covering from the shock of the an
nouncement of the marriage of Mrs.
Naomi Covay Duncombe, the richest
woman of that section, to Patrick j..
Ring, ex-wrestler and strong man and
for a number of years manager of her
estate. Mrs. Duncombe and Ring have
given the residents of Mount Vernon
much food for gossip in the last few
years, and it was only last June that
she publicly horsewhipped him be-
cause, as she declared, she found him
coming out of her new opera house at an
early hour in the morning with young
woman who was prominent socially and
who up 10 that time had taken leading
part in Sunday school work. TWAS sup
posed that this incident ended the ro-
nance between Mrs. Duncombe aud
Ring, of which there had been rumors
for long time. He disappeared for a
time. Now comes the news that they
slipped quietly away to Long Island City
and were married there by the Rev. Mr..

scheduled to take place today in the

It is known that the billets are being
shaded privately. The United States
Steel Corporation may compel the men,
bers to meet in a short time.

REBECCA HARDING DAVIS calls at
tention in the September Success to the
fact that the marriage tie has grown
notably less sacred within the past gen.
Grafton, and asks if this is not explained
by the other fact that marriage and its
duties and dangers and delights are no
longer the chief things in life to Amerl-
can men and women. She cites various
instances tending to show that woman'S
advanced social and professional inter
ests have lowered her ideals. In line
with this is the comment of Ella
Wheeler Wilcox that higher education
of women is responsible indirectly for
increased divorce.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

Asstated in the Gazette OF that day
the Grand Camp of Confederate Vet
Grams of Virginia met in Lynchburg yes
terday.
Judge Christian, in his annual report
as grand commander slid
II have the pleasure to report that
FIVE new camps have been added to our
roll during this year, and that others
have beeu formed, but have not yet ap-
lied for their charters.
"These additions make total of l2l
camps on our rolls ~ | am par
ticularly gratifed to be able to report
the acquisition to our roll. of the Harry
Heth Camp of Washington city. This
camp is composed of fine material, and
can, and 1 believe will, be of real as
sistance in the further prosecution Of our
work"
As to pensions the grand commander
said:
az believe the State'of Virginia is now
doing all it is able to do in the way OF
pensioning our needy comrades and their
families. trust that the same spirit Of
charity. patriotism and loyalty to princi-
ole manifested by our legislature in the
past will contin ue to prevail, While ]
am in favor of giving pensions to all
those comrades and their families who
really deserve them and cannot help them
selves. yet l have always thought,
and still think, that pensions should be
limited to these classes. think this ia
the true principle which should control
in the giving of all pensions; and if it
had prevailed in the administration OF
the federal government in this matter
both the government and the pensioners
would be better off. No man should be
peusioned or paid for having served his
country in time of war" $3.50,
Relative to an invitation to attend the
recent G.. A. r. reunion at Boston, Judge
Christian said:
"Some time in June / received a
courteous letter from the commander of
Edward W. Kinsley Post, lib, G. A.
R., Boston, inviting me to attend a
meeting to be held in Faneuil Hall on
August 10 (when the G. A. r. would
be in that city,, to meet members of that
organization and other distinguished
guests. / declined this invitation in the
most courteous terms, and stated my
reasons for doing 30" Summarized,
these reasons were substantially that
the speaker still loved the memories
and principles of the Confederate
struggle, and while be had loyalty end
in good faith accepted the results OF
the war, he was fully convinced now, as
in 1861, that the cause was righteous
one, and he could. therefore, never will
ingly join with those who met to rejoice
that we did not succeed 10 that struggle
THAT in these war celebrations itseerned
to me there was no common or congenial
ground on which the soldiers Of these two
armies could stand; that in these meet
ings we saw things from opposite points
of view, and hence the recitals which
would make them rejoice would make me
sad and vice versa"

Veterans were 10 session, speeches being

SITUATION IN TEE EAST.

Inactivity of the opposing armies OF
Russia and Japan continues, and no
fighting of a general character is re-
ported.
Information coming from an authorita-
tive source in st. Petersburg is that the
Russians will winter at Hardin, but the
fact that there probably will be two
months of good weather for military
operations before extreme cold weather
sets in leaves room for revision of this
purpose in the light of events that may
transpire.
The publication of Gen. Kuropatkin's
report of the fighting from August 26
until the retreat upon Mukden has Gre
ated better feeling in st. Petersburg.
The report distinctly places upon Gen.
Orloff the responsibility for the failure
to hold the heights in the vicinity of
Sykwantun and so check the japanese
advance.
Col. Gaedke, the war correspondent OF
the Berlin Tageblatt, telegraphing to his
paper flom Tie Pass says 1.-The Russian
army is disposed south of this point. The
Japanese have advanced only about six
miles north of Liaoyang."
The japanese army is within twenty
one miles of Mukden. There is no indi-
cation of their advance.
The japanese are causing sensation
among the natives Of Manchuria as they
advance by establishing their own system
of taxation and administration as though
the country were actual japanese terri
tory. They are paying for supplies with
promissory notes on the war fund, a
blanket note being given for the payment
of each village on the basis ofpopulstion
leaving the residents to divide pro rata.
Few of these notes have yet been collect
ed in cash, but japanese officials are
collecting cash tax levied "for war ex-
penses."
They have even notified the governor
Of Mukden to discontinue the salt tax,
as it will be readjusted upon Japanese
basis. They have almost doubled the
custom duties at Yinkow, and have placed
such heavy tax upon the thousands OF
boats sailing thence as practically to
paralyze trade.
Much bushwhacking is going on upon
the road south of Mukdep aud many
Russian soldiers have been killed from
the fields of Chinese corn. However,
the corn harvest will soon begin, and
when the fields are cleared the country
will be much more suitable for military
operations. The weather continues IN
settled.
The conduct of the japanese since
their occupation of Liaoyang indicates
a laxity OF discipline. One of the first
incidents after the occupation was the
opening OF a number of music halls.
The Russian war Office is extremely re-
ticent regarding the present situation
and future plans at the front. 1t is
stated in general terms that the army is
concentrated around Mukden, leaving the
inference that it is ready to make anoth'
er stand. There has been no rain the
past two days, and it is probable the
country will now dry up and leave two
months of good weather for the fall CAM
paign.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT in his letter oil ac-
ceptance said: 1.-THE purchasing power
of the average wage received by the
wageworker has grown faster than the
cost of living, and this in spite OF the
continual shortening of working hours.
Both Dun's and Bradstreet'sindex num-
bers show slight increase in commodity
prices between August and September
l. Provisions, groceries, breadstufis,
fruits, etc, showed most ofthe advance.
The general level of values is 81 per
cent. above the low water mark touch
ed in July, 1896, during the free silver
panic. No one, save Hr. Roosevelt, will
pretend that the increased cost of living
during the past eight years has been OIL
set by anything like corresponding
advance in the earnings of the people.
