leading printing firm of this city, and
Miss Rose Lynch, his bookkeeper, be-

got off and looked for a minister. A
young man told Mr.. Balch where a.
preacher could be found. The fiance
hurried to house two blocks from
the railroad station, where a Baptist
minister was found. The parson was
shaving himself. Mr.. Balchs entreat-
les induced the minister to stop the
operation.
With one cheek shaved and the other
unsharn the clergyman, Mr.. Balch, and
picked-up witness. rushed back to the
railroad station just as the express
rolled in. A stateroom was engaged.
and between Remsen and Forestport
the ceremony was performed. The
minister got off at a flag station, and
the newly welded couple went on to

moon. A dispatch was sent to Miss

DAKOTANS PLAN A
Big CONVENTION
Irrigation Meeting Attracts
Great Attention in the
North State.

FARGO, n. D., Sept. 27.-North Da-
kotans are aroused over the possibili-
ties of irrigation in the semi-arid re-
gion in the western part Of the state,
and great interest is being taken in the
state convention called to meet in Bis
marck Oct. 20-21. The possibilities of
the work was shown the North Dakota
delegates who attended the national
convention at Ogden recently, and they
came home enthused with the work.
President J. J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, has promised to attend and
make an address. The railroad inter-
ests will do everything possible to pro-
mote the meeting. The people Of the
state and the railroads are united in
the work, as it will develop the western
part of the state to the advantage of
both.
The topography of the dry belt of the
state is such that an irrigation plan can
be carried along without a great ex-
penditure. The streams and couleeS
can be damned sufficiently to hold the
annual rainfall. and a system of bitches
can be used that will serve the purpose
as well as a more elaborate plan. There
is $4,000 600 in the United States treas
ury for the state. and if North Dako-
tans do not use 1t the funds will be di-
verted to the states where greater ac-
tivity is being shown, and this state
will be compelled to wait for some
years o-secure the advantage of an ir-

Philippine Commerce Reports
Show Increase in Trade.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. 81
The returns of Philippine commerce for
May, 1903, about to be published by
the bureau of insular affairs of the
war department, show the foreign
trade of the islands aggregated for the
month $6,872,9S2, exclusive of govern
ment supplies and gold and silver, be-
ing even, greater than that reported for
April of the present year, the value
OF which exceeded that for any single
month since American occupation
Importations amounted to $3,391,655,
being considerably in excess of the
monthly average as result of heavy
purchases of food stuffs. rice reports
alone approximating nearly a million
and three quarter dollars worth. The
outgoing trade for the month of May
included shipments of Philippine prod
ucts to the value of $3481,3 For
eleven months ended May 81, 1903 the
total trade amounted to $60,576,245
While for the corresponding period of
1902 the value was $50,824.090.
The gain indicated by the foregoing
figures is due to the extraordinary in
crease in exports, especially of hemp,
which shows a trade of $19,606,211 in
the eleven months ended May 81, 1903,
as against $14,513,875 in the same Pc
riod of 1902. Copra shipments also are
on the increase and the expectation of
this product now ranges second in i'm
portance followed-by sugar and tobacco.
A material decrease is shown in the
cigar trade as compared with record
figures for the previous year. Customs
revenues to the value Of eight and
half millions Were. collected during the
eleven months of 1903, an increase
amounting to over million dollars as

CRUEL HOAX DRIVES
BRIDE TO DEATH
Told Her Husband Is Rieamist
Young Woman Kills Herself.

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 27.-Mrs. o.
Mott committed suicide at her home
here as the result of a cruel practical
joke played on her by former friends.
Mrs. Mott was only eighteen years
old, and had been married but a short
time. She and her husband had lived
very happily until the last few days.
when some mischievous neighbors sIyly
fntimated that her husband had an
other wife living.
She did not speak of the matter to
her husband, but become moody and
pensive. To her husbands anxious
questions she made evasive answers.
In the meantime her friends, noting
the effect of their insinuations and
not counting the result, continued their
persecution. Last night she was found
dead in her room, with an empty vial
OF carbolic acid lying near by. When
her tormentors learned of her death
they were stricken with remorse. and
said they had only intended to tease
her by telling her the stories.
