The Marriage Knot

A good deal Is heard of the marriage
knot" but very few of us realize TINT
the knot was ever anything more than
figure OF speech. Among the Baby
lonians tying the knot was part OF the
marriage ceremony. says Home Chat.
The priest took a thread from the gnr-
mcnt OF the bride and another from
that of the bridegroom and tied them
into knot. which he gave 10 the bride.

the union which now existed between
herself and her husband.

call loaned at 36 per cent. early to-
day. Estimates of the weeks move
ment indicated cash loss by the
banks of between eight and nine mil
lion dollars without allowing for the
carrying over of the effect of the last
weeks losses by the average system
of computation. AS last weeks sur
plus of the banks stood at less than
100000 and rs the stock market
has reflected no important liquidation
during the week, the supposition that
tpmorrow's bank statement would
show deficit, did not seem strange
and was generally current in the fl.
Ilancial district In the early part Of
the day. Notwithstanding this condi-
tion stocks offered stubborn resist
ance to pressure for time, and then
turned upwards to good net gains,
while the money rate ran off to 9 per
cent. with an indication of the urgent
demand being entirely satisfied.
There was very active discussion
OF abuses connected with the excess
sive rates for money on call at the
stock exchange and Of possible meas
ures to remedy them.
The abrupt decline In rates .a:e In
the day gave point to some of the
charges. 1t was evident when the
rate declined. Professional operators
also made much of the fact that the
stocks bought at the stock exchange
do not call for payment until Monday
Some of the buying was evidently due
to this condition and based upon as
sumption that relief would come to
the money market by treasury action
before payment became due on Mon
day

BARONESS SUICIDES,
Takes Her Life at the Headquarters of
 Her Son.

Leavenworth Kan, March 1S.-Caro- line Von Dem Bussche, said to be the divorced wife of Baron Won Dem Bussche- e-Haddenhausen, of Berlin, to- day committed suicide by shooting at the quarters of her son, Second Lieu tenant Carl Frederick Won Dem Bussche, of the Eighteenth infantry, u. S. A., at Fort Leavenworth, Lieuten- ant Von Dem Bussche is a cousin of Freiherr Won Dem Bussche-H -Hadden- hausen, first secretary of the German embassy at Washington.
 No cause, except possibly mefan- cholia, is known for the suicide. Off, cers at the fort decline to make known any details regarding the case.
 Mrs. Won Dem Bussche fired bullet into her head in her room adjoining her sons private room. She had lived with him for some time. She is said to have been treated last summer for nervous disease at Denver where she formerly lived.
 Baron Won Dem Bussche and his wife came to the United States from Prus- sia. He was mining engineer and TOT many years lived at Denver, where the son was born.
 The son in 1898 enlisted in the Sixth infantry, and in 1901 was commissioned second lieutenant. Three years ago Lieutenant Won Dem Bussche was or dered to the Philippines with his regi- ment, and his mother accompanied him, When he returned to Fort Leavenworth, something over a year ago, she follow ed him, and since then had lived with the young officer at the officers quar- ters at the fort. Six months ago her husband visited her, but soon left, and 1t was said she returned to Berlin, where he now lives. Later 1t became known that the pair had been divorced. Mrs. Won Dem Bussche was forty-six years old.

MOROCCAN PROBLEM
 IS STILL UNSOLVED
SPECIAL MEETING OF FRENCH GARNET DISCUSSES THE
 MATTER.

Announcement That Government win
 Not Participate in the Debate on
 Foreign Affairs Regarded as Some-
 what Unhopeful Sign--Hopes, How
 ever, StiII Undimished That Dele-
 gates Will Find a Solution of the
 Difficulties
 Paris, March 1S.There was special meeting of the cabinet ministers to- day in connection with the Algeciras conference at whicD the situation was fully gone over, Foreign Minister Bour- geois explaining the exact standpoints of France and Germany. Although no statement has been given out relative to Frances future line of action, an announcement of M. Bourgeois that the ministry will not participate in the debate on the foreign affairs budget Tuesday is regarded as a somewhat un- hopeful sign This decision, coming aft CT conference Saturday evening be- tween the foreign minister and Prince von Radolin, the German ambassador to France, is considered to show that the Moroccan knot has not yet been un- tied and that the end of the conference is not in sight; but hopes are still un- diminished that the delegates will find a solution of the difficulties.
 The position of M. Bourgeois is rem dered more difficult owing to the un- compromising attitude of the principal journals which oppose concessions, The Temps takes the lead in this re- spect saying that France has reached her utmost limit relative to both the police and bank questions, and this view has the support of very infuen- tlal body of opinion. Therefore, M. Bourgeois hesitates to show signs of willingness to compromise the matter by a give-and-take method, as he knows any further yielding to the Ger man claims will render the ministry unpopular to the last degree.

