THE SACRED TIE.
Miss Mary L. Long and Dr.,
Charles Silvis Married,
THE SOUTH ROCK ISLAND WEDDING.

Was . Private Affair." Owing to the Illness
of the Groom-Popular Young People
The Arsenal Council Dance. Tri-City
Charity,Ban and the Social Dentists.
The marriage of Miss Mary L.
Long to DIR. Charles L. Silvis was
celebrated at the groom's parents
South Rock Island home last evening.
The solemn words were pronounced
ut O'Clock by Rev. J. H. Ke:r. Il
the Central Presbyterian church. in
the presence of only relatives of the
contracting parties. Shortly after
the invitations had been issued by
the brides parents announcing the
marriage at their home in this city,
the groom was taken ill with symp-
toms of pneumonia and has since
been unable to leave the house.
This necessarily deferred the ar
engagements made for an appro-
pirate celebration of the happy
occasion by the young lady's par
ents. but not the ceremony, which it
was decided to have performed pri-
vately at the groom's home. 1t was
no less a joyous and happy event.
Mr.. and Mrs. Silvis were the recipi-
ents of many valuable evidences of
esteem, including some beautiful
sets of silverware. and q snug purse
from the groom's father.
A mere worthy couple has not been
united in Rock Island before. The
groom is a son of K. S. Silvis, of
South Rock Island, and formerly Of
Carbon Cliff, is graduate Of the
Louisville Dental college, is skilled
in his profession, most thoroughly
accomplished and popular young
man. who has already established
himself in the lucrative practice of
his profession in Rock Island. His
bride is the cultured and graceful
daughter of Mr.. and MIS-. G. j. Long,
a most admired young lady who has
for four years been q teacher in the
Rock Island schools, of which she
herself is graduate with highest
honors. Such . union means the
highest and best interests of both.

sensational melodrama, with "hor-
sey" interpretations, by A. Y. Pear

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The question now before the Republicans
of Pennsylvania, as the Philadelphia Press
well explains, IL whether they "are to
condemn and paralyze their own chosen
administration at the very beginning Of
its term. Is there fair-minded man
among them, Is there q lover Of fair play,
who does not feel In his heart Of hearts
that Governor Hastings would engage in
no contest except as ne IL compelled by a
sense OF self-respect and public duty? To
defeat and humillate him is to stifs all
Independence of judgment and to reduce
the whole party to mere servility. Sena-
tor Quay has been most unhappily m!sled
In his present attitude. His truest and
wisest friends throughout the state have
admonished him against this mistake.
Those who were his strength and his
support in 1888 and who were at his back
In the tariff fight have earnestly appealed
to him not to allow himself to be swayed
by the petty band Of pltiful malcontents
whose arrogant assumptions were 80 Of
fenslve at Harrisburg and whose per-
nicious influence blights all upon whom
falls its fatal spell. Hundreds Of veteran
Republicans who are far truer friends Of
Senator Quay than these parvenu mar
plots find themselves unable to go with
him on this Issue. It Is the best friendship
to want to save him from these mis-
chievous wreckers. Let him take counsel
of his own better judgment and abandon

out reason"
