the conferences of the American and
Mexican Joint Commission. The three
Americans and three Mexicans com
posing this commission have decided
upon the place, but are not yet certain
of what day they will begin their
deliberations.
It has been suggested to the Mexi
cans that the whole party go to New
Lonaon to-morrow on the presidential
yacht Mayflower, but it was said to
day that the Mexicans may ask to stay
in New York a day or two longer to
give Luis Cabrera, the Mexican minis
ter of finance, one of their number, an
opportunity for further conferences
wiih Dr. Alfredo Caturegll, financial
agent of the Carranza government, and
with local financiers interested in Mexi
can railroads.
The commissioners met at a
luncheon to-day given by Secretary of
Slate Lansing. Negotiations, accord
ing to Secretary Lane, of the Depart
ment of the Interior, who is one of the
American commissioners, will be con
ducted as informally as possible. Mr.

Sfecial to the Telegraph
Martinsburg, W. Va., Sept. 4.—The
championship race between Chambers
burg and Martinsburg in the Blue
Ridge League is not as yet decided,
and probably will require both teams
to-day to definitely determine the win
ner of the pennant. By winning Sat
urday from the Maroons in Chambers
burg Martinsburg is still a pennant
possibility. However, the chances are
favorable to Chambersburg. as she can
win the championship by taking one
game to-day or by tying either game,
while losing the other. Martinsburg
can only win by taking both games
from Hanover, while Chambersburg is
losing both to Frederick. While this
is an extremely long shot, local fans
are pinning their hopes to the fact that
Frederick is traveling at a great clip,
and has always found Chambersburg
rather easy, while Martinsburg will be
playing on her own grounds with a
team that she has had little difficulty
beating all season.
NEW RSE FOR POWDER RAGS
Special to the Telegraph
Evanston, 111., Sept. 4.—A new use
for powder rags has been found by
Evanston girls since tennis has be
come a nocturnal sport in the suburb.
Golf is relegated to a secondary po
sition in Evanston's sporting calendar.
Electric lights with big reflectors have
been installed at the tennis courts on
the Lincoln school playground. The
merry whang of racquet on ball re
sounds through the neighborhood long
after quiet citizens are abed. The girls
powder the tennis balls the better to
see them in the glare from the lamps.

TAKES GARRISON
With Force of 1,000 Captures,
San Antonio; Pershing

Special to the Telegraph
El Paso, Texas, Sept. 4.—Routing j
the garrison, Francisco Villa, with a j
force of 1000 men, is in possession of
San Antonio south of Namiquipa, ac
cording to information received here
by code message from Chihuahua City
yesterday.
Moving northward, the Villa army
yesterday attacked the San Antonio
garrison of 200 men and either killed
or captured the majority of the sol
diers. A handful of men fled to the
mountains.
Had Arms in Hiding
Advices received here from the

Namiquipa some time on Tuesday and !
will enter the mouth of the Santa
Clara Canyon where, it is believed, he
has a large amount of ammunition,!
rifles and several machine guns
cached.
The prisoners captured at Santa
Ysabel and San Antonio have Joined
his forces and are being armed by the
bandit chieftain. Villa is expected to
have marshaled together more than
1500 men, many of whom are sUll un
armed.
Both General John J. Pershing and
General Jacinto Trevlno have been
notified of the Villa movement.
Whether they will attempt to trap the
bandit at the mouth of the Santa
Clara Canyon is not known. But there
has been no troop movement south
ward of the punitive force, the south
base of which is at Eil Valle, within
striking distance of Namiquipa.
The small force of troops sent
southward by General Trevlno to re
inforce the garrison south of Nami
quipa have all been defeated by Villa,
| many of them deserting and joining
his standard. Both State Department
officials and the army fear that Villa
intends forcing intervention south of

WOMEN'S INTERESTS
Ten Commandments
Of Matrimony
The first commandment of matri
mony Is. Thou shalt not lie.
Neither before marriage nor after
marriage shalt thou deceive the part
ner of thy bosom, but of most Im
portance Is strict veracity on the safe
side of the altar.
The reason that so many marriages
are failures Is because they are found
ed on falsehood, and the men and wo
men who have entered Into them are
as much the victims of a confidence
game as any trusting soul who ever
invested his whole fortune In a salted
mine, or purchased a gold brick from
a sick Indian.
Each has been taken In, flim-flam
med. done for. The woman the man
finds himself married to Is no more
the woman he thought he was get
ting for a wife than she Is be'ng from
another sphere. The man the wo
man finds herself married to for life
no more resembles the little tin god
she thought she was getting ror a
husband than he does a gentleman
from Mars. Even the conditions of
matrimony under which they must
exist have nothing in common with
the way they had figured married life
out to be.
What wonder that both are dis
appointed and disgruntled, and find
marriage a failure.
This does not Imply that either the
husband or wife was a deep, dark,
designing vtlllan who deliberately
lured the other to his or her ruin. The
deception was unconscious and prac
tised according to the conventional
j rule that makes It the correct thing
to pave the way to the matrimonial
' Gehenna with white lies. This is al
! ways done in our best society, and the
1 custom of baiting the matrimonial
| hook with falsehoods has been prac
! tised so long that it is doubtful if
! any catch would ever be made If the
i truth should be substituted for It.
Both Should be Frank
Common sense dictates that the
I man and woman who are about to
1 enter into a partnership in which their
| every Interest and every earthly
| chance of happiness are bound up,
{should be perfectly frank with each
other, and explain the situation
' honestly, but such candor Is nevef
indulged in matrimony.
No man, for instance, in popptng
the question to a girl would dare to
say "Mary Jane, you have no beauty
to boast of, and I am under no Illusions
that you will set the river on fire with
i your brilliancy, or are a pinfeathered
I angel, but you are healthy and whole
some. and practical and domestic, ana
| are the sort of a girl who makes a
. good wife and a good mother. I like
j you and I'd like to marry you, but
I if you marry me you will have to put
up with a lot of crankiness and seif
j ishnpss in me. and for the next few
years, while I am getting a good start,
you will have to do your own house-
I work, and make your own clothes, and
i do without luxuries to which you have
been accustomed. How does the
proposition look to you?"
Oh no, no man ever proposes to a
girl In that fashion. On the contrary
he tells her that she Is the most
beautiful creature that ever lived, and

