Apparently Does Not Want Duke
for Son-ln-law.
OBJECTS TO SNUBS
FROM ROYAL FAMILY
Would Prefer That His Daughter Wed
an American-Fears That opposi-
ton of the Italian court to Dukes
Marriage Would Make 1t unpleas-
ant for His Daughter Katharine.

Eikins. w. Va, Oct. 2.--Taking a
stand almost entirely opposed to that
of the fathers of many American
heiresses who have been sought b"
titled foreigners United States Sena-
tor Elkins has expressed himself as
preferring an American son-in-law
and as believing that his daughter,
Hiss Katherine Elkins, whose ns--
riage to the Duke of the Abruzzi Is
ruraore6, might not be so entirely
happy as one OF the court of Italy.
Repeating what is already known to
the public that the Duke was a man
of many attainments, a scientist and
an admiral, Senator Elkins considers
that the mere fact that he is a mem
Der of the royal family might possibly
make it unpleasant for this charming
and D ular American girl. the only
daughter of Senator Elkins by his
second marriage. Even with the
Dukes high RAM his alliance with an
American would not please all of the
court, and the courts d~ispleasure
would probably be visited on the
Dukes wife. The Queen mother, he
said, was opposed to the Dukes mar
riage to an American.

AS has been understood for some
time the Duke liz still so badly smit-
ten that he is i'm constant comrnuni-
cation upon Miss Elkins, but from
what has been stated, eve If the
Duke has been successful in his suit,
no time has been set for the marriage

tions are being made here. The Duke

kins' e.timation. but they are opposed
to a marriage which might deprive
their daughter OF her happiness

and have said as much to their dalgh.
ter.
Senator Elk1nsf views, so candidly
expressed, make it appear doubtful
if Miss Elkins sill become a member
of a foreign court.
Senator Ellains smiled rather inscru-
table when asked about the feet of
Italian war vessels that dispatches
have stated are being detailed from
the Italian navy to act as escort to
the Duke and his bride in November,
falling to confirm or deny this report
nor dii@he explicitly say there would
be no marriage.
Denies That Date Has Been Set.
The senator when asked concerning
a dispatch from Rome published in
Paris. France, stating that the we'd
ding of the Duke and Miss Elxins
would take place about December
10 next, declared:
There is absolutely no truth in the
report at all. I wonder who manufac-
lures all these reports? The arrange
ment for such an event depends upon
other persons. You can't tell what
some people will do or will not do.
But please say there is no foundation

Heart to Heart

OF FATHER AND MOTHER
By EDWIN A. rye.
Copyright. 1903. by Edwin A. Nye.


''rm just ashamed OF father ano
mother when we have company. Fa
Their Will eat with his knife. and ht
pours his tea out IN his saucer. And
mother has habit | simply can't
break her of. She blows on her food
to cool it."
Which was the plant of a young
woman made to one OF her intimates.
She had recently graduated at a
fashionable boarding school. By means
selves of many comforts the parents
had kept their daughter at the ex-
pensive school for several years.
Now she was ashamed of them.
And they so proud OF her!
OF course father and mother really
ought to be u little more careful In
conforming to the usages. They ought
not to mortify their daughter by their
old style ways. They should regard
the particularly refined tastes and ac-
qulred accomplishments of their edu-
Gated girl.
But you see
Father and mother are growing
somewhat forgetful In their old days.
Sure, they want to make things pleas
ant for Murlel. and they take very
good naturally the hints about the TIA
Bile manners And they try. But they
lapse. 1t is pathetic to note fathers
CONSERVATION when he unwittingly
pours his tea out In the saucer to cool
right when guests are at table. And
once he tried to pour the tea back in
the cup, but his old hand trembled,
and he spilled the tea over the table
cloth. Mother makes fewer mistakes,
though.
1t is matter of habit with the old
people.
Mother formed that habit of blowing
on her food back In the days when the
daughter was at school and mother
had to hurry with household things.
And father found the knife more con
venient those days. He was obliged to
bolt his food and get back to work in
order to get money TO pay daughters
school bills

And now
Well. how should they have known
that fine education would give their
girl ways that were not their ways or
that 1t would put their daughter above
them, so that in her superiority she
would come TO look down upon them
or that in their sacrifice they were
piling up scorn of their old fashioned
lives?
1t Is fervently to be hoped they have
not yet discovered all this.
Educated.
IL the girl is actually ashamed of her
parents she has not got the A Is G
Of education. Education Is designed TO
make woman more womanly, not to
put her on a pedestal above her flesh
and blood
That father has literally sweat blood
to pay the daughters EXPENSE that
mother has died hundred times in
agony and suspense over the girl who
Is ashamed of her.

A MEDICAL HERO.

