Beckham, the youngest governor in the United States, will soon marry Miss Jean Fuqua, one of Kentucky's handsomest girls. The wedding will take place at Owensboro, Ky., the home of the bride. The evept will be of interest to every section of the south as the governor and his intended bride are known by everyone in tihat part of the country. The governor is now only 32 and Miss Fuqua. is 21. The young couple are the descendants of two of Kentucky's oldest and most prominent families. Gov. «Beckham's grandfather on his mother's side was a former chief executive of the Blue Grass state. Miss Fuqua's father is a wealthy tobacco merchant. Miss Fuqua is tall, has a dark complexion and is noted for her love of athlet­ ics. f - A been two 000.

For this reason the full price of the archipel­ ago in money may now be said to have been 120,100,000. The mistake of the commissioners has coot the extra amount, but the government has acted wisely In purchasing the stray islands and keeping tire archipelago Intact General Wesley Merrltt found the Paris exposition not up to his expecta­ tions.

Simmons, Democrat, will suc­ ceed Marion Butler, the Populist, in the senate from North Carolina. The legislature chosen Nov. 6 will practi­ cally have nothing to do but register the choice of the people. This is be­ cause at the state primaries held by the Democrats of North Carolina last April the voters "recommended" the selection of Mr. Simmons. In the same way the Democrats at the primaries in Arkansas last spring recorded their prefercacc for the re-election of Sena­ tor Berry over ex-Senator Jones. These methods of nominating a senator are not recognized by federal or state laws. Yet members are frequently nominated pledged in advance after a contest in the primaries. In Montana and in Pennsylvania the fitness of legislative candidates was entirely lost sight of in the struggle for the legislature. In these states rival candidates of the same party contended in many dis­ tricts, he division being on the sena- torHhip. In this indirect way Clark's election from Montana seems assured and Quay's from Pennsylvania is pos­ sible. These are facts which seem to show that there is much merit in the North Carolina plan. At all events it enables the legislature to get down to business at oruce without a prolonged struggle over the senatorShip, which sometimes, as in . Pennsylvania last year. A Veteran Labor jLeader. Frank P. Sargent has been re-elected chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo­ tive Firemen. He has already served *15 years and did not feel inclined to again undertake the duties of the office. Finally he . was guaranteed a Hailroad €tramp Jim-tance. The importance of the railroad | tramp nuisance is indicated by the fact: that it is made the subject of the leading article in the "Investors' sup­ plement" of the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, an issue of over 180 pages. The estimate of Josiah Flynn that 10,000 tramps steal rides nightly and 10,000 more are loitering around railroad yards Is quoted; to­ gether with his estimate that each of the 60,000 tramps in the country trav­ els on an average of fifty mils a day, which, for 100 days in the year, means 3,000,000. miles of free transportation annually, which at two cents a mile, would represent paying travel of $6,- 000,000. The free rides are, however, of slight importance compared with the extensive pilfering of freight and personal damage claims arising through accidents to -tramps while trespassing. The Commercial and Financial Chronicles advises railroads to adopt the plan of the Pennsylvania road, which emgloys a regular force of eighty-three men to keep the cars and yards clear of the undesirable, class. The success pf the plan is shown in that the company pays |17,000 a year less for its police arrangements than before it adopted it. The adoption of the plan by all important roads would not only be of benefit to them but to the country. It is well known that most tramps are what they are partly because of hatred of work and partly because they like to travel. The re­ moving of easy facilities for transpor­ tation would reduce the number enor­ mously. The deserving poor may get free transportation at any time.

S. JENNINGS, thought and utterance is not unlike his more noted cousin. Maharajah of fatiala. The Maharajah of Patia!la, noted as a polo player, a cricketer, a soldier and the chief Sikh prince of India, is dead. • He was very popular with the British because of his loyalty to the emplre^jand to the queen. Among the maoy rajahs of India the dead monarch ranked in the third class and was entitled to a salute of seventeen gun5. The two grades of princes above him are entitled to salutes of nineteen and twenty-one gains respectively. Patiala's last noteworthy act was his request to be allowed to go to South Africa and to evince his loyalty by personally fighting against the Boers. He visited London in 1897 to attend the jubilee the queen anh at the same time attracted much at­ tention by the splendor of his dress and the importance of his retinue. As illustrating the methods young men have of working their way through college, one of the Yale facul­ ty cites the scheme of a party of stu­ dents of that institution. Two of them made a trip to Europe last summer as hands on a cattle boat.

In a recent letter from 6900 Michi­ gan avenue, Chicago, HL, Mr. Moody •ays the following: "For over twenty-five years / suffered from catarrh, and for over tea'years I suffered from catarrh of the stomach terribly. •* / have taken all kinds of medi­ cines and have been treated by all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaintances are aware In different parts of the United States, where I have traveled, but the relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago / started to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty years. « The soreness has left my stom­ ach entirely and I sua free from Indigestion and dyspepsia and will say to all who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind, don't put it offand suffer, but begin to take Peruna right away» and keep It up until you are cured, as you surely wU! be If you persevere.*9 "My wife, as many in the southwest say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. Aha began taking Peruna with the re­ sult that she is better now than she Tia« been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness has left her lungs and she is as well aa she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly, T. P. Moody.
