the fathers consent that she came to
Pasadena. DIR. Star refused to listen to

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Nov. 22.-There

nance of couple well nigh three-score
years old On their wedding night here.
plumber, secretly took as his wife yes

They fairly reveled in the idea that
there was to be no roisterous serenads,
no jest as to love warmed over, no an
noyance of any sort. at just sensible,
quiet wedding, then a journey to New
York, and finally happy home, such as
each of them had in the past been de-
prived of by the hand of death.
To be sure of entire secrecy after the
wedding they repaired to the Hotel Weiss.
where Cantlin quietly introduced his
bride to the proprietor and seemed as
happy as a bridegroom of Il. They spent
the evening so pleasantly at the theater
and then conversing with the hotel land
lord and clerk, Cantlins friends, that it
was 1:SO this morning before they retired,
with request to be called at 10 a. m.
Thus it happened that while relatives
near and dear to both were hunting fo:
them, trying TO arrange a nuptial jollifi-
cation, the bridal pair were sleeping their
lives away. They had retired, turning off
the gas, but turning the stopper too far
so that the gas was turned on again
after going out, and when their room was
broken into at 10 o'clock this morning
Mrs Cantlin was dead and her husband
died soon afterward.

FINDS THAT FEDERAL
POSITIONS ,G0 BEGGING
Postmasters in Western States Com.
PEELED to Pay Out of Their
Pockets to Keep Letter
Carriers

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Federal jobs
are going begging out west, especially
in the mining regions, a state of affairs
due to the undiminished prosperity, ac-
cording to Frank H. Hitchcock, first as
sistant postmaster general, who has just
returned from a trip that extended to the
Pacific coast.
1.-The postal laws should be so amend
ed," said Mr.. Hitchcock, ''as to enable
us to make additional allowances for
clerks and carriers in communities where
unusual conditions exist
Mr.. Hitchcock illustrated this point as
follows:
Edward r. Collins, postmaster at
Goldfield, New, has expended thousands
of dollars in excess of his salary during
the past three years to keep the post
office at that place in commission He
was compelled to do so for the reason
that the allowances made for clerks and
carriers were inadequate. 1t was, there
fore incumbent upon Mr.. Collins to close
up the office or keep 1t running with his
own money. He chose the latter alter
native
Mr. Hitchcock said the GoldfieId case
was not an isolated one in the postal
service out west.
"Other postmasters are patriotically
doing likewise" he added. I'm some
cities it has been found difficult to get
men to serve as postmasters, and in
others we have found it hard to induce
postmasters to remain in the service
owing to the meager allowances. All of
this is explained on the ground that
wages and prices are practically double
those prevailing in the east Accordingly
men have no difficulty in getting posi-
tions, and with the salaries offered, gov
ernment places do not look attractive to
them"
Mr.. Hitchcock declared that some
months ago the letter carriers at Butte
Mont, walked out" complaining that
the compensation paid was barely suffi.
cient for a livelihood.

VENICE, Nov. 22.-The first disap-
pointment to local committees who have

tanning the officers and jaclSies of the
Pacific squadron during their presence
here was made known today in the an
nouncement that Admiral Dayton had
found 1t advisable to decline the invita-
ton to attend a grand ball in his honor

The reason is given by the admiral that
because the squadron will leave Venice
Tuesday night he wishes to be fully pre-
pared when the time comes to depart.
Tie does not appear to think that the
ball would seriously interfere with maxi
ing connections as far as he personally
Is concerned, but he has fears he might

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 22.-With the
coming of darkness last night hope of
finding the body of little Jack Watson,
the 16-months-old son Of Mr. and Mrs.
Watson of Arcadia beach, who, 1t is be-
lieved, was drowned yesterday, was de-
SPARED of.
Even the distracted parents of the child
admitted the improbability of the baby
ever being returned to the beach by the
sea which it is believed so mercilessly
engulfed him.
Searching parties patrolled the shore
all last night and until late today. The
possibility of the child having wandered
off ir still clung to by many persons who
have interested themselves in the child
disappearance.
