Tribulaaion's Of a Bride.

Every woman who has been a bride
will sympathize with the sorrows of a
young lady who WAS married in Omaha
a few days ago. She had almost
reached the church when it was discoy-
cred that she had forgotten her bridal
veil in her nervousness and haste. She
went back after it. On the way to the
church again she sneezed and split her
satin bodice from belt to shoulder.
The carriage stopped at shop, needle
and thread was procured, and the rent
repaired As she stepped from the
carriage the lace bottom of an under
skirt caught and the button at the waist
gave way. In consequence the skirt
began to slip as she walked up the
church aisle, every eye of course, bent
en- her with cold critical look. With
her disengaged hand she clutched des-
peratcly at the slipping garment, man
aging to hold it through the side of her
dress until the ceremony was over and
she was once more in the carriage
Her next entirely natural act was to
fling her arms about the panic stricken
groom's neck and gave way to tor
rent of tears, the reason for which she
did not then impart. Philadelphia

The Years Work by the Various Govern
ment Ltfe-sayIng Stations


ment Lifs-savIng Stations.
WASHINGTON, November 26th.-Superin.
tendent Kimball, of the Life-Savipg Serv-
ice, IN his annual report for the last fiscal
year, reports 1920 life-saying stations in
operation at the close of the year, 10 being
on the Atlantic, forty-four on the lakes
seventeen on the Pacific coast and one al
the Falls of the Ohio, Louisville, XIV.
The number of disasters to documented
vessels within the scope of station oper-
ations during the year was All. There
were on board these vessels 1868 persons,
of whom only twelve were lost. The
number of ship-wrecked persons who
received succor at the life saving
stations was 743. The estimated value of
the vessels and cargoes involved in the dis
asters was 50, 555, ,2S5 and of the amount
S7,776, ,405 was saved. The number of ves-
sels totally lost was IL. In addition to the
documented vessels lost there were, during
the year, 133 casualties to smaller craft.
such as sail boats; row boats, etc., on which
were 297 persons, five of whom were lost.
Thirty seven other persons. who had fallen
from wharves and piers, were also saved
by the life-saving crews. -Four hundred
and ninety-two vessels stranded during the
year, were worked off and piloted out of
dangerous places, and besides this 229 ves-
sells in danger of stranding were warned off
by signals and saved from partial or total
loss.
The work OF the year, as indicated by the
foregoing results, Superintendent Kimball
regards as the best yet obtained since the
general extension OF the sea and lake coasts.
The cost of the service last year was 1925
oOO, and for the next year 1921, ,160 is asked.

fOWuerIy regrets HAVING Been Re-
Elected to His Old Place.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 26th.-In the
Knights of Labor Convention this morning
the Grievance Committee occupied the time
in the case CT the contested delegation from
District Assembly 40, of New York That
headed by James E. Fuinn was recognized.
Powderly says that he is sorry that he
was reelected. as he has been offered bet
ter job, one paying $1,000 for three months
work.
The business of the afternoon was nearly
all OF routine character. One of the first
things done was the passage of q resolution
to adjourn the Assembly sine die to- morrow
at noon.
The Committee on Appeals and Griev-
ances resumed its work. The only case of
importance considered was that of George
Schilling, who as Master Workman of
District Assembly No. "a, of Chicago, sus-
pended local Assembly 400 The latter
appealed to the General Master Workman,
and was by him reinstated Schilling
thereupon appealed the case to this body,
on the ground that a Master Workman of
a District Assembly, and not the General
Master Workman, had authority to suspend
local Assemblies.
During the hearing of the case Schilling
vigorously denounced Powderly on the
floor of the Assembly.
When Schillipg concluded his statement,
Powderly took the floor and argued in
justification of his action, by claiming that
when dispute arose between a District
Master Workman and the General Master
Workman the latter-being the superior
officer-was entitled TO authority.
The debate being closed, the General As
sembly first refused to sustain Powderly's IS
action in reinstating the local Assembly,
and then refused to indorse Schilling's ap-
peal by small majority vote The whole
matter was then referred to the new Gen.
eral Executive Board.
The newly-elected general officers were
installed this afternoon. Tomorrow the
Legislative Committee will submit its re-
port. II is understood that Robert d. Lay
