tion of remaining single unless he can wed the girl he loves.
 Mrs. Ricardo de Acosta, who recently returned from Europe with her daugh- ters, Miss Angela and Miss Mercedes de Acosta, has announced the engagement of Miss Angela to William c. Eewall of Boston. Miss de Acosta is sister of Mrs. Philip M. Lydig, Mrs. Oren Root and Mrs. A. Robeson Sargent. Her fance is a son of the late William B. Sewall of Boston. He Is a Harvard graduate and recently returned from a hunting trip to Africa. The wedding will take place on November 15 at the home of the brides mother, and the couple will leave shortly after for South Africa.
 It is said that the winter in town from a social standpoint will be brilliant this year. Forecasts of society events are usually optimistic, but in this case there seems to be grounds for the prediction The season certainly will be a long one, as Lent does not begin until March 1 and the opera opens November 14.
 The present arrangement of consoli- dating grand opera at the Metropolitan will result in brilliant audiences, as the ranks of society will not be divided be- tween two houses as heretofore. Light operas at the Manhattan however, al- ready Is meeting with distinct success, and the scheme seems sure to meet with the stamp of society's approval. Not that such seal Is altoget1uer necessary, however, as the large audiences assem- bling there nightly ever since the open Ing testify.
 Just at present society is In a migra- tory and unsettled state. October Is de- lightful in the Adirondacks, the Berk- shires and the White mountains, while those who go each year after the New port or Bar Harbor season to the Hot Springs of Virginia are already estab- lshed in their favorite resort. There have been more than several scores of those we'll known in the fashionable world who have gone across the ocean for brief visit. to select chiffons and clothes in Paris and to have week or more at one of the popular Spas or Bads.
 MT. and Mrs Robert Roosevelt, who are spending the fall at their country place at Sayville, Long Island, expect to take possession of their new house In Washington this winter. They will prob ably spend the early winter abroad and return to Washington in January.

A SUICIDE PACT
FATAL TO GROOM

New York, Nov. "A suicide pact
entered into by respondent young
couple on the upper West side of the
city and carried into at least partially
successful execution, was revealed
when relative of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Torrea broke into their rooms ayester-
day afternoon. Torrea was found
dead in bed and his young wife, par
TALLY overcome by gas and wound in
her left wrist, was calmly waiting for
her life to end. When Mrs. Torrea
was revived at the hospital, to which
she was taken a prisoner, she said
that the knife wound had been in1ict-
ed by her husband in the carrying out
of a suicidal agreement they made
this morning. She told the police that
her husband had first cut a deep incis-
ion in her left arm and then slashed
his own right arm. He turned on the
gas and they both calmly lay down to
await the end. The Torreas were
married only few weeks ago.

GENERAL STRIKE
IS IMMINENT
All Drivers, Transfers And Men OF
Allied Occupation Threaten To
Join In Express Strike.
lBl Associated Press.l

New York, Nov. 2.-Threats Of a
general strike Of all drivers, team
sters and men Of allied occupation
hung over the city today as a result
of the failure of the express COM
panies and the striking employees to
come to terms.
The exercise of authority to call a
general strike which was conferred
last night on general officers of the
teamsters by the executive council of
the Brotherhood would affect about
thirty thousand men.
Announcement of the order that
policemen hereafter shall not ride on
express wagons for their protection
seemed to have pacific effect, how.
ever, for the moment at least. Mount.
ed and bicycle policemen were or
dered to accompany the wagons.

ABSENCE OF ATTORNEY
SAVES Negroes NECK

Magnolia, Miss, Nov. I'm the case
of Senry Kelly, negro, who was con.
victed of the murder of Thad Magee,
near Tylertown, last summer, and who
was given the death penalty, and the
date of execution fixed for December 9,
Judge Miller granted a motion for a
new trial Monday.
1t appears that through some mad
vertency the negro's attorney was not
in the court room when the county at.
torney began to argue the case, and as
this would have been held reversible
error by the supreme court, Judge
Miller granted the motion. The negro
then entered plea of guilty and was
sentenced to life Imprisonment.

appearance at the time of the notori

who was chief statistician of the de.

five years ago. Hyde declared his for.

in view of the fact that it is said Hyde

odd game in the Athletic Bowling League
last night. while in another series Mont
clair sprang q surprise by winning two on
TIE New York Athletic Club alleys AS the
matter now stands Elizabeth continues to
lead, with a record of twenty-seven games
won and fifteen last, only a game each
way better than Roseville.
Although New York had its champion-
ship aspirations shattered the local FIVE
at least had the satisfaction of chalking UP
a new high total for this league This was
OF. made in the last game when the
team was charged with only three missed
spares, all of which were pick-outs The
team scored 557 pins in the first half and
534 in the last five frames.
New York had no luck in the second
game, which was lost after tie Both
sides totaIed $50, but on the roll-off Mont
clair won, es to So. Had Roberts not fouled
in the last frame New York would have
won.
Neither Roseville nor Eliza beth rolled
quite UP 10 their standard. Always in
front in the first game, the visiting team
started down the tenth box some twenty
five pins to the good, an advantage which
was easily maintained, the totals reading
