A UNIQUE PRESENT
That Offers a Suggestion to the
Economists of the Country.

New York, March Is. Mr. Fred
erick Gebhard's marriage on We'd
nesday to NJ SIS Lulu Morris, the
fairest of Baltimore's fair d.ugh.
t,rs, has given the world of fashion
something TO talk about for many
months to come. The wed ling
itself WAS notable because Of the
rare beauty of the bride aad the
unusual combination Of pleasing
personality and fame and fortune in
the groom, but the chief interest in
the event cen ,ered about the unique
and altogether up-to.date character
of the wedding presents. Mr.,
Gebhard's selection of solid silver
bath tub, weighing 5000 ounces, as
foil to the princely gifts of jewels
which he had previously bes oSed
upon his bride, was just little
startling, it must be confessed, but
it has made hit and is likely 30 be
adopted by many OF New Aork,s
wealthy young men when the matrl
monal ipcl1a,ion takes possession
of them in the spring, and will
probably retain its fashionable pre-
eminence for a season at least.
For Mr.. Gebhard thu silver bath
tub is the triumph Of an idea. de
had confided to his friends long be
fore the time came TO buy wedding
presents that he had surprise 10
store for them, and it is seen no"
that he was under the influence OF
the silver goddess as long ago a

and certainly possesses the charm of
originality. Its successful evolu-
ton will stand as a monument TO
the fame of Mr.. Gebhard and
beacon of hope to the silver pro
ducing states of the west, 1t opens
up new field for silver and should
elicit for its originator a set of
resolutions from the Ii to clubs.
A local philanthropist, who has
canvassed this phase of the question,
makes these interesting deductions

and unlimited market for silver is

will receive, of course, the usual
homage paid to originality--a host

pure silver will henceforward feel
that she has a genuine grievance

annual output of the American
mines in normal activity will be
none too much. That output was
only about 60 600, 600 ounces, and
ii il easy to reckon how many $1,000

out of that yearly yield.
"To fit 1000 fashionable bride:

''Mr. Gebhard's new departure
will not necessarily lead to putting
this country, or even its higher

The fad, as a serious matter o

The terrible accident came upon the boiler

one OF them, q Pole, escaped uniniured.
The others were buried beneath the mass
of debris, and some of the bodies were
not recovered for two hours.
The boiler on the western end of the
house is supposed to have been the first to
explode, and the adjoining boilers went
up in quick succession. The explosions re-
sem bled the roar of heavy artillery. Only
nine of thirty-six boilers escaped destruc-
ton. and these were so damaged that they
were useless. Many of the boilers were
torn apart near the center by ihe terrible
force and two sections would then take
different directions.
One half of boiler was hurled a full
quarter OF a mile from where it had for
merly stood. Another, that took similar
direction, crashed through the side of the
breaker and lodged against the scraper

ncKinfey Goes On in His March of
Triumph.

DETROIT, Oct. 11.-At Adrian. Mich,
Governor Mckinley was met by General
Alger, Governor Rich and others, who es-
corted him to Detroit. A stop of three
hours was made at Jackson in order to en-
able the Governor to address an immense
crowd gathered at the fair grounds.
He referred feeliDgly to the fact that
jackson was the birthplace of the Repub-
lican party, which had done more for the
freedom of mankind and secured more
opportunities for the people than any
other political party whose history had
been written anywhere in the world. A
brief stop was made at Ann Arbor, where
the students at the university and great
number of others gave Governor Mckinley
a rather boisterous greeting.
AT Detroit there was big crowd at the
depot to cheer and follow him in an organ
lied procession to the residence of General
Alger, where he will spend the night.
The Auditorium tonight was literally
packed, and Governor Mckinley found
his audience to be one OF the most respon-
sive be has ever addressed.
A special train will take the Governor
in the morning to Grand Rapids.
