Maophersop-Bowers.

Married, at Chillicothe, Ohio, Nov
ember the first, Eighteen hundred and
ninety-three, Miss Anna Marguerite,Bow-
ers, to Il. Armstrong Macpherson"
In far away Ohio, the State of noble
men and happy events, the ceremony
took place which united for life two
young people we'll known in this COM
munity.
The bride has dwelt among us for some
months and long enough to make all
who know her cognizant of the many
good qualities of mind and heart of
which she is possessed. She has been
a prominent feature of social life in
Wadsworth and We are glad hat she has
good.
The groom wa brought up in u
midst, is a young man of i~rreproachable
habits and good business qualifications.
The home reception took place at
Music Hall last Wednesday evening and
attested the popularity of the young
couple.
The centre of the room was occupied
by the banquet board and the guests sat
down to a feast fit for a king and did
ample justic to the many good things
provided.
The interludes were charmingly filled
by vocal and instrumental music, the
selections being solos, duets, trios and
quartettes, to suit the tastes and fancies
of all.
1t was a hearty greeting home and the
hours few on apace. There were well
wishes in superabundance and congrat-.
ulations without number, and the Dis
joins in hoping that their future
will be all sunshine, and congratulates
the groom upon his choice Of a life mate.

A Busy Dentist.

DR.. Ward, the well known dentist,
who arrived here last Wednesday from
San Francisco, has been kept 80 busy
that he has hardly had time to breathe
One thing that speaks well for him is
that his work is giving general salts
faction. He extracts teeth so quickly
that the patient suffers little or no pain.
Another thing hat DR.. Ward should be
commended for is that he will not use
cocaine. The Doctor will remain only a
few days longer and those wishing work
done should call on him at the Nevada
House Immediately.

A philosopher says: "There are three
things which a good woman ought to
resemble in one particular, but not in
another. Thus, she ought to be like the
snail, which always keeps in the house,
but she Should not copy its example in
putting all she possesses on her back.
She should resemble the echo, which
never speaks unless spoken to, but she
ought not, like the echo, always try tc
have the last word. Lastly, she ought
to be true and correct as the town clock
but she ought not, like the clock, to
make noise enough to be heard all over
the town."

The Geary

registered Cinnamon. The Geary
law says that all unregistered China
men found in the United States after
May, 1893, shall forthwith be return
ed to the country whence they came,
and therein lies the problem. They
are not disposed to go unless COM
PEELED, and they certainly will not pay
their own fares, and Congress failed
to make an appropriation to paw for
their deportation. The arguments in
the case will be heard by the Supreme
Court on the 10th inst, and it is
hoped that decision will be handed
down within a week from that date.
The treasury statement issued this
week gives a pretty fair idea of the
closeness with which things are fig
ured down in that branch of the gov
ernment. Last December Secretary
Foster. in his annual report, estimated
that there would be on hand at the
close of the current fiscal year an
available surplus of 100000, aud
his estimate was so much doubted
that the House authorized the ways
and means committee to investigate
his figures, the impression of the ma
iority side of the House being that
there would be a considerably deficit
instead of a surplus. Now the end
of the fiscal yea is so near that the
estimate is practically a certainty,
and it shows that the surplus will be
about S2,700,000, just 100000 more
than was estimated last December.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Notes Of Interest Gathered from About

wAsHSeros. D. C., May 9. 1888.

Special Correspondence 10 The Progress:
Washington is itself again. During
the week that President Cleveland
his cabiuet, and the Office seekers
were away the town took on mid
summer dullness, but now that the
big officials are all again at their
desks. and the place-hunters having
got their second wind are making a
fresh assault all along the lines,
things are humming merri.y again
and promise to continue so right along
until the extra session of Congress,
which is certain to meet in Septem-
Der and which may possibly meet be-
fore A long list of presidential post
office appointments were made this
week
Secretary Carlisle found the gold
condition of the treasury much easier
when he returned than it was when
he went away. The 'free gold" now
amounts to something like S3,0O0,OOO,
and there has been a very decided
''let up" in the demand for gold for
export. No man can say with any
certainty whether the sudden cessa-
ton in the demand for gold to be sent
abroad is permanent, or only tempo
rary; but anyway it is very welcome
to the administration, as it has given
it an opportunity to strengthen its
gold reserve and to prepare for future
demands. There are good reasons
for the belief that the administration
does not care to have the financial
situation become too easy before the
meeting of Congress, because it de-
pends upon the unsettled feeling il
1 financial circles to exercise sufficient
influence upon votes in Congress tc
bring about an unconditional repeal
of the Sherman silver law. which II
blames for all the trouble. The sill
yer men have no special love for the
Sherman law, but they say that il
cannot be repealed unless they arr
given satisfactory substitute for it
and that the administration will not
unless a great change occurs, agree
to give them.
Alr. Frederick Dillon, of Halifax
N. s., at present visiting Washington
