BRIDE IN STRANGE DILEMMA.
Connecticut Woman, Leaves Husband
Because She Cannot Tell Hin
from His Brothers,

Pretty Mrs. Louise levin, bride of
three days of Louis levin, a wealthy
merchant of New Britain, Conn, has
gone home to her mother in New
York.
my husband is a triplet." she says.
He has two brothers who look SO
nearly like him that 1 can't tell one
from another. It's too much Of Q
puzzle for me, so I think I will be
happier with my mother"
The marriage three days ago was
celebrated with great ceremony, but
the honeymoon was of brief standing.
The two brothers whom she saw for
the first time at the wedding were so
nearly like her usband in looks that
she confessed to her friends the Pc
culiar predicament she found herself
in when the three were about at the
same time.

Humor That the Pretty Widow n
to Marry p. A. Valentine Comes
from Europe.

No denial has been made at Chicago
Of the oft-repeated rumors that Mrs.
z. d. Armour, Jr., and P. A. Valen-
tine, treasurer of the firm of Armour

The couple are now in Europe, hav-
ing sailed on the same, steamer. and

and Paris at similar periods.
Even before their departure for the
Did world the names of Mr.. Valentine
and Mrs. Armour had been linked by
heir mutual friends and acquaint-
inces. Mr.. Valentine had been a
guest at more than one house party
given by the widow of the great
packers favorite son at her city

INCOMPETENT ENGLISH GIRLS.
Few of Them Can Perform satisfac-
tory Service to Their EN-
plOyers.

There is a general complaint in the
cities Of England that female domes-
tics are incompetent. On entering
service they are mostly incapable of
doing the simplest household work
without supervision, and that only
small proportion ever learn. The rea-
son is not far to seek. A couple of
generations ago half the cottages in
England were schools for the teaching
of domestic arts. These are no longer
taught because they are no longer
a,racticed. Baking and brewing, cut
'sing out and cutting down clothes.

poultry, the economical use of food
all these will soon be arts perditae, as
far as the cottage is concerned. Wom-

bands shirts. Give nine cottage wom-
en- out Of ten nowadays a couple of
dozen yards of calico and they could no
more turn it into shirts than they
could turn a lump of pig iron into .
dinner knife.
Cooking, even in its simplest form, Is
being supplanted by the use Of timed
provisions. To boil potatoes and ba-
con or to fry a bit of meat in pan is
about as much as the housewife can
do. Women of the type Of 'Lisbeth
Bede have been discouraged out Of ex-
istence. The cottage woman OF to-
day has her pride, but it is not in the
home. She slaves to save her girls
from what she and they alike have
learned TO regard as degrading drudg-
cry - the necessary work of
house. All she can save goes on their
backs. "Look at them, when they go
out" she says; "you couldn't tell them
from the Miss Swetstones themselves"
But when they go to service they have
learned next to nothing. Least of all
have they learned to learn.

@UR1OSITY and a love of travel
~ combined caused rue to take an
extensive trip through the ag-
ricultural sections of Western Canada
during the past summer, and while
there l was given the best of opportu-
,, cities of studying and judging for my
self of the conditions that exist in that
extensive section of our continent.
After had travelled over few mil
lion acres of Western Canada, and
watched and studied what at first
seemed to me an extravagant waste of
land on the part of the farmers, be-
came better acquainted with condi-
tions and the very good reasons for
this seeming wastage.
L had been used to the farming oper-
atoms of the more thickly populated
States, where to make farming pay it
was necessary to cultivate practically
every foot Of ground; where it was the
rule rather than the exception to go
to the length of blasting out, if neces-
sary. heavily rooted trees or large
powders; where much of the farm
land was secured by clearing it of tim
Der and stones, which had been accom-
plished only after years of toll and
privation on the part of the frst set
/ tiers. There travelled with me over
these millions of acres of Canadian soil
| a gentleman who had been reared upon
just this sort of farm in Michigan,
and, as he expressed it, ''land was so
scarce and so valuable because of it's
scarcity that we had to cultivate even
the corners of the rail fences"
But in my journey through the agri-
cultural section of Western Canada
ranging from Winnipeg on the east to
the Rocky Mountains on the west, and
from the international boundary on
the south to the Saskatchewan river
and beyond on the north, l saw notn-
ing that savored of our method of
"fence corner farming" and in time
I learned the reason for the little I'M
cultivated tracts.

