ME &. Johnson, the beautiful and accom-
plished daughter of air. and Mrs. W. r.
Johnson OF Buchanan. The marriage
ceremony was performed in an impressive
manner by Rev. s. L. Rice, paste of
the United Brethren Church, in the
presence of Il large circle of admiring
friends and guests. s. L. Ncwcomb acted
in the capacity of best man, and Miss
Cora Graybill was maid of honor.
After the ceremony the wedding purity
repaired to the spacious dining room,
where Il royal feast had been prepared
for the occasion, and which was thor
oughly enjoyed by all present.
There is II bit of romance connected
with this marriage, which may be of in
tcrcst to readers of The Times There
was some objection to the marriage on
the part OF the young lady's parents, who
reside at Buchanan; so Mr. Petzold
boarded No. yesterday al noon and went
TO buchanan, where he met Miss John
son. They would not risk trying to get
to Roanoke by taking the train there, as
her father is employed mt the depot, so
MIR. Petzold hired ii horse and buggy and
they started ostcnsibly for drive, but
III reality it was Il runaway. They drove
south to Lithia, where they boarded No

married and ready to receive parental
forgiveness on the part of the BRIDES

Tho Princess Maud Now Possesses Forty

It is evident that Princess Ma;1d,

says the London Letter. The parents of
the bride and the aristocracy having
presented their gifts to the young
bridal couple, they are now being fol-
lowed by the numerous towns, counties,
shires and guilds. Among the presents
received there are not less than 48 ladies'
bicycles, for it is known that Princess
Maud is an enthusiastic wheelwoman.
There are wheels of almost every class,
make and of the most varied construc-
tions and executions, some adorned
with engrayings and others with in.
scriptions. Besides the wheels the
princess is the recipient Of sew.

motors, compressed air and electricity.
Since the exhibition Of wedding pres
8ents is still fashionable in aristocratic
England, the show Of Princess Maud's
wedding gifts looks very much like a
cycle show or an exhibition of motor
carriages.

WHEN DAYS WILL BE LONG.
Each Will Be a. Big as q
Month.

Eventually Each Will Be as Big as q
Do you know that the day, which is
now only "a hours long, is slowly in
screasing in length, and that it will
eventually be rs, 26, or even 100 hours
in length? This statement, strange as it
may sound to one who has not read the
results of observations made on that
score, is believed to be true in every re-
spect. 80
Not only will the earth's motion slow
up until the day will be one, two and
three times as long as it is at present,
but this pace-slackening process will
increase with time, until the day will
eventually be week or even a month
in length. The ''retarding medium"
which the astronomers speak of as be-
ing the cause of this phenomenon, is not
fully understood at present.
Sir Robert Ball says that it is the fric-
ton of the tides which is responsible
for the most of it. he urges that the
time. will come when the day will be a
full year in length! Others among the
Investigators along this line declare
that it will be absolutely impossible
for this day-leng thening process to in
crease beyond one lunar month.

FIGHT BETWEEN ELkS.
How the Patriarch of the Drove Demon

How the Patriarch Of the Drove Demon
strated His Prowess. <z
A writer in the last issue of the Amer
lean Field had very interesting paper
on Hunting Big Game in the Rockies"
in which he depicts a combat between
the chief of a band of elks and num-
Der of valorous but indiscreet young
bulls of the same family.
After leaving camp and hunting the
mountains for a distance of four or five
miles he came in sight of a fresh sign,
followed it up, and soon found band
of perhaps hundred elks, cows, calves
and bulls, going to the windward. They
soon crept up within so to rs yards of
them, There was one old bull among
them who seemed to be chief of the
harem. He came out into an open park
and challenged the other bulls to COM
bat. Pop and Van were lying fiat in
the timber taking in the circus. The
old patriarch would whistle, and soon a
young bull would answer him and trot
out ready to take up the challenge, and
fight for some favorite. They would
spar around for some little time, for
points, then back off and rush together
like two battering rams, below and tear
up the earth. One such round would
usually end the fight, and the young
ster would take to the timber, fully sat
isfed. Another challenge from the old
patriarch and another young bull
would appear on the ground to take
up the gauntlet, only to get an awful
drubbing and be sent back to the timber
cowed. This challenge was given and
accepted by four different bulls, and
all were beaten back to their corners
and over the line. After two hours Of
hard fighting he called time on the old
hill and shot him

