Harper's Bazaar: ''Oh. Harold, do you
love me?" implored the bride of a month,
as her husband came in from his bust
ness and pressed his waiting wife to his
manly bosom.
"Well,'' said he, between kisses, what
do you infer from this operation?"
But, Harold, do you really and truly
love me-" she demanded, eager to hear
again from his lips what she had heard
many times before.
Yes, my darling, I love you dearly,
devotedly INCREASINGLY, constantly. ex-
cessively, amazingly, and any other ad-
verbs you happen to think Of"
''You are making fun of me, Harold,
and you ought not to do that" pouted the
bride.

squeezed her and kissed her again. Il

asked:
DO you lov me as much as you did
this morning, Harold?"
Il love you twice as much. my

to make her very happy.
But how little do men know about wo-

His bride looked at him sorrowfully.
and demanded:
"Oh. Harold. why. why did you love me
less this morning than you do now"
And she burst into tears.

RRuTusH CAPITAL IN CUBA.

Chicago, August More than
slO,O, $1,000 Of English capital has
been invested in Cuban tobacco
plantations. English firms con-
troll the Cuban tobacco market,
and the American importers of
Havana tobacco will hereafter
have to look to the English for
their goods.
James Granthsm Of London, a
representative of English capital
lists, who was in Chicago today on
his way to the Pacific Coast, is
authority for the foregoing state
mept. He has been some time in
Cuba. Recent investm ents Of
English capital in Cuba and Por-
to Rico are estimated by him at
about $1,000 1000. He said: at
is only matter of few years till
English capital will absolutely
control the Cuban and Porto
Rico commercial centers. The
Cubaus prefer TO trade with the
English to any other nationality,
because they speak Spanish and
the English houses grant from
sixty to ninety days time on
transactions and also show sam
pies of goods. American houses,
as a rule, demand at least part
payment in advance"

PENNSYLVANIA INTERESTS.
limitations to Commissioners Re
garding Electric Franchise.

County Commissioner Greer received a
letter yesterday from a man who has evil
IDENTIFY devoted considerable thought to the
suburban railroad situation. The letter was
in reference to the franchise granted a few
days ago over the National road to the west
county line. The right of way was secured
by D. p Erwin, d. NJ Parry and d. NJ.
Ransdell, who expect to build an electric
railway to Bridgeport and Plainhed. An
other company headed by S. o. Pickens,
attorney for the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company sought the franchise and offered
a bonus Of 81, 600 for it. The commissioners
decided, however, to award the franchise
to the other company and did so on Tues
day of this week.
A member of the board said yesterday,
after the letter received by Mr.. Greer had
been read There was some intimation
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
was back of the petition presented by Mr..
Pickens and others Some had the opinion
that the railroad company desired the fran
chise with no idea of ever building a road,
but simply to keep others from building
line" The letter received by Mr.. Greer was
along this line of reasoning. The wri,er in
closed a map of the district that would Dene-
fit by the building of the electric line, and
which contributes extensively TO the revenue
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The
name of the writer was not disclosed by
the board, but it was stated that "he is one
of the responsible citizens of the county,
The letter read:
I'm the competition for an electric road
to Plainfeld you will find a party who is
asking for a franchise, but who mas no in
tentton of building road The real fear
of this party is not so much the competition
of a parallel road to Plainfield as the ex-
tension of an electric railway on to Mon
rovia, Center Valley Hall and Eminence
a country so rich and fertile that inn

Mooresville or Clayton. What is wanted

of the best shipping stations within radius
of twenty miles from Indianapolis because
of proximity to this territory. The farmers
in this section could well afford to vote a
subsidy for the construction of an electric
road for the saving of the wear and tear
on their dirt roads and turnpikes which are
yearly worn out by the heavy teaming, to
say nothing of the increase to land values
such as an outlet would give. You can put
it down, Mr.. Greer, that no paid officer of
the Pennsylvania system could lend his in
fiuence to the construction of this road and
keep his job. They will fight this road just
as they have fought road into Richmond
1t is a part of their tactics. / am glad to
note that you have left them out in the
cold this time"

NIiIIer Since fhe Undertnker.

In the Superior Court yesterday Henry B.
Miller brought a 5000 action for damages
against Christian G. Weise an undertaken
of this city, and Andrew r. Van Sickle,
citizen of Martinsville. The suit grows out
of the attempt of Miller to ship the body
of his child from Martinsville to his home
in New Jersey last fall. The defendant Van
Sickle is a relative of the plaintiff. Miller
AYERS that in 1896 his child Hazel was
brought to Indiana by Van Sickle to reside.
In October, 1898, the child died and Miller
received q message from y an sickle mat he
body had been sent to Martnsville for
burial. The plaintiff asserts that he at once
came on to Indiana for the purpose of tax
ing the body of the child back 10 New Jer-
sey. He believed he says, that the little
girl died of acute pneumonia. When he ar
rived at Martinsville he found that the de-
PENDANT Van Sickle had caused a card to
be placed on the coffin indicating that the
child died of diphtheria. The railroad agent
refused to permit the body to be shipped
and Miller brought it to Indianapolis over
land. Here, he says, he fell i'll and the city
officials placed the body in the care of I'm
dertaker Weise. The latter, it is averred
promised to keep the body until Miller
should call for it. 1t is charged that he
failed to keep his word and turned the body
over to Van Sickle, who took it back TO
MartinSVille.

A JUROR IN DISGRACE
CORNELIUS CONWELL DISMISSED
FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Came Into the Jury Box Intoxicated
Henry ID. MiIIer's Suit-News
of the Courts.

Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, is try
ing the case of David Saferight against
Charles Bailey, in which the value of
horse is involved, with eleven jurors. The
twelfth man was sent home yesterday after
noon because, the court says, he was in
toxicated. The unfortunate juror is Corne-
Illus Conweu of No. $50 North Pennsylvania
street.
Shortly after court convened yesterday
afternoon it was discovered that Conwell
was not quite himself and his condition
created a mild sensation in the courtroom.
He grew very garrulous and insisted on
questioning witnesses himself. Several times
he put questions to witnesses and then turn
ing to the court would ask:
"Aint that right, judge Finally the at
torneys stopped proceedings and conferred
together They then talked with the judge,
who ordered the inebriated juror to leave the
box
Mr. ConweH, you will be excused to-day"
said the court, land 1 want to see you here
at o'clock tomorrow morning-sober."
ConwelI arose and stumbled from the box,
and with considerable dithculty kept his feet
as he left the courtroom
Il ought to have sent him to jail to sober
off, said Judge Allen after Conwel had
gone. The courts purpose in instructing the
man to return this morning was not TO have
HIM sit as a juror but TO inquire of him
what he meant by presenting hlmSelt IN the
courtroom in an intoxicated condition Inc
court grew very indignant over The incident
and Yesterday evening discussed IL with the
attorneys in the case. The lawyers were
disposed to intercede for Conwen and sug-
gesLed TO the court that the fact that the
man had been sent home IN disgrace was
perhaps sufficient punishment for him.
