vision, had its opening yesterday after

property, was present with staff or
! agents to explain to the visitors the To-
cation of the building sites, the new
streets, and tell something of how 1t is
hoped to develop this addition to the
town. During the afternoon there was
a concert by the Navy Yard Band, and
the visitors sat about under the trees

suggestions were filed from the visitors
as to the naming of one Of the streets
Of Fairlawn, for the best idea on which
the real estate company is going to
! award a prize of $50, with other prizes
! of SIS and SO. Among those who spent
: the afternoon on the grounds were old
residents of Anacostia, who knew the
grounds as they were when DR.. Arthur
c. Christie and his family made their
home there, and they marveled at the
changes that have been wrought in the
/ tract. Many sales were recorded Of
building lots.

SOME STRANGE WEDDINGS
Three Australian Brothers Married
Three Sisters on the Same Day
Two Sets Of Twins.

OF strange weddings there appear
to be no end, and the following are
few Of the instances In point:
There are some very remarkable
coincidents In the series of Quinn
Hoffman weddings. A year or two
ago, at ;Adelong, aAuctralia, three.
brothers named quinn married, on the
same day, three sisters of the name OF
Hoffman; but the most curious part
OH is that two OF the brothers were
twins and these we're married to two
of the Hoffman girls, who also were
twins! Again, some time previous.
another brother of the Quinns married
another girl Of the Holman family,
SO that 1t may be said to be an inter
family record.
A somewhat similar occurrence hap
pened in Trail Village, England. when
four sons Of Mr.. John Somers were
married, on the same day, to four
daughters of Mr.. Hochsettler-a
well-to-do farmer of the neighborhood.
The four couples all took up abode In
the vicinity
A marriage which caused much
talk at the time was celebrated In
1896, between the Marin and Rheaume
families, who lived In the parish OF
Sainte Marie, Quebec.
The parties were neighbors, and
the four sons of the one family ar
ranged marriages with the four daugh-
tiers Of the other, and so perpetuated
the old adage that exchange is no
robbery."-Widow

Jean remained silent. few minutes
later Rowland brought the caribou

pot of coffee to the table. Then he
went behind Jean and united his hands.

the table he cooked his revolver and
placed it beside his tin plate. Jean

to small tin pack cup hanging to

The sun was up when Croisset led
the way outside. His dogs and sledge
were hundred yards from the build

take possession OF the Frenchman's RI

tossed chunks of caribou flesh to the
huskies. When they were ready to

NEW YORK MAY
 HAVE NO SENATOR

Albany, N r., March 4.-The handful of legislators in Albany tonight differed materially in opinion as to the effect Gov ernor DiXs letter would have on the sen- atorial situation. Reports were current this afternoon that Mir. Murphy had sent m emissary to the insurgents camp to pave the way for conference of the dem ocratic members. but they could not be substantiated
 The fear is expressed here that the fail ure of the New York legislature to settle on a successor for Chauncey M Depew may leave the Empire state with only one senator in the extra session of the Senate. The statement of Governor Dix that he does not believe the candidacy of William H. Sheehan should be further continued had no effect on the hallotins at Albany today.
 An official statement from Tammany Hall this afternoon said:
 We may lose two or three votes for MT Sneehan at first, but we have 0 men at Albany upon whom we can conn, to SUCK until next January if necessary. :.
