EDNA'S SILVER SLIPPER
Causes ). b. ElkIns Jr., to Tremble on
the Verge Of Giving up his Golden
SnaAn.


About year ago, it will be recalled,
a stir was created by Stephen b. FL
kins, Jr., son of the senior West Vir-
ginia senator, pressing his suit for the
hand of Edna Wallace Hopper, the
beautiful California actress. 1t was
supposed that Senator Elkins, who is
sternly opposed to the proposed alli-
ance, had induced his son to give up
his pursuit of Miss Hopper, but the
following special dispatch from San
Francisco paper would indicate that
Cupid has the young man IN his tolls.
San Francisco, July 2S.-Stephen
Elkins Jr., son of the United States
senator and multi millionaire, is again
in San Francisco to press his suit for
the hand of Edna Wallace Hopper,
the young California actress who is
battling in the courts of British Co
lumbia for share Of the millions left
by the late Alexander Dunsmuir
He had been here for the past five
days, frequenter of the Palace hotel
and other places of social resort, and
yet his presence did not become gen.
orally known until yesterday That
young Elkins is determined to- wed
Miss Hopper and that she Is willing to
accept the name and companionship
he offers no one who has enjoyed the
company of the young couple will gain
say. In fact it is understood on am
pie authority that their betrothal is
certain to follow the first assurance
that the younger Elkins receives from
his father of parental conformation fol
his matrimonial step.
That he will receive this assurance
is only a matter of hope and specula-
tion with the young lovers, for already
the elder Elkins has sternly empha
sized his objections to the matrimon
iaI alliance, and even now is ignoran'
ofhis sons presence in San Francisco.

The smell Of the ragweed is in the
air, striking terror to hearts of hay
feyerites, for it presages the coming
of two months or more of sneezine
and general discomfort There are
quite number of local people who
are afflicted each year with period
of this exasperating malady, and
when they begin to smell ragweed
they realize that their hour of
trouble is near at baud.
Nearly all the local hay feyerites
have certain day on which the
malady makes its appearance every
year. One mans always comes on
the 18th of August. With others it
comes earlier and with some it comes
still later. But to one and all it
comes, and it stays with them until
the first frost puts in an appearance
on the pumpkins.
Hay feverites who have enough
money will take trips to the lakes
or to some other more congenial
climes where they secure temporary
relief. Those who havn't any vaca
ton money will stay at home ant

Booths Greek to the opening of the

mines has been Unexpectedly delay
ed for while. 1t is said that it
it win be built however 10 time, and
a big coke plant installed.
The Clinton Coke Company owns
1000 acres of fine Freeport coal lying
between Booths Greek and Cobun's
Creek. A few weeks ago Mr. Duncan
of Washington Pa, representing this
company was here and had survey
made for a branch railroad leading
from Ellington up Booths Creek
about four miles. At the terminus
of this road, mines are to be opened
and about 300 modern coke ovens
built.
When the railraad surveys we're
completed and estimate made of
the cost of building the branch it
was found that about $4,000 per
mile would have TO be expended to
make first class road. The great
cost of the enterprise was surprise
to the promoters, and has caused
them to take a little time to get
their bearings again.
The company is increasing the
capital to million dollars, and will
