GEN. MILLER MARRIED AGAIN.
HEADOFPENN, NATIONALGUARD
WON'T TELL or CEREMONY.p

Rumo Or That II Took Place in Manhattan

Mrs. Miller May Make Trouble Tor
Couple by COntesting the Marriage.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. ~ Major aen. j..
Charles Miller of Franklin. head OF the
Pennsylyania National Guard, one OF the
richest men in the United States. and Mrs.
Miller registered at the Berevue-Stratford
tonight and announced that in their opinion
u IL nobody's business but their own when
and where they we're married.
The telegraphio announcement from Gen.
Miller In New York to the Bellevue-Stra
ford: my wife and will arrive this eve
ming, was the FIRST formal declaration that
the marriage had taken place. This, the
General thinks, Is just as it shoul9 be and he
positively declines to state when and where
the ceremony took place.
One Of his friends whispered that the
ceremony took place at the Manhattan
Hotel, New York, although the friend seemed
not to know whether 1t was yesterday or
Immediately upon the arrival of the General
and his party from an extensive trip through
Europe.
The limit Of Millers statement was con-
tanned In the words: Il have my wife.
she has a marriage certificate and we both
have the blessing OF my children, who are
glad to see us happy, and do not see that
the public, has any further claim upon us
for news.
Gen. Miller had many stories to tell OF
the dangers Of getting married N PARIS
from which city came the first public an
nouncement of his intention to take wife
He was ready to talk about anything butt
dates.
"There is no mystery about the thing.
he declared Just before l went abroad
I announced to the members Of my family
my intention to marry Mrs. Bullen, and they
all approved She was in France at the
time, despite statements that she went
abroad just after l did. She was there and
] went with quite party.
There was my clergyman, the Kew NJ; r.
Fixes, OF the Baptist church in Franklin;
there was my son, who is a Yale man and
q lawyer and Mrs. Bullen's companion
and my sons wife. We were in strong
position with clergyman, lawyer and
two chaperons. MY present wife made
several trips with u.s. We visited France.
Germany, Holland and England and had a
fine time"
Were you married abroad?"
y am married now. That is all will say;
vent abroad to get married, and Se had
q fine trip
The General said he intended to make
his home in Franklin.
It is very probably that the first Mrs.
Miller will make trouble for the newly
welded couple and will endeavor to con-
test the marriage.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT
Wecvils and Other Pests Increasing in
Portions OF Texas.

| by Wire TO r. III. Wilson IL Co.
Washington, Sept. 13.-Below is
summary of the governments week
| ly crop report issued yesterday morn
| ing at i O'Clock:
In the Carolinas the cotton situa-
tion is not materially changed as
compared with that of previous
weeks In South Carolina a slight
improvement is indicated in soem To-
calities and deterioration in others.
Plant has stopped growing on sandy
lands, but continues green and is
fruiting on clay soil. Slight improve
ment is reported from Alabama and
portions of Louisiana and Texas, but
in Florida. Georgia, Tennessee, Ark
ansas. Oklahoma, Indian Territory
and the greater part of Texas there
has been more or less deterioration,
with slight improvement over scatter
ed localities. Boil weeyils and other
pests are increasing IN portions of
Texas Generally the weather condf-
tions throughout the belt have been
highly favorable for picking which
work has been actively carried on
The harvesting of spring wheat is
now practically finished in North
Dakota and Minnesota, Large areas,
however, on flooded low lands in the
last named state have been abandon
ed. In North Dakota the little thresh-
ing that has been done indicates dis
appointment, yields considerably
smutty. In South Dakota the yield
of spring wheat is good but the
quality is variable. Threshing is com
pleted in Oregon and harvesting is
progressing under favorable condi-
tions in Washington except in the
Northwestern counties. where it has
been interrupted by showers. Not
withstanding the excessive moisture
and cool weather over the great
er part OF the corn belt, corn has
generally made good progress toward
maturity, having advanced rapidly
in the northwestern and western por-
tions
Much of the crop is already safe
and cutting is general over south
ern portions of the belt In Iowa it
is estimated that four-fifths of the
crop is already safe In Iowa is is
estimated that four-fifths of the crop
viii he safe from frost by the 25th
and the remainder by the 30th.
Flowing and seeding have made ex-
.cellent progress throughout the cen
trail valleys, lake regions and middle
Atlantic coast districts.
