A leading politician" Of the city of
Cologne says of the political situation in
Germany that whatever the fate of the
military BILL war involving Germany is
inevitable. He favors the passage of the
bill because, at present, France is
stronger than Germany. France, he says,
has reached the limit of her possible
military force, hence, should Germany in
crease her army, France would be very
backward about opening hostilities.
Russia would, however, increase her
army, and the blow upon Germany would
come from the northeast, Failure to pass
the bill would invite a blow from the
south, therefore, Germany's position is
simply one of saying whether she will
take the blow above or below the belt. ,

If there had been doubt that Willie
Wilde, Mrs. Frank Leslie's husband is
cad, it would have been dispelled by a
recent cable story from London. The
Marquis de Louville, once persistent
sutton for Mrs. Leslies hand, met Wilde
in Covent Garden and ''crowed OVER the
fact that Wilde had been sued for a
divorce, laughed at the lady Stiffness in
marrying him and otherwise made him
self disagreeable. And Willie, instead of
thrashing him for his impertinence. sat
calmly through it all But the marquis
was not to escape punishment for having
spoken lightly of a woman infinitely the
superior of both himself and her worth
less husband. In getting into his cab he
slipped and fell, breaking his nose-just
the thing Wilde should have done without
waiting for fortune TO do it for him.

TON HoGE.-President Cleveland yes
terday advised Senator Hunton that
he was under the necessity of invcsti-
eating certain charges which have

not fit person to be intrusted with the

dents proposed action. They will put

Alexander Norris and Mr.. Gaddis were

niece of the bride, and Master Saunders,
cousin of the groom, were lovely pages

A large number of guests were pre-
sent from Washington city, Maryland,
Danville and Loudoun county. The
ceremony was impressively performed
by Rev. J. ]. Norwood, after the per-
formance of the wedding march by Miss
Mary Speiden, the brides cousin. Thus
in the presence Of host of admiring

Which else with all its pains and grief and
death
We're utter darkness-one the sun of dawn,
That brightens through The mothers tender
eyes
And warns the child's awakening world, and
The later rising sun of sponsai love;
Which from her household orbit draws the
child
To move in ether spheres.
The church was beautifully dressed
with flowers the chancel rail banked
with ever-greens, chrysanthemums of
every hue the pillars roped also with
flowers; evergreens decorated the win
dows and doors and potted plants
were on either side of the
church, whilst the window spaces
were filed with beautiful flowers
and garlauds swung gracefully from the
chandelier. In the rear of the chancel
was a dais completely covered with ex-
ouisite roses, geraniums. etc, lighted
by numerous candles. The whole scene
was one of unusual brilliancy long to
be remembered, and the occasion of
heartfelt prayer of the many friends of
the happy couple. ''Many daughters
have acted virtuously, but thou excel
lest all. May He who dwelleth on
high cause His light radiantly to shine
on thy head may JOY and gladness
meet the voice of the bridegroom, and
the voice of the bride. May there be
peace within thine walls for row and

one of the chief measures of its nation

contained in reported interview with

cular, in which he charges the

ported correctly, as it certainly reflects
no credit upon candidate for the high
Office of Governor of Virginia. And
then, too, Colonel O'Ferrall is the fair
" nominated candidate of his party,
and his party should, therefore, support
him unanimously, as no member OF 1t

against it in the Noyes-Rockwell cases
in the L. s. House of Representative.
