Naturally. Miss Barton has been at a

"A Mussulman Is forbidden to sell q cop0

Reasons for Marriage.

From the London Chronicle.
An editor sent out circular letters to a
large number OF married men, and asked
them why they married. Here are some Of
the answers:
didn't intend to do 1t.
Because I did not have the experiences
have now.
That's what I've been trying for eleven
years to find out
I thought 1t would be cheaper than a
breach of promise suit
That's the same fool question my friends
ask me-
wanted companion of the opposite
SEX N. B.-She is still opposite.
I was lonely and melancholy. and wanted
some one to make me lively, She makes me
very lively.

that 1t Is In the power OF the President to

will hesitate to do so after having heard all

ROSTAND IS
AN ACADEMICIAN

PARIS, June 4.-Rostand is the hero
of the day. For the first time in the
history of the French Academy the in
auguration of the new young acade-
mician put in the background all other
more practical interests of the hour.
The Pont des Arts was crowded with
patient concourse this morning waiting
to see the young dramatist pass be-
meath the cupola Where he was receiv-
ed as member of the browning glory
of the French literateur's life. Ros-
lands speech was a prose effort of the
most florid description in the form of
eulogy on his predecessor Vicomte
Henri de Bornier. Vicomte Melchoir
de Vogues reply to Rostand was some
what bitter in tone, indulging in sar-
caSm on account of the poets early
success and the fact that he has met
with no obstacle in his progress since
his birth.
AS much as 5000 was offered for a
single seat at the ceremony this morn
ing, but was refused Ten thousand
applications We're received, but only
1900 people can be packed into the small
but famous building on the bank of the
Seine. The audience included the most
illustrious citizens from different walks
of life in Paris and other cities, as
well as a sprinkling of favored MEM
bers of the various diplomatic corps.
Mime. Rostand, who is tremendously
proud of the glory bestowed on her
young husband, exhausted the resour-
ces of the Rule de la Paix for her new
gown.
Edmond Rostand made one of the
great hits in Partisan dramatic history
with his rhymed play of "CXrano de
Bergerac," which was first produced
in 1898, when the author was only 30
years old. Coquelin created the title
role and the author received a fortune
in royalties

CITY OF MEXICO, June 22.-Presi-
dent Diaz was renominated today.
With the exception of period of
four years General Portirio Diaz has
been president of Mexico since 1876. He
is now SeVenty-two years of age and
his whole life has been spent in very
active work in the interests of his coun-
try. A student at the time of the Mex
lean war he enlisted and fought against
the United States. He after affiliated
with the liberal p rty in it's struggles
against the conservatives. He was a
potent factor in the overthrow of Santa
Anna. He was conspicuous in the war
of reform and was ever at the point of
danger, as the wounds he received in
battle testify. He opposed the French
invasion, and was in command of the
Mexican army that on May .. 1862, cap
tured Puebla after a siege of nearly a
month. Later, at the same place he
was taken prisoner, but was successful
In making an escape. Again he fought
the French and was again captured but
escaped and Immediately raised new
FORCES to continue the struggle. In 1861
he captured Mexico City, which ended
the war and also French rule in Amer
lea On the death of President Juarez
he was chosen President. He held the
office until 1880. when he surrendered
it to General Gonzales. In 1884 Diaz
was again elected President and has
been reelected since as often as his
term has expired. The nomination of
Diaz means that Gen. Reyes and Jose
Llmantour will have to wait a few
years longer before they can contest for
the presidency and both have been
candidates against Diaz this time.

The incredibility not to say the prac-
tical impossibility of this, is apparent
1T probably has relation to something
in connection with the Pearl Harbor
station. Captain U. S. G. White. Com
mandant of the Naval Station here,
says: This must refer to the SUIT
pending between the Government and
the Honolulu Plantation Company. For
some time past the Government has
held the fee of SCI acres of land at Ha-
lava, and suit was brought against the
plantation people to obtain the lease
hold. The dispatch evidently indicates
that the question has either been set
tied in the courts. or else Admiral
Bradford has effected a compromise
with the plantation in which the Gov
eminent has obtained control of the
much Eeeded land"
