The Marriage Of Rev. Claude q. Pile ID Miss
Henrietta Quisenberry, Up at
Trinidad. Colo.

The Trinidad Advertiser, OF yesterdays
issue, contains the following account OF
the marriage Of q couple who arrived In
Las Vegas, last evening, on their bridal
trip;
At high noon, to-day. at the residence
of Mrs. e. I. Quisenberry, ll5 W. 4th
street, will occur the marriage OF Mrs.
Quirenberry's daughter, Miss Henrietta, to
the Rev. Claude E. Pile. The wedding Will
be a quiet enc and only the most intimate
friends will he present. The ceremony will
be performed by the Rev. M. L. Streator,
Christian evangelist for the west, who ar
rived over the Rio Grande, last evening,
fr, M Denver.
Miss Quisenberry is one OF Trinidad's
fairest and most accomplished daughters.
She ca me to this city about ten years ago
with her parents from Missouri. She early
developed a talent for music, and after
graduating from the high school, entered
the conservatory Of music at Cincinnati,
where she completed her course Ia 1892.
Since her return home, she has been most
successful as a music teacher and her eie
CANT paying has been most popular with
Trinidsd audiences. Miss Quisenberry is
a favorite among all the young people, and
to know her is to admire her. She is re-
fined, cultured and OF a sweet disposition /;
she possesses that womanly nature that
mar ks the excellency of a young lady, and
makes her the most desirable for a life
companion.
The groom is the ~well-known pastor OF
the Christian church on East Maiu street.
He has been in Trinidad only a year, but
has made a host of friends, both in and
outside his church. The Rev. Mr.. Pile is a
native of Illinois, but when only a boy,
came west with his father, to Kansas.
When the son was seventeen years old, his
father died, throwing him upon his own
resources. He was diligent and studious,
and studying after working hours, prepar-
sity at Lincoln, Nebraska, where he made
a brilliant record. One year ago, he was
called to the pastorate of the Christian
church in this city, and has Just completed
a successful year of most satisfactory
work. AT a recent meeting Of the church,
1t was unanimously voted that he
should be retained as pastor for an
other year. Since coming to Trinidad,
Rev. Mr.. Pile has made himself felt as a
power for good and by his fearlessness in
attacking all that was wrong, the forces of
evil lave been d~iscomfitted. He is recog-
nized as a man of strong intellectual
ability, moral stamina and spiritual fervor
n is held in great esteem by all who
know him.
After the ceremony, the bride and groom
will take the $3.50 Santa Fe train for Las
Vegas, where they will spend their honey
moon, Rev. Pile having been granted q
vacation by his church. They will return
to Trinidad aud begin house keeping.
The Advertiser joins in hearty %congratu-
latious with the hosts of friends of the hap
py couple In wishing them a long and
married lie.

A Card Of Thanks

The Ladies' Relief Society desires to
thank the pastor and congregation Of the
Presbyterian church, for the collection
taken in that church, May 18th, for the
benefit Of the Home. We think it would
be well for all the churches in the city to
take a collection, the first Sunday in May,
for the same purpose and call it "Hospital
day" as most cities and large towns do.
M. G. RAYNoLDs,
Treasurer Ladies' Relief.

A Land Without Animals.
Popular Science.

From Popular Science.
Japan is a land without the domes-
tic animals. 1t is this lack which
strikes the stranger so forcibly in
looking upon japanese landscapes.
There are nc cows-the Japanese neith-
er drinks milk nor eats meat. There
are but few horses, and these are i'm
ported mainly for the use of the for
eigners. The freight cars in the city
streets are pulled and pushed by coolies,
and the pleasure carriages are drawn
by men. There are but few dogs, and
these are neither used as watch dogs,
beasts Of burden nor in hunting, ex.
cept by foreigners.
There are no sheep in Japan, and
wool is not used in clothing, silk and
cotton being the staples. There are nc
pigs-pork being an unknown article
Of diet, and lard is not used in cook
ing. There are no goats, or mules, OF
donkeys. Wild animals there are,
however, and in particular, bears Of
enormous size. One of these Mr..
Finch saw stuffed, in q museum, he
describes as "big al an OK" Beside q
stuffed museum bear is preserved, in
alcohol, the mangled body of a child
the bear had eaten just before being
killed. War, Of course. is acquaintine
the Japanese with the use of animals.
The army has cavalry horses, and 9th
ers to drag the field guns. The en-
press, also, in obvious imitation Of
European royalties, is an expert horse
woman, and saddle horses are kept TO,
her use.
