Wcil-cd to a Red Flower Vcse
A Matrimonial Idea of .the Chinese;. Which .-Might
V Solve a Good Many Difficulties for ;-.
" "'. . Our Own Civilization : -.. ; . '
' I Chin, who eivilisatfoa wu
old before our began, and which i
- therefor oorreapondinjly . advanced
' la many particulars, they have solved
, one phase of the matrimonial prob
lem. ' . ' .
- Aoeordinf U a recent newppf
1 dispatch, young- Chinese lady, be
; longinc o one of the most fcriato
eratie families, has just heen married
to a red flower vae the vase being
a substitute for the young-, man to
V whom, she ru betrothed, and . who
v died just before the wredding-r ' The
- proipeetive bride wished to enjoy, the
:'. dignities and freedom that ; belonged
', to a matron, and that are denied to a
- maid, but her heart was in the grave
with her dead lover, and the couldn't
bear to think of marrying another
man, to the red flower rase was aub-
itituted for the bridegroom , and
. the, marriage celebrated with all due
.pomp and ceremony. ' '
For many years " America has teen
sending money and missionaries with
out stint to eonvert what we call, in
our fatuous foly the "heathen Chinee"
It is now China's turn to mato a
courteous missionary retort and put
. us under eternal obligation by intro
; duoing in America the pleasing eus
torn of marrying a woman to an in
. animate -ob ect r when-, no animate
t - object applies for the' job. . -;.
In this country .there ' are nH
: enough men to go around, evenP"
all would wed, and every year piles njl
the - deficit in the .matrimon
'bureau. What should be done about
the surplus woman problem has, "been
' " a question that seemed unanswerable
' until .the acute Chinese came along
with' a suggestion so simple and so
direct that it leaves us wondering we
. didn't guess the answer to the oon
undrum long ago. Just popularize
the idea of marrying a flower vase,
. and yon have done away, onoe and
for all, with old maids, girls bachelors,
and. all the disadvantages of spinster
r' hood. - ' .V--. "-
A" far greater number of women
V marry just, for the sake of being
married than we ever Bugpect. They
- are not lovers at heart, - They are
not irresistibly : drawn to particular
' men. . Their instincts,, are for oeli
bacy, and ; left to themselves they
y would far rather be free than bur
dened with the "caros and ' responsi
bilities of husbands and children.'
But they want to write "Mrs."
instead of "Miss" before their names.
v They want the status of the married
woman.' - Above 'ail,.; they ; want the
, liberty of the ajrried ajtfomon, for
we ding to the absurd tradition 'fhat
, a single woman, though she be 90, is
.'' still a debutante, and that shemust
- be ohaperoned, and that it is inde
' licate for her to hear or spevk of any
' - topic that isn't dressed up in white
muslin and girdled with a blue sash.'
Also, that the single woman must,
perforce, live with her friends or her
.-- family, no matter how much Bhe
wouldlike to set up an establishment
of her own.
.- To this large set of single women,
rich old maids,' and business women
- earning good ' salaries, a red flower-
vase husband would fill a matrimonial
ideal; and they would espouse it with
' an enthusiasm that no mere man
ever evokes. '
" s In reality, the , red flower-vase
husband is not as startling an in
novation as it seems. ' Many a wo-
i man has discovered, to her sorrow,
that the has married a whisky bottle
" Instead -of a man, and she would be
glad enough to trade him off for a red
. flower vase if she eould. !
- There are men so full of vanity
and eonoeit and self-importance that
,. their wives had just as well have
, ' united themselves to . a ; balloon or
, ' any other sort of gas bag. There are
husbands who are to silent in their
. ' own homes that a store dummy could
, be substituted - for them , without
their wives ever finding but the dif-
. ferenoe, and there are other women
who believed that they were marry
ing tender Romeos who ascertained
after ' marriage that they tied up
with surly bears, that- growl when-
ever yon speak to them. -' ,;.
