GIRL BALKS AT THE ALTAR
ing Daughter From Being
Bride.

Centralia, Wash.-"Do you take this
man to be your lawfully welded hus-
band?"
Il do not"
This unexpected answer brought a
SUI den ending to the wedding cere-
mony which was almost performed
for Charles E. Caldwell and Nina
Erickson, young couple of Tono,
by the Rev. Robert Reid OF Cen
tralia. The couple had made prepa-
rations for a hasty marriage, the
brides mother being opposed to the
union, and the wedding guests were
assembled in hill back of Tono.
A carriage was in readiness to
convey the newlyweds to this city.
where they were to take the train
for Puget Sound points.
The mother, learning that she had
been outwitted, pretended to take
poison. News of her mothers at
tempted suicide was conveyed to the
bride, who called the wedding off
just as the announcement of man
and wife" was on the lips of the Rev.
Mr.. Reid.

Imperatory Largest of Ocean
Craft, Soon to Be Launched.
Ship viii Be 900 Feet Long-Monster
of the Seas, With $4,000 Ton Ca
pacity, to Have Many Lux
urious Features.

Berlin.-Records for size in the
ocean steamship world are not held
long nowadays. We find a new Col
tath Of the Ocean" of German con-
struction. The new ship now building
for the Hamburg-American line is to
be called Imperator, and will be
launched on the Elbe, Mr.. Kerns tells
US, in few months-"such a vessel"
he says, "as hitherto mans eye has
not beheld" The Imperator will have
a gross tonnage of $4,000, outdoing the
Olympic and Titantic (45,324 and 49,
000). The length of the Imperator
over all will be about 900 feet. Says
Mr. Kern. according to Land und
Nicer:
1T would be impossible for man at
the bow of the Imperator to recognize
with the naked eye another standing
in the stern. If we think of the I'M
perator set up on end beside the cathe-
dral of Cologne, the heavens reaching
tower would come only to the second
funnel of the steamship. To get a
still better idea of the size of the YES
sci, it may be compared with one of
the largest warehouses in the world
the new store of Tietz on the Alexan-
derplatz in Berlin. which, although for
ty houses were demolished to make
room for 1t, could be placed entirely
inside of the Imperator. The steam

is than the vessels which once held
the worlds record for size:
The Deutschland, once the largest

which at the time she was built, and
for ten years after, was one of the
wonders of the world, displaced $500
tons; the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
of the same line. 24600 tons, and the
giant of English ocean liners, the
Mauretania, $4,000. Each of the fun
nels of the Imperator will be so large
that steamer like those which ply
on the river Spree could sail through
it lengthwise.

vey, in the case of the Imperator, an

PLAN NEW "ELECTRIC RAIL"
Railroads and Steel Men Trying Hard
to Find Solution of Battling
Problem.

New York.-An open hearth steel
rail finished by an electrical process
being perfected by the United States
Steel corporation is the chief present
hope of the steel makers and railroad
men, who are looking for solution
Of the battling rail problem. In the
mills the new rail is known as the
electric rail" and statement by one
of the railroad presidents who at
tended the recent rail conference ex-
plains:
IF this electrical process does not
contain the secret, then we shall have
TO rely on a rail heavier than that we
have been using. We shall have to
put in hundred-pound rail at a cost
of more than $50 ton. At the con-
ference with the steel men last week
we demanded that more be cut off
the ends of rails after they had been
rolled and more cut off the ends of
the ingots before they were rolled
The idea of this is to prevent air
holes and other defects. The steel
men were averse to this unless we
consented to pay more for the prod
uct. However, in the end they agreed
to make a concession and to cut off
a little more from the ends, although
they declined to go as far as we
asked at the present price, which we
think ample.
UNLESS this electric rail solves the
problem, my belief is we shall have
to put in a heavier rail if we want it
as hard as those now in use. If not,
we shall have to use a softer one,
which will wear out in half the time"

COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

1t is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is poison to at least one
person out of every three, but people
are slowly finding it out, although

fore they discover the fact.

restless, nervous and excited, so that /
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.

the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that l try Postum. l laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she

disappeared. She recommended me to
