Two Runaway Accidents.

Chicago.-Battling bravely against
an adverse fate which seemed de-
termined to prevent her marriage,
Miss Isabelle Spartz of Kenosha coun-
ty, Wis, has finally triumphed and
is now Mrs. Philip Neu. They were
to have been married a week ago,
but while making arrangements for
the marriage Neu was injured in a
runaway accident. When he recovered
sufficiently to go to the church for
the wedding he drove over to the
home of Miss Sparta. AS she got into
the carriage she said: do you think
the wedding will be a go this time,
or are you going to have another
runaway ACCIDENT" Half an hour
later the horse SHE'D AMI upset the
carriage, throwing the couple fri" r.
ditch. Fortunately neither of them
was seriously injured. Leaving Tine
runaway animal to demolish the bug
gy, they walked to the church and
were married.

A Victorian Anthology.

One discovers already in her two
qualities which she retained through
life and which struck those who knew
her personally in her later years all
the more because they seemed at
first sight TO be hardly compatible
qualities. One was a strong personal
"a de and sense of the dignity OF her
position. She was not naughty, much
less arrogant. But she was pene-
trated through and through with a
sense OF what it meant to be head OF
the United Kingdom and the British
Empire. Yet although this feeling
was added to her own high spirit
she would have been deemed a high
spirited woman even in a private sta
tion-it did not in her bear the fruit
OF vanity. She was not vain. She
knew her own intellectual limitations
and never tried to make a figure In
fields for which he was not fitted. II
one were to make a comparison at
all between persons whose surround
lngs were so different one might in
comparing her with Queen Elizabeth
observe that she was quite free from
two of Blizabeth's salient faults, per-
sonal vanity and faithlessness. Truth.
fulness and honor were the basis OF
her character and as she was above
deception herself. so she had a hor-
ror of deceit in others. She thought
that international policy ought to be
straightforward and sometimes re-
monstrated against courses of action
which seemed open to reproach on
that score.-James Bryce in North

which was called to the assistance OF

After standing by the Republic for

Baltic, decided that it would be adj

the transfer was begun. In addition
to the passengers of the Republic,
those of the Florida will go also on

sengers number 500 and those of the

deemed advisable to take off the pas

the latter was also seriously damaged

CONCRETE eATHHoUsEs.
Boston May Build Them-HoodIums
Carry Of Wooden Structures.

Boston hoodlums have compelled
the authorities there to consider the
plan of building the public seashore
lighthouses of concrete.
According to the Cement Age 1t
was found that it would be waste OF
money to put the ordinary wooden
houses in condition before the season
brought the full quota OF guards to
the grounds to protect them. Dewey
Beach and Wood Island Park suffered
severely during the winter.
All the woodwork that the hood
lum element possibly could get loose
was torn away. doors were battered
in and practically every inch OF lead
pine left on the premises was stolen.
Most OF the plumbing was taken
down by the bath department at the
end OF the last season to save 1t
from a similar fate.
The continual destruction OF city
property has reached the point thas
concrete construction has been rec
commended for future buildings. The
new houses would have heavy iro1
grating set up in front Of the doors
and windows to protect them during
the months when the buildings are
not used. 1t is figured that concrete
would not cost much more than wood,
and 1t might save the annual expense
of thousands of dollars for merely
replacing what is being destroyed
maliciously in the cold season.
