heavy curtain Is draped away from the

Is covered with grasses, which has very

ways by the use of corn and grain alone.

MARkS-CROXioRD.
| More than half a century has elapsed
| since the little white church on the hill
was erected and consecrated to the wor-
| ship of God. 1t has witnessed many oc-
casions, solemn, grave, interesting and
thrilling revivals, baptisms, funerals and
social festivities, but for the first time Ia
its history-on Wednesday, the goth inst
"a wedding service was enacted within
its walls. The couple were Or. X. H.
Croxford young physician Of Orland, Of
excellent promise, and Miss Flora ID.
Marks, the popular organist Of the Metho-
dist church and we'll known teacher.
At 10 a. m. large assembly of invited
friends hsd gathered at the church to wit
ness the ceremony and tender congratula-
tons. Miss Louise Hopkins of Bucks
port, rendered several fine selections
while the audience was waiting the arrival
of the mlptial party. At 1890 DR.. Chase,
principal of the East Maine Conference
seminary of Bucksport, appeared, follow
ed by eight little girls dressed In white
each bearing a beautiful bouquet of flow
ers. Then followed DIR. Croxford and his
best man. DR.. Hagerthy of Hancock, and
the bride and Miss Blanche Moody Of
Liberty. acting as bridesmaid.
Amid the strains of beautiful wedding
march they wendell their way to the altar,
and assumed appropriate positions, the
little girls standing in the rear OF DR..
Chase, forming most novel and beauti-
full feature Of the occasion. They stood
there not only as the embodiment and
symbol of innocence and purity, bot a.
living testimonies of the profound love
and regard the bride has always had for
children.
The rear of the pulpit was spanned by
an arch, wild flowers and vines. in front
of which was profusion of pptt,d
plants, all making beautiful and ~
propriate back ground 10 the scene. y
Chase performed the ceremony IN til
rituslistic form Of the church, after whiC.
the happy couple with invited guests rc
paired TO the home of the bride and par
took of lunch. Amid shower of con
gratulations and "A rainfall Of rice and old
shoes. they entered their coach and started
on their bridal tour. They will spend

ADVERTISING PORTLAND.
Letter to General Manager Tucker From
Secretary Rich.


1t is generally known throughout the
country that the Portland Merchants
Exchange, so long located in the princi-
pal office of the Western Union Telegraph
company, has become an important
bureau of information, especially for
many tourists passing through Portland
during the summer season, and until
within year or two has been able to
furnish tourists information of various
excursions made up by the different
transportation lines running along the
coast and through the state to the Prov
inces.
These folders of information are not
furnished as formerly, but through a
company to hotels only, and in order to
supply the demand needed at the ex-
change room the secretary of the Board
of Trade has addressed communications
similar to the following to all the rail
road companies coming into this state:
AUGUST 1, 1898.
Poysoa, Tucker. Esq, r. p. and Gen. Manager
N. C. Il. r. Co.:
Dear Sir:-For several years past Portland
Board of Trade has made its Exchange Room
a Bureau of Information. for the thousands of
tourists from all over the country that annually
pass through this city to the various resorts in
this and adjoining states and to the Canadian
Provinces. and later. the State Board of Trade
has established the head quarters of the State
Bureau of Information at the same place.
During the summer season there is constant
inquiry for railroad folders and time tables which
have been furnished our files till the distribu-
ton of these time tables fell into the hands of a
private corporation known as the Railway,
Hotel and Steamship Advertising Company
which, for some reasons of its own, decline to
supply the folders anywhere except in the
hotels.
Now as you are aware, not less than forty to
fifty thousand people come into this state annu-
ally who do not go to hotels, but to camps.
cottages and farm houses, many of whom want
the information OF routes, time tables. etc.. and
it seems as though the railroad and steamship
companies should have a voice in the matter Of
placing their folders through the corporation
referred to, but if not may ask you in behalf
of the citizens of Portland and of the state, to
aid in furnishing information to headquarters
that have cost the people of Maine much time
and money to establish in the interest of the
transportation lines as much as any other,
therefore. if you will furnish your time tables
and folders to our Exchange Room regularly,
you will greatly facilitate our efforts in the
interest of your line.
Very respectfully,
NJ N. RICH, Secretary.

PEARY'S EXPEDITION.
Some Set Backs That Will Not Affect the
Enterprise.

A dispatch to the Associated Press in
yesterdays papers said that it was
feared that Peary's expedition would
prove failure. A special despatch says:
1.-THE Falcon, which is in command of
Capt Henry Bartlett, one of the best
known and most experienced sealing
captains, after leaving ST. Johns met
with succession of heavy gales and
seas, which tried her severely. The
donkeys which Peary had on board and
from which he expected great help in
hauling provisions and gear when the
Arctic regions were reached all persisted
from exposure and had to be thrown
into the sea.
Efforts were then made at the various
settlements to purchase teams of dogs to
take the place of the donkeys, but not
withstanding extravagant prices were
offered not dog was to be had. The
Falcon has been forced to go further
north in the hope of securing animals.
''The delay occasioned by thus going
out of their course is likely to jeopardize
the success of the expedition.
All the members of the party are well,
but they are somewhat depressed in
spirits owing to the i'll luck which has
attended them. Lieut.. Peary, however,
is determined to make a success of the
voyage, and feels confident of getting
sufficient dogs and other help from the
Esquimaux as he gets farther to the
northward. The ship received some
damage during the storms, but nothing
of very serious nature.

MR.. cURRIE's PIANO.
1T Fell Twenty Feet and Suffered Serious
Internal Injuries.

A curious accident happened Monday,
at the residence of Mr.. John A. Currie,
No. SO Beckett street Workmen were
engaged in moving Mr.. Currie's piano
from one of the rooms on the second
floor through the windows to the ground
below. A tackle and fall were used, and
the piano was gotten out of the window
ali right. Then, as it hung about 20 feet
above the ground, something gave way.
and the piano, with a musical crash,
dashed down on to Mr.. Currie's front
yard fence. One of the workmen was
knocked over, the fence was smashed to
splinters, and the piano, besides severe
outward bruises, is supposed to have
suffered serious internal injuries.
