$35,0OO,0O0 CLAIMS
Railroads Lose Fight for Back Pay for
Carrying Mails.

Claims against the government aggre-
eating 5000, 900. fled by the mail-carry-
ing railroads for alleged unlawful deduc-
tions in railway mail pay. were annulled
as invalid by the Supreme Court yester-
day. The claims were for a period OF
eight years and were based on the ground
that the Postofice Department had used
the wrong devisor in computing the aver
age daily weight of mail carried by each
railroad. The decision was in test cases
brought by the Chicago and Alton Rail
road and the Yazoo and Mississippi Rail
road.
The so-called devisor case grew out of
an executive order of March 2. 1907, re-
quiring that the full number of days in
the period Of los days, during which the
mails were then weighed by the govern
ment to determine the compensation to
the railroads. be used as the devisor for
ascertainins the average daily weight of
mail carried by the roads.
Prior to the issuance Of this order, the
mails were weighed during los consecu-
tive days, and. to ascertain the average
daily weight, the total weight carried dur
ing the los days on each route was di-
vided by 20. This course was pursued
under the theory that Sundays were not
working days and hence should not be
counted.

pleased with their work. The locale of
the story is laid in and around the Cana
dian border and deals with the expert
ences of a Secret Service agent who
falls in love with a girl whom he sus-
poets of smuggling gems into this coun-
try. This leads to many exciting scenes,
and interviewer are several charming
love episodes which both Mr.. Lockwood
and Miss Allison handle in their usual
clever and fascinating manner.

full popularity in SO short while, will
be the headline attraction Wednesday

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and womeu
who Have shared 1t.
BY MARY MARSHALL.
January 18-Baron de Stael-HoIstein
and Germaine Necker.

January 1s-Baron de StaeI-HoIsteiu
and GermaiRe Necker.
Il foresee regrets at every instant
wrote the great French authoress
Madame de Stael. to her mother very
shortly after her marriage II pray
that 1 may be worthy of you" One
would not think from this letter that
the young bride was especially happy
in her early married days, but her re-
grets at marrying de Stael were prob
ably all due to her grief at leaving
her parents with whom she had spent
an extremely happy youth.
At the time of her marriage Ger
maine Necker was nearly 20 and was
one of the richest heiresses in France.
Her fortune rather than her charms
for Germaine was not beautiful-had
attracted the interest OF the Baron de
Stael-Holstein, secretary of the
Swedish embassy in Paris. He was q
protestant like herself and possessed
elegant manners and an amiable dis
position" to quote the quaint phrase
ology Of Madame de Staers biographer.
But unlike Germaine he was much in
debt and needed her assistance inan-
cially. His suit was looked upon with
favor and on the whole he must have
been a desirable husband. for in ac-
cepting him Germaine's parents re-
fused the Prince Augustus. of Neck
lenburg. and William Pitt. the ex-
tremely brilliant young English states
man. Germaine herself was averse to
the English suitor and her parents
would not consider the German prince
because they had 1t on very good au-
thority that he Sought her hand only
because of her enormous dover"
In marrying the Baron de Stael Ger
maine's parents insisted on having q
paper drawn up in which 1t was stipu-
lated that she should not have to leave
Paris and this document the king and
the queen signed, as we'll as the Baron
and Germaine's parents.
Following the wedding the young
couple. after the French custom of the
time. spent the first few days with her
parents, and then took up their resi-
dence in the husbands French home.
Although Germaine was not beautiful
she had may beautiful features. Her
eyes were magnificent and her hair
was luxurious. Her bad looks were
due almost entirely to her conspicuous
lack of grace. an awkwardness in man
ner that attracted attention from the
