A Girl Whom Romance Took to South
Dakota Weds Hotel Land

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LYNN, March 20.-Local friends
of Miss Ada L. Carpenter were much
surprised to learn this week that she
had decided not to marry the South
Dakota man whom she met as the re-
suit of finding his name on an eggshell
but had fallen desperately in love with
the landlord of the hotel where she is
stopping.
Miss Carpenter was formerly en-
ployed in a local factory as a shoe
stitcher and lived for a number of
years at the Woodward house on Pearl
street. Pretty, popular and prepos-
Sessing, she had many ardent suitors,
but it was evident that no one had
won her heart until she received her
first Letter from Edward Allen of South
Dakota.
Their meeting came as the result of
a most unusual circumstance. Miss
Carpenter was taking her breakfast at
a local boarding house a year ago,
when upon breaking the shell of a
hard-boiled egg she discovered the
name and address of Mr.. Allen printed
on the surface.
In spirit of fun she sat down the
following day and indited a letter to
the mysterious man, which received a
prompt response. From then on let
ters became more frequent
The elimination of this odd romance
was an invitation extended by Mr.. AL
len for Miss Carpenter to journey to
his home town. and with the invita-
tion came a railroad ticket good for
one passage TO South Dakota. Miss
Carpenter lost no time in giving up
her position in the shoe shop, and in
formed all her friends that unless
something unforeseen happened she
would soon be Mrs. Allen. She then
left for South Dakota, many of her
shopmates gathering at the station and
bidding her good bye.
Meantime local friends waited
anxiously for the report of the wedding.
Instead, came the surprising news this
week that she had taken advantage of
woman's privilege to change her
mind With this came the informa-
tion that she was to become, not Mrs.
Allen, but the wife of a hotel pro-
prietor in the town where she was
stopping.
Miss Carpenter is 80 years old, at
tractive and a favorite among her
friends.

HALT NEW WORK
FOR THE PRESENT
RAILROADS AWAIT FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS
MerciIess Campaign Has Depressed
Market for Securities, Hence
Construction Projects Are
Put OFF Temporarily
By Associated Press.


CHICAGO, March 2O.-How the state
and national agitation against rail-
roads is affecting the country from the
standpoint of the railroad interests is
set forth in detail in an article which
will appear in the Issue of the Railway
Age March %. In part it is as follows:
THE outlook for railway building in
the United States is not as promising
as it was a year ago. There is as large
a mileage projected as there was in
March, 1906, but the conditions are not
as favorable.
THE country is as prosperous as it
was twelve months ago and the de-
mand for the construction of extensions
into new territory and for increased
railway facilities is as great, but the
campaign which has been SO mercilessly
waged against the railways has caused
many of the large systems to adopt
policies of retrenchment, and the re-
suit is that much important work
which had been planned for the present
year has been indefinitely postponed.
There is no market for railway Sc
curities except at prohibitive rates of
interest, and nearly all the loans that
are being made are of a temporary ma
ture, and to provide for urgent capital
needs.
"A year ago over $4,000 miles of new
railroad were contracted, nearly one
half of which was completed before the
close of the year. a larger mileage than
has been built in any other single year
since 1888.
There is almost as large a mileage
under contract today and while there
will be great activity during 1907 in
pushing to completion new lines on
which the work of construction already
is well advanced and financial arrange
ments for which have been made the
launching of new projects for which
the capital must be provided in many
instances has been postponed until con-
