Young Couple
Made Happy
AT Altar

A quiet wedding. not lacking in
the elements of romance, occurred
last evening at the parsonage OF st.
Bartholomew church, Rev. g. G.
Hunting officiating. when Miss Ida
Stewart and Varo Willard were unit
ed in the bonds of matFimony.
In attendance were Mr.. and Mrs.
James Bennett. Mrs. Bennett being
a sister of the bride. who has been
her guest from Rochester, n. Y,
since last fall and during the time
has made a great many friends in
the district who will learn of her
wedding with surprise as well as the
extension of hearty we'll wishes.
The groom arrived in the city on
Monday evening last from his home
in Eimira, n. Y. The wedding soon
thereafter was the elimination OF
courtship of long standing in the
east where he had concluded that
life was not worth living alone. Since
his arrival here he has concluded
that the district affords very large OPP
portunities and is desirable to remain
with, particularly when ones bride
prefers it to the east. In conse
quenee the young couple will remain
here to make their home. Mr.. Millarc
probably engaging in business here
a little later.

Further mystery was thrown into
the situation by discovery that the

FEWER IDLE CARS.
Surplus March II Was 291,418, or 8507
Less Than on March 3.

New York. March 29,-American Rail-
way Association figures on surplus cars
show 29l AS cars March II. compared with
299 925 on March 3, Il decrease of 1901.
This is the most considerable improve
ment since the fortnight ended Feb. ,, in
which the decrease was 10000. The two
succeeding fortnightly reports indicated
decreases of about 1000 cars each.
Idle coal and gondola cars decreased
1899. while box cars increased 1880
changes of minor degree taking place in
other classes. Whereas for a month prior
to March 3 idle coal cars had been in
creasing rapidly and box cars decreasing.
both movements turned in the opposite
direction during the first half of March.
The reason is found in greater use Of coal
Delaware. Maryland and eastern Penn
sylvania. AS the period covered was not
one of particular industrial revival, it is
to be presumed that the greater demand
for coal cars represents freer movement
of anthracite to market. under the I'M
certain labor conditions in that industry
and the impending annual reduction OF
80 cents Il ton April !.
In western Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, etc. surplus of coal GAYS m
o479 less. In Illinois. Iowa, Wisconsin.
Minnesota and the Dakotas, coal and box
cars both increased. the former 1908 and

ON White HOUSE LAWN.
"First Cow Of Land Has Permission
to Craze Where Grass is Greenest.

Washington. March 31.-There has
appeared on the White House lawns a
splendid specimen of Jersey COW which
grazel near the disused tennis court
and bathed itself in the sunshine
throughout the afternoon while
passersby looked on with establishment
or asked some of the policemen:
Where did that escape from? WHY
don't YOU drive her away?
why. that's the first COW of the
land" the policeman replied. and Ell
titled to all the courtesy and respect
which we policemen can shower upon
her. She belongs to Mrs Taft, Just
purchased from Lieutenant General II.
c. Corbin. and we have orders to give
her carte blanche and entree to the
most exclusive spots she can select
out here to Craze on"
The COW, which has not yet been
christencd. was purchased by MIS-.
Taft in order that the President S
family can be provided with milk scru-
pulously sanitary under all conditions.
In the daytime the COW will Craze on a
section of the White House lawn near
the stables, where Mrs Taft can Sc
it from the window at any time she
chooses.
The strictest care will be given to
hygiene conditions at the White House
and Mrs. Taft believes that pure milk
is one of the first and most important
essentials. Having the COW spend its
time in the stable or on the green
lawn adjoining it is part of the plan
to insure the COW n daily healthful
routine.

vailing conditions women, especially
weak women. are treated shamefully by
men in the car jam.
They desire the rear car of each eX-
