TWICE SHIPWRECKED
ON HONE YM0ON TRIP

New York, Nov 6.-When the San
Giovanni docked at the Bush stores
yesterday morning Captain r. Foote,
his wife and the crew of the Dutch
bark, A. L. Van Romondt, which
sailed from this port October 10, for
Mantanzas with case oil. came ashore.
Captain Foote is a Nova Scotian,
about 80 years old, while his wife is
a pretty American girl about ten years
his junior. They were married not long
ago, and when the Van Romondt was
loading here the skipper suggested to
his wife that a honeymoon trip be
taken aboard the bark, sailing toward
the salubriOus shores of Cuba.
Their ship sprang a leak and they
and the entire crew were rescued by
he Norwegian bark Snort, Captain
Arnsen, bound for Falmouth, England.
The drain on the provisions was too
much and the Snort had to fly signals
OF distress. The new Italian liner San
Giovanni, Captain Bianchi, bound for
New York on her maiden trip, answered
and took off the bride and bridegroom
and the extra crew.

Hansbrough has sent the following to
President Roosevelt:
Fully $50, 900, 900 bushels OF grain are
now ready to be marketed in the two
Dakotas and Minnesota. and there is

''Ten million dollars placed In Twin

This would relieve the financial stress

perts In charge OF the work admit
that thus far the experiments have
not yielded results Of q satisfactory
nature: but it is believed a system
OF mechanical separation OF wheat and
other grain from foreign seeds and
other matter will be found,
which viii practically settle the
troublesome question OF dockage in
grain.
A number of machines are being used
In the experiments, combining the
principles of wind separation, screen
separation and grading Of the grain.
Many OF these machines accomplish a

satisfactory for market work; but the
government experts declare that a
mechanically perfect separation must
be attained before q standard can be
offered for the settlement of dockage
disputes.
Inaccurate Methods.
AT present the amount OF dockage
in grain Is estimated by methods which
are admitted to be inaccurate. The in
spection departments of Minnesota.
and one or two other states, have
evolved systems which are as nearly
pecfect as possible, under present con-
ditions; but in case Of the frequent dis
puted over "dockage" allowances, there
Is no mechanically perfect system by
which such questions car be satisfac-
torily determined.
The amount OF dockaEe in grain Of
fered for sale at the various ex-
changes, elevators, mills and for ex-
port, varies greatly according to the
locality from which the grain comes.
In the northwestern wheat country the
dockage runs some times as high as
three or -four pounds to the bushel, the
farmer losing this much on the value
of the grain when 1T is offered for
sale.

Distinguish the wars for principle and

CT William Mcdonald, saying that she
was a Vassar graduate temporarily

took pity on her and employed her.
That night the girl got up the dinner
and served the family. After they had
eaten she went to her room and reap
peared in a low-neck dress with a long
train.
She ate her dinner in it and then
went TO her room, took 1t off, and re-
appeared in her kitchen dress and did
up the dishes. She did this for every
meal and iatsted just three days.
II took so much time for her to dress
for meals that h never got tho
