On Thursday next. the 10th, william Steele
Holman Of Indiana and his wife, Abigail
Knapp Holman, will celebrate the fitch ami
versary Of their marriage.
30 happy an event is rare in the careers Of
public men in Washington, 30 that when It does
happen it never fails to excite general interest.
But when the person most concerned il Q ma
tiona1 figure like Judge Holman, whose name
and nicknames of "Great Director" and
watch Dog Of the Treasury are household
words all over the land, the occasion becomes
an especially notable event. Judge Holman's
pre-eminence as the greatest "objector''
who ever sat in Congress and his picturesque
and lovable personality in private life have
made for him countless hosts Of friends, who
Will unite everywhere in congratulations on his
approaching anniversary.
As might be expected the coming jubilee will
be characteristic and unostentatfous affair,
observed in the quietest possible way Both
Judge Holman and his wife would much prefer
to celebrate the day at their old ancestral
homestead, "Veraestau," near Aurora, Ind.
nesting among the Ohio river bluffs at the
Jun notion Of the Great Miami whence can be
seen matchless landscapes in three states-In-
diana, Ohio and Kentucky, but the judge does
not feel that he should leave his post Of duty
even to commemorate his golden wedding, and
20 they have arranged to dispense the honors Of
the occasion here In their temporary Washing
ton home. The Holman children and grand
children from Indiana will all be present, and
the intimate friends and connections Of the
family will come to express their felicitations
But otherwise there will be no attempt to ex-
tend the rejoicings beyond the strict family cir
ole, and there will be no outward display.

In no respect can they be properly called DID,

fused to marry them, and not until their re-

their willingness did the minister consent to
tie the nuptial knot.
That was in the good old pioneer days, when

the liability of mistaken selection was not then
what sociologists would now have us believe
There was q minimum of risk, too in this case
for other reasons, since the young couple had
known each other from childhood and had been

man Holman had always lived there in the
