L. Albright. He omitted the word
'sobey" in that part of the ceremony
addressed to the bride-but no objec-
it is generally agreed (among the
ladies, especially that it is unfair to
make woman say she will O0ey her
husband without making the same
demand upon the "old man."
The church was taStily decorated
for the. event. The rostrum was
covered with lovely flowers and ever
green's, in the center of which was a
staff. On the top of the latter was
a beautiful b monogram "W. c."
made of cedar.
The church was crowded with
friends and well-wishers of the happy
young couple.
After the marriage a pleasant re-
ception was held at the home of the
brides parents, MIR. and Mrs. J. A.
only a few relatives and friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Cummings were in
vited.
The newly-married couple will board
with the brides father for some

to our minds the virtues of Senator
Vance, we become aware of that in
which the safeguard of our country
consists.
The figure of Vance is the most
unique as well as the best beloved in
the history of the State of North Caro-
lima.
His genius placed him where no
man in our day, at least. however
great and meritorious, shall, be able to
compete with him for the prize OF
this peoples homage and love.
Appearing at the solemn hour of the
birth Of the civil war, he represented
in himself all the energy, the ability

ing to triumph by power of their yir

He was therefore an inspiration o.
our patriotism and the ideal of oul

BLEW THEM UP.
Outrage Upon an Old Couple in Ca
bsrrus County.

GadisOn Bowen, who is quite an old
man, three years ago moved to Cabar-
rus county, and married. He last
month reported to the grand jury the
names CT several Illicit dealers in
whishey, and this has caused a great
outrage to be perpetrated at his home.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Bowen were in
their house they heard stealthy foot
steps. They went out, but saw no
one. They returned and in few mo-
ments heard the noise Of Il burning
fuse. Before they could get out of the
house there was Il terrible explosion,
blowing up the tloor, which was for
tunately, of heavy planks. Mrs.
Bowen, who is 81 years Old, was
thrown nearly to the ceiling but was
not badly hurt. Mr.. Bowen, who is
49, escaped injury. The county au-
thoritieS are now making an inyeStl-
cation, and arrests may follow.

Senator Vance fell with his Sena-

THE WINDOW RECEIVED.
Bishop Rondthaler then received
the gift in behalf of the trustees of
the institution. In his address he
dwelt upon the loyalty and interest of
the girls, by whose effort the window
was secured. He also spoke of the
warm support given to The girls in
securing the funds by their friends
in the Twin-City. In the second place
he alluded to the fact that it was
pleasure to receive the gift in the
presence of Mrs Vance at whose
hands he had received many
personal courtesies. In the third
place be called attention to the fact
that this was the first memorial
erected to Senator Vance, warm
| friend of Salem Female Academy and
one of North CarOlina'S noblest sons.

At the conclusion of the Bishops
address, brief religious exercises were

A Successful Meeting.

Rev. IT. G. Bowen, the former pas

recently closed a successful meeting
at his present charge in Savannah,
Ga. In writing to his church paper
he says:
"Our meeting of eight weeks closed
with 80 additions Friday night, May
24th, and seven more made the good
confession Sunday. About 100 will be
added to the church, doubling the
working force. Brother Wright and
Brother and Sister Fullmore have
done us excellent service. The church
is working with new life and strength
along all lines"

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
As Viewed in Gotham.

The New York Mail and Express char
ecterizes Mr.. Quay's victory over great
odds as An achievement so brilliant and
mastery as to compel the admiration even
or his foes. In some respects 1t con-
tinues, 1t was q victory unparalleled In
the history of personal and practical poll
tics. 1t required for its accomplishment
rarely found IN the possession of one man,
but which, when SO possessed, mark the
man OF great deeds After bestowing the
highest praise upon the victor for his
'matchless self-mastery; his unruf11ed
temper; his unwearied patience; his inex-
haustive vitality and energy; his Sleep
less vigilance; his marvellous alertness In
seizing every point Of strategcal advan-
tage. and in short that altogether extra
ordinary combination Of talent, capacity
and genius that always distinguishes the
good or bad the Mail and Express con-
tnues: STILL We are convinced that the
real secret Of Senator Quay's victory Is
found In the fact that he was opposed by
the very men who had brought reproach
upon the Republican party of Pennsyl-
vania IN general, and upon his leadership
In particular, by their political abuses ana
infamies. There was q moral element In
the achievement. That element was rep
sented by Mr.. Quay's reform professions
and promises. The circumstances con-
own state may open to him q national
arena III which to exhibit and exercise his
Incompatible genius for leadership. But
the possession Of such powers and the be-
stOwal Of such honors carry with them
grave responsibilities. Mr.. Quay must
prove the genuineness of his reform senti-
ments. There must be no masquerading."
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-09-02
The fleaning OF Il.

