Eloped Three Times and Happy at Last. London, April 17--The elopement of Louisa Appleton, a 17-year-old milliner, whose 'parents live in London, and = (Wpere Woman Rules and Rule is Henry Coles, a Bournemouth hair- dresser's apprentice, one year his swveetheart's senior, had a romantic ending at Birmingham yesterday. e earlier in the week was sent to jail in default of paying a fme for travelling on the railway without having previously paid. his fare, but friends secured his liberation. On {Thursday the magistrate and women missioners who attend the gourt did all they could to induce the girl fo return to her parents, but she declined to be separated from her lover, and when she was again brought before the magistrate yesterday morning -it-- was announced that the consent of the par- ents had been obtained and the youth- ful pair would become man and wife that day. The girl was accordingly discharged. There was .an affecting scene 'when the lovers met again in the corridors of the court. They rushed 'into each other's arms, apparently quite oblivious | of the curious crowd which watched | their movements, not unsympathetical | Y- Then the boy amd girl left the court with two. police court commissioners later the registrar had | hein man and wife. The pair met four years ago while the girl was spending a holiday at Bournemouth, and although on ac- count of théir youth the parents ob ected "to the attachment, all efforts to reak the friendship were unavailing. The youthful sweethearts showed their resentment of the interference by clop- ing three times. 'They were first dis- covered at Southampton by detectives and taken home. , A fortnight later they went away to gether a second time, but the police found them in London. When the third elopement took place, the parents decided' that opposition was futile. LORD KITCHENER pronounced t Will Resign Indian Command, in August. Londen, April 17--Lord Kitchener will resign his command in India at the end of August, according te a re- ont in Calcutta (says the Times). On leaving India, he will visit China and Japan, He desires to avoid spending the whole winter in England, and will, therefore, travel to Europe by easy (10 £100 to bring stages. He will probably witness the grand manocuvres of the . Japanese army. re Notice. For all kinds of printing, ruling, book-binding, embossing, ete., try the Whig office.

Blessing. Helsingfors, April 17.--Although the women members of the Finnish Dict only number twenty-five, those em- ployed in the ublic cervices exceed 75 per cent, of t e- total number of em- ployees, 'and in the railway offices, banks and other commercial and public institutions their number' is legion. Women doctors, jurists, clerks and teachers are common in other coun- tries, but here in Helsingfors women street-sweepers, milk carriers, paper- hangers and booking clerks are com- mon. There is nothing a Finnish wo- man caunot, will not and does not do. The progress of the country, the me- thodical, clean ways and the unfailing courtesy and despatch one meets with are evidence of it. These women are clever and diligent, too. The vast majority speak three languages, and about 50 per cent. have a sound knowledge of a fourth. They all speak Swedish and Finnish (and Finnish is as difficult as Russian). Most have as well Russian or German, and many have both, and English into the bargain. They are splendid workers, and have left their mark on the social legisla- tion of the country. They swim like fishes, can "ski" and skate and play hockey, or bandy, or tennis with the best. They work hard, during the week, and Sunday is often devoted to recreation, to preserve their fine health and red cheeks. ' : 'here are certainly drawbacks to this- dominion of the «petticoat. Sad to re- late, man is nothing, or, at best, only a very secondary object. Firstly, wo- men are far more numerous and in- finitely more intelligent and energetic. Dress is a lost art, and of home life there is none. The matsalar, or feed- ing house, where one must scramble for one's food at the common table, is the refuge of man, woman and child. There is not one passable modiste in _the country. Dress is only a decency and not a decoration. -------------- CURIOUS MISADVENTURE. and Cops Have War. Paris, April 17.--A burgular who broke into a chemist's shop near the Opera was the victim of a curious mis- adventure, which ended in his capture by the police, after a tug of war, in which an innocent rman took the place of the usual rope. The burgular;.on entering the chem- ist"s shop, found two bottles of wine, and, forgetting his mission, he sat down and thoroughly enjoyed their contents His unsteady and noisy movements atoused the caretaker, who came down stairs lightly clad. In the struggle that followed a large bottle of ammenia was upset, the contents falling upon the burglar, who, being almost suffocated, sank upon the floor. The caretaker, thinking the man was insefisible, ran to the front door of the shop, and was just in the act oO crawling through the broken panel by which the burglar had entered, when two policemen saw him emerging, and quite naturally took him for a burglar. "I'hereupon they seized him, and tried to haul him through the hole. The real burglar, however, having partially recovered his senses, rap to the door, and, taking the man by his feet, tried to pull him back into the house. A fierce tug of war followed, until the burglar, again overcome by the combined 'effects of the wine and the ammonia, dropped his end of the care- taker, and the police pulled him out. Explanations followed, and the burglar was arrested. » ------iiend? MARIE DRESSLER"S TROUBLES Burglar Tug-of- Actors Suing For Breach of Com- tract. -- When the case of Ferguson and Allen vs. Marie Dressler, the Canadian actress, was called on at Westminster, a so icitor, represent- ing defendant, said that Miss Marie Dressler had gone abroad for. the bene- fit of her health. She was on the con- tinent somewhere, but he did not. know her address. Judge' Woodfall said he could not adjourn the case when a person treated the court in such® an irresponsible way, and the case pro- ceeded. Plaintiffs were music hall artists, proprietors of a comedy quar- tette, and they were engaged by Miss Dressler to appear at the Aldwych theatre at a salary of £30 a week. They attended rehearsals, but there was a dispute with the.manager, who said that their services were no longer required, and refused to allow them to perform. They claimed damages for breach of contract, as (they had been unable to obtain any engagements for nine weeks. They reduced their claim it within the juris- dietion--of-the county. court. The cdse was not defended and judgment of London, April 17. given plaintiffs for £100, with costy, his honor intimating that an applicatiol for a new trial would be considered upon certain terms. ------------------ INVESTMENT OF CAPITAL. It is Flowing Abroad to Meet Many Needs. London, April 17.