able commodity in Western Canada. In

MORE SMALLPOXONKAUA|
CASE DISCOVERED AMONG PORTO
RICANS AT wAIMEA.
Board of Health Asked For More
Vaccine as Government Physicians
Wanted to Vaccinate Other Laborers.

Another case of smallpox among the
Porto Ricans on Kauai is reported. The
news was brought to Honolulu yester-
day by the steamer Mikahala and was
officially confirmed by the Board of
Health today, as a report from the gov
ernment physician at Waimea was re-
ceived by the Kauai mail yesterday.
The case is among the Porto Rlcan
laboreFs at Waimea plantation.
1t was discovered on the evening OF
April 18th, a young man about 25 years
of age being the victim. He was at
once isolated and the quarters where
he had lived fumigated. DR. Sandow the
government physician called in DR..
Wilkinson of Makaweli and the two
diagnosed the case as smallpox, all of
the symptoms Indicating that the man
was suffering from that disease Af-
ter caring for the patient DIR. Sandow
began to Vaccinate all of the other Por-
to Ricans. BY the mail of yesterday he
sent history of the case to the board
of health and requested that more vac
cine be forwarded without delay as his
supply was running short DIR. Pratt
the executive officer of the board sent
the stuff away on today's steamer.
1t was reported by some of the pas
sengers on the Mil1ahala that the small
poX was more general, as three people
were down with the disease. This
statement is evidently the result of ru-
mors for the board of health would, be-
yond any doubt have been notified by
DR.. Sandow if there were more than
one case.
The present case at Waimea makes
the second discovery of smallpox
among the Porto Ricans on Kauai A
little over a week ago another case was
| discovered among the Porto Ricans at
Lihue plantation. The disease did not
spread among the other laborers how
ever. Now it appears to have jumped
over to Waimea. How the disease was
contracted is not known. 1t may have
been through clothes which were sent
there but thus far the physicians have
not positively ascertained the cause.

WERE AFRAIDOF SMALLPOX
MANY PEOPLE CANCEL PASSAGE
ON THE DORIC.
Steamship Arrived Early This Morning
From San Francisco With Small List
of Passengers for Orient.

The Doric arrived from San Fran
cisco early this morning and docked at
the Pacific Mail wharf at 1880 o'clock.
this port and, in fact, had very light
passenger list to the Orient. No less
than forty-five people had booked to
sail from San Francisco but owing to
smallpox having been on the vessel
when she came through here from the
Orient last month, the prospective pas
sengers became frightened and cam
celed their passage.
The Doric left San Francisco Friday,
April 25th and brought five days later
mail and papers. The mail was taken
to the quarantine wharf and fumigat-
ed before being sent to the postal au-
thorities for distribution. The Doric
sighted no vessels coming down and a
pleasant trip was experienced.
Among her passengers are Mr.. and
Mrs. Hugh Tevis of San Francisco. The
recent marriage of the couple was the
cause of considerable notoriety in the
San Francisco press as the young wo-
man Tilted a wealthy Denver man for
Mr.. Tevis after very brief acquain-
tance with the wealthy young Califor-
nian. They are en- route to the Orient
on a pleasure trip.
The vessel will take one lay-oVer
passenger in the cabin, one in the Eu-
ropean steerage and about 100 Japanese
and Chinese in the Asiatic steerage.
She will get away at O'Clock this
afternoon for Japan and China.
