that American soldiers will have TO
be sent TO back up the demands of

New York (SpeciaD May the
tire of your husbands love never eX-
plode. May your married life be like
a board, level, mecadamized road
along which you will chug-chug in
perfect happiness"
With those words did Justice of
the Peace James Ludlow end pretty
little marriage ceremony in Jersey
City. Cupid was in an automobile
and wore goggles for the occasion,
so the big-hearted magistrate rose
to the occasion and gave his final
admonition to the happy pair in the
auto language.
The bride was Miss Anna Ryan,
of Hackensack, n. j., and tho groom
was James Chichester, of New York.
They were out driving when they de-
cided that the ceremony couldn't be
over too soon, so they pulled up at
the Jersey City Police Station and
asked Sergeant Riordan where the
nearest magistrate could be found.
Magistrate Ludlow came beaming out
of the station and said: Get ready;
the automobile will do" The mar
riage license was made out and sign
ed on the Sergeants desk.

CzAR'S TERRIBLE
MENTAL STRAIN
Cannot Sleep and at Times is Afraid
To Eat.
He MAY HAVE TO ABplcATE.
The Governor of Simbirsk Has Mar
row Escape - A Bomb Hurled at
Him Wounds Him in the Hand and
Leg Dire Straits of the Russian
Treasury Exposed.

London (By Cable) The health
of the Car is causing the greatest
concern of the authorities in Russia
who know of his real condition. This
is the statement made by the Post,
which says that persons in close
touch with British court circles have
heard ominous reports in regard to
the Russian monarch's physical and
mental condition.
Recent events have made the Car
suspicious of everyone, as he no
longer knows upon whom he can de-
pend to protect him from the revo-
lutionists. who are seeking his life.
Under the mental strain to which
he has been subjects his health has
suffered.
Often Nicholas refuses the food
prepared for him, fearing poison may
have been administered in It. He
cannot sleep at night, and has re-
sorted to opiates and drugs of even
more drastic character to induce
sleep, but they have proved ineffec-
tive.
Owing to the discouraging reports
as to the Cars condition. more Gre
dence is being given in British court
circles to reports that he may soon
abdicate his throne, and no action
on his part would cause much sur
prise.
What is regarded as the gravest
event in months, causing widespread
fear in bureaucratic ranks, as well
as among all students in the empire,
was the recent discovery of 16 bombs
in the institute for engineers in St.
Petersburg.
The finding of these bombs is
of the fear which had been enter
tanned for a long time that the ma
iority of students are supporters Of
the revolution, and even the high
schools are nurseries of terrorism.
How difficult it will be to guard
against assassination at the hands Of
students is thoroughly appreciated
by the authorities.
