h MRS. CLEvEI4AND's ENGAGE.

The announcement of the engage
ment of Mrs. Grover Cleveland, wild
ow of former President Cleveland to
Prof. Thomas ]. Preston of Wells
college brought hundreds of congrat-
ulatory messages to her and him.
At her home the bride-to-be smiling
ly verified the announcement made
at her request last evening by Pres
ident Hibben Of Princeton universe
ty She seemed as happy as girl
of Is over the coming event
"All | can say now is that the
statement is true" said She you
must obtain details Of the marriage
from the professor. And not an
other word about the engagement
could she be induced to say.
Princeton folk wish to know
whether Mrs Cleveland will main
tain her home in the university tLwp
after marriage. They hope she will,
for she is a favorite socially. 1t is
probable there will be no immediate
change, though Mrs. Cleveland will
undoubtedly maintain home at Au-
rora, N Y, the seat OF Wells college,
during the school year.
Mrs. Thomas ]. Preston, mother
of the professor, told reporter in
her home in South Orange, that al
though she had been surprised when
told that the engagement had been
announced, She has known all along
OF the attachment. knew that IL
timately the engagement would be
announced, she said, "but only a
few days ago my son told me the
formal statement would not be given
out until my birthday: Therefore,
me the news was out l was sur
prised"
Mrs. Preston was manifestlJ
pleased OF her sons choice of wife.
That she was proud of him was plain
and she consented to tell a little of
the love affair. I'VE all have known
Mrs. Cleveland for a long time" she
explained, "and it is needless tor me
to add that we are devoted to her.
Thomas first met her in 1906 and
was attracted to her at once because
OF her highly artistic nature. Thomac

success when his artistic tendencies
got the better of him and he gave up
his work and went abroad. There he
studied.
"On his return to America he took
two years course at Princeton,
and 1t was while there that he met
Mrs. Cleveland Their tastes drew
them together, and it was not long
before they We're aware of the true
state of affairs l, too, recognized
they were deeply in love with each
other. Mrs. Cleveland is ono OF the
most charming. women / have ever
met"
Mrs. z. Jones, a. sister of the pro-
lessor, said the entire family shared
in her brothers happiness. She
added that the marriage would take

Needs More Thorough Organization
to Combat Fraud.
1t is true that in Mingo county the
people made a good fight against
machine sRepublican boss rule, but
the organization was not thorough
enough to prevent the corruption Of
the ballot in some places by the
Wholesale. The only way to gain
the people their liberties In this sec.
ton Is to begin early and prepare to
prevent this fraud. The ringsters
have been very much disfigured in
the recent election, and with more
thorough organization, they are
bound to be swept from political
existence as a body Of ballot box
manipulators. The Democrats have
MUNICH to encourage them, while the
machine has been almost left
stranded ON the shore of trickery
and dishonest political methods. If
the opposition think they have won
anything in the recent contest, let
them make the most OF it, for their
days are numbered

BUSINESS

II any further proof were needed
that business does not halt because
of politics, the evidence was to be
found in Chicago on the day before

from the West" we are told, says
everyone "out there" is feeling hap
Ply, and there are SO many statesmen
on the road that in many OF the
leading towns it is necessary to
sleep three and four in a room, as
there is pronounced shortage of
hotel accommodations. AS for the
situation in it's broad aspects as
noted in Chicago, dispatch to the
New York Evening Post says.
All records for car loadings and
movements for the month of 0ctober
and for any period were broken
last month on western, northwestern
and southwestern roads, Increase
over last year being . to 16 per
cent, and as compared with 1910.
which was the heaviest month for
traffic known up to this year, thel 8
were gains of to II per cent.
Railroads continue to make large
purchases of equipment, giving out
more orders last month than at any
previous time. Steel mills are sold
ahead from to IL months. Mer-
camille business is making 4 most
favorable showing, orders being ma
terially in excess Of recent years.
This is evidence that BUSINESS
conditions are not disturbed by Re-.
