PROMISE PROVES
RATHER COSTLY
WIDOW SECURES VERDICT OF
$500
James Bailey, Who Promised tc
Marry, But Didn't, Called on
to Pay for Injured
Feelings

The case Of Mary ]. Powers. 'iidoH
with five children, against James Bailey
for breach of promise, occupied tht
whole day in department number three
of the superior court yesterday. This
plaintiff received q verdict for $500 ir
full satisfaction of her injured feelings
The facts developed at the trial traced
their way over the whole United States
Love first blossomed into being in
Philadelphia, where after two short
days acquaintance the defendant
sought the heart and hand of the fair
widow.
The plaintiff kept little store. There
In the midst of canned goods, butter
milk and other homely but necessary
things of life, the defendant declared
his love and drew such pictures of the
happiness that was to come that the
defendant, forgetting that she had been
wooed and won before, consented to be-
come his wife.
Cupid Works Rapidly
In staid old Philadelphia the love-
making of the pair went on rapidly.
Their first meeting was upon November
20, 1904. Upon that date they had
plighted their faith and troth to each
other and agreed to marry. But busi-
ness, which knows not sentiment, in
terfered and on November 25. five days
after they had met, and three briet
periods of time after she had promised
to be his, the business interests of the
defendant called him nightly and he
told plaintiff that he would be forced
to leave her for a while.
The day had already been named.
January 25 of the next year should see
them married, but in the meanwhile
the defendant, who had wooed so
ardently must take care of his material
affairs.
Time passed on. The defendant found
business that kept him far away from
the object of his affection. and while
he was away from her his love grew
cold. But hers remained unchanged,
and faithful to the man that she had
pledged herself to marry, she waited
and hoped against hope almost for his
return.
Wrote Numerous Letters
She wrote him letters. Some re-

came west. Here she met him upon
two different occasions and here he
promised to wed her as soon as his
business affairs were settled so that he
need not worry.
But after a while his love grew cold.
His business called him up into the
desert where he had mining interests
and while there he forgot her and mar

Her faith in all mankind was gone and
she was injured in spirit.

Our postoffice department is grow ing economical. For years 1t las been required that postmasters put on the back of each letter received, the date and hour. of receiving. It is now contemplated doing away with this. This back-stamp, as it was called was good to prove a delin- quency on the part of the receiving office for delay in delivering. If it is done away with the addressee of a a letter can never have any way of establishing that his letter was un- duly delayed at the receiving office, yet hundreds of complaints of that kind are made. The experiment has been tried at Chicago, and it is said has resulted in saving the time of thirty clerks and expedited the de- livery of mail by from twenty min- utes to two hours. What Is to be- come of the thirty clerks that will no longer be needed will be an interest ing query to the clerks, if not to the general public.

There was a time when cotton proudly stood enthroned as king in this country. when 1t was not only the chief of our articles exported, but was pretty nearly the only thing we did export, to any great extent. It was a proud day for the south, and the south took advantage of it, ob- taining and holding the predomin- ance in the control of the country. The cotton went down. The war be- tween the states put American cotton at great disadvantage, and the pro- duction of that great stable in other countries sprang up by leaps and bounds, and at one time it looked as if American cotton would never again attain to any great position as an article of export. but would have to look to America for a market, writes Washington critic. Once more, however, cotton is the king of ex- ports. For several years the export trade in cotton has been advancing with remarkable strides. and for the fiscal year of 1906 it passed all former records. The export of raw cotton passed the s4O0. .0OO. 900 mark for the first time in the history of the country. Manufactured cotton has also partaken of this great advance. In 1904 it was $50. .O0O. 900 and in 1906 s53.0O0.0O0. Of manufactured cotton China is by far our best GUS toner. about s30,00O. 900 worth go- ing to that country last year. Of raw cotton the United Kingdom still continues to be our best customer. taking in 1906. s177. .OO0. 900 worth. Germany consumed. s1O1. .000. 900: France. s45. .O0o. 900. and Italy 3D. 0eO.00o. The export record em- phasizes the great prosperity that has come to the south. To show what a lead cotton has taken to figures of three other items of export will show: Breadstuss. s1ss. .OOo. 900: provisions sz11. coo. coo. and iron and steel manufactures. s1s1. COG. coo: making a total of s5ss. .0e0. 600 for the nert three great articles of export, against s4eo. .eoe. eco of cotton

In grave, honest truth says an ad- vocate of reform in the makeup of the uniform of Uncle Sam's soldiers our army uniforms have been going from bad to worse for several years. The blue uniforms, of the days from 1861 to 1865, was the nattiest ever put on by soldiers of this or any other country. It is true that some times the fit was not all that could be desired, but the style was attractive, and something to be proud of. In these days it is hard to tell soldier from a tramp, who had purloined the garb of some scarecrow in corn field. and the impression prevails that when the boys are called upon to don the uniforms designed and built un- der Taft's London importation not a tramp in the country would trade clothing with our soldiers.

Endurance Test of 17.OOO Miles.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Four of the finest cruisers in the American navy, the West Virginia. Colorado. Pennsyl vania and Maryland, started on race of over 5000 miles across the Atlantic and then on to the Phillppines-a total of 1000 miles.
 The four vessels are alike in design and engines, but they have a different type of boilers, and for that reason the outcome of the trip to Gibraltar, which is to be the first stopping point, will be watched with great interest by naval authorities.
 It is believed that all of the cruisers will cross the Atlantic to the entrance of the Mediterranean sea inside of ten days. The four vessels will not return to American waters for three years.

 OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept. 10.-In a half hours address at the bicentenary celebration of the Christ Episcopal church here President Roosevelt talk ed of the necessity of religion and clean living for welfare of the nation.
 q cannot understand any American citlzen," he said, "who has the faint est feeling of patriotism and devotion to his country falling to appreciate the absolute essential need of religion In it's broadest sense to the welfare of this country.
 "If 1t were not for the fact that in our villages and towns as they have grown up churches have grown up in them and In the churches men whose work Is not for the things of the body, but for the welfare of the soul, it would not be nation today, because this nation would not be At abode for civilized man."
 T wish to emphasize" said the pres ident, 'the vital importance to this na- ton of our people being taught to real lze that Christianity manifests itself in the conduct of Its most humble pro- lessor"
 The president took issues with for mer speakers who had said that the dominant tendencies fin the nation to- day were evil rather than good.
 Tt Is perfectly true" he said. "that in many things as people the tenden- cies at work among us today nre evil. but 1t is perfectly true also that there are plenty of other tendencies at work among us which are good"
 He spoke of the necessity of mem bers of Christian churches condemning vigorously those who take religion as cloak for their evil deeds. On the subject of riches the president said:
 There Is nothing 1 abhOr more than the telling of an untruth. whether a conventional untruth or not. and l would on no account be understood es affecting to deprecafe material well being. To tell men to disregard riches entirely ts to preach to them not only doctrine which it is impossible for them to live up to. but which the preacher knows perfectly well they will not try to live up to.
