At the residence Of the brides parents, in
Ottawa Centre, Sep. 2Sth, 1885, by Rev. W.
F. Day, assisted by Miss Jennie H. Caldwell
acting pastor of the NJ f. church, Miss Mae
Stormont, of Ottawa, to Mr.. W. II. Knowles,
of Chicago. Mr.. Knowles bears to his new
home one of the most popular and capable
ladies in our city. She will be greatly
missed from our social and religious circles
for she is highly respected and beloved by
all who know her. The bride and groom
will make their future home in Chicago. A
large circle of friend, and relatives extend
to them hearty congratulations and wish for
them all happiness and prosperity.
The ceremony was strictly private. No
cards.
Observation-Disclosures evening, at
the home of the brides parents, La Sale
Franklin Webster the bright and able young
editor of the New York Insurance Chronicle,
the leading journal of that city, was married
to Miss Jennie Mason, daughter of Esq. W.
I. Mason. The fair bride is one of the we'll
known society young ladies of the West end
cities, while Mr. Webster is the eldest son Of
f. c. Webster late for many years publisher
of the La Sale Press, Of which paper Frank
was for the two years previous to his going
to New York, city editor. The FREE TRAD
Err requests that Mr. and Mrs. Webster, at
their happy home in Orange, j., will place
on file its sincere congratulations, with the
earnest wish that married life may unfold to
them its choicest blessings
LoCKE-CourANr.-Every zephyr that blows
up this way from La Sale of late is laden
with the scent of orange blossoms and we'd
dings and honeymoons. In fact it seems
that matrimonial wave with cyclonic force
has struck the Imperial" city, which
abounds in marriages and rumors of mar
riages. In this connection must be men
toned the marriage of Frank Locke the
popular hotel clerk of the Harrison house,
to Miss Ida Coutant, on Wednesday. Frank
may be congratulated on winning the heart
of the handsomest young lady in La Sale
and just as good and true as she is beautiful.

A remark Of the venerable Ex-Governor
Seymour, of New York, in a recent inter

business and no doubt covers the principle
exactly on which President Cleveland is
now acting in its application to appoint

There can be no question that so long as
we have civil service commission its

should be in sympathy with the prevailing

SPECIAL DELIVERY.

The efforts OF Postmaster General Villa

States, in cities Of not less than 1000 popu
latiOn, by the Inauguration OF an immediate
delivery service, which went Into elect OF
Thursday, i. in the highest degree com
mendable. 1t is an act thoroughly charac
teristic Of the new administration in bring
ing about needed departures and reforms
not only IN the postal but in other govern
mental departments. While the idea un
doubtedly originated with his predecessor
il is left TO a Democratic official to do the
work, and no less credit must be extended
TO the present chief of the postal service
for the deep interest, activity and zeal
manifested by him in his endeayors to
make the movement recently put in opera
ton one which should not fail of success
through lack of energy on the part of the
department The public may at first be

some time to familarize the patrons of the
local post office with its beneficial results.
However, as time passes, and these advan-
tages are constantly brought to notice by
the urgent necessity of the occasion requir-
ing such delivery, this new postal depart
ure will ride into popular favor. 1t will
become the means of more rapid transit
in the delivery of mail matter promptly to
its destination when this is required. There
is no other possible method to do this than
by special delivery service. All classes
of the patrons of post office occasionally
require the transmission of mail matter
speedier than through the ordinary chan
nels of calling personally or having their
letters delivered by carrier. 1t is service
created for the benefit of the people, one
fifth of the revenue from the sale of special
delivery stamps accruing to the department,
the remainder being paid to the messenger
service. 1t marks "a progressive spirit in
the history of the postal service which Is
