LOVE AT NINETY NOT INSANITY
So Rules Judge Maren of the New York
Supreme Court.

New York.-Love at 80 is not in
sanity in law, according to Judge
Maren of the supreme court, who
a dismissed the suit OF Mortimer
s. Brown, for the annul!ment of the
marriage of his father. After hear
ing all the testimony the judge said
there was nothing the matter with
the wealthy banker, who died a
few weeks after his marriage, ex-
cept that he wanted to get mar
ried, and it would be a dangerous
dotcrine tc decide that that was IN
sanity, the court said. The old
mans children attempted to have
his will set aside because he left all
to the woman of 80, whom, accord
ing to an oddly written diary intro
duced US evidence. he described as
IAN angel sent from God" The
diary told Of many attempts OF the
nonogenarian to find a vile and
told of repeated failures until the

New York.-Judge LaCombe, In
the United States circuit court, has
handed down an opinion in the ap.
peal taken by the interstate com

carrying roads, to compel the wit.
nesses to produce certain contracts
and answer certain questions in the
W. r. Hearst proceedings. The con
tracts were refused by the witnesses
on TIE advice OF counsel. In the
opinion Judge LaCombe sustains
the position OF the railroad compa-
MES In every particular, except In
n instance. President T~ruesoale,
of the Lackawanna and Western, is
directed &c answer certain ques-
items regarding the details OF gen.
eral expense. Judge LaConbe holds
as the reason for this that .docu-
ments regarding the items OF ex-

Mexican Currency Matter.


New York.-A special from Mex
leo City says that the new decline
lin silver en- phasizes the need of es-
tabllizing the currency of this coun-
try. Merchants had come to regard
the better level of prices as likely
to be permanent and had made cal
culations accordingly. The rising
COLO premium is a dlsillusionment
and there is strong feeling in be-
half of a better peso with the value
made fixed in relation to gold The
news from China that there is an
influential party there in favor of a
gold standard is considered serious
for, if China should adopt gold, sill
YER would. it is believed here, ex-
perience a tremendous slump in

INCREASING TRADE
WITH PORTO RICO.
Statement of Trade Between the
United States and That Country
AVERAGES A MILLION A MONTH
Startling Figures Which Array Them
selves In Striking Contrast TO the
Statistics of the Past..--Porto Rican
Trade With This Country Also Thrives.

Washington. Porto Rico is fur
nishing a market of a million dol
lars a mouth to the producers and
merchants OF the United States and
supplying nearly a million dollars
worth each month OF tropical pro-
ducts required by the United
States. The total shipments of do.
mestic merchandise from the United
States to Porto Rico in ten months
ending with April were 50, S44,3 19,
and of foreign merchandise $219,-
276, making tie total value of mer-
chandise sent to Porto Rico from
the United States $40, 062, 594. The
total shipments of domestic mer-
cnandise from Porto Rico to the
United States in the ten months
ending with April, 1908, was
SO, 744, 427, and of for eign merchan-
disc $780, OBJ, making the total ship
ments from that island to the
United States in the ten months
ending with April SO, 1873 464. In
the month of April the shipments
from the United States to Porto
Rico were 1851, 526. and from Porto
Rico to the United States $1,919,-
O23. These figures indicate that
the shipments from the United
States to Porto Rico during the
fiscal year which ends with tbs
present month will aggregate about
sl2, 000, 600, and iron. Port o Rico to
the United States nearly an equal
SUM-.
These figures of commerce be-
tween Porto Rico ard the United
States are in marked contrast with
those OF earlier years. In the fiscal
year 1898, which Immediately pre-
ceded the transfer OF Porto Rico to
the United States, the exports from
the United States to that island
were 81, sos. 946. In the next year
they were 81, 1855, 94S; in 1900,
"a, $40, d49; in 1901, Sc 1865, 408; in
1902. s10.268, 653, and, as already
indicated in the year 1903, will be
ab out $12, 000, 200. Thus the total
shipments from the United States to
Porto Rico for 1903 will be eight
times as great as those 1898, and six
times as great as those of 1897. On
the otter hand, shipments from
Porto Rico to the United States
have grown from s. ,414, 356 in 1893
to s8.378, 766 in 1902, aud probably
nearly or quite ST.. 000, 600 in 1903,
or about five times as much in 1903
as in 1893.

Ei Reno, Okla, Dec. 15.-It is pre-
dicted here that Mr.. McGuire's state

before Il passes both houses Of CON
gress, because there are more "hcks"
on some Of the sections than have
been made in public. The section con-
cernlng the disposition of the school
lands does not suit all Of the Oklahoma
Republicans. despite the efforts of
some who are trying to make it aD.
pear that the section is satisfactory to
them.

cry, and It is feared that Unless the
section in question is revised, what
promises to make school fund that

purchase the land. if it is ever sold,

Because the men who lease the
land have improved it" said one Of
the leading Republicans of the terri
tory. "is no sign or reason why they
should be allowed to take that which
rightly belongs to the school system
These men knew full well that they
were improving that which did not be-
long to them, and did so at their own
risk
81 know of leading Republicans in
the territory who have written to Mr..
Mcclure, asking him to change the
section concerning the disposition OF
the school land question. They are
not discussing the question in public,
because they know that it win do no
good. They are friends of Delegate
McGEire, and want to help him to
bring about bill that win do the most
good for Oklahoma.
1T is said in an interview with our
representative that the section in ques-
tion is an exact copy Of a section in
the Flynn bill, which is probably true,
hui that does not make it good Mr..
Flynn drafted his bill several years
ago, and since then. conditions have
changed, and the section must be
changed to fit the times"
In the interim, those who hold leases
on school lands have organized and are
getting ready to contend for their in
terests. II is predicted and threatened
that unless they are favored, they will
turn the tide of affairs in Oklahoma
