was performed under an arch of evergreen.
Miss Alice Dav of Ludlow, sister of the
groom, was bridesmaid and Henry Goddard
of Ludlow was best man. The brides dress
was of old-blue trimmed with silk and lace,
the bridesmaids was brown trimmed with
deep wine velvet. After the ceremony the
newly-married couple received the congratu-
lations of the many friends present, after
which refreshments We're served. Mr.. and
Mrs. Day are supposed to be enjoying trip
through the White Mountains at the present
time, though where or when they took a
train their friends do not know. On their
return they will occupy the upper tenement
of the house formerly occupied by John Il.
Moore, They were the recipients of many
beautiful presents, including silver service
from the Vermont Farm Machine Co., where
Mr.. Day holds a responsible position, and an
onyx clock from his felow-employes in the
office.
Later, and as it might be termed, post
nuptial intelligence indicates that Mr.. and
Mrs. Day had rather a tempestuous launch
ing of the bark matrimonial. 1t appears that
the groom, suspecting trouble, had planned
to drive out of town instead of leaving by
train and only drove to the station to keep
his design hidden to the last and as the train
moved out his driver whipped up the horses
and off they went. The trick would have
worked had not his tormentors stationed
guards at every road leading from the village,
and the pursuing party though divided were
successful, overlook bride and groom in
Walpole and driving in ahead, blocked the
road and held up bride and groom until de-
feat was fully acknowledged and rice cour-
tesies rendered. The other branch of the
hostile forces went on to Keene and had a
jolly good time. 1t will! argue the future
good conduct of the husband if it can be
proved that Frank kept his temper under
the ircumstances.-ED.

Death Trap.

Ford old theatre, the building in
which Abraham Lincoln was assasslnat-
ed, and used by the government for many
years as part of the Office of the surgeon
general of the army, collapsed Friday
morning shortly after 9 80 o'clock with
a terrible result 10 loss of life and injury.
An excavation for an electric light plant
was being made 10 the cellar of the struc-
ture, three story affair, and according
to the best information obtainable the
workmen at morning had dug beneath
the foundation supports in the front of
the building, weakening them to such an
ex lent that the wall gave away before
they could be lacked. Fortunately only
the forward half of the floors gave way.
The outer ends of the floors and the rear
part of the structure remained intact.

LOGS HAVE COME.

First of the Connecticut River Drive Went
Over the Falls Sunday.
The advance guard of logmen arrived last
Thursday and doomed the river above the
falls. A few logs came down Friday and
Saturday, and on Sunday they were sluced
over the dan. and run the falls. The drive
this year contains about 100000 feet,
by far the largest they have had for years,
and as large as any drive ever run on this
river They have not been bothered with
low water this year, and have been making
good times there being few bad jams.
If the present height of water continues the
logs win all be over the dam by July 4. Part
of the logs which are coming over this year
are from last years drive which were left up
north because of low water. The Fall MouIl-
tain drive will be held back till all the Con-
pecticut river logs are past, and will not be
started for several weeks.

That the President should have a suitable
Office for the transaction of business. apart
from his residence. or that the White House
should be so enlarged as to provide ample space
for the accommodation OF the public business
as well as a proper residence for the President,
has long been an admitted fact. The need for
some change now gives rise to proposal to
make Use Of rooms in one of the department
buildings as an executive Office. This may
answer as a means OF temporary relief. but the
dignity of the Office and the convenience in the
transaction OF business. requires. as a perma-
nent measure. the erection either of suitable
executive building or the enlargement of the
present White House. Undoubtedly the head
OF any OF the departments would be glad to
give the President shelter. but it hardly seems
IN keeping with the high character Of the Office
that the President should have to take advan-
Iage of such hospitality for any length OF time.

II the Duke OF Veragua had any feeling that
he owns this country through a title derived
by right of discovery and transmitted by inher-
itance from his venturesome Genoese ancestor
that feeling must have been strengthened today
when he explored the District which bears his
family name. The District of Columbia is the
most conspicuous geographic monument to the
memory of the great discoverer. To have
named the continent after him might have
been a greater honor. but since the early geog-
rsphers neglected this opportunity to give
recognition the next best thing was to give his
name to the district that comprised the CAPT
tai city of the great nation whose wonderful
development has been the most remarkable
sequel of the discovery. And this is an honor,
too. that will grow more and more conspicu-
Gus as the republic advances in population and
power and the capital city grows in beauty and
wealth until 1t takes rank as the most attract
i've city in the world.

