GROWTH IN TRANSIT.
From the Old-Fashioned Stage

Frcm the New York SUM-

From the New York SUM-
The beginning of the work of substitut-
ing the underground trolley for the cable
on the Broadway line is a cheering evil
dence of progress and another kick at
the pessimists. The Broadway cable line
itself is only a few years old, and it is
now to be superseded just as it took the
place of the horse cars, and as they in
their turn, drove from the street those
busses or stages that were long the most
conspicuous objects on Broadway except
perhaps the Broadway squad. Boys and
girls who know not stages are growing
up. Since those perambulators of Broad
way disappeared from it. hundreds of
thousands of persons have come to town
TO whom a Broadway stage would be
about as much of curiosity as q sedan
chair or a berlin.
Where are those old drivers, gifted
and explosive race. skilled pilots in the
currents of Broadway? In what spectral
parkway of old coaches do they steer
their secular nags and complaining
stages? The censorious marked a ten
dency to inflammation in the counten-
ances of some of these charioteers and
accused them of rum. Such is human JUS
tiee. Their language went to their faces.
Millions of umbrellas were shaken wrath
fully at them Policemen's clubs like
groves of locusts surrounded them. They
had to make change. No wonder they
were incarnadined. Let us hope that in
the limbo of coaches they have the hap
piness of running over everybody and

The Scotch Lassic Is True t0 Her
Dusky Sweetheart.
New York, Sept. 14.-Smiling and con-
tented because the hard-hearted immigra-
ton authorities had allowed her TO join
her sweetheart, Maggie Woods was mar
ried yesterday to Martin V. Hamilton,
a stalwart negro, to wed whom she had
come all the way from Dalkeith, Scot
land. The bridegroom's lawyer, a col
ored politician. the clergyman's wife and
baby, and two reporters were the wit
nesses of the ceremony.
The girl landed here last Thursday, but
the officials refused 10 release her because
she declared her intention TO marry Ham
ilton. They were greatly disturbed and
they heaped arguments upon her against
the marriage. Sentimental persons all
over the country wrote letters to her
urging her TO give up her sweetheart,
and she weakened enough TO sign an affi-
daVit for the commissioners that she
would not marry the man. A special board
of inquiry was convened. --.
AT the meeting yes erday D. Macon
Webster of No 80 Pine Street, appeared
for Hamilton Miss Woods coyly repudi-
ated her affidavit. or rather withdrew
tin, she said. The Rev. p Butler Thomp-
kins, pastor of St. James Presbyterian
Church, in West Thirty-second Street,
assured the board that the marriage
would take place. The commissioners de-
cided that there was no law TO hold the
girl, and she drove off contentedly with
Hamilton and the minister.
The wedding took place at the clergy
mans home, No. 436 West Thirty third
Street, at a quarter after five O'Clock
George E. NibeCan. jr., politician from
Brooklyn. who had assisted Hamilton in
Iescuing his bride from the commission

with Mr.. Webster. The bride and BRIDE
groom stood with their backs to the WIN
dow, the minister in front of them, and
at the back of the room were the minis
ter's wife, a pretty white woman, and the
reporters.
Clad in his best clothes. Hamilton stocd
erect, towering above the girl beside him.
Her eyes were dOwncast and her cheeks
were read. The clergyman read the Pres
bYterian marriage service. while the
brides hand lay in that of her husband.
She retired after tho ceremony. and Mr.
Hamilton told how happy both of the m
We're. The Rev. Mr.. Tompkins Mr. Web
ster and Mr. Wibecan then discussed
with great heat, the course of the au-
thorities in OBTAINING the blushing bride
They cited numerous instances where in
termarriage of the race had resulted hap

THE BROOKLYN iN PERIL.
Went Har4 agrcuna! !, ,Wasllff Cruising
OF Guantanamo

New York, April Alt has just become
known here that the American, navy came
near losing one of its big cruisers in the
waters about Santiago.
The Brooklyn, more than q month ago,
when running through the shadows that
are to be found near the mouth of Guam
tanamo Harbor, ran hard and fast
aground For time it was feared that
the cruiser could not be got off without
serious damage. But at high tide seven
of the transports and converted yachts
made fast with mammoth hawsers, and
after long pull and a hard pull, the
Brooklyn, with her propellers lashing the
water into foam, slid into deeper water
Admiral Schley ordered an immediate
and thorough examination to be made by
divers, who reported that they could not
sen that the ship had been damaged in
any way. Since coming north. however,
it has been discovered that the Brooklyn
sustained a serious strain, which will ne
cessitate an overhauling that will require
at least three months in the docks.

