New York, June 15. "Once for all, and in Bpite of all reports to contrary," said Actress Edna Goodrich, "you can say that I am to be married to J. Harry MacMillan. No definite date has been set because Mr. Mac.Millan's mother is very ill and he is to remain with her at the family home in Berkeley, Cal., while I go to Europe to buy a new play." Miss Goodrich, looking even more beautiful than in the days when she sang "Tell Me, Pretty Maiden," in "Florodora," arrived from Chicago with her mother, who is known on the istage as "Nellie King." "I'm going abroad in a few days," she said, "not to buy a trousseau, but. to buy a play. I think I know just where I can find the right one. Certainly I will remain on the stage after my marriage. Mr. MacMillan does not object in the least. No, I'm not going to star. I have no right to do so yet, but I will play the leading role. "Meet Nat Goodwin abroad." repeated Miss Goodrich, when the question was asked. "Is Mr. Goodwin in Europe V" and she looked a most charming picture of surprise at the question. "Why should I see Mr. Goodwin? Because of those dreadful stories that he chased me all around Europe when I was there last? Absurd. If he was following me I did not know It. "No, I am not going to rejoin Mr. Goodwin's company. No danger of it. There's nothing between us. My contract with him has expired and I'm free to follow my own career."

POWER OF MIND. Always a Valuable Asset In Presence of Danger. Tresenee of mind is always an aset. It is especiully valuable in presence of danger such as springs from the presence of men intent upon murder. This was never better exemplified than when a gang of men set out to take the life of Mazzinl. He got to hear of their project. All the precautions ho took was to get ready n store of very excellent cigars. The ruffians presently appeared at his address. "Come In, gentlemen," he said and produced his cigars. To each man he handed one. Taken aback at their reception, they seemed abashed and confused. "I know that you came to kill me," he said. "Why do you not proceed to your task?" This was too much for even this bloodthirsty deputation. They could not kill tl.a man whose cigars they were smoking and who invited them to carry out their task. Muttering some excuse for having Interrupted his studies, they shuffled out of the room and troubled him no more. Each man has his own method with would be assassins. With Napoleon It was the eye which counted. While he was visiting the Duke of Saxe-Co-burg-Gotha one of the duke's retainers made up his mind to slay cim. He had so frequently heard the great man denounced as the curse of Europe that he felt Impelled to seize the chance to destroy him. He was a common soldier at the time and had to do sentry duty In one of the corridors of the palace along which Napoleon passed, He put his finger to the trigger as the duke, accompanied by Napoleon, drew In sight. He aimed for Napoleon's heart Napoleon saw him. He said nothing, but simply fixed his eagle eye upon the youth. The latter seemed spellbound. He let the musket fall with a crash to the floor of the stone corridor. He felt, he said, as if he must have swooned. Napoleon took do further notice, said do word, passed upon his way as if nothing had happened. That one flashing glance had eared bis life. lie knew its effect nd value. St. James' Gazette. LANGUAGE EVOLUTION. I'se of the SofBx "Less" In Verba, Koidi aud Adjectives. Many will remember that some years go there went on a violent controversy about the word tireless. The discovery had been made that "less" was a suffix which could properly be appended only to nouns; hence the form must be discarded, and we must all take pnius to say untiring. The duty of so doing was preached from 6cores of professional and newspaper pulpits. No one seemed to think or care for the various other adjectives similarly formed and therefore liable to the similar censure which they never received. Hostility was directed against it alone. The actual flaw which vitiated the arguments against tireless its censors never knew or took into consideration. This was that the fancied rule covering the creation of such words had practically long ceased to be operative whenever a new formation struck the sense of the users of language as being desirable. Unquestionably in our earliest speech the suffix "less" when employed to form adjectives was joined only with nouns. Bnt the general 6loughing off of nominal and verbal endings which went on in later centuries reduced a great proportion of substantives and verbs In the speech to precisely the same form. In consequence the sense of any fundamental distinction between the two broke down In many ways in one way in particular. There Is nothing easier in our speech than to convert a verb into a noun or a noun into a verb. It is a process which has taken place constantly in the past and Is liable to take place at any time in the future, either at the will or the whim of the writer or speaker.

