MYRA kELLY's RoMANcE.-Ther real
story Of the meeting of the recent bride
and bridegroom, Myra Kelly and Allan
Macnaughton, makes a very pretty ro-
nance. Mr.. Macnaughton had read and
been captivated by Miss Kelly's book Of
East Side stories, Little Citizens, as
they appeared in MccIure,s Magazine.
When a friend of his brothers spoke of
bringing Miss Myra Kelly to one of the
frequent paper chases held at "Ce-
.dar Ridge Mr.. Macnaughton lay
low and said nothing about his
especial interest in meeting II the
author Of the stories he liked. OF the
actual meeting he says: From the first
moment, I began the love-making that
has lasted ever since, but it's only lately
that she's recognized it,. A charming
aspect Of the match is seen in the fact
that not only is Mrs. Macnaughton an
ardent partner of her husbands love for
horses, bit he, balancing the scales, en-
courages devotedly her interest in writ
ing, the result being that for some time
they have been both riding and writing
together.

TOXIC GAINS DOWN;
CONFIDENCE REVIVED

Toxic, Sept. 19.-Despite the fact
that the ebullition of popular dissatis-
faction over the peace arrangements
continues undated, there are indica-
tions that the business contingent IL
slowly SOLDERING down. The capital In
tended for new enterprises, following
the successful conclusion of the treaty
of peace, is gradually coming into the
banks as deposits in amounts which are
likely to lower the rate of interest.
The profound disappointment which
has prevailed has at least proved ben
eft to the extent of saving the people
fom any feverish intoxication, resulting
in bubble enterprises, like those whichs
accompanied the close of the war with
China. The moneyed class has resumed
the attitude Of cautious frugality
which guided it's transactions during
the war, the financial outlook is not
gloomy and capital is impatiently
awaiting solid investments. E.

The Czar's New Move.

The report that the car has inter
vened to call a second meeting Of The
Hague conference himself, having Sc
cured the cooperation of President
Roosevelt, whose invitation would nat
urally have taken precedence; of that
of the car, will prove interesting news
to all the world.
What specific line of discussion the
car will have to propose is, of course,
thing, and doubtless, out of his late
experiences, the car can find meat for
a weighty program. Besides, there were
many questions left unsettled in the
last conference. There was the ques-
ton of the duty of neutrals which very
nearly strained the peace of the world
when France was lending her ports to
lift the Russian fleet around the world
It was thought at the beginning of the
war that it would be impossible for
Russia 70 get her Baltic fleet to the
orient, but with French aid it arrived
and it is still theEe. 49,.
There is also the question Of contra
band. No doubt England did we'll sup
plying both belligerents with the sin
ews Of war under the guise of trade
The loss Of the few ships which were
caught red-handed and captured OF
sunk, cut very little figure in the rich
haul of John Bull.
These and many other questions are
open to the best thought Of the ma
tions. The late destructive war in thu
orient has sobered the fighting nations
to a degree which augurs well for calm
and practical discussion of ways ant
means to maintain peace. -. 49,

The Forbidden Land is like Christ

a paltry musical comedy-was here last

is--one must admit it-stout. He is very
funny in spite of, rather than because Of
his size. and he has the excellent judg-
ment to avoid all horseplay. This is true

The Real Object.

The pretense of the big insurance
companies that they made campaign
contributions in order to protect their
investments comes with very poor
grace from men who were making such
mighty poor use Of the funds they had
in hand. r0,~.s "|"@s % .~ ~ "
: The report, Of the Prick committee
showed that the Equitable kept on de-
post with certain trust companies,
whose stock it owned, immense sums on
which it got 2 per cent interest. In
addition it received dividends on the
stock making it's earnings something
less than per cent. The New York
Life pursuing the same policy placed
$10,00o,000 with one trust company on
which it got 1 per cent. -. az. .
These are the insurance managers
who were pouring out trust funds to
campaign. committees in order to ''pro-
tect their Investments. It is a rather
significant thing that other insurance
companies all thru the campaigns Of
1896 and 1900, while just as solicitous
for sound money as the New Workers,
did nothing in politics but husbanded
their resources and thru the hard times
were earning twice as much for their
policyholders as the three New York
companies.
The contributions to the national
campaign fund were, we are obliged
to believe, only blind. They were
to cover the real object Of the Equit-
able, Mutual and New York Life.
Their real object was to control the
governor, the legislature and the in.
surance commissioner. For years they
were successful The commissioner of
insurance was in turn named by each
Of them, and they were merrily exam
ined year after year and came thru
with a clean bill of health each time.
This is perfectly evident from the
fact that for weeks after the Prick re
port and the examination by Mr.. Hen
bricks, Governor Higgins opposed s
Legislative examination. The legisla
ture also hesitated until the avalanche
of public indignation descending upor
Albany compelled the undertaking Of
the work.

