Husbands

Berlin June 6.-Fraulein Wilhelmine

in 1906 for frauds perpetrated in her
capacity as matrimonial agent, an
nounces the coming publication of her
memoirs. They have been purchased
by Swiss firm of publishers and will

simultaneously.
Frau Harteret dealt principally III
arranging marriages between impe-
cunious German aristocrats and veal
thy American girls. Her agents toured
the United States, marking down FAM
lilies who, having attained wealth, de-
sired to contract matrimonial alliances
with European noblemen. introduce
tons were effected between American
girls and the neblemen in question
Frequently younger. sons or poorer
members of great families came to her
for American wives.
Frau Harteret claims to have ar
ranged fourteen such marriages and
declares she will furnish names and
proofs. She declared attempts have
been made to induce her to abandon
the publication of her book in return

MORE BLOOMS
FROM COTTON
ARE RECEIVED
FROM A LOCAL PLANTATION
Brought in From Mr.. Dykes
Place

More cotton blooms were received
yesterday at The Times-Recorder Of
fee, when Lucius Smith, colored
brought in a cluster of buds from a
cotton plant which were just on the
verge of opening, This is the largest
Lumber of blooms yet received from
any cotton field here or elsewhere.
The fact that the blooms came about
a week later than those that were
reported from the Harmon place near
here and the Simmons farm, near Lea
ry, Ga, does not prevent the blooms
being classed among the very early
ones, as but comparatively few blooms
have been received here up to date.
Now that the competition for the
first bloom is over, it will be hot and
strenuous to see who can furnish the
first boil, The Times-Recorder con-
fidently expects boil to be brought in
within the next few weeks, or as early
after the blooms as it is possible for
the hollis to be developed.

A great improvement in point of

Wild PIGEON
EGGS SOUGHT
Offers $l,lOO For Them to
Save Species

Milwaukee, June 6.-Rewards ag-
gregating 81 100 are available for bird
lovers if they will find an undisturb-
ed nest of pair of the nearly extinct
passenger pigeons. In pamphlet is
sued recently by Professor c. T. Hodge
of Clark University, northeastern Wis
consin is designated as "the most like
ly spot on the continent" for the find
ing of the specimens.
The object of the rewards, which
are offered to bird lovers in every
state in the union, is to determine
whether or not the species has be-
come extinct. The rewards were Of
fered last year, but despite exhaustive
investigation, not a single reward was
claimed. Many nestlings were re-
ported, but they were all found to be
either doves or mourning pigeons.
The wild or passenger pigeon always
nests in trees, generally ten or more
feet from the ground, and lays but
one egg. In case any of the species
are found the finder is requested to
communicate at once with Professor
c. F. Hodge, giving exactly the date,
hour, number in flock and direction of
fight. AS soon as the report can be
confirmed the reward will be forward

Times Recorder Readers Can M
Longer Doubt the Evidence.

Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Americas pertinent question has
always been, Has anyone here III
Americas been cured?" The word of
a stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
of our own citizens, whom we know
and respect, and whose evidence We
can so easily prove.

100000 Want
THE INCREASE
Union Vets Hungry For New
Pensions

Washington, D. c., January 6.-The
'dollar-a-day'' pension bill became a
law two weeks ago. Already more
than 100000 APPLICATIONS for increase
have been received at the pension Of
fee There are 5O,027 civil war veter-
ans registered as alive, and 100000 of
them are expected to apply for the
larger pay. Perhaps 10000 more will
get on the rolls.
There is no telling how much this
increase will cost the government"
says Commissioner James L. Daven-
port. More than $4,000 veterans die
each year, and the rate of mortality
will increase However, about half of
those who die leave widows who are
entitled to pension, provided that they
had been married to the pensioner
prior to June 81, 1890"
The last pensioner of the revolu-
tionary war died only year ago.
Over 100 widow pensioners of the war
of 1912 are still on the list.
Estimates as to the cost of the dol
lar-a-day act range from $20,O0O,OO0
to $40,000,000, evidence that the con-
gressmen who passed the bill had no
idea how much money they were ap-
propriating. Civil war pensions have
already cost US $4,135,719,S36. The
most expensive thing war is not troops
or battleships, but pensions.

year ago. Textile goods are a trife
cheaper.
The average increase in food prod.
ucts is nearly 20 per cent, which
means that the housewife must pay Sc
to fill a basket that only cost her S.
to fill in June, 1911. In other words
dollar will only buy fve-sixths as
much as it did a year ago.
The biggest advances have been in
meat products, beef 26 per cent, hog
products 40 per cent, and mutton over
so per cent Dealers lay the in
, crease to last years poor hay crops
and the general high cost of animal
provender. Poor crops are also held
responsible for higher breadstuffs.
Economists differ as to the reason
for the general upward tendency of all
commodities during recent years which
has been world wide.

"Only an Instrument I'm the

New York, June 6-"All the ambition

that he was great hero, the captain

"A hero-nO; but my men were he

ficers were heroes, and what did was
only through that splendid spirit which
swept like flash from the heavens

When Capt. Rostron entered the box
to the left of the stage, accompanied
by several officers of the Carpathia, a
great cheer went over the house.

most OF these have been stocked with

Things being in such a satisfactory
condition, DR.. Mccoy is resolved up.
on policy Of a more economical
management of affairs. Last month
some of the inspectors were reduced
from SIS to $40 a month, effecting a
saving of about 500. Other minor
items will be carefully scrutnized by
the representatives of the Marine
Hospital Service, as the doctor be-
lieves that the saving Of pennies eff
fects the ultimate conservation Of
dollars. To cite one instance of the
vigilance of the argus-eyed doctor:
He discovered that the laundry
brought towels to his office every day.
This he considered unnecessary, and
therefore negotiated with the laundry
to bring towels only three times a
week, in this way affecting a saving
Of nearly seventy-ive cents monthly.
1t is in such ways that the money
of the taxpayers will be conserved
under the able management of DR..
Mccoy of the United States Marine
Hospital Service.
