Directions.

Cupid played some odd pranks with,
James II. Geltner, of Bethlehem, and|
his bride, Pearl Knowland, of Indian
apoliS, Ind, but they finally outwittedi
him.
They were to have been married at
indianapolis, but the bride decided to.
have the ceremony performed at the
home of her cousin, Mrs. James Ber-
ry, of Jacksonville. She wrote Geltner
letter, saying she would meet him,
there on the appointed day.
He failed to get the letter, and took,
q train for indianapolis. In blissful
ignorance he passed train en- route
on which his bride was going to keep,
her supposed engagement at Jefferson
vile.
They arrived at their destinations.
and, finding no one waiting for them,
decided to return at once, in the hope
of locating the missing loved one.
Again they passed each other en- route.
The bride again started toward the
Ohio. AS she stepped from the train
at Jeffersonville she encountered the
anxious groom waiting for another
train to Indianapolis. They repairedl
to the home of the cousin and Rev.
George II. Finger united them in MARI
riage.

PORTO RICO SCHOOLS.
Victor 3. Clark, sub-Director OF Education,
Reports That They Are In Very
Crude Condition.

Washington, April EN- report to
the secretary of war, DIR. Victor S.
Clark, sub-drector of public instruction
in Porto Rico, says that only $50 a
month can be offered to American
teachers, with transportation to the is
land from New York, The English
speaking supervisors are men, and
through them it is hoped to weed out
abuses and develop some system of con-
troll. AS understood in this country
there is no system of higher education
in Porto Rico. No school on the is
land affords adequate preparation for
American college work. There is no
co-education Of the sexes. No school
houses exist on the island, the schools
usually being held at the residences
of the teachers Only a part of the
pupils have textbooks. About 525
schools are reported in the island and
little over 100000 is annually paid
for their support. A great desire is
manifested to learn English. New
textbooks are being published in this
country to replace the Spanish books
now in use. A pedagogical museum
and American library have been estab-
lished in San Juan.

JURY SAYS "NOT GUILTY"
United States Senator Quay Cleared of the
Charge OF Conspiracy Gov. Stone APP
points Him Senator.

Philadelphia, April ~. - Matthew
Stanley Quay was yesterday declared
by jury of his peers to be not guilty Of
the charge of conspiring to use for his
own unlawful gain and profit the funds
of the state of Pennsylvania, deposited
in the Peoples bank, of this city. This
verdict was announced by the foreman
of the jury just as the hands of the
courthouse time piece pointed to IL
o'clock. When the jurymen had taken
their seats in the box the senator
turned and half faced them. The ques-
ton, How say you, gentlemen Of
the jury; do you find the prisoner at the
bar guilty or not guilty?' brought
promptly from the foreman's lips the
words, Not guilty" and at this point
Senator Quay's face flushed and he
seemed momentarily as if about to be
overcome by the feeling of emotion
that was surging over him. This was
only for an instant, however, and the
great political leader was his impertur-
bable self again as he smilingly re-
sponded to the congratulations that
were being heaped upon him. His only
comment on the verdict was: "Well, L
expected it"
The case went to the jury at three
o'clock Thursday afternoon, and four
ballots were taken before the final de-
cision was reached. The first ballot
stood ten to two for acquittal; the next
two stood II to one. The one standing
out for conviction by this time had
very much modified his reasons for con-
viction and when the last ballot was
taken he voted for acquittal.
Gov. Stone Appoints Quay Senator.
Harrisburg, Pa. April 2.-Immedi-
ately on receipt of the news that Col.
Quay was acquitted of the charges
against him, Gov. Stone appointed him
United States senator to fill the vacancy
until the next legislature meets, and
notified Vice President Hobart as fol-
lows:
Sir: BY virtue OF the power invested in me as
executive of the state Of Pennsylvania, under
article /, clause ., section Of the constitution
Of the United States, hereby make temporary
appointment OF the Hon. Matthew Stanley
Quay to be United States senator from Penn
sylvania until the next meeting of the Pennsyl-
vanla legislature to fill the vacancy now exist
ing in this state Very respectfully,
WILLIAM A. STONE,
Governor Of Pennsylvania.
Gov. Stone said that in appointing
Col. Quay he felt that he had done the
fit and proper thing. He thought it
would make the issue, and is better
done now than by waiting for weeks.
The authority cited by the governor
says that the governor of any state
may make temporary appointment dur
ing a recess to hold until until the next
legislature meets.

Milwaukee, April GA representa-

for plans of proposed structure at the

day morning that he was unfortunately
just out of plans, for COW had eaten
them. 1t proved to be fact that the

from the table upon which they
were being examined into barn
nearby and the COW did the rest and ID
apparently none the worse for her
strange food.

win ston Anvwboro for Passonrers

Atchison, Kan, April 22.-There is a
movement on foot to secure for Atchi-
son the Winner electric line which is
now being built from Leavenworth to
Kansas City. Mr.. Winners idea is to
cross the river at Atchison and build
on to st. Joseph. 1t is argued that the
electric line will not compete with the
railroads for Kansas City passenger
business, but will reduce the price of
hauling coal one-half. The proposed
electric line will also be an advantage
in bringing farmers to town, as stops
will be made anywhere for passengers.

conference at The Hague may achieve
results of far reaching character, al

ent with military and strategic usage,
This plan is said to be quite apart
from any sentimental idea and is
based upon strict military considers
tions.

man, a close associate of Richard

vestigating commission that he was in
the habit of giving to Croker u part of
his salary as an officer of the United
States Fidelity e. Guaranty company,
which does an immense business in
making bonds for municipal employees.

testified that he had received dividends
from the surety company, while to-day
it developed that the company had not
paid dividends. Mr.. Freedman ex-
planned on the stand, in reply to a Sc
ries of questions, that Mr.. Croker is a
stakeholder in the company, and is in
terested in the business success of the
metropolitan district; that he, the wit
ness, received a salary of $15, 900 year
as manager for this territory and COM
MISSIONS and that he divided money

paid to Croker and said further that he
thought Mr.. Croker might be under the

ment, the policy holder being paid

former salary, the difference win be
made up by the company.