This is the story Of beautiful hero
ism.
1t happened some time ago IN the
Missouri university but 1t Is too good
to be lost 1t is story not uncom-
mon In the annals of the medical fra
te-nity, which numbers so many quiet
heroes
DIR, Arnold was II distinguished sur
geon and dean OF the medical faculty
One day when the doctor was at
luncheon with some students father
rushed frantically into his presence
and implored the surgeon TO come TO
the aid of his child. who was chok
Ing TO death from diphtheria.
Dr. Arnold started student on the
run to the lecture room for instru-
inents. Going to the little patient. he
kept up respiration until his instru-
ment case was brought. An incision
in the thorax was made and tube
inserted But the childs respiration
WAS ceasing.
Immediately the surgeon knet and
placed his lips TO those of the child
and started respiration.
In doing so he sealed his death war
rant.
AND HE KNEW IT.
Dr. Arnold was suffering from u So.
we're cold. and his bronchial tubes
were highly infamed Three days later
he died
And that Is not ALL glorious rs II is.
When asked by the startled and sor-
row stricken students why he did not
let the father of the boy breathe the
life back into the collapsed organ Of
the child the doctor quietly said
BECAUSE HE Is THE FATHER.
AND THE CHILD NEEDS HIM i
AM A BACHELOR.
The world may reck little OF such
heroism. but II Is OF the sort that !
must swing all the doors OF heaven
wide open,
Greater love hath no man than this
that he lay down his life for his
friend"
DR.. Arnold's ready herosm tran
scended even this large measure Of
human love II was not n friend OF
his for whom he died II WAS II little
Nhhb' WIN Nv si'cSiui SiNii uI'bu uiih
save that OF humanity And. to our
poor sense of Judging. his life was
better worth the saving than that OF
the child.
Arnold did not stop TO balance WI
ues. Duty called. and he died, And
the dying. like the doing. was all II
part of his days work.
Such heroisms come only from those
long dedicated to humane service. who
need no special inspiration to courage,
who daily put their lives in jeopardy
for others.
Souls kin to the Nazarene.
The world scarcely can measure its
loss Of u man like this. OF whom II Is
not worthy,
But the example OF his self sacrifice
almost atones for the loss.

Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Pompeii was buried in ashes and was
easily disinterred, while Herculaneum
received the full force of the crimson
lava, which hardened rapidly to the
consistency of marble and must be
quarried in order to reach the city be-
meath. Owing to this difficulty only a
small amount of excavating has been
done In Herculaneum as compared
with that which has taken place at
Pompeii. In addition, another town
sprang up on che lava above Hercu-
laneum, which would have been en-
dangered by the undermining neces-
sary to exploration with pick and
shovel.-New York American.

The Commercial was asked once
BY a gentleman in business what
1t thought of advertising. The
party was in charge Of some bust
ness interests to which the news
paper man was related. The re-
DIV was that advertising was not q
matter of choice bat OF necessity.
If a man is ambitious, anxious to
achieve and to merit success, not
only in accumulating wealth but
in establishing credit and reputa-
ton, his name and business must
appear in newspapers continuously
in some form or manner. Tie may
or may not use the bill boards, but
he is compelled to use the news
papers. On the other hand It q
business man is getting along to-
wards the age in life when he
wants to retire, that is in case he
does not want his descendants to
perpetuate the business, he may
relinquish in some measure the
bulk of his advertising. But in
any case he will have to advertise
his goods to sell them. Advertis-
ing has long ago been established
as a standard method of stimulat-
ing trade. 1t is no experiment.

present business standards con-
tinue will the First National Bank

ces or the business interests OF the
entire country It is not SO IN
it is notso IN any otner
great country. Aman steps into
a brokers' office and orders the
purchase of one hundred shares OF !
stock. These shares cost him one
dollar each and four points mar
gin or five hundred dollars for the
entire deal. If the stock rises IN
value the purchaser gets one hum
dred dollars for each point, and
should the stock decline ne loses
in the same ratio. If he is a lamb
the losses are usually disastrous.
But the intrinsic value of this stock
is ten thousand dollars or more.
The certiicats are not delivered
and the sale is not completed. La
fact it is not expected that trans
fer will ever be made. Thus it is
that,the fluctuations of the market
offer opportunities for a wager,
and the purchaser is asked to de-
post the FIVE hundred as guaran-
tee that the debt will be paid IN
case he loses.
If any man can tell us why the
principle involved is any less IN
the nature of a game OF chance
than a game of poker or buying

Fact $ that it would be better for

BANK DEPOSITS.

Two weeks ago an article APP
peared in this paper rel tive to
the policy of securing bank de-
posts by the levying of a tax on
banks to create fund for that
purpose. This, of course, is a
plank of the Democratic platform
and is therefore considered author
ity from a Democratic standpoint.
After that Mr.. D. N. Walker, than
whom there are few, it any, more
sensible or fairminded men, stated
that he disagreed with US on this
this proposition, mainly for the
reason that good and solvent banks
would be liable for the misconduct
of banks whose business officials
and methods are not so good. This
is true. The argument, however,
has been weighed by men studying
the subject. The trouble to Bbe
obviated is involved in a new con-
dition brought about by the recent
panic, known as bankers panic,
