People are not always ashamed of the
source of their wealth Witness the case
recently reported from Pennsylvania.
Among those who rose from poverty to
affiuence by the discovery of coal oil upon
their farms was a family named McCune,
living Just outside of Pittsburg When
the husband died the wife expended more
than $1O,O 900 in q burial plot and its decora-

Rushville is village of less than 300 in

and Postmaster Watson, who is now
seventy live years old, "makes" twenty
four mail trains daily, carrying the sacks
on his back nearly half mile. In his
thirty-eight years service he has not lost a
single letter. Once during the war bush
whackers broke into the office and robbed
it of the supply of stamps, and at another
time gnerrillas attempted his life. Mr..
Watson is of Kentucky birth, rs is also his

of whom are living. April Is last, ten days
before their birthday, Mr. Watson's twin

son of Queen Victoria, and the bride of the
occasion is her granddaughter, but though
the brides father is prince and her mother
princess, they have lived all their married
life in England, their residence being Cum
berland Lodge, and the bride has passed
most of her life at Windsor castle, one of
the residences of her royal grandmother.
When Frederick, Duke of Augusten-
burg, gave up his claims to the long dis
puted Schleswig Holstein, and that princi-
pality was absorbed by Prussia, his son,
Prince Christian, went to England, and on
July 5, 1885, was married to the Princess
Helena, third daughter of Queen Victoria.
Parliament did the handsome thing, voting
the young couple an outfit of 100000 and
an annuity of $4,000. Their fourth child,
Louise, born Aug. IL, 1872 was the bride
on the recent occasion, and the groom was
Prince Aribert, fourth son of the reigning
Duke of Anhalt which is a principality al
lowed to maintain it's ancient independ-
ence, although it is nearly surrounded by
Prussian territory.
Prince Aribert was born in 1864, and in
consideration of the fact that his father
aided the Germans with all his forces and
was personally active in several of the bat
ties of the Franco Prussian war of 1870,
Germany mas guaranteed succession ana
family rights in Anhalt. Present at the
wedding were the parents of both parties,
the royal family Of England, the German
emperor and empress and attendant noble
men and ladies, and gorgeous array of
titled gentlemen and ladies of both ma
tions The bride wore the same Honiton
point lace worn by her mother at her mar
riage and made over for that occasion from
the dress designed by Prince Albert for
Queen Victoria, and the merest outline
sketch of the dresses of the six bridesmaids
and other ladies fills many columns of Eng
lish papers. The newly married pair pro-
ceeded directly to Berlin, where they will
reside.
