Golden Wedding.


Jacob Felker and Mary Showalter
were married in Greencastle, Pa, on
April 9, 1916, by Rev. John Rebaugh.
pastor of the Reformed church
They moved to West Virginia in
tIS67, where they have since resided.
Their welded life has been marked
through all these years by peace and
happiness; and they would have cele-
brated the fftieth anniversary of their
marriage with heircharacteristic lack
ofostentation. but for the intervention
of their children and friends. On
Thursday, April 9. by preconcerted
arrangement. B. w. Geyer and wife
of Hedgesville, waited on them at their
home, ostensibly to spend quiet day
with them, but really to hold them
for the surprise that had been pre-
pared for them. At about 10 o'clock,
procession of vehicles turning in at
the gate attracted the attention of Mr..
Felker and his good wife, and their
innocent % guests helped to mystify
, matters by their surnIises as to the
purport of the coming invasion. AS
they dismounted, however, and were
recognized. the good wife was seized
with CONSERVATION at the prospect Of
preparing an adequate meal for the
hungry troop. numbering some thirty
souls. No doubt she would have
proved herself equal to the occasion,
if the invaders had permitted her SO
to tax her def fingers and matronly
genius. But with a forethought
worthy Of the originators Of this low
ing surprise, the party had provided
an abundance of good things for the
inner man all ready to be laid on the
table, and by ? o'clock we sat down
to veritable wedding feast that would
have satisfied the most confirmed epe-
cure. There were no post prandiaI
speeches, nor set speeches Of any sort
during the day. A pair of gold spec
tacles each for the s.bridea and groom, .
with other useful presents, accompan-
led by hearty hand clasps and warm
congratulations, were lovingly be
slowed upon the aged couple, and the
afternoon spent in the enjoyment Of
social converse willremain acherished
memory with all the participants.
The occasion was benedictiou to
all; and all felt strengthening Of
.The lie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love-"
The guests included five children Of
the aged couple. and a long list Of
relatives and friends; Mr.. james Rob

THE OUTDOOR GIRL.

Dainty as a sunbeam, royal as rose,
How the outdoor maiden in her beauty
glowsl
Eyes like morning dewdrops; cheeks like
evening fire;
Voice like liquid rapture of the sunrise
choir.
Round Of limb, and supple strength al
lied with grace;
Sparkle of health's rubies in her win
some face,
How she seems to queen it over all The
With the witching magic of her slender
handl
Juno in her chariot drawn by peacocks
gay;
Aphrodite rising cloudlike from the
spray
Goddesses outrivaledl Now the poets
kneel
To the charm of beauty pedaling a
wheel.
Womanhood supernal-beauiy at its
height
Hail the outdoor maiden, vision of de-
light
Spin and flash and glitter, steed of bur-
nished thews;
Thus through woman's life blood God
the race renews.

Soon from the bonds of Winter,

A Sample Cob of Democratic Har-
mony.

n Sample uoD or Democratic far-
mony.
The Parkersburg Sentinel copies
the Monroe Watchman's admonition
against running General Watts for
Governor and adds:
well, how would Bob Carr suit
you! He hasn't been much of a
Democratic ofice-holder?
1--WE think we understand the SEN
tinel. We answer respectfully and
without the least wish to trample
gratuitously upon anybody's toes that
Colonel Carr ought not for a moment
be thought of as Democratic nomi-
nee on our State ticket. Col Carr
doubtless has strong hold upon a
good many Democrats in certain
localities, but to tell the sober, simple
truth his personality is extremely
Objectionable to the masses of the
party in the State at large. We say
this reluctantly and only because
it ought to be said by somebody.
Hardened cynics may mock as they
please, but there never has been
time when it was more important to
the Democratic party that its nomi-
nees should be men of absolutely pure
character and stainless lives. We do
not wish to be captious, but these con-
siderations, together with that of
political acceptability, ought not to
be ignored in the making up of our
ticket.
Now, what is the opinion of the
Sentinel?"-Monroe Waterman.
1--WE are not willing to assume the
responsibility for endorsing that part
of the above quotation which is per
sonal to Col Carr. In fact we know
nothing of him except as Republican
politician and Office holder, and as a
constant and apparently very much
interested spectator around the legis-
lature. For many years, at least
eight, perhaps more, he held office by
virtue Of his Republican affiliations
If he ever was, or is now a Democrat
it is one of the very many things that
we do not know. If he wants to Join
the Democratic party we would GER
tainly welcome him to the ranks, but
our inclination would lead us to insist
that he serves a while on suspicion
before he can be given the most prof.
liable Office in the gift of the people.
In the coming campaign in West
Virginia Democratic success is not
improbable. But to assure it the
candidates must be men of ability,
and men whose Democracy does not
need a certificate or an affidavit to
support it.
The nomination of Mr.. Carr would
in our opinion, be serious political
mistake, and one that would result
disastrously to the ticket. '-Parkers-
burg Sentinel.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-02-28

