order to allow the said company time
to consider such a proposition, and
to submit same in writing to this

such vital importance to them that
they desired time in which to consult
by wire with their associates in Bos-

The TEXAS FLOOD
LOSS IS NOW
$25O,OOO
By Associated Press

FIT Worth. Teas, April 1S.-Through,
out north Texas the heaviest rains
in many years is reported to be
causing immense loss to stock and
farmers, flooding the low lands and
making the country roads impossible;
hundreds of bridges have been wash
ed away. Traffic into and out of the
city has been paralyZed almost all
day.
The confusion was added to late in
the afternoon by the decision of the
Texas and Pacific railroad not to al
low the use of their tracks to other
roads. The reason for the action is
given that the fear that extra travel
might weaken the dump in the vicin-
ity of Dallas.
The loss inflicted will total a quar-
ter of million dollars. The Texas
and Pacific sustained the heaviest
loss on the Rio Grande division. where
a dozen distinct washouts occurred.

Paris April 1S.-The Cri de Paris.
which processes to chronicle the do

insists in its issue of today that the
marriage of Nine. Anna Gould, for
merlv the wife of Count Boni de Cas-
telIane, and Prince Heiie de Sagan,
his cousin, already has taken place.
The paper announced some time ago
that this marriage aid been celebrat-
ed secretly in Germany. Today it
says:
We are now in position to COM
plete our Information. This marriage
was celebrated secretly in d little
town on our eastern frontier. When
in New York, Mime. Gould informed
her family that her wedding already
was an accomplished fact, and this is
why the members of her family so
quickly consented.
I'VE would add that for certain
legal reasons which delicacy prevents
from divulging, this marriage can be
broken. This possibility greatly con
soles the families which have been
so crushed by the marriage. but we
hope that they will not by any rude
process trouble the happiness of the
young couple who, during their so
journ in New York, were so much
together"
Continuing, the paper adds that

THE WORLD GROWS SMALLER.

For 9 cents il is possible for anyone to send a letter from San Froncisco t9 London. The man in St Louis, says thp Timos. who wants tO write to his friends and relatives in any part o1 tEc United Kingdom finds t necessary to pay only the same postage that he would employ in sending a letter to Bellvillc. The man in Cork, or Edll- hurg will spend the same amount ot money in sending a letter from ms city to his relatives in St. Louis While ! cents was a very small sum for this service. it was enough to give pause to some frugal souls who will no" write more frequently.
 Thus is the world made smaller. One hundred years ago several dollars were required to send a message from the Mississippi River 10 the Pacl1c Coast. Letters from points in the un- tied States to places in Europe were few and far between, and most of them failed 10 reach their destinations. IL is now a common thing for Budapest to correspond with Seattle, St. Lou1s with st. Petersburg and Winnipeg with Warsaw. Speed has made bet ter understanding within the human family and the letters that are the children of speed have helped the good cause.
