smiling rejoinder, as he prepared to GO

writer.
There is no sacrifice OF power in this dis

do not understand. The invention is a new

yourself with the route and with Dames of
good hotels at the various stopping places.
z. Never travel with just enough money
but always carry enough TO provide for any
possible emergency. This will save much
anxiety.
3. Wear but little jswelry, and keep the
large part OF your money in some inside
pocket, sut OF sight 1.-THE trouble of the lady

4. Always look after yourself, and do not
allow & stranger 10 procure your tickets or
chs cks for your baggage.
o. Avoid, Is possible, making changes in

the crowd.
6. Take no hacks, but go In an omnibus
where there are other people. These are
perfectly safe.

Some 800 persons gathered at St. Mary's
church, Lafayette, "Wednesday, to witness
the marriage OF John w. Williams and Miss
Mary Barry, both OF that city, but were dis
appointed, as the hour for toe ceremony ar
rived and neither bride nor groom put in an
appearance. This, of course, caused quite 4
sensation. Williams was expected 10 arrive
from Chicago, Tuesday, where ne had gone
several days ago, and his failure to do so was
the cause of considerable indignation, no
reason being given for his conduct.
The motion for a new trial in the cele-
brated Ensminger case, argued at Lafayette

The experiment OF requiring the registra-
ton of third class mail matter, the post Office
officials regard as likely TO prove successful.
AS yet il is impossible TO definitely calculate
the probable increase in revenue, as the
scheme is still in it's incip:ency. There is
reason to believe, however, that great good
will be derived from the operation OF toe
plan. Already there is marked increased in
the shipment OF small packages through the
department, il having the advantage over the
express companies of net charging aceumu-
laiing rates according TO distance or transfer.
No more than 10 cents, in addition TO the
postage per weight OF package, will be

fee for registry. Yesterday very large
amount of this matter was handled, and il is
