LIFE-SAVERS IN SESSION
TO FIGHT FOR PENSIONS.
Meeting Of Two Organizations
at Atlantic Civ.

ATLANTIC CITY, June 6.-Surfmen
of the United States life-saving serv-
ice. bronzed and weather-beaten heroes
of a hundred rescues, assembled yes
terday at the Raleigh Hotel for what
may prove one of the most Interesting
conventions of the year.
The gathering is called as an annual
session of two organizations, the Surf
mans Mutual Benefit Association and
the Aid Association of United States
Life-savers; but these organizations
have a membership a~ggregating nearly
z, 900 men, while the list in the whole
service is about $500.
Last year a bill was introduced in
Congress to provide for pensions for
|Veteran nfe-savers who spend a life
time in this hazardous service. 1t
never got anywhere in Congress. The
senators and the congressman who were
on the committee to which 1t was re-
ferred told the l~ife-savers they We're In
the civil service, and not a part In n
way OF the army or the navy, and II
thew should grant their demand all the
civil service employees would make
similar requests. -
Among the influential members OF the
two organizations now here for the con-
s~ideration Of the more important mat
ter and other subjects having to do
with the business affairs of the associa-
tions are the following: Captain Arthur
superintendent of the Long
Island Iife-saving stations, and presi-
dent of both organizations; Captain
James B. Ryder, of the New Jersey
shore ~nfe-saving stations, v~ice-presi-
dent of the Mutual Benefit Association.

RED ROSE OF
ROMANCE IS NOW
FADED AND SERE
american Beauty Boardwalk
Girl" Heroine of EIopement,
Gets a Divorce.

PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-Another
romance which began at Atlantic City
has ended. and Mrs. Ida Mildred
French Graft, the RED Rose GIRL has
Joined the ranks of the Divorces. Her
former husband, Horace Mortimer
Graft, of New York, the youngest cap
tain In the Spanish-American War,
who led Company E, Ninth New York
regiment. has departed for parts I'M
known, and the uncontested divorce
has been granted in Common Pleas
Court No. 8. Not a person present
knew that the beautiful woman who
told the story of her desertion was Ida
Mildred French, the former belle OF
Philadelphia society.
Three years ago Graft disappeared.
Two weeks later q letter came from
him. In this Mrs. Graft was informed
that owing to incompatibility of tenn
permanent 1t would be impossible for
them to continue as man and wife.
While awaiting the Anal decree Mrs.
Graft lived at the Colonial here with
her grandmother, Mrs. Louis E. French,
one of the leaders of the old conserva-
tives of Philadelphia. It was this same
grandmother, who, nine years ago, an
nounced the elopement of Captain
Graft and Miss French. The ceremony
was performed October 10, 1902, in the
Little Church Around the Corner"
New York city.
Captain Graft and Miss French. the
Rose Girl of Chestnut Street" met
at Atlantic City in September, 1902.
She then was known as the American

cause her adornment at all times was a
magnificent American Beauty rose.
wooing Fast and Furious.
They were stopping at the same hotel
and met morning, o and night.
Captain Graft stormed the heart of his
ladylove as he had charged up San
Juan hill.
Within two weeks they left for their
respective homes.
Shortly after returning to Philadel-
phia Miss French fed to the protecting
arms of Captain Graft, and within
Itwenty-four hours her grandmother re-
ceived the surprising telegram.
Married. Details later"
Mrs. Graft is the daughter of Harry
B. French, formerly of Philadelphia,
but now of Tennessee.
The Trenches are descended from an
old Huguenot family, settling originally
in New Orleans. Mrs. Graft before her
marriage was one of the most striking
features of the afternoon parade on
Chestnut street. Standing head and
shoulders above her friends, with a
beautiful red rose always nodding at
her bosom, she was the cynosure of all
eyes. Her Coming out party" in 1899,
is still remembered as one of the most
magnificent affairs ever given here.
Captain Graft comes from a widely
known New York family. He was a
member of the Seventh regiment when
1t refused to go to the front during
the Spanish American War, and he re-
signed and was commissioned captain
of Company E, Ninth New York. He
served through the war. He is a mem
Der of the Society of the Sons of the
Revolution and is connected with the
Waterford Knitting Company.

BE CALLED AT TRENTON,

TRENTON, June 6.-The petitions
calling upon council to order a special
election to adopt or reject the COM
mission form of government were filed
with the city clerk yesterday.
l. The petitions contain $500 names,
while only $500 were absolutely neces-
sary. BY the law 800 votes are neces-
sary to adopt the act, and as the petit

Between
Ourselves

Said a Broad street bust
ness man yesterday:
81 did not realize until last
Saturday what a tremendous
undertaking the new Bamber-
ger store is. You certainly
have made a big hole in the
ground over there in Market
street. And just think of it,
there are several big build
ings, including the Empire
Theatre, yet to come down"
Yes, 1t is a big hole in the
ground-bigger than most
people have any idea of-and
when the other buildings are
wrecked the hole will be still
bigger.
The preliminary work on
the big new store is progress
ing rapidly and IL you have
not been on Market street for
the past few weeks-which is
hardly probable--it will pay
you TO take a stroll down this
way some day soon.