Some little excitement was occa-
stoned here yesterday by the publica-
ton of the press telegram from Chi
cago stating that a test had been made
of the market at Denver, with the re-
suit that workers were shown to be
literally supplied with tickets, mostly
of the issue of the Union Pacific, this
being in violation of the agreement
under which the Rio Grande Western
and Midland joined the Western asso-
citation. It was further set out that
this had caused much uneasiness
among the western roads, and it was
intimated that if the conditions re-
ferred to were continued, the Western
and Midland would likely withdraw
from the association.
From all that can be learned, there
seems to be little foundation for such
a statement. At the offices of the Rio
Grande Western it was announced that
they had no knowledge whatever of
any such trouble, and the statement
was emphatically made that the sit
uation was more satisfactory now than
it had been for years. The agreements
were being lived up to, and SO far as
anyone knew there was no demoraliZa-
ton of the market.
The alternate meeting Of the West
ern Passenger association will be held
at Denver on Monday, when all the
lines will lbe represented. Mr.. Wad-
leigh, the Western passenger agent,
leaves for that city tomorrow.

INTO THE FIELD.

HAVANA, Feb. 27.-The newly ar
rived battaaions, MurciA and Luzon,
have reached Matanzas and will be
sent into the field against the insur-
gents immediately. But the new troops
from Spain will operate in conjunc-
ton with battaIions which have be-
come seasoned to the climate and IA
miliar with the tricks of the enemy,
as 1t has been proved that this has
beneficial effect upon young soldiers.
The insurgents have plundered the
villages of Mantilla and Calvario, near
this city, and their au6acity is really
astonishing in view of the strong force
of troops in and about Havana.
Colonel Ricas at Yanagua and Luz
has been engaged with the band OF in
surgentS, who always retreated before
his advance
At Zayay Jagua the insurgents have
also been defeated with loss, and at
Paimarito the insurgent Major Vega
was captured.
skirnaishes in which the Spanish
were victorious have also occurred at
Vaila.
Captain General Weyler has been
consulted by the home government as
to the propriety of holding elections in
the island. He has replied he thinks
they ought to be held. Otherwise the
insurgents will gain an important ad-
vantage and especially on the question
Of belligerency.
The Diario Del Marina has an edi-
torial criticising the Spanish premier,
Senior Canovas del Castillo, for his dis
solution of the cortes and his decis-
ion to hold an election in the island.
It Is considered by loyalfsts, says this
journal. that the anti-patriotic reform
ist party no longer exists, and the
old Spaniards and reformists have

