CONSUELO IS A DUCHESS. Spouse of the Duke of
 Marlborough. A Wedding of Extreme Mag
 nifiCenCe. Several Thousands of Loyal Ameri- cans Chssred With the Gusto
 of True Britons.

NEW YORK, Nov 6.-At noon today in the Protestant Episcopal church of St. Thomas, Cousuelo Vanderbilt was united in mar isge 10 Charles Richard John Spencer Churchill, ninth Duke of Marlborough
 The scene inside the chuicn was one never to be forgotten. Women of wealth and social prominence vied with each other in richness and grandeur.
 The bridegroom accompanied by the best man, walked from the vestry to the chancel rail, where they were soon joined by the bride, .precedd by the bridesmaids, leaning upon the arm of her father, W. K. Vanderbilt.
 Dr. Brown, rector, gave the introduc tory and the charge, followed by Bishop Potter, who, aided by Bishop Littlejohn, performed the marriage ceremony.
 The duke, accom- pa nied by his best man, Hon. lvor 'iuest, drove to the church and on ahghting they were accorded warm reception. WWhen the bride, who was accom- panied by her father arrived at the church the crowd was something tremendous and the bride leaned heavily on her fathers arm as he assisted her from the carriage. The police on duty prevented rush and passageway WAR kept open from the church entrance to the bridal car. riage.
 When the newly welded couple left the sacred edifce for the brides home, the surging mass cheered again and again and many thousands of people lined the walks from the church to the residence of the bride on Seventy-sec- ond street.

than IS generally supposed. In May, 1S4S, the Great Western railway engine Great Britain was driven by Engineer Almond iron Paddington to Didcot, ifty-thrcc miles, in forty-seven min utes, starting and stopping. When we consider thaG the brakes in those days were very crude this is pretty fast trav- cling.
 Nor was this done once, but repeat cdly.
 The broad-gauge expresses are ire quently timed at the rate of mile in forty-cight seconds, or seventy-fve miles an hour, and even higher max inu1n was attained for short distances.
 The Bradshaw for 1849 shows that the morning express was timed to leave Paddington at $50 o'clock and start again from Didcot at 10:47. Allowing tour minutes for the stop at Didcot the train must have been officially timed at a mile minute.
 The railway records show that the traiu often arrived under time.
 These facts should silence a great many persons who prate about the phe- nomenal progress recently made in rail- road matters in general and rapid tran sit in particular.

THE "CROWNER'S QUEST"

An Absurd Old Law Which Has Some
 Very Undesirable Results.
 Dickens, who so often studied with delighted interest the application of English law to particular cases, would have found subject worthy of his grimmest hulnor in the fact, cabled recently from London, that when the master Of 6 fishing smack, cruising near where the Eibe went down, saw float ing in the water a dead body, which was doubtless that of a victim of the great disaster, he made no effort to res cue it from the waves and carry it ashore for Identification and burial.
 Instead he sailed past and away from the dolcful bit of fotsam as quietly as circumstances would permit, not, as one might suppose, because he was a particularly hard-hearted and cold bloodcd mariner, but because ''recent- ly, after landing a body, he had been forced to pay the funeral expenses" 7" Curious as that experience had been and delightfully."- illustrative as it was of ''crowner's quest wisdom, the cap tain had no inclination to repeat 1t. One lesson had been enough to teach him the great principle that common sensc cannot be allowed to interfere with consistency in the enforcement of q parliamentary act, and what, in com parison with that, is the continued agonized uncertainty of some German wife or mother? >sr

LEMONS SENTENCE.
Eight Years Confinement in the Ter

Tucson Citizen: Lawrence Lemon, convicted of manslaughter in the kill ing of Thomas Shean, in Harshaw, a couple of months ago, was sentenced Judge Bethune this morning to eight years imprisonment in the territorial penitentiary.
 His counsel, Judge Barnes, made an application for a new trial, but this was denied. The judge stated that he had closely examined the evidence and in no instance had seen anything that would warrant the granting of a new trial ..-t-s.
 Notice of an appeal was given and the prisoner remanded to the custody of the sheriff.

Here is a late one: Two Yankee sailors strolled into a show in Guatemala, where a prestidigitateur was entertaining the audience. A parrot was perched on the back of the bench whete they sat. After every surprising feat one sailor would turn to the other with the re- mark: That was pretty good! won- der what will come next?' That was repeated till it made the parrot tired. Presently one of them threw down a burning match with which he had lighted his pipe. It fell through a crack in the floor and into a powder magazine. Biff! went the whole build ing, people and all, and nothing was left but hole in the ground and the parrot, which was uninjured though badly shaken up.

Banks and Business.

