That love laughs at locksmiths has
again been examplified The tri-
umph and climax of a romantic love
story was set in Bay ST. Louis Tues.
day afternoon, when Miss Annie
Morrison and Mr. Glenn Stuart, both
OF Schuba, Miss, were made man an6
wife after an exciting runaway from
Gulfport. The young couple present.
ed themselves at the parsonage of
the Main street Methodist church and
holding the proper credentials, stated
pastor, Rev. II. B. Urquhart, very
promptly and wisely made them man
and wife, and extending his blessing
and good wishes, sent them forth as
happy as two turtle doves.
The bride is modern Countess
Valleria. To thwart the consuma-
ton of the marriage, which generally
follows where two young hearts have
vowed to unite in wedlock, Miss Nor
rison's parents placed her in the con-
vent of Mercy, at Gulfport. from
which place she escaped the vigilence
of the good sisters, by means of plans
formulated and carried out by her
Intended. But all is not roses and
pearls on this mundane sphere. not
even where Cupid triumphs, and
from press reports it appears the
young man has gotten into trouble.
The Gulfport Record on Wednesday
contained the following article anent
the marriage and the unhappy
sequel:
A marriage at Bay st. Louis yes
terday was one full of romantic fea-
lures, and shows the futility of try
ing to circumvent union between
those united by the affinities.
The parties to this marriage were

Charles Adolphe Michel was
drowned Monday afternoon at Hen
derson's Point, off Bay ST Louis
This was the tragic end of a pleasure
sailing party of ladies and gentlemen.
The party left at a place near the
point in a small cat boat and sailed
around smoothly and as pleasant
ly as could be desired, and the pleas
ures of the party We're thus height
ened by the propitious weather.
1t appears from the best informa-
ton obtainable, it was desired to
turn the boat and in gibing the sail,
the boon struck out with a swftness
and much force that caused the craft
to careen over, and the party com
posed of a small numberof ladies and
gentlemen, were turned over and
precipitated into the water.
The party was gotten together as
quickly as possible and the word was
given to hang on to the boat. Young
Michel, apparently thought the boat
too small to sustain all above the
level of the water, struck out to-
wards the shore. Knowing how to
swim he made considerable headway,
when his cries of distress brought the
attention of those within hearing that
he was sinking. But he was already
too far away to receive succor, and
within the sight of the others he
sank for the last time. search
that evening for the remains proved
unavailing, but the following morn
ing at an early hour the remains
were found near the shore at Hen
derson's Point.
This was indeed sad and tragic
end to a pleasure party, but, IKE all
such occurrences, it happened all SO

Many Applicants for Position of Cir
cult Judge in the Field.

The term of office of Judge w. H.
Hardy, of the second judicial circuit,
expires on December 21st next, and at
present there are five applicants to sue
ceed him. These applicants, named in
the order of their seniority, are W. H.
Hardy, the present incumbent; w. U.
Evans, T. H. Barrett, l.. n. Saucler
and T. M. Evans, all of whom are well
known members of the local bar. None
of these gentlemen, it appears, is vol
untary applicant for this position,
pressure having been brought to bear
upon each of them by their respective
constituencies.
Judge Hardy has filled this position
for many terms, and, while he is now
far advanced in years, he is in full pos
session of his mental powers and shows
no evidences of physical decay. While
there is expected to develop later on
much activity as the time for the ap-
pointment draws near, still it is believed
no "muck raking" will be employed by
any of the various candidates.

The examinations of the scholastic
year at ST. Joseph's Academy, the we'll :
known institution Of learning Of this
city, took place last week and were
creditably passed by the pupils. The
term, in spite of the late opening, was
one of the most successful in the annals
of the Academy. Now, the students
have cast aside all fears and anxieties
and are directing their most earnest
efforts towards the success of the Bene-
fit Entertainment, to be given under
their auspices Tuesday, June 22nd, at
7:30 P. NJ. A drama, 'Joan OF Arc, %
adapted from Schiller's "Maid of Or
leans, will be rendered by the Seniors
of the Academy. The Juniors and the
Tots will appear in "Dream OF Fairy
laRdi', charming cantata. The pro-
gram to be presented to the public is
very interesting, and it is to DC hoped
that on the occasion st. Stanislaus Hall
will be filled to its utmost capacity.

