Col. George r., Pickett

The many friends of Mr. George E..
Pickett will be glad to learn of his ap-
pointment as colonel upon the staff of
Gov. Tyler, of Virginia Although Mr..
Pickett has heretofore declined the
appointment, the strong desire of the
governor that he should serve in this
capacity has led to it's being made. A
lifetime friendship and great ad-
miration for the father of the newly
appointed colonel, Gen. George E
Pickett, celebrated in the military his
tory of our nation, created in the mind
of Gov. Tyler a deep interest in the
career of young Mr.. Pickett, an inter-
est which warmed into a strong per-
sonal friendship during the school per-
iod of the latter in the military insti-
tute of Virginia. Col Pickett has the
courageous and chivalrous nature
which belongs to him by heritage, and
his many friends will find pleasure in
his advancement.

MONEY OUTWEIGHS MORALS
Scandalous Actions Of The Leading
Men Of an Illinois Town.
Prohibited From Marrying, Mr..
Crane and Mrs. Stiles Are
"Desirable Residents"

| Chicago. Jan. 20.-The social life of
| St Charles, suburban town, is sadly
/ disturbed over new chapter in the
famous Crane-Stiles suit which has
kept Chicago society astir for four
years and factional fight upon inter
/ esting lines has been developed.
Herbert Z. Crane, millionaire. the
son of the elevator manufacturers was
the correspondent in the suit for di-
Vorce brought by Everett d. Stiles
against his wife. Later Mrs. Crane
brought suit for divorce from her
husband. He blamed his mother-in-
law. who lived with him and his bean
tful wife and their four children. and
said he and his wife had no symDa-
tines IN common. All were very well
Known in the fashionable and wealthy
set of Chicago
Mrs. stiles is the daughter OF the
President OF the VanderpoeI Electric
Light Company, and is a brilliant wo-
man of thirty.
before the suits We're decided Mrs.
stiles and Crane lived together i'm
Chicago and afterward removed to ST
Charles. Lavish splendor, entertain
ments Tor the town and large gifts of
money TO local charities marked their
lie IN the suburb. Mrs. Crane finally
obtained divorce from her husband
and Stiles obtained divorce from his
wife. Under the provisions of the law
Crane and Mrs. Stiles were prohibited
from marrying again.
The cases were appealed, and Crane
and Mrs. Stiles continued their life at
St. Charles. Two weeks ago a decision
OF the supreme court was handed
down, stamping their conduct as i'm
moral
They have been, however the most
generous and public-spirited people in
the town, and apart from living to-
gether, have been irreproachable.
Crane began a campaign for the ia
Nor and Endorsement of his neighbors.
He started a petition Tor their ap-
proNal of himself and Mrs. Stiles as
'desira bic members of society" Nav
or Bennett. the aldermen and more
than one-half of the voters signed the
petition which read in part:
We are surprised at and regret the
recent action taken by the supreme
court OF Illinois. Having found Won
good neighbors and desirable towns
people. we request that you remain
with US and it is well known that the
prosecution against you was instigated
by Chicago influence and was never in
dorsed or approved by the people of
st. Charles"
The petition was regarded by church
members as a direct challenge to tham
and counter petitions were started.
Now the town is in the throes of n So
cial war. The petition of the w G. n
U. protests against the Crane petition.
and declares its effect will be to an
danger the reputation of our city for
morality and decency," Now, the Rey
DIR. George III. Smith, of the Congrra-
gatlonal Church, in a sermon, called
the pair shameless, said they were NOT
wanted in St Charles and scored tbo
signers of the Crane-Stiles petition so
saVagely that several withdrew their
names.
Women and mothers of families have
taken up the fight against Crane ana
Mrs. Stiles, but the leading officials and
citizens are on the other side From,
present signs the battle is likely To
continue for some time

INQUIRY FOR MORE LIGHTS

The House District subcommittee
Wants 10 Know the Cost of Elec-
trtc Lamps There.

Th,a District Committee Of the House
O few days ago wrote to the Commits
sioners the following letter:
"Nm YOU please furnish at youl
earliest convenience for the use of the
House District Committee an est-
mate for the proper lighting, with cleo
tricfty. for one year. of East Capitol
street from Second to Thirteenth street
including the north and south sides Of
Lincoln Park: the estimate to include
the necessary expense for setting poles,
furnishing lights, and connecting with
the main wires already laid
The Commissioners turned this prob
lem over TO Mr.. w. c. Aiken. the In
spectOr Of electric lighting, and today
he submitted his report. Mr.. Ross wrote
to the committee today giving all the
figures.
Under the existing contracts with
the electric light companies the Dis
trict pays only for the maintenance Of
such lamps as are ordered. The COM
panies lay all conduits. make connec-
tions and furnish lamps. After eX-
planning this Mr.. Ross says:
For the proper lighting by cleo
trio arc lamps of the streets named
nineteen lamps are necessary on East
Capitol street, and thirteen lamps
around Lincoln Park. The cost Of the
former. at the maximum rate allow
ed by law. is S91.25 per annum. or a
total of S1733.75, and Of the latter ST.
lS6.25. The total cost per annum for
the entire service viii be 81 920.
In this connection il should be sta
ted that conduits extend on East Caps-
tol street only to Lincoln Park If it
is desired to light the streets around
the park Congressional authority
should be given for the construction of
the necessary conduits, such extension
being expressly prohibited under exist
ing law"
Mr. Ross letter is accompanied by
statement Of the estimated cost of
erection of the lamps and the building
OF the necessary conduit. the total
of which would be S4.9S735.
