AGE MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
Bow Tilted Girl to Wed Her
Mamma


Grover Cleveland White, a Somerville,
(Mass) boy of eighteen, Saturday night
married Mrs Caroline Christine Swanson.
forty-two years old, mother of his former
sweetheart, Miss Juniette Swanson, who is
seventeen. The bride has two sons older
than her new husband. Young White broke
of with Juniette about a month ago and
few days later begun counting her mother.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. Fred
erick S. Body, pastor of the East Soner-
vile Baptist Church. at the parsonage.
There was no bridesmaid nor best man,
and no reception after the ceremony. The
couple left at once on a honeymoon trip.
Later" said the bridegroom before
starting, I'VE will establish new home
by ourselves. My brides children were
bitterly opposed to the marriage. and, with
the exception OF the youngest, Lillian, nj.
teen years old, l guess We will let them
shift for themselves. If Lillian wants to
come with us she can.
When White went out for the marriage
license last Thursday, he was accompanied
by Mrs Swanson and his father. the latter
going along in obedience to the law to
give his consent
Concerning his two wooings White said:
Last December became acquainted with
my wife's daughter, Juniette. Finally I
discovered that her disposition was not just
what like. About month ago she gave
me a severe scolding. which l considered
undeseryed. Her mother viewed the matter
In the same way I did. We had conf
Dental chat. and Mrs. Swanson surprised
me by saying she had thought great deal
of me from the first time called to see
Juniette- Aft 81 a few days we decided that
we loved each other. and also agreed to
get married as soon as possible. Although
forty-two years old. my wife doesn't look
to be more than twenty-five. She knows
how TO cook. wash, iron. mend clothes and
keep house. and that's more than a ma
torify OF the young girls Of the present day
know"

FOUND ON ALASKAN COAST.
Immense Quantities Of Trepang, Mucl
Priced by the Orientals.

- Alaska is always turning up something
new In the way of sensation. II 1t is
not new glacier or volcanic outbreak
or a fresh gold strike. 1t Is sure to be
something else that ought to make the
Russian government sorry she ever sold
the territory to US. And now the latest
report comes by letter from Consular Agent
King Of Hakadote. Japan. who says jap
anese have returned there bringing quanti-
ties or trepang, or beche de mere, small
prickly covered sea fish about three inches
long that is worth 40 cents a pound de-
livered dried in Shanghai Mr.. King says
that the Japanese say that the shores Of
Whale bay and Baranon Island are COW
cred with the trepang. and the Japanese
have been fnquiring to the American
regulations to permit them to fish for them.
It seems that the value of the find is totally
unknown in Alaska, but that. from the
oriental viewpoint, 1t Is quite small-sized
gold mine.
The method Of preparation for the Chi
nese market Is very simple. The trepang
are simply boiled for about fifteen minutes,
and at the end Of that time are drained,
pressed and dried. Mr.. King says that II
they exist In the quantities described by
the Japanese there is no reason why a
large and lucrative trade in them should
not be built UP.

The propelltng power Of the new vessel
Will be furnished by two triple expansion
engines OF the vertical, inverted cylinder,
direct acting type. each having one high
pressure cylinder eight inches in diameter,
one medtum-pressure cylinder thirteen and
one-fourth inches and one low-pressure
cylinder Of twenty-five inches, the stroke
OF all the pistons being eighteen inches.
These engines will develop about COO horse
power. and will make 20 revolutions per
minute. Steam will be furnished by one
water tube boiler designed for a steam
pressure of 200 pounds to the square inch
The vessel will also be fitted with the usual
auxiliary. donkey boiler and pumps, and
will be complete In her equipment.
It IL expected the new vessel will be
launched some time In the early fall. and
will be ready for service some time during

ously been assistant professor OF phys
| les in theoretical physics in the Shelf
| field Scientific school, and whose dis
| eoveries in theoretical physics have all
ready given him ali international repu-
tation
Since the death of Professor Hubert
A. Newton we have had no teacher who
represented the lines of thought and
discovery with which he was specially
lidentified.We are now fortunate in hav-
ing secured the services of Professor
Ernest William Brown, of Haverford,
one Of the most distinguished gradu-
ates of the English university of Gam
bridge, whose services in the applica-
ton of mathematics to astronomy are
probably unequalled in his generation.
Professor Brown will enter upon his
duties here in tie autumn Of 1902.
In the autumn of 1905 DR.. Franz Boas
of Columbia called the attention o fthe
Yale authorities to the fact that the
| courses offered by the two institutions
in foreign languages, foreign geogra-
ply and foreign politics in large meas
ure supplemented one another. Meth
er institution alone was able to offer a
course in preparation for consular or
commercial service which approx
mately equalled those offered in France
or Germany. The two institutions in
| cooperation could make far better
showing; and if cooperation was begun
at this stage it would be possible to
avoid almost all duplication and to
work in efficient harmony.
In pursuance of this view a commit
tee was appointed, consisting of DR..
Boas and Professor Munroe Smith of
Columbia and Dean Phillips and Pro-
fessor Emery Of YALE to arrange for a
| joint announcement of courses. On the
whole, Columbia does the larger share
of the work on the linguistic side, and
| Yale on the economic side. A course
| has been arranged and announced
which can be pursued at the two insti-
tutions. On the successful completion
of such course a certificate will be is
sued by both universities Jointly. The
holder Of such certificate can, if he
/ desires, take at the university where he
| has done the major part of his work
the degree of Master Of Arts or of Doc
tor of Philosophy, in case the quantity
and quality of his studies have been
such as to meet the requirements.
Although several gifts Of Importance
have been made to the General Endow-
Iment Fund, work on this fund on the
whole has been somewhat relaxed,
pending the attempt on the part of the
trustees of the Hillhouse estate to find
a donor who would present this estate
to the university free of financial bur
den. The Alumni University Fund has
had the most prosperous year In its
history. 1t is at this moment inpossi-
BILE to state the exact amount of the
gifts; but the record of $4,000 made
last year is sure to be greatly sur
passed In gifts for specific purposes
