Sw MAJOR. GENERAL YOUNG TO SUCCEED GEN. MILES The Marriage a la Mode How Loving Couples Arc Quickly Made Happy in Pittsburg Nine Minutes All the Time Required for Ceremony PROMINENT FILIPINO TO TELL NEED OF ISLANDS AdWVNAMA . SMmA Major aonornl Snniucl Baldwin Marks Young, U. S. A., who, accord ing to Adjutant General Coibin, U to bucreed Gen. Nelson A. Miles In com mand of the nrmy of the Unltod States, entered the service ns a pri vate in 1SG1, was mustered out at the close of the civil war ns a brigadier commander by brevet, and reentered ' tho regular army iih first lieutenant. Gen. Young went to the front In Cuba with Shaftcr'H army in 189S as The Four "Bonanza Kings." Tho wealth of "Tho Four Bonanza Kings" has been much exaggerated. Basing their belief on such movements In tho stock market as that of 1871 und the ?10 dividends they once received monthly, men have asserted that one or the other of the four was worth $150,000,000. Hut unless Markay ac cumulated groat wealth after he left the Comstock mine and tho San Fran cisco stock market, and alter his dis astrous deal In wheat, not one of them wns ever In possession of $25,000,000. Hut they enrae up to some such figure as that from nothing and kept to tho end a large part of what they made. And with It all neither California nor Nevada can point to one great in stitution of art or education or char ity and say: "That Is an enduring monument to the 'Hlg Four.' " Speak Ancient Language. Thero are less than HUO.OOO people In tho United Kingdom who speak r.o nnguago but Cymric or Gaelic. "MAD MULLAH" HAS HAD ADVENTUROUS CAR.EER. Tho lender of tho religious fanatics 'n Somallland, against whom Great Britain Is about to begin a genuine war, is the eon of a Somali shepherd fnd la about thlrty-flvo years old. His operations began early In 1899, when ho led a raid against a neighbor ing trlbo on tho pretext that Its mom hers had stolen Aunelj from his peo Plo. Ho was man an ordinary mul lah, or priest, but after a numbor of successful raids ho proclaimed himself the successor of tho inahdl, assumed n antagonistic attitude toward tho Hrltlsh protectorato government, and jnmouneod that ho Intonded to rule lio Interior, leaving tho coast to tho Europeans. Great Britain, with tho brigadier general of volunteers. From .Inly, IS'jn. to 1001. he served In tho Philippines, his tinal active scrvlco being as mllltr-ry governor of north western Luzon. Ho wns born Jnn. 0, 1S10. (Jen. Young has just returned from Europe, where with Gens. Corbln and Wood he attended the German military mnneiivcis and wns received bj King 1-Mwnid. I.Ike Gen. .Miles, ho has risen from the ranks. Decries North Pole Search. Sir Clements Murkham, president ot tho Royal Geographical hooloty, ot Great Hrltaln, has denounced racing for the north pole as "tomfoolery." "It would bo all very well," he Is reported to have tnld, ''to try to got nearer what wo call the north polo If deep sea soundings could be carried out on the way, but that is well-nigh Impos sible." lie also made the Interesting statement that wo now know practic ally all that there Is to bo known about the polo from tho geographical point of view anil that the majority of scien tists are convinced that It is all ocean beyond the point nlready reached. Educational Books In Demand. Hooks of an educational character are borrowed by 54. ti per cent of the readers using tho West Hum (Eng land) public libraries. Good Shoe Dressing. Orange Juice is one of tho best dressings for black shoes or boots, Boer war on Its hands, was unablo to furnish sufficient protection to tho friendly or neutral natives, with tho rosult that thousands of them Joined tho mad mullah, being given tho cholco of doing so or being raided. In March, 1900, ho attacked an Abys sinian oxpedltlon of 1,500 men sent against him, and although bo lost 2,500 men and retreated, tho ferocity ot his attack Inspired Menellk'a troops with such a dread of him that no attempt was mndo to pursuo him. Three years ago ho had 3,000 follow ers, with only sixty rifles; now ho has 40,000 men, a good percentage of them nrmod with rifles secured in raids on caravans. If you are In n hurry to get married this schedule ought to prove helpful. There are always plenty of bints on how to live on ?2 n week; how to catch a husband, how to procure it we; how to make beef stew nnd clean Ivory-handled knives, In the newspapers, but, sad to state, them has been no one to get up nn official schedule or guide for tho tise ot young people who want to get man led. Most men think It takes all day to tie tho knot. It might take alt da or nil year to untie It, but It lakes just nine minutes, by the w.itch, to tie it. You might be standing on tho cor ner of Fit th avenue and Sinlthlleld street at say 10 o'clock In the morn ing, heart whole and fancy free, and you might leturn to tho same corner In exactly nine, minutes with nil tho cares and responsibilities on your shouldurs as a mnirled man, Of course you must needs have provided yourself with tho girl, but If what men say Is anything to Judge by, you enn get tho girl In less time than It takes to go from tho corner nnd get mar ried. Bo that us It may, for the fol low who wants the whole thing over In n very short space of time