AdTrw to Marry an Mart. The Earl of Wemyss, who Is 82 years ojd, is, it is said, about to marry again. Gossip has it that the bride is to be Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the well-known actress. The earl's wife died in 189C Smyrna, tn ancient times one'of the most important and now by far the greatest of the cities of Asia Minor has preserved an unbroken continuity of record and identity of name from the first dawn of history to the present time. It is said to have been a L°le- gian city before the Greek colonists settled in Asia Minor. The name, which is said to be derived from an Amazon called Smyrna, Is indubitably Anatolian, having been applied also to a quarter of Ephesus, and (under the cognate form Myrlna) to a city of Aeolis, and to a tumulus in the Troad. The favorable situation of Smyrna on the path of commerce between Lydia and the west raised it during the sev enth century to the height of power and splendor, It lay at the eastern end of an arm of the sea, which reached far inland and admitted the Greek trading ships into the heart of Lydla. Miletus, and at a later time Ephesus, situated at the sea end of the other great trade route across Anatolia, com peted for a time successfully with Smy rna for the conveyance of traffic from the Interior; but both Ephesus and Miletus have long ago lost their har bors, and Smyrna now remains with out a rival. The latter city was found ed on the" site which it still occupies, partly on the slopes erf a rounded hill calta| PafUf near tfee southeast ejid qf much stronger, when magnificent buildings, an imposing acropolis, and the wide circle of massive walls com bined with the natural scenery In one splendid picture. The streets were broad, 'we 11 paved, and regularly laid out at ifight angles; many were named after temples; the main street, called the Golden, .ran across the city from west to east, beginning probably from the Temple of Deirmen Tepe, and continuing to ward Tepejik out side the city on the east,* Fkere prob- Capt C.

Cybele, worshiped under the name of Meter Sipylene, from Mount Slpylus, which bounds the Smyrna valley on the north, was the tutelar goddess of the city. The plain toward the sea was too low to be prop erly grained, and hence in rainy weather/the streets were deep with mud and water. The river Meles, which fiowed by Smyrna, is famous in literature and was worshiped in the valley.

Is cetebrated on Its coins; the same Impression still strikes the spectator, and must in ancient times have been WorKin&t of Bankruptcy Labu. The present bankruptcy law evident ly appeals to debtors more strongly thtfn it does to creditors. During the period ending Sept. 30 last there-were filed in involuntary cases 1,810 peti tions, and in voluntary cases about 21,000 petitions. The debtors who were forced Into bankruptcy owed $27,000,- 000 and their assets amounted to $13,400,000. The liabilities of 19,540 debtors who sought the aid of the law were $264,900,000 and their assets were only $33,098,000. This looks like a tre- meadonis wiping out of indebtedness at a great loss of creditors. As a matter of fact, most of these debts were desperate ones, and could not have been recovered under any circum stances. No harm has been done by freeing from technical liability the men who owed them. The bankruptcy act of 1898 differs from its predeces sors in that men engaged In so many pursuits have taken advantage of it Farmers, wage-earners, and profes sional. men, as well as manufacturers and merchants, have filed petitions. Chicago policemen • who were in the clutches of the loan sharks extricated themselves by the simple expedient of going through bankruptcy. The law needs some amendments to the provi sions concerning involuntary bank ruptcy, but on the whole it is working fairly well. It does not appear that the interests of creditors have been seriously prejudiced by it M EARL OF WEMYSS. (Who ls to Marry Mm Patrick Camp? bell, an English Actress.) and he has a large family.

