The latest fraeak of nature to be

WEDDING BELLS FOR
GRITTY YOUNG MAN
Worked Into Good Salary
To Get Girl.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov 2.-(SpeciaD
A pretty romance of the poor young
man, the beautiful heiress, of paren-
tial objection and final triumph for
Cupid over all difficulties, will have
its elimination in st. Pauls Church
Monday evening when II. A. Bogar-
dus leads to the altar Miss Marion
Lavery, after five years of most ar
dent courtship.
The bride-to-be is prominent in Chi
cago society and the daughter of
wealthy parents. At the beginning of
the romance five years ago Mr.. Bo-
gardus was a bank clerk with a
salary scarcely large enough for two.
There wasn't much that could be urg-
ed against the young man except
his small salary, but this appeared
to be an insurmountable obstacle in
the eyes of the stern parent in the
romance.
The young man saw that if he re-
NAMED in the bank and progressed
at the rate he was then advancing he
would be gray-haired before he could
reach the income which the young
lady's father was likely to consider
sufficient Without hesitation he
threw up his place in the bank and
and accepted a job with a manufac-
turing concern at a smaller salary
even than that he had been receiving.
But he figured that the new place
offered more chance for advancement,
and subsequent events showed that
he figured correctly, for in four
years time he became manager of
the concern.
The fact that he made good" cou-
pied with the steady devotion of the
young pair, soon overcame the paren-
tial objection. The wedding takes
place in the church where the two
first became acquainted five years
ago, when Mr.. Bogardus was librar-
ian in the church and Miss Lavery a
teacher in one of the Sunday school
classes.

ONLY POORER GRADES
BEEF WILL BE CHEAPER
Cattle RaiSerS Did Not Care
to Fatten.

NEW YORK, Nov 2.-(SpeciaD-
Following the reduction in the price
of fresh meats announced in the west,
especially in Omaha by the Cudahy
Company, there has come a similar
reduction in the price of ordinary
grades of meat in this city, but,
against this it was intimated yesterday
that there may be an increase in the
price of the higher grades of meats.
e. Sulzberger, President of the
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Com
pany, said that the lower scale of
prices for ordinary, or the lower
grades of meats, has already become
effective in this city, with no likeli-
hood of there being an increase in
the near future unless the supply,
which is being pressed steadily on the
markets for sale, shows a sudden fall
ing off.
There has, however, been a de-
crease in the price of the lower grades
of beef, and, of course, the poorer
people will get the benefit of this, as
they have been doing for several
days. said Mr. Sufzberger.
For one thing the cattle growers
are not sending the prime beef cat
tie to the market and consequently the
supply is not equal to the demand.
In fact, think it can be said that the
supply of the high-grade beef does not
nearly meet the demand and as a
natural consequence the people who
desire this meat are willing to pay a
higher price for it because they can
afford it and want the best"
why should the lower grades of
meat be cheaper?"
Il should say that it is because cat
tie from which this meat is taken
are coming into the market in great
er abundance and in consequence the
supply is greater than the demand.
Other meats are effected in about the
same way. The better grades remain
firm, while the ordinary, or what
might be termed common grades, are
off. | am unwilling to predict, although
l am rather of the opinion, that the
lower grades will continue to sell at
the lower prices for some time to
come"
The cattle growers concluded that
it would be well not to carry over
as many cattle for fattening purposes
to be sold during the winter and ear
ly spring months. They concluded
