THE OLD FLAME REVIVED.
A Wedding With Dash of OId-Time Ro-
nance About 1t.


IFROM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON. Dec. IA wedding. with
bit of somewhat dramatic romance in it, took
place in Christ Church. Georgetown. to-day,
when Miss Annie Hunter, of Virginia, was
married to Rev. DR.. Henry ]. Davis. an emf
nent Presbyterian divine. 1t was over 30 years
ago when the lovers first met and then Annie
Hunter was a pretty, red-cheeked maid, be-
longing to well-known Virginia family. That
was before the war when the hospitable Vir-
ginia planters kept open house, and when
houseful of guests was an everyday occur
renee. Annie Hunter happened to be visiting
at the home of her bosom friend during Pres
byterian convention in the village. The minis
ters were scattered about at the different
houses. and among the guests at this particular
mansion was young theological student, who
had Just passed his examination for the minis
try, and che brilliancy of his examination was
the talk Of the whole country round about.
He was as handsome as he was bright. He re-
manned long enough to become quite fascinated
with pretty Annie Hunter, and for her friend
to fall in love with him.
Neither of these facts were known, however,
until later. week OF so after his departure,
Annie Hunter received a letter from the young
minister 1t was great surprise to the girl,
Tor. while 1t did not contain a proposal exactly,
1t was SO worded as to mean thar, if replied to
in a similar spirit. 1t took Miss Hunter only
about two days to realize that she was really
IN loVe with the handsome young man and she
proceeded to write reply. While engaged in
the pleasant task, her intimate friend entered
Annle's room. Discovering that she was writ
ing letter. she offered to post it. Annie said
she would give to post boy, but the friend in
sisted. and secured the letter to carry it to the
office.
No answer ever came and the girls pride
suffered a terrible blow but she crushed out
all remembrance of the matter as far as she
could. Years passed. She read of the marriage
OF the young minister and his brilliant success.
Recently there was Presbyterian Assembly in
DIR. Davis. more than mfddle-aged minister.
He heard in some way that Annie Hunter was
In the neighborhood and wrote polite note,
asking permission TO call to renew an old
friendship. The request was granted. The
minister came. He did not find the pretty girl
who won his heart over 81 years ago, but his
old love was reawakened. Annie then learned
for the first time of the letter that never came.
1t did not take long for them to come to an un-
derStanding. They were married today.

EX-GOVERNOR FORAKER FUTURE.

He Hopes for the Senatorship, but Not for
Presidential or Gubernatorial Honors.
From the Washington Post.1
The returning Republican members from
Ohio bring some interesting gossip about ex-
Governor Foraker, about whom very little has
been heard of late. The Governor is said to
have settled down to his law practice which is
growing to such dimensions that he will become
a wealthy man.
HE has become more prudent in his speech"
said a prominent Ohio Republican yesterday,
''and is not likely to make any more sensational
remarks. He has given up the idea of securing
the Presidential nomination and he believes, as
every one else comedies, that Mr.. Mckinley will
be the next Governor of Ohio. Governor For
aker is laying wires for the Senatorship to sue
ceed Mr.. Sherman. That is now his only politi-
cal ambition"

The mix-up in that South Carolina Con-

The mix-up in that South Carolina Con-
gressional district is explained by the Philadel-
phia Times to be due to the fact that "Mr. Mil
ler (the Republican candidate), in order to
force the colored voters to vote for him or to
incur the vengeance of their race leaders, had
his tickets printed of smaller size and on tinted
paper, SO that every vote cast for him could be
recognized by all present before it was depos-
Ited." We are glad TO be assured on this Dem
ocratic authority that South Carolina has
reached that stage of political enlightenment
where the use of marked, timed or tissue bal
lots is forbidden to the Republicans.

Old Parties Need Not Fear.
Washington Post (Dem.)

washington Post (Dem.)
There is no reason why any members of the
old political parties whose patriotism is greater
than their partisanship, should look upon the
new movement with suspicion, much less with
fear. Some Individual ambitions may, indeed,
be disturbed, but greater good to greater
number may be gained. The farmers of the
country have fully as large an interest in it's
welfare and prosperity as any other class of
citizens. They are eminently sensible. practical
and patriotic. They will not long adhere to a
policy which develops mischievious tendency.
The Alliance movement, therefore, in giving
fresh impetus to political action may lead to a
needed revision of old theories and methods.
may have an influence on the correction of
some abuses and may do something toward
giving practical effect to the doctrine that
Government by the people is for the people.

The Sunny Side,


IETHEN the rain descends in torrents,
And the city's hid in fog,
When the prospect truly warrants
Dismal bowling from dog,
Then think of distant places,
California, let us say,
And the sunshine soon replaces
All the clouds of sodden gray.
Chimney tops are changed to branches
OF the fragrant orange trees:
Dripping roofs are turned to ranches,
Where balmy Southern breeze
Sways the grasses, and the cattle
Browse, and birds songs loud and clear
In the place of roar and rattle
OF the cable cars, L hear.
When my friends are sad or sorry,
When they make it hot for me;
Lffe's not long enough to worry,
Joy and anger do not 'gee.n
1prefer to turn the pages
Back to where they all were glad,
Back to where-lt may be ages
When they dIdn' It make me mad.
If your wife, good sir, be fretting-
And she has good cause no doubt
'Tis your turn to be forgetting
That she ever learned to pout.
Shut your eyes, and for a minute
Seek the land sne made for you
Paradise when she was in it,
And you'll want to stay there. tool
Some day, surely we'll discover
This holds true in higher things.
When our walk on earth is over,
And we learn the use of wings,
Happy we if still the vision
Then to us is not denied
Heaven depends on that condition,
For all time the sunny side!

the National Farmers Alliance there is dis

where every man reads, and where every corner

debate, the National Farmers Alliance can

upon which the Southern organization is all
but sure to be wrecked.

sAWDUsT KILLING SALMON.
A Highly Interesting Explanation of How
the Injury Works.

From the Cathlament (Ore.) Gazette.l
1t has been proved beyond doubt that the
promiscuous dumping of sawdust into the
water is very detrimental to the salmon. Sal
mon, after leaving the ocean to spawn, never
eat anything while in the river. On opening
thousands of them, it is found they have moth
ing in their stomacbs and intestines.
Nature has provided for this abnormal ab-
stinence from food by giving them an extra
amount of tat as a reserve to draw upon which
is consumed while on their way to the spawn
ing grounds. In examining fish that have been
killed by sawdust, it is found that the fine par
ticles of wood that have been swallowed in the
water lodge in the gullet and abdominal cavi-
ties and clog them up, instantly killing the fish
The greater percentage of fat found in
Columbia river fish over those of any other
river is accounted for on the grounds that the
much longer distance the fish have to travel
over those of salmon of other rivers, before
reaching the spawning grounds makes this wise
provision of nature a very necessary requisite
in the life of fish.

Legislation Not the Only Cure.

Philadelphia Press (Rep.)
The ultimate success of the Farmers Alliance
rests not SO much in present political action as
in the thorough education of its followers in
economic and social subjects. Many of the
disadvantages under which the agricultural
classes labor spring more from lack of informa-
tion than from lack of legislation. Their
greatest grievances cannot be cured by political
action. Cheap money and plenty of it will not
bring any larger returns to shabby farming.

ture will not make prosperous class that dis
