| whirI, perforated by dagger with a
diamond on the handles, and tied with a
broad white string.
Her shoes were smaller than the
bridegroom's, and were a kind not
| usually worn, made OF what appeared to
be white leather.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
DR.. Stlyers, who had on suit of clothes
consisting of coat. pants and vest, which
was almost Identical with the suit OF the
bridegroom, and probably almost as
expensive. In fact, the whole crowd
was well-dressed one. The bride and
bridegroom took a prominent part
throughout all the exercises, and the
ceremony went off to the evident ap-
probation of the audience.
A reception was held at Mr.. Stoker's
house after the ceremony to give an
opportunity to the happy couple to
show Off their numerous and valuable
presents, in which they seemed to take
quite an interest. There were five silver
pitchers, and 1t is estimated that there
were ten casters. There were lots of
other silver dishes which were very
ornamental. The presents were en-
tirely for household use, and there was
conspicuous lack of garden utensils
and tools for the stable. We failed,
too, to notice any articles which could
be utilized in Mr.. Warrlngford's soap
factory. After the reception the welded
couple TOOK the 10 p. III. train for New
York. They both wore trousseaus
made of entirely different kind of cloth
from the trousseaus worn at the we'd
ding.
We wish Mr.. and Mrs. Warringford
many joyful returns of the happy coca
sion.

Your fathers Eden ba:k again
You must correct our great mistake
Our foolish bluhder with the snake:
The world has wandered from the light;
Coin and fix the old thing right
Said Seth to Enos. his first-born,
My boy, your life is in its morn:
You've scarcely passed from boyhood's stage,
You're but four hundred years of age.
I've struggled on through hopes ana fears,
And lived above five hundred years,
And now l feel that there can be
But few centuries more for me.
I've tried my prettiest since my birth
To steer and regulate the earth;
But all of Natures plan L fear
Is pretty badly out of gear:
So, while travel toward the night
Go in and fix the old thing right"
Said Enos unto Cainan, Lad.
ear the world is growing bad:
But when l see before me spread
Your large development of head,
And know you deem all wisdom shut
And focused in your occiput,
feel that here is one at last
Who should redeem the wretched past;
And so say. take up the fight;
Go In and fix the old thing right"
Said Cainan to MahalaIel:
THE enviouS wears upon me steal
And now / feel as old and dried
AS Father Enos when he died
Though possessed. as father said,
A large development of head
The world would 'haw when said gee
And gee when | s hid 'haw,' An, me!
I've tried for these nine hundred years
70 drive this balky yoke of steers.
And now pass the goad to YOU
To do the best that you can do:
And when old Cainan fades from sight,
Go in and fix the old thing right
Mahalalel to Jared said,
''My sou, tbs time that were dead.
Aud in this view of mine, guess,
You, too, have come to acQuesce
The world has reached a sorry plight
Go i'll and fix the old thing right,
SO Jared when his life was done.
The same to Enoch talked, his son,
And Enoch like faithful IA.
The same TO young MethuselaL.
Who near thousand-year of strife
Mourned over the brevity of life.
And said TO Lamech. Life is short.
And very little have wrought,
Though might make the world sublime
And perfect If had the time
But iii my life's contracted spah
have but merely just began;
No earthly power my life can save.

The Passenger Department of the
New York Central has just issued a
series of five beautiful etchings, which
artlstlcally outrank anything of the
kind ever issued by railroad company,

best for his friends, and is nailed at the

the chamber of commerce and martini g
association, who urge him to exert his
influence against bill damaging to the
commercial interests of the city they
represent.
He arrives at his committee room in
time to take part in the deliberations of
a subcommittee intrusted with bill of
great Importance. The meeting lasts
until high noon, when the speaker calls
the house to order. The legislative mill
begins to turn out Its grist. To vote in

and understand thoroughly the subject
under discussion. But he finds it diff

an hour or more before the secretary

wait their turn before they can address
him. Even in the department the con-
gresham is not relieved from importu-
mites. He meets others who are there
upon similar business and who urge him
to give whatever aid he can.

to favor this measure, or oppose that. A
friend desires him to press upon the

Another wants him to see the commit

THE NEW REPORTERS STYLE

The managing editor of the Broome-
vile Times sent the new reporter to
write up the Stoker-Wa rringford we'd
ding. He was especially instructed to
''spread himself" on the dresses and
the presents. So the new reporter
rushed in, where a sagacious angel
would fear to tread. and this is his
report:
A big wedding came off last night at
the First church, which was in every
respect most successful and enjoyable
affair.
The company came together promptly
at 1880 p. m. sharp, according to the
schedule time as advertised in the daily
papers. The curtain, as it were, went
up promptly, and the play went on
smoothly way up to the crisis of the
tragedy.
The bride and her beau, Miss Eulalia
StOker, daughter of john Stoker, the
wealthy junk man. and Hiram Warning
ford, (son of Evastus Warringtord, pro-
prietor of Warringford's soap, were

WAITE'S EXTRA SESSION
Will Be Convened Next Wednes
day.

