GOKFERENGEMEASUREPASSED Provides for Free Passage of Amer ican Coastwise Vessels and Ma terial Free to the Zone. Washington.—The Panama canal bill as agreed upon by conferees of the senate and house was passed by the house Saturday, by a vice voce vote. As was expected, the bill, which provides for the government and administration of the canal contains provisions for the passage of American coastwise vessels through the canal free of tolis and the admittance of ship building ma terial to the canal lone free of duty. The bill already has passed the sen ate and it now goes to the presi dent for his signature. A special rule prohibiting points of order against the measure prevented Representatives Moore and Olm stead of Pennsylvania, republicans, from renewing their attack on the provision for the free admission of ship materials. As a result there was little opposition. Mr. Moore was taken severely to task hv Representative Alexander, chairman of the merchant marine committee, for his allegations that the free admission clause- would in jure American ship yards and work a hardship on American labor. Mr. Alexander held that with free material, shipping would be greatly benefited and that such a provision would in no sense affect the labor situation in American yards. He de fended that admission of foreign built ships to American registry on the ground that American shipyards were not building vessels for the foreign trade. The exclusion of railroad or trust owned ships from using the canal, in the opinion of Representative Sims of Tennessee, was worth ail the la bor and time taken to mold the bill. He felt, he said, that a long step for ward had been taken in the solution of the trust problem. DARROW IS ACQUITTED. But He Must Now Stand Trial on Another Charge. Los Angeles. Cal.—Clarence S.

Constantinople. Turkey.—Cupid has little chance in Armenia, where young w-omen are closely secluded and kept away from all social intercourse with young men. From the time of her birth the life of the Armenian girl is regulated by her parents, even to the arrangements for her marriage and the choosing of a husband for her. and so closely is she watched that love affairs before marriage are unknown, and. indeed, as she is never allowed to see a man outside of her own fam ily. there is little chance for Cnpid to play any tricks on susceptible hearts. As soon as a girl is born to them Armenian parents begin to lay aside money and fine linens for her mar riage portion. When she is considered to have reached the marriageable age In Bridal Attire. her mother sends a message to the guardians or parents of some young man who she thinks would be a suit- j able husband for her daughter, de scribing the girl's beauty, admirable j qualities and particularly the amount of her dowry. The marriage follows shortly, tak ing place at the home of the bride's parents, and the ceremony is as im- ; posing as the ritual of the Greek church can make it. The bride, rich ly garbed in white silks and billows of lace, has quantities of jingling coins dangling from her braids, and both she and the bridegroom wear wreaths of artificial flowers. While the marriage rites are being solem nized the couple must stand or kneel before the priest for several hours with their foreheads pressed together. Meanwhile, drums, bells and other noisy instruments do all they can to detract from the solemnity of the occasion. When the ceremony is concluded, the female relatives of the bride rush to kiss the bridegroom, while they put into his pockets lumps of sugar and fasten ribbcns upon his breast The bride receives no attention what I ever. — RURAL COP LIVES IN CLOVER Getting the Market's Best.

There is plenty of food for cynical thoughts in the national capital, as Is shown by the following incident which happened on a Washington street car: A worldly young man, prone to crit icise. was gazing at the advertise ments which decorate the interior of the car. One advertised a new kind of collar for men. The dome of the c&pitol was represented encircled by one of the collars, and on the sen ate and house wings of the build ing were placards giving prices and sizes. The placard on the senate end of the capitol read. "Quarter size,” and that on the other end said, "Two for a quarter.” The worldly cynical young man turned to bis companion.
