Island, near Annapolis. Md, Sunday
night with Miss Betty Harrison, the
daughter of G.. f. Harrison, a farmer.
Edwards spent his vacation last
summer at house near that of the
Harrisons, who had twin daughters.
People living on the island have often
mistaken one OF them for the other,
and that was what Edwards did when
he eloped. Edwards landed from the
schooner intending to elope with Mary
Harrison. He met Betty first, and,
thinking she was Mary, hurried off to
parson and then went aboard the
schooner
The schooner Is now somewhere in
Chesapeake bay, with Edwards and
his wife aboard, headed for Baltimore.
while Mary is mourning the fate that
leaves her single woman.
1t was reported last summer that
Betty was jealous of the attentions
paid her sister by Edwards. and ii is
believed she learned that Edwards
was going to marry Mary and decided
the best way to stop 1t was to marry
him herself.

is NOT INTERVENTION
United States viii Not Take Sides In
Struggle, But Exert Its Right Under
the Boxer Treaty

The state department at Washing

Manila to Chnwingtao, a seaport in
China about ESQ miles from Pekin, on
the Gulf of Pechili
The purpose is to perform an in.
ternational duty under the Boxer
communication between Pekin and the
sea.
1t was said at the state department
that request for the troops has not
yet been made on the war depart
ment, but it was momentarily expect
ed. The officials were careful to make
1t appear that the dispatch of these
troops to China would be absolutely
without any political meaning and the
movement was not to be construed as

guard against such an event as the
siege of the legations during the
Boxer uprising.
Beyond the maintenance of a ma
rine guard of 100 men (only recently
and temporarily increased to 200), the
United States has never availed itself
of this permission, and it has fallen
to the lot of other nations-principall
Great Britain, France and Japan-to
maintain small garrisons along the
line of the road from Tien Tsin to
Pekin. II is felt that II is now ineum-
bent upon the United States to per
form its part of this duty, hence the
decision TO employ some troops to
supplement the marine guard.
The fact that the force to be dis.
uatched will be limited to one regl-
ment is in itself an indication that
there is no intention ON the part of
the United States government of in
dulging in any large military demon
stratlon in China, or of taking sides
