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. It was Maloney's desire that

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.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY,

WASHINGTON, D. 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 . Mr. Gross, who
for th last 'seven months has been an
inmate of a sanitarium in Battle
Creek, yesterday filed bankrupacy
proceedings in' Detroit.
According to W. F. Jacobs, one of
Mr. Gross' attorney the liabilities re
present about $500,000 and the assets
about $100,0(X) mostly in Chicago
real estate. Mr. Gross wrote a play
called "The Merchant Prince of
Cornville", which became known to
public principally from the fact that
e subsequently accused Edmund
Rostrand of appropriating for the
basis of "Cyrano de Bergerac" Mr.
Gross copyright case against M. 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.

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.
