leaders of society in other cities or the country figured on the list of guests.
 The ceremony unites the Gould fam ily with one of PhiladelDhia's wealth. lest and most aristocratic families and the match has excited comment as not able because Miss Gould chose to wed an American instead of one of the many titled Europeans who sought her hand. The bridegroom is banker. second son of MT. and Mrs. Anthony J. DreS- el, and only two years the senior O. the 19-year-old bride.
 Presents without number including al most everything conceivable from huge chests of silver to priceless jewels have poured into the Gould mansion on Fifth avenue. Out town guests arrived in numbers during the day and the last touches were given the elaborate ar engagements.
 Pink was the keynote color of the wedding decorations. 1t prevailed in the decorations of the Gould mansion and in the luncheon which preceded the marriage ceremony and which had been planned for the entertainment of the brides attendants, including her sis- ters, Miss Vivian and Miss Edith Gould. Pink also was the tint for the re- ception for tomorrow. The church was likewise decorated in keeping with the prevailing color scheme and presented @ beautiful appearance.
 The brides gown was of wtite satin charmeuse. cut in flowing princess lines. Thero was an overdress of white chiffon, embroidered with orange blos- soms and a long train. also embroid- cred with the conventional flower. The tulle veil. falling below the bottom of the skirt. was fastened with spray of orange blososms. The bridal bou- quet was orange blossoms and white roses.
 l The costumes of the bridesmaids and 1 the miad of honor were in delicate
 shades. The best man was the bride
 groom's brother. Armstrong Drexe,
 Miss Vivian Gould kept in direct at tendance upon her sister as maid of l honor. Miss Gould herself selected Bishop Scarborough of New Jersey tn

New lands sought to have the body con- verted into an executive body, but was unsuccessful.
 Ccntending in the same connection for more systematic effort in the improve ment of the important waterways, Sena- tor Owen declared that more than a hun dred streams mentioned in the bill are unknown to students o1 geography. He said that basic streams, like the Missis- sippi the Ohio and the Missouri, should E be improved in advance of their tribu- taries. He pointed out that the Arkansas river in Oklahoma is entirely unpro- vided for in the bill, while, he said, $1 800 GOO is to be expended on inconsequen- l. tial streams in New Jersey.
 MT. Burton replied that the New Jer- sey streams are not unimportapt Rae cocn creek being one of the New Jersey water courses to receive MT. Owens scornful attention, MT. Burton said that 1t amounted to one one-hundredth of the amount appropriated for the purpose if it developed a tonnage as large as that of the western river.
 Among the amendments was one by Senator William Alden Smith, authoriz- ing the waterways commission to make inquiry into the feasibility of a ship canal across the state of Michigan.

he would not consent to such judgment | The jury went into court to be instructed
 on this point, but Judge Lane simply cited the law on this issue. The twelfth juror was never satisfied and would consent to Judgment of only si0,0oO. The other
 eleven men in their statement declared
 that such a verdict was out of reason and | they decided to report a mistrial. Shortly after this the case was settled out of court for s1O.000, MT. VanHoose paying the costs and MT. Clabaugh be- ing placed in possession of the great mass of association letters upon which he
 based his case It is stated that the

 The Direct Buyers Journal Tn connection with the settlement of the noted grocers' suit and in view of asita- | ton of the question of the high cost or living, a publication which is being ed tied by MT. Clabaugh, and which has Just made it's initial appearance, is perhaps or | considerable interest to the public, and | iudginc from the nature of the contents the grocers themselves will find the mag l azine very readable. The journal Will De i published locally, but is not purely | local publication. It is said to be the only margarine of the kind issued in this country. The initial issue is one of So,0oo | copies. and is being distributed from one | end of the country to the other. It is neatly gotten up and contains much mat ter. in the way of fac simile letters bear ing on the recent trial, which is of great interest throughout the country.
 The Direct Buyers Journal proposes to fight high prices.
 In the prospectus and editorial declara-
 ton it has the following to say:
 wrhe Direct Buyers Journal will, how ever. as it's name probably suggests, es- pecially look after news and methods which may be of interest to grocers who are buying from first hands or who wish to do so. It believes in and will earnestly | battle for certain changes in the present | expensive method of distribution of food | products from manufacturer to consumer, | and unless all signs fail there will beat |
 no distant day-a marked and permanent change in the sales policy of many prom
 inent manufacturers or an inevitable
 change of buying policy of the direct buy
 CT who does not get square deal.
 "The Direct Buyers Journal firmly be-
 lieves that it can and will play no small
 part in fostering the spirit which will
 bring the manufacturer and manufacture
 ing iobber nearer the retailer and, there | fore, nearer the consumer, naturally to | the benefit of all three. It believes that l the better class of retailers, as well as the consumers, are waking up as to what
 is unquestionably a matter in whica they
 are directly and vitally interested. as well
 as the general interest from a public ane
 economic standpoint. To that end it will hunt out and handle with the utmost skill
 practicable all tho news that looks that way.

chain store, department store and semi jobbers are here to stay-the merchant who most economically and intelligently operates his business is surely going to be the most successful man of the fu- ture. and that this system above all things should apply to the distribution of the necessities of life is a fact accepted by the masses.
 Tt is true the aims and ambitions are ideal, but it is equally true they are thor oughly practical. They cannot be attained
 in a day, or even in months. but there
 will be a vigorous effort and steady pro
 gress in every state in the way of re- form-and legislation where neeessary-to
 bring about this change in the interest of
 the direct buyer and the consuming pub lie"
 A bill was recently introduced in Con-
 gress by a Pennsylvania representative
 having the same end in view as that out
 lined in the Buyers Journal It seems
 that fight is being made in Washington
 to eliminate the middle man in the groc-
 cry business, which Mr. Clabaugh has
 contended should be done if the cost of living is to be reduced. A widely distrib-
 uted trade journal, commenting on the
 proposed act, declares that if the law, which imposes q special tax on d business
 where goods are sold to a limited trade, is ever adopted the middle man will have to quit business.
 It is argued by men well informed in
 the matter that the cost of the necessities
 of life can be greatly reduced by cutting
 down the number of profits realized be-
 tween the time goods leaves the fac
 tories and the time they reach the con
 sumer. This argument gives the idea Of
 direct buying, for which the publication
 being issued by MT. Clabaugh will fight
 according to the statements in the pros pectus.
 Letters Are Reproduced l A great portion of the initial issue of the Journal is devoted to the reproduction of l letters bearing either directly or indirectly upon the recent litigations against the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association in Florida and in Alabama. All letters are i reproduced in fac simile cuts the orig l nal letters having been photograph Many of these letters have to do with the business affairs of the associatio during
 MT. VanIioose's presidency and tend to
 bear out MT. Clabaugh in his contentious | regarding the association.
 l An idea of the trend of this matter is given in an extract from letter from H. B. Goodridge of Norfolk Va who Is quoted as follows: They are selling
 groceries, and everyone knows in selling | them they sell at fixed prices The Direct Buyers Journal will be is-
 sued monthly. It has offices on the fifth
 floor of the Empire building.
