The Astor-wilIing Bridal Presents.

The Aston Willing Bridal Presents.
/ Every person has heard of the mill
lionaire wedding which came off in
Philadelphia on Tuesday between a
scion of the house of Astor aud Miss
Willing of Philadelphia. The following
Is a list Of some of the presents.
When Henry Georges system of taking
rents or unearned increment of land
becomes law some of such luxury will
go to pay the taxes which people who
earn all now pay.
No Philadelphia bride ever received
presents as magnificent as those sent to
Miss Willing. Their aggregate value
runs high up in the hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars. The groom's gift was
q tiara of diamonds, possibly unsur-
passed by any in America. His father
gave a double bow knot of diamonds.

brilliant about the size of q nickel. He
also gave diamond necklace and a
crescent of diamonds and sapphires.
some four inches in length. The prin-
cipal gifts of Mrs. Astor were five dia-
mond stars, each as large as silver
half dollar. These jewels were enclosed
in massive box of solid silver. Mrs.
Astor also gave eight silver dishes, each
about three feet in length. Mr.. and
Mrs. Orme Wilson sent a pair of mag
nificant silver candelabra, over yard
high. Mr.. and Mrs. j. Coleman Dray-
toms presents were two silver dishes of
exquisite open-work. Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Morrell, nee Drexel, gave
silver centerpiece about four feet long.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt sent a large
centerpiece of silver. Altogether there
were upward Of three hundred presents.
After the reception, the New York
guests, who came over to 1t on two
special trains, returned home at 4.50
p. m.
Mr.. and Mrs. Astor kept the direction
OF the bridal trip secret, but it is un-
derstood that they will leave to night
TUESDAY in special car for st. Angus
tine. On their return they will make
ashort stay in this city and New York,
and then sail for Europe, where they
will spend the summer.

Msrriace : Hundred Ye.rs H.nee.

At the present time popular pre-
sumption exists that all girls wish to
marry, and fail to do SO only because
they lack an eligible opportunity. This
presumption exists on account Of the OBJ
vious fact that women, being able with
difficulty to support themselves, have in
general greater material interest in
marriage than men have. Surely there
can be few incidents of an unmarried
woman's condition more exasperating
than her knowledge that because this is
the undeniable fact it is vain for her to
expect to be popularly credited with the
voluntary choice of her condition. She
must endure with a smile, however she
may rage within, the coarse jest or in
nuendo to which it would be worse than
vain to reply. Nationalism, by estab-
fishing the economic independence of
E9ssii without reference to their single
or married state, will destroy the pro-
sumption referred to by making mar
risge no more obviously desirable to one
sex than to another.-Edward Bellamy
in Ladies' Home Journal.

There is too much borrowing on

and heavy discounts can be forced
from the helpless borrower who is

Bossell tried two OF three times to find the
clerk, but he was out each time. When he
called the last time the clerk hurried to
Justice Naughtin's Office and swore out a
peace warrant. Hethen reported the mat
ter to Assistant Chief Killourhy.
In tho meantime the policeman In citi-
zen's dress, accompanied by bis wife, aud
armed with q oowhide, appeared on the
scene. They were told that the clerk was
out. Bossell and his wife then walked down
to the street to await his return. Detective
Wetherhorn, who had been waiting for him,
placed him under arrest at once,
and put an end TO the oowhlding. Assistant
Chief Killourhy and the clerk appeared
just after Bossell had been arrested by the
detective. and few minutes later Sergt.
Lingg put in an appearance. Their
services were not needed, however.
In Justice Naughtin's Office Officer Bossell
said that although he was under bond his
wife has o:her relatives who will see that
an apology is made by the offending clerk.
