The rain was coming down heavily
at the time, but the strange couple not
only slept but snored on. regardless
o. the dampness and the dirt. The
market gardeners informed policemen,
who woke up the couple. The man and
woman rubbed their eyes for some mo-
ments, and were too dazed to answer
questions or to give explanations. At
last the man seemed to remember
events, and he told his story. He had
been married to the woman who was
in his arms on the Notifications. They
had a copious banquet In honor Of the
wedding, and at midnight they went

PRESIDENT HEARST ADDRESSES
DEMOCRATIC CLUBS ASSOCIATION
Sets Forth Those Principles for Which American
Democracy Stands

New York, Oct. 4.-Wiliam Ran
dolph Hearst, president of the National
Association of Democratic Clubs, has
issued an address to that association,
urging upon it's members special ac-
tivity and untiring energy from now
until the closing of the polls"
Mr.. Hearst's address says in part :
Il have offered my services and those
of my newspapers to the managers of
the Democracy, and in so far as have
felt justified as your president in so
doing, have offered the much greater
influence of the National Association
of Democratic Clubs, pledging the hon
est &C, operation of all the members to
further effort on the lines of that genu-
inc Democracy in which a majority of
the American people believe.
1T is the duty of the members of
the National Association of Democratic
Clubs and of all Democrats to unite
in proving that Democrats have prin-
ciples, and permanent principles.
1.-THE Democratic party has a great
respect for vested rights-it has also a
great hatred of vested wrongs, no mat
ter how long or respectable their ante
cedents. Democrats believe in the
statement of their platform that the
rights of labor are certainly no less
vested" no less sacred" and no less
''inalierfable" than the rights of capi-
tall.
Democrats denounce the exporta-
ton without process of law of work.

THE SEABOARD
WAS RESTRAINED
FROM EXPECTING A MERGER
WITH THE SEABoARD AND RoA.
NOkE RAILROAD.

Meeting of the stockholders of the
seabOard and Roanoke Was to
Have Been Held at II O'CIoclx-At
Three Minutes to That Hour Of
ficals of the SeabOard Air Line
Were Served With a Restraining
Order.
Norfolk, Va. Oct. 4.-Upon the petit
ton of Charles Chauncey, of Mont
gomery county, Pennsylvania, Federal
Judge Waddill to-day granted tenn
porary injunction forbidding the merg-
ing of the Seaboard Air Line and the
@seaboard and Roanoke Railroad. Mr.
Chauncey holds 1000 per cent. GER
tificates of Indebtedness, issued by the
Seaboard and Roanoke in 1886 to the
amount of $69O,OOO, and says $2S5,OO0
of this issuance are still outstand-
ing.
The injunction was served upon
President J. M. Barr and General
Counsel Leigh R. Watts of the Sea-
board Air Line, at three minutes to
IL o'clock to-day. A meeting of the
stockholders of the Seaboard and Roa
noke had been called for II o'clock,
and it is declared the merger would
have been voted for at that meeting.
President Barr said tonight the pro-
ceedings were of no consequence. To
the Associated Press, General Counsel
Watts said:
Mr.. .Chauncey is seeking to secure
protection for the holders of certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness issued by the Sea-
board and Roanoke Railroad, and we
had already planned to give the very
protection he desires, but 1 do not
think he was aware of this when he
instituted the proceedings. The mat
ter is giving US no concern, and am
sure it will be settled without any
trouble"
The Seaboard Air Line has been di-
recting the management of the Sea-
board and Roanoke for several years.
and it is claimed by the petitioner in
the proceedings that the merger would
have meant the complete destruction
of the corporate existence of the Sea-
board and Roanoke Railroad
In open court here Nov Z, at II a. H.,
but the defendants are given the right
of an earlier hearing, providing they
give FIVE days notice to the counsel
for the plaintiff that they intend to
move for a dissolution of the injunc-
ton.
A bond of $4,000 was required to-day
of the plaintiff.
After the injunction had been served,
the Seaboard and Roanoke stock
holders elected the following officers:
James M. Barr, president Directors:
Leigh r. Watts, Portsmouth; R. C.
Hoffman, Baltimore; j. H. Dooley,
Richmond r. l.. Mutt. Portsmouth;
c.. Z. Johnson, Raleigh, N. c.; l. j.
Miller, New York.
A meeting of the Seaboard and Tar
River Railroad was held Immediately
afterwards, and the same officers and
directors were chosen.

