With the marriage in Cincinnati of James Gilmer, q business man Of Kan-i sas City, and Mrs. K. A. Ferron, of St. Louis, ended story that rivals any fc- ton.

INGENIOUS EXCUSE.
Army Chaplain Assigned to Duty in Philippines Finds He Is Too,
 Old to Serve.

Rev. J. s. seibold, an army chaplain stationed at Fort Canby, Washington, md under orders for duty in the Phil-l tppines, has made a curious1y timely discovery, He has advised the war de-l partment that he is three years older than he supposed and was recorded on the official files.

"Yes, was by Kaiser Wilhelm kissed, in Dusseldorf once; yes, he was to me niee-you speak German? No? Is that not too bad? l could in German good explain how the kaiser did" So spoket Baroness von Strants, known to the. German stage as Ann Fuehring, who ar-l rived on the steamer Trave, and is nowl staying at the Hotel BeIvidere, New York city. She was asked to tell thei much-heralded story of the imperial os- eulation at Dusseldorf.
 The baroness is a fine type of leu tonic classic beauty. She is more than six feet tall, and no better figure can be conceived for the role of s.Germania.p with which she enchanted the ruler Of the fatherland.
 The baroness exhibited with great pride diamond studded bracelet which the kaiser gave her on that occasion.I Also fine silver shield which the kaiser's grandfather, two weeks before his death, presented to her when she. played the Maid of Orleans' in Ger man for the first time.

WHITE SLAVES.
Efforts Making to Stop the Cursed
 Traffic In Russia.

St. Petersburg Cor. New York Times: In view of the International CongI ess to be held in London at the end of the present month for the dis cussion of the best measure to be taken for the prevention of the white slave" traffic, the Novosti has lately been publishing detailed accounts of the manner in which this business is car ried on in Russia. The trade has de- veloped to great extent in the past few years throughout Western Europe, but the town of Jassy is it's center. The women are bought, particularly at Leipsic, during the great annual fair. but it is the capital of Moldavia, which $ the central point of the traffic, just as khartoum was formerly the mar ket place for the human merchandise imported from Abyssinia and Central Africa. From Jassy the merchandise IS directed to Russia and Turkey. Next to Jassy, Brussels has become the most important center for this business. The white slaves destined for Russia are generally sent to Riga or to Wilma, where the wholesale merchants from St. Petersburg and Moscow meet to make their selections. These they transfer at once to the principal eities of the empire and to the remote proys inces of Siberia. There was recently arrested in Odessa an agent of the principal Russian white slave" mer- chants, and at his residence volumi- nous correspondence. with subagents at Jassy, Brussels, Riga and elsewhere, was found. Thanks to this edifying correspondence, the Russian police as- eertained that white slave agencies ex- ist throughout Russia, in rural dis triets as we'll as in the principal cities and towns. In some of these letters the sub-agents mentioned that they had exceptionally fine merchandise at relatively low price. five parcels (sic) in all" Then there followed detailed description Of the goods The Odessa agent in question has been exiled to Siberia, where he will spend the next ten years. From what I hear, the Rus sian government considers the white slave traffic as an international curse. which can only be successfully eradi- cated by the united efforts of all civil ized nations. It is we'll known that the czarina is herself deeply interested in this matter.

WANTS NAVAL STATION.
Why Britain Is So Anxious to Obtain Control of n Harbor on the
 Northern Pacific Coast.

Congressman James Hamilton Lewis, of the state of Washington, who was in London during the consideration of the Alaskan boundary question, rep resenting the owners of property in the disputed territory, has arrived in New York. "I was informed by no less a, person than Sir Louis Davies" said Mr. Lewis. that he had assured Mr. Ghoate that Canada would cede Skaguay and Taiya absolutely without any claim. al- though they are within the disputed territory, in return for Pyramid har- bor, the remainder of the dispute to be decided upon the basis of the Ven ezuelan arbitration.
 ''This proposition was pending when the temporary modus was agreed upon ht Washington.
 What Canada really wants is not a commercial depot, but a naval station like Esquimalt.
 Great Britain foresees possible trou- ble with Russia over the division of China and knows that she will have 10 fight it out in the northern Pacific. She realizes that trouble may arise over the Canada boundary at any time that she might have misunderstand- ing with us. She wants a mastering station on the Alaskan coast. We're she to have war with us, now that we have islands in the Pacific, she could come, out and attack us. That, I believe, is the reason Canada would give up SO much to obtain port there"

While telling his companions or the money he expected in few days from one of his inventions, John Rourke died the other night in his ehair in the Model lodging house, Chr sago.
 For the last week Rourke, who was 50 years old, had been without money, and while allowed to sleep in the lodg.- ing house he had been unable to pur- chase sufficient food, and had grown weak and emaciated as result.
 For years he had been at work on gas engine which he had invented, and g. patent had been applied for.

the manner in which the farmers in the

necessary TO repeat a statement recently
made by Mr. Hester, of New Orleans,
that ont OF an annual cotton RECEIPT of
one million three hundred thousand
bales IN that city over thirty seven thous-
and bales were made up out of sam Piles
which had been ruthlessly plucked from
the bales By the men who handled them.
which should have gone into the parishes
