A WIFE AND CHEWING GUM.
A New York Mans Proposal Finds an
Acceptance In Montreal

Orleans avenue, Maissoneuve and the sur
rounding neighborhood are busy discussing a
pretty little romance in real life which
reached consummation last evening whom
Philip Anderson Of 372 West lllth street and
Marie MitcLenesse, an employe Of the Hoch
elaga Cotton mills, were united In marriage.
It Is pretty story. Months ago Marie
bought a package of chewing gum. She says
she does not mako practice Of chewing, but
on this occasion she bought some gum for
friend and opened the package just to take
out one square for herself.
On the tissue paper next 10 the gum were
the words: "Will You please write to Philip
Anderson 312 West Hath street, New York? I?
/ will answer
Miss Mitchenesse consulted the lady with
whom she boarded, and they agreed that IL
would bo only q Joke, and no harm would
come Of il. She wrote little note saying IL
was she who had received the package with
the request And she wound up with, Now,
what do you wantl"
There was a business ring TO the letter, and
Mr.. Anderson rather liked it. He replied
that he was young man with a fairly good
position in a chewing gum factory; that ho
would like TO continue the correspondence,
and, If agreeable TO Miss Mitchenesse would
be pleased 10 receive her photograph.
Miss Mitchenesse was still business like
when she wrote: send me yours first and
then win send you mine" The photograph
was received by return mail, and then the
lady sent hers off. They were both pleased
at the exchange.
The letters grew in number and their tone
gradually changed From Dear Miss it
got to Dear Miss Mitchenesse, To my
Dear Miss Nitchcnessc," to Dear Marie,
TO my Dear Marie, TO Dearest" and Mt
last the young man took his summer vaca-
tion and in August he landed in Montreal.
Evidently the two were satisfied with each
other just what was said Is not, of course,
for publication but there are tell-tale facts
which make it appear that the yoong man
asked her TO name the happy day. He went
away at peace with all the world, and yester-
day morning he came back to claim his bride.
1t was a quiet little wedding. There were no
presents Of gold or silvor-or checks. IL was
just wedding. Montreal Herald

SUICIDAL DOCTORS.
what is the Explanation OF a Remark-
able Fact Shown by Statistics?

Statistics show that the medical profession
Is more prone TO suicide than any other.
During the last three years the number OF
suicides occurring among physicians has
been, respectively, A5, 40 and a per annum,
an average of nearly one 10 20O0. or, as the
death rate among the physicians is about
% to l000 nearly one f1ftieth of all tho deaths
in the profession have been by suicide. it
has been suggested that an explanation OF
this tendency may be found in the develop
ment OF morbid fancies in the mind OF "A
doctor, on account of his constant associa-
tion with the sick and dying, or because he
has the requisite knowledge OF now 10 die
painessly and conveniently.
A medical journal dissents from all these
views and holds that the leading factor
IL the accessibility of the poisonous drugs,
which are almost invariably used. Suicide
is largely matter of insane impulse I'm
ngine n man fstigued in body and depressed
in spirits--as the doctor very often is-sway-
ed by an overwhelming conviction of the
utter weariness of life TO the impulse of
suicide. II he had to put on his hat and
walk to tho drug store and tax his ingenuity
for lie with which TO explain his desire
for poison, ho might postpone the fatal act
from mere inertia or no may meet n friend
or have his interests In life aroused by one
of a multitude of every day occurrences, or
physical exercise may bring him TO his
senses. If, however, as is the case with
almost every doctor, he has simply to feel in
his pockets, or walk across his Office to get
deadly poison. the impulse may be carried
into execution before anything can happen
TO supplant il in the brain. .-Pittsburg Dis

TIN PLATE.

We are shipping tin plate to Europe
The first lot. carload OF 500 boxes of tho
finest quality from the American Com
pany at Elwood, Ind, has actually gone.
and other orders from England are being
filed.
The creating OF tho tin plate industry,
as we have before remarked, is the one i'm
portant example Of the possibilities of a
protective tariff that this generation has
been able 10 sec for itself. The tariff re-
orm campaign of 1884 was successful.
both because of the Mugwump revolt
against Blaine and the Ignorance of the
tremendous army of new voters. as to the
facts Of the protective policy. But in the
campaign of 1902 the personal element
was not so much in evidence and tariff
reform won almost wholly because of this
ignorance The facts of history were over
thrown by the promises Of theory and
with the Mckinley bill as the subject
for debate the amazing spectacle was
presented OF an administration turned out
of office in the midst of the greatest
prosperity the country had ever known.
chief bone of contention. Briefly. that
schedule was designed to establish and
foster new and hitherto unknown in
dustry on American soil as hundreds of
industries. the history of whose origin
was not personally known to the great
mass OF young voters, had been created
and built up from the time Of jefferson.
The free trades papers, malioiously over
looking or ignorant of, the history Of our
industrial progress ridiouled the idea that
an act of Congress was powerful to create
a manufacturing plant, and deluded the
voters into believing that all the schedule
meant was an increase in the price of tin
ware--the famous 'workingman's dinner
pail" taxation cry of that well-remem-
bered campaign.
But even during the campaign Amori-
can tin plate factories were established
though their existence was denied by the
free trade press and orators, and tariff
reform won the victory that created the
industrial havoc of the years of '93-'96.
Today we have the sufficient demon
stration OF facts that under protective
tariff it was easily possible, without
hardship TO the consumer. to create n tin
plate INDUSTRY as the woolop. the iron
and scores OF other American industries
had been created. Indeed, never was an
industrial suocess more notable. The
progress of American tin plato manufac-
ture has been simply marvellous, Prior
to 1890 no tin plate was made here. After
the enactmsnt OF the Mckinley tariff a
few small plants were started, but IL was
not until 1892 that the industry may be
said to have really made good start. 1t
may be claimed that In the comparatively
short period OF five years this country
has not only built up tin plate industry
great enough to meet its own require
ments, but Of such strength as TO appear
tentatively in tho markets of the world.
In the words of the Iron Age the an
nouncement of such an achievement must
be gall and wormwood TO those who
persistently asserted as late rs 1894 that
there were no tin plate factories In :his
country and never would be-

RECORD AT NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans, Oct. 1i.-Yesterday was
the record smasher in the number of
deaths in single day from yellow fever
since the sickness was first reported in
New Orleans. 1t is difficult to find
the cause except in the fact that con-
cealment. neglect and rebellion against
the authority of the board OF health
have made 1t difficult for the physicians
to give proper attention TO cases. At
: O'Clock last night nine fatalities were
reported during the "a hours. Hereto
