OLD BLACK 10.
The State House Custodians Big
Silver Wedding.

A laboring man from TyrOl, the home
OF patriotism, who Is labOring man
still, had silver wedding the other
day. IL was attended by as many peo.
pie and dignitaries as though he had
been one Of the biggest moguls in the
United States. Why? Because as
man Joseph Albrich and family are
well liked and in our country the peo-
do not yet know much of distinction of
classes, thank God.
How the people back in the old
mountain home In Europe, that little
Tyrol that once defled Napoleon and
bis armies, would have opened wide
their eyes If they could have looked in
on "Old black Jor as he is familiarly
called, one Of the custodians of the state
house. as he was celebrating his silver
wedding last Thursday. Even in his
humble capacity, he is as well known
as many man In our state who Occu.
pies far higher positions.
Here is what Joseph and his family
wish to say about the matter, now that
1t is all over, and they say it very nicely
in their own way:
In express ion Of our deep and heart
felt gratitude we cannot but say few
words of thanks to our numerous
friends-friends who not only honored
us with their presence on the occurrence
of our silver jubilee, but friends who as
! sisted in every conceivable manner to
make the event auspicious, and who in
the warmth of their affection, reHem-
bered US with rich and handsome
souvenir presents appropriate to the oc.
caslon. In return for such earnest de-
mOnOstrations of sincerity, we feel that
the power of our language is INSULT
cieDt to express the feelings of our
hearts toward those who attended our
reception and absent donors who re-
membered US with their gifts. Particu-
larly we must mention Rev. Father
| White, who conducted and managed
the commemorative marriage Ceremony
ia st. Josephs Catholic church, a1I
Rev. Father Adelhelm, who came all
the way from Portland to assist; R.v.
Fathers Placidus and Bsrchtold, Bro.
Gaul and Mr.. Mackman, Of Mt. Angel,
who constituted the choir aud rendered
with charming effect beautiful mass
OF the first named fathers own compo-
sition; all the many dignitaries of the
state whose bright and witty cover.
sation enlivened the passing of the
afternoon, ard in fine, all those whose
prompt response to our humble invita-
ton made the reception one long to be
remembered by US and our children.
