A BRILLIANT OCCASION.
MIR. AND MRS. JAMES A. GRAY'S
SILVER WEDDING.
Two Hundred and Fifty Invited
Guesfs-Decorations Music, Pres
ents, Menu. Souvenirs, Etc.

A perfect success!
A felicitous event.
A magnificent reception
And all that these expressions con-
vey are needful to even limited con-
ception of the brilliant celebration of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. A. Gray's silver
wedding, at their beautiful home on
Cherry street, last Friday, when
about two hundred and fifty invited
guests assembled to do honor to the
occasion and to extend their hearty
congratulations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray received their
friends in the north parlor, which,
together with the other rooms, was
tastefully decorated with ferns
and white roses. Upon the arch
spanning the alcove was inscribed in
silver figures the dates. "69 81. ~
representing the twenty-five years Of
welded life. Suspended over the en-
trance to the dining room were the
letters G and B, in silver and artisti-
cally interviewer into monogram,
suggestive of the happy union of the
names of Gray and Bowman.
In the South parlor was displayed
the numerous and beautiful solid sill
yer presents, the beauty, variety and
magnificence of which our limited
space will not permit US to describe.
The menu was elegant, as may be
readily imagined by all who are ac-
quainted with the hostess proverbial
hospitality.
Each guest was presented with a
solid silver souvenir of the delightful
occasion and upon each piece was en-
graved the date, ''Sept. 21st. 1894"
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray were assisted in
receiving by Mr.. and Mrs. e. E. Gray,
Col. and Mrs. A. b. Gorrell. Mr.. and
Mrs. T. A. Wilson, Mr.. and Mrs. w.

ton, DR.. r. F. Gray, T. Barber, Miss
Laura Lemly and Mr.. Emory s. Gray.
During the evening sweet music was
discoureed, to the great pleasure of
the guests, by the famous Salem Or
cheStra.'
To the showers of congratulations
bestowed upon Mr.. and Mrs. Gray,
THE SENTINEL wonld add with sim
cerity the wish that they may cele-
brate their golden wedding with as
happy surroundings as characterized
their twenty-fifth anniversary.

Chances Are All n Favor of Baltimore
Securing the Prize.
The national league baseball season
ends on September 30th, and 1T looks
as though the clubs will then stand
just as they do today, though St.
Louis and Cincinnati may exchange
places, as the former Is now playing
winning ball, having beaten the Bos-
tons three straights.
1t is a certainty that Baltimore and
New York will occupy the two high
est places when the season closes, and
then play series of seven games to
ascertain which shall hold the Tenn
pie cup for the next twelve months.
Three of the games will be played in
Baltimore, three in New York, and as
the donor OF the cup is resident of
Pittsburg, it is very likely that the
remaining game will be played in that
city. In these Temple cup games the
proceeds will be divided equally
ameng the players of each team, and
as they are sure to attract large audi.
ences, it will be matter of consider
able Importance to each player.

86-YEAR-OLD TWINS.
They are Preparing for Death-Hav
ing Caskets Made.

From the Raleigh Visitor
Mr.. Hector Mclean, of Harnett
county, and kis' twin brother were
here today on a curious mission. They
are the oldest twins in the State and
are devoted to each other. Both are
gentlemen of the "old school," Hec-
tor today had on a richly embroidered
vest which he has had for AZ years.
Although the brothers are in good
health they naturally think good
deal about death and determined some
time ago to be Inferred in metal
caskets. Being economical, they
hated to think of squandering money
on their burial. A friend of theirs,
who has been employed as copper
worker, told them il they would pur-
chase the copper he could have a
couple of caskets made for them much
cheaper than they could be obtained
from an undertaken. 1t was this that
brought them here and they purchased
the copper today. They expect the
caskets to be ready in a short time.
The Messrs. Mclean are well known
and respected citizens OF Harnett.
Their many friends hope they will
have no need for their caskets fol
many years to come.