thero Is plenty of opportunity. The hurry of Americans Is provor blal. They are always up and doing nnd never waste more time than Is absolutely necessaiy on any one er rand. Thus you see with tho aid of this schedule' tho busy man of Pitts burg makes an appointment with his futuro wife. They whisk off to tho marriage license window, thenco to the apartment of the fellow who ties the knot, and in nine minutes he will be scon shaklne hands with her nnd on his way to his oHlce, whllo sho boaids a trolley car and makes a call on her now mother to acqunlnt her Starting, with tho facts of the case. Thoro Is no iiseloss waiting all day for a mar riage In tho evening and no crowding out of a bed on a cold morning, nt an unheard-of hour to participate in a morning wedding. You chooso a sen sible hour and like a scnslblo man after consuming nlr.o minutes you re turn to your olllcc a married man, at tend to your dny's duties, and then In tho evening you hunt up Polly nt her new mother's, or her own mother's, nnd you are now In a position to pay a hoard bill for two Instead of one, as a result of nlnc-mlnutes lost from the ofllco thnt morning. After you have mndc several kinds of a fool of yourself at tho marrlago license ofllco by tripping over your age, nationality and so on you movo on to Mr. Brown in the prothonotnry's ofllco, who was at ono tlmo a preach er. If thero is anything that Mr. Brown does lovo It Is weddings. Ho Is so fond of then that he is always nrmed. In his pockot ho always car ries tho little book so lndlspensablo to functions of this kind. Through somo wireless telegraphy tho same Mr. Brown hears murmurlngs of your npplylng for a license. Ho stands up, brushes down several Imaginary flecks of dust from his well-fitting coat and grasps tho little book tighter than ovor. He has tho assistance of tho urbane usher who is posted at tho door to guide the trembling foot steps of strangers. Poets have said that all the world loves a lover, but tho poets aro wrong. They should have said that all tho world ridicules A Man Feels Like Ten Cents and a Plugged Nickel, a lover. A man feels, In tho vernac ular of tho street, "llko 10 conts nnd a plugged nlcklo." His hands seem to havo grown so that ho doubts whether at any tlmo, elthor now or In yenrs to corao, ho will over bo ablo to get gloves to fit thom. Why In tho world has ho novor noticed in all theso years that his hands aro In the rond? How has ho over managed to earn a livelihood? WM In shuffling around trying to mnko known his wants his feet assume tlm proportions of an elephnnt's tootsies. That settles It. They are car.nl bents puto nnd simple. Ho Is posltlvn that a man with feet like thnt hasn't any right to live, and at this ho gets a look nt his faro in yonder mirror. Bed Isn't tho color that describes It. It is n clear purplish pink, and his eyes are protruding. Oh, yes, ho Is sick. He Is satisfied with thnt. Why, ho hasn't looked that way since ho bad scarlet fever! Yes, ho Is sick unto death. No well m -4 life ) Taking a Drink after Going Through the Ordeal, mnn ever looked llko that. And tho sad part Is that his pojr little wlfo will be left alone In the vorld to pad dle her own canoe. Hns nnyono over heard of such a pathetic tale. An other look and no sees bis features working. Why, lie Is actually In con vulsions nnd then the plpo goes out und ho wakes up. Ho has been talk ing to himself. Of course, If ho is marrying a widow he Isn't hnlf bo stupid, for former experiences hnvo taught her to keep her oyo on tho groom nnd with her help he puts in his "I wills" to the satisfaction of Mr. Brown. Hero Is a story you'll hear In enso you happen to havo llvo minutes to spnro when you go to get married. John Smith came In to hnvo tho knot tied, find being told that tho chargo was - ho almost droppod nnd ex claimed: "I've never pnld over $1.50!" There are no frills on theso mnr rlnges whllo you wait. Your ducky cannnot wear a liberty satin frilled up with chiffon, neither enn sho float n long white train nnd a tullo veil that hides hor blushes. Instead If, as you are, sho is hurrying through to get back to work, sho will probably wear n blue nnd whlto calico wrapper with slippers down nt tho heel and her hair up in curl pnpers. She has been too He Grabs the Little Book Tighter Than Ever, industrious In putting tho houso to rights before sho mot you, and Inas much ns nho oxpects to go back to her work, Just as you hnvo gone back to yours, sho thinks it n wnstc or valua ble time to go to tho trouble, of taking down hor "bangs" and changing her wrapper. A good, sensible, mntter-offact wedding It Is. You want no flummery. There nro no decorations in tho apart mont whoro tho marrlago ceremony Is performed with great eclat, unless it be a lacy cobweb in n corner and tho wedding music Is supplied by tho musical click of nil tho makes of typewriters under tho skillful fingers of vnrlous employes and muklng vari ous sorts of noises. It may bo that you will spare a min ute to take a drink of malted milk or other refreshing beverngo after going through tho ordeal. You havo gono and got married in nlno minutes, and If that Isn't a herculean tank then no taan over deserved a drink. Pitts burg Dispatch. Famous Boer Scout Here. Capt. P. J.
