FOR A BRIDE
PARTED FOR EIGHT YEARS
Prospective bridegroom Talks En-

Conditions.

The marriage Of Edward ]. Norton, OF
Ijnon Costa RIGA, Central America, and
Miss Helen R. Whitaker, of East Tenth
| street. will take place tomorrow at Miss
! Whitaker's home The couple will soon
after take up their residence In I-mon.
Costa Rica. Mr. Norton Is the manager
of the mercantile department of the
United Fruit company. of Costa Rica,
and has lived in that country for eight
years.
Mr Norton has journeyed all the way
from Costa RIGA to meet his bride, whom
he has not seen for the past eight years.
His grandfather was James Akers, who
came to St Paul with A. L. Larpenteur,
MANY years ago. Mr.. Norton was born
and reared In this city, and was for
number of years employed by the firm
of P. r. L. Hardenbergh & Co.
In speaking with a G ! o reporter
Yesterday Mr.. Norton gave the following
brief account of his Central American
home and his business. He said:
1.-THE company with which 1 am con-
nected is d Boston corporation, and, I'M
der concession from the Costa Rican gov
eminent, controls extensive interests in
that country. It controls the banana
trade of the United States, employing a
fleet of seventy-three steamers in the
trade, of which fifty were especially built
for the fruit business. My company owns
800 square miles of banana land, distrib-
uted in various plantations in Costa Rica,
Honduras, Nicaragua, Hayti, jamaica,
Cuba and Porto Rico and South America.
1 do not mean we own all the banana
land in the Western hemisphere, for there
are Independent growers with whom we
make contracts and so control the entire
banana business. By the use of machin-
cry we can load one of our steamers in
one day with a cargo of from $4,000 to
% 600 punches. Each steamer is hand
somely fitted up for the passenger traffic
and the passenger business Is extensive
and profitable The mercantile branch Of
our business, with which 1 connected,
is merely collateral interest, found nee
essary to supplement our regular bust
ness I find the climate Of Costa Rica
decidedly agreeable and am much less
affected by the heat there than here. The
average temperature is 81 degrees. In Ii
mon we have the sea breezes on the one
hand and the mountain winds on the
other, for a spur of the Andes is only
forty miles distant from the town. IL
mon contains 5000 inhabitants, and Its
| many improvements, equal to those of
much larger cities, would astonish st.

MINNESOTA STATE BAND.
1t VIII Be the Attraction Mt Como
This Week

The Minnesota State band. under the
capable direction Of c. M Selling, will
be the attraction at Como Park this af-
ternoon and evening, Director Selling
having prepared two very fine pro-
grammes of diversified music for this
occasion.
Director Settings musicians are among
the best In this part of the world. They
are the pick of the old Danz band and
several of the soIoists have been i'm
ported from first class organizations In
Milwaukee and Chicago. Some of the
soloists are noted performers and the
critical musician needs only to hear them
to be convinced of this fact
Director Selling has arranged for TODAY
two programmes which contain MANY of
the more Popular selections, bits from the
best known operas, overtures, songs
dances and rag time melodies There are
also included en- each bill one Or two of
the higher class compositions, these being
included TO afford contrast and please
the technical musicians in the audience.
The band gives Wagner and the other
great composers in splendid style and
with a finish that indicates careful and
painstaking rehearsal.

ENLARGEs ITS FORCE.
st. PauI's Importance as News
Center Is Recognized.

The Associated Press, realizing the i'm
portance of the Northwest as news
field and the necessity for covering It
even more thoroughly than in the past,
has decided to increase its force at this
point. St Paul is not only news col
lecting center, but is also the distribut-
ing point for the Northwest This is a
natural result of existing affairs here, for
st. Paul is the state capital, here are the
army headquarters. the official headquar-
tiers of many railroads, United States
court offices and the archbishop of the
Catholic church and other lesser interests
look to ST Paul as their official home
This and adjoining states receive their
telegraphic news from here, and this ter
ritory of the Associated Press has been
growing in Importance yearly. There
have been additions to the operating force
from time to time. For the past dozen
years Benjamin C. Cowen has been cor
respondent of the Associat ted Press here
and he seems likely to remain in that no.
sition for some time. Milton Garges. for
more than twelve years, has been in the
local office. He has now been promoted
to assistant correspondent, and r. V

He says that the driver of the wagon

Cook says that when they met the
driver tried to wedge him in between his
wagon and the curbstone but that he
turned quickly and escaped being pinned

ne says the driver sneered at him and
tried to taunt him. He threatens to have
