ST.. LOUIS, March 3l.-A couple who
afterward applied to the marriage
license clerk at the City Hall for lega

Before leaving the building the cou,
pie went to the basement, where the
woman knelt on the steps in prayer
The man stood by listening to the
woman's supplications and apparently
making solemn vows that his compan-
ion demanded OF him
Thus they remained for quarter
OF an hour, much TO the amazemeni
OF Policeman Robert II Lee, who had
been keeping an eye on them Finally
they left the building In apparently
the happIest mood
At No. 1923 North Market street,
where Caldwell formerly boarded, II
was said that he and Mrs. Hoffman
were divorced on February % last, but
had determined to re-marry. Cald-
well has five children by former wife

Caldwell returned to his home last
night aud said that he was going away
to visit relatives and would send for
his trunks to-day.
To other friends Caldwell intimated
that he was to be married today, the
ceremony to take place at the home Of
his former wife
Caldwell is employed as a mechanic

"That Colonel Roosevelt will be

platform, but large minority win re-
ceive II sullenly. In fact, the reading
out process Of the tariff reform Repub-
licans has already begun"
Mr.. Clark recounted the efforts Of
the minority members of the house to
secure reduction Of the tariff on par
ticular articles through the introduc-
tion OF separate bills at the present
session Of Congress. Referring to these
bills, he saidY
'They are all sleeping the sleep OF
death, In that great mausoleum Of
tariff reform hopes, the room of the
committee on ways and means"
NO FREE-TRADE PARTY.
He declared that there is no free
trade party in the United States, say
ing, whenever our stand-pat friends
get intoa hole, they resurrect the
'bogy man Of free trade and hold him
in terror over the heads Of the Ameri-
can people.
"Nobody knows better than they do
that there Is no free-trade party in the
United States and thev oughf IN ault
asserting that there is. We can all be
honest even II we can't be great"
He quoted at length the Democratic
position as outlined by Mr.. williams,
the minority leader, in magazine ar
ticle, the position taken being that
"taritf for revenue only" was the
doctrine Of the party.
