For several years the names of Alfred
 G. Vanderbilt. the chief heir of Cornelius Vanderbilt's millions and Mrs. Smith Hol- 1 lns McKim have been closely associated.
 At various times it was reported they
 were soon to be married. MT. Vanderbilt,
 who is accounted the richest of the young I CT set of milionaires, was born in 1877. He married Miss Ellen French on Janu- ary Il, 1901. His wife was granted de-
 cree of divorce on May 25, 1908, their son, | William Henry Vanderbilt, remaining ] in the mothers care. The decree was
 made final three months later. It was | said al the time that Mr. Vanderbilt set | tied $l,500,00O on his former wife. The | name of Mime. Ruiz, the divorced wife of
 Antonio Ruiz, former member Of the Cuban legation at Washington, came up in the trial of the suit. Mrs. Ruiz com l mitted suicide in London on May 16, 1909, | the manner of her death being suppressed for a considerable time.
 Mrs. McKim is the daughter of Isaac F. Emerson of Baltimore and the di- voroed wife of pr. Smith Rollins Me
 Kim of New York and Baltimore. Mrs. Mcl<im obtained a divorce from her hus- band, which threatened various suits be- fore the courts, but early in February, 1910, agreement was signed bringing
 to an end all pending and proposed ltiga- ton involving Dr. McI<im, his father-in- law, MT. Emerson, Mckim's former wife
 and Alfred G. Vanderbilt. The attorneys for pr. Mc1<in1 stated at that time he had agreed to end the litigation relative to the alleged alienation of his wife's affec- tons It was also stated that pr. Me Kim, in consideration of this release, was to receive d large sum of money in small installments
 Alfred G. Vanderbilt sailed for England on the steamer Lusitiania on November % last. Just prior to his departure he re-
 iterated his denial that he was soon to
 be married. Mrs. Mckim has been
 abroad for several months.

LOCAL PHYSICIAN
TALKS ON KISSES
Be Careful How You Greet
Young Hopefuls, DR..
Markley Advises.

No matter how bewitc hingly a baby
smiles, or how enticing it's dimpled
cheeks, soft as red rose petals. appear,
kiss should not be implanted on it's
lips puckered into a pouting appeal,
for therein is real danger. This is the
assertion of DR.. Stephen S. Markley
and it the first opinion publicly given
in Richmond regarding the agitation
which has resulted from the action of
Queen Victoria of Spain in placing
tags bearing the words NO me bese'
Don't kiss mel on her children. Such
cards are now being attached to many
American babies, especially in the
east
Dr. Markley agrees with the Queen
and other doctors who have been ard
ent supporters of the idea that kissing
is not hygienic. He declares it is one
of the best possible means for the
transmission of disease germs. Per
sons with tuberculosis or other contag-
ious diseases could very easily convey
their afflictiOn to baby, or a grown
person for that matter. by kissing.
In the case of the mother and men,
berS of the family. DR.. Markley does
not find serious objection to their kiss
ing the infant if it is known that none
of them have diseases which can be
transmitted thereby. but even for the
family members, the doctor recon-
mends that the osculatory practice on
babies be exercised on the cheek. The
skin protection, exposure to the air.
and the lack of warm saliva, in which
germs thrive. as on the lips, makes
the cheek, the doctor says, the most
logical place for kissing.
And he extends this recommendation
to such of the population as have fam
cies, which in the springtime turn to
thoughts of love. If kissing is done,
the cheek is the place-that is the
tenor of DR.. Markley's opinion.

ed at meeting of the Ea giles com
mittee and Lawrence Handley, VIII
W. Keller, and Charles W. Jordan,
representing the executive commit
tee having in charge the encampment

In view of the efforts of the Eagles
to bring Il representative of the carni-
val company to the city to determine
whether the dates of the show could
be changed, members of the G. A. r.
executive committee feel that the pros
poets for an amicable settlement, eli
minatng any necessity for change
in the present arrangements, are very
good.
A report of the result of the meeting
with the Eagles committee will be
submitted to the G. A. r. executive
committee, as a whole, at meeting
Friday afternoon. If it Is found that
the carnival dates cannot be changed
steps will be taken at that time to
present the matter before the officers
of the various state organizations with
the request that the encampments be
| held the week of May Z, instead of the
! following week as is now the plan.
Owing to the refusal of the officers
| of the Reid Memorial church to al
low the meetings of the Women's Re
lief Corps to be held in the church edi-
| flee the committee is now looking
/ for a suitable place to hold the ses
sons of this organization. 1t is prob
able that the Gennett theater will be
secured.

new contracts shall be made. This
work is now in progress all over the
country and has been carried on upon
the Richmond division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad for about three weeks.
The work usually consumes period
of about four months.
One of the weighers who started the
work here was Il substitute clerk in
the railway mail service and few
days ago he received a permanent ap-
pointment in the service. This left a
vacancy in the weighing force. AS
Richmond is the terminal for the Rich

MEN WITH BIG FEET
HAVE NORMAL MINDS

Paris, March 22.-That the majority
of normal minded men have big feet
and most normal minded women small
feet is the latest scientific discovery
announced to the world by the Paris
Academy of Sciences. II comes from
Prof. Macauliffe and Marie. who, for
several months. have measured the
feet of the French people in all walks
of life.
The found that eighteen out of ev.
cry one hundred soldiers were small.
footed and only twenty-four of every
one hundred weak-minded men big
footed. On the other hand they found
that only twenty-three of every one
hundred normal women were large
footed, while only eighteen Of two
hundred weak-witted women were
small footed.
This is considered TO confirm the
ancient theory that woman is mans
equal. for the reason that she is his
exact opposite.
