Miss Frances Livingston Of Boyd. who is
believed to have received more proposals
than any other woman in the world has
chosen Louis Struvans of Dorchester,
Wis for husband. This morning the
county clerk issued a marriage license to
them.
Miss Livingston October &, 1906. began
to advertise for a husband. She stated
that she was thirty-SiX years Of age and
good looking, and had farm in the town
Of Colburn and money in the bank at
Boyd. She maintained that if 1t became
a custom for women to advertise for huS-
bands there would be greater chances for
happiness in married life, because by this
means woman could get out of her mar
row home village city sphere and
scour the world for her affinity.
Miss Livngston's announcement was
printed in newspapers in all parts of the
United States and some of the Mexico,
Canadian and European papers also took
1t up. Consequently, proposals came from
men in every walk of life residing in two
continents.
December 81 she had received about
1000 proposals of marriage. She then
proceeded to classify and eliminate the
candidates and finally decided upon Mr..
Struvans. a prominent Dorchester man,
as her affinity.

RESOLUTION BY Mr.. GAINES
QUIET DIG BY THE SPEAKER

Tie right Of Gov. Lilley of Connecticut
to retain his seat as a representative in
Congress from that state was questioned
in the House of Representatives today
by Mr. Gaines of Tennessee.
Mr. Gaines contended that on recent
roll call Mr.. Lilley was recorded as abb
sent and yet he said Mr.. Lilley had been
sworn In as Governor of Connecticut.
From the headlines of the newspapers"
declared the speaker, 1.-The chair has no
ticed that there is some question as to
whether Mr.. Lilley is Governor OF Con-
necticut. but he added, You cannot al
ways believe what you see in the news
papers. and the chair has no official in
formation in the premises
Mr.. Gaines Resolution.
Mr. Gaines persisted in his point and
offered the following resolution as mat
ter of privilege:
Whereas George l.. Lilley. a citizen of
the state of Connecticut was duly elected
and qualified a member of the House of
Representatives of the siXtieth Congress
from said state, and
Whereas said George l.. Lilley was in
November last elected and on January g.
1909 duly qualified and entered upon his
duties as governor of said state; there
fore, be it
Resolved. Tat his name be stricken
from the roll, and that his seat in this
The majority leader, Mr.. Payne, New
York. at once was on his feet and moved
the reference of the resolution to the
committee on the judiciary.
Cited Precedents.
The Tennessee member further address
ing himself to the question, declared that
Gov. Lilley's duties as governor were in
compatible with those of a member of
the House. He cited several precedents
in which the House had acted along the
lines of his resolution.
In defense Of Gov. Lilley Mr. Higgins,
Connecticut, declared that Mr.. LilIey did
resign as member of the House: that he
resigned to his predecessor, Gov. Wood
ruff: that he had already qualified as gov
ernor. and that he was no longer a men,
ber of the House.
Replying TO a suggestion by Mr. Henry
of Texas that the newspapers had stated
that the retiring governor had declined to
accept the resignation, Mr.. Higgins said
there was no law of Connecticut which
required the executive to Immediately and
forthwith call special election to fill
vacancy.
Many Newspaper Articles.
There have been.'' he declared, "a
great many newspaper articles on this
and a great many other subjects in Con-
necticut.'
MIR. Payne asserted that the debate had
shown conclusively that the judiciary
committee was the proper body to con-
S;der the question. At the suggestion of
Mr.. Gaines, Mr.. Payne agreed that the
committee should be required to report
in ten days and, as amended by Mr..
Paynes motion to refer the matter TO
that committee, the resolution was unani-
mously adopted.
