and means for impressing on con
gress the necessity of strengthening
the coast defenses.
Declaring that Congressman
James A. Tawney is the man respon-
sible for the present utter lack OF
preparedness to repel invasion, Con-
gresham Hobson, of Alabama, as
sailed the Minnesota representative
today. Tawney, he declared, had
misrepresented affairs in his public
utterances and was now preparing tn
fight the fertilization of the Panama
canal.
THE truth is.' Hobson said,
that Tawney has been misleading
the public in stating that. over 60
] per cent of the total revenues ofythe
government Were devoted to pur-
poses of war. He knew the public
would think that he meant the cur
rent appropriations for maintaining
the army and navy We're what he
intended, while as matter of fact
! the enormous total of the pension
bills was a part of the 60 per cent
"Tawney has fought every move
ment for developing the national
defense since have been in con-
gress and is now preparing 10 fight
The recommendation of the admin
istration to fortify the Panama
canal"
"Tawney Is responsible for the
present utter lack of preparedness
and naturally he will go to extremes
! to prevent the fact from becoming
known. His reference to patriotism
is almost puerile in saying a man is
a coward to admit that another man
could whip him. The strongest
man alive unarmed can be killed by
the weakest II the latter is armed.
Modern warfare is a contest IN
preparedness, not of resources. The
man who would leave HIS country's
welfare thus unprotected is either
superficial in knowledge or his pl-
triotism is blinded by personal inter
ests."

Bride Changed Her Mind.

From far Off Puckham. between the
prongs of the gently flowing Nanticoke,
comes a story of blighted hopes and
disappointed affection such as the
county of Dorset has rarely if ever,
heard of, and which certainly that sec
ton has never furnished before.
Stories of the affair differ in their
minor details as all stories will, but
the essential facts are, or seem to be,
that Miss Bessie II. Stanton, of the
Fork, had given her affections to Mr..
Ollie Thompson, of Hurlock, and that
they were to be married on Thursday
evening Of this week. In fact, all the
needed preparations had been made,
the bridal gown having been made
ready and the organist engaged and set
to practicing the wedding march.
The groom had furnished rooms in
Washington where they were to live.
Wednesday he reached Hurlock with
his license, wedding ring and flowers.
only to be told that his intended had
been married the evening before to
Mr.. Eugene Handy, of Reliance.
A correspondent writes that Miss
Stanton did not change her mind Tor
transfer her affections) until Tuesday
morning: that she spent Tuesday after
noon notifying her friends that her we'd
ding would not come off as planned, but
that she would not disappoint them,
as she would marry Mr.. Handy that
night. The wedding was solemnized
despite the fearful storm which came up
that night. Mr.. and Mrs Handy went
to Philadelphia for their bridal trip.
Mr.. Thompson takes his disapoint-
ment very good naturally. He says
that, though the flowers will not keep,
the ring and the rooms are not so perish
able and may do duty later on.
The license for the Handy-Stanton
wedding was issued on Tuesday to Mr..
Handy's father, Mr.. Thompson's was
taken out next day by Mr.. James
Thompson. The brides age was given
in both as 81. Mr. Handy's age was
given as 10. Cdmbstdge Baaper.

Half Acre Ice Cakes

Men who have seen the ice break up
on the Susquehanna river for the past
80 wears say that not once IN that period
of time have they seen them in such
gigantic cakes as it remained in after
the recent break.
Unlike the breakup in former years,
the ice this year was practically tioated
by the sudden rising of the river. and
not until after it began to move rapidly
did il divide.
Ice cakes fully half an acre in extent
rushed down the river in the swift tide
and were hurled against the new bridge
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The mighty abutments We're not Jared
by the terrible shock, but split the cakes
asunder and hurled the fragments high
in the air. The false work of the bridge
was snapped like matchsticks and was
washed down the stream with the first
of the flood. Never before in the mem
ory of men now living has the river
rose as rapidly or done as much damage
in so short time. Landmarks that have
stood on the banks of the river for half
a century We're swpt away in few
minutes, and even the very banks them
selves have been changed entirely.
Very little of the floating ice has
reached the bay, and the break-ups on
the various rivers are having little or no
effect on the steamboat lines. The Off
GERS Of the boats report that the ice is
broken small enough when 1t reaches
the bay 10 cause no trouble.
