Hundreds who will register will not
depend upon the drawing for piece

MARJORIE GOULD.
TWO NoBLEMEN SEEK THE HAND
OF THE DAUGHTER OF
GEORGE GOULD
One IS KIN OF THE CAR
AND.THE OTHER WILL HAVE THE
PRESTIGE OF AUSTRlA'S
EMPEROR

London, Oct. 9.-Two noblemen of
the blood royal, one kinsman Of the
Russian Car, the other backed by the
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria,
have opened formal negotiations with
George Gould as suitors for the hand
of his daughter, the winsome Miss
Marjorie. One is Francis Joseph,
brother of Prince Miguel of Braganza,
who recently married Miss Anita Sc
wart
The other Is Prince Alexander
Georgievitch Romanowski, who is also
Duke of Leuchtenberg. Both are pre-
pairing to visit America to lay their
hearts and titles at the feet OF the
young heiress, who on her recent trip
abroad is said to have turned half the
coroneted heads of Europe.
If ever an American girl lived in a
real fairy story it is Miss Marjorie
Gould. But the two knightly courtiers
who ask the right to make her a prin-
cess, have yet to obtain the sanction
of father who can never be blinded
by the glitter of coronets or the fame
of titles. George Gould, it is UNDER
stood, received the overtures of the
rival mobiles with the courtesy which
the royal backing demanded, but no
word of encouragement is known to
have been given by him The recur-
rent troubles of his sister, the form
er Countess de Castellane onw Princess
de Sagan, could not help but make
him refuse his consent without abso-
lutte assurance of his daughters
future happiness.
MISS MARJORIE MUST DECIDE.
But after all it is Miss Marjorie who
must decide.
According to advices from Paris a
representative of Prince Francis JOS
eph of Braganza made the formal APP
plication to Mr.. Gould while the fam
lily was in that city last month pre-
~
de Berelle, we'll known French aris-
tocrat, undertook the negotiations. He
wrote to Mr.. Gould at the Ritz, asking
an appointment for an interview, and
they met before the Goulds sailed for
home. Baron de Berelle produced evil
dence that the princes suit was back
er and encouraged by the Emperor
Francis Joseph, who is godfather OF
the young man
The baron also gave assurances that
Miss Gould would be made a princess
of the Austrian court-the highest
court in Europe.
Mr.. Gould is said to have inquired
about the settlement that might be
expected and the baron to have diplo-
matically replied that the first thing
was for the young people to meet and
see if they were congenial; the settle
ment could be discussed later He is
now arranging to make trip to the
United States. His attorney said the
princes ambitions were being sup
ported financially by man in London

TREES ALONG HIGHWAYS.

One Of the results that has followed the agita-
ton for the conservation of national resources
and the preservation and restoration of our forests
is to be in the action of the legislature of the
state of Maryland in authorizing and requiring the
commissioners in the several counties Of the state
to plant trees along the highways of the state Be
sides the conservation Of national resources and
the carrying out in a small way of the suggestion
Tor reforestaton. there is also promotion of the
good roads movement for a good road is better
road if its sides be lined with shade trees to shelter
travellers along the highway. both man and beast.
1t is planned TO spend some S4.000000 on the state
roads of Maryland under the direction of the state
road commission. and the law under which the
money will be spent provides not only for the prop
building and repairing Of roads under their con-
troll, bat also that the commissioners shall cause
suitable shade trees to be planted thereon if prac-
tcabe, and may establish and maintain watering
troughs upon said highways" Under the statute
the state forestry commission is preparing report
for the benefit of the road commissioners upon
what varieties Of trees best adapted for the pur-
pose, dealing especially with the more hardy trees
in the knowledge that the trees once planted will
last for many generations.
The 100000 which it is planned to spend on
Maryand's highways is not half the cost of a first
class battleshp. but there be no doubt that if
the money will be iudciously expended the roads,
well built, well kept and tree-sheltered will be a
source Of profit, comfort and delight long after the
battleships Of the day will have been reegated to
the class Of "has-beens.' The watering troughs
which it is intended to have established along these
state roads is another institution which will furnish
comfort to travellers, for even in a country where
water is plentiful it frequently happens that in
order TO get a drink for himself or his horse.
traveller is compelled to stop at some friendly farm
house or make detour to some well-known water
ing place. Good roads are needed everywhere.
but the Maryland idea of roads with trees and wa
tering troughs is worthy of emulation and the peo-
pie of the state are to be congratulated.

up occasionally to seemingly justify ever-lncreaslne

Some day the good people of the world will see

be settled by arbitration and that the cost OF war
preparedness is one which be eliminated from
the economies of national life without in any way
affecting national integrity. As it is now. II one
nation builds warships of the Dreadnought type,
other nations must do likewise, and no good Is ac-

AND PEACE REIGNS.

When Great Britain produced the type of war
ship known as the Dreadnought, she set new
standard by which the navies of the world were
| to be measured. 1t is now understood among naval
experts that the relative strength of navy depends
| upon the number of available ships of the Dread
nought class. Great Britain built the first one and
Immediately her magnificent naval establishment
became obsolete. With the building of the first
vessel of that class, other nations took it as model
and began building Dreadnoughts too Germany
insists on building modern warships. and the other
nations of the world cannot afford to he without
them. Mr. Balfour, the leader of the opposition in
the British parliament has made the wonderful
discovery that now it is question mot of main
tanning tWo-power standard. but of maintaining
one-power standard in firstclass ships" In other
words, the proud position of Great Britain as mis-.
treSs OF the seas, with navy numbering twice the
ships OF any other power, is reduced to a plane of
equality England cannot hope to maintain t1r;ca
as many Dreadnoughts as Germany for it is the ba
lief that Germany can build at many az England
herself, and hence bids fair to become the eouol ;f

NEW Y0RKS NEW BRIDGE.

Another new bridge across the East river from

public on the first of the month The reports say
there were no less than 10000 persons on foot
swarmed across the new structure within two hours
sitter the sgeHIBg. sB8 thgf SIS almost constant
stream Of vehicles and pedestrians has rolled across
the structure ever since.
his IS the third bridge to span the East river.
The Brooklyn bridge was the first. 1t was opened
to traffic in 1888, it having been under constr7lc-
ton Tor thirteen years When it was built it was
considered one of the wonders of the world The
second was the williamsburg bridge, opened twenty
years after the first. in 1905 The construction ne
rod Of the Williamsburg bridge was only seven
years. and the structure cost $2ooo0Ooo. or about
S5.OOoOoo more than the original Brooklyn bridge
The Greensboro bridge, so called because il con-
meets Manhattan with the borough of Queens. was
SIX years IN building and cost about the same as
the Williamsburg bridge.
When the feasibility of bridging the East river
was demonstrated the city of New York struck her
stride and she grew rapidly, spreading out over the
wide fields of Long Island and New Jersey until
the Brooklyn bridge entirely insufficient to ac
oommodate the crowds. Indeed the ferries were
never seriously hampered by the bridge. They were
simply relieved Of traffic they could not satisfac

possible to go under tho river rather than over it.
It is probable that not many more bridges will be
built The great city Of New Ior will henceforth
