WOOES WIFE ANEW.
Returned KlOndilxer Finds Spouse
Divorced for Supposed
DesertiOn.

Three years ago Jerome w. Jordan,
Climax, left Butte Creek, Mich, with
party of men bound for the Klondike.
They went to Edmonton and Saskatche-
wan, Canada, by the Canadian Pacific
and started for the land of gold by the
overland route. After suffering untold
miseries all the party returned home
except Jordan, who succeeded in reach
ing the Klondike alive. He wrote to
his wife, but she never received the let
ters. She supposed that he had desert
ed her and after waiting over two years
sued for divorce, which was granted
her on the ground of desertion, but she
rejected all suitors.
Jordan delved and dug like slave
and finally struck it rich. Recently he
suddenly put in an appearance at the
old home, bronzed and toughened,
bringing with him a snug fortune of
100000.
Explanations followed. Jordan court
ed his. former wife anew and the other
day Jordan went to the county seat,
obtained marriage license and the
former husband and wife were again
reunited in matrimonial state.

PROVES A FAILURE.
Ideal Eome for Tramps Established
in New Jersey Is Closed Down.
The ''Weary whites" Fail to Patron
ize the tbs and Bar-
ber shop Connected There
with May Explain why.

Many hopes are blasted by the fail
ure of Terradelphia, the Utopia of
tramps in Trenton, N. j. The great
est disappointment of all is that of
Thomas NJ. Terradel, the founder, who
has devoted many years to his pet
scheme to establish self-supporting
home for the Weary Willies" of the
nation, and b. NJ. Brown, who last
April left Princeton theological sem
mary and abandoned the idea of be-
coming a minister in order to take
charge of the institution, and last are
the "hobos" left to the mercy of a
cold world at the beginning of win
ter.
Mr.. Brown has resigned and the in
stituton is now in charge of Mr.. Ter
radel. Interest is past due on mort
cages amounting to 100000.
A dozen years ago "Tom" Terradel,
an engineer on the Pennsylvania rail
road, gave up his position and invest
ed all his savings in this tramps' re-
treat, With the aid of Others he
erected siX-story building and the
scheme was launched, but the institu-
tion never prospered. The heirs of
Isaiah Williamson. a Philadelphia mil
lionaire. gave large sum of money
to put the institution on its feet.
Mr.. Brown was placed in charge and
all comforts, including baths. barber
shop, correspondence-rooms, tele-
phone, employment bureaus and read
ing-room, were offered.
Whether or not it was the baths
and barber shop that scared away
patrons is mot known, but the scheme
languished as much as ever.

TO SHUT OUT OUR WHEAT.
ARrarian Party of Germany Pushing
Effort to Increase Import Duties
on All Grains.

The agrarian party in Germany,
having successfully brought about a
Law at The last session of the reichs-
tag prohibiting, in effect, the itnpor-
tatiun of American canned meats, is
now using its powerful influences to
increase heavily the import duties on
all grains entering the empire, not
ably on wheat, reports United states
Consu. Diederich, at Bremen, to the
state department. The aim oi the
agraliars, according to the consul, is
to make Germany entirely independ-
e1lt of all countries for it's breadstuifs
and food supplies. 1T is difficult to
see," says Mr.. Diederich, "how the
proposed national legislation can have
any other effect in the long run than
to enhance the price of the daily
bread so needful to every man, wom-
an and child in this country" 1t is
impossible to understand, he says.
how the proposed duty can increase
the crops of wheat throughout Ger
many, or decrease the appetite of the
German people.
At present, however, says the con-
Rnl, there seems little doubt that the
proposed law will be passed by the
reichstag AS large portion of The
importation of wheat is American
grown, this will seriously affect the
interests of the American farmer.
"a duty of 40 or so cents on every
bushel of wheat" concludes Consul
Diederich, cannot fail to be well-nigh
prohibitive, and the consequence will
be more limited markets, fiercer com
petition and lower prices to the pro-
ducers."

where such instruction is authorized
by the educational authorities and
where the services of the instructors
are requested. The only expense to the
schools will be the cost of Communication
of quarters of the officers.
The preamble of the act recites that
as the national defense must depend
upon the volunteer service of the peo-
pie, the schools which shall adopt sys-
tenn of military instruction are en-
titled TO the assistance of the govern
ment, in order to secure to the United
States such knowledge of military af-
fairs among the youth of the country
as will render them efficient as volun-
teers, if called upon for the national
defense.
Col. Marsh sad 'If this measure is
adopted it will result in giving the
youth of the country military train

penetrated further south. and their
presence IN such centers of hostile
Dutch feeling as Graef Beinet consti-
tutes an element OF danger which did
not exist last January. The proclama-

the horses in the colony ought to have
been commandered or bought at the
first sign of invasion.
The correspondent complains Of the

show steady increase ever since that