American soil. The Democracy de-
tests all kinds of anarchy, and especial
ly that which puts the executive of
state, backed by the militia, above
the laws and above the courts.
The Democracy believes in putting
the thieves out of the Postoffice De-
partment. and all other branches of
public service. from the United States
Senate all the way down.
THE Democrats believe that public
property is public property, ana not
even the occupant of the White House
should turn men-of-war into private
yachts, or make of the officers and
sailors of the navy the domestic ser
wants of the Presidents household.
"The Democratic party believes in
expansion-It is the party of expansion,
as jefferson was Americas greatest ex-
pansionisr But it is opposed to i'm
perialisrn.
THE Democratic platform says: we
denounce protection as a robbery of
the many to enrich the few and Dem
ocraits mean exactly what the plat
form says.
"They know that through protection
the trusts rob the public, workingmen
and business men alike. And Demo-
Gratis. if elected. will find way to
pull away from the trusts their pro-
tecting cloak-the tariff.
"These, with a heartily pledged sup
port of the Monroe doctrine, a demand
that the service of the old soldiers be
fairly and generously recognized, and
a vigorous protest against the attempt
Of President Roosevelt to stir up race
hatred as an engine of political adj
vancement constitute the main fea-
lures of the latest Democratic plat
form, worded to meet the especial con-
ditions and emergencies of the day."

TIRED OF BOW WOW.

From the st. Louis Republic.
The cannibals and the dog eaters OF
the Worlds Fair have reformed
Coming to the exposition has worked
a reformation in the habits and appe-
tites of the dog eating Igorrotes and
the cannibalistic pygmies.
No longer is the cry for dog heard
on the Filipino reservation. The lit
tie Igorrotes are content with an
American beef diet. otenbang. the lit
tie cannibal OF the pygmy tribe, has
grown refined in his appetite. and even
among his own people In the jungle,
where dog stew was considered a
tempting dish. the reformed Otenbang
now waves II aside with disgust. He
has acquired the tastes of the Ameri-
can Indian, HIS neighbor at the Worlds
Fair grounds, and considers his menu
OF good, wholesome beef and vegetables
welcome substitute for the jungle
diet.
Not even a fat fox terrier, which was
presented to Otenbang by Gov. Hunt
of the Igorrotes when the former paid
his first call last week to the Filipino
reservation, proved tempting enough
The little white dog is the pet OF the
pygmy camp, and rivals in the affec-
lions OF the little black men from the
jungles with their parrots and mon
key.
Otenbans, through their interpreter,
Kondola, yesterday explained that the
reason at first for his reform was the
fact that he had no one to share his
dog with him, as the other members
Of the pygmy party refused to partake
OF tile proposed feast of dog. This
was the reason the little dog was per-
mltted to live" said Otenbang, and
then, after two days, we became so
fond OF him / decided It would be a
pity to kin him. and shall take him
home with me to the Philippines. Be
sides, like the American food bet
ter"
IL was said that the reason the Igor
rotes had abandoned the dog eating
habit was because of action taken by
the Humane Society TO prevent the
habit But the little Igorrotes Wig
orously deny that a ban was placed on
their dog feasts by any outsider. They
say they no longer care for dog so
long as their present diet OF rice and
beef prevails as the official bill Of
fare.
II Is said that the recent visit Of Col.
Clarence r. Edwards. chief of the Blu
reau Of Insular Affairs. TO the Filipino
camp is responsible for the change. in
asmuch as he has made the daily menu
furnished the Igorrotes so attractive
as to discourage the dog eating habit.
AS a result Of the change tho dog
market has slumped so badly that the
old men who made II business to pro-
vide dogs for the little savages have
been compelled. on account OF the de-
creased demand, TO look elsewhere for
-. a.
that they could not afford TO even pay
carfare TO the exposition grounds.

Company for dinner.
Ardleigh, $3.50 p. IN.
Red was the prevailing color of the
table decorations. Mighty Atom, a
dog of the best taste, is very fond OF
red dahlias. and those flowers decked
the board. Silver candelabra with red
shades adorned the head and foot of
the table and threw a subdued light
on Mighty Atom and his seven guests.
OF course Mrs. Lehr's Pomeranian
graced the head of the table. The sew
en- were placed In high chairs. and be-
hind them were seated their mis-
tresses who assisted five buffers in
serving the delicate menu. Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish and Mrs. Hermann Dell
richs were two of those who thus
proved their affection for their pets.
With few well chosen banks,
Mighty Atom asked his guests TO taste
the veal outlets which formed the first
course. The dish was delightful, and
the company gave quiet demonstra-
ton of its pleasure and further ap-
petite So frankfurters were served to
them. The guests devoured them with
gusto, after being assured that there
was nothing cannibalistic in so doing.
Then salads, ice cream and chocolates
were placed before these lucky dogs,
and all were highly appreciated.

breeding could not hide the fact that
they were bored So Mr.. Leflr hit up
