The progress Of the enormous new
system of waterworks Of New York
City has made necessary the creation Of
large new aqueduct police force, for
the patrol and protection Of the water
shed. The chief Of the force is popu-
lar college graduate and society man.
The news Of his appointment brought
applications to take the civil service ex-
aminations from three hundred college
men, who are attracted by what they
regard as a vacation in the beautiful
scenery Of the Catskills, with one hun
dred dollars month as gratuity. The
physical examiner Of the civil service
commission pronounced the candidates
the finest body Of men, physically, he
had ever examined, and the young men
came away from the mental tests grin
ming, and declaring that they were
easy" The aqueduct force ought to
be able to rob the city police Of it's title

THE GREATEST WEDDING.

over Twenty Thousand Persons
Wero Married I'm Ono Ceremony.
The biggest wedding ever known to
history was when Alexander the Great
and over 10000 OF his soldiers took
part in a wedding in the court Of Da-
RUS, king Of Persia, after the latter's
conquest by Alexander. Twenty thou
sand two hundred and two persons
were made husbands and wives In one
ceremony.
The facts are these: After conquer
ing King Darius. Alexander deter
mined to wed Statiro, daughter of the
conquered king, and issued decree
that on that occasion 100 Of his chief
officers should marry 100 women from
the noblest Persian and Medean fam
lilies. He further stipulated that 10000
of his Greek soldiers should take to
wife 10000 Asiatic women.
For this purpose vast pavilion was
erected, the pillars being sixty feet
high. One hundred gorgeous cham
bers adjoined this for the 100 noble
Drl00RrOOmS, Willie 1OI Tic 1O,OOW SOi-
diers an outer court was inclosed. Out
side Of this tables were spread for the
attitude. aR
Each pair had seats and ranged
themselves in semi-circle round the
royal throne. AS it would have taken
several weeks for the few priests TO
have married this vast number of
couples had the ceremony been per-
formed in the ordinary way, Alexander
invented a simple way out of the diff
Guilty. He gave his hand to Statiro
and kissed her, and all the remaining
bridegrooms did the same to the wom-
en- beside them, and thus ended the
ceremony that united the greatest
number of people at one time ever
known.
Then occurred five days festival,
which for grandeur and magnificence
never has since been eQualed.

In meeting Of prominent woman's
club, one Of the members made a hu.
morous criticism on the character and
performances of man, who, she said,
significantly. was created Immediately
after the brutes. And In Current Liter
AZURE for April there was symposium
by lot Of anonymous philosophers,
such as street car conductor" "a ten
ement-house commissioner" and "a
udge'-they were afraid or ashamed to
give their names-who -cheerfully ex-
press the opinion that women, as a sex,
are wholly destitute Of "honor." 1t is
singular freak of human nature that
whenever a person becomes irritated
by the character or conduct Of another
person the fault Is ultimately attributed
to the offending persons religion, ma.
tionality or sex. This laundering con-
clusion may be the result Of prejudice
against certain religion, nationality or
sex, or it may be the effect of sheer
shallowness and ignorance But II 1t
Is not the result OF prejudice 1t 10 sure
to beget it. The harsh criticisms of
women by men and men by women are
to be viewed in this light They betray
an utter absence of close observation
and reasoning. And where the criti.
cisms are not jocose they are to be dep.
recated, as tending to produce what are
called "men haters'' and women hat
ers," and to give false ideas Of life.

A number of southeastern railroads
gave notice of an increase Of rates on
lumber in 1903. Before the rate be-
came effective, bill was fled in the
United States Circuit Court to restrain
the establishment Of the new rate as
being unreasonable. 4 temporary in
junction was granted, but later dis
solved, on the condition that the rea-
sonableness Of the rate should be passed
upon by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The commission found the
rates to be unreasonable. A supple
mental bill was then fled to obtain
restitution Of the excess OF rates
charged in,accordance with prior slip
ulation that, If complainants prevail, a
decree Of restitution might be made.
A decree was so rendered and affirmed
by the Circuit Court Of Appeals. Upon
appeal to the Supreme Court it was
again affirmed. Railway Co. v. Tiff, ~

How many recognize the above
name? Hands up. Nobody? Well,I
well, that Is too bad! It's a shame
that a man would be running for
very high Office in one OF the best
districts in the whole country and peo-
pie don't even know his name. Why,
Hon. e. T.. Robinson IS the man the
Democrats have named as a candi-
late for Congress from the First dis.
trict against that big. thoroughgotng,
sturdy Republican, Hon. VIM. P. Hub.
bard. They named a man from Wet
eel county in order to hold 1t in the
Democratic column if possible. Hav.s
ing lost every other county In the dis.
trict, and seeing the majority running
down in Wetzel every year, the sug--
gestion was made that man from
that county ought to be named in or
der to save little something from
the cataelysm, and SO Robinson was
selected. Next to Ben Hiner, who is
running against Mr.. sturgiss, he Is
about the poorest congressional tim
Der ever tried out even by the Demo-
Gratis. Most other candidates in this
district have done something to cause
the people to remember that they
made race. but not so with Lille
Robinson. Why, when j. waiter
Barnes ran, he made several speeches
around ana shook the bushes to beat
the band. And he cut the Republican.
majority down several votes, too. but
Lille, he is more likely to eft 1t up
about a thousand than any other way.
1t is generally conceded that Mr.: Hub.
bartl's majority win reach al least i, Z

see it reach 5000 or may be G,OOo.

a MARYLAND WELCOME

Mr.. Taft was astounded at the depth
and breadth, the sincerity and the
JUNCTION of the great demonstration
made in his honor on Monday night.
1t was an immense success IN every
respect. II one might venture the
observation, 1t was fitted to the pro.
portions Of the candidate. Physically.
big, mentally big. broad and genial in
spirit. with great compass Of thought
and affection, with the power to com.
pretend subjects in their full bearing.
Mr.. Taft somehow seems ito typiFy
Maryland itself, says the Baltimore
American.
When MIR. Hughes had been given
the grip of the Maryland hand he went
away enthusiastic. He remarked up.
on the mountain scenery Of the west.
ern part Of the State, practically I'm.
paralleled in similar limited compass
anywhere; he was charmed with the

city Of the Chesapeake. with the splr.
1t of the people; ne was, in fact. con
verted into MaryIander all save resi-.
dence. This deficiency, he observed.
would be madc good IL ever he left
New York politics for a pleasant har.
lorage elsewhere.

But Mr.. Taft has taken Maryland
with him. Hs has its heart, he has
its support, he has Its practical prom.
Use to go with him through It's eleetor
al vote to the very doors Of the White
House. That Maryland welcome
meant much for Mr.. Taft, as election
day is apt to disclose.
