By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age-HeraId,

800 Davidson Building. Washington, November 1G.-(Spe- cial.)-The anti-beer bill. with votes to spare. will be passed by the Sem ate Friday at noon. As soon as the sanction of the House can be had, the recent rules and regulations issued by the treasury department will be null and void. It is not anticipated that the President will veto the bill.
 The long fight against the bill was led by Senator Broussard of Louisi- ana and Senator Stanley of Ken lucky. The former took the position that the anti-beer bill was at va riance with the constitution of the United states, which proceeds against alcoholic liquors as bever- ages, but not as medicines. Senator Stanleys effort was in behalf of an

were united in the eyes of the Jaw. Della signed her name with firm hand and determined set to her lips. Farrel, on the contrary, had been nervous, and his signature of the sprawly order.
 Wonder if he's already regretting the step he's taken?" thought Madam Della, aeyeing him askance.
 But, in the excitement of the going away, she soon forgot such ques- tionings.
 They drove to a first-class hotel for dinner.
 'Farrel evidently intends to do the thing in style" Delia's heart warmed to him. She appreciated expenditure and display.
 The lounge of the hotel was filled with well dressed throng.

 Extrmely modified, then, the bride seated herself in the lounge, with Farrel beside her.
 The place was full of out-of- town visitors

 The bride was about to make some suitable response, when-suddanlv catching sight of little, rotund. yui- gar-looking man-the words literally troze on her lips, and She stiffened all over. Her eyes fixed themselves in an alarmed stare, so that she seemed to forget time and place and everything, till Farrel whispered: tWhat on earth,s the matter. De- ha? Have you seen a ghost?"
