Broad-banded mourning stationery is
seldom used now, except by widows,
and not always by them. Plain white
envelopes, sealed with black wax are
much the better form; the paper may
DC plain or may have address or mono

page. Beyond fashion, there Is always
good taste in stationery. and good taste
stops long before extremes OF color,

NOT A SISTER.

sho Preferred to he Mother to the
Young Man.
CHICAGO, March 13.-L. H. Edmunds of
Fort Scott, Kan, arrived in the city to-day
on a bridal tour. The groom is II years
old and quite feeble, while his bride is but
20 years of age. Unlike most marriages
where there is such great difference in the
ages of the contracting parties. the groom
is not man of wealth. The bride, how
ever. is worth about $4,000.
There is quite romantic story connected
with the marriage. Many years ago Mr..
Edmunds was the unsuccessful suitor for
the heart and hand of the mother of his
bride. The lady afterward married, and
about seven years ago her husband died,
leaving her widow with one child, the
daughter who ia now Mrs. Edmunds,
Mr.. Edmunds, having become a widower
again, courted his old sweetheart, with no
more success than ON the former occa ssion,
but they remained very intimate friends
until the death of the lady about three
years ago. By the provisions of her will
Mr.. Edmunds was made guardian of the
daughter and administrator of the estate.
The orphan was taken to the home of her
guardian, where she was thrown daily into
the society OF Mr.. Edmunds' Youngest son,

The United States Of Colombia Make

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The department

ministersat Bogota an interesting state
ment concerning the railways of Colombia,
in which he says: "This country is among
the most mountainous of the world.
AS result, ali communication is,
and always has been, most difficult and
expensive. Nearly all freight must be
transported by mules as soon az it leaves
the great rivers. The people here realize
their difficulties caused by the tedious
methods now employed, and, with COM
mendable spirit of progress, have made
numerous contracts with various forsiun
companies for the construction OF roads
For one reason or another the contracts
have not been productive of great results,
SO that to-day there are only nine railroads

forty-two kilometera. we're built Dby native

need of more and better construction and

Sir Charles had long interview with
General Manager Sergeant, of the Grand
Trunk, and warmly appealed for the sup

have the fullest aud most friendly support
from the government when required. Be-
cause this appeal was refused Upper turns
around to smite the company with bitter
invective. The only policies the company
have in Canada are in the interests Of the
Grand Trunk. Tyler thinks the company
is in better position in regard to the gov
ernment, as a result of independent action,
than if Manager Sergeant had shown sub
serviency. Sergeant, he says, deserves the
support and approval of everyone connect