If Comptroller Eckels is giving 1t to
us straight, the condition of the ma
tional banks at present ::is such as to
indicate a general improvement of
business all over the country. The
national bank returns are said by the
comptroller to show that a very large
part of the money lying idle in the
banks year ago has been withdrawn
into the channels of trade, while the
applications for new circulation and
new bank charters testify to the pres
emit and anticipated demands for
money and for enlarged banking facil-
tiles. Some of the most striking
features of the statistics shown by
Comptroller Eckels are the statement
that there was an increase of over
$22, 100000 in loans aud discounts
made by the banks of New York city
during March, and an increase of over
S17 1000, 900 in the amount invested in
bonds and securities. In Philadelphia
the increase in loans and discounts for
the month was over $4,000, 900, and in
Chicago the increase was S14,24S, 1923
Another sign which Mr.. Eckels con-
siders very favorable is the number. of
new national banks. During the past
six months twenty-five have been or
gained and their applications for
charters approved. On the theory that
the greater the number of banks, the
more money there will be in circula-
ton, the statement is encouraging.

The Bowels of the Earth.

Having run the Eiffel tower up into
the heavens 10 1889, it is now proposed
in Paris as the chief attraction at the
1900 exposition to descend into the
depths of the earth. M. .Grousset,
member of the chamber of deputies of
Paris, has submitted a plan for test
ing the point whether there is a GEN.
trail fire beneath the earth's crust. He
finds, says the New York Sun, that
in mines the temperature down to a
certain depth is practically the aver
age temperature above ground.
Descending beyond that point, the
thermometer rises about 1 4 degrees in
every hundred feet He desires to
test the thermal law at a much greater
depth than has yet been reached.
Should it be found to remain constant,
the boiling point would be reached
about 5000 feet below the surface, and
the 666 degrees point, at which nearly
all bodies are in state of fusion,
would be some IL miles down.
Ofcourse, NJ. Grousset would not take
the Parisians down to the point of
fusion, but only until tropical heat is
reached. After that he would con-
tinue his experiments by borings.
The plan of NJ. Grousset's Inferno
comprises series of vertical shafts,
each 600 feet long and terminating in
vast subterranean gallery. Each
shaft would have couple of pas
senger elevators. The lowest circle
would be at a depth of about 1000
feet. Each gallery would be fitted in
keeping with its special temperature.
There would be electric lights through
out and perfect ventilation would be
secured. The cost of the undertaking
is estimated at S2,500000, assuming
the lowest gallery depth at 1890 feet.
As mere spectacle NJ. Grousset is
confident that the venture would pay,
but he hopes to strike upon fresh
source of light, heat and force.

church was locked and guarded by the
police all day. In his statement to the
police, Raw. DIR. Gibson asserts his belief
in Durant's innocence, but is unable to
offer any theory as to the actual perpe-
traitor of the crime. This much can be
said for Durant. He did not act like a
guilty man when arrested, and his prepa-
rations TO leave with the signal corps
were made without concealment and be-
fore the murder of Miss Williams. Even
the police are forced to admit that il
seems incredible that he would commit
such a crime unless afflicted by-a mania
for that sort of work.

The Rev. DIR. Lansing's apology for
his accusations against President
Cleveland reflects credit upon him in
one sense, but in another exposes him
as a man untitled for the ministry.
His only defense is that he heard the
stories he put in form Of direct
charge from sources which he "be-
lieved to be wholly reliable" He had
taken no further trouble to verify
them. He never questioned the pro-
priety of the attack from the point of
view of his victims high position and
the innocence of his wife and family.
The Lansings are disgrace to the
clerical profession. II any newsp aper
in the land had published the libel
upon tho president to which the Rev.
DIR. Lansing gave publication it would
have been assailed from one end of the
country to the other and justly so, as
unworthy of confidence and as deserv-
ing of the severest reprobation.

Questions and Answers which Explain

From the San Francisco Examiner
The time for filing statements under
the income tax law expires on Monday,
and good many citizens are wondering
what to do about IL. The questions asked
about the law are puzzling, even to a
newspaper that knows everything. In
fact, three or four little questions by the
first men hit by the tax have puzzled the
supreme court of the United States till
that august tribunal Is apparently in the
gravest doubt whether its headquarters or
its headquarters are on the bench.
Yet there are some things reasonably
sure about the law-at least until the SUI
preme court finds its mind or changes the
one il thought II had the other day.
Some OF the practical questions that are
worrying the ordinary citizens the Eram-
liner has attempted to deal with below:
Docs the law apply to the income for
the last calendar year or the last fiscal
year?

the proceeds given to the tillers of the
soil. Owners of vacant lots have been
asked to permit this work to be done
on their lands, and thus far $50 acres
have been put at the disposal of the
committee. Each applicant for work
is to be given a quarter of an acre, and
1t is estimated that each acre will yield
between 400 and $50 bushels of pota-
toes The estimate seems unwarrant-
ably high, but at any rate the project
seems to be commendable one, and
1t will rather add to the attractions of
of the vacant lots, which are generally
