NEXT year ii is estimated that the
bill passed to enable congressman to
secure the votes of the soldiers will cost
the government $4l,50O,OOO. We
hope none Of those NJ. C's will die
during the session, for if they should the
expenses of burial would almost bank

ed out as the bridal party entered. In
pure white raiment, with a few choice
and costly ornaments, setting off the
natural beauty of her face, Miss
Peetsch looked very charming, and
when she took her place by the
groom's side in front of the sanctuary
railing, and the three bridesmaid
drew up behind her, the eyes of the
whole congregation rested on the
couple. Then the Rev. Alphonsus P
Pelletier appeared with the acolytes
and several clerical assistants. Mr.
Brennan had been a pupil Of his il
the past, and it was a duty of ahec.
ton to utter the words that woulC
make the young man and his brid,
one. Contrary to the general custom
in the Catholic Church, Father Pei.
letter was to address a few words O.
exhortatiOn and advice to the youns
couple, and his manner was quite i'm.
pressive.
He stood before the altar and
turned to address them. He spoke il
a clear, strong tone of voice, and out.
side of a faint flush upon his cheek,
he seemed calm and self-possessed
Bride and groom stood hand in hanC
in front of him, and his eyes rested
on them as he extended his hand in an
attitude of benediction. At that mo.
ment his voice faltered, his face sud
denly paled and he fell forward at the
foot OF the sanctuary ratings, There
was a moment of excitement and sus.
pense, during which the faces of the
o%nlookers showed anxiety and alarm.
and the stiffness was broken by the
rustling of dress and a great
%craning Of necks. Then the assist
ing clergymen lifted Father Pelletiel
up. He was breathingfaintly. but hi,
face was CHASTITY, and it was clear that
the hand of death was upon him,
They carried him into the vestry,
uttered the words of absolution and
sought to apply restoratives. But il
was Of no avail. A few weak pulsa-
tons Of the heart and then life passed
away. The oelebrant of the marriage
had been stricken dead with heart
disease while the congratulatory
words he addressed to his old pupil
were fresh upon his lips. The stu
alton was a trying one for both bride
and groom. Happily, however, they
did not appreciate the fatal signif-
canoe of the priests ~faltering voice
and that heavy fall upon the altar
steps. They stood calmly till the YES
try door closed upon the dying man.
and then, in the futter of excitement
that followed, they drew back for a
moment and waited till the door
opened again. This time Father Nker.
rick appeared. He mounted the altar
steps and uttered some ~reassuring re.
marks calculated to satisfy the con.
gregation, and then he very happily
took up the ceremony, which had
been so tragically interrupted, and
went on to the end, when he pro.
nounced the young couple man and
wife. Then the organ pealed out
again the jOysome strains and the
bridal party moved out followed by
the throng, who were not aware that
the %celebrant was lying in his sacerdo-
tai robes-lifeless.

composing the body held an informal
consultation in regard to his re-
cent conduct. Special tress was laid
on the sensational style Of preaching
IN which he has of late been indulg.
ing. More than ever a general senti-
ment of disapprobati0n was evoked,
especially with regard to what some
OF the clergymen claimed were glaring
violations Of the policy Of the church
on the part of the tabernacle preacher.
In the line of his shortcomings, it is
said, were included in his visits to
haunts of vice, and his pictures Of
gilded sin so wildly presented to his
congregation.
Nothing definite was determined
upon in the consultation, although the
brethren came to the conclusion that
1t was high time some action should
be taken. The feeling of opposition
to Mr.. Talmage which has been seeth-
ing for some time has nearly dubbed
over. Since the Presbytery last met
his sharp thrusts at his contemporary
"pulpiters' have aroused a storm of
Indignation, not only among the clergy,
but laity as well, and in some quarters
the demand that he be disciplined has
been earnestly made. 1t is understood
that the developments in the trial of
the Tabernacle suit against MI. Gil
son, as discreditable to him, and they
will probably form a portion of the
charges which, it is reported, are to be
presented against him. 1t is also
claimed that Talmage has practically
ceased to be a Presbyterian.

outrage, because by its introduction a
great number of American children

and the hours Of study are in conse-
quence shortened.
