A Baltimore Man Makes Unusual
Matrimonial Record.

H. ]. Reitz, a retail merchant of
baltimore. was recently married to
his stepmother The ceremony was
performed in Camden, N. j., the
bride and groom returning late to
Mr.. Reitzs home.

her present husbands father several
wears ago, and was his second wife.
BY a former wife Mr.. Reitz, Sr., had
six children, and five children by
his second marriage. These now be-
come the step-children of their half
brother.
The laws of the state of Maryland
nrohibit a marriage between a man
and his stepmother. 1t is under
stood. however, that Mr.. and Mrs.
Reitz obtained legal advice to the
effect that such marriage per-
formed outside the state is perfectly
valid in Maryland.

an accordion playing music.
On the way north the men said
that they landed part Of the stores,
Peary telling them that in fifteen
months there would be relief ship
sent to them. But such ship never
came. Since August last they have
been living on two meals a day.
They criticised Peary in the strong
est terms possible, and said they
would not undertake a similar voy-
age in such a ship again for ali the
money in the United States treasury.

A lady of our city has found a
sure cure for broken dishes. If the
dish to be mended can be tied to-
gether with a stout string and then
placed in boiling milk and left one
hour, you can never tell the dish had
been broken and it can afterwards
be put into boiling water without
the pieces coming apart. This ex-
pertinent has been tried and proven,
and many are the broken dishes
which were thought to be useless
which are now as good as new.

FITZGERALD INDICTED.
Man Who Promoted Colony of That
Name i'm South Georgia.

Man VINO PrO0Oteu OOlOHy Oh IldG
Name in South Georgia.
An indianapolis, Ind, dispatch
says that Philander H. Fitzgerald, a
capitalist of that city, has been in
dicted on two counts by the federal
grand jury on the charge of using
the United States mails to defraud
in connection with the 1904 Colony
Company, which he has been pro-
noting in southern Georgia. He
gave bond in the sum of $4,000 for
his appearance in court Tuesday
next.
The colony company has for it's
object the colonization of number
of people in southern Georgia. Mr..
Fitzgerald has been interested in for
mer colonization companies in Geor-
gia and Texas A number of wit
nesses from Georgia were here to
testify before the grand jury.
It is claimed in the charges by
L. A. Howarth, of Atkinson, Kans.,
and /. A. Worsford, of Waukegan,
H., that Fitzgerald purchased 5000
acres of land in southern Georgia,
founded the town of ST. George and
took subscriptions for stock on
promises that were not carried out.
1t is also claimed by Worsford that
$4,000 in profits has never been ac-
counted for to the company, which
was not incorporated as promised.
Mr.. Fitzgerald charges the suits are
the result of spite work.

CRUEL TO CREW I?
SENSATIONAL CHARGES AGAINST
NORTH POLE EXPLORER.
His Friends Say He Was Necessarily
Severe in Order to Maintain
His Authority.

His Authority.
A letter has been received at OF
tawa, Ont, from one of the crew
of the ship by means of which Com
mander r. E. Peary made his most
recent failure in trying to reach the
north pole, that complains of terrible
cruelty on the part of the leader of
the expedition. 1t contains general
criticism of the men who reached
"farthest north"
The charges are laughed at by the
officers of the Attic Club, which
backed the Peary expedition, and
they declare that the commander
could not have been cruel for his
own personal safety. They state on
an expedition of that kind perfect
discipline is necessary. If it had be-
come necessary to be severe in order
to maintain his authority Command
er Peary would have undoubtedly
measured up to the occasion.
The Complaint.
J. Shortall is the complainant.
He wrote the letter on October %
at Hopedale. 1t was forwarded on
the ship Virginian Lake to Sydney,
n. S., where it was mailed to friends
in Ottawa.
Shortall writes that conditions had
become so bad when they reached
Hopedale that the mate, four sailors
and four firemen refused to go furth-
err on the ship, which was leaking
badly through it's crushed stern. The
ship had slung it's third rudder,
which was but a poor makeshift
Two rudders were carried away on
the down passage.
The members of the crew had lit
tie to eat and were living in squal-
or. short all around. Their expe-
riences were worse, he wrote, than
the hardships they endured in the
Polar regions.
His Last Trip.
Shortall says they had the hard
est time on the voyage of any crew
that ever was a1oat. He declares
that none of them would go north
again under any circumstances.
One of the crew of the Virginian
Lake, who boarded Peary's ship at
Hopedale, stated the crew told him
the vessel had three boilers when it
left Sydney, but while off Greenland
two of them burst. The crew also
said the ship was not strong. 1t
was totally unfit for Attic work, and

MILLIONS FOR LUxURIES
FROM DIAMONDS DOWN TO To-
BACCO EVERY YEAR.
Vast Wads of Wealth Go from the
United States to Satisfy Desire
for Expensive Things.

for Expensive Things.
over 100 million dollars was sent
out of the United States in the fiscal
year 1906 in the purchase of luxu-
ries. This total of 100 million dol
lars worth of luxuries imported in
the fiscal year just ended includes,
according to the bureau of statistics
of the department of commerce and
labor, over 10 million dollars worth
Of diamonds and other precious
stones; about 40 million dollars
worth of laces, edgings, embroidery,
and ribbons; about seven million dol
lars worth of feathers, natural and
artificial; over six million dollars
worth of champagne, and the re-
mainder of miscellaneous articles,
such as perfumeries and toilet ar
ticles, smokers articles, and opium
for smoking. If to this is added the
value of tobacco, cigars and cigar
cites imported the total will reach
l25 millions of dollars. This grand
total of 125 million dollars, includ-
ing tobacco and cigars in this class,
is more than double the imports of
similar articles a decade ago, the to-
tai of 1896 for the articles above
named having been 81 million dol
lars, and in 1906 125 million dol
lars.
Diamonds and other precious
stones show the largest increase dur
ing the decade, the total value of
precious stones, jewelry and manu-
facturers of gold and silver i'm
ported in 1896 having been ST.
944,032, and in 1906 $42,12O,715.
Of this the item of precious stones
and jewelry diamonds alone formed
about 80 million dollars IN 1906
against little less than seven mil
lions in 1896. Cotton laces, edgings
and embroideries are the second
item in value in this list of luXu
ries imported, aggregating "a mil
lion dollars in 1906, against little
less than II millions in 1896.
Opium for smoking, which amount
ed to IA millions in 1906, was
about q of a million dollars in
value in 1895. PerfNneries and all
toilet articles amounted to a little
over one million dollars in 1896;
and pipes and other smokers arti-
cles amounted to over 100000 in
1906, against $334,0O0 in 1896.
The "a million dollars worth of
cotton laces, edgings and embroider-
les imported is drawn chiefly from
Switzerland, France, Germany and
the United Kingdom, the total from
Switzerland in 1906 being $11,214,-
718; from France $10,391, LAT;
from Germany $6,044,151, and from
the United Kingdom $5,735,027.
The silk laces and embroideries i'm
ported, amounting to over four and
one-fourth million dollars in 1916,
are drawn chiefly from France, from
which the imports in 1906 were
valued at $3,463,510-
Of the artificial feathers, flowers
fruits, grains and leaves, amounting
to over three million dollars in the
importations of 1906, about two
thirds are drawn from France, and
nearly all of the remainder from
Germany. Of the over six million
dollars worth of champagne import
ed in 1906 about 80 per cent. were
drawn from France, the remainder
chiefly from the United Kingdom and
Belgium.
