TWO LICENSED TO
WE'D SAME GIRL
Walter Jones Wins Out Over Tom
Shirley in Race for Hand of
Miss FloSsie Walden i'm
Howard County.

The idea that matrimonial in
clined young men are getting scarce
was given a hard jolt in this sec
ton last Saturday. when two young
men secured marriage license with
the intention OF marrying the same
young lady, says the Nashville News.
Miss Flossie Walden. the charm
ing young daughter of Judge f. X.
Walden, Of Buck Range, was the
prize, and the young men were Wal
ter Jones of Toxic and Tom Shirley
of Allrook.
Although Shirley secured his Ii
censc first, il was not of the rapid
fire kind, and it did not work, being
returned to the county clerk in this
city Monday.
Shirley applied to the clerk for
the license Saturday, and it was is
sued to him, but he had hardly left
the court house before Jones ap-
peared and stated that he wanted a
license, but when he stated that it
was for Miss Walden, the clerk in
formed him that there was nothing
doing, as another young man had
secured the papers to marry her.
Jones left the Office and the clerk
heard nothing further from the case
until Monday, when Shirley return
ed and delivered the license to the
clerk, stating that it would not work.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
Mr.. Jones went to Murfreesboro,
after being refused a license here,
and securing the necessary docu-
ment went to the home Of the bride
and got her before Shirley ap-
peared.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones and Shirley
met in this city Monday. The bride
showed considerable embarrassment
but Shirley was very calm, and
congratulated them, after which
they left for their home at Toxic
and Shirley went TO the court
house TO return the license tina had
/ been issued to him.

TO BREAK TREATY
WITH RUSSIA
Only One Vote Cast Against the
Proposition Regarding Russian
PaSsports-The Vote Came
i'm the House.

Washington, Dec. i4.-Represent-
alive MaIby of New York registered
the only vote against the Sulzer
joint resolution for the abrogation
of the treaty of 1882 with Russia,
which was passed in the house last
night by the votes of 800 represent
atives.
A resolution by Culbertson of
Texas regarding Russia's discrim-
nation against Jewish-American
citizens, practically identical with
that of the house, is pending in the
senate. Both resolutions would di-
rect the president to give Russia
notice Of the abrogation of the
treaty that has stood for 81 years
within one year.
Representative Olmstead of Penn
sylvania attempted to modify the
Sulzer resolution. avoiding the di-
rect charge against Russia, but the
vote stood 1874 for the original bill
against ii5. That the house should
adopt language, merely stating that
Russia has construed the treaty in
such a manner that the United
states can no longer be a party to
it was urged by the Republicans.
Republican Leader Mann said that
if a discrimination against race was
asserted in the resolution, it might
weaken the country's attitude to-
ward the exclusion Of Orientals.
Such sentiment tee, might pro-
woke Russia to war.
The house bristled with debate
during the entire day.
The resolution declares that 'the
government Of the United States
will not be a party to any treaty
which discriminates or by which
one of the parties thereto is so
construed as to discriminate be-
tween American citizens ON the
ground of race or religion" and it
adds.

SAILORS DIED IN
SAVING ROYALTY
The Duke OF Fife Bailed as Fast
rs He Could, but His Family
Were Plunged Into
the Sea.

Gibraltar, Dec. i3.-Sailors' lives
did not count today when the, wire
less Of the steamer Delhi called that
it was sinking with a party Of En-
glish royalty and nobility on board.
The first to reach Cape Spartal, Mo-
rocco, was the French cruiser
Friant. When its launch capsized
on the way to the rescue the other
boats swept on over the waves. Four
blueiackets were drowned.
In spite of the fact that the Duke
of Fife himself was bailing as fast
as possible, the French boat in
which his family left the wreck fill
ed and sank. The breakers over
turned it several yards from the
shore.
A Princess Went Under Once.
The whole party had strapped on
life belts, which kept them afloat,
but they were terribly buffeted by
the waves. The Princess Alexan-
dra disappeared for a moment be-
meath the towering waves. She was
seized by a sailor and carried on
the beach. Princess Louise Vic
toria, her own daughter, and the
duke, after being washed from their
feet several times, were dragged to
land.
They landed below the lighthouse
and walked, drenehed to the skin,
over the rocks TO the signal that
mislead their vessel. The Spanish
guardians gave them some sort
of dry garments.
Most of the passengers also were
landed.
Valuable Cargo.
The royal party had not even
time TO dress. Some wore night
dresses, with such clothes as they
were able to pick up in a hurry.
The vessel listed shortly after
striking. Water entered the lower
cabins. Great difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting into the boats
The royal ladies had to be dropped
and caught.
The Delhi carried gold bullion to
the value of half million dollars, and
silver bars to the value of one mil
lion dollars. The value of the car
so is estimated at one half million
dollars.
