ONE NOW ;
! ALL LAWSUITS OFF
Jamaica O.. ~ Swain Takes Blushing Bride to Iawye
and Tells Latter to Cancel the Breach of Promise
Action He Had Brought Against Her.

New York June 12.-Katherine
Frank, 20 years old and pretty Brook
Ign, and Michael Dwyer, % years old,
Jamaica, have been happily married
after a stormy courtship of more than
year, in which the pricipal feature
was a suit Of breach of promise insti-
tuted by Dryer against the young wo-
man who is now his bride. The mar
riage put satisfactory ending to the
suit, which would soon have come up
in court for trial.
Dryer and Miss Frank met on
March n, 1911. The romance grew
apace and it was not long before the
couple became engaged. November
23 last was set as the date of the we'd
ding.
Then came the rift. The marriage
did not occur as scheduled. A week la
ter Dwyer retained Attorney Gamer
and instituted a suit against his for
mer bride-to-be for $4,000, claiming
that his heart had suffered to that ex-

wedding supper had been prepared,
the guests had assembled and the
minister was ready to perform the
ceremony, but the bride did not ap-
pear Instead, it was claimed she sent
note to Dryer stating she had
changed her mind and would not mar
ry him.
Through her attorney the bride put
in answer to the suit, in which she
denied Dwyer allegations and also
claimed she was under age at the time
the alleged engagement was made.
Attorney Gamer was seated in his
Office few days ago when much to
his surprise the plaintiff and defend
ant both entered his office arm in arm

Gamer, very much surprised.

The History of the Apple

Though apple is Saxon word, and
Is but very slightly changed from the
original form. "aeppel.7 the Romans
are generally credited with having
been the first to recognize the value
OF the fruit, and TO them no doubt, we
owe the first efforts toward cultiva.
ton attempted in this country, says
The London Globe. At a later date
the monks to whom also we owe 80
much in the development Of all man.
ner OF useful things, afterward made
a special study Of the apple, and 1t is
worthy OF note that the Arbroath pip
pin, or Oslin apple, was either first
introduced or first extensively cult
waited by the monks Of the Abbey OF
Aberbrothwick. Another famous va
iety, the Nonpareil, is said TO have
been brought from France by Jesuit
IN the time OF Queen Mary.
The origin OF many of the apples
still commonly cultivated in English
gardens probably dates back to the
time of the Conquest, and the fact
that the Normans paid particular at
tention TO this fruit no doubt ac-
counts for the many French names
to be discovered on the labels in ths
orchard. Perhaps the first truly Brit
ish apple was the Costard variety
at any rate, this is the apple first
mentioned by name in early writings
Turner refers to it as the only apple
alluded to in the horticultural records
of the thirteenth century, where it
appears the "Costard" He adds that
II is so referred to in the fruiterers
bills of the year 1892. and whether
there were other equally famous
sorts of apple known at the time or
not, 1t is significant that our word
'coster-monger," which was original
ly "costerdmonger," or a dealer in
Costards," evidently owes it's origin
to the most famous apple of the per
iod. The custard apple was what VIC
should now call a 'cooker'-indeed
its name implies itand it is plain
enough that apples were first regard
es than as dessert. The bitterness of
the fruit. which made it unpalatablc
when eaten Eau naturel," must have
taken many years to remove. The
dessert apple proper is said to have
been practically unknown until the
reign of Henry VIII, in whose time
great attention was paid to this

NAKED FRAUD SAYS 7. R.
CRITICIZES ACTION TAKEN
BY NAT. COMMITTEE.
Asserts Committee Is Seating
Fraudulently Elected Dele
gates to Defeat Him.

New York, June 11.-Theodore
Roosevelt discussed present condi
tions at Chicago in an article entitled
"A Naked Issue of Right and Wrong,
made public last night, and which
will appear in the current issue OF
the Outlook. Colonel Roosevelt says
in part
THE contest for the Republican
nomination has now narrowed down
to naked issue of right and wrong
for the issue is simply whether or
not we shall permit a system of max
ed fraud, of naked theft from the peo-
pie to triumph.
81 have made this contest on two
great principles first, the right of
the people to rule, and therefore in
the exercise OF their deliberate judg-
ment to control their Government
and their governmental agents, and,
second their duty so as to rule as to
bring about not only political but SO
cial and industrial pustice.
Properly speaking, the National
committees only function is honestly
to judge what delegates have, prima
facie, the right to seat and to sug-
gest the name of a temporary chair
man, who shall call the convention to
order. Practically the attempt is be-
ing made by the Taft managers to
use the present National Committee
for the purpose of unseating honest
ly elected delegates and of seating
enough fraudulently elected dele
gates. especially from the States
where there is no real Republican
party, to secure the nomination for
Mr.. Taft"

NEW CHARTER FOR
FREDERICK TURNED
DOWN BY VOTERS

ment Rejected BY People of
Frederick - Majority of
635 Against Charter.

Frederick, Md, June 12.-At the
special election held yesterday the
proposed new charter embodying the
commission form of government was
defeated by 635 majority
The defeat OF the charter is a
heavy blow to a number Of the lead
ing citizens of Frederick who es-
poused the cause OF the charter.
There was an impression in the
minds of the majority OF the voters
and especially among the laboring
element that the weather. citizens
saw in the new charter a chance to
secure the municipal electric lighting
plant and also the city's water sys-
tenn and they voted agaisst the propo-
sition.
The charter provided for a Mayor
and two Commissioners, the Mayor
to receive s1,500 a year and the com.
missioners $1,000 each The charter
provided for the initiative, referen-
dun and recall. 1t was the work of a
committee of citizens named at cit
liens meeting called by the Freder-
lex Board of Trade.
This committee worked longer than
a year before the charter was pre-
pared and submitted to another citi-
gems meeting, which demanded a
vote upon the proposition and was
granted ii.
1t was sent to the Legislature and
passed and If voted for in the cleo
ton yesterday was to have become
operative May /, 1913.