Congressman Bowers Oppone MT.
From the Morganton Herald


A reader wants to know what the
letter z stands for in the name of Col.
Rcmulus Linney, and also wants to
know why the papers sometimes call
him Zacharia, sometimes Zachicus
and sometimes Zebulon. That looks
like poser, but in fact the answer is
easy. The letter 2 is used merely in
an algebraic sense, and represents the
unknown quantity land quality of the
Colonel's political principles. When
he appears as a Democrat the 2 is
translated into Zebulon, when he as
sumes the role of Republican they
call him Zacharia, in memory OF
Zacharia Chandler and 1876. As a
Confusionist he is sometimes called
Zachicus with accent on last syllable
because he still has the Chandler DO
quet about him and is more of cuss
than ever. 1t really doesn't make
much difference what you call him
anyway. He has been so many differ
ent things that he answers now tx
any name he hears.

The American Tobacco COMPANY,
the gigantic cigarette trust that has
dictated to the jobbing houses all
! over America for many years past, is
receiving its first setback on this
coast.
Tillmann s. Bendel, the leading GRO
Gerry house on the Pacific Coast, was
the first jobbing house in the State to
break loose from the dictation of the
trust, and yesterday, Craig, Stuart &
90, the well-known grocery house on
Los Angeles street, announced that
they will hereafter be Independent of
the cigarette trust. Mr.. r. L. Craig,
OF that firm, said today: "We con-
slider it our duty to break loose from
This gigantic trust. The jobbers of
tnls coast have been systematically
mistreated by it. This trust sends to
the jobbers its cigarettes, charging for
them price that yields them an enor-
nous profit; they fix the price that
the retailer must be charged by the
wholesaler; they require that no goods
but theirs shall be sold. Now, il any
or these conditions are broken by the
Jobber he is bOycOtted by this mOnop-
oily. We prefer to forego the usual
profit in this line of business, rather
than to continue to be dictated to by
the cigarette trust. The war against
this combination has begun and will
not end until there will be one trust
less In America, for there are enough
independent jobbing houses left to ac-
complish it,"

frllOwS:
Judge Ray, the only local republi-
can speaker Of this county, is said to
have remarked after hearing Chester
l. Longs speech last week, that he
was sorry that Long had spoken as
he did. 81 don't see how any labor
ing man in the country could vote
for him after hearing that speech"
There is not one morsel of truth in
the above statement. The next one
is as follows. In speaking of me you
say:
He was figuring on a nomination
for anything from county attorney to
cOngreSSman-at-large.
There is not one mOrSel OF truth in
the above statement. The next
reference to me is as follows:
Then it was that they remembered
the magic of Rays OratOry, and fell
upon their knees and implOred him TO
wash the salt out of his sores, and
come and speak the soothing words
of the ritual, to smooth the pathway
of the dying.
And he came.
But not without great persuasion
and considerable of the circulating
medium"
There is not one morsel of truth in
the above statement. l voluntarily
rendered my services free and never
received cent for my services to my
party in all of my life. Let us stick
to the truth in this campaign.

Number of women employed in fac

Wages paid range from 80 cents to

In commenting upon the employ
ment of women in these factories, the
labor com missioner uses the follow
ing language:
"Public sentiment can only be
aroused in opposition to great wrongs
by exposing them. Slavery could
never have been abolished had the
conscience of the nation not been
quickened by exposure of the horrible
details of slave life: and so the hor-
rOrs Of factory life. Slavery itself is
scarcell more degrading, its horrors
scarcely more revolving, and its effect
scarcely more damaging to good
morals and good government, than is
fast becoming the result by the dis
placement of men in the workshops of
the country with women. The wO-
man wage-wOrker has come, and, l
fear, has come to stay. She has not
come as an angel in disguise, bearing
blessings; but like a deadly frost in
midsummer, blighting. whitening, and
destroying. She is in nearly all the
factories, working at STARVATION
wages, diSplacing men. She is not
onlyin the cigar, StOgie and tailor
shops, but everywhere that wheels are
moving in the workshop or factory.
She is in the glass factories, the plan

a. D. Fasset, a republican, was the
commissioner who made the above
report. The next session of the Ohio
legislature abolished the office of
labor commissioned, so that all such
dlmning facts may henceforth be
covered up. Such is the cGhdi-
tIOn of affairs in McKinley'sown sta tie.
