PURITAN MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Startling Biblo Texts Sometimes Selected
For the Wedding Sermon.

Startling BibIo Texts Sometimes Selected
For the Wedding Sermon.
A marriage in church was rare, writes
Alice Morse Earle in The Ladies' Home
journal, in an article on "Courtship
and Marriage In Puritan Days" Occa-
sionally one took place in the new home
of the young couple. This was held to
be somewhat unlucky. Thanksgiving
day was q favorite time to choose to be
married, as friends were then gathered
from afar.
The bride was universally advised to
wear
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
and though she could dress before O
mirror she must not look in the glass
when once her toilet was completed,
else ill luck, in vaguely defined but
positive form, were the result. Sunday
was really the exhibition day for the
bride. Indeed she found at meeting the
sole place in which she could appear be-
fore an assembled public, and for this
exhibition the happy pair donned their
finest bridal attire. The bride and groom
and bridal party opened the show by
proudly walking in little procession
through the narrow streets to the meet
ing house OH the Sabbath following the
marriage
In Larned's "History of Windham
County, Conn.," we read description
of such an amusing scene in Brooklyn,
Conn. Further public notice was drawn
to the bride by allowing her to choose
the text for the sermon preached on the
first Sunday Of the coming out of the
newly married couple. Much ingenuity
was exercised in finding appropriate and
sometimes startling Bible texts for these
wedding sermons.
The instances are well known of the
marriage Of Parson Smith s two daugh-
ters, one Of whom selected the text,
"Mary hath chosen that good part,
while the daughter Abby, who married
John Adams, decided upon the text,
"John came neither eating nor drink
ing, and they say he hath devil-'

Alter several attemps to pass reso.
luton compelling all candidates whom
the committee might endorse to pledge
themselves to various things, it VISA
finally adopted to have them sign on
paper that they will support the new
water worka system. A motion also
prevailed giving the chairman and eec-
retary the power to present the Demo-
crate an invitation to meet the Populist
conference committee.
Resolutions were then adopted as fol-
lows:
That We are opposed to placing any
unjust restriction on the development
OF our Oil industry; that the city central
committee ehall not have the power to
I'LL vacancies for city Offices. and that
the city convention itself shall nomin-
ate them; that we favor the consolida-
ton OF the city and county government
30 far as practical, when left to vote of
the people,"
A preamble was then adopted to the
effect that national and state political
issues have no direct bearing on mu-
nlcipal government. and requests the
citizens OF the city to examine the
Peoples party principles, as well as the
reform demanded in the city platform.
in the hope that if they meet with their
appreciation they will join their support,
regardless OF national political aHlia-
ton.
Alter some good natured squabbling
over the date to which the convention
should adjourn, it was decided to meet
again next Tuesday at 10 o'clock.

THAT HAWAIIAN BUSINESS.

The Washington Post charges thai
President Cleveland has dealt double
facedly in the Hawaiian matter. He is
alleged to have given instructions to
Minister Willis contrary in spirit and
letter to the message he sent to congress
on the situation.
Why has all this strict secrecy been
maintained in all that the %administra-
ton has done in regard to the little pile
of mud in the Pacific? This is a repub.
lie and its citizens have a right to know
of the actions of their servants.
Mr.. Cleveland seems to be doing bust.
ness under the delusion that he is the
United States. His colossal egotism is
the monumental feature Of this admins
~tration.
He called an extra session of congress,
informed the members what he wanted
done and dashed his measures through
with the hand Of a master bossing his
hirelings.
He has distributed the patronage not
in the light of fitness nor of party ser
vice, but has used it to his own personal
ends, to crafty personal spites and per-
sonal friendships. The men who have
opposed him are humiliated and refused
even the pickings of the patronage.
To all intents and purposes, he regards
this as a personal government. The men
who were elected by the people to rep
resent them and to make their laws, have
become the underlings of a dictator.
Mr.. Cleveland recognizes no co-ordi.
nate branch of the government. He
does not confne himself to the real func.
tions of the executive, he not only wants
to execute the laws but to dictate what
laws shall be made.
The government is composed of three
branches, CO ordinate in their functions,
and of equal rank-the legislative, the
the executive. In this present
lime the executive so dominates, the
other two that they are quite subordi-
nate.
This is the acme of Capitalization.
The idea of democracy is the largest pos.
'ible liberty, the rule of the people by
themselves through the medium of their
When one branch of this SER
rice usurps the functions delegated to

ions.
Whatever Mr.. Cleveland may have

ccount.
Congress has a right to be consulted
q affairs of state, and the people have
right to know the why's and where.

D. j. COOPER ASSAULTED.
Garrett Fullerton Laboring Under g
Slight De1usion.

Garrett Fullerton was arrested and
brought before Justice Davis yesterday
on the charge of assault and battery
upon D. J. Cooper. He was admitted to
bail in the sum of 500 for his appear
ance for trial this evening at z o'clock.
In default of bail he was committed to
Jail. The appearance of Mr.. Cooper
would indicate that he had decidedly
the worst of the trouble.
Fullerton seems to be laboring under
slight misapprehension as to the rights
of owners of property. Some time ago
he was picked up by Mr.. Cooper and
given home on the farm. Mr.. Cooper
had decided to move his family on the
place, but hearing that Fullerton had
said he would not permit the family to
move there as long as he had possession,
went out to the place in advance of the
fanily's arrival. He met Fullerton in
the room and told him the family was
coming and to move his bed upstairs.
Fullerton objected and Mr.. Cooper pro-
ceeded to roll up the blankets, proceed
ing with them as far as the stair door.
NAOAO LIS way was OlSoASu NY uilcrIOA.
In this crisis of authority Fullerton led
out with his right, knocking Cooper,
blankets and all on to the floor. He
followed his advantage by thorough
drubbing, of which Mr.. Cooper's face to-
day bears ample evidence. After satisfy
ing his pugilistjc propensities Fullerton
left the house, bound for town, ten miles
distant, through the mud, and wading
creeks nearly up to his hips. Cooper
mounted horse and passed him on the
way, swore out acompIaint against him,
and when Fullerton loomed up in the
distance near the city limits, was
promptly arrested and placed in Jail.
