GIRLS WED BROTHERS
THROUGH MAIL COURTSHIP
Factory Workers Write Their Names
on Glass Wrappers and SWANS
Respond From Afar.

CORNING, n Y, August 2.-Just one
year ago today six young women of this
city were wrapping glass at the Steuben
glass works The conversation took a
matrimonial turn.
Among the girls were Miss Dorothy
Perkins and Miss Sadie Pymm. The girls
decided that if buXom country lassies
could obtain desirable husbands by writ
ing their names on fresh country eggs,
why could not dainty cut glass packers
write their names the tissue paper
which incloses the fragile glass and there
by take q chance in loves lottery" toe? ?
IT was so ordered The glass was ship
ned TO n Cleveland firm, where Henry w.
Endress. a. stockkeeper. iii unwrapping
the glass discovered the names of the
fair sextet from Corning. He let his
brother William into the secret, and each,
selecting n name wrote postcard. Will
liam chose Miss Pynm and Henry Miss
Perkins. Their advances were accepted
by the Young women singled out as ia
yorites and a correspondence resulted.
Then the SWANS came on from Cleve-
land here. and the attraction was accen-
tuated. Last week Miss Pymm married
William and today Miss Perkins married
Henry.
The remaining quartet, in the light of
the success of their sisters, are not yet
without hope.

Confident He Will Win.

The Lee leaders and lieutenants assert
that nothing can beat the Montgomery
man at this stage of the game. They say
the fight is over. that the organization
has waited too long and that no machine
can overcome the lead which Lee has OBJ
tanned. They claim that Lee will have
1O1 votes on the first ballot at the nom-
mating convention, and give a list OF
counties he will carry as follows: Al
legany, Z; Anne Arundel. 3; second dis
trict Of Baltimore city, Z: third district
Of Baltimore city, Z: Calvert. 3; Carohne.
4: Carroll, 4: Charles. 3; Dorchester, .;
Frederick, 6; Garrett, 4; Harford, :;
Kent. 3: Montgomery, 3: Prince Georges
8: Queen Anne 3; Somerset, = ST;
Marys. j. Talbot, 4; Washington, o. ana
Wicomico, 4.
In the above list the Lee leaders claim
six counties for their candidate when
were carried by German against Lee In
the gubernatorial primary in III. as Well
as two districts in this city These carry
a total Of "A votes and 1T Is declared tnat
Talbot could carry these counties easier
than German did two years ago. II
these votes be deducted from the claims
of the Lee leaders. there will remain for
the Montgomery candidate only 81 votes,
eight less than are necessary to win.

Choice of Maryland 0rganiza-

Senatorship.
IS EXPECTED TO MAKE
FORMIDABLE SHOWING
Break Of Montgomery Man With
Representative Lewis May Hurt
His Chances.
Special Correspondence of The Star.


BALTIMORE. Md, August ., 1913.
The democratic state organization, hav-
ing fallen asleep at the switch while
Blair Lee was making hay, has suddenly
aroused from lethargy and is now bring
ing every influence to bear to induce Rep
reSentative Talbot to enter the short
term senatorial race. The whole move
has been engineered by Senator Smith,
who appears to have come suddenly to a
realization that the success of Lee would
in all likelihood mean disaster to the Sc
nior Maryland senator next year.
Smith and his advisers also realize that
Talbot Is the one man in the state today
who could give Lee hard run and prob
ably beat out the Montgomery man. 1t is
generally understood that Talbot will de-
eide to make the fight and an announce
ment to that effect is expected at an early
day The friends of the Baltimore county
leader assert that he will beat Lee with
comparative ease. They have doped the
whole thing out and give Talbot seventy
six votes on the first ballot in the nomi-
mating convention.
Here is what the organization claim for
the representative: Allegany county, Z;
Anne Arundel, ); four districts of Balti-
more city, %; Baltimore county. Z; Cal
vert 3; Carroll, ); Dorchester, ); How
ard, 3; ST. Marys, ); Washington, g.

IN Split With Lewis.

The Lee adherents have been banking
strongly on western Maryland, but seri-
Gus rift has pulled in Washington county
and it is doubtful if the Lee people can
fix things up in that territory. Represen-
tative Lewis who has great following
in that county. has switched from Lee
and will support Talbot if the represen-
tative decides to run. The trouble with
the Lee people has all come about through
federal patronage. The Lewis people as
sert that their representative has been
'double-crossed and uppercut" by the
Marbury-Lee influence at the White
House.
The representative has urged for APP
pointment constituents who We're favor
able to Lee and Smith for the United
States Senate. and the claim is made that
these men were not recognized at the pie
counter, because they were not for Will
liam l.. Marbury instead of Smith. Lewis
is said to feel that Lee should have gone
strong for his recommendations and this
it is claimed Lee failed to do, and it is
further stated that Lee refused to di-
vorce his candidacy from that of Mar
bury.
Lee is also reported to be up against a
fight in his own county. 1t comes upon
reliable authority that Arther Peter was
among those who attended the conference
last Monday in this city when the Tai
bolt candidacy was launched Now. Mr.
Peter and his brother are bitter against
Lee, and Arthur stood firmly with Straus
and others at the pow-woW that Lee must
be opposed. 1t Is known that the Peter
brothers will leave no stone unturned to
whang Lee in their home county. Straus
has pledged himself to take the stump for
Talbot. and young German will also
take off his coat, roll up his sleeves and
cover the state to land his erstwhle po-
litical enemy in the upper house of Con-
UreSS

Highest Of French Alps.


