From Wheeling paper we have the fol-
lowing:
"Three fashionable church weddings in
twenty-four hours is rather an unusual rec
ord for Wheeling, and they were all most
ENJOYABLE affairs. Three hours after the
high noon wedding at St. Matthews Church,
the harvest of Cupid was again made man
ifest within the same sacred precincts
The leading roles were here assumed by
Mr.. Henry Clay Sincell, one of the leading
merchants of Oakland, Nd, and Miss Mary
Willoughby Kennedy, the winsome daugh-
ter of Judge and Mrs. John w. Kennedy.
At the hour announced for the ceremony
the church was well filled with guests
The bridal party entered to the strains OF
MendelssOhn's wedding march, executed by
Miss Wilde. The ushers were Messrs
George A. House, Clark Hamilton, Charles
Towers and Benz. Sincell, of Oakland Will
Kennedy and T. r. Kennedy. Rev. r. K.
Swope, d. D., performed the ceremony.
There were no bridesmaids. The bride was
attired in coral cloth with a combination of
white silk, with hat and slippers to match,
carrying in her hand bouquet of most ex-
quisite roses. The gentleman attendants
were all arrayed in conventional black.
Following the ceremony an informal recep-
ton was held in the basement ofthe church,
where the happy couple were the recipients
of many warm congratulations. The bril-
dal party was then driven to the residence
of the brides parents on Thirteenth street,
where a wedding repast was served. The
list of presents was exceptionally large, and
varied were the many tokens, embracing a
wide range in the useful and ornamental
Mr.. and Mrs. Sincell left at APO for bril-
dial tour east, after which they will make
their residence in Oakland, where n finely
furnished house awaits"

We do not want the public to con-
found the Blair Institute, for the cure
Of the Liquor, Morphia and Opium
habits, located at this place under the
management and personal direction Of
that eminent physician, Mr.. Matthew
A. Blair, with the numerous so-called
!" Gold Cure institutes which at pres
emit abound throughout the country.
The Blair Institute does not use the
same treatment given by Kelley. It
kills no one, neither does it produce
insanity. We guarantee that our treat
ment is harmless, leaves no bad effects
and is equally efficient, if not superior,
to the Double Chloride Of Gold treat
ment whatever that is) Of Kelley fame.
DR.. Blair is physician Of ripe ex-
perience; he compounds his own medi-
cines at the institute. He knows what
his patients are taking, and has moth
ing in common with the numerous
"quacks " in various Gold Cure estab-
lishments, who daily violate medical
ethics, by drenching patients with nos
trums for the liquor cure, concerning
which they have no knowledge except
the price per bottle.
The Blair Institute guarantees
cure in every case with absolutely
results. For full information

R.moving the Ta.ssls from Corn.

Removing the Tassels from Corn.
Come experiments conducted In 1880 %
the experiment station of Cornell Uni
versity ON the removal OF tasselB from q
part Of the growing corn, yielded very
beneficial results. A gain OF fifty per
cent. was estimated. This remarkable
showing led to further tests ct the Ohio
station at the Ohio State University.
Thirty-two rows Of corn, running over
quite uniform land, were selected upon to
make the trial. On August /, the tassels
were pulled from each alternate row.
It was found that the unmerchantable
corn from the four plots from which the
tasaels had been removed averaged
twenty-six per cent, while the average
from the other four rows was twenty one
per cent. unmerchantable. The calcutta
tions also show that the average yield per
acre is about one bushel less than where
the corn was left undisturbed. It is
thought probable that the tasseIs were
not In this experiment removed early
enough. The theory upon which the ex-
pertinent Is based is that the strength
that would otherwise go to the maturing
Of the tassel and production Of pollen Is
diverted to the use of grains, and from
