Blaine Elkins, youngest son of
Senator Stephen b. Elkins, of
West Virginia, is in a peck of
trouble. Mr.. EIkins, who was
recently married to Miss Margar-
ct Kenna, has been sued by Lou
Use Lonsdale, a New York ac-
tress, for 100000 damages for
alleged breach of promise. The
action was brought before Judge
Dayton in the United States Cir
cult Court at Philippi, this State.
The young woman declares that
Mr.. Elkins promised to marry
her; that he helped her to get a
divorce from her former husband,
Leonidas Seoffy, SO that they
could be married; that they lived
together as man and wife, and
that he had kept her for con-
siderable time; that she had in
CURED much debt, including a
big board bill at the WaldorfsAs-
toria Hotel in New York, be-
lreving that he intended to mar
ry her. Mr.. Elkins denies that
he ever promised to marry her.
Senator Elkins says that it is a
case of blackmall and there is no
truth in the woman's statement.
Her suit will be resisted vigor-
ously.

What the railroad men thought
of Judge Taft when he was a
Judge in Cincinnati, when he
granted injunctions and put rail-
road men in jail:
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers Journal in May, 1893,
said: Judge Taft's decision pro-
claims members of the B u. %. a
band of conspirators." Also, I'VE
cannot accept Judge Taft's decis.
ion in any other light than treason
to republican institutions and the
liberties of the people. 1t lie, will
be and ought TO be denounced and
repudiated by all liberty-loving
men"

son county vote for injunction
Taft because injunction Dillon
tells them to, or will they vote with
John Mitchell for Bryant !

The first signs of distress were
when Captain Hitchcock lost his

ardor imagined, Commanding the

Ornamental Street Lighting.

Not many American cities pay the
attention to beautiful effects In their
street lighting. and they are In this
respect far behind foreign cities. A
superficial observer will think that
the foreign city Is not SO well lighted
In its business districts as the Ameri-
can city, but will not notice that this
is due to the fact that the American
business man Is lavish user of cleo
trio light for advertising purposes, not
often with good results from the artis-
tic point Of view, while In foreign
cities a minimum of this sort of bill
posting is permitted. When the pri-
vate lights are extinguished. late at
night or on holidays, the blackness of
the American street Is felt rather than
seen. and does not compare favorably
with the well-arranged lights of the
foreign city in attractive groups Of
handsome fixtures. Municipal En-

Most Popular Name for srId.,.

Ann was the most popular name
for brides In 1907. The Maggies, the
Marys, the Rates and the Rosies, all
OF whom have In past years carried
off the honor, must bow to Ann.
Thomas c. Smith, the application
clerk Of the marriage license bureau
has for years kept record OF the
most popular names of brides, and
his records for 1907 show that there
have been more brides with Ann as a
handle to their rames and surnames
than any other.
Katie carries off second honors and
Mary, once so popular, drifted away
back to the seventh place. In 1906
Maggie won first place, but now she
