carriage from quiet wedding TO the
HONEYMOON.
People with large acquaintance cannot
always invite all their friends, of course,
to wedding reception, therefore only ask
them to the church.
These invitations require no answer, but
people being at a distance, who cannot at
tend the wedding, should send their cards
by mail to assure their hosts that the in
vitation has been received
Much ill feeling is apt to be engendered
by the distinction which is inevitably
made in leaving out the friends who feel
that they were entitled to an invitation to
the house. 1t is better TO offend no one on
so important an occasion.
Wedding cards and wedding stationery
should be simple, white without glaze and
with no ornamentation at all.
1t is proper for the bride to have her left
hand bare as she walks to the altar. as il
saves her the trouble OF taking off long
glove.
Child bridesmaids are very pretty and
very much in favor. These charming chill
dren covered with flowers, looking very
grave and solemn. are the sweetest of her
aids for a wedding procession
The signing Of the register in the yestry
is not an American necessity as il is in
England but il is now the fashion to have
a highly illuminated parchment certificate
signed by the newly-married pair, with
two or three witnesses, the bridesmaid,
the best man, the father and mother, and
SO on, being the attesting parties.
The horshoe is favorite emblem for
wedding presents, the shape of the table
for wedding breakfast and for floral
emblems on that day. June and October
are prominently favorite months. May
is a very unlucky month for weddings.
1t is very troublesome to be married in
France. especially If one of the high con-
tracing parties be foreigner. A certifi-
cate of baptism is required, together with
that OF the marriage of the father and
mother. aud written consent Of the
grandfather and grandmother, if either is
alive and the parents dead. The names of
the parties are then put on the door Of

New York a purer, more wholesome
and more comfortable dwelling place
for rich and poor. In all his work,
too, his Judgment was in the main
sound-sOmething which cannot al
ways be said for the Jealous and ener-
getlc. He seldom made mistakes and
when he did make them he never had
any hesitaney in cOnfessing them. He
was a scholar from his youth, and
what is more kept up his scholarship
to the end, in spite of the thousand
distractions of his pastorship and Of a
very steady attention to public affairs.
In spite, too, of the innumerable antag-
onisms into which any man, who tries
to make reason and the will of God
prevail, in a city like this, we feel sure
he made no enemies except among the
criminal classes. He was, in short,
one of the most valuable citizens we
had, and he has been taken away at a
time when his influence was most
sOrely needed,-M Y. EUeaing Post.

COST OF THE HEARST AFFAIR.
Italians in the Uunited States.

1t Is, perhaps, too early to determine
whether the recall of Baron Faya is a
local political move on the part of the
Rudini Ministry intended for home
consumption chiefly, or the act of a
political adventurer who really be-
lleves that Italy could obtain glory
and success in war with the United
States. While the American people
are patiently waiting to see what this
manifestation of cheap bravado means.
they are likely to make little inquiry
into the Italian situation in their own
country.
The census returns showing the num-
Der of Italians in the United States in
1890 have not yet been given to the
public, but the immigration statistics
for the past decade taken in connec-
ton with the number of Italian born
residents in 1880 furnish a fair estimate
There were A ,230 Italians in the Uni
ted States in 1880, and the total num-
Der arriving from 1881 to 1890 inclusive
reached 307,3 $40, which added to the
number already here, makes the ag-
gregate in the ReighborhOod of S52, 900.
That many of these are not desirable
additions to our population goes with
out saying. OF the 3O7, ,31O arriving in
the last decade 2,24O were classed az
professional, 81, 1926 as skilled, 28, ,236 as
agriculturists, 1865 miscellaneous
but unskilled, while 9S, ,45S were with
out any calling that tLey cared to
make known to the immigration Off
cials. 1t is probable that this nearly
100000 of Italians of nameless occupa-
ton include a large proportion of
idiots, paupers, beggars and criminals
who have been allowed to leak through
our ports to prey upon the American
people in various ways.
While gOOdly number of our Iial-
ian immigrants have become natural
lied citizens, much the larger proper.
ton remain foreigners to all intents
and purposes, loyal to and sympathis-
ing with their own government. In
the demonstrations growing out of the
New Orleans lynching affair there has
been little or no denunciation of crimes
of the assasins of Hennesseyi but abun-
dant denunciatiOns of those who visi-
ted upon them summary justice. This
fact has not been lost sight of by the
American public and if Italy is rash
enough to force war because of the
lynching of the Italian brigands the
$4,000 Italians in this country would
be likely to find it a very unpleasant
place of fabode.-PhiLa. Times.

April.

They promised me fower-bed
That should be truly mine,
Out in the garden by the wall
Beneath the ivy vine.
The lockwood bush would have to stay;
The daily rose bush too;
But for the rest they'd let me plant
just as l chose to do.
Though not daffodil was up
The garden smelled of spring,
And in the trees beyond the wall
heard the blackbirds sing.
1 worked there all the afternoon;
The sun shone warm and still;
set it thick with flower seeds
And roots of daffodil.
And all the while dug, 1 planned,
That, when my flowers grew,
I d train them in lovely bower,
And cut window through.
The visitors who drove from town
Would come out there to see;
Perhaps I'd give them each bunch,
And then how pleased they'd be
made my plans-and then for weeks
Forgot my roots and seeds,
So when I came that way again
They all we're choked with weeds.

yet deliberately refuse to pay school
tax, are but little better than thieves
they deserve the scorn of every honest

list of about $500 was allowed, and they
should be published. The names on

latter there are, men who could pay
their tax but will not.

A Delawarean who Made a Great
Fortune.

John Plankington, of Milwaukee,
Wis, who died on Sunday last, and
who made great fortune in the pack
ing business with Philip D. Armour,
was born in New Castle county Del,
March 18th, 1920. He landed in Mil
waukee, September, s, 1874, and at
once opened a small butcher shop. He
had just $3.50 to start with, but such
was his success that his first year's
sales amounted to nearly $4,000. In
l849 he went into partnership with
Frederick Layton, with whom he re-
mained associated until 1860. He con-
tinued in business alone until 1868
when he formed a partnership with
Philip D. Armour, then young man
who was known to be possessed of
sagacity, shrewdness and business
ability. The immense success of the
firm of PlaLkinton & Armour is well
known, and some idea can be gained
from the fact that in in 1880 it did a
business exceeding $12,OOO,OOO.
To John Plankinton, Milwaukee is
indebted for more fine residences than
to any other one man. He had long
been looked upon as the leading citi-
zen of Milwaukee. The Plankinton
House, in which he took especial pride,
he ran for years at loss simply be-
cause he was bound that Milwaukee
should have hotel second to none in
the United States. OF late years, how
ever, the hotel has paid a big dividend
and it is estimated that he eventually
got back all the money that he had put
into it. All through life his career
was marked by desire not alone to
make money for himself but to ad-
vance the interests of Milwaukee. Mr..
PlankintOn never held a public office.
His wealth was estimated at about
100000.
