To CIRCULATION
New Provision Of the Aldrich Finan-
cial Bill Will Accomplish
This Result.
National Banks Will Base Their
Issue on the Market Value
Of U. S. Bonds.
New York Sun Special Service.

I q /
Washington, May 23.-The main fea-
lures OF the new bill which Senator Aid
rich will introduce next session for the
reform of the currency as a result Of the
conferences Of the senate subcommittee
on finances, will be a provision that sur
plus customs receipts may be deposited
in national banks: and one that banks
be allowed to issue circulation to the full
market value Of the government bonds
they have on deposit at the treasury.
If this last feature were now authorized
the increased circulation on the bonds
now held by the treasury for the banks
based on the current market quotations
would amount to about $4,000. 900. which
in itself would be a great help In pre-
venting financial stringency.
The principal feature Of the old Aldrich
bill was the granting Of authority to de.
post the surplus customs receipts as vel
as those from internal revenue in the
banks. Under the present law the Gus.
toms receipts must be paid out again tc
meet current expenses. It Is this con.
slant accumulation Of money in the
treasury that has been held mainly re.
sponsible for the periodical stringencies
in the money market which it is the
purpose Of the Aldrich bill to prevent.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 2s-Following
the recent marriage of a brother and
sister" in the persons Of Mrs. Ralph l..
Wilson and William H. Bradford Of New
York city, after having procured South
Dakota divorces, the members Of the d.
vorce colony in this city have had an
other somewhat similar sensation growing
out Of the wedding Of an "aunt'' and
nephew"
r The principals in the latest marriage

Following the securing Of the divorce,
Mrs. De Whit and Henry P. Keith, an
attorney with offices In New York city.
and Hampstead, l. l., were married in this
city. Her new husband has been in
Sioux Falls during her residence here.
At first she stated he was the son of a
very dear friend and had been brought to
South Dakota for the benefit Of his health.
More recently he has been referred to as
the nephew Of the woman to whom he
has now been married, and who is fifteen
or twenty years older than Keith.
Her Second Suit.
The granting of the divorce to the wom-
an who Is now Mrs. Keith is the culmina-
ton OF a, similar suit instituted by her in
1901 before Judge Marean Of the supreme
court Of Brooklyn. Judge Marean, after
hearing the testimony on June 49, 1901,
decided that the plaintiff had failed to
| make out case.
| The feature of the trial was testimony
| to the effect that De Whit was seen to
| kiss one Of the correspondents on the
neck, Judge Marean deciding that as this
was done In the presence Of Others. IT
! was simply an imprudence and did not
indicate guilt on the part Of the defend
