Queer Wedding Customs.

The giving of weuulng presents is
an old custom, differing widely in
different countries. In Scotland PEN
ny weddings were an old-time GUS
tom. They were called penny we'd
dings, but the invited guests contrib
uted shillings and sometimes half
crowns, and out of these contribu-
lions the wedding expenses were
paid.
In Germany there is a pay wed.
ding" The bride receives the guests
with a basin set before her, and in
this the guests deposit jewels, silver
or coins.
In some parts of Germany the we'd
ding expenses are betrayed by the
guests paying for what they eat and
drink.
The prices paid for refreshments
are high and sometimes the thrifty
young couple make enough out of the
wedding to start them nicely in life.

GORMAN is CHOSEN. .

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 8.-Arthur Pue
German and Chairman Murray Van
Diver of the democratic state central
committee, were selected as the
democratic nominees for United
States senator and state treasurer,
respectively, at the democratic eau
Gus held tonight.
Senator Germans selection was
unanimous and enthusiastic.
Three members, Linthicum AMI
Shepherd of Dorchester, and Shipley
of Annerundle county, declined 20
vote for Van Diver. Isaac Loeb
Strauss of Baltimore City refused to
enter the caucus.
There were 81 members present,
and as 81 are sufficient to elect on
joint ballot, the question of the next
United States senator and state treas,
urer is regarded as settled. No other
names were mentioned in the caucus.
The republicans held their caucus
this afternoon and nominated Con
gresham William H. Jackson of Wi
comoco county for senator, and Gen.
Thomas II. Shryock of Baltimore City
for state treasurer.

ALARMED.
save him.

Mr.. Roosevelt has evidently taken
alarm at the outburst of public indig-
nation over the verdict in the Schley
case, and the matter is not to be
dropped in the summary manner as
given out by the administration Off
Gals short time ago.
The president has given Admiral
Schley permission to appeal from the
verdict reached by majority of the
court and approved by Secretary
Long. The case will now go to the
president himself for review, and in
its solution he is indeed between the
devil and the deep sea; for if he sus
tains the ring that has condemned
Schley he will find himself subject
of public execratiom, while if he ex
onerates Schley, Secretary Long viii
resign and all the powers of the arm!
and navy clique will be turned
against the president. 1t is be HOPED
that he will do the right thing anC
that Admiral Schley's name will bC
as clear upon the records of the gov
eminent as it is in the minds ant
hearts of the American people.

COMPETITION.

Those who declare that competition
is of no benefit to the public at large
and that conditions will be improved
by railroad consolidation, are invited
to study the practical results that
have followed the elimination of COM
petition in the milling business IN
Flathead county.
One year ago the farmers of this
county were receiving 76 cents per
bushel for wheat, while flour was sell
ing for 1920 per hundred. Since
that time the mills of Kalispell have
been consolidated under the owner
ship of the Royal Milling company,
and although wheat is worth 8 cents
per bushel more in the east than it
was year ago, the price now paid
for wheat in Kalispell is about 50
cents per bushel, a decline of "a cents
per bushel from last season price
The price of flour has advanced to
$2.4O per hundred weight. 1t is prob
able that there was some profit for
the mills at the prices of last year,
but granting that the business was
done without any profit whatever at
present prices the Royal Milling COM
pany is making a profit of 80 cents
on every bushel of wheat, and 20
cents per hundred ON all of the flour
sold in the valley.
The result will be an injury to
every business man and property
owner in the county, for the prosper
ity of the county depends upon the
farmers, and when they are working
without profit everybody in the
county must suffer.

and it says that, according to the
rules, a reprimand cannot be admin
istered except upon the verdict of a
court-martial, and that the humblest
private in the service is protected
from such public humiliation as was
put upon General Miles without trial
by court-martial. 1t would now be
in order for the president to order a
court-martial to try Secretary Root
for violating the rule; but as the re.
buke to General Miles was admins
tered by order of the president, sucn
action is not apt to be taken.