' There are husbands in plenty, who
are so tour and tart that their wfves
would find a vinegar jug a sweet com
panion ' besides them. , There' are
Other men so immersed in their busi
' ness and professions that their wives
' would have had just as much sym
' pathy and companionship if they had
married a ledger, or a law book, which
r they could have shut tip when it
made them tired. "
Also, there are men who wouldn'i
. ' find marrying a red flower vase in
stead of a wife suoh a bad idea, for
there are men who have found out
after marriage that instead of a
living, loving human woman they
have led nothing but a fashion plate
to the altar, ; There are other men
who have ascertained to their sorrow
that tbey married talking machines
that never run down and .that they
I . can't shut off, and still other men are
, marriod to weeping women who are
nothing but hydrants, with the tap
always turned on. ,
- Of oourse, there are some dlsad
vantages in having a flower-vase
spouse. As a husband he might go
broke, or get full, like a human hus
band. A a wife she would nevr bo
anything but a parlor ornament; but
the advantages outweigh the uiH&il
vanUgs, and th Chinese plan is
f-irnoRtty recommended to those so-
is who srs disturbed ovr
our diminishing matrimonial rat. .
As a happy expedient for th super
fluous woman, and the old bachelor
who would like to b free though
married, the red flower-vase substi
tute for a husband or wife takes the
wedding - cake.

EARLY RISERS IN WILLIAMS.
ftURG HEAR ROAR AND
EVENTS FOLLOW TOO
FAST FOR POLICE.
New York. Nov. 17. A 3-ineb
ater main in Brvaswu-k avenue
between MontroM and Johnson av
enues, Williamsburg, burst yester
day morning. Early risers heard
roar and a rumbling sound and a
building in the neighborhood
trembled under the shock, and then
great column of water shot into the
air, taking paving blocks and earth
with it.
Lights eame flashing to the windows
tenement houses. There were
screams of women and children, and
here and there the report of a re
volver. When these people looked
and saw the water spouting from a
great hole in the street. A trolly
car could be seen eareening toward
the. seething fissure. .Men were
scrambling out of the car for their
lives.
In a minute tenants were rushing
from buildings op every side, some of
them floundering into the water,
others turning back in fear and reach
ing safety by way of tire escapes
and back yards. All of them were
scantily clad, and most of them were
excited. Then a streak of flame shot
from a doorway and the cry of "fire"
mingled with the general confusion.
Patrolmen Rosenfield and Hoffman
of the Stagg street station were first on
the scene with aid. They saw that
the hole in the street went clean to
the curb on one side, and that the
people rushing pell mell from their
homes werf in danger of plunging
headlong into the, opening. They
stood guard there, and shouted di
rections" as best they could amid
all the shouting and howling.
When they saw flames shoot out of
the four-story frame building at 253
Buswick avenue Hoffman jumped
through them. Awoman coining
down from the third floor had let
lamp fall as she saw the flood out
side. She turned and fled to the rear
of the building. Hoffman went to the
second floor and dragged Morris
Goldstein from his sick bed to safe
ty. The firemen made short work of
the fire, but it was otherwise with the
flood. For an hour the 3G inch main
pened into the street. The water
ran down a slope to McKibbin street
and made a lake there. Police re
serves ordered first-floor tenants out
down there. The basement of public
schools 147 was filled with water,
and thousands of dollars of damage
was done to tobacco leaf in the
plant of E. Locker & Sons, at John
son and Buswick avenues.
.Electric light and . telophone wire
conduits had been ripped up in the
break and short circuits made dan
gerous work tor everybody. rne
water department sent an emer
gency crew, and three crews or tne
Brooklyn Rapid Transit came from
the Ridgewood terminal. A trolly
car, the front truck of which had been
lifted from the tracks by the force
of the water spout, was dragged back
from its dangerous position over the
edge of the hole. Fourteen passen
gers in this car had a narrow escape.
It was several hours before, quiet
was restored, and all day fire engines
were kept pumping water
out of oellars in the flooded area.
Deputy fire chief Lally took personal
charge of this work. The water de
partment men have not flguerd out
yet just what caused the break. This
main was put down years ago and a
leaky sewer or a bad joint may have
worked the soil out from it and caused
a strain.

Sheriff R. B. Lane and Deputies
E. J. Bayl ss and T. W. Holton left

moonshiners. The object of the Sher
iffs' visit is to capture the block-
aders and he is said to have informa
tion which will doubtless be of con
siderable aid in locating the men.
The Sheriff and his posse were heavi
ly armed and will' be prepared for
the 'shiners in case there is any more
shoo tin matches pulled off.

Woman Dead
MRS. JANE BRADFORD KILLS
HERSELF DESPITE RICH
MAN'S MARRIAGE PLEA
New York. Nov. 17. Mr. Jane
Staeey Bradford, of a well known
New 'England family, and once weal
thy, killed herself yesterday by il
luminating gas in her home. No. 352
Central Park West, at 95th street.
