Would Abolish Duty on Lumber.

George S. Gardiner, of Laurel, ono
Of the foremost lumber manufacturers
of Mississippi has issued an emphetic
denial Of the frequent charges, allega-
tions and insinuations to the effect that
a lumber trust exists in this State and
elsewhere among the yellow pine manu-
facturers of the South.
''The manufacturers OF lumber, says
Mr. Gardiner, know that there has
never been any such thing as a lumber
trust or the control Of prices by com
binations between producers Of lumber,
and that at the present time the pro-
tective tariff has no appreciable innu-
ence on the price Of lumber, except,
perhaps, in limited territory near the
Canadian border
1T occurs to me that the easiest way
TO correct the wrong impression which
SO largely prevails in the minds Of the
public is for the lunbermen of the
South to advocate abolishing the duty
on lumber. Ii seems TO me that con-
siderable reduction in the tariff on all
commodities should be made by con-
gress, as soon as possible, and / believe
that many who are engaged in the yell
low pine manufacturing industry will
be glad to ask congress to abolish the
duty on other commodities.

A PICTURESQUE WEDDING.

Bar Harbor, Me.-Miss Eva Court
landt Palmer Of New York was married
this morning at Brookenden, the home
OF the brides mother, Mrs. Robert
Abbe, to hngeli Sikeianas, a Greek,
who has won prominence in his country
as a poet
The wedding was made picturesque
by the costume of the bride, who,
though an American girl, wore classic
Greek tunic OF purple and white and
ieweled sandals beneath bare feet, while
her hair, which reaches to the floor,
was loosely braided and crowned with
a Greek fillet. This is the costume she
has adopted for permanent use, believ-
ing it to be the most healthful.
Miss Palmer, who is the daughter OF
the late CourtlandC Palmer of New
York, has spent little time in that city
since her coming away ten years ago.
For two years she has been in Greece,
where admiration for the poetry of
Sikelianas led her to romance. The

RESTAURANTS FORM A TRUST.

Lawrence, Kas.-Lawrence is in

The trust has advanced board from
$3.50 per week to 81 per week, and
there is no relief by going to another
restaurant because all the restaurants
that are worth while are in the agree
ment
For years the price OF meal ticket
calling for q meals in Lawrence has
BEEN $3.50, All the reputable restau-
rants have charged that, and the
downtown people who board are used
to paying it, Some time ago one res
taurant decided to charge separately
for its big dinner on Sunday. The rea
son given was that the dinner cost the
house more than the 1G 2-5 cents that
hole in a meal ticket represented
so 1t was ruled that meal tickets were
not good on Sunday dinners The
boarders kicked, but did not leave
Now the separate fee for Sunday din
ner holds, and the meal ticket, good
on all other occasions, is hiked an
even soc.
The great advances in the cost Of
provisions, meats and fruits are given
as the reason for the increase.
