Irate Wife Wrecks a House.


Lamenting that after three score
years of waiting he had made a wrong
choice when he came to marry, Con-
slant Deroide, who owns considerable
property at Columbia Heights, Pater-
son, sought out his counsel, Henry
Morelli, to ascertain what to do about
the woman he married. His wife, so
he said, battered her way with an axe
into the apartments they had been
occupying in one of his tenement
houses and wrecked not only the fur
niture but the walls with the weapon.
Morelli counseled his client that he
was not to lay his hands on the wom-
an, and promised that legal steps
would be taken to protect the prop
erty. The reason the lawyer was SO
emphatic about the abstinence from
physical action on the part of Deroide
was that only a few days ago Deroide
gave bonds to answer to the Grand
Jury on a charge made by the wife
that he had beaten her. Since that
time Deroide has been living alone
while his wife lived with of their
tenants in the same house. Some time
ago Deroide, who is past sixty years
of age, advertised in a New York City
newspaper for a wife. and received
many replies. He thought he knew
what he wanted in the wife line, al
though he had NJ experience. He
sifted the replies down to two and
finally could not decide between An
ME Klots and Therese Beauvillier.
He thought both answered all the
specifications he had of what a wife
should be. He finally wrote two let
ters, one to each, and dropped them
into the mail box at the same mo-
ment, and made up his mind that the
first of the two to reply would be the
one he would ask to marry him. An
ME beat Theresa by several days.

sticking to his post almost night n
day. About a year ago his wife died,
and this, coupled with his close applt-
cation to work, told heavily upon his
health, so the Water Commissioners
voted him a months vacation. This
gave him a chance to sail for his old
home, Meridrikfhald, Norway, and
visit the friends of his boyhood days.
Among the many that he met there
was Miss Hanna Henning, who was
Nelson's schoolgirl sweetheart. The
result was inevitable, and before Mel
son left for Ameeica he had Miss Hen
ning's promise that within a year she
would come to America and become
his wife. As promised she arrived,
and the knot was tied at the st. JOS
eph's Church by Rev. Joseph Trans
erici.

LABOR VICTORY IN END
OF TRACTION STRIKE
Demands of Philadelphia Street
Car Men Are Granted.
Nearly 500 Strike Breakers We're Re-
turned to New York City After
Receiving So a Day and $3.50
Extra if Injured.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The strike of
the employees of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company ended in a
victory for the strikers.
The employees voted to accept the
proposition of the company. In the
extreme northern and eastern sec
tions of the city, the hotbeds of the
rioting, the vote was almost unanimous
against it. Fourteen barns voted to.
accept the terms offered by the COM
pany and four against. The total
vote was 1855 for to 619 against.
Rioting had been renewed during
the day, but with a single exception
the disorders were sporadic. To safe
guard against a renewal of turbulence
all street car traffic was suspended
at 9 o'clock and the saloons were
closed at 6 p. m.
The terms of the agreement are as
follows:
Strikers to be reinstated in their
former positions. Wages to be in.
creased to twenty-five cents an hour
before July /.
Committees of employees to be rec
ognized by the traction company in
presenting grievances and other mat
tiers.
Hours of employment to be adj
justed to ten hours and the swings to
be adjusted to that time as near as
possible.
Arrangements to be made by which
a standard uniform may be purchased
from any n of not less than five
reputable clothing firms.
The terms meet the entire demands
made by the men except that they
asked for twenty-five cents an hour.
The present wage schedule is twenty
one cents an hour.
G. o. Pratt, who conducted the
strike, was not permitted by the
Rapid Transit officials to take active
part in the final negotiations for
peace.
If later it can be shown the COM
pany is able to pay twenty-five cents
an hour, it will be demanded.
The conference was attended by
practically every member of the board
of directors of the Rapid Transit Com
pany. Mayor Reyburn and Senator
McNichol were present.
Nearly 500 str~ike-breakers were
marched from the Bridge street barn
to the depot to return to New York
| City. Half the number wore bandages.
Each received SIS a day, and the In
jured $3.50 additional.
The most serious disturbance OF
the day came when 5000 strike SYM
pathizers assembled at Front. and
| Master streets, where they drove a
| crew from a trolley, threw oil on 1t
| and set it on fire. Firemen turned
the hose on the mob, which fought
back, and an emergency call was sent
for the reserves, who charged and
dispersed it. Sergeant Bloomer was
| seriouscly injured by a stone.
The present strike has been the
most complete tie-up ever experienced
by local trolley companies, and the
temper of the people was more violent
than in the strike Of 1895.

