Miss Edith Collins, ward of Chauncey
M. Depew, whom rumor said some time
ago was to become his wife, is to be mar
ried to a Count Czaykowski. The count
is descended from a noble Polish family
who were exiled after the great insurrec-
ton and have since lived in Turkey. He
is one of the sultans most trusted ad-
visers, and is at present councillor of
state of the Turkish embassy at Rome.

Southern Iron and the Tariff.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem).

The accounts of the increasing exports
of pig iron from Alabama to European
markets tend very much to weaken the
protectionist argument for an extra ses-
sion of congress to revise the tariff.
When pig iron can be exported from the
interior of Alabama and shipped to Eu-
rope in competition with the iron of Great
Britain it is evident that the duty on
pig iron should be lowered instead of be-
ing increased.

AS they went forward so swiftly in

hulking brute. whose attitude to her

she lavished it without stint upon this
handsome wretch, of whom her fancy
had made demigod long before his
hand was raised to shield her from an.

the splendor, the harmony, the luxury
OF it oppressed him. The memory of
that poor, bare place, with its slim fig
ure smiling out Of the open door, hung
over him with the oppression of a night
mare. Flinging wide the shutters, he
looked down at the street from his
eighth story's dizzy height.
He saw family dark, slim shane

Eton's voice made him turn.
"Here's the document, properly con.

that did not mask his uneasiness. When
Pen without word laid the money in
his hand, he kissed the crisp notes and
thrust them instantly within the breast
of his coat, as though fearful they
might be snatched from his hand.
Notwithstanding, he staid for a min

measuring glance upon everything in

too rapid for perfect comprehension.

A bright young woman who read with
much pleasure the industrial edition OF
THE NEWS, issued last Wednesday, asks
the Gossiptr IL the women OF these Plan
tations were not identified with the es-
Ia adjustment OF some important indus
tries about a century ago. The Gossiper
knows OF one such industry, aside from
spinning and weaving then universally
done in every household, which owed
ITS eSta plishment to the ingenuity N
perseverance, OF a very young woman, a
mere girl in fact. The story Of her en-
ierprise is interesting and worth telling.
