McCall, until recently presl dent of the New York Life Insurance company, died at 5:35 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Laurel House lu Lake- wood, N. J. Mr. McCall's physical breakdown oc curred at about the close of the In' vcatlgatlou of the life Insurance af fairs lu this stale by the legislative committee, In December last. The re port of the committee Is expected to be submitted to the legislature at Al bany curly this week. Mr. McCall's examination before tho committee was a severe ono and the ordeal ho under wont In rehearsing In detail the af fairs of the company and of divulging transactions about which the general public was Ignoruut worried him greatly, it was bald. Joho A. McCall was born In Albany, N. Y., March 2, 1849. He entered the Insurance business early In llfo und lu 1S85 was appointed state insurance commissioner by Grover Cleveland, who was then governor. He relin quished that position to become comp troller of the Equitable Life Assurance society, which post he held until he became president of the New York Life Insurance company In 1892. New President of France. Clement Armand Fallieres assumed the duties of president of Frauce, while President Loubet paused Into pri vate life. The ceremony of the trans mission of office took place in the Ely Bee palace at 4 o'clock Sunday after noon, while the crowds that were mussed lu the surrounding streets shouted "Long live the presidont" and "Long live Fallieres," and every mili tary garrison In France thundered a salute of 21 guns. President Louhet, surrounded by the members of the cabineU-the presidents of the senate and chamber of deputlos and the members of his military house hold, welcomed- M. Fallieres and In a few earnest words committed the ex ecutive functions to the new president. The reply of M. Fallieres was without formality. It was a simple acceptance of the new responsibilities and an as surance of his best efforts lu carrying them out. MM. Fallieres and Loubet both wore evening dress with the broad scarlet Fashes of the grand cross of the Le gion of Honor across their breasts. The presenco of their military staffs In full uniform gave a touch of bril liancy to the scene within the palace, while the escorts of cuirassiers which accompanied MM. Fallieres und Loubet to nnd from tho palace gave fitting dignity to the occasion. In tho evening Premier Rouvier form ally handed tho resignation of the cab inet to President Fallieres, The new president, however, requested the min istry to continue In office. The cabinet will meet Tuesday morning for the first time in the administration of President Fallieres. Ship Subsidy Bill Passed. the subsidy shipping bill, which was passed, 38 to 27.

Another feature pf the bill Is that creating a naval reserve forco of 10, 000 officers and men who are to re ceive retainers after the British prac tice.

No steam vessel of less than 1,000 tons Is to receive aid under the bill. Trade Relations With Germany. The German government shortly will go before the Imperial reieliFtag with u proposal lo give the United Slates tlio same treatment under the p-w tariff which becomes operative Hatch 1 as that given to countries with whom Germany has arranged reciprocal trade treaties. The precise terms of the govern ment's bill will depend somewhat on the result of tho negotiations which are slill going on nt Washington be tween Ambassador Von Sternberg nnd the state department as to modifica tions in the American system of Invoic ing and valuing, some features of which are considered by German ex porters ns vexatious and unjust. The German government's proposal to give the United States this favored treatment Is only for a fixed period, probably a year, so as to afford timo to concluda more permanent arrange ments.

