M'KIM IS BOUGHT OFF.
Consents to Drop Suit Against His
Wife and Her Father.

New York. Feb. 22.-Society read
with keen interest today an announce
ment made of an agreement whereby
DR.. Smith Hollins McKim consents to
ton against his former wife and her
father, DR.. Isaac E. Emerson, for
alienation of Mrs. McKim's affection
The agreement has revived the re-
port that Mrs. -McKim, who recently
obtained a divorce from her husband
in Reno, is going to marry Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt. Mr.. Vanderbilt, it
was said, is at his home in London.
In consideration of this release, Doc
tor McKim was given a large sum of
money to be paid in semi-annual in
Stallments, as well as lump sum
awarded chiefly for counsel fees.
Reports have been circulated that
Doctor McKim intended to bring suit
against Mr.. Vanderbilt for alleged
alienation of his wife's affections.
engagement existed between Mrs. Nc
Kim and Vanderbilt.
Mrs. McKim has been occasionally
in the society of Mr.. Vanderbilt. At
the last horse show she was a visitor
| in his box. During the season at New
port several years ago Mrs. McKim
and Mr.. Vanderbilt often were at the
same social events.
Mr.. Vanderbilt could not be reached
today. Mrs. McKim is with her father
at his shooting lodge in North Caro-
lima. Doctor McKim referred all in
quiries to his lawyer.
Inquiry why Mrs. Mccormick was
mentioned, and who she is. developed
from one of the attorneys in the case
that she is a young widow who, has
been living at Irvington. n. Y. She
| has been an intimate friend of Mrs.
McKim.
| Mrs. McKim was divorced from
Doctor McKim in Reno. New August
| Is, last year. Their marriage Deem
Der 80. 1902. was the result of ro-
nance started on a sea voyage in
which Doctor McKim was the physi-
clan for Mr.. Emerson's party. They
separated in 1909.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt was di-
vorced by Elsie French Vanderbilt.
His name has been connected for mat
rimonia1 purposes with Mrs. Mckim
ever since she decided upon a separa-
ton. 1t has also been asserted several
times that probably he would remarry
his divorced wife. He recently opened
a house at 1 1 East Sixty second street,
New York, and this caused gossip to
recall a statement he made soon after
he was divorced that he would never
have another New York home unless
he married again. That act renewed
the rumors of his probable marriage.

SEND OFF FOR JEWS.
Doctor F. L. Loveland's Lecture Plea
for Justice.

History proves that where weak
races come in contact with strong
races they are either enslaved, ANAL
gamated or exterminated,' said DR.. f.
L. Loveland Tuesday night in the
course of his address on 1.-The Wander
ing Jew before a large audience at the
First NJ. E. church. 1.-The Jew has been
in contact with all races, yet he lives.
Nations go down to ashes yet the Jew
always gets out of the ashes. Every
where he goes he wears his reproach
with the dignity of a fallen king.
1.-The slaughter of the Jews continues
In one province in Russia not long ago
1851 Jews were killed. The persecu-
ton of the Jews today is done by peo-
pie who are daily Worshiping the He
brew God. 1 insist as a lover of civ
ilization that this persecution ought to
stop. / don't believe in wars, but I
would be willing to hold my opinion in
allegiance long enough to have that job
attended to.
do we prosecute them in America
Oh, no, but we blaekball and ostracize
them. Do you know that the great
hotels in the country won't house Jews?
THE Jews constitute less than
per cent of the human race-there are
less than IL million of them, but they
give more great names to science, music
or nationality. The greatest musicians
in the world are Jews. They have been
going through the world with pillar
of music ahead of them I'd rather
have been the author of the Twenty
third psalm than the president of the
United States.
Z I'VE hate the Jews because the part
they had in the cruci1vion of Jesus
Christ. / don't want you to forget
that Peter. James, John, and Paul We're
Jews. Some say it Is according to the
will of God that the Jews should be