NURSE JUNIA M'KINLEY.
Good Work of a Cousin of the Presf-
dent.

President McKinley's cousin. Miss Ju-
MIA Mckinley, has been doing heroic work
as a nurse at Camp Hobson, near At
lanta, Ga.
She established a dietary kitchen there
about two months ago. which, from the
outset, was success, and of great bene-
At TO the sick soldiers.
II was by no means an easy undertake
ing for Miss Nc Kinley, who is but thirty
years old, and who had never had any
experience of this nature. but by hard
work and perseverance she became sue
cessful Miss Mckinley found more diff
ficulty in obtaining drugs than any other
supplies, and she was only able to secure
them by making purchase and charging
the bill to the Red Cross Society.
Miss Mckinley at first confined herself
to the dietary kitchen, but when she
learned that nurses were needed for the
typhoid fever ward at Camp Hobson
she offered her services. which were glad
ly accepted. Miss Mckinley has written
twice to the President of her experience
at Camp Hobson, and in each letter she
said that she was receiving much en-
couragement from the result of her work
Miss Mckinley will remain with the di-
etary kitchen for several weeks more.

Chile PREPARES FOR WAR
Differences With Argentina
Approach the Danger Line.
RAISING A LARGE ARMY
Laud Forces TO He Increased to One
Hundred Thousand Men Owing to
Prospective Rupture Growing
Out of the Boundary Dispute-Ho-
IiVia's Hand in the Quarrel.

Valparaiso, Chile, via Galveston, Tex
as, Sept. l4.-Chile is increasing her ar
my to more than 900 men. This course
has been determined upon as a response
TO the continued opposition OF Argentina
to the proposal of general arbitration to
settle the boundary dispute.
On high authority. IL is stated, that
Bolivia has entered into secret alliance
with Argentina against Chile The rea-
son for this is said to be Bolivias eXpec-
tation that the protocol with Peru will
be passed by the Chilean congress. This
would take away all hope of port on
the Pacific for her. and her trade inter
ests would naturally incline her to sup
port Argentina.
The chambers have been permanently
assembled here for the purpose of ap-
proving the protocol with Peru. The sit
uation, therefore, in view of the contin-
ued disagreement of the boundary COM
missions, is most serious.
Argentina Wants Peace.
Buenos Ayres, Argentina, via Calves
ton, Texas, Sept. 1.-THE government
and people of Argentina believe there is
airy dispute, but the preparations for any
emergency continue actively. The au-
thorities are showing the utmost activity
in the organization and equipment of the
army and navy.
The government declares II will not
create difficulties with Chile or provoke
a war. but il is preparing TO meet any
situation. 1t will insist on the enforce
ment of all existing treaties bearing on
the boundary question.
The people are spontaneously offering
funds TO uphold the government. The
business world, however, shows conf
dence in the preservation of peace, there
being no alarm on the exchanges.
According TO the Prensa, the differ
ences between the Chilean and Argentine
experts appointed to settle the boundary
dispute involves 81 900 square kilometers
of land.
Aiding Peruvian Rebels.
Lima, Peru, Sept. H.-It is rumored
here that the promoters of the present
agitations in various quarters of Peru
have obtained assistance in money and
arms from Argentina and Ecuador.
The Peruvian government requested
the Argentine minister to notify three
so-called Argentine tourists that they
must leave by steamer bound for the
south before o'clock Wednesday after
noon as otherwise they would be ex-
posed to arrest without protection from
the Argentine legation.
