H. L. Humphrey Married.

Geneseo IN. Y. Republican, Aug.
ID; Last evening the marriage of
Miss Hester Paret White, only daugh-
ter Of the late Joseph L. White, and
Herbert Lincoln Humphrey Of Kansas
City, Mo-, brother Of County Clerk
Humphrey, was solemnized by the
Rev. f. G. Dodge at the BRIDES resi-
dence on Center street in this village
and was witnessed by over a hundred
friends Of the contracting parties,
Promptly at half past eight the bridal
party entered the spacious parlor to
the strains Of "Lohengrin" wedding
march rendered by an orchestra, the
bride being preceded by the groom's
little niece and nephew and by Miss
Bertha E. Paine of Oneida as her
maid Of honor, while +. Paret Magee
of Danwille, supported the groom as
best man. A novel and most impress
sive feature Of the ceremony was the
exchange of the mutual VOWS by the
bridal couple without their dictation
by the officiating clergyman. After
the guests had offered their congratu-
lations refreshments from Teal of
Rochester were served in the dining
room and upon the broad piazzas
which had been enclosed for the occa-
sion. Many handsome presents gave
substantial expression to the interest
and good wishes Of host of friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey will leave
next week for their western home
where the bridegroom, who is an
alumnus of the Genesco Normal, is a
leading and successful member Of the
bar. The bride will be missed by a
large circle Of friends in Geneseo
where she has been general favorite
for years, both as a member of the
Normal faculty, and in our church
and social life.

Miss Mace King has been wondering

Herald writer the description Of her
A very similar article in the Topeka
Journal tells it ALL Speaking Of hel
canvass it says.
The young woman was too much
for them, and instead Of taking Miss
Anthony's advice and folding hel
hands, she rolled up her sleeves and
made a bold strike for the pie-counter,
and fusion or no fusion, she is going
to be elected. Miss Mace King is de-
scribed as a tall, slender, blue-eyed
girl, rather quiet and retiring in her
manners, very polite and obliging,
never hurts anyone's feelings; always
does right. She hasn't any fads, isn't
new woman, nor dress reformer.
Ed. Little Of Abilene, who ought to
know, says Of Miss King; ''She is
just an old-fashioned, nice, sweet sem
sible girl--the kind that make good
sisters and wives, ! guess

SECURED NAMES ENOUGH.
GRAND JURY PETITION Is CON.
pLHTRD TODAY.
On the Last Day Allowed BY Law for
the Filing Of the Petition lol
Names Arc Reached Judge Hum
phrsy Il Now to Decide on It.

The work Of securing names for thu
grand jury petition was completed
this morning when Mrs. Case added
the last Of l05 names to the docu-
ment. She received most Of them

number from Abilene. The question
Of their eligibility was to be consid-
cred and she brought it here to Sc
cure the treasurer's certificate that
the signers are all taxpayers and res
idents Of the county as required by
law. In a few instances the signers
are those who are assessed this year
but have never paid taxes before. As
the tax roll Of 1895 is not yet COM
plete the question as to their coming
under the definition was raised.
County Treasurer Pattison was out
Of town this morning and she spent
the time looking up legal advice.
The time when the petition must
be filed with Judge Humphrey ex-
pires tonight.
Deputy Treasurer Matteson and
Mrs. Case checked over the names
this afternoon A few were not found
on the tax roll but as a number were
added from Abilene today enough are
on the list to make 100 unless later
developments show that more are in
eligible. Il could as well have had
200," said Mrs. Case, "but thought |
had plenty"
Mr.. Matteson at last certified that
there were l0l taxpayers on the list,
meeting the requirements and at 8 p.
m. Mrs. Case started in her carriage
to drive to junction City and present

Sultan of Turkey u Hard Worker.

A correspondent who has just return-
ed from Constantinople writes that, ac-
cording to current conversation in that
city. the present sultan of Turkey is one
of the most hard-worked men in all the
Ottoman domiuions.
Rising at 6 o'clock every morning,
his days in the seclusion of the Yildix
palace and gardens are devoted to per-
sonal attention to all the affairs of state
laid before him by his ministers. He
has been the means of establishing So
000 schools throughout his empire. not
only for boys but for girls also. which
is a strong departure from the lradi-
tioual usage of his race and people.
Once a week only does he present
himself to the view of the people. to rs
sure them of his continued existence
and health. On one of these state visits
to the mosque two or three weeks ago
his majesty was accompanied in his
carriage by Ghazi Osman Pacha. The
difference in appearance between them
is remarkable.
Tbs sultan is of slight figure. A
plain brown o%vercoat conceals any dec
orations he might be wearing. leaving
nil the attention Of spectators to be di-
rected to his pale, wan and careworn
face. half covered by a thin brown beard
Hinged with gray aud surmounted by a
plain red fez. Osnan Pacha has a long
silver-gray beard, a robust physique.
manly bearing and clear, bright e., g.
He acknowledged ANY remark made to
him by the sultan with a military sa-
lute.-Loadon Daily NeOs.

YALE BOYS SLANG.
Perverted and Coined Words Expressive
of Their Intense Feelings.

Probably the two most common slang
phrases in use on the Yale campus,
words continually recurring in the av-
erage students speech, are the terms
smooth" and "footless," saws a New
Haven letter to the Hartford Times.
The first. which is nothing more han
the staid Old English word, captured
and made to fill the office OF hundreds
of less expressive adjectiyes, may rep
resent any quality, good, desirable, at
tractive, or beautiful. aud is of particu-
lar benefit to the collegian in that it re-
lieves him Of the arduous task Of find
ing a qualifying adjective particularly
suited 10 the case IN question. 1t is used
with perfect propriety in expressing
satisfaction with the weather, a football
game, or a pretty girl.
As TO the etymology of the word
"footless" very little can be said that is
definite. 1t belongs 10 the class which
has sprung up spontaneously without
any very good reasons for existence.
But the college student thinks not at all
OF that fact when he brings it again and
again into his speech to express a mean
Ing nearly opposite 10 that OF the word
just mentioned. The play at the thea
ter is foOticss when il is not mp TO the
expectation of the speaker. The foot
bail practice is said TO be footless when
the playing OF the team is much below
its usual standard of excellence. OF
course it is plain 10 see that an ostrich.
human being, or grand piano deprived
of their underpinning would be in a
rather useless condition. Ii does not
appear, however. why the term "arm-
less" or "leg'ess' could not have been
used with equal propriety.
Another word. without which the
Yale undergraduate would be sadly at
a loss to express himself intelligently.
is the term ~fruit," which is capable of
use both as a noun and a verb. The
operation of ~%fruiting" an examination
is performed when the questions asked
are found to come within the limits of
the victims previous knowledge Of the
subject. and anything is said to be
fruit when it is easy or easily done.
This expression may be made very en-
phatic BY the use of pretixes; thus, any
thing that is dead easy fruit is the
very acme of simplicity to the col
legian's mind. As to the origin Of this
most expressive word, We are once
more thrown in doubt. Perhaps the
simile was originally suggested by a
tree laden with juicy ripe apples, which.
presumably, could be easily shaken
down.
