In Tibet they fi,ave not yet pro.

the Tibetans are at about the stage
reached by Europeans six centuries
ago. At that time IN switzerland they
used long cable aud swinging carrier

another a little lower down.
Now. in Tibet they do not try to
build bridges across the Mekong river.
but where there are high cliffs a cable

river. and for n trifiing fee the person
who wishes TO cross clings 10 a thick

IL he wants to cross back he must go
farther up or down the river to point
where another cable Is stretched from
n high cliff TO the other side. and again
he performs the slide for life
This may not he a very comfortable

Hating the Pankhurst Hat.

II begins to look as if Mrs. Pank-
hurst was in fair way to kill the
goose that was supposed to lay the
golden eggs. The goose, in this in
stance, is composed of the enthus-
lasts in this country who were
willing to pay out the coin of the
realm in order to hear the voice
of the militant suffragette from John
Bulls tight little isle. At her open
ing in New York, in spite OF the
extraordinary advertising she receiv-
ed as result of her temporary de-
tention at Ellis Island, Mrs. Pank-
hurst met with the severest kind OF
frost" Now the news comes from
Indianapolis that the snffragette
will not address the Woman's Fran
chise League of Indiana. as planned,
because the women of that locality
decline to be gouged.
1t seems that Mrs. Pankhurst re-
Quested that she be permitted to take
up a collection at the meeting, in
addition to the stipulated sum for
which she had at first agreed to ad-
dress the league. The secretary Of
the western organization says that
the English militant will not be per-
mitted to take up a collection, and
that, in consequence, the meeting
has been Cancelled.
The American people have been
looked on as ''easy marks" by SEN
sationalists in the past, and the man
ner in which they have surrendered
their cash at times would seem to
justify the phrase, but. unless all
signs fail, they do not propose to
be taken In by the latest money

FOUR VISIT PHILLY;
TWO PAIRS RETURN
Misses Dudley and Dinmoek Come
Back Home as Mesdames
Nickol and Fowler.

After keeping their friends in ignor-
ance Of the double wedding in which
they participated in Philadelphia last
Saturday. Mr.. and Mrs. Fred p. Nickol,
Of 15i3 Sixth Street Northwest. and Mr.
and Mrs. James Z. Fowler. announced
their marriage last night Mrs. Nickol
was formerly Miss Ella NJ. Dudley, of
1853 Ninth Street Northwest. and Mrs
Fowler was Miss Ethel Dimmock, of
12so Maryland Avenue Northeast.
The two couples left Union Station
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. and by
o'clock the same afternoon were mar
ried. They returned at once. The cere-
monies were performed in Philadelphia
by Rev. Mr.. Dougherty. a Presbyterian
minister.
No one was aware of the coming mar
rage, not even the parents OF the young
people. They were shocked at the FIRST
intimation OF the double ceremony, but
were quickly reconciled and gave their
blessings.
When asked why they had sought out
n Philadelphia minister instead of pat
ronizing Washington's Gretna Green,
Rockville, the former Miss Dudley re-
piled that their idea had been to escape
newspaper publicity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nickc, will make their
new home at 1913 Sixth Street North
west. and will be at homa after April !.
Mr.. and Airs. Fowler have made NJ def
