You can't tell ME that romance
is dead" says Macmillan John st.
George, a local lawyer of 156 N.
Clark street.
And Macmillan knows what he is
talking about. For he worked his
way to Europe on cattleboat, rode
a bicycle 10000 miles through
strange lands on 40 cents a day, and
won the heart of rich and beautiful
Italian nobIewoman in her marble
mansion on the Bay of Naples.
Max was not rich. Besides, he had
his own ideas of travel. He wanted
to see and study PEOPLE. So he
made up an itinerary of 10000 milee,
covering nearly every part of Europe,
took his bicycle and $3.50 and started.
And then, in the south of Italy, the
wandering knight of the bike found
a fairy princess.
He had spent the morning among
the ruins of old Pompeii, and paused
at Casteilammare di Stabia to eat his
lunch beside a marble villa overlook
ing the lovely Bay of Naples. Curious
villagers gathered around the strange
visitor in khaki, with his dusty BIZ

A welI-dressed woman used to call
two or three times a week at the
silk coUnter-where Bess worked.
She bought lots of silk. Of course,
she spent considerable money, but
her commission on Bess would have
given her a handsome margin over
all expenses.
Finally she made a proposition

Chances Are Improving.

Establishment of permanent head
quarters of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen in
Washington was brought before the
convention for the first time today. An
attempt was made to bring the matter
to VOTE but II was decided to let the
convention proceed according to sched-
ule, and the matter was postponed. 1t
was stated. however. that the chances
Tor Washington's obtaining the head
quarters seem better as the sessions of
the convention progress
Discussion of two constitutional ques-
tions took up practically the entire
time OF the convention today One was
whether the officers, after the convention
itself had already selected its next con-
vention city, should have the right un-
der certain conditions to change that
selection.
1t was argued that conditions miGnt
arise which could not be foreseen Ey
the convention, and that the power
should be vested in the officers to
change the selection under certain cir
cumstances. After considerable lis
cussion. it was voted that the selec-
ton made by the convention shall be
mail
The convention did not come to a
vote on the question of raising the
salaries of officers, as it was expected
they would. but 1t was stated that
when II does come to vote, the raise
will be granted by a large majority.

ALEXANDRIA D C June 6.

With a view to settling the question
OF CITY taxes on the sale of liquors,
which is the point of difference between
the board OF aldermen and the common
council in the license law now pending.
it has been suggested that the question
be settled by the people in the primary
on July S. when the several candidates
for the legislature may be willing to
express opinions for the guidance OF the
voters
The two boards of city council seem
to be hopelessly deadlocked. On ad-
journment of the called meeting on
Tuesday night, after Intellectual efforts
of conference committees to agree upon
the schedules. the matter was left to
the presidents of the two boards to
serve as conferees in an effort to effect
an agreement A conference was held
yesterday afternoon and another this
morning but no special meeting has
been called. II is taken to mean that
no agreement has been reached. 1t is
understood the board of aldermen
agreed to make the license $500 this
year. $500 next year. and $3.50 the fol-
lowing year.