.GH0ULS TRY TO ROB
THE STUDEBAKER TOMB

South Bend, Ind, Sept. 19.-Since
the death of Glenn Studebaker, presi-
dent of the Studebaker Manufacturing
company, who died in November, 1901,
there has been a constant guard kept at
the Studebaker mausoleum at night, to
night Sunday the night Waterman,
Thomas Hackney, observed two sus-
piciously acting men in the neighbor-
hood of the tomb and their actions soon
indicated that they were about to rob
It. When he called to them, they Start
ed to run, and when he pursued, they
turned and fred on him. Half a dozen
shots were exchanged and Hackney is
sure he wounded one of the would-be
ghouls.
It is supposed the men intended to
hold the body for a heavy ransom.

! ! An unusually long program is presented
at the Unique theater this week, and con-
ssequently all of the acts are full Of snap.
The three Wichers lead with an excel
lent comedy sketch and musical act. They
are all accomplished musicians and intro
duce a good variety of comedy into their
work. Sam Murdy has a clever tambour-
Inc spinning act interspersed with some
good dialog, and De Aerian, contortion-
list, gives an amazing, exhibition Of body
twisting.
Russell and st. Claire have a musical
comedy act that does not differ greatly
from that given by the three Wichers.
The Rays, singers and dancers, are, of
course. well received. They have APP
peared at the Unique several times and
their act never grows tiresome. Francis

tions.
Harold Beckro, the boy singer, makes
his usual hit in the Illustrated songs and
an interesting series Of moving pictures
closes the show.

Getting Interested in Alaska.

It has been slow process, but con-
gress is gradually finding out that Alas
ka is deserving of attention; that the
government at Washington owes some
thing to the thirty or forty thousand
white people and twenty-five or thirty
thousand natives in that far-away re-
gion. A congressional party Of twenty
three, headed by Speaker Cannon, Wis
tied Alaska during the past summer.
AS a result, the speaker and leaders of
the house are no longer Indifferent
when Alaska is mentioned. They no
longer look blank when it is suggested
that the United States owns region
about onefourth Of the area Of the
United States, containing vast stores of
natural wealth, for the development, of
which it has done practically nothing.
Two years ago committee Of the
senate made a much more extensive
exploration than that of the house
committee, so that there are now small
groups of men in both houses who are
not only interested in Alaska, but have
some idea of what Alaska needs and
some disposition to grant it. = '.-' , =.
1t seems that the, house committee
+ have not taken very kindly to the idea
of delegate in congress owing to- the
4 difficulty incident to his election by a
population so widely scattered andwith
such incomplete facilities Of transpor-
tation and communication, and owing
to the assumed diversity Of interests
centering in the different sections of
the country. Instead of delegate
they propose congressional committee
on Alaska similar. to the congressional
committee on the District of Columbia
All matters pertaining to Alaska are
to be taken from the hands Of the com
mittee on territories and committed tc
this special committee. This, it is be-
ieved, will bring better results. Doubt
less it will improve the situation some
what, but it will never satisfy the de
mand Of the Alaska people for the
privilege of electing and sending {
delegate to congress to represent them
Another matter which made friends
with the congressional committee was
the project to build railroad from Val
DEE into the Tanana country The gov
eminent has taken some steps toward
road and trail-building and has put ar
army officer in charge of the work. This
officer has reported very favorably or
the construction Of this proposed rail
road, recommending. that the govern
ment guarantee per cent bonds for the
purpose Of building such line.
The only railroad Of any consequence
, in Alaska is the White Pass & Yukon
Ito miles long, across the border int
Il British Columbia. It is the railroad
link in the chain gof transportation tx
Dawson, and tho built at very heav,
4 expense, is one Of the most proftabl,
B pieces Of railroad property on the con
tinent.
There is every reason to believe tina
o road from Valdez thru the coppe
country into Fairbanks and EapI
would pay, but it is difficult to persuad
capital to take hold Of an experiment

not want to fight on the ground or on the

Longstreet was not to be made willing

change, the former failed to conceal some
anger: There was apparent apathy in his