WHITE HOUSE WEDDING Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Long worth Happily Married. - The nuptials of Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth occurred at high noon on last Saturday. Great prep arations had been made for the event and while the number of In vited guests was limited to close kin folk, the personal friends of the bride and groom, members of the cabinet, the supreme court and diplomatic corps, and Mr. Longworth's congres sional associates of the committees on foreign affairs and pensions, the ca pacity of the White House was' greatly over-taxed. 1111 MRS. LONGWORTH. The .East room, In which the cere mony occurred, was literally a bower of flowers. In which roses predominat ed, tho White House conservatories having yielded their choicest blooms to deck the occasion. Palms In great profusion were used to form a bridal bower In front of the central windows on the east side of the room. These palms were festooned with southern smllax and the whole was brightened with white blossoms and knots of ribbon. Miss Roosevelt's wedding gown was not remarkable for Its elaborate char acter but rather for Its tastefulness and simplicity. And Its quaint and picturesque setting was more becom ing than a costume of greater preten tiousness. It was a shimmering robe of silver and white brocade, trimmed with exquisite rose point lace Inherit ed by the bride from her own mother who died when Miss Alice was three days old. The wedding services, which were conducted by Bishop Satterlee, were comparatively simple and the respons es of both bride and groom were clear ly audible to all In the room. The musical portion of the ceremony was furnished by the famous Marine band, which was stationed In what was the public lobby when tho White House was used for offices. After the completion of the cere mony the specially Invited guests, about 700 in number, repaired to the banquet room to partake of the wed ding breakfast, the bride surrounded at her table by the young women who have been her special chums and who would have been invited to be brides maids but for the danger of making discriminations and wounding some body's feelings. CgrYKKHT IV BROWN BROS. NICHOLAS LONGWORTH. The wedding presents were very numerous and costly, the heads of many foreign governments taking the opportunity to express esteem and friendship for the American people by gifts to the young woman whose sire happens at this time to occupy the post of chief magistrate. In fact tho capacity of tho White House attic has been tested to find room for the gifts, which are said to number over 800 and to bo valued at at least $100,000. Late in the afternoon the happy couple departed In an automobile for "Friendship," the country residence of John It. McLean, six miles from Washington, where they will spend the first few days of the honeymoon. In the spring when congress adjourns a honeymoon trip to Europe will be undertaken, thus completing the trip around the world which was begun when both were members of Secretary Taft's party last fail. It is the inten tion of the couple upon their return from this trip to live In Washington except between sessions of congress when their residence will he the old Longworth home In Cincinnati. khhw d UNIFORM DIVORCE LAW8.

The dissolution of the mar riage tie has become so common as tc be regarded as an ordinary event awakening no comment and meeting with little or no disapproval. Ther6 are more divorces granted annually In the United Stiates than in any othet country on the face of the earth except in Japan. "A writer who has Investigated the subject declares that at the time ol the census of 1900, there were 198,914 divorced persons living In the United States, that there were nearly 70,000 divorces granted In 1903 and that the proportion of divorces to marriages Is increasing with alarming rapidity. We may well regard such degeneracy in morals and such loss of that fibre which gives character to a nation with the gravest apprehension.!' Governor Samuel W. Pennypacket was chosen president of the congress The congress was called by'Governbt Pennypacker, the Pennsylvania state legislature having appropriated $10, 000 to defray the expenses of it.

HUDSON TERCENTENARY And Centennial of Steam Nav igation cn That River. Governor Hlggins In Special Message to Legislature Recommends Creation of a Permanent Commission and a Preliminary Appropriation The Pro posed Hudson-Fulton Exposition. Albany, Feb. 20. Governor Hlggins last night sent to the legislature a special . message recommending the passage of appropriate legislation to ircate a permanent commission to make arrangements for the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the Hudson river and the centennial of the first use ot steam navigation on that river. He also recommends that a prelim inary appropriation be made. The governor some time ago named an un official commission but It Is without power to act for the state. The mes sage of the governor is as follows: "During the past year the historical societies and public spirited citizens have been looking forward to some ac tion on the part of the state and the city of New York for the appropriate celebration of tho three hundredth an niversary of the discovery of the Hud son river by Hcndrik Hudson In the year 1C09, and of the centennial anni versary of the first use of steam In the navigation of the Hudson river by Robert Fulton In the year 1S07. "These two events lu the history of the Hudson river are of such Interest to the state of New York and to the United States, that It seems fitting that a proper celebration of each should be had. "Having In view such official action, I acceded to the request of many gen tlemen Interested In the plan, to name a committee of distinguished citizens, with whom a committee numed by the mayor of the city of New York should co-operate to formulate plans for a celebration of the tercentenary of the discovery of the Hudson. "It has been suggested by this com mittee after long and careful consid eration that both events might with propriety be celebrated together In the year 1909 'and that the union of these two observances would strengthen each, and would more effectually con centrate upon the affair the attention of the world. "The committee now acting has no official status and is wholly nn Inform al and unofficial body. In order to give It official standing, nnd to pro vide It with sufficient funds for pre liminary expenses, I recommend to tho legislature the consideration of a bill entitled 'An act to establish the Hud son-Fulton celebration commission and to prescribe the powers, and duties thereof, and making an appropriation therefor,' a copy of which Is herewith transmitted for your consideration."
