New York. Feb. l.--president-

the conclusion drawn from his state
ment of the night before that the
name OF William j. Bryan was the
aply one he could remember oil
those that had been suggested to
him for the position Of Secretary OF
State.
The conclusion OF every corre-
spondent who heard his statement
was THAI Mr.. Bryan would un-
doubtedly get the place. 1t was ar
gued that II Mr. Bryan was the only
candidate in his mind, Mr.. Bryan
was necessarily the only one being
seriously considered but the

WANTS EN- BRANDED.
Lady COOkThinks RedhOt Iron Would
Help Eradicate Social Evil.

Emphasizing her remarks with
flashing eyes and vigorous gestures,
Lady Cook, formerly Tennessee Claf-
lin, advocated drastic measures to
prevent the marriage of men physi-
cally unfit.
Her method of preventing such
marriages and their subsequent evils
is for physicians to break the code
of ethics which forbids them to tell
the world when they discover a man
unfit, but to brand him with hot
iron so that he will be known and
stunned.
There would be no social evil to
combat in the next decade if this
method was followed" she said.
There would be but one standard
of morality, and man would be fore
ed to abide by it's demands the same
as woman is now" New York

PLAGUE OF DADDY LONGLEGs.
London Golfer Says Insect is pot 81
Harmless as Many Suppose.

This year has seen an extraordi

familiarly known as daddy long

he has watched hundreds of these
creatures emerging from the chry'
sails state on golf green.
His tone of mild interest, how.
ever, might have been somewhat diff
ferent had he known that these
"animated diagrams of Euclid" were
sworn enemies of golf greens, anc
were the cause of many an ugly scal

The grub feeds on the roots ot
grass, and naturally, when these are
destroyed, the grass withers away
leaving ugly brown patches, which
ruin the appearance of many fine

into a chrysalis and is about tc

to work it's way to the surface.
Then, when about two-thirds Of il

bursts and from it emerges Daddy

TO BE AN ARMY OF COLLECTORS
Treasury Department to Appoint In
come Tax Gatherers.

Washington, Nov. with most
of the regulations for the collection
sf the income tax out of the way
internal revenue officers to-day turn
ed their attention to the selection OF
the staff to collect the money. In
the next few months three hundred
and thirty-four deputy collectors. 20
agents and 40 inspectors are to be
appointed.
Several thousand applications for
these positions have been received
at the treasury department. Appoint
ments probably will be apportioned
among the States and in most cases
successful applicants will need the
endorsement of collectors of internal
revenue in their districts and be ac-
ceptable to Senators and Congress
men.
Although the operation of the in
come tax law so far as concerned
collections at the source of income
began to-day, the actual cash will
not reach the treasury for many
months. Corporations and others
who pay interest on bonds or mort
cages, or who pay salaries or other
forms of income, must withhold the
normal tax of l per cent except as
provided by the law. The return of
the sums withheld will be made early
in the year, but the collections will
not begin until June.
Secretary McAdoo said the regula-
tions for the collection of the tax
put out by the department might
require changes from time to time.

So long as his sister lived the house
remained, but at her death it passed
into the hands of two more distant
relatives who had no sentimental
feelings concerning it, and who could
make no use of it themselves. Rent
ing it was an impossible proposition.
No one wanted house so construct
ed, and it was a white elephant on
the hands of the heirs. Finally, after
three years of effort, it was sold for
$4,000, about what the land was
worth.
When it came to selling the furni-
ture the shrinkage was still greater.
In the big double parlors Cummings
had two chandeliers of silver filled
with prisms of cut glass that had
cost him $500. They were almost
large enough for a theater; they sold
for $3.50 apiece. The hand-carved
bedsteads, which had cost him $500
apiece, sold for $40 and S12 each.
White marble mantels which he had
brought from Italy, but which were
of style in vogue half century
ago, went for s25, which was less
than it had cost to bring them 10

his palatial billiard room, which had
cost $50 per window, but upon which
the master had never seen the sun

Lloyd Hayes was released by the
Court before the trial, and Neal
Hayes was tried with his wife and
acquitted The trial of the case at
tracted wide attention.

came to Wilmington, where they
lived a few months, then removing
to Columbia, where, it is alleged,
Mrs. Hayes deserted her husband
and two small children. The chill
dren have been placed in an orphan
age in South Carolina, it is said.
