a PRAYER MEETING WEDDING.
The Developments that Surprised the
Supplicants at DIR. Chester's Church
Last Evening,


Supplicants at DIR. Chester's Church
Last Evening,
The regular Thursday evening prayer meet
ing was held at the Metropolitan Presbyterian
Church, corner Fourth and c streets southeast,
last evening. Nothing unusual was noticed,
but during the service great many friends of
James D. Dnrnoll and Miss Mary Evuns, who
were to be married at Slj o'clock called, and
seeing no signs of llymen's presence inquired
into the matter. The ianitOr, to whom these
questions were generally addressed only
shrugged his shoulders mysteriously and said:
"Really can't say anything about IT,. I've
been told not TO and won't. If you will take
a seat inside you will see all that happens"
This added expectation for something I'M
usual to the mystery, aud many of the we'd
ding guests took seats ut the prayer meeting
thoroughly bewildored. Amer few expert
Cnces" were given aud the doXology finally
pronounced, Rev. Dr. Chester, the pastor of
the church, requested those present to be seated
for n time whercupon the sliding doors scpa-
rating the lecture room from the class rooms
were pushed back revealing the bridal party,
those specially invited having been let into
the secret Of entering the side door of the
church. The bride and groom advanced, and
after u short and impressive ceremony Mr.
and Ms Darnall received the congratulations
of their friends, The bride, who Is the daugh
ter of Thomas Evans, Of the pension office, was
tadeiully attired In Il brown walking dress
with hat TO match, and looked very handsome
beside the manly looking groom who sealed
the marriage contract with graceful kiss

TIE HAPPY NEW YEAR.
ny SAMUEL ADAMS wrGciS.

Now hath the Old Year flown away
ON dropping pinions to the silent land,
In spotlcss raimcnt, lovely as the dawn,
The New Yearwakes in heavenly beauty
All hail thee, Virgin child Of Time,
Most bcauteous of his children fair,
Thy white brows crowned with light divine,
The Morning star shines brightly there.
Thy slness hands and snowy arms
Eniold a wealth of blessings rare,
And thy SOFT eyes of violet hue
Have nc'er shadow Of n care.
Thy rcd lips glow with love and JOY,
Thy bosom throbs with life and peace,
Thou art the Day Star of the morn
To give the Weary sweet release.
Thou art the Lords own promised time,
Thou art the happy, glad New Year;
Aud so we hail thee, maiden fair,
And greet with joy thy coming here,
We kiss thy spotless hands of snow,
Bestrow thy path with garlands green
A floral carpet for thy sinless feet,
OF lilies in theirsilver sheen.
All hail, sweet yestal Of the dawn,
All hail thy coming TO the weary lands,
We give thee greeting IN loving song,
And kiss thy white and sinlcss hands.

obstreperous Indian Scouts.

TUCSON, ApI2., Dee. 3l.-A special to the Star
from Duncan says: Tho rangers who have
been in pursuit of the hostile indians have just
returned. They report that the Indian scouts
IN command 10 compel them to obey his orders.
The chase had TO be abandoned, and the troops
returned to this place without having accom-
plished anything. kilograms have been sent
10 Gen. Crook, asking for instructions. The
scouts are armed and the officers are afraid to
disarm them. The soldiers and indians are
now encamped here separately.
Advices from Corraitos to the 2Sth instant
state that a courier from Gen. Crook passed
there in search of Capt Davis, who started SOW
eral weeks ago for the Sierra Madre mountains
with his command, consisting of one company
and 100 Apache scouts. Since then nothing
has been heard ofany ofthe command.

THE PRESIDENT CAUTIONED.
COMMENTS UPON HIS "ACRID sTRIC-
TUREs UPON THE AMERICAN PRESS
United states Treasury Vaults Sealed
by Cashier Whitney-Danger of n
violent Conflict Opposing silver
Coinage WIN Retaliato.

NEW YORK, Jan. q A. M)-Tho Tribune
writing about President Clevclauds letter on
newspapers, says this morning, under the
head Newspaper Defamation" the President
ought TO be cautioned by his friends against
recklessness In correspondence. In correcting
mtsstatement made by western journal re-
spectng Joseph keppler he so far iorgcts tho
dignity of his high office rs to make some
sweeping accusations against the American
press. AS the President is generally credited
with sincerity aud good intention, IL
Is evident his acrid structures upon
useful purpose. We take It that his criticisms
are meant largely for the benefit of the Demo.
cratic press, which aided in clecting him in a
campaign of reckless and malevolCnt dcinmn-
ton unparalleled IN the political annals oil tho
country. Ills opponent was attacked month
after month Ms no statesman In American pub
lie life had ever been nssaicd before. Mr.
Blaine's correspondence was mOnstously per-
yerted, his private business transactions
were ransackcd with malign purpose, and
snnctity of his home wantonly invaded from
beginning to end 1t was campaign of malig-
nant defamation on the part of the Democratic
press. Apparently the Presidents retrospect
of the methods by which his election was SO.
cured is not altogether satisfactory. The Presl.
dent occupies n position in relation to civil
service reform in advance of his party Pre-
sumably IL is his ambition TO develop within
the party n strong sentiment In favor Of his So
he Will succeed, but warns him that
II is n tremendous undertaking, since the DEM
ocratic party has the same affinity for re-
former that rabid dog has for water. But he
certainly deserves the best wishes and hearty
sympathies Of all patriotic Americans II, in al.
ditiOn to completing the education of his party
in the civil service, he aims to reform the habits
of tie Democratic press and to prevent the re-
iamation as that by which he himself has prof
tied.
