at St. Mary's Church.

Mr.. c. =. Murphy and Miss Nellie
Ray were married, at 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning, at st. Mary's
church, by Rev. Father c. W. Doherty.
The ceremony was attended by their
many friends. MI. Charles H.. O'Brien
was the best man. Miss Lottie Ray, a
sister of the bride, was bridesmaid.
Mr.. Murphy is decidedly popular in
Augusta, and is one of our prominent
druggists. He has hosts of friends,
and is generally known as one of the
| best fellows that ever lived.
Miss Ray has a very sweet and ami
| able disposition, and is very well liked
by all who know her. At the cere-
: monies she looked very pretty in a
beautiful white muslin dress, trimmed
with white satin.
The presents were numerous, and
very pretty.
After the wedding. the bride and
bridegroom left for a trip to Boston
and New York. On their return, they
will reside at Mr.. Murphy's present

are very pretty: also the crocheted
covers. All of the pieces merit con
sideration."
This award is one with which the
Misses Eaton may well feel pleased
and proud. The work is wholly their
own all five having contributed to
make the really extraordinary showing
which they presented for the exhibit
ton. In the Women's exhibit of the
State of Maine, they had about 10
representative pieces. inc Of the

to friends, but there still remain Of
the collection, some pieces which are
very attractive. There is a variety of
design and weave thai combines
beauty with the best of taste. Among
the other articles is a large bed quilt,
which was done by one of the ladies in
little squares and then put together
with a nicely and regularity. and q
substantially, withal, that makes 1t a
veritable masterpiece. Then there is
a set of fancy embroidered stockings.
Of II different patterns. There IS such
a marked contrast in the patterns, too,
most of them being wholly original,
both in the combination Il style of
weave. that it is a rare treat for anyone
to see them. Doylics and table mats,
towels and napkins, with fancy skirts
ruffles and fringes, and every conceiv-
able kind of ~adornment. To give them
full Justice, neat backgrounds Of deli
cately colored paper is arranged, max
ing a most beautiful as well as a
striking assortment.
To do all this required a year and
more of careful, painstaking work.
And it is somewhat remarkable. yet
within the clearly evident common
sense which pervades the pleasant
household, that not one stitch of the
work was done by artificial light. 1t
was by day. "and sometimes very
early in the day, too" as one re-
marked.
What the Journal reporter enjoyed
from the visit would be impossible to
say-he. too. a mai whose knowledge
of such things is confessedly limited.
To the woman, however, whose infor-
nation and interest in such matters
is well nigh ~boundless, the collection
must be a treat of the very choicest
kind. and d which, we very much
doubt. can be excelled in New Eng
land, And all done under one home
roof!

New York, Sept. ga special to
the Herald from Washington, says:
The government has been called to
stop an alleged piratical expedition in
the Pacific Senior Romero, Mexican
minister to the United States, informed
the state department that the Mexican
consul in San Francisco had represent
ed to him that the four-masted schoon-
er Satana was being fitted out in Oak
land to carry an expedition to Lower
California to forcibly take possession
of property in that region, claimed by
Friers and Bethune, the title of which
is now i'll litigation. This information
was sent to the treasury department
and Acting Secretary Hamlin sent a
telegram to the collector of customs in
San Francisco, directing him to sec
that the neutrality laws are not violat
ed in any way by the schooner.

Money for the Orient.

San Francisco, Sept. 27.-When the
Pacific Mail steamer City of Rio JAN
Giro sailed for China and Japan with
passengers and merchandise, she car
ried away the largest amount of trea-
sure which has been taken to the
Orient in over two years. The total
amount from the various banks and
Chinese merchants Melted 81, 1874, 400,
of which sum 1905, 400 was in Mexican
dollars, and s227 900 in silver bullion.
This will bring the total amount of
treasure exported to China and Japan

TAXATION IN MEXICO.
The Reform Bill Has Passed the Lower
House of Congress.

Mexico, Sept. 27.-The lower house
of congress has passed, with some
slight verbal amendments, bill pro-
viding for amending the federal consti-
tuition that neither states nor munich
palities shall have the right to tax for
eigu or domestic merchandise entering
or in transit through their respective
jurisdictions. The bill now goes to
the senate. This measure will be one
of the most radical reforms ever adopt
ed here, as it emphasizes the federal
authority and removes at one blow all
obstacles to the transmission of mer-
chandise within the republic. Hitherto
many states and even townships have,
at will, placed customs duties against
both foreign and domestic merchan-
disc, and although within few years
some of the more progressive states
have removed state custom houses, the
practice has prevailed to the extent Of
depriving this country of the fullest
free trade within its borders, and hal
badly embarrassed railway companies
which had to deal often with from tel
to fifteen state custom houses, ant
municipal tax-gatherers.

A Starting Machine.

San Francisco, Sept. 26.-When the
new racetrack at Ingleside is opened,
next November, an Australian starting
machine will take the place of that
man with red flag. One of the ma
chimes was recently imported from the
antipodes, where they are in vogue,
and give marked satisfaction. The ma
chine consists of two bands of strong
webbing, each band about four inches
in width, made fast at both ends to a
frame which slides upward and away
from the horses at an angle of about
as degrees.
AS soon as the horses are lined up,
facing the webbing, the starter pulls a
lever, which releases the trigger, sends
the webbing flying swiftly and noise
lessly upward and outward, and the
horses are off in line. The timing
will be done by electricity.
An automatic indicator placed above
the timers stand will display the time
made to every quarter as the horses
pass the pole.