DENVER, Jan. Gov. Waite's extra
session of the legislature will be con-
vened next Wednesday, and may end
with an Immediate adjournment, owing
to the fact that strong efforts are being
made by the governor and his friends to
have it last at least thirty days. A
motion to adjourn will be introduced in
both branches. 1t will pass almost
unanimously IN the senate, but may
stick in the lower house. The states
financial condition will not allow of the
expense of nearly 100000 which the
session will cause. The state has now
overdrawn the appropriation by over
$4,000. and all available funds were APP
proprlated by the general assembly at
its regular session for the two years
which it controlled, and no matter how
many bills are passed for canals, roads,
reservoirs, or other improvements for
the relief of the unemployed. there will
be no money to spend.

and both appeared to be intelligent.
The bridegroom hada plain trousseau.
consisting of coat, pants and vest. sur
mounted by white collar. which made
him look very presentable. His clothes
were good fit and looked as if they
might be durable. He was dressed in a
very pretty and becoming manner, and
his coat set very neatly around his
neck. He wore shoes upon his feet
which were laced and tied in a neat
knot. He handled them gracefully
Throughout the entire evening.
The brides trousSeau consisted of a
good warm dress, made of white cloth,
with some kind of trimmings made of
another kind of white cloth. Her trous-
seau was more expensive than the BRIDE
groom's rousseau, though we doubt if
1t was as durable. The top part of her
dress was made of different kind of
cloth from the bottom part, though both
parts looked equally durable. There
was fluffy stuff on the shoulders, and
bows, and things of similar nature, I'D

WASHINGTON, Jan. Avery few nave
| an idea of The daily work of a congress
man. If he attends to his duty he may
work eighteen hours a day, anu still
have work unfinished If member of
a leading committee and attending its
sessions regularly, and the sessions of
the subcommittee to which he IS as
signed, and performs the task allotted
to him there he will do we'll aside from
any other work. But he must also at
tend the sessions of the house and be in
readiness to sustain or oppose bills that
affect his constituents.
Next in Importance is his mail. A
good congressman always answers his
letters promptly. Ii an old member of
the house, he receives from forty to
seventy-five letters day. One letter
In hundred may contain postage
stamp. He pays the postage for answers
to the remainder out of his own pocket.
If he is a member of the Grand Army
many Of the requests will be to look up
claims for pensions and use his influence
in forwarding settlements. If he is a
Democrat dozen of the letters will be
applications for office directly or midi
rectly Some may be from mutual friends
and others Endorsed by persons of in
fiuence. II he visits the departments
and attends personally to all these re-
quests, this alone will take up his entire
time. Some are applications made by
constituents. but the majority come
from persons who have no such claim
upon the attention of the representative.
Then there are letters making applica-
tons for public documents, all Of which
require more or less attention.
Aside from this work, the congress
man is personally importuned in every
corridor, and at every turn in the cap
itol. II he desires to go from the house
to his committee room, he may be an
hour in reaching it, and by the time he
gets there, unless he is man of strong
mind, he forgets the object for which he
started.
If he attends strictly to his duty, in
vestigating bills, drawing up reports
legislation of the house, he will not
have time to keep abreast with the news
Of the day, or attend to any social obli-
cations. He will do we'll to find time to
eat and sleep. To illustrate this it is
only necessary to detail one day in the
life of congressman.
Take day in the week ending Dec.
16, 1895. The congressman lives at a
hotel near the capitol. Before O'clock
in the morning cards are sent to him.
One is from a young lady bringing a
letter from a gentleman residing a
thousand miles from the congressman's
district, asking him to secure place
for her in one of the departments.
Another is from a veteran member of
| the q. A. r. who thinks he has been
illegally discharged from government
| employment. A third is from some
schoolmate who desires personal in
PRODUCTION to the president. Disposlng
of these visitors as best he can, the con-
gresham goes to the capitol, ordering
his breakfast at the house restaurant
! while on his way to his committee
| room.

DURKEE's MILL.

The world, they say, is heaped with wealt
lis vaults are stored with treasure,
Enough to purchase bread for all.
And fill the world with pleasure.
And food enough is in the land
All hungry mouths to fill.
But all we eat and wear must come
Through Du1kees cotton mill,
And great fear settled Oh the town
When Durkee's cotton mill shut down.
There is world that's filed with Joy
And strewn with blooming flowers,
But outside Durkee's cotton mill
No world for us and ours.
When the great wheel OF Durkee's mill
Paused and no longer whirled
1t seemed the great God, with His hand,
Had stopped the rolling world;
For all the world we hope to fill
Is bound i'll Durkee's cotton mill.
From dawn to dusk in Durkee's mill
We toll and never shirk,
No time to think. no time to feel,
And only time to work.
And many web of cotton cloth
That mill has woven. no doubt;
And many mans and wo,nan's life
That mill has raveled out;
But still great fear smote the town
When Durkees cotton mill shut down.
There's bitter thoughts for Durkee's mill,
Now little Bob is dead;
For had l work in Durkee's mill
might have bought him bread.
When go up to heaven" he said.
And find God there, you know,
will be bold, and ask him then,
Because l love you So
I'll ask the great God, so l will,
10 start the work in Durkees mill.
