Miss Hilda Holmes. now Mrs Holloway,
is the daughter of Artemas Holmes. ESQ.
one of New York's interesting millionaires,
the granddaughter of former Mayor Grace.
of New York, and a favorite member Of
fashionable society.
No, the lovely lady was not the disillu-
sionized man-hater who so feelingly said
that the more she saw of men the more
she liked dogs. No, indeed. Her suitors
might have been counted by the score:
That is. until she finally settled down to
keeping steady company with Harvey
Ladew.
Newport and New York society will
never get over the Ladew-Holmes affair;
it kept the gossips busy for several years
and every one was sure that Hilda would
sell her dogs and live happily with Ladew.
The dogs, about eighteen of them, knew
better, and finally broke up the match
just as they had broken up similar affairs
with Frank Burke Roche. Thornton VIII
son and half a dozen other fashionable
young blades.
Not for an instant did the fair Hilda put
her lovers to any foolish test or set any
special standard. All she wanted of them
was that they should love her dogs as

And now Mr. Ladew is in France and

sailed away for Peru.
And by the same steamer has sailed the
brides favorite police dog recently re-
christened Pershing and a perfectly bully
chow dog who bears the name of Ckink,
the gift OF Harry Ladew.
Mr.. Holloway is a determined man.
When his firm sent him to Peru three
years ago they told him that conditions
down there were bad and would probably
be worse. But within year he had made
them a great deal better, and wher he

very well and the googe was hanging very

Another Example of Teuton
Treachery.

With the American Army in France,
Sept. 10.-Grim-faced, begrimed and
stained after several days of desper-
ate, continuous battle, a platoon Of
marines was firing rapidly but calmly
and accurately at the Hun ranks.
The foes numbers were in the ma
jority but the sea soldiers fire was
proving speedily evening.
Suddenly the Huns dropped their
rifles and cried "kamerad.'
The marines waited for the sur
rendering enemy to approach. When
the foe came within 200 yards their
frst lines dropped. They had been
dragging machine guns by ropes at
tached to their belts.
About 80 marines fell before their

same time refuse to interfere in any
way with the price which may he de.
manded for cotton. This is a policy
against which Iowa people have pro-
tested, but in which protest Porter has
not taken any part.
1t is we'll remembered that when the
mattel of price fixing came up at
Washington, those who nave been di-
recting affairs were quite ready t.
limit the price of wheat, which is a
staple of the western and northwest
ern farmers. but every effort to induce
them also to fix price on the staple
of the southern planters was met with
resistance impossible to overcome.
An effort has been made to induce
Porter to say he is not in accord with
"the administration on this policy,
but he has remained silent.
Indications are that the farmers are
taking notice Of the issue of wheat
VS.. cotton.
