DUKE AND HIS 'FlANCEE
ARRIVE IN NEW YORK.
Report That Couple Will Be Married
Very Soon-Divorced Wife Says
She Is Reconciled.

NEW YORK, July 16.-James B. Duke,
the tobacco millionaire, and his fancee,
Mrs. William Inman, of Atlanta. Ca, ar
rived here this morning from the Duke
country seat at SomervilleAN j., in a big
automobile.
Mrs. Duke brought her little boy with
her. household servants following In a
second car, and the impression gained
ground that the couple would be married
at once, and would probably sail on the
Carmania, on which Mr.. Dukes brother,
Benjamin N. Duke and his wife are booked.
The passenger list of the Carmania, how
ever, did not contain the name of James
B.. Duke, aud the indications now are that
the couple will take a later steamer.
Added interest has been given to The
marriage by the sudden change of front
on the part of the former Mrs. Duke, who
announced this morning that she was
perfectly reconclled to the marriage and
had no i'll feeling whatever toward her
former husband. 1t is limited that some
thing like half a million dollars has tended
to lessen the antagonism of the former
Mrs. Duke.

coins famous Gettysburg address, pre-
scented to the city by the Grand Army of

from the wall of the corridor atfthe right
of the main entrance to the City Hall to
the wall Of the corridor on the left of
the entrance. One place is as good as the
other. so far as light Is concerned. The
tablet should be under the rotunda
near the bronze bust Of Lincoln, If 1t could
be put there. Where the tablet was a
floor plan and directory of the City Hall
will be placed, something that Is very
much of a necessity.
Metal guards have been placed at the
top of the rails of the stairways in the
City Hall overlooking the light shafts
The guards are on the rails opposite the
sharp turns In each stairway TO save per-
sons who might trip at a turn from fall
ing over the rail. Some officials think 1t
might be well II the metal screen guards
were continued down to the end Of each
rail, for the rails are low.
