uncle of the bride, officiated, assisted
by Dr. Gordon Russell of Cranford.
N. J.
After the ceremony the bridal party
was entertained at the home of the
bride's uncle, Charles B. Alexander.
At least a part of the honeymoon will
be spent at Sagamore Hill, the coun
try home of the Roosevelt family at
Oyster Bay. Long Island. Later in the
summer the young couple will start
for San Francisco, where Mr. Roose
velt Is to be in charge of the inter
ests of the carpet manufacturing firm
with which he has been associated for
some time.
The love story of the young couple
has been a quick-moving romance.
Their engagement was announced only
last winter, and the news was cabled j
to Colonel Roosevelt, resulting In the
speedy receipt of his approval and
congratulations. The bride, who Is
the daughter of Henry Addison
Alexander of New York, is twenty-
Need of a Uniform Code
Too Many Different Systems of Storm
Signals in Use at the Present
Time.
Upward of twenty different systems
of storm signals are at present used
by the maritime countries of the
world. A uniform International code
is a desideratum, and the task of de
vising one was entrusted by the inter
national meteorological committee to
a small commission, which met In
London last summer and agreed to rec
ommend to the committee the adop
tion of a code proposed by Professor
Moore, chief of the United States
weather bureau. This code substi
tutes a few simple combinations of
the large conical symbols now used at
a majority of the European ports for
the storm flags heretofore used in the
United States and some other coun
tries. Combinations of red and white
lanterns are to be used at night to con
vey the same information as the day
signals. The proposed code has not
yet, however, been formally adopted

than medium height, slender, and
of 'Jrj attractive appearance, hav
ing an especially beautiful com
plexion. She is as animated as her
famous sister-in-law. Mrs. Alice Roose
velt Longworth. whose bouse guest
she was for a time just before Mrs.
Longworth sailed for England to Join
her father.
Theodore Roosevelt. Jr.. strongly re
sembles his father In looks, but is de
cidedly reserved and is generally cred
ited with being far less democratic
than certain other members of the
family. As a boy be rode horseback
and engaged in all the other outdoor
pursuits of the juvenile Roosevelt clan
at their home at Oyster Bay and be
took some part in athletics during
his preparatory school course at Gro
ton and his collegiate course at Har
vard, but In the main he has been less
enthusiastic on the subject of life in
the open than his father and brother
Kermit. He has always been 01 a
studious nature and bis romance with
Miss Alexander Is said to have had
its beginnings In the mutual love of
these young people for music. For all
that "Teddy. Jr.," has eschewed the
sensational in outdoor athletics, be did
participate two years ago In a bal-
loon flight from Washington. In which
he and the two army officers who
were bis fellow passengers had some
rather exciting experiences.
There was no little surprise on the
part of the public when Theodore. Jr..
upon the completion of his college
course two years ago. chose a busi
ness career as his life work, and still
more wonder was aroused when be
took employment in a Connecticut car
pet factory In order to gather knowl
edge at first hand of the practical side
of carpet manufacture. He started at
the lowest round of the ladder, as an
unskilled workman at a small salary.
Of course be was promoted as he mas
tered the Intricacies of the business,
but be continued to live quietly In a
1 modest boarding house. Many persons
were skeptical as to whether young
Roosevelt would stick to so prosaic an
existence, but be is evidently deter
mined to win his fortune In this
sphere.
Raven's Sharp Trick.
The best talking-bird new to the
big collection In the London "Zoo" is
a raven who came to the aviary last
year. "Hullo! Jack!" Is his favorite
remark, and it Is the voice of one
who meets an unworthy friend. Soon
after he arrived he used his conver
sational powers with great effect upon
a lammergeler who shares bis cage
(relates the London Spectator). The
lammergeler had a piece of meat
which the raven desir-pri hut ho n-w
unwilling to surrender IL The raven
bopped up. "Hullo! Jack!" he began,
and the lammergeler. aghast at the
voice of man. .dropped his dinner and
fled. But the lammergeler was never
a bird of much spirit.
by any government pending the deci
sion of the international meteorolog
ical committee, which meets In Ber
lin next September. Since the Lon
don meeting objection? have been
raised by the German authorities to
the proposed night signals on the
ground that they are not sufficiently
distinctive and might be confused with
other harbor lights. The Deutsche See
warte at Hamburg is now experiment
ing with several systems of night sig
nals and will lay the results of its In
vestigations before the committee.

A Real Pioneer.
Former Representative Raper of
Pawnee county celebrated in Lincoln
the fifty-second anniversary of his ar
rival In Nebraska. "It was just fifty
two years ago this morning," said Mr.
Raper. "that I crossed the river at
Brownville Into Nebraska. I went im
mediately to Pawnee City and have
lived there ever since. At that time
there was less people In Nebraska
than there is now in Lincoln, but we
were all acquainted those days. Neigh
bors sometimes were fifty miles apart
and very far between.
LAW IS HELD GOOD.
The Employers' Liability Enactment
Upheld.
The supreme court has upheld the
validity of the employers' liability
act passed by the legislature of 1907.
In the case of Frank Swoboda against
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
wherein a judgment was given in Ta
vor of Swoboda, the railroad alleged
that the plaintiff at the tiime of his
injury was not engaged in construc
tion or repair work within the mean
ing of the employers' liability act.
The court holds that the evidence Is
sufficient as it shows that the plain
tiff was engaged in construction or
repair at the time he was Injured
by a steam hammer, which he was
helping operate in the Union Pacitic
blacksmith shop at Omaha. Swo
boda and another employe were oper
ating a steam hammer weighing
about 500 pounds in flattening iron
washers which were being made for
general use by the railroad company
in repair of engines and cars.
The employers" liability act pro
vides that every railroad company
operating a railroad eugine. car or
tmfti In tho ctfiln nt Vlrnlfn clmlT )
be liable to any of its employes who
at the time of injury are engaged in
construction or repair work or in the
use or operation of an engine, car or
train for said company for all dam
ages which may result from the
negligence of any of Its officers,
agents or employes. The court says
this is a valid law and not rcpugnaut
to the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution.
Waiting for Decision.
Just as soon as the courts decide
the case wherein the 2-cent fare law
the freight rate law and other rail
road rate questions are involved, the
railway commission will be in posi
tion to issue a schedule of class rates
that may be charged in Nebraska.
One of the principal points involved
in the litigation now pending, is a
division of the earnings and expenses
of railroads between state and inter
state business. The attorney general
has maintained that the arbitrary ap
portionment made by the railroads
is not just to the state. If he is up
held then the commission will be in
a position to know just what the
rates should be in this state as it
will be possible then to figure just
what the expenses of the roads are
as well as the state earnings.
