddance depends the fate of our future. If we are to choose between divorces and polygamy, give us polygamy. —_—————————— | FORMER MILLIONAIRE DIES IN AN OLD SHACK OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 12—Thomas Mur- ray, until a few years ago rated a million- aire and who made most of his wealth dealing in second-hand goods, died in a shack in the southern part of the city early to-day.
