BOND OF THE EAST AND WEST
One of Distinguished Party of News
paper Men Discusses the Nn-
tiOn's Destiny.

CHICAGO May 16-The eastern members
OF the Associated Press arrived in Chicago
from New York tonight on special train
over the Baltimore & Ohio road. The trip
was made considerably under schedule time.
In many instances miles were made as low
as hfty-siX seconds. They will attend the
regular annual meeting of the Associated
fress, to be held tomorrow in Recital hall
at the Auditorium, and in the evening will
be present at the annual banquet to be given
in the Auditorium banquet hall. The mem
bers will return east over the Baltimore G.
Ohio Thursday.
st. Clair McKelway, editor of the Brook
lyn Eagle was among the party. In an in
terview, he said: Every time I come to
Chicago or go farther west / am impressed
with the need the east and the west have
Tor one another, and with the senselessness
or misunderstanding things between them.
The east is the curb rein and the west
is the spur. Both are necessary Neither
should quarrel with the other As progress
Is the rule of nations life, the spur has
more TO do with the pace of the national
nag, and Uncle Sam has never failed of
purse or place in the worlds sweepstakes.
Missouri born, New York raised. news
paper trained frankly admit that the heart
and future of this republic depend on ques-
tions that are going to be settled by the
great west. The west is going to teach the
rest Of the country how to solve the prob
lem OF squarng political economy with the
rights of humanity The east sees little
but hard and fast doctrines The west mixes
sentiment with them The result is an eff
feryescence in both parties, but moneyhood
and manhood will soon find they must agree
and that manhood must come to the top.
THE destiny of expansion was stamped
on this country when eastern adyenturers
opened up the western reserve and when
southern adyenturers pushed beyond the
Mississippi, Both spread over the prairies
till they gathered strength, cause and pur-
pose to break a trail through and over the
Rocky mountains TO the Pacific. And the
like spirit has planted our flag in the Phil
ippines-there to stay II was not accident
1t was providence, it was prophecy that Lin
coin, Grant and Mckinley, westerners, all,
have wrought out the greatest issues Of the
century. The first abolished domestic
slavery. The second saved the union. The
third brought to an end European oppres-
sion on American soil and started this ma
tion on nations role in the world Of ma
tions. Who sees not western primacy in
this can see nothing Alright.

HIS COURTESY TO GERMANS
Teutons Feel that Kautz's Policy Was
i'm Marked Contrast to that
of the British.

WASHINGTON, May simultaneously
with the publication of Admiral Kautzs re-
port adyices have been received here by
way of Germany, proving that the American
admiral and the Americans in general have
acted with marked consideration and court
esy toward the Germans in Samoa. This
attitude was all the more gratifying to the
Germans, as 1t was in contrast with the
policy pursued by the British commander
and consul there. While the English raised
difficulties to the granting of passports to
Germans desirous of passing the lines and
would not even let the German consul pass,
the Americans readily granted passports to
every respectable German as far as the
American lines were concerned Moreover,
Admiral Kautz issued an order to let all
German officers and men in uniform pass
the lines at any time without subjecting
them to molestation.
The behavior of the American outposts,
part of whom were German Americans, was
on the whole most praseworthy and all
that could be desired, say the German ad-
vices which also note that Admiral Kautz
exercised a restraining influence upon Cap
tain Sturdee This officer informed the rep
resentatives of the German firm of O. Riedel
on March 10, that he would fire without any
previous warning into the house Of the firm
n Mataafa and his men should approach It.,
but on being notified of Admiral kaut2's
promise not to fire over Apa said he would
consider the promise Of Admiral Kautz as
binding upon himself
II is gratifying TO note chat the personal
intercourse between the commanders and
officers OF the various men of war was at

ROMANTIC ST. LOUIS WEDDING
Two Young People Married the
Quiet VIII Spend Honeymoon
in NcbrnsISn.

ST. LOUIS, May 16. - (Special.) - Gu
pid scored another victory at Clayton yes
terday in the marriage of jerome 3. Selick
OF 4559 Cook avenue, a shoe salesman, to
Miss Clara Victoria Harrington, the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. f. H. Harrington
of 212O Waverly Place.
The couple drove out to Clayton yesterday
afternoon without notifying any of their rel
atives friends except Warren McClelland
and Mrs. Sam Hoffman, who accompanied
them. The trip to the county seat was made
in a closed carriage, without ostentation or
display, with a view of escaping attention
They hoped TO keep their wedding secret for
a few days, at least, and spring it on their
relatives and friends as a surprise, and were
very much chagrined when they found that
be avoided. Another reason for secrecy is
said to be the fact that the bride has figured
in several other romantic love affairs which
got into the papers.
Rev. l.. Mcconnell, pastor of the Metho-
dist church at Clayton, tied the nuptial
knot in the parlors of the parsonage, and
they returned to the city to take a train for
Hoskins, Neb., Mr.. Selick's former home,
on their wedding tour.
Mrs. Harrington, the brides mother, was
at home when reporter called at 2l20
Wavery Place last evening, and was very
much surprised when told that her daughter
had been married at Clayton. She knew
that the young people We're engaged, but it
had been understood that they would not
be married until next fall, and was at
loss to know why her daughter had chosen
that method of surprise, unless it was sim
ply to satisfy her own love of romance as
there was not the slightesr parental obstacle
to the match. After brief honeymoon the
bridal couple will return to st. Louis to
reside.

4 RoynI. .Iun-keener.

The King of Wurtemburg may cer- tainly be said to be the only Knight of the Garter who is a hotel-keeper as yell as monarch. This has long been ! tradition in his family, but not till lately was ii discovered by the rulers of the beautiful little German kingdom how profitable inn-keeping can be. come. When Peter the Great was travelling incognito through Europe he refused to stop anywhere but at an inn. To circumvent this whim the then King of Wurtemburg put a tavern sign outside one of the royal palaces, and dressed as an inn-keeper, himself well comed the czar. This royal personage's s descendant now owns two large hotels. from which he is said to derive a rev enue of 912.000 a year.

New York, with all it's greatness, is in some respects the most condensed place on earth. Down in Mulberry street there is a shop just wide enough for cobblers bench and hardly long enough to permit three customers to stand in line. Here the industrious doctor of soles sits all day long and plies his trade, interrupted occasional. ly by a customer, who obscures his day light.
 There are cigar stores go diminuttve that man can scarcely turn around in them. In Broadway, not far from Herald Square, is a place for the sale of the fragrant weed in which cuss toner can hardly lift his arm without knocking down a box of cigarettes or a pile of stogies. It's the proper thing for the purchaser to back out of the place after cautiously applying the match to his recently acquired cigar.
 Smallest of all is a restaurant near the South ferry, where there are a shelf and three chairs, and the pies are placed on edge. On busy days those who desire the particular brand of crullers. stew and coffee offered there for sale are obliged to wait outside the dCo~ for place at the shelf.
