REVIVALIST M4RRIES AT 81.
The Rev. william II. Russell and the Widow
Dinfiey Stir Ocean Grove D0minies.

AsBURY PARK, n. j., July l0.-The Metho-
dist dominies in Ocean Grove are in a tremor
over the romantic marriage Of the Rev.
William H. Russell, leader of the cottage
revival group, whose plunge into matri-
mony last Thursday was accomplished with
such secrecy that the facts have only just
been disclosed. The bridegroom is 81
years old, Mrs. Catherine Armour Diffley
is the bride. She says she is 49, and she
doesn't look any older.
Mrs. Diffley became enthusiastic over the
house-to-house campaign of the aged
minister and he began counting. She paid
willing attention. The attachment angered
their children, who sought to have the mar
riage postponed. On Thursday the couple
went before the Rev. Edward Mount, a
West Asbury Park minister, after having
been turned down by dozen others, and
he tied the knot. Mr.. and Mrs. Russell are
now receiving congratulations.
The bridegroom's son. with whom he
has lived in New York for many years is
Isaac Franklin Russell, instructor at CO.
lumbia law school, The bride formerly
conducted a Catholic orphanage. She be-
came a Protestant and enga ged In charitable
work. She is said to be related to the New

BAD RUM IN PENNSYLVANIA.
DR. Warren Asks Clergymen to Preach
Abstinence.

PHILADELPHIA, July lo.--Jurisdiction
over liquors having been taken away from
the Dairy and Food Department by a deci-
sion OF the Supreme Court Of Pennsyl-
vania DR.. B. H. Warren, the Commissioner
of tho department, to-day began to send
copies of an appeal to more than 5000
clergymen throughout the State, asking
them to adjure their congregations to alb
stain from all alcoholic liquors, at least tenn
porarly, as a guard to their health.
DR.. Warren points out that certain un-
scrupulous dealers, confident that they are
removed from the power and scope Of the
dairy and food commission under the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court. have begun
to flood the State with liquors adulterated
with poisonous drugs. He declares that the
safety of the public health lies only in abb
stinence from all alcoholic liquors for the
present time The decision which caused
the trouble was to the effect that the act
under which the dairy and food depart
ment prosecutions are brought does not refer
to liquors, but confines attention to food.
DR.. Warren says that the next Legislature,
which does not meet until January, 1908,
shall be appealed to. but that in the mean
time he will hunt for way to reach the
liuuor adulterators.

MADRID, July 1o.-Sehor Romanones,
the Minister Of Agriculture, has presented
to King Alfonso memorial upon the SUBJ
ject Of the national distress. He points
out that foodstuffs and other articles Of
prime necessity are enormously dear in
the interior, fact which is due to the i'm
practical operation OF the railroads and
prohibitive freight rates.
The crops Of Andalusia and La Mancha
are. he says, totally lost 1t is impossible

on foreign wheat and -four has benefited
only the ports 1t has not benefited the
inhabitants of the inland districts. SPANS
coal bearing regions, covering 100000
acree, hardly have been touched, and the
result is the necessity Of importing two
million tons Of coal annually.
Minister Romanones proposes to call
conference Immediately Of the most
prominent manufa cturers, agriculturists
and railroad men Of the country and also
Of workngmen to devise some plan OF
remedying the faults that exist and re-
lieving the misery.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, July lo.-President
Roosevelt, 1t Is understood hero, Is. much
wrought up by the cotton report leak +,
and 1t is probable that criminal prosecu-
ton may result from the investigation by
the Secret Service. not unlike the ruthless

Office department. Thus far the matter
has not been laid before the President
formally, but 1t is known that SO far back
as last Tuesday. when the President was
on his way to Secretary Hays funeral,
he and Secretary Wilson had a long talk
on conditions in the Department Of Agri-
culture, with particular reference to the
cotton scandal.
United States District Attorney Beach
of the District Of Columbia, after more
or less superficial examination of the case,
thought that he did not have sufficient
evidence for criminal proceedings against
Holmes, the assistant statistician who Is
alleged to have given out advance informa-
ton to certain cotton brokers. But the
Department of Justice will not let the matter
rest at that and Attorney General Moody
now has it under consideration.
Before many days, it is expected, the
President will have before him the report
of Mr.. Moody and that of the Southern
Cotton Association. The latter report the
President must have before he can take
any action as to the retiring or dismissal
Cheatham, secretary, and Harvie Jordan,
president of the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton, are now comforting with view to

Even with the penalty for taking human

few blocks from the undertaker's room
in which Gerdron's body lay.
All day men and women, all French and
all of the Tenderloin type were coming and
going at the undertaker's. The dead man
lay in a coffin in rear room. His broad
chest. tattooed over the heart with hand
grasping a bloody dagger, was exposed
showing the wound that killed him.
Tears that left smudgy, meandering tracks
over painted cheeks flowed abundantly
from the eyes Of women who came to see
the dead man. He was leading light

ties.
The parchment measures 2oh by 231s
inches and is deliberately executed. On the
left margin appear three lions, crowned,
with three ieurs-de-is On the right are the
lion rampant, the harp and the Tudor rose.
each symbol being likewise crowned. The
whole is surmounted by representation Of
the royal arms and portrait Of King Will
lam III.
