THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.

His Grace, the Duke Of the Abruzzi
is finding that the course of true love
is running through difficult waters in
to the desired haven, If we may be
lieye the statements which are now
being cabled from Paris. II is no I'M
common thing for a European of rank
to marry an American woman. and
popular opinion to the contrary, these
matrimonial alliances frequently
prove happy, probably as happy as
those OF purely American sort. The
troubles over the desire of the Duke
to marry Miss Elkins are of sort to
stimulate interest in all those parts Of
the world where every lover Is loved
Opposition to the alliance has come
from the court circle of Italy. There
is nothing to prevent the Duke from
marrying any person he chooses as
did his father, who chose bride who
was not Of royal rank. The regning
house of Italy, which halls from Sar-
DINA, is not distinguished compared
with other houses Of great antiquity.
1t is believed that the Duke offered to
marry Miss Elkins and take any con-
sequences of high social ostracism
which might follow, but that she
wouldn't have it that way. If she were
to enter the royal family of Italy It
must be on a perfect social equality
and with a warm welcome. 1t is not
a question of money. tor the Duke S
rich. Moreover, he is no fledgling who
has a sudden passion for a beautiful
face figure and mind. He is of ma
ture years, has worked his way in
the navy up to the rank of admiral,
has pierced the polar region and made
a "Farthest North" and a "Farthest
up" on the Himalayas. He seems to
be every inch man.
Miss Elkins has fine perspective OF
life when she insists on the conditions
she has laid down. The King has cap
itulated-if the Paris stories are relia-
ble-even the Queen Mother Margha-
rita has assented, and If the Duchess
of Aosta, aunt of the Duke, has really
given in, there seems to be no fnrth-
er obstacle. Miss Elkins is a typical
American girl well educated, full Of
animal spirits and with a fine attitude
toward life. She is fit to be the queen
OF any kingdom, but she prefers to be
what she is-a good, sweet woman.
and the man who takes her must take
her as representative of the best
Observation-Disclosures Inquirer.

WILL NOT MARRY
DUKE OF ABRUzz|
Senator S. 3. Elkins Emphatically De-
nIes Runnors About His Daueh-
ter's Marriage.

Elkins, w. Va, Sept. S.-EmphatiC
denial is made by Senator S. b. FL
kins Of the rumors that he is lrepar
ing to go to Paris or that his daughter
Kathar ne Elkins,w marry the Duke
d'Abruzzi in February or at any other
time, or that his family is to be pre-
scented at the Italian court, or that his
daughter is to be made a countess.
With some impotence the Senator
declares that he has denied rumors IN
til he is worn out, and that he would
like to have it accepted as a fact that
there is no contemplated union be-
tween his daughter and the Italian
Duke
All these things We're denied two
years ago, and there is no more truth
in the rumOrs now han there was
then, when Senator Elkins declared he
would prefer that his daughter marry
an American.
The sole purpose, he says, Of the
European trip of Mrs. Elkins and Miss
Kathar ne Elkins is for their health
They have been going abroad each
summer for a number of years.
Since adjournment of Congress Sen
ator Elkins has been resting at his
summer home here, to which be retir
ed thoroughly worn out after the ar
duous laborers entailed in connection
with the management OF the Railroad
Rate bill in the Senate.

Subway Under 3. & o.

Councilman Oliver said that in view
of the daily complaint that pedes;ri-
ans and vehicles are held up for a
longer or shorter time by trans at
the B. & o. crossing on North Queen
street, and the delay and annoyance
incident thereto, council should take
some action looking TO the construc-
tion OF subway under the tracks at
that point He said that while the
proposition was not a new one nor
original with him. yet he thought the
present city council should go on re-
cord as having taken some advanced
and practical steps in the direction
indicated The city is growing fast,
he said and the necessity for sub
way or tunnel at the B. & o. crossing
is greater now than ever before, and
which will continue with increasing
force. He contended that a subway
was the only practical solution OF a
problem that has been confronting the
city of Martinsburg for years. and
that the time is now ripe for some
thing to be done to rid the people OF
what has become a nuisance and a
menace to life and limb. Council
agreed to take up the matter with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
in the near future.

In the matter of piece of ground
in West Stephen street near Raleigh,
claimed by Joseph H. Shaffer, which
had previously been referred 10 the
Board of Affairs for consideration, the
latter body referred it back to Council
claiming to have no jurisdiction in the
matter, Council then referred the ques-
ton to City Attorney Downey.
The application Of G. w. Schill, jr.,
for the transfer of his late fathers sa-
loon license to him was read. Some
discussion ensued as to the merits of
the application. The opposition to the
transfer of said license to the appli-
cant was based on current reports as
to the questionable character of the
Schill saloon. Mr. Schill was present
at the meeting and invited Council to
interview any OF the residents and bus
mess places as to the charges against
the saloon located at the corner of
North Queen and Race streets, assur-
ing council in advance that they would
deny any charges affecting the good
name of the place. When the question.
came to vote it was a tie, Council
men Wellinger and TrammelI voting
for the transfer and Councilmen Oil
yer and Smith voting against it. Mayor
Caskey cast the deciding vote with the
yeas and the application was granted.
The contract between the Steward
heirs and the City of Martinsburg for
the privilege of extending the water
mains through the Stewart lands in
the north section of town was read
ard approved.
A committee of three was appointed
to investigate the charges against Po-
lice Officer Mcdonald and report back
to council. Chief Rind suspended Off.
Ger Mcdonald for not reporting for
duty several mornings last week.
At the suggestion of the Board of
Affairs an ordinance was introduced
stipulating that hereafter all licences
be signed by the city auditor instead
OF the city recorder as at present. Re
ferred to the ordinance committee.
The Board of Affairs reported IN
writing that electric lights were being
put up in the new portions of town
and sign boards placed at all roads en-
ter!ng the city indicating the speed

ell.
