PROUD OF WIFE, AGED 40
Irving Mott Begins Business With
Pet Pig, and Now Boasts
Of Owning Farm.

WINSTED, Conn.,, January 6.-Irving
Mott. aged nineteen, was as clipper and
proud last night as q boy with his first
pair of trousers, because he has a wife and
u farm. His bride, Mrs. Nellie Beers, a
Divorce, was forty-nine years old last
June. She is the only daughter of Nelson
d. Beers, a retired Winsted builder and
contractor. who is spending the winter at
his farm on Torringford street, few
miles out OF the center. The couple went
to Millerton, n. Y, Thursday. where
they were married by Rev. J. H. Mitchell,
pastor of the Methodist Church.
Reward Of Industry.
Mott had been employed for two years
on the farm of Charles Al. Berry, close
to the Beers place. He was industrious
and the Berrys treated him as they would
one Of their own children. Last spring.
to start the boy in the world. they gave
him a young pig which he fattened. We'd
nesday he butchered his pet. brought it
to a local market and got cash for It, 1t
was his first business transaction on his
own hook and he started home proud.
Pops the Question.
sOn his way he stopped to call on the
Beers family, father and daughter. He
had known Mrs. Beers only one month.
but he popped the question and won.
Mrs. Beers father, it is said. suggested
that the knot be tied in M!llerton, and
early the next morning Mott expended
part of the proceeds of the pig sale in
tho round-trip ticket Yesterday the
bridegroom appeared at the Berry home
and got the rest of his clothes and other
belongings.
I'm married. he said on entering the
house, adding, and I've got farm Of my
own, too.

DECREASE IN MAN TEACHERS.
Scarcity Deplored by DR.. Dresslar Of
Bureau Of Education,

Steady decrease in the number OF man
teachers in the public schools Of the coun-
try is deplored by DR.. Fletcher &.
Dresslar of the United States bureau Of
education. in report on the work Of the
past decade along educational lines.
There is no doubt" he says, that it is
unwise to intrust so important a matter
as the teaching of boys and girls so
largely to women; but the facts are
known and have been for many years, and
yet the hoped-for change does not come"
Thirty per cent of the public school
teachers in 1900 were men; this number
has now decreased to about II per cent
And Dr. Dresslar finds that normal school
figures ..foreteil a still further reduction
because whereas In 1900 the number of
men taking professional courses In normal
schools was 70 per cent. the percentage
has decreased to about II.

KILLING Of SLAVE GIRL
STARTS WAR Of TONGS
Police Had Been Expecting an
Outbreak in New Y0rk'S
Chinatown.

NEW YORK, January 6-War tetween
the On Leongs and the Hip Sings, the
great rival Chinese tongs, that has been
brewing ever since the murder of Bow
Kun, slave girl, two years ago, broke
out last night in Chinatown. A battle in
which a dozen or more members of each
society took part resulted in a victory
fer the On Leongs, who dropped the
vice president of the Hip Sings with
death shot and poured SO many bull
lets into the president he cannot re-
cover.
There have been lively revolver bat
ties in Chinatown in the last four years,
but all have been between the On Leongs
and members of the Four Brothers So
ciety. This is the first conflict between
the On Leongs and the Hip Sings since
Judge Warren w. Foster presided at a
peace banquet that ended, until last
nights outbreak, a long-standing feud.
Revenge Was Delayed.
But when Bow Kun was found with
her throat cut white men who knew
most about Chinatown predicted that
sooner Tor later the On Leongs would
take blood revenge. Bow Kun was a
pretty little slave girl vino was stolen
from a Hip Sing in San Francisco by an
On LeoYlg and brought to New Yo. X. The
trail was followed across the continent,
and one night the girl met her inevi.a .ie
death. Two Hip 81 rs were arres.ed, but
the crime could not lie proved asa.n- t
them.
Why the On Leongs did not seek re-
yenge at once no white man could
fathom, for the Hip Sings were then
at a low cbb. Their treasury was
empty after $4,000 had been spent in
trying to save the lives of five mem
bers who We're finally convicted of
murder in Boston.
The shooting took place in the store
of Mock Duck, formerly leader OF the
Hip Sings. at Il Pell street. Cold had
driven the celestials within doors, and

