SUSAN WEBS - TITLE
Miss Henning of Philadelphia til
Bride of a French MARQUIS.

New York, Nov 9.-In the confident
hope that she will not share the un-
toward fate of her sisters who have
married titles, another American girl
is today looking forward to becoming
the bride of an imported nobleman.
She is Miss Susan b. Henning of
New York and Louisville and her in
tended is the Marquis Antoine de
Charette of France. The wedding will
take place Thursday, and not to-
morrow, as was announced in the
American newspapers. The bride will
receive presents worth a. kings ransom
from the noble relatives and friends of
the bridegroom. Miss Henning is a
daughter of James Williamson Henning,
who is prominent both in this city
and Kentucky.
The Marquis is, the son of General
Charette distinguished himself in the
Franco Prussian war and was at one
time commander of the Pontifical
Zouaves at the Vatican. He stands
high among the personages of Catholic
Europe. His mother was step-sister
of Henry V. of France, who, as a
child, reigned for a few hours, when
his grandfather, Charles X, abdicated,
in a vain effort to preserve the throne
to his line.
The mother of the Marquis was Miss
Antoinette Polk of Tennessee, niece of
President James Polk. He is twentyfour
years old and will inherit a plantation
in Tennessee from his mother From
his father he will succeed to the pos
session of some of the greatest art
treasures in France. -
James w. Henning is a member of
the New York Stock Exchange. Miss
Henning made her debut in society
two years ago. She is well known as
a whip, and has taken a prominent
part in amateur theatricals on several
occasions.
James W. Henning and his daugh-
ter spent part of the summer abroad,
where the engagement was announced
last July.

NAVY OF THEIR OWN
THAT'S WHAT THE CANUCKS
WANT; THE NEW MOVE.
Parliament Will Open at Ottawa on
Thursday; Lawmakers Are Gather
ing There; Legislation for the
Building of a Dozen Cruisers Is
Proposed; Expenditure of Twenty
Million Dollars Is Proposed.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. canadian law
makers are gathering today for the
session of parliament which will begin
Thursday and there is much discussion
of issues and policies. The usual sal
utes were fired today in honor of King
Edwards birthday, but there was no
popular observance of the anniversary.
Canadians cling to May "a, the birth
day of the late Queen Victoria, as their
popular holiday, and a proclamation
was recently issued making that date
the Official birthday of His Majesty.
Navy for Canada.
Among the legislators, interest is
largely conferred on the construction OF
a navy for Canada. 1t is said that
the proposed legislation will involve
the building of dozen cruisers, of the
Bristol class and destroyers of the
river type, and that nine will be sta
toned on the Atlantic and three on
the Pacific.
The amount of money which parlia-
ment will be asked to vote in the
way of capital expenditure will be
about $2O,O0OOOO There will be an
annual outlay for maintenance which
experts place at somewhere around
$3,OOO,OOO.
Request Loan of a Warship.
1t is probable that parliament will
request the British admiralty to lend
Canada an obsolete warship to be used
as a training ship for cadets and sail
ors who will in course of time man
the Canadian navy.
While no decision has been reached
as to where the new navy shall be
built, strong pressure is being brought
to bear upon the government to ask
parliament to consider the desirability
of expanding the whole sum to Can
ada under the supervision of British
experts lent to Canada for the pur-
pose. The new vessels will require at
least 5000 men to fill their compile
ments.
The title OF The measure will be the
naval defence act.

Captain Eslick of the United States
marine corps, with headquarters at st.

the local recruiting office, at room 2l9
Coughlan- Hickey building. The local

Hanemann, who were both detailed here
from Washington, ID. G.
Any men who are enlisted are to be
sent to League Island, Philadelphia,
Penn. The recruiting office will be
kept open all winter, and probably
longer. Already several applicants have
appeared, but those in charge were not
in position to receive them, and as
several were transients they could not
be held. The flag will arrive in few
days and will be hung out of the
window. All able bodied young men
who want. to follow life of adventure.

by joining the marine corps.

hours Of a rather bleak spring morning.
Opening the window. he heard a voice
call out of the darkness:

The surgeon dressed and found a trap
waiting to take him TO a farm two or
three miles away from the village. on
the way he asked a few questions about
the case he was 20 attend.
I'm afraid there is very little hope for
her, said the farmer. She's been ailing
now. you see, for ten years, and she's
getting pretty old as we'll"

hour to see an obviously not very valu-

claimed: why on earth don't you shoot