which he was attempting: to break. Is
said to be recovering from his Injuries.
that he'll die If she says "no," and
that if she married him, her little
white hands shall never have aught to
do except to smooth his fevered brow.
Then, when she does marry him and
finds out that matrimony Is a gas
range and a sewing machine Instead
of a silk cushion, there is small won
der that sbe feels that she has been
swindled.
Both T/arlc Courage
Nor are women any more honest be
fore marriage with men than men I
with women. Every girl who Is hus
band-hunting pretends to be what she i
thinks the man she desires to charm i
wants her to be. She never hat> the (
courage to let even her finance see
her with her complexion off, and her 1
temper and her views of life In good ;
working order. Wherefore many a 1
man who thinks he is leading a mild,
meek little creature to the altar, that
he expects to mould to suit his own j
tastes, gets the Jolt of his life when i
he finds that he has been united In
the holy bonds of wedlock to a virago
Instead of Patient Grizelda.
Undoubtedly it is more important
that a man should be Truthful James,
and a woman Veracious Jane before
marriage than It is they should be
strictly truthful with each other after
wards. Indeed, if they have been can
did with each other before marriage
they will have no need to be afraid
to tell the truth to each other.
The real reason that most husbands
and wives He to each other Is because
they dare not tell the truth. The
man who wants to stay downtown and
have dinner with a friend, or play a
game of cards, would prefer to tell his
wife about It, but experience has
taught him that she will lecture him
half the night about it if he does, so
Ihe tells her a whopper about being
kept, by business, or having to meet
j a man from Oshkosh.
A woman would much rather tell
1 her husband that her new hat cost
I twenty dollars instead of fifteen, ex
cept that she knows that in one case
: she will be berated for her extrava
gance. and In the other she will get
off with merely a conjugal grunt or
disapproval. So, human nature being
weak, and domestic peace precious,
each Is forced by the other Into be
i coming members of the Ananias so-
I clety.
Rocks for Matrimony
Thus does falsehood become one of
| the sunken roofs on which the Good
; Ship Matrimony founders. For in the
] end lying is one. of the things with
which one never quite gets away.
Sooner or later the liar is found out.
j His little air castle falls in ruins at
! the first touch of reality and leaves
nothing but a handful of broken
: dreams and hopes.
Moreover, the man who has once
lied to his wife, or the wife who has
! told fibs to her husband, is forever
; after under suspicion, and love, es
! peclally conjugal love, can have no
| peace unless it rests upon unques
tioned faith, and that must rest upon
I truth.
I Remember the first commandment.
Thou Shalt Not Lie. Leave the man
|or woman who is not strong enough
panion for some other liar.

In Switzerland the goat Is placed
ahead of all other animals. If a
boy plagues a goat he can be fined
and sent to prison. If a person meets
a goat on a path and drives It aside
he can be arrested. If a goat enters

and is hit with a club or stone, the
person guilty of the offense must pay
a fine.
In Paris the bronzed horse's head

Since the early seventies of the last

Man Found Beheaded on
Mountain Is Identified
The identity of the beheaded man
found in Robert's mountain on Au
gust 13, was established on Saturday
through the efforts of County Detec
tive* James T. Walters and Detective
Harry White of the White Detective
Agency, assisted by Coroner Eckinger.
The man was D. W. Stoddard, of
Ilion, N. Y„ who had been employed
by the Elliott-Fisher company and
roomed here for some time with Mrs.
Anna Metzger, 618 Delaware street.
Detective White, who had been work
ing on the case of the disappearance
of Stoddard, asked to have the body
of the man found in the mountains,
exhumed and re-examined. Between
the lining and the outside of the coat
an Identification was found, issued by
Mayor Meals, and bearing Stoddard's
name. A bottle containing a liquid
was found, and it is believed that
Stoddard went into the mountains and
committed suicide, as he had threat
ened to do, according to friends.
City police are endeavoring to lo
cate a son who resides in Ilion.

To Discard Freckles,
Tan, Pimples, Wrinkles
The use of creams containing animal
substance sometimes causes hair to
grow. You run no risk of acquiring
j superfluous hair when you use ordin
ary mercolized wax. There Is nothing
better for a discolored skin, as the wax
■ actually absorbs the offensive cuticle.
. The latter is naturally replaced by a
. clear, smooth, healthy complexion, full
■ of life and expression. It's the sen
sible way to discard a freckled, tan
ned, over-red, blotchy or pimpled skin
Get an ounce of mercolized wax at any
druggist's and apply- nightly like cold
cream, erasing In the morning with
soap and water. It takes a week or
so to complete the transformation.
The ideal wrinkle remover Is made
by dissolving an ounce of powdered

The captor of Jefferson Davis spent

General Wilson ventured the pre
diction that the European war would

"The war is a battle between demo
cracy and small armies on one side
and autocracy and great armies on the
other," he said.
"It )s plain to see how little good
