A Queer Bridegroom.
Baltimore Special.


A funny story comes from the village of
CrumptOn, where the gossips are discuss
ing the marriage of Miss Matte Glanding
the principal of the school. and DR.. Il. c.
CahOon, the village physician and druggist
When the ministerial blessing had been
given and the benediction pronounced, the
happy pair stepped into the finest team the
town could afford and drove to Ralph's
wharf, twelve miles away, to take the
steamer Emma A. Ford for ii wedding trip
to this city and Washington. When the
steamer was reached. however, the bride
groom concluded that ne could not desert
his practice and his drug store, even for
the pleasure of bridal tour, so placing his
bride on the steamer, with many emphatic
injunctions to the officers to look after her
comfort, he slowly and sOrrOwfully wendell
his way home, while the lonely bride came
on TO Baltimore. Mrs. CahOon visited
friends here and in Washington, and en-
joyed her lonely wedding tour best she
could. After three days absence she
returned. and yesterday morning was met
by her husband at the wharf. The. little
house was ready for her, and the happy
pair have gone to housekeeping.

A New Mineral.
N New VI
Boston Advertiser.


A new mineral has been discovered named
Sperrylite. in honor of the man who found
it, Mr.. Francis l.. Sperry, of Sudbury, On
tario, chemist to the Canadian Copper Com
pany, of that place. 1t is essentially an
arsenide of platinum, and of great interest
since platinum has not been found before
as an important constituent of any mineral
except the alloys with other metals of the
platinum group. The mineral was found
at the Vermillion mine, in the district of
Algoma, Province of Ontario, place
twenty-five miles west of Sudbury and
twenty-four miles north of Georgian
bay, on the line of the Algoma branch of
the Canadian Pacific railway. The mine
was discovered in October, 1887, and q
three-stamp mill was put up for the purpose
of stamping gold quartz Associated with
this gold ore are considerable quantities of
pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite, and
at the contact of ore and rock and occupy
ing small pockets in decompOsed masses of
the ore, there is a quantity of loose mate
rial composed of gravel containing particles
of copper and iron pyrites. 1t was in mill
ing this loose material that several ounces

JOURNAL BY the d of enterprise and strict
attention to the wan.J of The reading public, dur
ing the great campaign of 1888, it has taken
leading position among the most prominent jour

best. Among the newspapers of the State il is
prominently the best, and Indiana readers can
nowhere else find what they want in the way of

market reports are prepared with the greatest
care possible, and no pains or expense are spared
TO make them accurate and absolutely reliable.
1t is the only newspaper in the State owning and
publishing all the news furnished by the two
great press associations (the Western Associated
Press and the United Press, in addition to which
it furnishes an abundance of special service from
all the principal cities of the country 1t has
been, and will in future be, the aim of the pub
fishers to make the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL a per-
feet and complete newspaper, deficient in no de-
partment or particular. The paper challenges
comparison With any of its contemporaries.
No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Re-
publican, should be without the Journal. While
it is thoroughly and soundly Republican in poll
tics, devoted to the interest of the Republican
party, the JOURNAL will not allow its news to be
colored by partisan bias, but will give the news
of the day without fear or favor.
Owing TO the prominence of Indiana in the
next administration the JOURNAL viii give par

And We hope that the best aud wisest
will go. At present q much more
important matter presents itself for
the considerable Of our people aud
the next legislature can do the State
much better service in passing laws
relative to it than any affecting, in any
way, the sale Of liquor. Suffrage in
Mississippi is the great and paramount
consideration, There are very many
prohibitionists in the State ana very
many opposed to it, but we are sure
that the vast majority Of both are
more affected by the question Of the
ballot than whether liquor shall be sold
by licensed dealers or blind tigers.
And we say this without prejudice to

to some, as it has been q curse to
others. 1t has redeemed and it hiss

The citizens Of Wilkinson county
have indeed cause to congratulate
themselves upon the condition Of the
county. hen the Republicans
we're ousted they left a debt Of about
CSC, 600 saddled on the tax payers
through extravaganza and fraud.
About 100000 of this debt was
bearing eight and ten per cent. in
%terest. This debt has been paid
except a few thousand dollars, and
Wilkincon county cashes her war
rants on demand.
This sound financial condition is
due to q succession of most excel
lent Boards Of Supervisors, who
have administered county affairs
with strictest economy and integrity.
The present Board ranks with the
best in every respect and is, to a
man, noted for its watchful vigi-
lance, and the strict scrutiny it
always gives to money matters affect
ing the county.
This is just as it should be, and
tie history Of our c unity admins
tration for some years affords a
striking illustration of the import
ance of selecting good men as
members OF Boards Of Supervisors.
In fact there is no more important
office in the gift of the county than
that of member of the Board Of
Supervisors, aud it requires a first
class man to fill it properly.
This BoarG is the County Legisla-
ture, it often sits as a court; is
charged with financial control Of
county affairs, and it is apparent that
too much care cannot be exercised
in selecting its members.

Mr.. Editor:
You deserve and are receiving the
thanks of the entire community for
calling attention to our municipal
affairs. There is no town under the
sun the taxpayers of which are kept
in SO profound ignorance of the
ways of the town authorities as are
those of Woodville.
Those ways may be straight-but
are certainly dark. Those who
furnish the money are certainly
entitled to some information as to
how much is taken from them and
what disposition is made Of it-and
yet to inquire into it-seems to be
regarded as a personal insult TO the
"Authorities" and an imputation on
their personal and official honesty.

Of that. Their work shows for it.
We have heard some of our ''ofi-
Gals" boast Of the wonderful i'm
provement the "town'' has made in
the cemetery grounds. Can you
inform your readers Mr.. Editor how
much Of our "tax money" has left
the town treasury to aid in this
noble work5 Many persons would
like to know.
There are several other things they
would like to know: On what

There was a grand gathering Of
Dignitaries of the Catholic Church 10
New Orleans, on the 9th inst. /,
headed by Cardinal Gibbons, on the
occasion of confering the Pallium on
the newly appointed archbishop Of
that province. The States tells what
the Pallium is:
1.-THE Pallium is 3 band Of white
wool, worn on the shoulders. 1t
has two strings Of the same material
and four purple crosses worked on
it. 1t is worn by the Pope and sent
by him to patriarchs, primates,
a~rchbishors and sometimes, though
rarely, to bishops as q token that
they possess the fullness of the
Episcopal office. Two lambs are
brought annually to the church Of
st. Agnus, at Rome, by the apos-
tolic subdeacons, while the Agnus
Del is being sung. These lambs are
presented at The altar and received
by two canons Of the Lateran church.
From this wool the pallia are made
by the Nuns Of Tore de- SpecChi.
The subdeacons lay the palIia on the
tomb Of st. Peter, where they remain
al night.