A PLEA FOR
THE CUBANS.
Continued from Page u

The senator spoke with contempt of
the statements that the Cubans We're
negroes and mulattos. So much more
should they have our sympathy, said
he. Liberty" said he, lives with
the poor and oppressed, not with the
wealth and powerful. It throbs in the
breast of the Gagged bird and has gone
with martyrs to the stake and kissed
their burning lips as the spirit winged
its flight to God. Liberty cannot be
extinguished when a people are unan-
imous in defense of their rights which
God has given them
An expression of sympathy was a
farce, continued the senator. He de-
MED and repudiated the doctrine that
every vestige of Spanish power must
disappear from the island before we
COULD RECOGNIZE CUBA
as independent. We were a God-fear-
ing people to stand dumbly by while
this bloody Spanish general drove these
people into pen and slaughtered
themI
Mr.. Vest closed as follows: Shall
we, the great exempiar of republican
institutions throughout the world, de-
clare that in our opinion the people
of Cuba are able to maintain their in
dependence and have achieved it? Are
we to wait until that island is desola-
ted by fire and sword? Are we, a
Christian and God-fearing people, TO
stand silent and dumb while the
Spanish governor general declares he
intends to pen up the people of Cuba
and butcher them into subjugation to
the Spanish throne? Sir, if we do it,
God will curse us.
IF we do this thing and stand here
7IT74i d0ca,-% 1o-
splendid island, you may be certain
that the time will come when there
will be retribution on US as a people,
because we have not been true to the
task
ASSIGNED US. BY PROVIDENCE,
because we have not cherished the
legacy of self-goVernment, as be-
queathed to US by our fathers"
Mr.. Gray responded briefly He said
that if eloquence could free Cuba, then
the burning words just uttered would
set her free; but he looked at the Ques-
ton from a dispassionate standpoint,
and he could not see how Cuba had
established an actual state of indie
pendence warranting a recognition OF
such state by the United States.
Mr.. Vest-Was not our condition
more desperate when France recog-
nized us?
Mr.. Gray-Yes; but France sent her
fleet and her armies and made war
against the country expressing u.s.
Mr.. Vest pointed out that Holland
and Belgium had recognized the in
dependence of the United States with
out sending fleets and armies, and had
acted long before British dominion
had entirely disappeared in this coun-
try. In war, as in politics, said Mr.
Vest. the expression Of the belief of
the times brought about the realization
of the belief expressed
Mr.. Gray argued as a legal PROPOSE
ton that the United States could not
yet recognize the Cubans as 1ndepen-
dents.
At 4 o'clock Mr.. Sherman suggested
that the debate go over until tomorrow
and an adjournment accordingly was
taken.

HEALY AND THE IRISH.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-Timothy Healy,
in addressing the Irish National feder-
alton at Dublin today, accused John
Dillon of getting himself elected to
the Craftsmanship Of the party by In
trigue and in disregard of the feel
ing of the country. His position. how
ever, Mr. Healy continued, entitled him
to forbearance as long as he kept
within the broad lines of policy, Mr..
Healy would rather Ireland were gov
erned as crown colony, he said. than
as IL is now governed.
If, when the Liberals are returned
to power" he added, nothing is done
for home rule, the Irish members
should provoke our expulsion from
parliament. After a few years of gov
erninE Ireland without representatives.

WAR WITH SPAIN.
Main Question Discussed by the
Committee ON Foreign Affairs.

Main Question Discussed by the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2z-In the
committee on foreign affairs today the
main question discussed at the meet
ing was the expediency Of adopting
resolutions which Mr.. Draper claimed
might precipitate the United States
into a war with Spain, as Senator Nor
gan had affirmed on the floor of the
senate, but it was generally agreed,
after talking the matter over, that
Spain could possibly take no offense at
the recognition of belligerency, 9hich
simply made the United States a neu-
trail as between the combatants.
Mr.. Newlands wanted to go even
further than the resolutions and adopt
the Cameron resolution, to recognize
the independence of Cuba.
There is probability that before
the vote is taken in the senate upon
the Cuban resolution pending there. it
will be amended by adding the minor
ity resolution reported by Senator
Cameron, requesting the president Of
the United States to. use his good Of
fees with Spain to secure "a recognf-
ton of Cuban independence. A ma
jority of the committee. including
Senator Sherman, are believed to be
favorable to this proposition. Senator
Morgan, however, viii oppose it on the
ground that the two propositions are
inconsistent

that most gentlemen would have ia

yet he has not word or regret or
apology in his letter to Mr.. Phelps We
