chesleY-Valliant.

Last Tuesday morning at 730 O'Clock
there was solomized at Christ p E. Church,
in this town, one OF the most teautIful and
impressive marriages ever witnessed here.
The contracting parties were the Rev. J.
William Chesley, rector of the Protestant
Episcopal Church at Mechsnicsvilie, st.
Mary's county. and Miss Sarah +. Valiant,
of this town.
Early Tuesday morning large assem-
blage ushered by Ernest T. Valiant, neph-
ew Of the bride, and p. W. Harrison, one
of the church vestrymen, congregated in
the auditorium of Christ Church, everyone
bearing on his or her countenance look
of deep expectancy.
The decoration Of the church with white
flowers and noble palms lent additional
lustre and interest 10 the occasion. At the
hour Above named, Miss Valiant, dressed
in pure white and resting upon the arm of
her brother, Judge z. s. Valiant, of Queen
Anne's county, entered; and while Lohen-
grin's wedding march was being played by
Miss Berence George, the church organist,
approached the chancel where the groom
was in waiting, accompanied by his best
man, Mr.. Turner, one of his vestrymen.
The Rev. G. E. Buck, of Washington,
the groom's son-in law, read the first part
of the solemn service, and was assisted by
the Rev. Ernest McGill, former rector of
this Parish, and the Rev. George w. Hin
kle, rector of the parish, performed the
marriage ceremony. Two matrimonial
hymns were sung by full choir. At the
conclusion of the marriage ceremony, the
Holy Communion was celebrated, the choir
rendering the communion music. The en-
tire service, which lasted some forty min
utes, was solemn and beautiful to the point
of sublimity.
After the communion, the bride and
groom retired TO the carriage in waiting,
while the church organ was pealing forth
the sacred strains of Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march.
The happy couple were driven to the
home of the Hon. James Valiant, brother
of the bride, and surrounded by relatives
and friends partook ola wedding breakfast.
At11.1S, amidst a shower of rice, they
took the West bound b. G. & A. train for
Baltimore, from whence they went to the
home of the groom in ST. Mary's county,
reaching there the afternoon of the same
day.
Miss Valiant was one of the most active
communicates of our p. Z. Church Her
life was devoted to church work She was
ever ready and always willing to do deeds
of charity TO her neighbor. She was what
might bs called a local missionary. Her
efforts in bringing children into the Sunday
School, and having them baptized, and as.
sisting in their instruction for confirma-
ton, will be greatly missed-in this parish
at least And the Rev. Mr.. Chesley could
not have made a wiser choice of wife to
assist him in his ministerial works.. M.

then too late to save anything and the

there were few stamps, little mail matter

ICOMMUSIC

Messrs. Editors Il notice in the issue of
the BEACON of Sept. Goth, letter from Mr.
Geo. Thomas, of Mattapany, relative to his
position with party politics, which is about
a fair specimen of letters and verbal state
ments coming from all over our State and
nation, from good men who have defended
their respective parties, both Democratic
and Republican. Among other things Mr..
Thomas says: "For many years have faith
fully voted the Democratic ticket as pre-
sented on the day of election, sometimes
with woeful prickings of my conscience
for so doing. For a long time have felt
that the iron rule of the management in
this State imposed upon me a yoke too
heavy for me to bear, and have protested
in private that my sense ofmanhood would
no longer permit me to cast my vote mere
ly 10 record the will of a selfish rule that
recognized only the claims of a select few
upon the spoils of party victory, in all their
system and management, as tie end 10 be
attained, the only result, of our political
struggles"
Now, Messrs. Editors, the trouble is both
the old parties, Democratic and Republi-
can, are dead. There is no issue between
them except party spoiks. They hare been
dead for twenty years, and are badly de-
cayed. There is nothing left of them except
a mass of political corruption. No doubt
both of them have been useful in their day
and generation, but their work is now done
and they should be buried out of sight un.
der monuments telling TO our children
what they have done. But as a progress
sive people, living in progressive age,
cannot afford to retard the Nations prog.
gress by dragging these old corrupt parties
along with US. There are ends of grave
importance for the Nations safety, and
progress that must be attained, foremost
among which is the complete suppression
of the traffic in intoxicating liquors for
beverage. believe that neither the Dem
ocratic nor the Republican party can do
this had they the inclination TO 90 so.
Very many of the best men of our county
seeing las does Mr.. Thomas) the evils of
and only personal ends TO be accomplished
by both of the old parties, have cut them
selves loose from those old parties and have
formed political party, for political pur.
poses, with an issue tue and clean. In
their platform of principles they ssy, that
we stand uncompromisingly opposed to the
manufacture, sale, importation and expor-
tation Of distilled and fermented liquors
for beverage purposes. Upon the subject
of tariff, they say, that import duties
should be levied primarily upon ,rxuries,
rather than necessaries, and should be ad.
justed and limited to the requirements of
the Government when economically ad-
ministered. Aside from this, import duties
should be levied only as a means of secur.
ing equitable relations with other nations
and the protection of our domestic lsbor."