The metropolitan Life
Insurance Company

For the information OF its army OF
pol,cyholders, the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, Of New York,
has issued statement of It's stand
ing at the end of the wear 1908. The
facts set forth show that this great
insurance organization continues to
carry more policies and to distribute
g,aater benefits among the whole
people than any other like institution
while its own resources gain steadily
in proper ratio TO It's increasing vol
ume of business.
The magnitude Of the COmpauy's
operations Is astounding To fully
understand the meaning Of the fig
ures dealing in totals for the year,
III Is necessary to bring them DOWN
to the smallest division of time For
example, the mind can scarcely COM
prehend the significance OF the state
ment that the total amCunt OF out
standing policies at the end OF the
years was 81 SCI $50 ,SO3, but we can
easily grasp the no less astonishing
fact THAT during the business hours
of every day in the year an aver
age of G,343 new policies were is
sued and paid for. Every day---taldng
the average for the year---44l per-
sons received from the Company the
Ifull value in cash of policies which
had been carried for their benefit.

Suggestive Questions or the Sunday School
Lesson by Rev. DR.. LnscOtt for the
international Newspaper Bible Study Club.

Stephen the First Christian Martyr
-,Acts vi;1 to Wii:3.
Golden Text-They stoned Stephen
calling upon God and saying, Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit. Acts vii:59.
Study Acts vi;S-l5; vll:54 to vili:3
Verse s.-who was Stephen?
In view of present day distinctions
would you call Stephen layman or a
clergyman?
Why Is It not a crime against the
gospel, that the preaching of the gos.
pei is so professionalism, that oui
pulplts today in the towns and cities
are practically closed to the laymer
of the church. so that even men like
Stephen have to keep SILENT in oul
church pulpits? CThis question is tc
be answered in writing my member
of the clubD
What was the secret OF Stephens
power as a preacher, and to what ex
tent may every layman become likt
him?
Verse 9-When In a community o
thoughtful men who oppose the gos
pei, can its claims be established bet
ter by debate than by ordinar!
preaching or defamation?
Verse 10.-lf you defeat an oppose
i'm a debate that is not likely TO con
vert him to Christianity; unless he Il
sincere seeker after truth, but. II
It likely to convert the hearers?
Verses III 11-13--What effect dit
Stephens victory have upon his op
ponents, and what effect did II prob
ably have upon the audience?
Is there any necessary moral valu
in mere opinion, and will men ever b.
condemned because of wrong doc
trines: l. e., wrong opinions?
When a man with right views o
truth, gets angry at the man witt
wrong views, and does mean thing
to him, that the latter takes witt
gentleness; which is likely to be tn
| better man of the two?
Why Is It that men who profess re
liglon, can act SO like devils, whei
new truth is presented to them as II
this case?

religious dispute, be depended upon

Newark Manager is Taking Every
Player in Sight.

Manager Davidson isn't letting any
grass grow under his feet, and he has
feelers out all over the country for
men that he thinks should be strong
players for the Newark club. At the
present time he Is after one or two
good men that would prove valuable
additions to the cluD, but it Is neces-
sary to keep their names "under
cover" until their contracts are
signed
"a partial list of players now under
contract is given below. Others are
signed, and many letters are on file,

is not merely executive ability, but
the ability to inspire and hold public
confidence that has counted most in
building up this greatest OF all insur-
anCe companies. Metropolitan Life
deals directly with the people. It's
policy from the beginning has been
one of entire frankness with the
people No man, however unused to
the making Of business contracts,
can fail to understand exactly what
are the terms of his contract with
the Metropolitan Life. Every promise
of the Company Is set down in
terms as ueuulle anu CledT us Lne
English language permits; every OBJ
l'gation of the policy-holder 10 the
Company Is equally plain. No in
Iflated premiums are collected for
estimated" benefits; every payment
to the Company represents the low
est cost of bona flde insurance.
Instead of leading it's polioy-hold-
ers to hope for more than they even
tually receive, the Company has vol
untardly taken a directly opposite
course. Within the past few years
il has distributed sums amounting to
nearly eighteen millions of dollars
among its policy holders in bonuses
in addith)nto what thepolices prom.
Used This has been done under nc
other obligation than a moral con.
wiction that the Company should
, hare its prosperity with thosn who
contribute toward IJs success.
The confidence and goodwill Sc
cured under this enlightened policy
, account for the fact that for flftee1
. consecutive years, including 1908, tn.
, Metropolitan Life has received more
| new business than any other insur
anCe company in the world.
