set for this evening, and an elegant supper
had been prepared for eighty guests The
prospective groom went to Mertens this
morning to view his vast estate and bring
the old folks to the wedding. Shortly after
his departure Bob Hightower appeared at the
brides home and requested the privilege of
a last interview with her. This was granted.
The call was short and TO the point. A walk
was proposed, which resulted in ride in
conveyance conveniently near al hand. The
party was wIiIled to Corsieana, where. after
obtaining license, minister was secured
and they were married, leaving Hall 10

Olympic Handicaps - Discovery Of
Phenomenal sprinter.

The good people of Petaluma were much
surprised yesterday morning at the large
number of National Guardsmen who made
that town their destination. The occasion
Tor the visit was an arranged shooting match
between Company b of the Third Infantry
Regiment of this city, and Company Z of
the Fifth Infantry Regiment of Petaluma,
the well-knOwn shooting company of the
National Guard.
The competing teams shot twenty men
each, ten shots to the man. at Creedmoor
targets, d!stance-2oo yards.
1t has always been conceded by the
guardsmen Of this State that the Petaluma
boys stood among the foremost shooting
companies west of the Rocky Mountains.
In all their matches heretofore they have
come out victorious. But yesterday proved
an exception to their unbrUken record, and
Company Is of the Third Regiment won
hard-earned laurels from their mastery op-
poneuts. When the result of the contest
. was announced three hearty ,heerS for COM
pauy c were given by the victors.
HosPITABLE MARKSMEN.
Before the shoot the visiting team was
agreeably surprised on being escorted to the
range to find a bOuntiful supply Of good
things awaiting them, which the Pttauma
boys had prepared for their refreShment.
Such open-handed Hospitality was as thor
oughly appreciated as it was unexpected,
and was done full justice by the visitors.
Another pleasant incident marked the de
.parture OF the winning team. which, as it
was about TO board the cars, was presented,
through lis company commander, Captain
Kennedy, with an elegant bouquet and the
compliments of the ladies of Petuluna- The
presentation speech was made by Colonel
kellogg, to whom the ladies had delegated
the pleasant duty.

Professor John D. McMaster, the his
torian, was asked last night for his views
of the letter of Thomas Mexican that was
read by ex.Secretary Bayard at the I'M
yelling of the monument to Caesar Rod
ney. Mr.. McMaster said: "There is
nothing in the letter that was not al
ready known. 1t is well known that the
Declaration of Independence was adopted
on July and was read to the public
from the State House steps on July A,
and SO became public document. 1t
was not at that time signed by all the
colonial delegates, for the reason, among
others, that several of them were waiting
for clearer instructions from their re-
spective colonies. 1t was signed after
these instructions had been given. The
secret journals of the colonial congress
have quite all been published in frag-
ments. What remains Of them are on
deposit in the state department at Wash
ington, and their contents are well
known. 1t seems to me that congress
ought to make an appropriation to have
them all printed, together with letters
and other manuscripts throwing ad-
ditional light on the subject. The jour
nails are now, of course, necessarily inn
perfect. The sessions of the congress
were private. Nobody was admitted ex-
cept members, unless by leave, and only
a record OF proceedings was made that
would be safe. The journals were also
partly burned when the British were in
Washington in 1914; and afterward by
an accidental fire. Philadelphia Press.

Condensed Milk.

1t Is only recently that the prob
lem of condensing milk has been solved
in satisfactory manner. In the be-
ginning of the century Frenchman
named Oppert conceived the idea of sub
jecting cows milk to certain treatment
by which its natural properties could be
preserved for long time and which
would render the milk capable of being
transported over long distances. Num-
erous attempts were made by all nations
to carry out this idea. The evaporation Of
the milk at temperature below 100 degs
G., the evaporation in vacuum, and the
addition OF 80 to 40 per cent. of cane
sugar to the milk to be condensed, were
applied separately and collectively until
finally an American succeeded in max
ing his experiments of practical value,
and condensed milk was soon placed
upon the market. Boston Globe.
