uonors to an American Girl.

The proposal of the German Govern
ment to make Count Won Goetzen the
Governor o. German East Africa will
place former Baltimore girl upon as
hign social plane as that enjoyed by
Lady CuZon, formerly Miss Letter, of
Chicago. AS the wife of the Governor
OF German East Africa, Countess Won
Goctzen will be the frs lady among
G,O00000 people, and her position will
practically be that of royalty. The
Countess was Miss May Stanley Lon
ey, OF Baltimore, before her first mar
rlage with the late William Matthew
Law. who, dying, left his widow a
grea- fortune. During her residence
in Washington Mrs. Law met the
Count, who was Military Attache
TO the German Embassy. The wedding
took place on January q. 1898, and Il
few months later Count Won GoetZen
was recalled to Berlin by his Govern
ment. His mission in Africa is re-
garded as Il very high honor for so
young man, carrying with it, as il
does, such great responsibility and
power.

Senator Clark started in life driv-
ing a mule team to haul supplies into
Western mining camps To-day he is
the richest mining man in the Western
hemisphere, If not In the world. He
was asked these two questions:
How much Of a part does chance
play in achieving success In mining as
compared with scientific knowledge
and business ability?'
what are the chances for success
in mining as compared with other
lines of business?'
Here are his replies:
Chance may be a factor in the
acquisition of good mining property,
but there its operations cease. The de-
velopment and the operations which
follow depend largely ON technical
knowledge in the treatment of ores.

mining industry are equally good, II

Several thousand dollars bounty
none due Rear Admiral Sampson as
a result Of the Spanish war will be
paid him in a few days and checks for
varying sums issued to officers and
men of his command entitled to pay
ment.
The rear admiral's allowance will
exceed that of Admiral Dewey, who
has been paid $4,000. Under the
decision of the Court of Claims Rear
Admiral Sampson should receive S.
1886 as commander of the ships at San
tiago, but in addition he will get two
separate sums Of about $1,700 each
for the Manzanillo fight, about $1,000
for the action in Nipe Bay and a
smaller sum for other minor actions.
Altogether his bounty will be nearly
$13, 900.
The amount of bounty money that
Rear Admiral Schley will receive has
not been definitely estimated, but it
will be next to that received by Rear
Admiral Sampson. 1t is not believed
that it will exceed $4,000. or $4,000, if
so much.

Raleigh smoked his Virginia tobacco
in the presence of Queen Elizabeth in
or about the year 1886. Thirty-four
year earlier, however, Jean Moot, while
French ambassador to Portugal, pur-
chased some tobacco seeds that had
been brought over from Florida and
sent some of them to France. A year
later he presented some Of the plants
to Catherine DE Medici, and together
they smoked the dried leaves in pipes.
to recall that when tobacco smoking
was first introduced into Europe, first
by Moot and later by Raleigh, it vas
EXTREMITY unpopular. 1t was called
"the shrinking habit" and at least two
popes, Urban VIII. and Innocent XII,
issued DEGREES against it. A sultan of
Turkey-in which country smoking is

punishable by the offenders having
their pipes thrust through their noses.
In Russia the noses of the smokers

THE BOTHER CONSENTED

And Frank McGinnis, After Many DIFF.
hcuIties. Marrie Minnie Reed
Justice Shop News.
Last evening marked the final de-
~velopments in the elopement of Frank
McGinnis and Miss Minnie S. Reed,
when the young couple were quietly
married at the brides home. It will
be remembered that the young people
eloped n day last week and went to
st. C~lairsville to secure a license, but
the mother had heard OF their inten-
tions and had telephoned to the au-
thorities not to issue the license. When
the young couple arrived there they
were refused.
Next the couple went to Woodsfeld,
where they stayed several days with
friends. The mother notified them
Sunday that If they returned home all
would be forgiven, but it had no effect
and so yesterday a warrant was sworn
out before Squire Dunning charging
McGinnis with taking the girl from the
custody and care of her lawful guar
dian and secreted her from them. she
being under age and a minor. Under
the laws of this State this is a felony
and things were beginning 10 hook dark
for the young couple.
When young McGinnis heard of this
new move he decided to return to
Wheeling and arrived late yesterday
afternoon with the girl. Explanations
followed and the affair was settled by
the mother giving her consent and a
license wa secured last evening and
the young people were married. The
bride is just fourteen.

before exhibiting it publicly Mr.. Car

fire scene without a fire! All the ex-
element of glaring flames, cracking
timbers and threatening smoke, with
out a spark Of danger. The fire scenes
of the past have always been attended
with more or less danger, and those in
the audience who witnessed them
could not but have a feeling of nerv-
until they were over. The
burning of the great cotton mill in

plished without so much as the scratch
of a match.
