tauqua system was in the city last
week and took occasion to. call on
his newspaper friends while here
He says the talent for next year is
being booked and that Manchester is
sure to have some excellent numbers
The Redpath people are considering
the advisability of having a progress,
isives day and ststand pat day as
part of next years program, putting
on a speaker of national reputation
belonging to the progressive faction
one day and stand pat speaker the
following day.
The congressional campaign will be
in full swing next summer and such
feature should prove drawing card.
The Redpath people managed the
recent lecture tour of DR.. Cook and
Mr.. Graham says the arctic explorer
cleaned up a snug fortune from his
lectures in less than a month. he
says DR.. Cook did not deliver lee
ture that netted him less than
$3,5OO.0O and that the largest amount
which he received was at st. Louis.
where he received $4,000 for a single
lecture. The great seating capacity
Of the coliseum in that city allowed
the local managers to accommodate
all Of the people who flocked to
hear him and the receipts at the
door amounted to over $4,000. SIN
gle admission tickets sold for $3.50
to $500 with box seats as high as

The Redpath system expects to

MARRIAGE LICENSES ARE FEW.

K
The marriage licenses issued in
Delaware county during the past sum
mer have been few and far between.
The newspapers over the state have
all been, giving more or less attention
to the decrease. in the number of
marriage licenses issued by the coun-
ty clerks. A Waverly newspaper re-
Gently contained the following ar
tic!e: ~
What will support one will sup
prt two" is saying that was handed
down for ages and when a young man
had an income sufficient to- keep him
self he was in a position to marry
and support a wife. But that say
ing does not hold good today and the
reverse is more in keeping Of. pres
emf conditions what will keep Two
will not support one. By that we
mean that 1t usually takes that
amount to support one who would
live according to the extravagant
ways of this age.
Not alone are young men averse
to getting married, but the average,
young woman knows that papa can
furnish more of the luxuries than
the young man who works on a sal
airy and she does not have the re-
sponsibility Of a household. The
young man who contemplates matri-
mony would like to support his wife
in a manner benefitting her station
or the station that she is aping
more often the latter-and he finds
that his income will not afford it.
"The average salaried man today
needs a helpmate and not a club
worker. He cannot afford. luxury
Of this kind, and the girl he would
marry does not care to become his
cook. Both may be right yet 1T keeps
them apart and that is: one Of the
reasons for such few marriage licen-
SEES being Issued.
:, THE high cost of living and the
additional expense occasioned by
the extravagant styles and social
requirements of both men and women
OF today is beyond the income of
most men, which fact is known to
the young woman and both are agree
that each keep along the path Of
single blessedness.
1t is more of an accomplishment
to grace a kitchen than parlor, for
it is smart woman who can success
fully manage that part of her house
hold. But the men Of today would
like an exclusive parlor manager but
cannot afford it, and the young wo.
men don't care to tackle the other
job. Time may readjust conditions sc
that two can live on what will sup
port one. Until then marriage will be
on the decrease.

WOMAN TWICE
TRIES TO DIE
FEARS OUTCOME OF DIVORCE
PROCEEDINGS
When Restrained from Jumping Out
of Fourth Story Window, Wife
Attempts to Stab Herself
with Hatpln

Fearing that the outcome of her in
tended divorce proceedings might not
be satisfactory to her, middle-aged
we'll dressed woman who lives on West
Thirty-ffth street attempted suicide
yesterday afternoon by trying to jump
from the fourth balcony of the Inter-
national Savings Bank building. When
restrained in this attempt the woman
seized a hat pin and attempted to stab
herself.
Her husband, who was nearby, came
to the rescue and succeeded in getting
possession of the hat pin after the
would-be suicide had made several in
effectual attempts to end her life.
No serious damage was done to the
woman but the hat pin was bent
nearly double. The woman was taken
to the office of DIR. A. p. Baird In the
International Bank building and given
treatment which quickly restored her
mind.
Husband 10th to Talk
The husband was 10th to talk of the
incidents that had prompted his wife
to attempt suicide, but admitted that
for more than two hours he and his
wife had been closeted with Deputy
District Attorney G.. Ray Horton in an
endeaVor to straighten out their matrl-
monial tangle.
The husband said he did not wish to
live longer with his wife. and Incl
dentally testified that his wife had once
before gone through divorce proceed
ings, which fact made him skeptical as
to his wife's real intention when she
was restrained from plunging from the
fourth floor of the International Bank
building.
Every possible effort was made to
keep the affair secret, but DR.. Baird
admitted last night that he treated the

have swept away all this suspicion,
why did they not call him here? The
defendant has taken the position that
he did not have to call witnesses and
should he discriminate, calling wit
ness on one issue and failing to do so
on another?"
Mr.. King undertook to tear down
every detail of the theoretical fabric
constructed by the prosecution.
where is the proof that Ruef ever
got this money from Ford?" he asked.
Gallagher did not even know the
amount. Where is the proof that the
money was put to the use you are
asked to believe? 1t may have been
in the affairs of the company that
cannot be disclosed to the knowledge