ABE VERYPTIMISTIC Officials Think Great Good Will Come of Naval Test Saturday. TAFT MAKES STATEMENT. Washington, June 15. That the test made on the monitor Florida in Hampton Roads with a Whitehead torpedo was satisfactory and will repay the Government a hundredfold was the opinion expressed last night by Secretaries Metcalf and Taft, who witnessed the tost. The secretary of the navy, accompanied by Mr. Taft and Postmaster General Meyer, together with a number of army and navy officers, arrived from Norfolk Sunday aboard the Mayflower. "The charge of gun cotton was greater in the torpedo used than in the ordinary whitehead," said Mr. Metcalf, "and yet the damage done was confined to the bulkhead selected for the experiments. The vital parts of the vessel and the armor plate elsewhere were not affected. The naval constructor previously had estimated the cost of the experiment at approximately $10,000, and I do not think it will exceed that amount; but the information obtained as a result of the test will repay the Government a hundredfold. While we always have had the best construction in our ships and have had numerous tests with armor plate, we have lacked the knowledge that comes from experience gained under conditions of actual warfare." In speaking of his impressions of the test Secretary Taft said: "It was the general belief that the torpedo would sink a battleship, but yesterday's tests show that such is not the case. The torpedo penetrated the half-inch outer shell and, the door of a second compartment. Of course, a mine would have a more serious effect." STRENUOUS LIFE FOR T. H. KUHN Local Minister-Politician Busy Man. Candidate for Congress from the sixth district, preaching regularly each Sunday, and in addition, making addresses before fifty-flye graduating classes in all parts of the state, aiv some of the duties that are leading to what Roosevelt would call the strenuous life, for the Rev. T. H. Kuhn. The last of the commencement addresses will be given the middle of July afier which time Mr. Kuhn will start his active campaigning. RETURN HOME. J. K. Manford and J. W. Hoey, who have been at Columbus to attend the meeting of the Grand International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have returned home. WATER CURE LATEST FOR LOAFING HABIT. The water cure for loafing is the latest effort of some undoubted benefactor to rid the front entrance of the Westcott Hotel of the ever present gang that hold-.; forth there during all the waking and mcst of the sleeping hours of Richmond. Sunday evening, when the gumchewing picnic was at its height, a well directed sack of water common water was dropped from one of the upper windows of the hotel into the midst of the bunch, with telling effect. Those used to water "chasers" did not mind in the least; others hurried home to change their clothes. Vive la "water bag.

A Famous Park Tbat Is the Fride ef Mexico City. Nearly every city thinks its own parks the most beautiful on the face of the earth. This pride it Is that has given to Europe and America their magnificent recreation and pleasure grounds. The German points with pride at the Thlergarten in Berlin and cries. '"Match it if you can!" Whereupon the Parisian and the Lon3oner act the showman, with a wealth of gestures, proclaiming their own achievements. The New Yorker has his Central park shrine, with which Belle Isle, at Detroit; Fairmount park, at Philadelphia; Shaw's gardens, at St. Louis; Lincoln park, at Chicago, and a hundred others are constantly being compared. With snch a host of competitors for world honors it would be a bold person who would claim for Mexico City's Alameda the first place. It can at least be said of the rark, however, that It stands at the bead in a land of rlotons flowers and tropical growths. We Americans who have heard a hundred times of the Alamo, at San Antonio, Tex., may associate that name with the Alameda, for alamo is the Spanish word for poplar, the tree that was first planted extensively in the Alameda. Just twenty-eight years before the landing at Plymouth rock the viceroy of Mexico, Don Luis de Velasco. asked that a sum should be appropriated by the city for making pleasure grounds. Ths market place of San Hipollto was the most convenient for that purpose, so changes were immediately made, trees planted, fountains erected, florer3 set out and a high Inclosing wall built that was pierced by gateways. West of this park extended an open space known by the significant name of riaza del Quemadero. or burning place. Here rose a broad stone platform where the victims of the inquisition were burned. Abont the time of the American Revolution this torture platform was re- ! moved and the open space added to the Alameda, resulting in a tract containing some twenty-two acres, being nearly 1,500 feet long and about half as wide. Miles of walks wind in and out among the shady nooks and pass in their meanderings a garden for birds ; and playgfounds for children, as well j as numerous statues and figures. ModeraMexIcc

Partially because most of the street sweeping force of Richmond is composed of men too small in stature, a new hand broom, said to clean the thoroughfares like in Spotless Town, will not be purchased by the street department. Experiments which have been conducted for the oast few days by Street Commissioner Dye have proven the value of the patent, which does the work of four or five men, but none of the present force is able to wield the thing. M'GUIRE STEAMER THREATENED BY FIRE Quick Work on Part of Owner Saved It. An accident to the gasoline tank on Elwood McGuire's White steamer, almost resulted in destroying the machine by fire late last evening. While on Main street near Tenth, a jet of flame shot out of the back of the car and blistered the varnish badly. Mr. McGuire closed the supply from the tank, however, and no further damage was done.

NOTICES SERVED ' AREN0T JOKES Board of Health Determined to Clean the City. Notices which have been sent out by the board of health in regard to the cleaning of vaults, which George Young, sanitary inspector, asserts are not to be considered as jokes. An investigation and inspection of vaults has been made by the inspector and his assistants and in each case that a vault was found in poor condition the occupant of the premises has been notified. Ten days are allowed and at the close of th'ls time, a second inspection is to be made. If any vaults, which were reported as in bad condition following the first Inspection are found to remain unsanitary, prosecution is to be resorted to. The board of health has given the inspector instruction in regard to the matter. JUDGMENT RENDERED. In the Wayne circuit court this morning judgment in favor of the plaintiff for $795.30 was given in the case of Martin Cranor vs. Clarence Greenstreet. Suit was brought on note. A Horse Starr, Our Dumb Animals tells a remarkable story about the intelligence of a mare who saved her colt from death by stopping a train on a railroad in Texas. The colt had fallen with Its legs through a railroad bridge, and the mother started down the track to meet tha coming train. A the train came up she stood on the track whinnying. The train stopped, and then the mare trotted ahead of it as it moved slowly to the bridge. Here the colt was discovered and extricated from its perilous position. The story was vouched for by the engineer, railroad meu and passengers in tbe train. He Was at Chares. Saunders, the village slater, was a very poor attender at the church.