Most people long ago gave up the effort to
understand all the perple1ing complications
that seem to attend the execution of the gar
bage contract. Those who have tried to follow
the history of the attempts to secure an adequate
service in the season when the demand is great
est have only been mystiied. Commissioner
Parker. however, has brought matters back to
the starting point by notifying the contractor
that business principles are to be applied, that
plain and strong contract will be drawn up
and that the garbage must be removed accord
ing to its terms, or the contractor must suffer
for it. 1t is not hard to understand that, and
If the Commissioner sticks to his purpose,
there will be little difficulty during the coming
summer in properly placing the blame for any
deficiencies in the service.

There Is no ambiguity in the Presidents
financial statement. and the causes which
brought about the nOn-cOmmittal character of
s>--retary CarlISles statement have come to be
Ierstood The administration will redeem
the treasury notes only in gold, will make use
Of the gold reserve in the present emergency,
and gives no intinlation Of any intent to issue
bonds to increase the gold supply. II the ex-
hsu-tion Of the geld reserve were at hand the
administration would doubtless again consider
the matter of bond issue. but the President
evidently does not think that the reserve will be
exhausted. He is a sound-money man from top
10 toe. and the people will respond heartily to
his appeal for confidence in his purpose to
maintain infiexibly the public credit and for
patriotic cooperation in averting the threat
ened financial dangers. The correction of un-
wise legislation in respect to silver is that task
Of the present administration in respect to
which there is the greatest public confidence
of the adoption and enforcement of wise,
firm, and. as far as possible. effective policy.

1t is claimed by those who believe that the
old liquor licenses are not repealed by the new
hauor law thas this effect would be retroactive.
The courts have decided that the new
law is retroactive to the extent of viping out
all regulations aud penalties connected with
the licenses. and of rendering unpunishable
acts in violation Of the old law which were pun
ishable when committed. This latter effect
Is more distinctly retroactive than the
mere withdrawal of the right or privilege
of selling liquor, which does not punish
as unlawful some past act which was lawful
when committed, but simply declares that for
the future an act shall be illegal which in the
past was authorized. 1t coul1 hardly
have been the intention of Congress to
deprive the municipality of all power
to punish those selling under the old
licenses for violations of the law against
SUNDAY sales and sales to minors. and to leave
the right to sell under these licenses unim-
paired Either all Of the old law is good until
November first or none Of it is good. The
difficulty in the way of treating the
Bush case as a test case is that there
are no other cases made up to be tested and de-
termined by it. IL every one OF those
who are selling under the old licenses had
been taken into court then the cases
against them might be permitted to turn
upon the result in the Bush case.
But as matters now stand a final decision in the
Bush case favorable TO the District, if DELAYED
as il readily can be delayed until November
first, will not have prevented any other liquor
dealer from selling under the old licenses.
and will not punish such sales. or collect the
new license in the shape of a fine. and will NOT
render these dealers amenable in the interim
to the regulations against Sunday sales and
sales TO minors.

As the exchange of ratifcations of the Rms
sian extraditlcn treaty has now taken place the
American people viii perhaps soon learn what
they have ratified \ heated discussion of this
treaty has been conducted IN the newspapers
without definite knowleIge OF its provisions
The secrecy which has been preserved in re-
spect TO the treaty has placed the American
reop!e IN the attitude OF cOnditionally protest.
Ing against the doing OF some thing which it has
been alleged they were about TO do. but con-
corning which they have been as absolutely
ignorant as people Of the most despotic gov

Gained that this agreement between the car
and the people of the United States treats regi-
eide as a nOn-political offense and makes it
extraditable- Ii is further claimed that
this provision extends not merely TO reci-
eide. but to attempts upon the life of the
car and to accessories 10 such ofense includ-
ing. under the Russian law the mere failure to
give information concerning conspiracies in
volylng the cars life. The regicide provision
appears In a great many extradition treaties
between monsrehs. But Italy and Switzerland
have refused to permit this provision 20 appear
In e1traiItion treaties with Russia and one at
tempting the life Of the car would be safe also
IN England Switzerland refused this pro-
vision TO France and in doing gave a state
ment Of reasons which would seem to apply in
the case Of the United States. The constitu-
ent forms Of the state were not identical in the
two countries. Republican Switzerland was in
this respect IN a position absolutely different
from that of monarchical states and
there could be no question in this mat
Ter Of any reciprocity between Switzer-
land and France seeing that the former
would never ask q like reservation in favor Of
the members Of Its government" Switzerland
therefore reserved the right OF examining INTO
the Circumstances of an attempt upon the life
OF ruler and Of deciding after such investiga-
uon whether the ofense was political one and
therefore not extrsditable or one which In
VOWED an offense against the person which
rendered the surrender of the criminal proper
While the position taken by Switzerland is
doubtless the logical one and probably the most
reasonable one for every republic to assume
yet there would be no great shock to American
sentiment in the surrender Of an actual regi-
