Fun at a GIANTS Wedding.

James Gilbert, giant, formerly
connected with Barnum's circus, and
Miss Gwennie Williams, a pretty
young woman, Of Scranton, Pa, were
married at the armory in that city
Thursday evening. Rev. William E.
Morgan, a Presbyterian minister,
an uncle of the bride, officisted. Five
hundred people, admitted at twenty
five cents each, were present. Hun
dreds of boys assembled outside the
armory and cheered at intervals dur
the ceremony, and the most serious
interruption was caused by the ap-
pesrance of a young man who, with
the aid of stills and police uniform,
made good imitation of the groom.
On his entrance to the armory the
boys made a great demonstration,
and the minister's word could not be
heard even by the bridal couple.
When the intruder saw the commo-
ton he had created he left the hall.
After the wedding the giant and his
bride received many congratulations.
Gilbert is seven feet six inches tall
and his wife five feet three inches.

MEDIA, Feb. 15.--[Special Sam
uel Roop, the teacher recently ap-
pointed by the school directors of
Claymont to take charge ofthe school
at that place, has introduced some
novel methods of punishment to con.
troll the wild and unruly boys that
come to him for instruction.
He does not believe in the use of
the rod, but some of his methods of
punishment are hardly less severe.
He found that the use of profsne
language was general among the
boys Of Claymont who attended his
school, and he determined to put
stop to it. ANY boys caught swear
ing, is not brought up before him
and after school his mouth is washed
out with a sponge and water, and
after that the teacher scrapes the
swearing tongue with a knife.
Nearly every night after school
closes, Teacher Roop has half doz-
en- or more mouths to wash out and
tongues to scrape, and one of the
directors says the practice is work.
ing well and the new teacher gives
satisfaction"
If two or more of the boys gets
into fight, the new teacher brings
the belligerents together and makes
them shake hands and ask each 9TH
er's forgiveness.
His ideas of punishment are new
in Claymont, but he is firm, and the
boys, big and little, are beginning to
respect him, and under his care the
juvenile swearers, fighters and tobsc-
co chewers of Claymont are likely to
be reduced to minimum.

Young Abraham Lincoln Dying.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-Young Abra-
ham Lincoln 10 apparently nearing
his last hour tonight. He is breath
ing very heavily, is in great pain,
and has occasional spasmodic seix-
ures or commissions. The specialists
who have seen him In consultation
are hopeless of his recovery. The
doctors have visited him six times
today. Nevertheless the wonderful
power Of recuperation he has hither-
to shown is regarded as point that
may yet save him. 1t is said that
his latest seizure is similar to that
which threatened the life of Alfonso,
the young King OF Spain.
Numerous cable dispatches OF in
quiry and sympathy have been receiv-
ed from the United States by the
family.

A Party's Inconsistency.

1t has been charged by the Demo
cratic managers in both the Guber-
Material and Congressional contests
that the negroes voting in Mercer
and Mcdowell came from Virginia
and were of course Republicans. If
the elections in Virginia indicate
anything it is that these people are
not Republicans but Democrats. In
the Fourth Congressional district of
that State, known as the Black
Belt" because of its tremendous ne
gro majority, the Democrats elected
their candidate for Congress in 1888,
and in the last election a large num-
Der of the counties with like colored
majorities voted or were counted for
the Democratic candidate.
The fact is mentioned not to prove
that negroes are really Democrats
but to show the inconsistency OF the
Democratic party. In Virginia that
organization can only account for its
majorities by claiming that they had
the support of the colored brother.
In West Virginia negroes are all Re-
publicans.--Fgart Top Monitor { Rep.

A Wonderful Phenomenon.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l8.-The Al
Ian line steamship Scandinavian,
which plies between Philadelphia and
Glasgow, had a narrow escape from
total destruction on her last voyage
from Philadelphia owing to the ex-
plosion of meteor on the decks of
the vessel on the the night of Jan. 40
last. She was in latitude Al degrees,
46 minutes, longitude IS degrees 6
minutes.
At the time of the occurrence the
sea was running high and the wind
blowing furiously. Chief Officer Mil
Ter, who was on watch at the time,
says that a sudden gale sprang up
from the northwest, accompanied by
a dense snowstorm, with occasional
squalls Of hail and rain. The night
was exceedingly dark.
In a twinkllng a ball of fire de-
scended from the heavens with a
Kissing sound and exploded on the
decks between the main and mizZen
masts. Sparks were scattered all
over the ship and hundreds of pieces
of metal flew in every direction.
Holes were burned in the decks,
and the widest CONSERVATION pre-.
vailed among the cattle that were
carried on deck. Several of the crew
were burned, and it was only through
the persistent efforts of the officers
that order was maintained. The
vessels head was kept before the
bowling gale with the greatest diff
Guilty.
The photographic Office at Wash
ington and the meteorological offices
throughout Europe look upon the
affair as one of the most interesting
and wonderful phenomena yet report
ed by seafaring men.

The WEEKLY SUN.-The Baltimore
Weekly Sun has made rapid strides
of late, and can be reckoned as one Of
the very best of weekly publications.
II has special departments devoted
to the farming interests, each one OF
which is edited by an expert in his
particular line. Geo. o. Brown, the
well known poultry Judge, has charge
of the poultry department and the
excellent articles emanating from his
pen in each issue of the Sun are
alone worth double the subscription
price of the paper, and should tend
to place it in the hands of every one
who is interested in any way in this
rapidly growing and profitable indus
try. He writes from knowledge, OBJ
tanned after many years of experience
and careful study-making his hints
and suggestions "true marks" for
breeders to go by. The above is
only one of the many special features
of the Sun which should find its way
into every household in the State.

solved to strike in a body tomorrow

coded to. There are 80 masons out,
and the carpenters number 200.

A Remarkable Catch.

Mr.. Festus Hill, an old trapper,
living near Hills Mill, on the Hazel
river, caught in a steel-trap one
night last week one of Mr.. B. F.
Bywaters's hound dogs and a red
fox. He says the only way he can
account for the most remarkable
catch is that the dog captured the
fox near the trap, and in the scuffie
for life or death, threw the trap,
catching the dog by the hind foot
and the fox by the fore foot. They
were both alive when Mr.. Hill reach
ed the trap, and, seemingly, on the
best of terms, but as mad as the
devil with the trap.-Culpeper (VG.)

The Aussrallan Ballot.

What is called the Australian bal
lot system is exciting general inter.
est throughout the country. 1t has
been followed in Australia for thirty
years, in England eighteen years and
in Canada sixteen years. 1t has sue
ceeded in sill those countries.
The system has already been adopt
ed in q number of States of the
Union, among them Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Wisconsin and Montana. It seems
that the last named State has under
it been able to accomplish the feat of
electing two Legislatures.
The principal features of the Aus
tralian method are that the govern
ment prints on one slip all the names
of the candidates, the voter receives
his ticket from properly appointed
person, takes it into a compartment
alone, and in sight Of his conscience
and the Almighty, affixes q cross to
the name of each candidate for whom
he desires to vote, folds his ballot
and drops it into the box, and no hui
man being can tell for whom he vo-
ted.
Massachusetts tried the plan first
in 1889, and Gov. Bracket thinks it
SO successful that he commends it in
his message to the Legislature
There is one thing certain that po-
litical party which contains the larg-
est number of illiterate voters will
suffer most, for in order to affix his
cross to the name of the candidate
the voter must be able to read the
ballot.
