INVOLVES A PRETTY ROMANCE
Interesting History Connected with
the SpaldinG-Mayer
wedding.

There is said TO be a pretty romance
in the marriage of A. G. Spalding and
Mrs. Elizabeth Mayer in San Diego,
CAl, the other day.
1t goes back TO the time when he,
young man, first pitched for the
Forest City baseball team of Rockford.
That was in 1865. There he met the
young girl who afterward became Mrs.
Mayer, and they fell in love. Both
were in their teens, but they became
engaged, fixing the time for the we'd
ding when Spalding should have
enough money TO support a wife.
But there came lovers quarrel, and
Spalding left Rockford 10 go TO Boston,
where for four years his team won the
National association championship.
He married and she married. Less
than two years ago his wife died. Mrs.
Mayer had become q widow several
years before. A few weeks ago Mrs.
Mayer went 10 San Francisco with an
invalid sister. Mr.. Spalding was there
on business, they met for the first time
In many years and the old flame was
rekindled.

IMMENSE CONTRACTS.
10 BE Let In Connection with Com
pletion of Chinese Railroad.
hnAstan Financier, Adolf Rothstein,
fnfimates That s4O,0OO,Ooo
Worth of Work VIII Come
90 United states.

Adolf Rothstein, the Russian imam
cier, before sailing for Europe said or
the Chinese Eastern railroad:
up to the present we have expend-
ed. some $40, 100000, but before com
pletinn an additional 100000, 900 Will
be ddsbursed. The road will not be
completed for, 1 should say, quite 10
months, as we find we shall have TO
bore tunnel some four and hall
miles long on the Russian side of Har-
bin, the headquarters of the railroad.
The benefits which American manu-
facturers will derive in the shape OF
contracts will be most important> The
proposal for the awarding OF the i'm
mense contracts for material, etc., have
to be first submitted to the Russian
government, as 1t has guaranteed the
payment OF interest on the bonds OF the
road. Mr.. Witte, the minister of
finance, has assured me, however, that
he win place no obstacle in the way
of contracts being sent to, the United
States, which, in diplomatic language,
take TO mean that he might OBJ
ject TO the filing Of orders in other
foreign countries. l am therefore safe
in stating that possibly everything re-
quired outside Russia will be purchased
in this country. 1t is hard at the pres
ent stage TO arrive at other than ap-
proximate figures of what the material
and rolling stock contracts for the
Chinese Eastern railroad will amount
TO, but consider that they will reach
an aggregate of about S40,O00,o00. I
may also state that as the cars gov
ernment is extremely friendly 20 the
United States IL may be counted on
as a certainty that in the many COM
mercial undertakings-both railroad
and ndustrial-which Russia is now
becoming interested In preference viii
be given American manufacturers foY
the supply of requisite material, etc"
Besides his railroad enterprise, Mr..
Rothstein has secured concession
from the Russian government for the
working of gold regions, situated
about 100 miles north of the city of
Vladivostock, In the Primorsk, state
of Siberia. "Since l have been here
he said, II have received two cables
informing me of additional rich dis
coveries of gold. Later on American
capital will be brought into the scheme
and, of course, all the machinery viii
be purchased in the United States"

The Money for Establishing n Plant

The money for the Pine Tar Chemical
Company, which IS establishing a plant
that will soon be ready for operation at
four-mile hill on the Central, is being
furnished by Northern men who believe
they will get a fair return for their in
vestment. 1t is the purpose of the COM
rany to extract all valuable products from
waste lumber and green pine wood. The
undertaking is understood to be but an
experiment. 1t is one, however, of which
the promoters have but little doubt, and
it is said it is their intention to quadru-
Pile the . ant al soon as it is aScertained

If many other ventures are embarked
upon at Four-Mile Hill, it will not be
long before it will become a scene of ac-
tivity. Some time ago a corral was es-
tablished there by a stock firm to fatten
beeves for market. From hauling the cat
tie and the wood for the chemical plant,
when it is in running order, the road will
derive considerable revenue. The Central
is active in it's efforts to establish such
industries along its lire.

is quite an acquisition for our Savannah

those the Central has newly acquired. All
three are of the same type, and their
numbers are 10, 20 and 81. Each has
twelve berths and a drawing ROOM be-
sides the smoking room and lavatories.
Pintsch gas supplies the Illumination,
which is brilliant, as great lamps are
closely arranged overhead. The cars are
also fitted with electric wiring, so that. if
it should be decided to use electricity.
there will be no difficulty.
The interior of the cars is very hand
some. They are finished throughout with
mahogany. the ceiling being of primeve
rea, or white, mahogany. Decorative eff
feet has been rather avoided, it being de-
sired TO miss the dust that ornamentation
catches. The appointments are very rich
and the eye is pleased and rested by the
thorough harmony it encounters upon en-
countering the interior.
A number of the latest improvements
in details are to be seen about the cars
and the Centraps passengers will be i'm.
pressed when they see them. The car:
are fitted with wide vestibules, and from
the moment the foot touches the frs
step one is struck by the elegance and
taste shown in their construction. Those
who DatrOnize the Central will appreciate
the new sleepers.
