IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL WEAR THIS SEASON ASK BEN SELLING Raleigh Falkner Was Engaged to Blanche Taylor's Sister. ARRESTED BY THE POLICE Seattle Father Finally Wires to Brit ish Columbia His Consent to the Marriage of Ills Sixlecn-Year-OId Daughter. SEATTLE, Aug. 26. (Spocial.) Raleigh Falknor, aged 21, last night eloped to "Vancouver, Bi C, and married Miss Blanche Taylor, aged 1G, a sister of the girl to whom Falkner had been engaged for some time. Miss Taylor, now Mrs. Falknor, was also engaged to marry an other, her fiance being a well-known young man of Los Angeles. Neither of the engagements was formally declared off. The marriage is the culmination of a brief but exciting romance in which the runaway couple was arrested and held by the police, to be afterward released when the father of Miss Taylor wired that he did not want the couple held any longer and to direct them to a Justice of the Peace, by whom the marriage cere mony could be performed. The facts came to light yesterday eve ning, when the mother of Blanche went to the lattor's room and found a note lying on the table saying that she thought she had gone to school long enough and to avoid being compelled to again take up her studies she had decided to marry hor sister's nance. "And we love each other, too, mother," said the innocent little schoolgirl. "Ral eigh will be good to me and I'm going to be his wife." Falknor's parents in Kentucky are wealthy.

Not more than a week ago much appre hension was felt because so few vessels had been chartered to move the immense quantities of wheat and flour that were sure to be gathered in the Inland Empire, and a few ships were chartered at the union rate for points in Europe. Then came the fall in the rates on the regular lines plying to the Orient from this point, and then the chartering of the big steam ers began. The steamers chartered fol low: Aglncourt, Imaum, which left Shang hai today for Portland; the Calvin Bank, the Coucdfion. the Oceano, tho Croydon, and last and largest of all probably, the Knight Errant, which, If it does come here, will take away the largest cargo in the history of shipping from this port. This Is not saying that the others are small, for they arc all large carriers. But the Knight Errant registers 3050 tons net, and can carry about 900) tons. AH of tho ships chartered for Japan at this time are able to carry between 10,000 and 45,000 tons, and if the Knight Errant is taken, will put it close to 50.0M tons. Laldlaw & Company engaged the Oceano and Croydon, and later chartered the Croydon to the Portland-Asiatic Steamship Company. It is not known who takes the Oceano, but probably the Portland Flouring Mills Company. IN NEW QUARTERS. Merchants' Exchange Is Gradually Approaching Washington Street.