WANTS TO SELL ISLAND
A Novel Plan Pursued by New
Yorker,

Washington, Jan. 9.-Secretary
Long has asked congress to appro-
pirate $325,000 for the purchase of
in the Hudson river This request
was made in accordance with the
recommendation submitted by Rear
Admiral O'Neill, chief of ordnance.
Rear Admiral O'Neill is anxious to
get the island for naval purposes, but
the main reason is that the blasting
which has been going on on Round
island was dangerous to the maya
zines on Iona island.
In connection with the. sale of this
island to the government and the fix
ing of the price, it is interesting to
know how a man can literally blast
himself into a fortune and practically
compel the government to give him
his own price for the island, which
the navy department officials do not
believe is worth more than one-tenth
of the sum of 1926, 900, which is to be
paid for it.
The island is owned by D. B. Dona-
vim of Highland Falls, N. Y, and his
shrcwd way of taking advantage of
the situation when the magazines
| were established on Iona island COM
mands the admiration of the officials
of the navy department, even if they
do believe they are paying more for
Round island than it is actually
worth.
Several years ago the navy de-
partment purchased Iona island, i'll
the Hudson river, not far from West
Point, and recently completed an
elaborate and costly naval magazine.
A considerable quantity of heavy ex-
plosive was placed there, and all went
we'll until Mr.. Donavin discovered
that there was an exceptionally fine
grade of granite on Round island,
which is Immediately adjoining Iona
and only 500 feet from the naval
magazine.
He Immediately began to quarry
the stone. Huge charges of dynamite
were daily exploded, and the detona-
tions began to cause uneasiness
among the naval officers in charge of
the magazine. Propositions were at
once made to Mr.. Donavin for the ac-
QUESTION Of the property, and when
asked to name his price he calmly
proposed $325,000.
Secretary Long considered this sum
excessive and negotiations were
dropped. Mr. Donavin, however, was
not idle and aware that he had the
navy department at his mercy he
he blasted more vigorously than ever,
and if the quarrying went closer and
closer to the magazine it was none of
his concern.
Life for the navy men in charge of
the magazines had now almost ceased
to be endurable, and their appeals to
Secretary Long became more and
more impressive. Finally the secre-
tary had to give in and he has within
the last few days transmitted to the
house of representatives an estimate
of 1926, 900 for the purchase of Round
island.
AS the island in question is only a
barren waste, about a mile square,
without a redeeming feature except
it's granite, the lawmakers may in
cline to Secretary Longs original
opinion and refuse to be held up by
such novel means.

deposited in the claims To carry
these proceedings to a supposed con-
clusion, Noyes, Mckenzie and others
found it a necessary part of their
scheme to resort to the process of
this court. In pursuance of this con-
spiracy the contempt charged against
Noyes was committed, but l agree
with Judge Gilbert that this conspir-
acy is outside the charge of contempt,
and in view of the fact that the re-
spondent Noyes holds a judicial posi-
ton, l concur in this judgment that
the respondent be required to pay a
fine of $1,000"
Judge Gilbert and Judge Morrow
were of the same opinion in all re-
spects.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SATURDAY, JANUARY II, 1902.
THE MOVES VERDICT.

The verdict finding Judge Noyes of
Alaska, together with the district at
torney and his assistant guilty OF
contempt will be hailed with satisfac-
ton by every citizen who believes in
honest government and clean courts
The vigorous action of the United
States court of appeals in Furnishing
the Nome conspirators has done more
to establish the supremacy of the
law and maintain the high standing
of the courts than anything that has
transpired in the last decade.
Judge Noyes and officers of his
court conspired with Alexander Nc
Kenzie to use the machinery of the
law as a means of robbing the miners
of Cape Nome, and the method of OPP
Grafton was very simple. Parties
were employed to jump all of the
richest claims in the camp, and upon
application of the jumpers Judge
Moves appointed Mckenzie as re-
ceiver to work the claims. If the
owners of the claims made any objec-
ton, soldiers were at once sent to
dispossess them. In this way mill
ing was practically stopped for
time in Nome, except what was be-
;oo 1ooo b1y MoKao1io FOR tho man
who had a rich claim dared not work
it lest it be jumped and taken away
from him. 1t is remarkable fact
that Noyes, Mckenzie and other con-
spirators were not lynched by the in
dignant miners but, much to the
credit of the miners. they chose to
appeal to the United States court of
appeals, and they have been rewarded
for the forbearance and good sense
shown.
Mckenzie was sentenced to a year
in Jail and after serving several
months, was released through the
clemency of President Mckinley.
Judge Dubose was compelled to serve
his time, and District Attorney Joe
Wood and his assistant have just
been sentenced to terms in jail
On account of his official position,
Judge Noyes is let off with fine of
$1,000, but the court expressly states
that the punishment is for the con-
tempt committed in using the process
of the court for an illegal purpose
and does not go to the crimes COM
mitted through the conspiracy, prose
cutions for which will no doubt be
instituted at once.
Noyes should be removed from
office and given a long term in stripes,
but it is doubtful if this can be done,
as the ring which secured his ap-
pointment may have sufficient pull to
save him.

A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Chicago Professor Discovers Pro-
cess to Prolonq Life.

SCSS "
Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. S.-Experiments
which, it is declared, are beginning
of the unravelin of deaths mysteries
were made public by Prof. Jacques
Loeb at the fourteenth annual meet
ing of the American Physiological So
ciety at the University of Chicago.
During the last summer the noted
specialist has been continuing his ex-
periments with the eggs of the lower
marine animals, especially those of
the sea urchin, and in paper en-
titled "On the Prolongation of Life
of Unfertilized Eggs of the Sea Ur-
chin by Potassium Cyanide" he told
a group of the foremost psychologists
in America that by means of observa-
ton of the effects of certain chemi-
Gals upon these minute bits of proto-
plasm he was ready to make tenta-
tive definition of the heretofore un-
known nature of death.
Death, Prof. Loeb affirmed, was not
negative process, a simple breaking
down of tissues, as it has been re-
garded up to this time, but an active
agent born with the birth of the egg
destined, if not checked, to gain the
upper hand of the life instinct and
bring about extinction.
But greater even than the appar.
ent discovery of this death agent in
all life substance is Prof Loeb's dec.
| laration that he has been able to
check it in the eggs of the sea ur.
chin, at least, by means of chemical
! agents. This, it is held, means moth
