The pasteboard which three inches thick ra
sisted completely the bullets fired from the small

TO have given very interesting results. Bullets
from the carbnes used are able 20 penetrate wooden

penetrate the pasteboard, which was only three

Chicago has reason to exult over New-York.
because in present conditions her death rate, as
officially reported. is somewhat less than ours.
Health officials in this city say that the vitality
of many infants in Chicago may be to some
extent better than that of children in the
crowded tenement quarters Of Manhattan. One
cause assigned for the superior Western chances
Of survival is based on the fact that the milk
supply of Cook County IS, in the main, drawn
from farms within a comparatively short dis
lance OF the lake 'front.' while much OF the
milk used in certain districts OF this town Is
brought long way and lacks freshness.

BRAVE PARENTS
IRE AND MARRY
May Hamilton of San Jose
and George w. Smith of
Newman Welded Secretly
SURPRISE FOR FRIENDS
Run Away to San Rafael in
December, Where They
Quietly Plight Their Troth

The old story that love laughs at
locksmiths" is verified by the mar
riage of Miss May Hamilton of San
Jose and George w. Smith of Newman.
They loved dearly and young, but the
edicts of stern parents kept them
apart.
On December IS last, they hied them
selves over to San Rafael and there
plighted marriage VOWS that made
them husband and wife. The blushing
bride went back to San Jose, and the
youthful groom returned TO Newman.
The relatives of both parties were in
entire ignorance of the affair until
yesterday when the happy couple met
in town and happened to run across
some friends when they were forced to
let the secret out.
From what can be learned il appears
that the parents of the young woman
objected to the man she had chosen.
Her father, A b. Hamilton, who is
prominent merchant of the Garden
City, is reported to have been greatly
averse to his daughters marrying. For
what reasons he has never stated. He
Simply SdlQ. Qlu not want MAY TO
marry" Yesterday the bride took her
sister, Mrs. J. Hendy, into her con-
fidence and begged her to help her
face the stern parent. Together the
two sisters have gone to San Jose and
there, this morning, on bended knees,
May will beg his forgiveness and ask
him TO grant his blessing and wish her
long life and happiness. What he will
do is largely matter of conjecture. 1t
is reported that he is of a stormy tenn
perament and his friends say he was
dead set against the marriage. The
bride is one of San Jose's fairest
daughters. She is clever, brilliant and
popular. The announcement of the
wedding will cause a great sensation
in San Jose The groom is equally
popular and is highly esteemed in the
district in which he lives.
How they managed to keep the affair
a secret for such length of time is a
mystery to all concerned.
