PUPPY LOVE NOT
STRONG ENOUGH
Chicago Youth Deserts Girl at
BeheSt of His
Parents.

Chicago. Feb. 29.-The Tribune today
says:
Paul Bernard Eckhart, the 2O-year-
old son of John W Eckhart, a rich
miller. left last night, it is supposed,
for Oklahoma, and there remained be-
hind him in Chicago Miss Dorothea
Healy, a young woman, who expected
to be married to him a few minutes
before he departed.
The parents of Mr.. Eckhart opposed
the match on account of the youth of
the parties-fOr the girl also is under
age.
BY threats of disinheritancer by en-
treaties and by series of plots and
counter-plots, they were separated,
though the marriage license had been
procured the day before and all the
elaborate wedding arrangements eff
fected.
John W. Eckhart, who was consid-
erably exercised over the affair, at first
professed ignorance of the details. He
asserted that his son was in Chicago,
although he and Mrs. Eckhart went to
railroad station to see the boy safely
started west.
Young Man an Athlete.
Young Eckhart was graduated from
the Culver Military academy where he
achieved a considerable reputation as
an athlete. being a star football player
and holding the record for shot putting.
1t was at the Culver academy that
Eckhart first met Miss Healy. She is
the daughter of a New Yorker. it is
said, who died recently. The young
couple had become engaged a short
time before Eckhart was graduated.
Four months ago, following the death
of her father, Miss Healy came to Chi
eago TO live, and young Eckhart at
once renewed his attentions to her.

Japs Buy Alaska Mine.

The mikado of japan has purchased
for 100000 from Joe %Sliscovitch, the
famous Alaska pioneer, the largest an
timony mine in America, from which the
Japanese government will take tons of
minerals containing valuable ingredients
for smokeless powder and metals which
will make the steel hulls of Nippon bat
tleships proof against b~arnacles. The
Japs had received reports of an assay
of ore taken secretly from the mine in
September. Japanese experts have
made a complete investigation, not only
of this mine, but of nearly every i'm
portant property in Alaska, during the
last six months.
All preparations have been completed
to throw a large force of Japanese la
borers into the property to open the mine
under the direction of japanese en-
gineers. Ore will be transferred to the
mikado's vessels on the coast and car
ried across the Pacific to furnish Japan
csc factories with the materials for
strengthening the naval efficiency of
that nation.