BELL SOLVES PROBLEMS OF AIR.
His TetrahedraI Kite Will Settle, Not Fail, if Shot to
Pieces. --.
Pieces.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. hope
that in the very near future, perhaps
some time this summer, he will have
perfected a flying machine that will
revolutionize navigation of the air in
at least two important particulars,
DR.. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor
of the telephone, detailed to the
American Philosophical Society the
experiments he has made and those
that are to come.
In his effort to evolve a perfect ma
chine Professor Bell will leave the
aerodrome type of machine and place
his dependence in what he has de-
nominated the tetrahedral kite, a
kite which has the form of a huge
triangle and is composed of many
small cells.
"All of the machines now in use,"
the inventor said, "even that of the
Wrights, who lead the world in flying
machine construction, lack stability
in the air. That is one fault. Anoth-
er and more dangerous flaw is the
The Penn's Grove record., 1909-06-11

fact that when an ACCIDENT happens
to one of these machines it falls to
the earth with extreme rapidity, en-
d~angering the life of the aviator. On
account of their lack of stability in
the air the safety of the aviator de-
ponds almost entirely upon his skill.
THE tetrahedral kite is perfectly
stable in the air, as has been demon
strated by repeated tests. In case of
an accident it will descend to the
earth gently and smoothly as a bird
would. 1t could even be broken in
half and still reach the earth in safe
ty. In times of wal this would be an
invaluable attribute, as the kite
would be able to stand any amount OF
shelling."
1t is these two things that will be
the subject of the experiments this
summer. Professor Bell has been
conducting his work at his summer
house in Braddock, Nova Scotia, a
small town on the shore of Lake Bras
dor, and in Hammondsport, N. 7.

Seattle, wash. j. Hill, chair
nan of the Great Northern Board of
Directors, discussing the recent wheat
corner, said:
ut is a mistake to say James A.
Pattea cornered the wheat market.
1t is merely a case of a man taking
advantage Of an opportunity. 1t has
been but a few years since it was es-
timated that the average consumption
Of wheat per nnu in this country
was six bushels, but now the experts
argue that it is even bushels. The
census of 1910 will show that we
have a population Of 10000, 900,
which will mean that we will require
for our own use 630,000,000 bushels
hereafter.
I'VE raise now probably 0,000,-
900 bushels Of wheat in the United
States with good crop conditions.

Washington, D. C.-Midshipmen in
the United States Navy cannot marry
now until they have completed their
full six years of apprenticeship. This
order was issued by Secretary Meyer
and approved by the President.
Heretofore the Naval Academy reg
ulations ruled that no midshipman
could marry during his cadet days.
There have been instances, however,
where members of the graduating
class have insisted that when they
COMPLETED their course of studies at
the Academy the rules did not extend
to them while on the required sea
cruise of two years. There was moth
ing in the regulations of the navy
that governed the middies in this re-
gard while they were undertaking
the sea duty necessary for them to
qualify, and Secretary Meyer decided
The Penn's Grove record., 1909-06-11


This will leave us but $1,000 900
bushels as a surplus for export, while
in the past we have exported upward
of 120,000,000 bushels per annum
So one can see that we will need all
our wheat~to feed u W people.
Within the next five years the wheat
of Eastern Washington WILDE shipped
eastward to feed the people of East
ern and Central Western States.
"And in considering these facts it
must be remembered that the number
of live stock slaughtered last year
was 100000 fewer than the year
previous. When farmers of Iowa,
Minnesota and Nebraska can get
sixty-fve cents a bushel for col at
the country station they will not en-
dure the risk of hog cholera and the
labor incident to hog raising, but will
sell all their grain"

FALSE HAIR FORBIDDEN.
st. Louis Girl Graduates Cannot Wear

senior class of Hosmer Hall, a fash.

with false curls at the commencement
exercises will not receive her diploma.
Many members of the class had pur-

Miss McNair was aroused against
false hair at the commencement exer-

horror at the deception, which was
genuine, was aggravated by imper-