Sings had refitted their war chests since
the Boston trials.
That's all they are waiting for he
said. Now I suppose we shall have
trouble until they get bunch Of Chinks

money to defend them. Then we shall
have another peace pact and quiet until
they get together more money"

Practically the entire northwestern Sec
ton of Hyattsville is undeveloped. ana
in this locality are some of the most de-
siraEle building sites in this section OF
the state. A considerable portion OF this
property belongs to the estates OF Messr a:
Johnson and Wine, and In the settiement
of the separate holdings there has been
some uncertainty regarding the titles.
This condition has retarded the develop
ment of the property. but the situation is
being cleared and recently some pur-
chases have been made. The property Is
within easy reach of the public water and
sewerage systems. and when the boom
starts it's growth is expected to be rapid.

TRAFFIC QUESTIONS
IN SUPREME COURT
Arguments to Be Made Next on
Interstate Commerce
Cases.

Interstate commerce week" will be OBJ
served in the Supreme Court of the
United States beginning Monday. Prac-
tically all of the questions to be argued
next week are connected with railroad
or steamship traffic
The first case to be considered involves
whether shippers may be indicted for ac-
cepting rebates unless 1T is shown that
the railroad concerned had posted the
regular rates at the railroad station at
point of origin. It was held by Judge
Speer of Georgia that the posting of the
regular rates in the community in which
the shipper lived was such an important
means of information that the shipper
could not be indicted unless it was al
legged the rates had been posted. This
ruling occurred in the indictments OF
Harvey c. Miller and Morris F. Miller OF
Philadelphia on charges of accepting con-
cessions for shipments over the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation Com
pany, jointly with the seaboard Air Line
and with the Atlantic Coast Line.
Quarter-Century Fight.
Another case is the quarter-century
fight of Cincinnati shippers for lower
|
1894 shippers induced the interstate COM
merce commission to order sharp re-
duction of rates over the Cincinnati New
Orleans and Texas Pacific road from Gin
cinnati to Chattanooga. Courts held that
the commission could not fix future
rate. Later. when this power was con-
ferred upon ii. the commission Seduced
FIRST class rates to 40 cents, and held
that while a demand for 60-cent rate
might be reasonable on at DAD direct TO
Chattanooga IT would not be SO on the
Louisville aud Nashville and connecting
lines. Furthermore. the commission
held that to reduce the rat, to 10 cents
might make inequitable certain rates.
from Memphis to Chattanooga and to
Atlanta. Birmingham, Montsomery and
other southern cities. The cincinnati
in the Commerce Court to have the 10
cent rate declared unjust and unreason-
able.
Obligations Of Steamship Companies.
Whether a loophole really exists in the
immigration laws such as would allow
steamship companies to shift the respon-
sibility for bringing in immigrants of
the excluded classes will be argued be-
fore the court. 4 New York court held
that while the PURPOSE of Congress SEEM
ingl.- was to make the steamship COM
panies pay the cost of returning such
immigrants as are denied entrance there
was nothing in the law to prevent the
companies from circumventing the law
by requiring these immigrants to put up
security i'm foreign ports to cover the cost
of returning them il rejected.
Another question will be whether
special rate on coal may be given rail-
roads. Still other cases involving con-
ficts of jurisdiction between the inter-
state commerce commission and the Com
merce Court will be heard.

On Leongs Open Fire.

Suddenly the door was burst open and
the On Leongs rushed in.o the back
room upon the fan tan players. Revolvers
cracked and Lung You. vice president of
the Hip Sings, fell over the table, a
bullet in his brain.
Chong Pun Sin, president of the Hip
Sings, who was sitting next to Lung
tried to dodge behind the table and into
an adjoining room. but the avengers OF
Bow Kun riddled him with bullets. He
was taken to the Hudson street hospital
by the police, when shooting brought
them to the scene of the battle. There
was no chance for Chong'S recovery

the community, the above frghtful record shows.
If he is ready for murder the saloon offers him the
way. How much longer, then, will these murderous
hell-holes be permitted to exist?
1t is this curse-the open saloon-that Taylorville
is free from And it is very largely because of this fact
that the city is of the c1eanes most hosptable and
best governed in all the length and breadth OF our state