CLOUD ON HIS LIFE.
1t Is Lifted After Thirty Years In a
Peculiar Manner

Peoria, Ill, Feb. 22.-The Rev.
CHARLES Edwin Burdette, brother of
Bob" Burdette, the humorist, has
been vindicated after thirty years of
any blame in connection with the dis
appearance of $4,000 from a register
ed letter package sent out by the
Peoria postoff1ce, of which he was
registry clerk.
The disappearance of the money
had been a cloud on Burdette's life in
this, his home town. and turned many
of his old friends against him.
registered letters by the late John
Comstock. The evidence was all
against young Burdette and after the
first investigation Comstock demanded
that General D. w. Magee, then post
master at Peoria, who died last year,
discharge the registry clerk.
Comstock carried the matter to
Washington and an inspector came
down from Chicago to make full re-
De discharged, but the postmaster re-
fused to discharge him. and Rurdette
continued as registry clerk.
Burdette was working to get money
to study for the ministry. A few years
after the money was missed he left
versity, then to Newton academy, and
when he was ordained as a minister
was assigned as a missionary in Asam,
India. He how has a pastorate at
Springfield, Mass. All this time he
prayed that in some way the mystery
Of the missing money might be clear
ed up for his own vindication.
Into the repair shop at San Fran
cisco a few days ago an old battered
sack was sent to be patched. It was
a veteran, and to repair it meant prac-
ticalIy to make a new sack. The first
man to inspect the sack decided it
needed a new bottom and. with a
knife, he ripped the leather bottom off
Then he saw above it a big manila
envelope, caught by the corn rs.
which served practically as false
bottom. He opened the envelope and
found 1t to contain the twelve Com
stock letters and the missing $4,000,
which had been wandering about the
country for thirty years. When the
finding of the money was reported to
the Peoria postoff1ce friends telegraph
ed to the Rev. Mr.. Burdette that the
cloud hanging over him so long had
been dispelled.

Ransden of Louisiana.

Hon. Joseph RansdeII, of Louisiana,
has been slated by the Democratic
house for the craftsmanship of the i'm
portant committee on rivers and har-
bors.
Mr.. Randell has made almost a life
time study of the subject of improve
ment of our harbors and waterways. A
gentleman of unusual ability and force,
a student, business man, and debater
of ability, Mr.. Ransdell should fill the
position in a way to be of great value
to the country, and in a fashion to re-
feet credit on the craftsmanship of
Louisiana.
The Democratic party is on trial be-
fore the people of the country. Demo-
Gratis have long lacked the opportunity
to demonstrate their ability for con-
structive and creative craftsmanship.
There is an impression in certain cir
cles in this country that the party is
one of simple opposition and negation.
America is face to face with one of
the greatest problems Of its existence.
the railways cannot handle our COM
merce, and years will be required for
them to build I'D to their capitaliZd-
ton. to fairly adjust their rates and
put themselves in a position to secure
funds needed for even necessary new
construction.
Meantime with the opening of the
Panama canal. the nation is turning to
world commerce. The American mer-
chant marine is to be restored to the
seas. The long neglected rivers are
to be made navigabl and America is
to get cheap and efficient transporta-
ton.
A Democratic house is to have the
responsibility before the people OF
working out these problems.
In a degree the party will be judged
by the action and attitude of the riv-
ers and harbors committee. and it is
therefore fortunate in the choice of
Mr.. Ransdell. We only hope that it
will be as fortunate in the selection of
its other chairren of committees

TIMBER LASTS LoNu.

The average life of Australian timbers naturally varies greatly, be- ing dependent on situation and cli- mate. In western Australia jarrah bridge piles have been taken up per- fectly sound after being 45 years in the ground, while instances are on record where the ironbark, redgum and gray box of the eastern states in similar situations have been discov- cred to have an equally long life. In the more humid parts of Queensland the life of bridge piles varies greatly, but it may be said to extend from fifteen to over thirty years.

BUT BOOKS LIVE ON.

Many man lives burden to the earth; but a good book is the pre- cious life blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on pur- pose to a life beyond life. It is true no age can restore life where of, perhaps, there is no great loss, and revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we raise against the living labors of public men, how we spill that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books, since we see a kind of homi- eide may be thus committed, some times a martyrdom, and, if it extend to the whole impression, kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends not in the staying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and fifth essense, the breath of reason it. self stays an immortality rather than q life--Milton, Areopagitica.

Col. Fred Hale of Portland, Me, son of former Senator Eugene Hale of that state, came to Washington and called on his old friend, H. c. Emery, of the tariff board, also from Maine.
 Emery's office is in the treasury building and Emery showed Hale, not without pride, the long row of granite monoliths on the Fifteenth street side of that building, explain ing that there were 36 in the lot, re- gently put up to replace the old lime stone columns, and that they cost S10,000 each.
 "Ten thousand dollars each?" re- peated Hale.
 "Yes."
 'And they came from the Maine quarries, I supposeP"
 "No," replied Emery; "they came from the New Hampshire quarries. "

 "Yes."
