Woe of a Turkish Bride

From the Boston Transcript.
 Just when a hero's romance was to come to a happy conclusion, when Maj. Enver Bey, the Turkish military attache at Ber- lin. was to be married at the palace at Constantinople, to the daughter of Prince Suleman, something happened. The bride was an imperial princess, being a niece of the present Sultan and of his brother, the deposed Abdul Hamid.
 Enver Bey is 2S years old and his bride IS. A hero of the revolution, he helped. as leader of the Young Turks, to dethrone Abdul Hamid and to replace him by his brother, the present ruler. AS reward for his services in the overthrow of the old regime the impreial princess was be- slowed upon Enver Bey in accordance with an old Turkish custom. He had not, at the time of his engagement, seen his bride.
 But at the last moment the marriage has been postponed.
 The Imperial Princess was bestowed as a gift upon Enver Bey in recognition of his services at the time of the revolution. It is now stated that Enver Bey has been ordered to accompany the war minister to Macedonia on a tour of inspection and his bride is left behind, disconsolate and unwed.

PET POODLE WILL
 HAVE ID PAY DUTY

Washington June 1.-The customs court has given a decision which promises to bring customs collections into even more unpopularity. These officials say it will entangle the government in no end. of disputes unless Congress amends it. Three words in one section of the Payne-Adrich law have been construed to mean that any American born animal once taken out of this country must pay duty to return It is held that the law applies to all animals, from pet poodles to draft horses. Hereto fore custums collectors have been allowed to exercise some discretion in enforc- ing this provision. Hereafter they will have no alternative and the following will be some of it's effects
 An American woman, who takes her pet poodle to Europe, will have to pay duty on its when she returns.
 Collector Loeb at New York has begged the treasury department to al- low him to wink at the law, but has been advised that the government will allow no winks.
 A Niagara Falls hackman will no lonGeF Do dlioWeu lo diiNo HIS IaIe across the gorge to the Canadian side of the waterfall unless he is prepared to pay full duty on his horse when coming back. There is no provision by which he can put up 8 bond guaran- teeing his return.
 Many Americans who have summer homes in Canada and usually take their horses and dogs with them will be con- fronted with a duty when they return.
 At some places along the border eus- toms officials say that the customs law will admit of restricted commerce be- tween cities.
 The law has been in effect since Au- gust 5, 1909 but customs officials have never enforced it. The customs court s decision leaves no alternative for them. Several congressman are threatening to introduce bills amending it.

Night Session of House Avoided-BiIl
Now Goes to Senate, Where
Outlook for Passage
Is Bright.

Washington, Feb. 15.-By a vote of
221 to 80 the Mccall bill, embodying
the administrations reciprocity agree

house Of representatives. The votes
of 81 Republicans and 5 Democrats

satisfaction.

a hasty meeting, there would have
been a session on the reciprocity bill
at night with little prospect of a vote

trick. The Democrats, who in the
past have awakened the echoes of the
chamber with their denunciations of
similar propositions, designed to make
them swallow obnoxious doses in a
single gulp, received this one with

But, Mr.. Boutell, does not this rule
