When a Bride is Not a Bride.

Some London papers have been
discussing the subject of honeymoOns
and have decided that bride ceases
to be bride and becomes a wife af-
ter six weeks of matrimony.
This Is absurd, because there are
some wise woman who are brides all
the days of their lives, and there are
some foolish women who cease to be
brides or even wives twenty -four
hours after the wedding. No limit
can be set upon the honeymoon. 1t

thud after a week of married ''f",
Or it may shine on merrily to cae
golden wedding. A woman my

When she discovers that she is

When she begins to nag.

CAPTAINS MAY 60
Report Again Rife That Wood ruff and Brewer Will Leave
 Department Shortly.
SERGEANTS HARD AT WORK
Doherty Mentioned for One Appoint mcnt and Connolly Darl, Horse
 for the Other.

During tae past few days II has again been persistently rumored around the streets and in official cir cles that before the new police com mssioners which are to be appointed by Mayor James B. Martin take office, two captains, who have been In the service for long time. and the same mentioned in rumors before. will be retired and younger men advanced to their places The two captains who will. it is said. leave the active work of the department are Captain Wood ruff of the central precince and Cap tain Brewer of Grand avenue.
 The retirement of these two cap tains will cause a sharp rivalry be- tween tho many sergeants who are eligible for advancement Those who are eligible arc Sergeants Gibson, Do- herty Connolly. the two Smiths, Den nehy Tighe and MeGann, and it is understood that the members of the police commission are pretty well di- vidcd as to who to advance to a cap taincH.
 Sergeant Doherty is one of those eligible who seems likely to be made a captain If Woodruff and Brewer retire. He Is an experienced officer, has had charge of the Howard avenue precinct at various time, and on sev- eral occasions has distinguished him self He is a prominent member of the Eagles and Is member of the Governors Foot Guard all of wiich will have a tendency to aid him in his candidacy The others seem to be pretty even in tho race.
 Sergeant Connolly, his friends say is liable to prove dark horse who will pull up under the wire before any one knows the race is on One thing which will help Sergeant Connolly Is that he Is a member of the A. O. H. and has taken prominent part in all their public events. At the time o the election of Captain Dunn to the 1 head of the detective bureau, there were votes in the commission for botf i Sergeant Gibson and Sergeant Denne. l hy, and the complexion of the com ! mission has changed only slightly since that time so that these two art still to be figured with. Each of thu eligible sergeants nas many friends i who would be willing to work harc for him, and with the retirement ol the captains there will undoubtedly b, 1 all sorts of wire pulling.
 Captain Brewer, 1t is well known will not retire without a fight. H. will stand on his record and physica i condition.
