On April 2 three Mayors were inaugurated

On April 2 three Mayors were lnauRurated
within the political zone Of the proposed
Greater P%ittsburg,' GUTHRIE in Pittsburg,
K1RscHLER in Allegheny City and COLEMAN
in Mckeesport. The consolidation OF these
three cities, intimately correlated in the
growth Of manufacturing and
financial Interests. and all three ~geographi-
cally. connected, would make Pittsburg a
city Of more than half a million inhabitants.
Pittsburg had by the last Federal census
$40, 900 inhabitants, Allegheny City had
100, 900 and Mckeesport IS 900. The popu-
lation Of the projected Greater Pittsburg
would certainly reach 500 900, making it
the seventh POSSIBLY the SIXTH In popula-
ton among American cities.
The consolidation Of P%ittsburg, Allegheny
City and McKeesport as proposed, and in
fact authorized, will probably mark a
suspension, for many years at least, Of the
enlargement of the boundaries Of other
large American citiee by the annexation Of
tributary urban territory. New York, OF
course, is barred by the hudson River, the
boundary between New York and New
Jersey. There is no large city in the vicinity
OF Chicago within the zone of annexation;
Philadelphia is separated from popular
Camden by the State line. st. Louis is on
the Missouri side Of the Mississippi; its
suburb cities are In Illinois. Boston has
been already enlarged by annexation Of all
neighboring city divisions; Baltimore and
Cleveland are isolated from other large
neighboring cities; Cincinnati is divided
from C~ovington and Newport by the Ohio
1.-THE Kentucky boundary. New Orleans
is far distant from any other large city;
Detroit is near the Canada border; Mil
waukee has no ~neighboring large city in
Wisconsin: and Washington, D. c., which
has already annexed Georgetown, is now
ooextensive with the District Of Columbia.
San Francisco, with $4,000 inhabitants,
would by the annexation Of Oakland; with
rs 1000, add to its population, but not to it's
importance as the chief city on the Pacific
Coast, a position which 1t now holds I'M
challenged.
If the limit of growth by annexation has
for a time been attained, the expansion of
American cities by normal increase in popu-
lation goes forward as never before.

The Resignation of President Castro.

The Resignation OF President Castro.
When President CASTRO resigned in
March, 1903, he was up to his neck in
trouble with the European debt dis
trainers; but in a day or two he was
sending a message to Congress in which
he said: Congress does not accept my
resignation and insists that / continue. =
Two months before, when there were
'rumors that he was about to retire, he
said to one Of the correspondents at
Caracas: you are at liberty to say
that ! have fought during two years, and
] shall retain the supreme power in
vested in me by the people of Venezuela.

MATos, RoLANDo, VIDAL and other rev.

before the nervous little man, whose
boast 1t was; Il am the man Of destiny
in this part Of the world"
When the Pope was informed Of the
resignation OF President CASTRO in 1908
he exclaimed: Let us pray COB that
this may end the tribulations Of our be-
loved children in Venezuela" The in

GOVERNMENT.

The local rostofiice force is having
good laugh at the expense of Supt.
of Carriers Fred b. Ashton. who has
just unwittinglY made a contribution
to the government in the shape of a
gold dollar.
Supt. Ashton had two one dollar
gold pieces which he had kept as SOU
venirs for several years. Gold dol
lars are no. as plentiful as they once
were. and are mol to be picked up
every day. hence Supt. Ashton held
on TO them year after year, until a
few days ago he decided that they
were becoming worn. and he had
best dispose of them. He knew a
banker who is always willing to take
gold dollars at premium, and read
lily disposed of one of them. The
banker rejected the other coin, how
ever. saying 1t was In too bad a con-
dition to warrant his purchase of It..
Supt. Ashton then neatly bundled 1t
up and sent II to the treasury depart
ment at Washington to be redeemed
in new money.
In due course of time he received
an official looking document from
the treasury officials, notifying him
that the supposed gold dollar he had
sent in for redemption was coun-
terfeit, and had been turned over TO
the secret service department, which
would communicate with him.
A day or two later Supt. Ashton
received a letter from the secret SER
vice Office acknowledging the receipt
of the counterfeit gold" dollar. and

Aged Mans Bride Vanishes With
$1,000.

Quincy, H., Jan. 25.-Stephen p.
Laffey, retired and well-to-do farm
err living at West Point, ILL.,, and a
widower who has passed the age of
three-score and ten, made overtures
for marriage with Leila Lemon, of
this city, who formerly lived at West
Point. His proposition was accept
ed, and the terms of an ante nuptial
contract duly signed. by which the
bride was to receive $1,000 cash and
to waive all rights to his estate,
should she become a widow. He
gave her draft for the $1,000 and
the couple were married by Judge
McCrory.
Following the marriage the groom
asked for a kiss, but the bride urged
that this matter should be postponed.
She then had her draft cashed and
advised the groom to stay at hotel
during the night, and come and have
breakfast with her this morning.
The groom was up bright and early,
but when he called to take breakfast
with his wife he found that she had
packed her belongings during the
night and disappeared with the ST.
900 and the written agreement.

Woman Can Wed Woman.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 25.-Paul-
inc Webster, the woman who, under
the name of John Whitman, "mar-
ried" Miss Eta Jelly, of Sheffield,
will escape any serious punishment
for her act. There does not seem to
be a law under which she can be
charged with any offense worse than
the misdemeaaor of dressing in
mans clothing.
B.. Miss. Webster. did moi commit per-
jury in getting the marriage IL
cense. The oath made in obtaining
marriage license is as follows:
II do hereby solemniy swear that |
am of the age of blank years, that
we are both single and unmarried,
not first cousins, and that we may
lawfully contract and be Joined in
marriage"
AS there is no law against a wo-
mans marrying a woman, it cannot
be unlawful to contract that relation