The discussion Of Senator Quay's re-
form programme Is already fairly ma
tional in scope. bctokening the healthy
interest everywhere alive to whatever
promises to make for better govern
ment and more wholesome civic condi-
tions. 1t would be vain to pretend that
there Is unanimity In the belief In Mr..
Quay's sincerity; but 1t Is just to the
junior senator to say that few news
papers doubt that his newly-enunciat-
ed principles of political reformation
will be systematically and, to a de-
gree, effectively applied.
As typical of large class Of COM
ments. we may specify some remarks
by the Chicago Record, a paper never
inclined to overfriendliness for Mr..
Quay. This Journal does not pause
after conceding that the Pennsylvania
senator has very accurately gauged the
needs and the wishes Of the great ma
jority; II adds:
Quay has q better conception OF needed
reforms than many persons credited with
better intentions. But will he carry out
any OF his ideas? Many people believe
not, but II so Quay Is not as far-seeing a
politician as he now appears to be. The
spectacle Of this prince Of practical poll
tlolans" posing as a reformer appears hui
Is thought Of in the light of a reformer
from altrmstic motives. He would be
nothing of the kind. He would be re-
former for the sake of perpetuating his
power. just as he had previously made use
Of unsavory political methods for the
same purposes There Is no use in deny
ing the fact that the American people.
especially In cities, are ruled to large
to be entirely overthrown soon. either.
But the people are awak.ng to that extent
that bosses will not be tolerated who Will
not grant some measure or REFORM. The
has seen It, and by catering to the better
element" to some degree has defeated h s'
opponents. Judged simply from the stand
point of the politician who wants to per-
petuate his power. therefore, It would DO
the shrewd thing for Quay to carry out
at least part Of his programme OF reform.
Liberal and f8r-reaching reforms have
been brought about before by men who,
like Quay, embraced reform simply as
political exped.ent.
The appearance of Mr.. Quay as re-
former for the power there is in that
role Is at least frank and open; facts
! probably more likely to be appreciated
by the masses than speclous pretence
Of philanthropic intent which. however
eloquent In public. privately always
haggles over the pennies In the con-
| tribution box. We must confess that
we have been among the scoffers at
the senator's conversion; but In the
Records view Of the case this phe-
nomenon Is by no means inexplicable.
nor. when explained. hypocritical. At
all events, Senator Quay II entitled to
fair show. the outcome of which will
call up It's due accompaniment Of
praise or censure.

The York Convention.

With harmony once more thoroughly
assured among the masses OF their
party, Pennsylvania Republicans can
with pleasure lend their presence or
active interest to this weeks conven-
ton of the State Republican league at
York. The programme provided for
that great gathering Of bright and de-
termined young Republican yeomanry
is a brilliant one, and we'll calculated
to elicit enthusiastic appreciation.
The list of speakers and detailed out
line OF other promised pleasures APP
pear elsewhere in this paper and speak
eloquently enough in their own behalf.
1t Is here necessary only to refer to
them; and to couple to that reference
the suggestion that after the two
months Of brotherly throat-cutting In
which the active political leaders of the
state have been engaged with more
than common zeal. visit to York and
a participation in the weeks many
harmonies there contemplated and as
sured will be like a political benison,
soothing, healing and blessing.
Moreover, next year Is the year Of
tall game; and the Republican league Is
the one effective and place-respecting
instrument with which unselfish RE-
publicanism can bring that game down.
