Delegates from fOrtv-twO States will
meet in this city Monday to consider the
so-called divorce evil. Ii will be one OF
the most effective meetings, so its pro-
moters say, ever held to consider this
subject and already the van guard is

SADIE against divorce. South Carolina

fused to send a delegation Henry b.

of Commissioners Of the District OF Co
lumbia, will welcome the convention

plished by its organization.
Statehood and pure food legislation
will engage the attention of the Senate
in open session next week. Senator

speech in favor of the two State bill.
Later in the week it is expected that his
colleague, Senator Foraker, will talk 10
opposition to it, All OF Tuesday will
be devoted to the Hepburn pure food
bill. The probabilities are that the bill

particulars and will then be allowed to
pass. Important work will be done in
committees. In the House the principal
feature will be the debate on aud pas
sage of the army appropriation bill as
the privileged measure of the week. A

Miss ALICE ROOSEVELT has now be-
come Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, the
nupiial ceremony which has made the
young people one having been performed
in the East Room of the White House
at noon today in the presence OF the
heads of the government OF the United
States and representatives of the civil
lied countries of the earth. Every de-
tail had been anticipated and the pro-
gra.nme was carried out to perfection.
The event had been the main topic OF
conversation in the society world for
some time. 1t has now passed into
history as an incident in cOnnec-
ton with the occupancy OF the
White House by Theodore Roosevelt.
No wedding that has heretofore
taken place in the United States has
been so generally advertised, nor has
any heretofore solemnized excited more
interest. The affection which culmi-
mated in today's ceremony was born in
the antipodes and blossomed and -four

age across the broad Pacific, the court
ship extending from the Orient to the
Occident. Before Mr. aud Mrs. Long
worth today stretch only the fOwery
paths of life and thousands wish them
bon voyage.

operated, secure articles of incorpo-
ration bringing it within the provisions
of the general laws Of the State, and
should it at any time see TT 50 to DO,
merge with the Washington South
ern at the northern end, forming one
continuous line between Richmond and