--There has been no diminution in the 'flow of British capital abroad during the guarter which is just-closing. Indeed, exactly the opposite has occurred, the amount of British capital invested abroad in- creasing, while that invested in home undertakings has decreased. The total capital issues Yorethe year so far, ac cording to "The Economist," have amounted to £64,000,000 or £19,000,000 more than in the corresponding period of last year. The geographical details of the investments for which this capi- tal was raised were as follows: 1909 1908 Home Undertak- £4,709,400 $12,224,000 takings 29,875,100 Foreign takings 20,633,900 11,089,500 Thus of the £64,00,000 raised this year £50,000,000 Was for investment outside of the United Kingdom. Only one-thirteenth of thé whole amount remained in this country to make work for our own countrymen. -------- Dandruff Banished.

Ceremony Novel to England Takes Place in Drawing Room of Private Mansion. - Longlon, April 12--A form of mar- riage ceremony that is novel to this country has been performed at South Croydon, where Miss Gertrude Carly- on Peters was married in her mother's drawing room, at Kenwyn, to Charles F. Cooper, according to the principles of ethical religion. The bridegroom, who has been as- sociated with the ethigal movement and was formerly secretdry of the Moral Instruction League, objected to being married in a church. The bride's mother considered the civil ceremony before the registrar very cold and soul- less, and so a compromisé was decid upon, the civil contract at the registry office in the morning being followed by the ethical marriage servige at the bride's own home on Saturday after- noon last. Kenwyn is a lar ¢ mansion, standing its own grounds, and the wedding guests numbered nearly a hundred. The overflow of guests found room in the conservatory adjoining the drawing room, where they could hear the ser- vice. " A solemn silence fell upon the gather- ing, and not even a whisper could be heard when, at 4 o'clock on Thursday the bride entered the drawing room and took her seat by the bridegroom's side on a brocade-covered settee in the centre of the room. Facing them was Dr. Stanton Colt, leader of the ethical movement in England, who conducted the marriage' service. The bride, who is a strikingly hand- some girl with dark eyes and rich brown hair, wore a beautiful wedding robe of shimmering Silk, veiled with billowy clouds of chiffon and brussels lace. She wore no veil, but had a spray of the orange blossoms of orthodoxy, and carried a bridal bouquet of white blossoms. The drawing room grand piano took the place of the organ, and the cere- mony opened with a solo, "The Morn- ing Hymn." The Shakespearean son- net, "Let us not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments," follow- ed as a recitative. Bride and bridegroom stood up to take their marriage vows. The bride- groom promised to shield, love, com- fort, honor, and keep the bride in sick- ness and health, and, forsaking all others, to keep only unto her, so long as they both shall live. The curious guests listened attentively to the bride's vows. There was no mention of obe- dience in it, but the bride promised to minister to the bridegroom and to love, honor and keép him in sickness and in health. in PERILS MENACE ROOSEVELT. More to Be Feared From Insidious Disease. London, April 117.--Armed to the teeth -as_he will be, Mr. Roosevelt will have much more to fear from climatic diseases than from prowling beasts of the jungle during his forthcoming ex- pedition after big game in central Af- rica. "Near Naitobi, where the ex-presi- dent first goes," the director of the London. School of Tropical Medicine, said, yesterday, "he runs the risk of contracting malaria, blackwater fever or African tick fever. "Fhe last named closely resembles relapsing or "famine' fever, such as has proved common in Ireland after the failure of the. potato crops. "When he strikes further mland Mr. Roosevelt also stands a chance of catching sleeping sickness. This is a disease the London School of Tropical Medicine has long made a special study of It is caused by a small parasite found wriggling about in the lymphatic glands, and later in the fluid surround- ing the spinal cord. "The parasite is probably carried from man to man by a biting fly, close- ly related to the tsetse fly, which kills off cattle and horses in South Africa. "This special tsetse fly breeds close to open water, especially where the banks are sloping and shaded by trees. Many drugs have a great influence in delaying or postponing. the serious re- sults of infection by this parasite. "In two cases at this hospital--Royal Albert and Victoria Docks--patients have for more than three years remain- ed free from any symptoms, but it will not be until five years have clapsed that we should be justified in saying the patients were cured, as it is 2 disease in which there may be long latent periods. "Malaria will common. enemy ; be Mr. Roosevelt's it is the most preva- lent disease. As for Beribéri, Tudo not think he is likely to catch that. They get it in the jails, but it is not a com- mon disease. "He will have to beware of poison- ous snakes, particularly the puff adder, spitting cobra and the horned viper. There are several species of the first two, and the bites of all very often prove fatal. Then there are the flies. "Of scorpions and centipedes he will also have to beware. "Altogether we have had some QOO students through the London School of Tropical Medicine, and 1 should think that nearly half of them have gone out to tropical Africa to engages in pre- venting, or attempting to prevent, - as well as treat these peculiar diseases to which Mr. 'Roosevelt runs 3 risk of becoming subject. "We get considerable help from the colonies, and a few private firms m- 'terested in tropical work. assist us, but so far as the city corporations and the city as a body are concerned they-have done comparatively ittle. We try to be self-supporting, but this, of course, is not possible." : -------------- _~ Campbell Bros'. $2 Derbies. Include all the new styles. ---------- Bibby's $2 hats are swell.