She had leased the house with the
idea of taking in roomers, and when
none eame she became despondent,
according to her friends.
Mrs. Bradford, was a widow and
52 years old. An hour after her
body was found a long distance tele
phone message for her came to the
house from a man in Philadelphia
who had several times asked her to
marry him, and had been refused
each time.
Much mystery was made of the
identity of this man by friends and
relatives of Mrs. Bradford, who ga
thered at her home, but it was ad
mitted that the Philadelphia man,
who is said to be worth a great deal
of money, had made every effort to
get Mrs. Bradford to become his
wife. This story was told to Coroner
Healy by Mrs. Gertrude Fischer,
Mrs. Bradford's housekeeper and
friend. According to the coroner's
nformant, the man was called "Colo
nel," but Frank Mugridge, of Leo
minster, Mass., Mrs. Bradford's
brother, refused to let those at the
house disclose the full name.
It was said, however, that he is
elderly and has a grown daughter
living in Philadelphia. He hurried
to this city immediately on hearing
of Mrs. Bradford's death, but. he
could not be seen last evening at the
house.
Mrs. Bradford was born at Lynn,
Mass. Her husband, James Bradford,
died 20 years ago, leaving her a sub
stantial fortune. Her friends could not
estimate the amount, but said that
Mrs. Bradford had btn-n "very well
off." She went to Philadelphia to
live, and lost all of her money
in investments.
At the end of October she came here
and leased the five-story house on
Central Park West.
IN MEMORIAM.
To the Master of Kadosh, and
members of New Bern Consistory
No. 3. Aneient and Accepted Rite
of Freemasonry, in the valley of New
Bern, and the members of the Co
ordinate Bodies, Lodge of Perfection,
Chapter Rose Croix and Knights
Kadosh.
The following memories herein sub
mitted by the undersigned committee
on the death of our brother William
Singleton Qaskins, who departed this
life on the morning of November
10th, 1914.
William Singleton Qaskins was
born in Craven county, 76 years
ago, and nas been a resident of New
Bern all his life, with the exception
of short time spent in the mountain
section of North Carolina in recup
eration of his health, which he never
fully recovered, and after a short
time returned to this city and on the
morning of November 10th, 1914
death laid his hand upon him. His
end was peaceful and without any
suffering.
In the Gorth Rite, our deceased
brother was made a master Mason
in St. John Lodge No. 3., A. F. &
A. M., exalted a Royal Aroh Mason,
in New Bern chapter No. 40 and
created a Knight Templar in St.
John's Commandery No. 10 K. T.
In the Ancient and Accepted Scot
tish. Rite he was made a Perfect
Master in New Bern Lodge of Per
fection No. 6. A Knight Rose
Croix in New Bern Chapter No. 5
An Inspector Inquistor in Council
of Kadosh No. 4, and a master of the
"Royal Secret in New. Bern Consist
ory No. 3. 32rd degree. He was
Tyler for all of the above Bodies
Brother Qaskins was also a member
of Oasis Temple Ancient Arabic
Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine
Our Brothers wife had preceded
him to the grave only a short time
ago and one son and several grand
children survive him, and we com
mend them to our Heavenly Father's
eare and condolence.
Brother Qaskins was a member of
Centenary Methodist church, South,
and was interested in every good
work for the uplifting of humanity.
He loved his church and he loved
Masonry, and he had learned that
the latter oould not increase the sub
lime doctrines of religion, bnt like
religion Masonry requires love to
God and love to man, it claims no
jurisdiction, and usurps no control
with spititual intercourse with heaven,
but it oontinually directs men to that
all seeing eye, whioh penetrates his
most ' secret thoughts, and teaches
him tolerate on freedom and liberty,
and to elevate the soul above the
gross indnligenee of vice, and refine
his affections in. the crucible of living
virtue, purity and truth, -
The funeral of our brother was in
charge of St. Johns Lodge No. 3,
with vuitlng br.thom from Doric
Lodges. ' Representatives from all the
Masonic Be dies including the uni
formed esoort of Knights Templar,
acoompanled the remains from his
Jate residence to the church, where
the religious services Were performed
by Revs. McWhorter and Cade, and
at the conclusion of whioh, the re
mains were esoorted to Cedar Grove
cemetery and there laid to rest, with
Masonic 'honors.' '
Sleep on, O Brother Until the waking
, ' day.
And ever we, who loved thy pre-
sence here
Will keep for thoe, through cbangrs