hating the German tongue, which is
used in the army, when the call tvor-

obeyed, and shed their blood upon the
battle fields Of sunny Italy and in the
forests of Bohemia.
"The Austrian empire, once the holy
Roman empire, has lost her place in the
front rank of nations because of her
decaying aristocracy which yielded only
towards and weaklings for the captains
of her host, and because of her narrow
ing conservatism which kept alive the
spirit of persecution, and which him
dered any real progress. But Hungary,
though under Austrian rule, has stead
lily been gaining, and her progress, as I
have said, is due largely to her brave,
industrious and iberal-minded peas
antry."

THE "WAGO OWANHAN."

A Mysterious Light That Hangs In
. West Virginia Canyon.
An old-time West Virginia wonder
is again causing quite discussion
among the reading and thinking peo-
pie of Wyoming and adjoining coun-
ties. The wonder" referred to is the
mysterious light which has been known
since times almost prehistoric as the
"Wago Owanhan.'' 81,
This phenomenal light, says the st.
Louis Republic, appears to emanate
from a certain spot on the precipitous
sides of the great Pat WEISS canyon.
Il casts it's ghostly sheen across the
waters Of the river, lighting the sur
rcundings not with a "sickly, pale,
white light" but with phosphorescent
glow of sufficient brightness to make
the reading Of a newspaper or a book
possible on the darkest night. Accord
ing to some Investigators of the ''Wago
Owanhan'' the light does not emanate
from any spot on the canyons side, but
hangs out over the river, like a luminous
cloud or fog. This appears to have been
the case at the time when Prof. Tohlurc
and Mr.. I. q. Christian the latter of
Oceana, W. Va.-visited the spot. On
the 18th and 10th Of last February an
expedition, headed by Mr.. Christian,
again visited the ''Wago Owanhan.''
Snow was falling rapidly at the time,
and Mr.. Christian says that every fake,
when it reached a height of about 900
feet above the water, would blaze out
with dazzling brightness" and remain
luminous until it reached the surface.
A scientific investigation of the phe-
nomenon will be made. 2

SETTLED in NOVA SCOTIA.
Colonial Americans Who Early Made

Colonial Americans Who Early Made
Their Homes in Canada. 55
Many loyalists, particularly from
New England, had fed to Nova Scotia
before the close of the war, and settled
en- the spot where the city of ST. John
now stands. This gave one objective
point, at any rate, says Macmillan's
Magazine, to the much larger band Of
exiles who at the peace were forced to
seek new homes at short notice; and
in a single year the new settlements
grew to some 10000 souls. Men of all
classes focked there, officers and SOL
diers, clergymen and lawyers, farmers,
mechanics and merchants. They were:
naturally much above the average Of
ordinary emigrants, both in character,
education and intelligence; but all, or.
nearly all, were equally destitute and
forced to begin the battle of life afresh.
A. year later New Brunswick was sep
arated from Nova Scotia, endowed with
a council and home assembly, and the
capitol moved to the present site at
Fredericton.
The first council included many we'll
known New England names, such as,
Putnam, Winslow, Allen and Willard.
It included, also, a late judge of the
supreme court of New York, another:
distinguished lawyer of that colony,
and several officers of the loyal reggii-
ments. Both the New York and the
Virginia branch of the Robinsons, one
of the wealthiest and most influential
families in colonial America, were here
represented, and to this day are conspic-
uous in upper Canada.
