While the iangle of the June wedding
bells is heard through the length and
breadth of the land. an ominous quietude
pervades the broad streets OF the Ma
tional Capital Dan Cupid, who elsewhere
is working with a nonchaiant disregard
for the eight-hour law, dozes lazily in
the parks Of washington and cObwebs
ara spun across his brow, and his CULVER
IS still full Of darts. With tens of thou
sands of marriageable women hanging
like fruit on the low branches ready for
the plucking. there is a quietude through
out the orchard.
For there is a man famine IN the region
OF the Capitol dome. Washington has be-
come a city of women Full 10 the brim
is she with women who are the selected
fttest Of all the States. There is a con-
spiracy OF circumstance that causes all
these TO congregate in The Capita! City
Yet there Is a similar conspiracy that
keeps the man away and sends those
seurrying who fni themselves here for
a while. The result is a gradually in
creasing discrepancy in numbers as be-
tween the sexes.
Men Are Exterminated
Some years ago reports came from the
South Pacific of an island inhabited by
lusTous-eyed Amazons with never a man
among them. War between two rival
tribes had resulted in a battle 10 the
death of all the male inhabitants The
women awaited with what composure
they might summon the coming OF the
male creature from the great outside
Such a condition exists to-day in Wash

and they enjoyed an unprecedented popu-
larity Such condition to-day exists in
washington, the Nations Capital.
For the census figures show that there
are 10000 mora mature women in Wash

married. AS matter of fact, there are
$4,000 eligible women In Washington
without mates. The largeness Of this
number can be explained by a psyche
logical study OF the male government
clerk, who is shown by the census fig
ures not to be a marrying man. Civil

out OF three in the government service
remains single for life

LAKE CITY, Ia. Nov. 2o.-CSpecial.)-
Chris Van Raden, aged IS years, a farmer
residing six miles south Of Lake City, died
Saturday afternoon from the effects OF
accidental injuries received Thursday. He

The explosion shattered the can into frag-

day, after being unconscious most Of the
time since the accident. He leaves wife,

elopement from becoming public, and II
was not until November 4 that It was
known. A reward of $1,000 offered by
Mr.. BlaisdeI caused the exposure. In
the meantime detectives in Europe ana

VIM. DEAN HOwELLs' TRIBUTE

Deceased Author Believed in Taking
Life of Christ as Precept.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-William Dean
Howells paid the following tribute to
Count Tolstoi:
Il think he was a very great man and a
very good man-perhaps the greatest and
the best of his time. In a sense there is
nothing to add to that and, moreover,
have written Of what Tolsto has meant to
me in my literary career. The fact that he
is dead now does not alter the significance
Of his work and OF himself.
And yet, perhaps this dramatic, this
painfully terrible dramatic end, may call
for something more than 1 have already
said. It is true that Turgeniev once ad-
vised Tostoi to stick to his writing and
forget his theories OF conduct but IL is a
mistake to consider Tolstoi the man and
the creative artist as two separate emit
ties that may be divorced from each other.
Whoever attempts to divorce art and life
makes a grave error.
''Tolstoi was a realist in art and IN life.
It is perhaps difficult to estimate what his
influence has been on contemporary hu-
mainly. but should say II has been very
great He believed in taking the life Of
Christ for an example, for a precept-not
the dogmas of the schools. and that seems
to be the tendency Of the younger Chris
tianity.