OPTIMISM 1T ALGECIRAS.
Neutral Delegates Conferring Separate
 ly With French and German.

Algeciras, Spain, March 1S.-The gen. eral disposition of the delegates to the conference oh Moroccan reforms con- tinues inclined toward optimism, but no further apparent move has been made in the direction of a solution of the points at issue between France and Germany. The delegates of the neutral powers confer separately with tsae French and German delegates several times daily, striving to modify the out wardly uncompromising stand taken by both sides. It is the general belief, however, that the present situation of irdecision will not change, until further instructions arrive from Paris and Der lin.F
 Meanwhile the French and German delegates do not discuss the situation together Each side is vainly awaiting the sign of a concession from the other and maintaining its respective stand point The neutral delegates do not be- lieve the deadlock will last much long CT and express the conviction that neither France nor Germany will allow the conference to fail after such pro- digious efforts have been made by all the powers represented to have them reach an equitable understanding.

PROTESTS AGAINST
 INSURANCE PROXIES
UNTERMTER oBJECTS TO oFFr- CER@ METHODS FOR CON-

Letter to President Orr of New York
 Life on Behalf of International PoI-
 tcyholders' Committee Declares No
 Election Should be Held Until Legis-
 lation is Passed--CIaims Officers Are
 Using Company's Agents to Solicit
 Proxies to Re-elect Board of Directors
 -Company's Money Being Wasted fin
 Sending Out Circulars to Policy-
 holders.
 New York, March 1s.-Samuel Unter- myer, counsel for the international pol- lcyholders' committee of the New York Llte Insurance company, to-day sent N letter to Alexander E. Orr, president of the New York Life, protesting, in the name of the policyholders, against what he terms the extraordinary effort that is being made by the officers of tha company to obtain proxies for the an- nual election, which is to be held earlv in April.
 MT. Untermyer's letter explains the objection of the committee and declares that no election should be held until legislation affecting the insurance busi- ness is passed.
 Addressing MT. Orr, MT. unteunver says that, as the representative of ,n- wards of 5OOOo policyholders in the company, he has been instructed to protest in their behalf against the ex- traordinary use thatis being made bv you and your officers of the agency force of the company, who are being pressed into the service of soliciting proxies for the reelection of yotlrself and associates as directors, at enormous expense to the policyholders.'
 T am informed, the letter continues. that within the past few days VOL sent out from your head office to your entire agency force throughout the country, telegrams urging them to col- feet proxies. I have before me one of number of printed letters and circ,i. lars issued from your head office. signed by the cashier of your company. with an accompanying form of proxy. ad- dressed to policyholders enclosing A biography of each of the directors And officers whom you seek to re-electI in- cluding yourself. This proxy is to John Clafin, Oscar s. Straus and Clarence H. Mackay, of whom biographies are also enclosed, printed at the expense of the policyholders.
 IT these documents have been sent to every policyholder the cost to the company of postage alone would fsts sts about thirty thousand dollars, and the cost of printing the stationery as nucs moremore. How you justify such ex- penditures (to say nothing of the man. Hest impropriety of such action at this juncture) fail to understand.
 These documents are coming to us in great numbers from infuriated pol- Iicyholders, with the request that our committee take some action to prevent your thus wasting the money of the policyholders in the attempt to return yourself to office.'

MAMMOTH sNOWSLTDE.
Many Buildings Destroyed in Colorado
 Camp-Losa s4oO,Ooo.

Quray, Col, March 1S.--A mammoth snowslide in the Mount Snoffels region, six miles south of Quray, last night, wrecked the Camp Bird mine mill tramp house, boarding house and read ing room. William Greasy was killed and 1t is feared that other lives were lost A number of men, it is reported, were seriously injured. The property loss is $400,000.
 The Camp Bird bunk house, contain ing 200 men and the residence of Gen. eral Manager Cox, barely escaped de- struction. The slide had largely spent It's force before reaching the assay shops and general offices of the Camp Bird mine. This avalanche moves an- nually, but 1t was larger this year than usual.
 A telephone bessage from Silverton to-day said that a report has been re- ceived that scores of miners were killed by the destruction of the Camp Bird boarding house, but this report is dis credited.
