left Spring Lake several days ago, os-
tensibly for their st. Louis home. At
that time II was given out that after
stormy interview with Rowland
Mrs O'Brien had become reconciled
TO the marriage, and that Rowland
was to follow them to St. Louis.
The story that Rowland met Miss
O'Brien in the West while travelling
as a salesman for Philadelphia COM
pany is said to be untrue. Miss
OBrien has another year to complete
her course Of study in convent,
which her mother is anxious she shall
do.
The bride Is said never TO have seen
or heard OF Rowland until she went
TO Spring Lake this summer. The
Audenreid cottage. which the O'Briens
occupied, is on the beach near the
bathing grounds, and Rowland and
Miss O'Brien were thrown into each
others company, and were together
much of the time without the knowl-
edge of either her mother or guar
dian, James McKeon. She has not
been with Rowland since the day of
the marriage.

STILL WAGE WAR
ON CONSUMPTION
ANTI TUBERCULOSIS SOCIETY TO
HOLD NOTABLE CONFERENCE
HERE IN DECEMBER
RICHMONDvA-sn,

r c II NJ o n ID, V A-Special.-
IL is the purpose of the State Anti
Tuberculosis Association to hold a Sc
ries OF notable meetings in this CITY
sometime i'm December-a two-days'
conference at which experts from
various sections of Virginia, as well
as eminent specialists, will discuss
consumption and the best way Of do
ing battle with the great white
plague"
The date for the conference will he
selected with the idea of having it
attended by the educators of the State
for IL is realized that the fight can
have no better auxiliaries than the
public schools. Delegations from the
many health organizations of cities
and counties will be invited to the
meeting and every effort will be put
forth to have the conference of a prac-
teal nature.
The executive committee of the
State Anti-Tuberculosis Association
expects to arrange for the annual
meeting of the association during the
conference on tuberculosis, and this
Will attract a large number of dele
gates from all over the State. The
work Of the association, which has
been progressing rapidly since it's or
ganization about a year ago, is re-
ported to be in excellent condition
and it is expected that the coming an
nual meeting Will authorize new plans
and new expenditures which will make
il even more valuable to Virginia.
A number of people interested in
tuberculosis work are already agita-
ting the erection of new buildings at
the Catawba Sanatorium under the
auspices of philanthropic bodies and
civic societies. 1t is pointed out that
such buildings can be erected at small
cost, and can be used in connection
with the States work at Catawba
much more cheaply than if the cities
attempted to erect separate sanatoria
for the treatment of incipient tuber-
culosis. This will doubtless be one
of the most important questions to be
discussed at the conference, and a
definite policy in this respect will
likely be agreed upon.

MEMORIAL HOME
FOR COL. M0SBY

BALTIMORE, Md Special A
movement has been started by DR..
James w. Wiltshire for the erection
OF memorial home for Colonel John
S. Mosby, the guerilla chieftain of
the Confederacy, among the surviving
members of his brigade. and substan-
tial sums already have been pledged.
The house probably will be erected
at Charlottesville. Va, and will be
absolutely at the disposal OF Colonel
Mosby.
A similar project was suggested by
DR.. Wiltshire few years ago, but
was not considered feasible. Now,
however, the recent loss of his gov
eminent position by the aged veteran,
together with his increasing infirmi-
ties and limited means, has called the
remnant of his former command to a
final rally around him. 1t is also an
ticipated that additional aid will come
from Colonel Mosby's admirers out
