FREDERICK
OF GERMANY
BETHROTHED
Engagement Of Crown Prince to
Duchess Cecilia Of Neck.
lenburg.Schwerin
Given Out.
Strong Dynastic Reasons Are Sup.
posed TO Be Responsible
for the Match.

Berlin. Sept. 5.-The Duchess Cecelis
OF Mecklenburg- -Sehwerin, whose be-
trothal to Crown Prince Frederick
William OF Germany was announced
last night, IL n tall slight girl. light
haired and brown-eyed. Although she
could scarcely be called pretty, she has
n vivid complexion and Is OF spritely
demeanor.
The only time the duchess and the
crown prince have been seen together
In public was few evenings ago. The
crown prince had called on her and ner
mother at the KaIserhof hotel just be-
fore they left for home. After talking
with them for an hour the crown
prince took them to the station In an
automobile and found that the train
did not start for an hour. He then
asked them to drive round the city,
and with them went through the prln-
cipal streets, which started the first
talk OF an engagement.
II Is impossible to say whether II Is
a love match or not. Strong dynastic
reasons for the marriage exist, Only
once during the last century. In the
case of Frederick Ill. has Prussian
king taken a wife except from Ger
man princely house. The emperor de-
sires to bring the Cumberland, Danish
and Netherlands courts into closer re-

kuropAtkin's Army Pushing North in
Direction Of Mukden.

st. Petersburg. Sept. GA summary
of the war situation to date shows that
the whole of the Russian army or at
least the main portion Of It, is already
above Yentai station and pushing to-
ward Mukden,
oyama's entire army has crossed the
Taitze river and part Of It is hanging
on Kuropatklns flank.
A strong fianklng column on the east
Is pushing rapidly north In an effort
TO head off the Russians, Against this
column Kuropatkin has sent out a
strong cavalry division to the north
east, which, II Is believed, already is

ilankers, while to the westward Kuro-
patkin is moving a division toward
Slngmintin. 30 miles west of Mukden
to meet any interference that may be
attempted from the direction of Yin
kow or New chwang,
Oyama's advance is reported to be
engaging the Russian rear, but the at
tack is expected to not develop any
thing more serious than series of rear
guard actions tending to harass Kuro-
patlxin's retreat.
The japanese have thrown a strong
hanking column across the Taitze river
at Benitzu, about 30 miles northeast

Chicago, Sept 5.--The Tribune to.
day says
As the result of conference Just
held between representatives Of the
unions involved in the packing house
strike and of the owners of the plants
the end Of the long labor struggle is
set for the middle Of this week.
An understanding was arrived at by
which the men will meet today or to-
morrow and vote on the question OF
calling off the strike According to the
plans made, they will be instructed to
cast their ballots in the affirmative.
These plans were made with secrecy
and care. They originated a week ago
In Chicago with certain of the packers
and Of the conservative labor leaders.
Fearing the execution Of the scheme
would fail if attempted in Chicago, it
was determined to make the first move
in New York.
The ending of the strike in the east
ern city by the vote of the men on
Saturday was this first step. The set
tlement there made was the same as
that now proposed for Chicago.
The following are the chief points of

The united Russian forces are now

With this race In progress, there
comes brief dispatch from Mukden
saying preparations for evacuation are
proceeding.
II was reported In ST. Petersburg at
a late hour Monday night that Kuro-
patkln's rear guard had been almost
annIhilated and that the main Russian
army is In danger OF being surrounded.
Kuropatkin. in his report, makes no
mention Of the abandonment OF 200
guns at Liao Yang, rumor TO which

The packers. who have often declared
they would not meet the laboring men.
will undoubtedly deny today that a
conference has been held. But the fact
remains that duly authorized repre-
.sentatives Of the owners of the pack
ing plants did meet the labor men,
What doubt existed as to the posi-
tion of the switchmen in the strike
has been dispelled by Grand Master
Frank Hawiey Of the organization.
Hawley, at a meeting of the union,
said the men would remain at work

ABOUT WEARING OLD CLOTHES
We Can Do This Gracefully n We
Know We've Good Ones at Home.

Now, why is this?" said a pretty
girl who likes nice things, but hasn't
money enough to buy as many as she
would like. "My gloves are all worn
out, so that there are holes in all the
finger tips, and I'm positively ashamed
to wear them, and | buy new pair.
But when I've got the new pair
keep on wearing the old ones, and
wear them then without being asham-
ed of them at all.
Nov, why is this? Well, l suppose
it's on account of the moral support
| get from the new gloves that I'm
saving up now at home. The people
! meet may think, just as they did be-
fore, that the old gloves are the best
I've got, but l know better l could
wear just as good as anybody, now,
II wanted to, and SO trot right along
without worrying. wearing the old.
"And it's just the same about any
thing else. If you've got good things
you're not ashamed to wear old ones.
i've worn skirt until it was so
shabby that it was disgrace to ap-
pear on the street in it, and then
bought a new one and hung it up in
the closet and kept on wearing the
old one and feeling just as clipper as
could be in it; and I've known other
girls to do just the same thing.
If you haven't got the things, you
are miserable; but If you have got
them, you can wear what you like"

Montreal, Nov. 15.-Major Allison
Edwards, United States Consul Gen
eral, who returned to-day from a visit
to his home at Fargo. North Dakota,
said in an interview: "The proper
way to describe the manner. in which
the People of North Dakota are COM
ing over into Western Canada is to
say they are coming over in droves.
Among the people there did not seem
to be any thought of there being a
boundary line at all. 1t is simply a
question" addel the major, ''of there
not being any more land in North Da-
kota and the surrounding States
and the people are flocking to Canada
to get good farms. Naturally the
number that will come over will in
crease all the time, and l may say
the people you are getting are the
best people in the West. They are
we'll supplied with money and are
we'll acquainted with the conditions
under which they will have to work"
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment are prepared to give the fullest
information regarding homestead and
other lands.
