“TRIAL MARRIAGE” DID
NOT PROVE SUCCESS
Old Man's Scheme Eor
Happy Union.
HARDWICK. MASS., Get. 22.
(Special)—The trial marriage of El
mer M. Thayer, aged f!8, and Mrs.
Abide Abbercombie, aged 43, has end
ed in failure. Mrs. Abbercombie has
returned to her home in a huff and
Thayer, with confidence unshaken in
the trial marriage idea, is waiting to
hear from other eligible women.
Thayer is an eccentric civil war
veteran possessing considerable prop
erty. His advertisement for a wife
on trial brought hundreds of re
sponses. More than iOO applicants,
ranging in age fiom 2c to SO, called
person. All, however, were rejected.
Mr. Thayer then went to Athol and
saw Mrs. Abbercombie, who had j
written him, and brought her to |
Harwick and installed her in charge
of his home.
Thayer and Mrs. Abbercombie were
actuated by opposite motives. Thay
er's first marriage was so genial that
he wished to assure himself that hi->
second partner would be equally as
satisfactory. On the other hand,
Mis. Abbercombie’s second husband
was so incompatible that she divorc
ed him, and though disbelieving that
marriage is a failure as a concrete
proposition, an experimental marri
age seemed to her to have decided
advantages.
Ignored Neighbors.
Thayer and Mrs. Abbercombie
agreed to ignore the comments of
Hardwick residents, and the post
master was notified that trouble was
in store for him if he permitted the
villagers to read postal cards ad
dressed to Thayer, who carefully
sorted and arranged his correspond
ence alphabetically', even aftei be
ginning the expei iment.
A month of trial' marriage has con
vinced Thayer and Mrs. Abbercom
bie that they are not affinities. Mrs.
Abbercombie said to a World repre
sentative today that for the first
week she loved Thayer so much that
she would doubtless have been foolish
enough to marry him had he suggest
ed it Her chief grievance was that
Thayer did not take her to ride
enough, he did not come home as
early as he might, and he grew neg
lectful in little ways.
GAMBLING ELEMENT
OUT OF N. Y. BANKS
NEW YORK, October 22. (Special)
—A feeling of contentment and sat
isfaction prevails in banking circles
after the history-making meeting of
bank presidents, which succeeded in
finally eliminating the Heinze, Morse
and Thomas interests in certain of
the clearing house banks.
The meeting Sunday was the most
notable gathering of bankers in re
cent years. The deposits of the banks
represented amounted to $1,250,000,-
000. The men, fifteen in all, and ev
ery one a practical banker, convened
at the clearing house while the bells
of old Trinity were ringing for the be
ginning of church services.
These fifteen men decided upon the
measures for eliminating the inter
ests that have been under criticism,
which measures later in the day were
carried out. The methods that have
now been eliminated from the local
banking situation, it is stated, are a
development of the last decade.
They consisted of the buying of a
bank, then putting up the stock rep
resenting that control as collateral
for funds to buy control of another
bank, and continuing the process with
banks and trust companies so that
the result is practically controlling
“chains of financial Institutions and
their deposits.” The crisis, it is de
clared, has been a serious one, but
the cure extended is expected to be a
complete one.
His Dear Old Mother.
‘‘My dear old mother, who is now
eighty three years ohl, thrives on El
ectric Bitters,” writes W. B. Brun
son, of Dublin, Ga. “She has taken
them for about two years and enjoys
an excellent appetite, feels strong
and sleeps well.” That’s the way El
lectric Bitters aflect the aged, and the
same happy results follow in all cases
of female weakness and general de
bility. Weak, puny children too,
are greatly strengthened by them.

EiNANCIAE TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO HYSTERIA
People Selling as East as
' Possible.
NEW YORK, Oct 22.—(Special)—
In the opinion \of Daniel Guggen
hei.m. President of the Guggenheim
Exploration Company, the present
disturbance in the financial district
is due almost entirely to a state of
hysteria on the part of the public,
brought about by the activity of bear
operators and resulting in the sacri
ficing of securities at prices far be
low their actual value, needlessly,
thoughtlessly, and ignorantly. In
the opinion of Mr. Guggenheim the
trouble is likely to blow over in the
course of the next two weeks or so.
“Primarily,” said Mr. Guggenheim,
“the present situation is due to the
money condition. I have no doubt
that it was first started by shrewd,
long-headed bear operators, who first
sold their own shares and then sold
hundreds of thousands of shares that
they did not own.
Then the brokers found the banks
crowding them on interest rates and
reducing the amounts they were will
ing to lend, and these brokers forced
their customers to sell, and the first
general reaction set in. This in turn
was followed by the bears oversell
ing the market again.
“Now we have the third stage; we
have reached the third stage of the
proceeding, which I think I may term
the hysterical stage. There are at the
present time a large number of peo
ple who are disposing of their hold
ings just as fast as they can, regard
less and without any thought of the
actual value of the securities that
they possess. This condition is be
ing aggravated by the bear operators
I spoke of, who are helping the hys
teria along by selling more and more
securities.
“What in the end will clarify the
atmosphere and settle the whole sit
uation will come in perhaps two or
three w T eeks at the most. Then you
will find that the situation will be en
tirely changed. The money that is
now being used for moving the crops
will be freed as the crops will be at
seaboard, and with their shipment
gold will be forthcoming. In addi
tion there Is already an enormous ab
sorption going on all over the coun
try.
“In my mind there is no doubt that
the whole market is very much over
sold.”
SHERIFF HOOD WIFE
STRICTFY ENFORCE FAW
Doth Jury and Prohibition
Question.
MONTGOMERY, ALA., October 22.
—(Special)—Sheriff Hood has an
nounced that he will “hew to the
line',” let the chips fall where they
will, both on the jury question and
prohibition.
In an interview he says:
“In view of the report of the grand
jury that the State revenue and pro
hibition laws are being constantly vio
lated in this County and suggesting
that the County officials should be
as able as the federal marshals to
discover and report these violations
to prevent their continuous repeti
tion, and to secure evidence sufficient
to insure their conviction, I now
put all violators of the State revenue
and prohibition laws on notice that I
will do all in my power to ferret them
out and bring the guilty to justice.
“So long as I am sheriff I will aid
in whatever way I can the enforce
ment of law and order and shall not
be deterred through fear or favor.
“I shall make no distinction be
tween criminals, no matter what their
stations in life, but shall do my duty
as I conceive it, fearlessly and hon
estly.
“It is my ambition to aid the courts
in the execution of the law in an able
and impartial manner—in such a
manner as to give assurances to liti
gants in court that their cases may
be tried by fair and impartial juries
and to see that every man gets a
square deal.”
