4 Romantic Love AFFAIR.

This is the most romantic love AZ
falr that ever came under nv obser-
vation," said Joe" Levy, the duke of
Essex street, after he had married Ida
Schreibman and Morris Muller yester-
day afternoon.
The duke" has for years been face
to face with romance and he has had
romantic career himself. The men,
bers of the Essex Market Bar associa-
ton sought out Levy and demanded
to be informed on all the thrilling
features of the Schreibman-Muller
courtship.
1t was just six months ago that
Ida Schreibman, pretty Jewish girl
not quite 20 years of age, met Morris
Muller" began Levy. THE girl lived
at 236 Henry street, this city, and she
had gone to the Brownsville section
IN Brooklyn to visit her aunt. When
1t came supper time that evening the
aunt sent the girl to buther's shop
on Suffer avenue for lamb chops.
Now Morris Muller was working in
the store when the girl went in, but
he didn't wait on her. Another and
older butcher took Ida's order.
The girl returned to the home of
her aunt with the chops, and when
these were unwrapped the aunt made
great fuss. The chops were stringy
and Ida was sent right back with
them. This time she was approached
by Muller. He unwrapped the chops,
and after one look at them got down
big loin of undetached chops. With
three swings of the cleaver he severed
three of the finest lamb chops that
were ever handed out in Brownsville.
Muller told the girl that in the
future he would see to it that she
got the best in the place if she would
only come to him. Ida did. She visit
ed her aunt often, and always insisted
on doing the meat buying. As the
girls aunt had noticed great i'm
provement in the meat since Ida be-
gan to buy it., she of course made no
objections to Ida's visit to the butcher
shop. The girl told her own people.
100, OF the fine quality of meat in
BROWNSVILLE, and in time she made the
journey to the outskirts of BROOKLYN
several times week.
Yesterday was Muller's day of. He
came to this city and found the girl.
he popped the question and was ac-
cepted. The pair started out in search
OF someone who would marry them and
were directed to my Office. They got
here just ahead of the storm and it
was 80 dark that l had to scurry
around and get lamps to light up the
place. While l was performing the
ceremony the lightning flashes and
thunder claps were so frequent that
the girl got badly frightened and I
suggested that We postpone the we'd
ding until the storm was over.
But that butcher wouldn't listen to
the idea for moment. He wanted to
be married right of, and he was.
While waiting in the Office for the
storm to pass, the pair told me of
their love affair. Now they are going
to pool their money and Muller is
going to open a butcher shop of his
own" --'e
i wonder vot kind of chops he'll
hand ovid now?" put in Rosey the
lawyer, who doesn't care much for
York Sun.

ALLEGED. ATTEMPT.
At MURDER IS
REPORTED
Stranger Tried to Throw Geo.
Shannon Into River Over
DeMers Avenue Bridqe.

One of the boldest attempts at muir
der that has been reported in East
Grand Forks or Grand Forks in years
was that of early this morning.
About midnight George Shannon, a
North Seventh street. while returning
from the east side. was met near the
middle of the DeMers avenue bridge
by stranger who, when he had APP
preached near enough, assaulted him.
shannon Is man of about fifty years
of age and i'll able to care for himself
in an encounter. According to the
story told by Shannon today, the
stranger fought fiercely and attempted
to throw him over into the river.
There was no one astir in the immeli-
ate vicinity when the trouble started
and for five minutes the two struggled
beside the rail. the stranger attempt
ing to pick up his older opponent and
toss him over. That the old man made
good fight there is plenty of evidence.
His hands. where he grasped the rail,
are all marked and bruised and the
small finger, on which he was wearing
ring, was cut through to the bone
At length Shannon's lusty shouts at
tracted men to the scene and his as
sailant, giving the old man parting
kick, ran swiftly to this end of the
bridge and disappeared.
The case is most peculiar one and
some are inclined to doubt Shannon's
story Of the attempt on his life. His
hands, however. bear ample evidence
that he was the victim of an encoun-
ter of some sort.
Just what the motive was back of
the assault does not seem to have been
determined. Shannon is not aware
that he has any enemies who hate
him bad enough to want his life. He
thinks it possible he might have been
mistaken by the stranger for someone

TODAY's EDITION.

Believing that the Great Red River
Valley exposition which will be held
in this city is the most important
agricultural event in the history of the
state, The Evening Times today issues
a special edition in the interests of
that institution.
1t is true that there are other fairs
throughout the state and every one
of them is worthy of the most liberal
patronage, and are most valuable ad-
juncts in the development of our Won
derful resources. But because of
geographical location they are not able
to extend their fields of usefulness like
one located in the leading city of the
state. 1t is for this reason that the
Great Red River Valley exposition is
being made the climax of the many
fairs throughout the state.
Realizing the relations between the
e4pOsltlon and the progress and ad-
vancement of the city and county and
the state at large, this issue of The
Evening Times is dedicated to the
Great Red River Valley exposition. IT
Will have the largest circulation by
far of any edition ever issued in the
state. 1t will be sent to every city,
town and hamlet in the state and will
miss but few of the thousands of
homes of our citizens in every part
Of the commonwealth.

BEER THIEF SHOT.
Man Who Attempts to Get Away With
Bottles Is "Winged."

