 If the grand duke gained an exag- gerated idea of the prosperity of in dustrial employees in Connecticut, 1t was perhaps MT. Orcutt's fault. He had requested the young women of ance as possible. Some of them came in silk gowns, and really over did the matter a little, so that the officers of the company, who were making the tour with the grand duke almost tainted, it is said, when they saw the personnel of the factory in holiday att tire.
 The 'tgrass hopper machines, ,as they were called, which had long arms, had been decorated with flowers. AS the arms moved up and down they. gave the rooms the appearance of flower garden through which a re- markedly strong and wonderfully un- form breeze was blowing.
 Many of the facilities which the company now has and enjoys it owes to the far sightedness of MT. Orcutt, especially the ownership of much land in the neighborhood of the factory, Lake, and the industrial railroad. which runs to the reservation upon which the company's magazines are located.
 That the Union Metallic Cartridge Company, though a pioneer in its field, is young and vigorous, and compara- lively in it's infancy is indicated by the extensions which are being built to take care of future business One of these will be a landmark which will be perceptible for miles in all di- rections.

ton Brandenburg's attorney today
received notice that his client had
been indicted In Missouri on the
charge of enticing slittle Jane
Sheppard Cabanne III, away from
home.
Brandenburg took the little fell
low, who is son of his present wife,
to San Francisco when he was hid
Ding from the authorities. The
boy was with Brandenburg at the
time of his arrest. James Shep-
pard Cabanne ii took possession
of his son, after the capture of the
author, and 1t is supposed it is he
who swore to the indictment
against Brandenburg.
Requisition of Brandenburg has
been requested by the Missouri
authorities and he will probably be
sent there to stand trial as soon
as his present hearing on charges
of grand larceny in the second de-
gree Is completed. The present
hearing grew out of the sale by
Brandenburg of letters purporting
to have been written by Grover
Cleveland, to the New York Times
during the recent political cam
paign.
The Sunday editor of the Times
was called to the witness stand
in Brandenburg's trial yesterday
and testified that he purchased the
Cleveland letters from Brandon
burg. The articles containing the
letters was then read in court.

Then the long deferred marriage
was decided upon. Kelly ran
down from New York and the two
completed their arrangements. A
younger sister. Miss Gloria Ruiz,
was told of the arrangements. The
couple boarded an electric car at
the national capital and speeded
on to Baltimore without Mrs. Ruiz
knowing anything about 1t. On
arrival here they took an automo-
bile and went to the Court House
for marriage license. They went
to the residence of Cardinal Glib
bons. The Cardinal demurred at
performing the ceremony, as they
had no permission from the priest
of the parish In which they live.
Sister Reveals the Plot.
In the meantime Miss Gloria
Ruiz had informed her mother of
the plot and the two took an ex-
press train for Baltimore. They
hurried to the Belvidere and cal
led up the Cardinals residence by
telephone. The mother insisted
that the already halted ceremony
be stopped.
Soon she arrived. Miss Ruiz
and her fiance pleaded long and
earnestly with her and finally
Mrs. Ruiz capitulated. The party
moved into the cathedral, the Rev.
John Stapleton performed the
ceremony, after which the Car
dinel pronounced the benediction.
The party went to the Belvidere
for luncheon, after which Mr.. and
