and promise.
The beautiful bride of scarcely II

white lace, while white roses, carna
tons and lilies draped her tresses and
engaged her left hand. | have never
met a more beautiful bride. She is
also endowed with the wealth and cul-
ture of a splendid mind.
The groom was dressed in the con
ventfonal black, and seemed the SOU
of manly honor, and the treasury OF
the worlds joys.
The home of Mr.. G. W. Kerr, foul
miles northwest of Worcester, was the
gilded scene of this festive occasion.

perhaps you would not think SO,
but a very large proportion of diseases
in New York comes from c~arelessness
about catching cold," says DIR. Syrus
Edison. at is such a simple thing and
so common that very few people, I'M
less it is a case of pneumonia, pay any
attention to a cold. NewYork is one of
the healthiest places on the Atlantic
Coast and yet there are a great many
cases of catarrh and consumption
which have their origin in this neglect
of the simplest precaution of every
day life. The most sensible advice is,
when you have n get rid of it as
soon as possible. By all means do not
neglect it." DIR. Edison does not tell
you how to cure a cold but we will.

THE CIGARETTE BILL KILLED.
The Senate Satirically Makes the Meas
ure the Special Order for July 4.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, February 27.
The Senate summarily disposed of
the bill passed by the House to pro-
hibit the sale of cigars, cigarettes and
cigarette wrappers to minors. The
Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
reported it adversely and Chairman
Peers moved that the bill be made a
special order for July 4. The sugges-
ton was adopted after Senator Gray
had roasted the Rev. Ben Deering
who, he said, was a minister of the
Gospel who had been sitting in the
all winter with a cigar in his
mouth. If religion could not get him
to give up cigars it was wrong to pass
restricting the liberties of the
people.

DENVER, Colo, February 27.-Sen-

pointment to a minor clerkship. Mills
called Pease a liar, and Pease threw a

clerk, who struck him three times,
cutting a cash in his face and black

A NEW PARTY.
Probable Result of the Conference of
Bimetallists.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The meet
ing of the Executive Committee of the
Bimetallic League which has been in
progress for nearly two weeks, and
the proceedings of which have been
surrounded with the greatest secrecy
may be continued until after the ad-
j%ournment of Congress and may have
influence upon the political statutes of
the financial question. During this
week the conferences have been ONE
what informal and have been swelled
by the presence of members of both
Houses of Congress who do not belong
to the committee. So far as ear be
learned few Republicans have taken
part in the discussion and the repre-
sentation has been confined mostly to
Democrats and Populists. To-day a
prominent Democrat who has inter-
mittingly taken part in the conference
said the probable result of the meet
ing would be a declaration looking to
a new party.

no mar to put aside his convictions
upon any other issue. This is the most
definite statement that it has been
possible to ecu from any members
of the League upon it's deliberations.
