The improvement is most marked in dry goods, clothing, groceries, shoes and hardware. Distributive trade is better in the Northwest, portions of the East and very generally throughout the South. The Central West also shows a continuance of the improvement noted last week, and a widespread betterment in collections is a feature deserving speclal mention. A disposition is shown products for better prices, this being true in many sections, notably the South and Northwest.

OF FEW HOURS Wife of Jacob -Weimer,/the Chicago Baseball Pitcher, Returns to Father’s Roof g GROOM - ONCE DIVORCED Bride Learns of Previous Marriage and on Religious Grounds Holds Hers Void CHICAGO, Sept. 23.—A bride of a few hours, Laura Trumbull Weimer, wife of Jacob Weimer, the crack pitch- er of the Chicago National League Baseball team, it is announced to-day, fled from his arms to take refuge at the home of her father, George T. Trum- bull, president of the Trumbull Safe & Vault Company. She had discovered that Weimer had been divorced—a condition not recognized by the Roman Catholic church, of which she is a de- vout member. Now they are far apart, Weimer in Brooklyn with his club and his bride at her parents’ home. Friends and relatives are trying to untangle the complications. Whether the separation will be permanent or the newly married couple will be re- united no one pretends to be able to say. “We are waiting to see,” said Mrs. ‘Weimer between sobs to-day. ‘“We are waiting—that is all I can say.” Mrs. Weimer's eyes were red with weeping and it was apparent the shock had borne heavily upon her. the first time she had left her room since she sought its solitude within a ¢few hours of her wedding. Reports from the East indicate that Weimer, too, has felt the blow. He is said to look haggard and to have lost nearly forty pounds in weight through wor- rying. The ceremony was performed by op Muldoon a week ago. ‘Weimer abandoned Lutheranism in order that the wedding might conform with the wishes of his bride's family. Ten years ago when a mere boy the noted left-handed pitcher was married at Des Moines, Iowa, the union being unhappy and of- brief duration. Di- vorce followed and the former Mrs. ‘Welmer took up her home in Los An- geles, Cal, where she now is with her little daughter. Never giving a thought to the possi- bility of such an incident in his life none of the Trumbull family asked ‘Weimer if he had married before, and not appreciating its significance to a Roman Catholic family Weimer made no reference to it. So it was not until after the cere- mony that the family learned of the true state of affairs. Since then Wei- mer and she have exchanged corre- spondence, but have not met. —_—e————— Californians in Washington. WASHINGTON, D.

Fatal Shot Is Fired While the Young Husband Is Sta,uding Near, Beautiful Placer County Girl, Recently Married to Son of Ex-Semator Chandler, Commits Suicide. ™ Epecial Dispatch to The Call 5 MARYSVILLE, Sept. 23.—This aftere noon, after asking her husband to step out into the hall for a minute while she prepared a surprise for him, Mrs. Ade- latde Chandler fired a bullet through her heart. b3 4 Mr: and Mrs. Chandler have resided in this city for the last two months. They were married less than a year ago and made many friends here dur- ing their short residence. They were apparently very happy and were con- stantly together. Harry Chandler, the husband, is a son of ex-Senator J. L. Chandler. He was bokn and raised in the southern part of Sutter County, where he is well and favorably known. Some months ago he made his home in Lincoln, Placer County. There he met and married the woman who to-day took her own life. She was about 22 years of age and a brunette. She left no note to explain her rash act and the husband can as- sign no reason, as she had appeared in a happy and contented mood during the day. The deed was committed with a 3S-caliber revolver, the property of Chandler. So true was her aim that life was extinct before the husband, who had only stepped from the door, could re-enter the room. Coroner J. K. Kelly tock charge of the remains and an inquest will be held Saturday, when it is hoped some clew will be found to explain the rea= son for taking her life. ——————— CHASTISEMENT OF SON COSTS FATHER HIS LIFR DES MOINES, Sept. 23—Car1 Bai- stock, a German farmer living near Gray, Iowa, while whipping one of his sons, thrust his thumb into the boy's mouth, slightly injuring the thwmb.

Foster in an address before the section of diplomacy of the Arts and Sciences Congress on “The Proper Grade of Diplomatic Representatives.” Foster laid stress on the importance of establishing a system of diplomacy which would not subject representa- tives to inconvenience and even in- dignity because of their lower rank as Ministers. He added: The late trouble between the United States and Turkey grew out of the fact that the American Minister could not have access to the Sultan and higher officials, because he did not possess the rank of an Embassador and the Turkish Government refused to agres to the appointment and recognition of Embas- sadors with the United States, Professor Albert W.
