Fort leavenworth army officer has
found his foreign matrimonial alliance
an insurmountable barrier to his mar-
riage to a Leavenworth girl to whom
he was engaged before his transfer to
duty In the Orient.
The Filipino wife has recently ar-
rived in San Francisco. and is reported
to be preparing for an immediate trip
to Fort Leavenworth to claim her re~
creant husband.
At least six officers at Fort Leaven-
worth are similarly situated. and
others are scattered throughout other

wives.
Many of the officers are known to

that the contract was to continue only
during their stay on the Islands. When
their commands returned to this coun-
try. these womeu were abandoned
without a thought that the ceremony
would be considered binding here.
Numbers of army men are engaged
to American girls and have been look-
ing forward for years to marrying
them as soon as they were re- -aasigned
to posts in their native land.
It is understood that the War he
partmcnt has recently issued a ruling
upon this question. which holds flint
all these Filipino marriages are valid

SENATOR HOAR'S WORLDLY P08
SESSIONS.
“All the incomeIproduclng property
I have in the world, or ever had, yields
a little less than 31.800 a year,“ said
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts. to
Francis E. Leupp. "Eight hundred
dollars of that is from a life estate. and
the other thousand comes from stuck
in a corporation which has only paid
dividends for the past two or three
years. and which I am very much
afraid will pay no dividends. or much
smaller ones, after two or three years
to come. With that exception. the

could not sell them now for enough to
pay my debts. I have been in my day
an extravagant collector of books.
“As to omcevholdlng and working, i
think there are few men on this con-
tinent who have put so much hard
work into life as I have. I went one
winter to the Massachusetts house of
representatives when l was 25 years
old, and one winter to the Massachu-
setts senate when I was 30. The pay
was 82 a day at that time. I was nom-
llrzrlorl on both occasions much to my
surprise, and on both occasions declin-
ed a rcnomlnation. I afterward twice
refused a nomination for mayor of
my city. have twice refused a scat on
the supreme bench of Massachusetts.
and refused for years to go to congress
when lire. opportunity was in my now
or. I was at last broken down with
overwork. and wont to Europe for my
health. During my absence the ar-
rangements were made for my nomina-
tion to congress. from which when I
got home, I could not well escape.
“The result is l have been here 20
years as representative and senator.

year by year. During all this time I
have never been able to hire a house

experienced the varying fortune of
Washington boarding-houses. some
times very eomfortable.'and a. good
deal of the time living in a fashion to
which no Pittsburg mechanic. earning

The chief carnal luxury of my life is
in breakfastlng every Sunday morning
with an orthodox friend. a lady who
has a rare gift for making fishbolls

nlghted Pennsylvanians can never
