CHANDLER IS PLEASED.

Former Senator GratIfied Over Passage
 of Publicity BiII.
 Washington, May 26.-Former Sem ator William E. Chandler Of New Hampshire, has written a letter to Chairman Burrows of the senate com mittee on privileges and elections, ex- pressing his pleasure at the passage by the house of a publicity bill. MT. Chan letter under date of yester- day follows:
 Dear Sir:
 "I note the passage through the house of the publicity bill 20,l13 which denotes sanity and progress of a cer- tain kind which, however, needs com pletion and perfecting to make 1t what Secretary Taft will doubtless write to you privately he wished it to be.
 But I did not think 1t wise to em- barrass a publicity bill by adding 1t to a federal election bill. If this must be done it would be expedient to re- enact all the old laws and enforce them To enforce the fourteenth amendment in a way to abandon and make obsolete the fifteenth amend ment would be unjust to the eolored citizens So if the election features are to stay in bill 20.112 advise the addition of a clause repeating the act of Feby. 8, 1894. and re-enacting all the federal election statutes
 (See Congressional Record of Feby. 2. lse4.4
 "As a publicity and federal election bill has passed the house 1t will be injurious to the Republican party ir congress does not stay in session long enough to completely adopt 1t, so that 1t will apply during the coming can vass.
 Very respectfully.
 william E. Chandler"

of her husbands relatives that she had any part in such proceeding. said Mir. O'Really. and that she withdrew the action because she believes her husbands present position demands her loyalty.
 "There, has been much misrepresent- ation as to Mrs. Evelyn Netbit Thaw's action in first bringing application for annullment and subsequently discon- tinuing the same" said the statement. Mrs. Thaw reluctantly made such an application in response to pressure brought by relatives of her husband 1; she withdraws from the action at this time because she believes her hus- bands present situation demands her loyalty to his interests and that 1t would not serve any good purpose to prove at a time when he is attempt ing to gain his liberty. that he was Insane when he married her. Especial ly Is this true in the light of the ur- fortunate conclusion of the last pro- ceedinRs"
 Mir. o'Reilly declined to give the name of the relative who had brought persuasion to bear on her to institute the proceedings for the annuliment or the marriage.
 M.. oReilly was quoted today as saying that there had been no recon citation between Harry K. Thaw and his wife. and that Mrs, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw wanted none. He added that Mrs. Evelyn Thaw thought she had right to some financial recompense Tor the sacrifice she had made in Thaws behalf. MT. o'Reiily said that some step of that kind might be taken but he would not indicate what form the movement would take.
 Franklin Bartlett. counsel for Mrs. William Thaw, made denial tonight 70 Lawyer o'Rell1y's statement that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had made apph- cation for any annulment of marriage in response to pressure brought by rel atives Mir. Bartlett said:
 The position of the family in re- gard to this young woman Is very sirn- pie and very just Mrs. William Thaw desires that this young woman shall be treated not only fairly but generous ly, and she Is now being paid xi.oOe per month which in my opinion as lawyer of experience. is far more than any court would allow her for mainte- nance and support, either as alimony or otherwise"

Salisbury N. G.. May 2s--chairman Boyden, of the Arti-prohibition forces made this statement at S:30 o'clock to- night with reference to today's election in this State.
 Scattering reports from forty-five counties show that the vote on prohib- ition will be very close. and until the returns are in from all the counties. l do not consider that the State has gone for prohibition.
 The vote nt this hour shows that Raleigh, Wilmington. Salisbury and some other cities. have voted in favor of the retention of the local option sys- tenn. Considering that the State ai- ready was SS per cent prohibition, the vote indicates the people are against the mixinR of religion with politIca."

taking previous censuses.
Senator Long, chairman of the COM

There are several fallacies about
love that ought to be corrected. One
is that the first love is the only true
love. The first love may be a true
love, but it need not be the only true
love. Another fallacy is that love is
blind. Love can see beauties where
the world sees deformities. It is also
a mistake to suppose that one can
love truly but once. It is likewise
false that love never runs smooth.
