was arrested at Naragansett hotel yester-
day afternoon in suit for breach of
promise. The complainant is Miss Mary
Locke, OF East Darlington, Vt, and the
damages asked are S25 900. The Jee,,lu
Journal recently published a sketch and
picture of Captain Bisbee and aided bv
that picture an officer identified him. He
told him he would like to see him on mat

ton and James Ripley, were summoned and
the party went to the court house. One

and private hearing held. Burbanlt
asked for release of the prisoner on the

he was an official of the Chinese govern.
ment here on business, aud his release was
refused. Then Burbank pleaded for re
ductlon OF his bail, which was finally fixed
at $4,000. Bondsmen were secured and
the prisoner released. Captain Bisbee at
once left town.
1t is alleged that the captain once courted
Miss Locke and Sc cured her consent to
marriage. Then the captain departed for
emma, vowing that upon his return he
would make Miss Locke his wife.
After the captain had been in China
for some years. the government
ordered him to this country on official bps-
mess. Miss Locke claims that before and
after his departure from China he wrote
her letters in which he renewed his prom
Use OF marriage. Upon arriving here he
did not visit her but went to Cape Ccd and |
married another woman, whom he took to |
China with him. On one of the captains
trips to this country he brought his wife

now reside. This marriage greatly i'm

paid 10 further attention. The affairs of |

Economy Is Wealth, Eut-

There is story of q young man en-
ployed on one of the Vanderbilt roads
who. after fruitless endeavors to get his
salary raised, finally went to William II.
Vanderbilt himself.
He was kindly received, but when it
came to the question Of an increase of
salary Mr.. Vanderbilt said: Young
man. the trouble in these days is not
that men do not get salaries enough, but
that they are extravag;at and do not
keep what they get"
With admirable composure the young
man took notebook ard pencil from
his pocket, and after little figuring
said: ''Mr. Vanderbilt. as | figure it, if
God had given Adam I, salary of $25, 900
a year, and he had lived til the present
day and boarded every cent of it during
these 6,000 years. he would still be $50
000,0 poorer than you are. Are there
not possibly other ways Of getting ahead
besides saving ones salary"
Mr.. Vanderbilt quickly closed the in
terview, but is said to have ordered the
young mans salary raised in recognition
of his GOODNESS and Eeenness.
This story is naturally recalled as one
reads from time to time of Chauncey
M. Dcpew addressing the young men on
the virtues of economy and frugality.
The advice is always good, but the man
who knows most about how the Wander
bits acquired control over s640, 100000
worth of railroads ought to enlighten the
young men on a few other points now
and then.-Boston Globe.

tensive strikes ever known in the history
of labor in this country, and in nearly
every one of them it met defeat. Still
at the Richmond session, in 1886, the
books showed that there were over roc, 900
members in good standing. Since that
time, with the exception of the Reading
trouble and that on the New York Cen
tral (Which does not cut any figure. mas
much as the order had met its great loss
before then), the Knights have not en-
gagged in any large strikes, yet they began
to lose right after the Richmond session.
and in three years the officers did not
claim more than $50, 900 members. This
would Indicate that strikes were not the
cause Of the orders losses.
