DIDN'T WANT HIM.
Peculiar Turn of Affairs at a We'd
ding in Indiana.

ENGLISH, Ind, April There was a
queer turn to wedding ceremony last
evening, 10 which Abraham Thayer and
Miss Estela Flagler were the principals.
""he minister had reached the point where
he turned TO the bride-elect and said inter-
negatively:
''You take this man as your lawful hus-
band ?' when she answered.:
mo, sir; do not. You are the first who
has asked my opinion on the matter. Mr.
Thayer has been counting my mother for
more than year. / thought it was her
hand he wanted. but it appears he only
wanted her consent that he might marry
me, and she concluded to compel me to
wed him."
The minister then said: This ends it..
| have no power TO bind any one against
his or her will"
The crowd broke up, cheering for the
spirited girl. The parties to the contract
are Hungarians, who usually settle such
matters for their children without consult
ing the children's wishes.

pense."

lieves that the United States should con-
struct, own and operate the canal.
Governor Hogg of Texas takes very pro-
nounced grounds against the United States

ment should prohibit foreign and privat
interference with the canal. ani should
construct, own and operate it itself"
Governor Lewelling Of Kansas declares
it desirable that the United States own
and operate the canal as exclusive prop
erty of the United States.
Congress smen Bynum of Indiana, Wash
