FATHER OBJECTED
Pretty Fifteen Year Old Ther- esq Perfetta Gets No
 License.
M0TMR QUITE WILLING
Party v1z3 to the Probate Court, But
 Could Find No Way 4o Out.

The failure of pretty Theresa Per- fetta. not quite sixteen years of age and Philip Silvestrino, twentv-one, to procure a license for their marriage in this city yesterday was due primarily to the opposition of the young woman's father, Dominick Perfetta of l04 Haven street. Dominlck whose occupation is given as labofer, appeared yesterday morning in registrar Carr's office and gave notification that as his daughter Theresa was under age and he was therefore her legal guardian jointly with her mother, he forbade the is suance of any license to her if she ap- peared for one. Sure enough in the afternoon Theresa and her intended husband together with the girls moth- CT appeared and asked for the license The mother was perfectly willing to have the marriage take place but the young couple were told that the father had raised objection and that they could not receive a. license here.
 Mother and daughter then betook themselves to the Probate court to see if there was not some way of the di lemma whereby the girl could attain her license even despite the objection of her father tc the marriage. But there they learned that it could only be done by having the father removed from his legal guardianship of the girl for cause and this would require a hearing be- fore the court
 This they declared was too much to undertake and they departed without obtaining the license. The girls claim is that her father opposed the mar riage of both of her sisters as well as herself and the reason hinted at is that he wanted them home to work so that he might enjoy the revenue derived from their labor. The two older sisters got around the parental objection by eloping to New York, it is stated, but this the younger girl did not wish to do

SPLIT IS GROWING New York Central May Soon Leave the Railway
 Association.
NEW HAVEN REJECTS PLAN
Doubtful if Reduction of Fer Diem Will Get the Requisite
 Vote.

It is understood here that the New York, New Haven and Hartford ral- road company has received another ap- peal from the AmeDcan Railway as- sociation for the settlement of the fifty cents per diem dispute but has not &C., cepted the proposition, and has ex- pressed the opinion, that the matter of the settlement of the accumulated demurrage charges. should go to the courts. The New Haven company since it withdrew from the association, on the first of October. 1907 has reg ularly debited itself with the fifty cents per diem charge. and the accumula- ton now amounts to a gross sum of about sS00,00G. It is regarded as prob able in railroad circles here, that the company, should any agreement be ! reached soon, will settle with the con- meeting lines, for not more than half that sum.
 i Although the New Haven company, as it is not a member of the associa- tion, has not received from it the cir cular letter calling for a vote of the various railroad companies upon the question of the reduction of the per | diem from fifty cents to twenty-five cents per Car, such notice has been re- ceived by the Boston and Maine and the Boston and Albany companies, which had given notice of withdrawal, 1 The circular states that to make the proposed twenty-five cents per diem rule effective, it must be approved not merely by a majority of the companies | that are members of the association. but by companies holding the larger number of cars. The Western roads generally are creditor roads on cars. | the eastern roads debtor corporations. In railroad circles here 1t is regarded as extremely doubtful whether the vote which must be returned by February 9, will show requisite majority in favor of the measure. A report here. which cannot be officially confirmed, Is that unless the general matter Is set- tied by the first of March, the New York Central will join the large New
 England railrcad companies and give notice of withdrawal.
 The circular sent out hy the Ameri- can Railway association also provides
 for the appointment of committee to
 fix a fair per diem rate and also to
 provide methods for the prompt return
 of cars to the owning or controlling
 road, upon Its demand. This proposl-
 ton will also later be referred for a
 vote to the members of the associa-
 tion, and determined in the same man
 ner as the twenty-five cents per diem
 plan, which the associated railroad
 corporations are voting upon now.

The Mystery Of Human Cruelty.

The nlysferg Of cruelty is surely
almost as terrible as the mystery of
pain, in way. to some minds at
least. They are closely allied. One
reads with horror in Mr.. Hudson's
book about Cornwall of the abomina-
bic cruelty of the men who catch birds
by baited hooks, and in particular of
the absolutely fendish cruelty of one
who broke the soft bills of the birds
he did not want, flung the poor crea-
lures into the air and complacentiy
watched them hutter to the ground and
die In agony.
Many village boys are hardly better
One can understand the taking of eggs,
but how about the demolition of the
nest and the wringing of the necks of
the unfedged younglings? They do
it just like this said country lad to
the writer. with a horrible pantomime.
DO zee think they should do it. sir?"
Ii saw them doing it know precise
ly what / should do. but the little
wretches do it in secret and gloat over
It. For such utter heartiessness the
only possible cure is the birch.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

ROCK EEEEcTs

Like all other things in gardening,
the grouping Of rocks to be effective
must be natural. A mere pile of stones
arranged in a cone or other mathe-
NAUTICAL form remains mere pile of
stones
If mass effect of rocks is desii L
1t should be led up to by few loose
stones lying about This is natural and
not forced. All the edges of the stones
should be rough or If smooth should be
as the pebble aud cobblestone, the
work of nature. Vines and shrubs may
be used about rock garden with
charming effect SO long as the artifi-
cial is avoided. That is the one note
always to be sounded in all forms of
landscape gardening Avoid the artifi-
cial the forced, the rigid, the ungrace-
full Go with nature not against her
Your only effort must be to idealize
and out-nature her. That sounds par
adoxical, but. in fact, is the very soul
Of all art,
OF course the greatest charm in a
rock garden is from a combination of
rocks, shrubs and water. Cascade eff
iects are always enchanting. Water
singing its song as It trickles through
stones or as It leaps along q rock gully
combines the magic of painting, music
and poetry.
But water effects are not the only
charms Of fhe rock garden A mere
mass Of stones II arranged with Q
careful earelessness may jut out Of the
grass or the foliage with a striking and
pleasing effect.
Use your own taste In these matters
as III all others If you truly love the
beautiful, learn to trust your own dis
elimination
