IT WILL Be
A DOUBLE
WEDDING
Chums Preserve Friendship,
Win Twin Sisters and Will
Live in Same House.

Louisville. Aug. 1.-Two young men
who have been close friends ever since
they were children will marry twin sis
ters on Aug. 20. 1t will be a double we'd
ding. After the ceremony they will take
an Eastern trip together. and on their re-
turn will live In the same house.
Irvine f. Rummage and Joseph Bron-
merit are the men. and they live in this
city close together. They were compan-
ions in all the childish games and there
was rarely an angry word between them.
The two started TO school together, and
kept pace with each other in their studies.
AS they approached manhood the subject
OF marriage was discussed. and they
agreed they would never allow any woman
10 break their close relations. They de-
cided to wait until they could find two
girls who were chums or sisters.
About four years ago the two young
men parted for the first time. Rum
mage enlisted IN the army and was as
signed to Western station Bronnort
remained In louisville as photog-
rapher
One day as his regiment was passing
through St Louis Rummage met Miss
Amy Spillman. 1t was a case OF love at
hrst sight, and Rummage wrote TO MS
friend In Louisville that he met tho girl
whom he desired 10 marry.
He also wrote that Miss Spillman had a
twin sister. Belle, and inclosed a letter m
Producing Bonnert TO her. Bonnert at once
began correspondence with Belle.
Three months ago Rummage was trans
ferred 70 ST. Louis He telegraphed TO his
chum to meet him there. Together
they visited the two sisters. and together
they proposed and were accepted. Then
the double wedding was planned.

Their Ailments, How They Should Be

Character writes itself most surely

Elderly people really need less sleep
than the young, but they should never
theless secure all that they can, for it
is sleep that is our great restorer all
through life. They also require a
lighter and less hearty diet than when
in their prime. They should eat less
solid and rich food, and what they do
eat should be especially tender and
properly cooked. To masticate well is
more important now than ever be-
fore and those suffering with defective
teeth should at once have them filled
or replaced by artificial ones.

WRAPS FOR AUTUMN.
Comfortable and Graceful CIoaIxs
That Are Capital for Coun-
try Wear.


There is delightfully."- graceful au-
tumn wrap in a plaid material, gray
and fawn. with q streak of yellow, to
be made something like a mans even
ing cape without a collar, says the New
York Evening Posts fashion authority.
The cloak will hang from the shoulders
in multitude of natural plaits,
formed by the ingenious cut and not
by the aid of stitching or folds in the
cloth. This cloak was launched at the
end of the Paris season at a well-known
dinner party given in the Bots, and it's
success was so great surprise in the
white cloth that it is no surprising
matter that it is to be repeated in
darker colorings.
Long, military-looking overcoats Of

mixtures are shown by the tailors
among their autumn novelties. The

fashionable, as these coats are pure

If they are worn at Westbury and at

lands, and they come in very handy for
automobiling.
A. rather snowy and distinctly big
check consisting of an introduction of,
green, brown or blue on rough
ground splashed with white, or on
one of heather mixture, seems most
popular of all. Big, smooth, round
silver or gold military buttons are adj
vancing steadily into favor. AS to the
collar it may be anything, always pro-
vided it is in a genre militaire, which is
a sine qua non. Some of them are of the
"stand-up" persuasion, lined with vel
vet of harmonious or contrasting
shade, and others are rolled over in
neglige fashion. One of the sInartest
things shown latelywas an all-envelop-
ing rough black and white check coat
fastened sharply across to one side and
carrying out the idea of the double
breasted Prussian military coat to per-
lection. There was a turnover collar,
with, of course, no revers; in coats of
this kind of revers seem to be just a lit
tie out of fashion, very possibly for
the reason that when automo biling

securely to the throat is far better cal
culated to achieve this object than one
which opens out. Dark blue serge is
also employed for these coats; a
touch of scarlet or red with silver or
gilt buttons are happy additions, and
just now plain white tweed coats are
considered very smart indeed by the
riding and driving women. The collar
and the shoulder cape of the new
gowns are their most conspicuous fea-
ture

selves so or not. And the venerable
Lyman Abbott, conspicuous figure
in the ecclesiastical world, has just
said to the students in Yale: Il be-
lieve the movement toward socialism
in this country to be irresistible, and
| believe, too, that it ought not to be
resisted"
What has caused this sudden up
heaval of socialism to the dignity of
an issue? In a general way the
trusts, shameless stock gambling in
Wall street, callous display of vast
wealth, the spread of luxury which
amazes plain people at every hand
all these things; but more than all of
them put together, just here and
now. is the situation growing out of
the coal strike.
At the beginning of winter, which
may be very severe, New York is
practically without coal. Men whose
families contain sick and suffering
people are unable to get it and ill
ness is certainly increased by the
chill of unheated houses. Of this
there can be no doubt. Personally 1
have managed thus far by burning
the less valuable books in my library
in an open CRATE when wood could
not be had, and by burning twice
over the cinders sifted from range
coal ashes to get along in fair com
fort and keep my temper. But there
is no illness in the house.
Never in 20 years have I heard so
much incendiary language in New
York as since the coal shortage be-
came something more than joke.
If the election had been delayed
month, the government ownership"
coal plank in the democratic plat
form in New York would have car
ried the state overwhelmingly for
that party.

the history of the state of Ohio, the
first of the five states to enter state

centennial anniversary of the assem-

the first constitution of the state of
Ohio. Advantage was taken of the
occasion to place tablet to mark the
site of the building in which the con-
stitutional convention assembled, and
which was also the capital of the
northwest territory as well as of the
state of Ohio, until the seat of govern
ment was removed to Columbus.

The ball is a gigantic affair, many
hundred times larger than the inter
collegiate pigskin, and the manufac-
ture of the sphere requires much
time and an infinite amount OF care

and 1G feet six inches the Other-re-

''horse tennis" etc, are played by
men who feel that golf, lawn tennis,
baseball and handball, and even foot
ball, are too strenuous for their ply

ball-it is called game now by the
best authorities, because the British
have really taken it up-has many of
the features of football except, of
course, there is no Brobdingnagian
Herschberger or Hudson to kick goals
punts of 70 yards. Teams of eight on
a side play the game, and the object,
in brief, is to advance the sphere
across the opposing teams goal line.
If touchdown is made by pushing
this huge sphere across the goal line,
the side scoring the touchdown
counts two points. If the ball is
showed across between the goal posts
which are situated not unlike those
of a gridiron-the score is three
points.

against the ball, each showing for all
it is worth the contest becomes mo-

letic meets years ago when Ireland

sometimes the "anchorman" would
cry out with pain that his back might
be saved from a fracture.

Terrible Result of Boiler LOST on
In Swift's Packing Plant
at Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. IA boiler explosion
in the plant of the Swift Packing
company at the stock yards caused
10 deaths, 20 more being injured.
Buildings were destroyed and a shock
like that of an earthquake was felt.
Nearly all of the victims at the
stock yards were colored. The work
of rescuing the victims from the ruins
was commenced as soon as the fire
department arrived.
Ambulances were called into action
from every available quarter to re-
move the injured, who numbered
more than 20. They were taken to
the Provident hospital.
Opinions 3z nearly all the experts
who made superficial inspections
agree that the accident was due to
the absence of water in the explod-
ing boiler. The position occupied by
the remnants of the boiler which
is believed to have caused the catas-
trophe is taken to indicate that the
water tender had shut off the wa
ter supply and had left the boiler
