THEODORE, JR.. TO WED.
Oldest Son of Former President En-
gagged to Miss Eleanor Alexander

Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., oldest son
of the former President of the United
States, has won the hand of Miss Flea
nor Butler Alexander, daughter OF Mrs
Henry Addison Alexander of ~ West
Forty-seventh street, New York. Their
betrothal was announced by the mother
of the bride-to-be. The wedding, which
is to be celebrated on an elaborate
scale, will be deferred until the arrival
in America of the bridegroom father
next June.
The announcement came as a sur
prise TO even the close friends of the
couple, for recently young Mr.. Roose-
welt has been attending strictly to bust
ness, and so he has had small opportun-
ity for those social excursions in which
he might meet the young lady.
Teddy Junior" as his friends call
him, is slightly more than % years of
age. Since he was graduated from
Harvard in 1908, taking the four years
course in three and graduating with
high standing, he has been at work IN
the factories of the Hartford Carpet
Company at Thompsonville, Conn, just
outside the State capital He has been
thorough and diligent in his work and
his trips to New York have been few
and far between.

might give rise to misconceptions, and

But Mr.. Fairbanks finally declared
that. although he was animated by a
strong desire to pay his respects to
the head of the Catholic church. whose
followers had played such an impor-
tant part as good American citizens,
he could not withdraw from his prom

the year, when buyers are gathering
at the leading markets in preparation
for the opening of the spring cam

Reports of buyers being numerous
but of buying being conservative come
largely from the leading northern and
central western markets. Fears of .

SCARCITY CAUSE Of

GREATEST DECLINE IN HOGS
Last Years Aggregate Meat Ship
ments from Chicago Is the Low

One contributing cause TO the high
price of meat, according to a report
of the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, is the fact that live stock re-
ceipts for the year 1909 at seven lead
ing interior markets of the United
States were the lowest since 1904. The
live stock receipts for the year 1909 in
these markets aggregated 39,545,725
head. The receipts of hogs for the
last year fell off particularly. For each
of the four years previous to 1909 the
hog receipts had been in excess of
100000 head, totaling more than
22,000,000 in 1908, falling to 1884, Gal
last year
Cattle receipts for 1909 in these mar
kets. 9.1s9,312. while comparing favor
ably with those of the previous year,
fell below the totals for the three years
before 1908. Sheep fell below those in
1905 to 1907, but compared favorably
with 1908. Receipts of hogs at the
Chicago market for 1909 show a de-
crease 'of 1,627,074, as compared with
the year before. or decline of 10 per
cent, receipts at Kansas City decreased
II per cent, receipts at Omaha II per
cent, at ST Joseph % per cent, while
the decline at st. Louis was only 4
per cent
While the total number of cattle re-
ceived at these seven principal mar
kets was larger than the year before,
the 1909 cattle receipts at Chicago, 81
929,S05 head, fell below the 100000
mark for the first time since 1902.

THE volume of solvent payments

mands for finished factory products is

SHIP SINKS; 1856 DIE
NEAR M|N0RCA REEFS
The Transatlantic Liner General
Chanzy Is Wrecked in the
Mediterranean.
ONLY ONE PERSON ESCAPES.
French Steamer Helpless in Worst
Storm in Years-No Amer
leans Aboard.

Driven helplessly from her course,
in one of the widest storms that has
swept the Mediterranean Sea in forty
years, the French Transatlantic
steamship Company's steamer General
Chanzy crashed at full speed, in the
dead OF night. on the treacherous reefs
near the Island of Minorca, and all
but one of the 157 souls on board per-
ished.
Inc sole survivor is an Algerian Gus
toms Official, Marcel Rodel, who was
rescued by fisherman and who lies
in the hospital at Ciudadela raving as
a result of the tortures through which
he passed and is unable to give an ac-
count of the disaster.
in the ships company there were
elghty-seyen passengers, of whom
thirty were in the first cabin. The
crew numbered seventy 1t is not
thought that any Americans were on
board the liner. The ship was in COM
mand of Captain Cayol, one of the
most careful officers of the line. In
his long experience he had never be-
fore met with an accident. He had in
tended TO retire from the service in
the near future.
The passengers Of the Chanzy were
mostly French officers and officials re
turning 10 their posts in Algeria, &C
companied by their wives and chill
dren; few soldiers, some Italians
and Turks and one priest. The only
Anglo-Saxon names on the passenger
list were Green and Stakely. They
were members of an opera troupe OF
eleven which had been engaged to sing
at the Casino in Algiers.
The Chanzy is a total wreck. Among
the victims was the celebrated Paris
ian music hall singer, Francis Dufor,
as well as other prominent music hall
favorites.
The General Chanzy struck at 900
O'Clock at night after Captain Cayol,
with all his experience, had been un-
able to cope with tie tempest OF al
most unprecedented violence. other
ships in the neighborhood had safely
ridden out the storm, but the Chanzy
fell prey to the elements. was lifted
OFF her course through the Balearic
archipelago and brought up on the
coast of Minorea ia the vicinity of
Ciudadela. Fishermen at daybreak
picked up Rodel clinging to piece of
wreckage.
The French consul at Ciudadela re-
ports that large numbers of bodies are
floating at sea. but that the storm con-
tinues, making impossible their re-
covery. The hull of the steamer is said
TO bear evidence that an explosion,
probably OF the boilers, occurred.