One of Most Fertile Causes of Dis- ease, London, April 17-~The damage' { done by rats in this country is 'greater than the damage done by the cobra and tiger ig India. This statement of Prof. Andetson was quoted on Thursday by Sir James Crichton Browne, speaking at the first annual meeting of the So- ciety for the Exterinination of Vermin, at Hanover Square. | Sir James said that boring com- munication from drains into dwellings. by gnawing through water-pi and gas-pipes, by gnawing at by cau ing loss of sleep and nervous trepida- tion, rats had been responsible for sick ness, debility and death to a large ex- tent. * The rat was one of the cleverest and slimmest of animals. Its brain was large in proportion to its body, its persistence and ingenuity in over= coming obstacles, such as engineering eggs up and down. stairs without hreak- ed [ing them, and living- upon billiard balls when there was nothing else to eat, would almost provoke admiration and pity for.its fate were it not that it was so despicable. That much might be done in the ex- termination of yats was shown by Den- mark. Under a law which came into force in 1907 the payment of a premium for every rat delivered to the local authority. In the first year 1,308,000 rats were and- ed in and the 'premiums pgid for them. It was officially estimated in France, he added, that the damage to crops by field mice was '£1,000,000 per annum. The calcylation that there was one rat to every acre-in England and Wales, and that cach rat did damage to the extent of one farthing every day, mak- ing a total loss per annum of £15,000,- ooo was if anything, is short of the mark. The rat had been the cause of huge and hideous plague mortality in India. The plague was at their own doors. It had mvided their. colonies and had even, been brought to shores by ships. DOINGS AT COURT. Spring Movements of the King and Queen. London, April 17.--It is understood that the court will be again in resi- dence, zt Windsor Castle, until Ascot' race week, as the King and Queen arc expected, this year to end Whitsun-, tide at Sandringham. Bieir majesties' summer residence at Windsor Castle (says Truth), will be from Saturday, June 12th, until Monday, 21st. The Queen is expected to pay a brief. visit to Copenhagen during the first week of May, in order that she may be, present at the marriage of Prince Harold of Denmark and Princess Helena of Sonderburg - Glucksburg which is to take: place there on May 6th. Among the guests expected at Copefihagen for the royal wedding are he German empress, the crown prince and crown® princess, the Prince and Princess Augustus of Prussia, the king ind queen of Norway, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Princé and Princess Charles of Sweden, Prince and Princess Max of Baden, Prince and Princess Frederick" of Schaumburg- Lippe, and Prince and Princess Fred- erick Charles of Hesse. HANDING OUT "GOLD BRICKS." Giving Introductions That Are Said to Be Valuable. London, April 17.--One of the latest forms of cohfidénce trick that is being practiced in this country consists in yffering personal introductions to co- 'onial governors and other high offi- Gals to civil service clerks, who are induced to believe that, through these, hey can easily obtain positions worth hree or four times the salary they. at present earn. Of course, in return for he letter of introduction, the gener- us stranger "who has parted with it expects, and, indeed, demands a "little sresent" of five or ten pounds. If the victim ever does get a reply to his ap- plication for a berth it is merely to the "fect that his request cannot be con- sidered, as the person who has given him a letter of introduction is not known, and, in any case, there are-wo vacancies. : Race Track Crooks. London, April 17.--Scotland Yard has lately received particulars of the rec- ords of a number of notorious Ameri- ~an racecourse sharps, who, owing to the restrictions which have been placed sn 'betting in their own country, have already arrived in England, or are bout to come here.
