 10 Local Charities

Because the person to whom an award of $2,o00 in cash was to have been made at the closing of /, the Y. M. T. A. & B. society fair recently has not come forward to claim the money. the society may donate that amount to local char ities.
 The fair came to a close Oct. 30. Since that time the cash award has been held up awaiting it's rightfulN claimant. The record of ticket sales indicates that the winner is someone outside the city.
 Yesterday at regular meeting of the society the unusual situa- ton was discussed. Members were of the opinion that the money should be given out, but in the absence of proper claimant the society is confronted with a prob lem as to how 1t should be dis posed of. At yesterdays meeting, the president of the organization was authorized to-,name a com mittec to serve with the fair committee in handling the matter, and it was the sense of the meet ing that. unless the money is claimed very shortly. local chari- ties should be favored with the donation.

 He Has Read of Her

 emperor of China, will be married

 Along a richly carpeted roadway, guarded by soldiers of the Chinese republic, the bride will be carried from her home in golden sedan chair through lacquered gates in the forbidden city in Picking, where in room decorated in imperial yellow. she will be received by officials of the Manchu dynasty, who will hold court in style recalling the days of the empress dowager.
 Carloads of presents of jade, silk and porcelains of priceless value are among the gifts now pouring in from all parts of the empire.
 Thousands of humble Chinese car ried tributes to various temples for the boy bridegroom, once expected to be China's supreme ruler. Both bride and bridegroom are described as pro- gressive youths who are not sorry because they have been deprived of their royal places.

He is granted a yearly al lowance by the republic with permis- sion to maintain royal court, pro- vided he does not mix in politics.