In 1864 Whymper turned aside from the
Matterhorn to make what seems to the
writer one of his chief feats-the ascent
Of the Pointe des Ecrins. This is the
highest of the French Alps, and in 1864
was still unconquered. 1t Is an exceed
ingy steep and smooth tooth Of rock.
1t was one of the severest climbs that
Whymper ever had in his career, full
of peril and physical suffering. The party
reached the summit by the glacier of the
Ancula. Read again Whympers descrip-
ton of this glacier:
Imagine a triangular plane 100 or 500
feet high set at an angle exceeding 20
degrees: let it be smooth, CLASSY; let the
uppermost edges be cut into spikes and
teeth, and let them be bent some one
way. some another. Let the CLASSY face be
covered with minute fragments of rock.

Imagine this, and then you will have a
very faint idea of the face of the Ecrins.

to avoid detaching stones, which, as they
fell, caused words uncomfortable to rise

itself, though Whymper, in his modesty.
makes little of 1t. This was the first of
the great Chamonix Aiguilles to be as
cended.
1t was not until his eighth attempt on
the 18th of July, 1865, that Whymper
finally attained the summit of the Mat
terhorn. He left Zermatt at $50 in the
morning with three guides Michel
Auguste CroZ. whom Whymper loved as a
brother; old Peter and young Peter Taug-
valdez, Lord Francis Douglas, the Rev.
Charles Hudson and Mr.. Hadow, a young
man Of nineteen. After long study.
Whymper had rejected the usual route up
the Matterhorn by the southwest or Itai-
ian ridge: Prof. John Tyndall and he. by
their frultless emulation of each other.
had stuck to this traditional route. Mr..
Whymper now determined to try the
eastern face, convinced, as he says. that
its almost perpendicular appearance from
Zermatt was an optical Illusion and that

ian side formed continuous series Of

opposite side would become a great nat
ural staircase with steps inclining inward
This apparently trivial deduction was the
key to the ascent of the Matterhorn, and
this route has since become the usual

RICHMOND, Va, August . 1913
Charges and counter charges have been
made in the closing primary campaign.
which shows that the primary plan Is
not as popular as many people wish.
With the factions of the democratic
party in this state there Is bitterness.
hatred and feeling which will never dis
appear. Candidates for office have had
to get the imprimatur of men in Wash
ington before they announced their can
didacy. This is certainly true in the
case OF the contest for attorney gen.
eral.
One OF the latest phases OF the cam
paign is the intimation that Gov. Mann
is opposing George W. Koiner for COM
missioner of agriculture because Mr..
Koiner did not acquiesce in n suggestion
made by Attorney General Williams that
the agricultural board should pay the
son of the governor Si00 in recognition
of his services to the state in the lime
grinding cases. The opposition of Gov.

months or more. and was because of the
alleged hostility of MIR. koiner tn the
united agricultural board and his re-
fusal to cooperate with that board I'm
behalf of the agricultural interests of the
state i'll any way. Gov. Mann is sup
porting Mr.. Brown for the place which
Mr.. koiner now holds. and there are
many officials in the various departments
who are taking the same stand as the
governor As a matter of fact IL was
expressly understood when the govern
or's son entered the case in the courts
that he did not expect and would not re-
ceive any fee.

Pastor Enters Politics.

Within the last few days there has APP
peared circular letter from the Rev. w.
c. James. written the stationery Of
the Grove Avenue Baptist Church adj
dressed to the alumni of Richmond Coll
lege. which appeals for support for John
Garland Pollard for attorney general.
This is the 1irst approach of a church
and denominational college for the
support of member of that church and
an alumnus OF denomination college.
The letter in question was sent to the
alumni in the state. the one sent to John
c. Weckert of this city. lawyer, being
handed to newspaper men for such usoy
as the papers might see tit. AS matter
of fact, the Baptists are very powerful
in Virginia, and when they vote solidly
they generally come near to naming the
winner for positions.
Attorney General Williams and Samuel
Gordon Cumming. the other two candi-
dates for attorney general, are making
swift visits to all parts of the state, and
tomorrow they will make their last
speeches. then going home to vote. Mr..
Pollard is<to visit Winchester. and then
drops down to Brunswick county for his
last speech.

Will Name Judge Rhea.

known that Gov. Mann will name Judge
William F. Rhea of Bristol, who will
complete his first term of six years at
that time. Judge Rhea has been one or
the hardest working members of that
body. and through his efforts he has
taxes by having the mineral lands prop
erly assessed. Judge Rhea was first APP
pointed by Gov. Swanson.
Gov. Mann was seventy years old on
Wednesday. Discussing his age, the gov
ernor declared that he felt strong as
he did when forty, said he could do as
much work at the law, and thought he
announced that when his term OF office
expires he will open an office in this city
and practice with his son.

These are reforms that would never
have been accomplished had It not
been fo.. the Equity movement: but
they arc reforms concerning which the
independent says nothing. They are
reforms which tho slain combine will
