LONG HE ROMANCE Twenty Years Ago Their Court ship Commenced. SHE RAD NEVER MARRIED When be Found Out That Fact he Made Preparations for a Long Trip Back Home Married His Sweet heart and She's Going to China. NEW YORK, April 3.-Romance permeates the atmosphere in the neighborhood in Brooklyn where Mrs. D. D. Maloney, a bride of a few months, is making preparations to sail on Monday for Hongkong, China, where she will join her hus band. Until a week ago Mrs.Ma-j loney's friends and relative dd not j even suspect that she had embarked n the sea of matrimony. Twenty years ago Mrs Maloney then Miss Katherine F. Murphy, a girl of 18 made the acquaintance of Daniel F. Maloney who was two years her senior. After a brief but ardent wooing Maloney left his fin ance to seek his fortune in the Far West. From that date until a few months ago the girl to whom he had pledged his troth had no know ledge of her sweetheart's fate. In the meantime Maloney had wandered from point to point in vain search for wealth. He shipped from San Francisco to Hong Kong where he a place with a mercantile house. Year by year his fortune increased, ntil he found himself at the head of the firm whose employ he had entered a penniless youth. Last summer homesickness seized him and he wrote a letter to a friend in Brooklyn inquiring whether the girl f his choice had married. The re ply made him forget both worries and begin preparations for a long trip back home. Last October a bronzed stranger, with hair tinged with gray appeared in Brooklyn and inquired for Miss Murphy. A few nights later the couple visited a priest and were mar ried.

FIFTY DOLLAR HATS. Jury Decides That They Cannot be Classed as Necessary Household Ex penses. CHICAGO, April 3 Twelve jur ors, including three bajbhelors last night decided in Judge Newcomer's court that $50 hats are excluded from the "necessary household expenses" for which a husband in moderate circumstances legally , may be held liable when incurred by his wife with out his approval. Consequently the jurors rendered two verdicts in the case of the Mai son Nouvelle vs Mr. and Mrs L. W. Ferguson, the case in question being a dispute as to whether the Maison Xouvelle should receive a balance of $165 alleged to be due on a millinery bill. The jurors decreed in one verdict that Mrs Ferguson must pay the $165, the finding being in favor of the plaintiff. In the other verdict the jurors re lieved Mrs Ferguson's husband from all responsibility, the finding being in favor of Mr. Ferguson as one of the defendants. The Maison Nou velle was left to "hold the bag" for the $165, unless it overturns the ver dict IMPORTS FALLING OFF. NEW YORK, April 3.-Heavy falling off in importation of luxuries during the month of March is re ported by Appraiser George W.Wan amaker of the port of New York. The total value of automobiles im ported during the month was $127, 946, a scant third of automobile im portations during March of last year. The most remarkable falling off, however, is that of precious stones and jewelry. The total value for March was $89,514 about $3,000,000 below the value of diamonds and pearls imported in March, 1907. The appraisers figures show little variation in the importations of staples. Indeed, the sugar importa tions were 50 per cent heavier than in March of last year, while the value of imports of groceries, wines, to bacco, etc. reaches a total of about $14,000,000 as against approximately $15,000,000 in March 1907. an Oil Stove' When warm days and the kitchen fire make cooking a bur den then is the time to try a New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove.

C, April 3. Friends of candidates for the Re- the representations made by the Taft managers that everything is going Taft's way. They allege that every time a delegate is elected, the Taft people promptly claim cither that he has been instructed to vote for Taft or that he will so vote when the op portunity is afforded. The effect of such claims widely heralded through out the country, upon conventions as they are held is very evident. Every one likes to be on the winning side and when conventions are led to be lieve that one particular candidate is sweeping everything before him, the chances that he will be endorsed are largely increased. Yet the allied candidates for justly or otherwise they arc regarded as being allied have only themselves to blame for this condition. The Taft people are the only ones who are making any noise or who are giving out any news Consequently their stuff and their candidate is getting the best show in the press. It may not always be reliable and it is undoubtedly tinted, but it is generally used and whether reliable or not it is about all the in- fomation obtainable here as to the progress of the various candidates throughout the country. It has been reported several times that the allied nterests will establish a press bureau here to counteract the activities of the Taft bureau, but up to this writ- ng the same is not in evidence. UNWISE SPECULATION. CHICAGO. April 3.-Samuel F.. Gross, for many years a spectacular figure in real estate booms in and near Chicago, has lost his million in "unwise speculation" according to a telegram received from Rattle Creek, Mich., last night .

Ros- rad'was conducted here in the U. 5. Court and Judge Kohlsaat decided n Mr. Gross favor. WIND SAVED HIS LIFE. NEW YORK, April 3.-What may have been an ill wind blew good to August Meier, of Brooklyn, yester day. At any rate it saved his life. That continued existence was not what he courted was shown, however, when Jos. McTlrath, an old friend found him lying on the floor of his picture framing shop inhaling gas from a tube attached to a pipe in the wall. McTlrath happened to be pas sing Meier's place just as an extra hard puff of the prevailing gale smashed a glass sign outside the door lie entered the shop to tell the pro prietor of the accident and found him in the act of attempting to take his own life. With the aid of a policeman Mc Ilrath carried Meier out into the air where he recovered. Meier, who is 77 years old, did not seem pleased over the prank of the wind and his old friend's presence there at that particular moment. He said he was tired of life and wanted to die. At the hospital to which he was taken, it was said that he would probably recover. SON OF PRINCE ILL, Tokio, April 3. The son of Prince Arisugava is critically ill.

' DIRECTS HOW TO PREPARE IT HOME MADE KIDNEY REM EDY RELIEVES KIDNEY TROUBLE, BACKACHE AND CURES ALL BLADDER WEAK NESS. The great majority of men and women at the age of 50 years begin to feel the first signs of advancing age in some form of kidney trouble and bladder weakness. Few are en tirely free from that torturous dis ease, rheumatism, which is not a dis ease in itself, but a symptom of de ranged function of the kidneys which have become clogged and sluggish, failing in their duty of sifting and straining the poisonous waste matter uric acid, etc., from the blood, per mitting it to remain and decompose, settling about the joints and musces, causing intense pain and suffering. The bladder, however, causes the old folks the most annoyance, espec ially at night and early morning. A noted authority in a recent ar ticle stated that he has wonderful success with the old time "vegetable treatment." He states: "Of sixteen cases of bladder troubles and rheu matism which have been treated with this treatment only one very complicated case failed to fully yield to its remarkable influence. It is the most harmless treatment I have ever found to clean the system of rheuma tic poisons; remove irritation of the bladder and relieve urinary difficul ties of the old people. It is a true vitalizing tonic to the entire kidney and urinary structure, retnvigorating the entire system." What he terms "old vegetable treatment" consists of the following simple prescription, the ingredients which can be obtained from any good pharmacy at small cost: Compound Kargon, one ounce; . Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and upon going to bed, also drink plenty of water. This prescription, though simple, is always effective in the diseases and afflictions of the kidneys and bladder. MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.
