address at Richmond Sunday after

pieces of the Young Mems Christian

trusts and corporations. In am inter
view later he said that sectional lines

Rovcrofters Present

Roycrofters Present.
Special Dispatch to The Star
BUFFALO, N. Y, July 1s.-Justice of
the Peace Daniel NJ. Emerson OF East Au-
rora revealed the facts In a romance and
marriage which quite surpass anything ro-
mantle in western New York. and 1t was
the first wedding in the quaint little Roy
croft chapel where Ebert Hubbard, other
wise known as Fra Elbertus, holds forth
Eleven o'clock in the morning was the
appointed hour Two hundred Roycrofters
and villagers were present. The contracting
parties were Miss Catherine G. Raymond
of Frankfort. KY, and DR.. James Truman
Eslin. practicing physician Of Washing
ton. D. c.
The ceremony was brief and similar to
that Of justices in country towns where
they are called upon to administer such
duties.
It was the intention of the bride and
bridegroom to keep the matter quiet until
after the ceremony. Lyman Chandler, who
is one Of the classic and shining lights OF
the Roycroft establishment. was acquaint-
ed with the couple. He had heard that a
love affair had grown out Of the acquaint-
ance. was to him the lovers went for
counsel.
They told him they were in love and
wished to be married at the Roycroft He
directed them to Mr.. Emerson's home. To
the village justice they journeyed Tuesday
night A few days ago DR.. James T. Eslin
arrived at the Roycroft Inn.
He attended the convention Of the
Philistines and decided to remain for a
while in East Aurora to enjoy the quiet
restfulness of the place. About the same
time Miss Raymond arrived from Frank
fort, KY. 1t was only a day or two after
they were introduced the love affair began,
stages by the Roycrofters with much in

WAR ON CATALOGUE HOUSES.
soc, 900 Western Retail Merchants
Plan a Gigantic Movement.

CHICAGO. July 1a-war has been de-
ciared on the great catalogue houses OF
Chicago and other cities by the 1000 re-
tail merchants of the west. One Of the
most striking movements this country ever
has known, the small dealers are fighting,
as they say, for their lives. The mammoth
institutions. employing thousands of work.
ers, doing their business entirely through
the medium of their bulky catalogues.
whence they derive annually millions OF
dollars Of patronage, are forcing increasing
numbers of home merchants to the wall,
and so, their opponents claim. are making
commercial graveyards of once prosperous
towns"
The Home Trade League OF America,
which has existed for several months In
Chicago. largely as publicity bureau. is
shortly to incorporate and institute a more
against the catalogue houses through a
board Of twenty-one managers, with a vice
president and an advisory committee from
ten states.
The backbone of the organization is
formed of commercial associations, ma
tioaal. state and local In character, in ILL.,
nois. Wisconsin. Iowa, Michigan, KANSAS
and Minnesota. The officers of associations
in scores OF cities are in constant CORE
spondence with the league. which will con-
tinue to have its national headquarters In
this city. officers of the league will be Sc
lected from the most aggressive OF the
leaders of these associations Of business
men.
Alfred Clark is manager of the league.

Snakes in the Potomac,
To the Editor Of The Star

TO the Editor OF The Star:
Apropos Of the account given in your
paper of the 18th instant under the head
ing Bitten by Snake" I would like to
state that it is extremely improbable that
any venomous serpent could be found In the
Potomac at Marshall Hall or elsewhere.
The only venOmous snake which could DOS
sibly reach this river is the true water moe
casin (Agkistrodon piscivorus) but the
northern limit of its distribution Is about
the North Carolina line. This Is, indeed. a
dangerous reptile. and in case Of its bite
the treatment given by the reverend gentle
man would be entirely justifable
To me 1t seems highly probable that the
which. though capable of inhicting rather
severe bites. Is non-venomous serpent
Unfortunately this snake is commonly
known In this locality as the water mecca
SIM and there is. In fact, a slight resem-
blance between adults of the two kinds,
though very decided difference on even
superficial examination. The true mecca
sin belonging to the pit vipers," has bot
poison fange and pit between the nostriI
and the eye. while the water snake has
neither.
While 1t cannot be expected that every one
should have knowledge of our common
serpents and their distribution, it should
certainly form q part of the education of
every physician, and the recognition OF the
venomous and non-venomous kinds should
be taught In our common schools. Such
knowledge as a boy could acquire in an
hour or two would save much mental and
sometimes physical suffering. as in the
prevent the indiscriminate slaughter of
thousands of harmless serpents. some Of
which are unQuestionably beneficial to the
human race. 1. w. BLACKBURN. M. D.

THE IRON INDUSTRY.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

CLEVELAND, Ohio July l8.-The Iron
Trade Review today says: The most impor-
tant transaction in shapes and plates was
the sale Of about 10000 tons to Chicago and
1900 tons Of fabricated steel to the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, making
10000 tons taken by Hill roads this sum-
mer. Inquiries for considerable tonnage
Of structural steel for barges and packet
steamers are pending at Chicago. and many
small orders of structural steel have been
placed throughout the country. Deliver
les are not being so promptly made.
Sales Of bar iron are limited, and some
western mills are showing indica lions OF
anxiety concerning orders. Specifications
against steel bar contracts are heavy and
new business Is satisfactory. An order for
800 steel cars has been practically closed
by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad Company and other railroad in
quiries are pending. Delivery OF plates IL
more prompt, and independent interests
which few weeks ago were getting pre-
mfums Of So per ton are now receiving
only 81. Orders Of rails and track material
are limited, and some cutting of prices on
nuts and bolts Is reported.
Owing to the extremely hot weather the
supply Of labor in the coke regions has been
inadequate and production has been re-
duced. The demand for coke Is very slack
and prices are firm. Old material is dull
and prices are receding In nearly all mar
kets.
