Has Queer IDEAS About Marriage.

Delaware, o., Sept l2.-News
reached here Wednesday that George
+. Wells, who was nearly lynched
last Sunday at Colorado Springs, Col,
as result of his advertising for a
black wife, is resident of this city
who Is spending several months in
the west, and a brother of Deputy
Sheriff Wells, OF this county. Wells
is sincere in his motive for advertis-
ing for a black wife. He believes that
the physical condition of the human
race has vastly deteriorated through
lack of intermarriage between races
and unless miscegeIdt'on is univers-
ally accepted and praC ticed the end
of man and woman is practically in
sight. Wells is a leader in the Faith

RECORDS
Big Steamship Lusitania is
Making Very Fast
Time.

New York, Sept 12.-rhe great
turbine steamer Lusitania, of the
Cunard line, is racing along at a
25-knot clip ON the final stretch Of
her maiden voyage to New York
and wireless dispatches from Cape
Race, N. F., early indicate that she
probably will arrive here some time
between midnight and . o'clock
Friday morning, breaking all trans
Atlantic ocean records.
"A wireless from the Lusitania,
timed noon, Wednesday, sent via
Cape Race, says:
"Since Tuesday noon, the run has
been $40 miles. We now have sun
shine and smooth sea. The passen-
gers are eager that the Lusitania
may beat the record days run Of the
Deutschland, which is 6O1 miles.
There is prospect of doing so to-
morrow. Great excitement prevails.
The engines are working perfectly,
but the staff is not yet quite part
of the machine. The smoothness of
the sailing is so marvellous that one
might almost play billiards in some
compartments. The doctor says the
motion of the ship prevents seasick-
mess There have been only 90 cases
of sea sickness and these have been
of very mild type"
Another wireless from the Lusitania
says her run till noon on Tuesday
was 575 miles and that she was then
about l2O miles ahead of Lucania
There had been intermittent fog and
adverse northwest winds had kept
the Lusitanias speed down.