Good Hoods "Recommendations, Besides providing for a permanent hlghwuy improvement organization, with headquarters in Chicago, the na tional good roads convention recently held in that city adopted certain gen eral recommendations made by a com mittee for the promotion of the end in view. The first recommendation Is rather obscurely worded, but it seems to mean that the state should repeal the provisions of their road laws requiring people to work so many days each year on the roads and substitute therefor a provision requiring cash payment of road taxes. This is reasonable as far as it goes, because the labor under this system is largely ineffective and mis applied; the work is pretty much all done at one time, which is irrational, and it is rarely well directed. It was stated by ons of the speakers at the convention that fully 76 per cent of the wprk done under this system was thrown away. With-the taxes paid in cash and the money used to buy suit able materia1® and appliances and to employ capable workmen and direct them wisely far more and better re sults would be secured at no great ex pense. The second recommendation was that state legislatures make provi sion for the employment of convict la bor in preparation of material for the construction of roads. The third rec ommendation is the passage of suitable during drought, its pleasant water. Its short course, beginning and ending near the city, are celebrated by Arts- tides and Hlmerlus. In the Roman period Smyrna was the seat of a conventus which included southern Aeolis alnd a great part of the Hermus valley. It vied with Ephe sus and Pergamum for the title "First state laws in aid of the work of im provement and the appointment of "non-partisan" highway commission ers. Dumas Memorials. It Is stated that the memorials dt Alexander Dumas, Ills, and of his grandfather, the general, will not be (city) of Asia." A Christian chu existed here from a very early ti: having its origin in the considerable Jewish colony. Poly carp (fc» jr.) was bishop of Smyrna. When Constantinople became the seat of government the trade between Anatolia and the west lost in import ance, and Smyrna declined apace. A Turkish freebooter, named Tsacha Seised Smyrna In 1084 and maintained himself there for some time, but it was recovered by the generals of Alexius Commenus. The city was several times afterward ravaged by the Turks, and had become quite ruinous when the emperor John Ducas Vatatxes about 1222 rebuilt it The famous chieftain Aidin conquered it about 1330 and made his son Amur governor. Soon afterwards the Knights of Saint John established themselves In the town, but' failed to conquer the citadel. In 1402 Timur stormed the town and massacred almost all the inhabitants. The Mongol conquest was only tempo rary, but Smyrna has remained until the present day in Mohammedan hands. It is now the greatest commer cial city In the Levant; its population Is about 200,000,*of whom nearly half are Greeks. It is the terminus of the railway system which Is gradually spreading over Anatolia. Two lines start from Smyrna; one ascends the Hermus valley by Magnesia and Sardls to Alashehr (Philadelphia), about 110 miles; the other goes south by Ephe sus to the Meander valley beside Mag nesia on the Maender and then as cends the valley to the neighborhood of Laodlcea on the Lycus, 143 / miles. Since the revival of the Levant trade by the Genoese and Venetians Smyrna has been the emporium for the whole produce of Anatolia; the chief raw products exported are valonea, figs, raisins, opium, madder, licorice, cot ton, sponges, pmery, etc. Almost the only articles of native manufacture which are exported from Sniyrna are the carpets woven at Geurdis, Coula, Ushak and other places In the Interior. Smyrna has frequently been partially destroyed by earthquakes; that of 178 A. D. Is the most famous, and In 1688, 1768, and 1880 the town suffered se verely. completed for some months to come.

This gifted woman has devoted her life to a battle against Drink and Drinking Habits. Her In fluence for good in Minnesota Is and has been very far reaching. About two years ago however, It seemed as if this noble woman would have to give up her philanthropic Work. Severe pains in her back and under her shoulder blades, made life a burden and work impossible. Physi cians were consulted, and they pre scribed for Kidney Disease. Three month's treatment however, failed to give Mrs. Smith any relief. Her hus band was much exercised, and cast about him for something, that would restore his good wife to ° health and strength. He heard of the cures ef fected by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and ad vised her to try them, which shs did. She is new a well woman and says: "Two weeks after I commenced tak ing Dodd's Kidney Pills, I felt much better, and at the end of seven weeks Was completely cured. I have had no recurrence of the trouble, but I take a pill off and on, and find that It keeps me In good health." Dodd's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers at 50 cents a box.
