Wealthy Girls
Drew StraWS
For Husband

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 23.-Frank B. Hanna,
City comptroller Of East st. Louis, is
now regrettng that he did not take
seriously the proposal of marriage which
F. ne received by letter from Betty
Sharpe" a few days ago. He has just
been convinced that the letter was writ
ten by an exceedingly pretty and
wealthy young woman Of Norfolk. Va,
though II vas the result of a Joke.
Mr.. Hanna has learned that Miss
Sharpe is TO return to st. Louis next
week to complete her visit with Blanche,
Maud. aud Hazel Skinner, and he has
some hope OF yet being able to accept
the offer.
1T may not be too late even now"
he says, hopefully.
The letter was written as a result OF
an article in one Of the papers. which
quoted Mr.. Hanna, who is forty-one
years old. as saying that he would
marry the first good looking girl who
proposed TO him in 1908. The article
was seen by Miss Sharpe and the Misses
skinner, whom she was visiting. With
three other girls, they drew straws TO
see who should write TO Mr.. Hanna
Miss Sharpe drew the longest straw
aad wrote the letter, aided by the ad-
vice Of her six friends.
Mr.. Hanna believed the letter a Joke
signed with fictitious name, and paid
no attention 70 IT. Today, however a
reporter talked with the Misses Blanche
and Maud Skinner
I'VE have known Betty Sharpe for
about two years." said Miss Blanche
Betty and her mother are wealthy and
spend most Of their time travelling I'm
-ess Betty gets married before then
she's going to visit friends in Porto
Rico next summer. Betty spent the hOl-
idays visiting US. Seven OF US, Betty,
Belle and Dorothy Paulis, of West Pine
Boulevard. Lou Jackson, Of North
Grand avenue; my two sisters and my
self. were here one evening about a
week after New Year Day when we
saw the article about Mr.. Hanna want
ing to marry the first EoOd-looi-ing girl
that would propose to him.

straw went TO Betty"

Jock of Daybreak has been declared
the big prize winner OF the fourth an
nual cat show under the auspices OF.
the Washington Cat Club. and, slipping
right close up behind him for the hon
ors, is Columbia Patrick, who, in spite
Of the tail end Of his name, is a duly
accredited citizen of Washington. Jock
belongs to Mrs. E. b. Cridler. of Dams
Vile, n. Y, and has taken so many
prizes and ribbons that he doesn't care
to discuss them any more. AS for Co
lumbia Patrick, whose proud owner IS
Miss r. L. Burritt, of Washington, the
question of prizes has long ago ceased
to be q matter Of moment 10 him It's
pedigree that counts. Material things
are beneath his notice.
Prizes He Has Won.
Jock not only took the gold medal
offered by the Cat Fanciers' Association
but a loving cup, silver spoon, and
any number Of specials. He took his
hCnors like a veteran and gazed back
at the curious throng which visited his
cage with the pOise OF a society leader.
Jock is a beautiful silver gray Persian
and not only took prizes on his own
beauty but captured one for having tho
best eyes in the show. A debutante
couldn't do better. Jock traces his pedi-
gree back thirty-two years, and at that
period his ancestors were located riSlt
IN the heart Of Persia, so he is sure of
being the real thing.
Columbia Patrick was no less a king
at the cat show this morning than his
gray rival. He is much larger than
Jock and just as black as any night
that ever crept over the world His
great head and beautiful eyes caught
the fancy OF the judges and today Co
lumbia Patrick has more than twenty
specials to his credit. This means

NEW YORK, Jan 21-The sud
den weakening of the stock market
in the last few minutes of trading on
Monday left it's impression on the
tone of transactions all day today.
There were apparent at times efforts
to nurse the market and arrest the
declining tendency. and to invite re-
newed purchase from an outside
source which would further that pur-
pose, but the preponderance of spec
ulative liquidation over the abortive
power of the market could not be
overcome. The market closed weak

A GROSS FALSEhOOD

The story printed in Every
Evening on Thursday evening
pHrporting to be correspondence
frsm Middletown, sitting forth
that trouble had been experienced
at a colorSd meeting at "Ham-
town." was a lie out of the whole
cloth. In the first place, the meet
ing to which reference was had
was held in Middietown, at Dale's
Chapel NJ. E. Church and not in
Hamtown. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Judge Hewitt, a law
yer residing and practicing in the
City of Washington, a man of
high education and attainments,
whose law practice brings him
into the highest courts of this
country, and who has made from
his profession a Portable for
tune. 1t was the pleasure of the
writer to hear Judge Hewitt
and his address was exceptionally
fine. Near the close of the meet
ing the constable accompanied
by three or four other men came
to the church searching for a
man for whom he had warrant.
The man wanted was not there
and as soon as the officers were
satisfied of this facL, they left
and thai is all of the story. No
pistols were drawn, consequently
no one was shot.

THE CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN

SLOSG Va AAhA
This issue of THE TRANSCRIPT
marks the close of the campaign.
Locally is has been quiet, but
marked by earnest work on both
sides, and full registration. A
number of illegally registered
Democrats were stricken from
the list by Judge Spruance in
the Appeals Court. The Dem
ocrats had one public meeting in
Middletown at which addresses
were made by prominent men OF
that party. One of the interesting
facts about this was that when
ever reference was made to the
local candidates. the utmost
silence prevailed. The crowd
could and did cheer Bryan,
Handy, Paynter and others, but
there was no applause for the
local candidates. A fair presump-
ton is that this lack of enthusi-
asm pressage lack of votes on
Tuesday.
The State campaign, from a
Republican standpoint is in bet
ter shape than week ago. De-
spite the attacks made upon some
of the candidates Republicans
are going TO vote the ticket.
They. know what Democratic
success means and they are go
ing to make sure that majority
of the next Judges are Republi-
can by electing a Republican
Governor and they are going
to hold up the hands of the in
soming administration by elect
ing a Republican congressman.
The signs all point to the election
of the Republican county tickets
in all three counties.
The National campaign shows
evidence of a Republican land
side which may reach to the pro-
portions of 1904 Bryan has
been deveting the week to New
York and has succeeded in res
urrecting the dead Democrat,
D. B. Hill, who had been trying
to live down the memory of 1896
and 1900. This seems to be the
net result of of his weeks work.
Altogether the signs are promis-
ing for another four years of
prosperity.
