A Naval Officers Romantic Marrige.

"Miss Grundy," in the Graphic, tells the
following romantic story OF the recent mar
riage of gallant naval officer who recently
returned from the Asietic fleet:
A curious piece of gossip, which is well
authenticated, comes here from Newport in
regard TO a recent "marriege in high life"
at that aristooratic resort. The facts are
according to those in q position to know,
that the groom who was to have served,
when the wedding day was fixed and the
bridesmaids invited to oficiate, was almost
at the last moment replaced by another
gentleman, the bride having made up her
mind just before it was too late that she
loved the naval officer, whom she met in
Europe while on tour around the world
about two years before, better than the
Washington gentleman, whom she met in
California while nearing the conclusion of
the same journey. The latter was on his
way to Newport, to terminate in marriage
an engagement which had lasted year or
more, and every preparation was rapidly
progressing for the wedding, when sudden
tly the naval officer appeared and acciden-
ally renewed his acquaintance with the
bride-elect. She reconsidered her pledges
to the other, and accepted the naval gentle
mans declaration of love, avowing that her
heart had only then betrayed its true in
clinations. The wedding took place on the
| day originally fixed and exactly as at first
arranged. in all respects save that SUBJ
stitute for the groom first selected took the
leading masculine role on the occasion.
The rejected bridegroom received tele-
gram en- route Of the change without the
lady he had hoped to place at the head of
| the establishment he had made ready for
his bride. 1t is soothing, while glancing
at his side of "the romance in real life," to
remember Shakspeare's consolatory words:
"Men have died and worms have eaten
| them, but not for love"

That Board.

In last weeks PRESS we noticed COM
munication from some person who calls
himself THE BOARD. Evidently that fell
lows Toes have been tramped upon, and he
squeals. He says Romeo was prompted
through jealous motives to cast stigma on
the board. had no such incentives. L
said nothing but what acualy transpired at
the meeting. As for Romeo being in favor
of the old System Of school management"
is mistake, and no Ireasenaple person
could draw such inferences from my COM
munication. In examinlng the Clerks
book fail TO find that the speller were
adopted for exclusive use" the board simp.
ly adopted the spoilers without abrogating
the one in use, and has thereby given us
another speller. 1t is now optinal with the
citizens Of the township whether they will
use McGufey's speller, the American, OF
both. Now, is that arriving at uniformi'
ty Of books? The Biographies were adopt
ed for exclusive use, but if the board does
not enforce it, and permits all kinds o.
biographies to be used, we never will
"gain uniformity Of teaching throughout

Let Us Organize For Victory.

The reports of the extraordinary victory
ID Toledo, are even better than the money
mongers' organs are willing to allow. In
the fifth ward of that city out of total vote
Of about 800 Johnston had 240 votes more
than West and Bishop together, and he had
27 votes more than both of the others in
the entire city of Toledo. Every candidate
on the whole county ticket was elected, and
SO we'll and firmly is the movement organi-
zed and welded together, that our friends
openly boast that never again will the
Democtatic or Republican parties be able
to carry that county.
In view of these facts, 1t behooVes us to
study the manner and means by which such
splendid success was achieved, and if they
are found to be effective, we should adopt
them throughout the country.
1t was all done through an organization,
called the National Party, divided into
ward and township councils. Il is not
necessary to say what can be effected by
this organization: The figures used in the
beginning of this article shows that. Its
effectiveness has been gloriously demon
strated. If we add that it is simple, with.
out any hycns-pocus or red tape, all will
understand that il is just what we need
everywhere. Let our friends in Cleveland
and all over the state, set the ball rolling,
and organize these councils. Some may
object to a secret political organization
But Dangerous cases demand heroic treat
ment." The enemies oflabor are thorough
ly and secretly organized. They have all
the wealth, all the influence and most of
the intelligence. Their secret associations
must be fought with secret associations
Fire must be fought with fire. Diamond
must cut diamond
AS Burke very ably put it, "when bad
| men combine the good must associate, else
they will fall, one by one, an unpited sac
riice in contemplate struggle"
All who desire futher information con-
cerning the new organization, can address

To the Laboring Glass.

THE SOMERSET Press is the friend Of
the laborins man and will advocate and
defend the interest of the laboring masses.
In the late oompsign in this county the
Democratic and Republican paper both
united to crush the Laboringmen's ticket.
They lied on the editor of this paper
whenever an opportunity offered, The
Tribune issued a lieing circulor, and like
.reacherous towards peddlsd them around,
taking care that il would not be known
until the eve Of the election. Tho Herald
and Tribune unite IN Icing on THE PRESS
and are both linked together, We call up
on the laboring masses to subscribe for the
THE Press and help support a paper
which has saved for the taxpayers of the
county during the past year several hun
dred dollars, and befor another year rolls
round il will double what it has already
done. The PRESS is the organ Of the
workingmen's party in Perry County, and
will stand by the party at all hazards
knowing that the principle is the correct
one,
