One of the most interesting mar
riages of the autumn in England will
me that of Miss Marjorie Cunard and
Robert Harcourt Although no titles
are involved, there is sufficient wealth
and commercial influences in both
families to atone for the lack of a
handle" The wedding is set for next
week and will doubtless be witnessed
by many leaders of society in both
England and America. Miss Cunard
is connected with so many well-known
Americans, including Mrs. Lulu"
Harcourt, Mrs. Ernest Cunard and the
Hon. Robert Grosvenor, that the we'd
ding will be of considerable interest
to Americans.

Piracaeus. The rebellion, for the
time being at least, is at an end.
The last of the naval vessels in the
hands of the mutinous officers has
been recovered, the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Velos returning to the ar
senal Saturday evening. Lieutenant
Tibaldos, however, VINO was the
leader in the recent movement, is
still at large.
These is a general belief that the
government will connive in the es-
cape of Tibaldos and his companions
in order to avoid the embarrassment
their capture would entail. since the
government would not venture to ex-
ecUte them because they arc con-
nected with the highest families in
Greece. The cabinet council has de-
cided to try the other mutineers in
the ordinary courts.
Condemn the AIutiny.
All the newspapers condemn the
mutiny and demand exemplary pun
ishment of the ringleaders.
Several of those closely identified
with the political situation did not
attempt to conceal their apprehen-
sions concerning the future when in

luton of tie crisis is for the king
to invite the military league to form

THE BOMB SEASON
OPENS AT CHICAGO
Two Missiles Exploded Within Few
Minutes in Windy City's
Gambling War.

Chicago. Nov. bombs SO and "a,
marking the renewal of the Chicago
gamblers warfare, were exploded last
night within 80 minutes of each other.
The first bomb was exploded in the
rear of the Empire building, at 2G0
State street, which houses the Empire
Whist club, operated by the Smith
Perry-Colby syndicate. The second
bomb was exploded in the rear of the
building at 10 Madison street, in
which Ed Wagner and Fatty" Woods
shelter their interests.
The two heavy explosions, coming
almost simultaneously, shook the great
buildings in the loop district and crea-
ted a panic all over the down town
district which has not been equaled in
recent years. From hotels, theaters
and buildings people rushed into the
street, the crowd continually growing
denser. reaching a point where the loss
of lives was imminent.
The two explosions marked the open
ing of the winter season in the Chi
cago gamblers war and put the solu-
ton of the bomb throwing up to Chief
of Police lie Roy T. Steward. 1t is

STHTE BAR FEASTS
THE SUPREME COURT
Function at Chicago Calculated to
Bring About a Better I'm
derstanding.

Chicago, Nov. 1-Seven supreme
court justices-the entire supreme
bench of Illinois-were guests of the
Illinois Bar association at a banquet
in Chicago Saturday night.
For the first time in the history Of
the state the highest court in the COM
monwealth accepted as a body an in
vitation from the bar to join with the
lawyers in festivities.
Laying aside their judicial robes,
the supreme court justices, Chief JUS
tice William H Farmer and Associate
Justices Frank K. Dunn, AIonzo K.
Vickers, James H Cartwright, John P.
Hand, Orrin N. Carter, and the latest
recruit to the supreme bench, George
A. Cooke, broke through the barriers
that in ordinary intercourse separate
them from the members of the bar and
mingled with them in a spirit of fra
ternity
It was the object of the Illinois Bar
association to engender a better un-
derstanding between the men who rep
resent the highest legal power in the
state and those who are daily called
upon to invoke their aid as umpires
in their professional controversies, and
in this undertaking they found the
justices not unwilling to assist them.

Chicago, Oct. 3O.-The expense cf
operating the corporate end of Chi
cago's municipal government has ad-
vanced amazingly in the last four
years. The aggregate expense in 1895
and 190G-the last two years of demo-
cratic rule-was $26,615,143. For 1907
and 1908, republican years, the aggre-
gate was s43, ,766,312, an increase Of
SO per cent during the first two years
of Mayor Busse's administration.
There is nothing to criticise in IL
creased municipal expenditures in

the expense must grow. 1t will be re-

in attendance upon the meeting of the
western section of the Northern Illi-
nois Teachers association.
They report a very excellent meet

WHAT HAS CAUSED CHICAGO'S
EXPENSES TO MOUNT SO FAST?

we get good hint. In 1906 that de-
partment spent in round figures 49,
100000; in 1908. $5,400,000. While
spending $1,G00,000 more in 1908 than
in 1906 the increased police protection
amounted to but 145 men, whose sal
aries do not aggregate one-tenth of
the big increase.
Mayors Office Sample.
If one would expect, to find economy
any place the mayors office would DE
the first spot to investigate. But it is
a stranger there. The total expense
of the Office in 1905 was $19,7 ,72S; IN
1s0S, $3S, S,239!-nearly double.
In 1905 he total number of city en-
ployes was 1862, and the payroll,
s1O.G90,4 ,433; in 1908, city payroll bri-
gade increased to 14,745, and payroll
to $16,9S4,475
These figures. taken from the an
nual report of the city controller. just
issued. show an ARMY of 1000 en-
ployes added to the public crib. 1t
will be noticed that the salary roll
has increased S6,000.0o0. That is in
average of $1,000 year for each man.
Whatever Mr.. Busse's qualifications
as a business" mayor may be, he has
been a great executive from a political
viewpoint. He has built up a power
full republican machine. But what a
lot of Chicago's good money he has
burned up in doing it.