Special to The Evening Times.
Minot, July 25.-Word was received
in Minot that man was shot at Har-
vey, N. D., Monday night for stealing
several bottles of beer.
According to the story brought in
by passengers On No. 107 of the 500
the man was shot in the leg by a
second person, from whom the first
gentleman was trying to steal several
bottles of beer.
1t is said that the man who did the
shooting escaped, and that one or two
arrests have been made.
The man who fired the shot was
asleep. surrounded by several bottles
OF beer. Seeing the bottles and
thinking that it was a good chance
to get free drink, the man who was
shot approached the sleeping form.
He had no more than turned with
two or three bottles under his arm
than shot rang out and he fell to
the ground wounded in the leg. The
man who shot made his escape. and
the injured man was taken to a house
where he was treated by physician.

TITLE TO ARCTIC LANDS.

The voyage of the Canadian govern
ment cruiser Arctic to the Far North
suggests for consideration the ques-
ton of the ownership of some far
northern lands. For many years ex-
plorers of various nationalities, Brit
ish. American, Scandinavian and 9TH
ers, have ventured into the frozen
wilderness lying between the Do
mfnion of Canada and the North Pole.
and have there discovered lands thith-
erto unknown, and have named them
and planted flags upon them.
There has been much international
rivalry in the work of celebrating the
Arctic map and of pushing on toward
the pole. But there has been little
thought in the minds of the adventur-
ers or in that of the public of the
delimitation of international bound
aries in the realms of paleocrystic ice
and eternal snow.
But now the Canadian government,
brings that thought to mind in the in
ttmation that the Dominion extends
clear to the North Pole, and that all
the lands which have been discovered
and explored in those regions. no
matter by whom, are under the British
dag.
Accidentally, the question is some
what complicated. and might form the
subject of interminable argument
There are those who hold that discoy-
cry and exploration give title to new
lands. while others insist that title is
not perfected without actual occupa-
ton and permanent settlement.
But how If the lands in question are
not ut for or susceptible of settlement?
There is no doubt that Americans
have discovered and explored for the
FIRST time considerable stretches of
Arctic territory. The names on the
map indicate the fact-Grant Land,
0rinnell Land. Arthur Land, United
States Mountains. Hayes Peninsula,
Hasen Land, Hall Land, Cape Wash
lneton and many more.
There is no disputing the fact that
title to these lands was acquired by

FIGHTING COCKS IN DEMAND.
Many Sent From England to Cane Col.
Ony-Spurs for Export.

The export of fighting cocks to the
Colonies has been on the increase saws
the London Daily Mail. Almost every
liner that sails from Southampton
for Cape Colony carries consien-
ment OF these feathered gladiators.
Cock fighting is not only permitted
by law in Cape Colony, but It has be-
come almost national pastime, and
exhibitions Of fighting cocks are as
well established there as dog shows
IN this country. A large number of
OF British fighting cocks are also sent
TO the west coast states of America.
Nor has cock fighting become ex-
tinct IN this country, though forbidden
by law. In the Black Country, around

by the brawny puddlers on a Sunday

they are intended for export, and are
not easily obtainable for home fights.
There still lives in North Warwick

voted to the breeding of fighting

the United States, so far as it could be
acquired by discovery and explora-
ton. If this country did not further
confirm that title by actual colonial
ton. why, neither has any other
country done so. and We do not expect
any other will do so, for obvious and
convincing reasons. Denmark has
colonies on the southern part of
Greenland, but not up where Peary is
working. Great Britain does not APP
pear to have planted any colonies
north of Bafin Land.
Practically. We do not suppose there
will ever be any serious controversy
over the matter. The regions north
of Baffin Land are not susceptible of
colonization, and it does not appear
that there are any natural resources
there capable of profitable explora-
ton, unless in the fisheries and fur
hunting. These, it is to be assumed,
no country will attempt to monopolize
1t may be that there should be some
regulation of those industries, as of
the seal fisheries in Behring Sea, but
that can probably be effected through
internal agreement.
Probably. too, it is desirable that
the welfare of the Esquimaux tribes
should be safeguarded, but that, too,
can be effected without serious trou-
BILE. The shores of Hudson Bay are
doubtless all Canadian. and so are
Bafin Land, Prince Albert Land and
other regions included in the PROVING.
of Franklin. But the more remote
lands and waters beyond Jones Sound
which have been discovered and ex-
plored by Americans, Scandinavians
and others, If they are not actually
partitioned up among their discover.
ers, will doubtless remain open to the
equal exploration of all, a sort of in.
ternational domain.
If specific title should be taken tc
any of them it would doubtless be
taken by the nation under whose flae
they were discovered and explored.

began to make himself manifest by
proceeding to the Salvation Army hall
on DeMers avenue where he broke a
window light and made himself gen.

and indecency.
He told the court that he was look

Asbury Park, July 25.-Among the
recent entries for Asbury Parks baby

four-year-old youngster who has the
unique distinction of being the only

mus Weisgerber. He was born in the
American Flag House on April IA, 1902
and christened in Christ Church. He
is pleasant, sturdy little fellow, fond

The boys surname vexildumous is
composed of two Italian words mean

gerber originated the name for his son.
The father is the New York artist who
conceived the idea of preserving the
Flag House as national possession.
He painted large picture. showing
