supreme court Of the state in an an
sWer filed today, Attorney Gencral
Major this afternoon filed with the
cou a suggestion that the custer be
made effective against the concern.
This curse was agreed upon after
conferences between the attorney gem
cral. Governor Hadley and former
Assistant Attorney General John Ken
nish. The action of the attorney
general was based upon the fact that
the company has not furnished salts
factory evidence that it has severed
relations with the Standard Oil com
pany.
The action Of the Waters plar,e
company this morning does not COM

decree and show wherein the com

But you win keep the money ~
omcon suggested.
II have not seer the check. but
understand it has been paid. That
was the fine, of course, to be paid
whether the company is ousted or
not. There is nothing for the state to
do but show that the courts order
has been ignored in part and let the
court act accordingly

Term Dates from March q,

The postponement of Washington's
first official inauguration to April 80
did not have the effect of dating his
term from that day. AS Chief Justice
Marshall declared on a later occasion
with respect to deferred Inaugural
tions: '"The president becomes pres
ident on March 4, but he can take the
oath whenever thereon or thereafter
it seems most convenient for him to
do So" Washington evidently had no
doubt as to the date on which his first
trem began nor as to when the same
expired His second Inauguration took
place on March 4, 1898. The date of
the first inauguration, April 80, was ac-
cidental-fixed by circumstances now
generally forgotten; the other was the
legal date.-Philadelph Record.

man and yachtsman, several years
older than Miss Siegrist, who was not
yet 49, He met her during vacation
days at Narragansett Pier, and while
her grandparents had no objection to
Mr.. Hopkins, they felt the girl was
too young to marry.
On the very day when she was eX-
pected to return to her duties in a
fashionable private school, she disap.
peared from home with her maid.
The two boarded a tender at North
river pier and steamed out to where
Mr.. Hopkins yacht Uno rode the
shimmering waters. Lightly Miss
Siegrist climbed the little ladder to
where her lovers arms awaited her.
Then the captain of the yacht was or
dered to steam up, full speed, for
Peekskill, where a clergyman came
aboard and performed the ceremony
which capped this romantic adven-
ture Cupid, sitting aloft, smiled and
suggested a message to the brides
guardians.
Secure Forgiveness.
The news brought great consterna-
ton to the Lawrence household, for
both the brides grandparents were of
advanced years, and they felt that the
girl was not old enough to know her
own mind.
Nevertheless they granted forgive
ness, and the mother of the BRIDE
groom, following suit, gave splendid
reception in their honor at the ST..
Regis. Later the two young people
set up housekeeping on fine estate
at Irvington-on-the-Hu known
as "Verusselle," which they made into
one of the most beautiful on the Hud-
son. Their time was divided between
this home, their yacht and the ST.
Regis, where they have always kept
suite. One of their mutual fads has
been zoo given over to odd and rare
animals At one time Mr.. Hopkins
created something of a sensation by
trying to break zebras to harnes.
The old grandfather lived to see his
little girl' living a most happy mar
ried life, and SO when he died on
March IA and his will was opened it
was found that he had made the wee
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Russell r.
Hopkins heiress to a million dollars
of the Lawrence legacy, with the
mother as trustee.
Does it pay to elope?"
cit does" answers Mr.. and Mrs
Hopkins in happy chorus.

of each basin is railway track with
a warehouse back of it we'll equipped
with loading cranes. If a barge ar
rives whose cargo is not for immedi-
ate sea shipment she is sent to these
warehouses. But If the cargo is for
some waiting vessel or for one soon
expected the barge goes through the
toll gate without paying and runs
alongside the waiting steamer or the
quay at which she is to land. If the
steamer is there her mast derricks
quickly hoist and transfer the cargo.
If the steamer is yet to come the
barge goes to her quay and the cargo
is hoisted out into the warehouse to
await with other freight the coming
OF the vessel, The barge so unloaded
then goes to discharging warehouse
for ocean steamers and receives a
cargo of imported goods for distribu-
ton at Magdeburg or at Dresden; or
it goes with floating elevator to
some steamer just in from America
or Argentina and takes on wheat for
Berlin.

BRINGS WEALTH TO GERMANY
Six Million Tons of Barge Cargoes
Carried Annually on the
River Elbe.

Six million tons go in or out of
the free port of Hamburg by the Up
per Elbe gate in barges every year
enough, if evenly divided, to load
three big ocean steamers every day
in the year and to carry away and dis
tribute the cargo of three others
coming in, says Everybody's. A big
traffic in itself-this transhipment
from river to sea; and Hamburg. rec
ognizing that fact, has spent millions
of dollars to prepare its harbor fer it.
But it has spent it as Breslau spent
it-by issuing bonds and allowing the
traffic TO support the burden of its
own cost. Barges coming down the
Elbe pass through an Ingenious gate
into a series of canals and Ravens
which are for them alons and which
have room for 1000 of them at a
time.
This river harbor is divided into nu-
merous basins, and on the quay wall

Darkness for Wireless.

1t is one of the many marvels Of
wireless telegraphy that the ether
waves, suffer no absorption in mist
or fog. Quite the opposite, in fact, is
the case, for the effect on them Of
clear sunlight is so marked that they
can be sent with equal initial power
only less than half the distance by
day as by night. For this reason
press dispatches and long-distance
messages sent by wireless telegraphy
are, wherever possible, committed to
the other waves after sunset-Dundee

"a luS IudH Wu6u d lIllIlOL-
heiress is the leading
figure Does it pay?"
Within the past few weeks two very
different answers might seem to have
come from opposite ends of the con-
tinent, but both from millionheir-
esses who started welded life via the
ladder line
ITS the only way" declared Mrs.
Russell F. Hopkins, as she bends over
the cradle of her wee daughter,
Josephine Lawrence Bennett Hopkins,
the central figure in gorgeous suite
at the Hotel st. Regis, far above the
rumble of New York's Fifth avenue.
And Josephine's admiring daddy re-
Trains from the diverting sport of
coaxing laugh from his small heir
ess long enough to add, "Of course,
it's the only way"
But in San Francisco Helen Beryl
Whitney Graydon, who eloped with
Thomas H. Graydon, a famous foot
ball player under Harvard's crimson
pennant, has brought six years of
married life to an abrupt close by
leaving her husband.
Marriage is a failure" she says
sadly, and closes the doors to even
sympathetic friends.
And back in Cincinnati, where she
left him, "Blondy" Graydon announces
with the calm, judicial air which men
assume when masking a sad secret,
II have nothing to say"
YES! Yes! Yes!" chants Mrs. Hop
kins, of New York.
mo- No! MOI" sighs Mrs. Gray
don.
And thus romantic maidens and ar
dent suitors are left to answer for
themselves.

gilt-edged Opponents before you de.
