Her Marriage

"
Her Marriage.
1t has become known here that Miss
Gladys Barnes, only daughter of Hamlin
G. Barnes, was married in Rochester on
Christmas night to Walter Winot, fore
man for the Eastern Tale company at
its mines in that town. The brides nu-
merous friends here, though expecting
her marriage to Mr.. Winot, were taken
by surprise and in fact did not learn of
the event until some time after it oc-
cured. She is an active member of the
grange. She may continue to be her
fathers housekeeper during the present
winter a position which she has filed
since the death of her mother nearly
three years ago.

 II CONFERENCES
TALKS OF SUBMARINE AUTO
Inventor Has Idea of Submersibe Which He Believes Will Prove
 70 Be Wonder.

An improved submersible which he is confident will revolutionize even the comparatively new science of un- dersea fighting is being worked out by Simon Lake, inventor of the even- keel submarine. Lakes new inven- tion is nothing more nor less than a submarine auto, a submersible craft that will run for many miles on the seas bottom. To prevent pounding by ground swells, the wheels are sus- pended on swinging arms with a cushioning cylinder.
 One hundred of these craft on the Atlantic coast, fifty on the Pacific and fifty to guard our colonies and to undertake aggressive warfare in the enemy's own country would be sufficient, believes the inventor, to render the United States impreg- nable from attack. It is Lakes luea that We must put our navy un- der water before an invader does 1t with shot and shell.
 The submarine auto would be equipped with diving bell, kept free of water by compressed air, as are caissons used in constructing the foundations of bridges and high buildings. From out of the bell, divers would operate to lay mines directly under the vessels of hostile fleet.
 An auxiliary system of undersea supply stations is also contemplated in Lakes new system of national de- fense.
