CHURCH ALTAR.
Pretty Wedding Of W. n. Eicholts
and Miss Nay Atkinson.

Two Of Abilene's most deserving
young people were married last Thurs
day and have gone 10 their new home
Marysville. Mo-, where the groom is
engaged in business. They were ".
Martin Eicholtz and Miss May Atkin-
son, eldest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. Atkinson. Both have grown
up in this city, they are home folks
esteemed and respected by ALL and
their.many friends wish for them all
the happiness that earth can give
The ceremony occurred in the Pres
byterian church at o'clock and was
witnessed by about 80 guests. The
church was lavishly decorated, golden
rod being the prevailing flower. The
altar rail was covered with it while
similax, asparagus, potted plants ana
a wishbone under which the bridal
party stood completed a beautiful
floral picture.
A chorus choir consisting OF DIR.
and Mrs. M. H. Hewett, John Lott, K.
L. Broughton, Misses Maude Eames'
Grace Peters, Gertrude Kirby sang
the Bridal Chorus from "Lohengrin"
as a prelude, T. E. Dewey's artistic
touch making sweet accompaniment
at the organ.
Such was the setting when the
bridal party entered. By the north
aisle came the officiating clergyman,
Rev. DR.. F. s. Blayney, the groom,
+. A. Wilcox and E. H. Forney at
tendants, W. A. Matteson, grooms-

Snider as usher, Misses Lulu Hallam,
Louise Speer, Hattie Eicholtz' brides
maids, Miss Maude Atkinson. maid
Of honor, Mr.. c. V. McElhaney and
bis sister, the bride.

brides roses. Miss Hallam wore
blue organdie and carried cream
roses; Miss Maude Atkinson wore
pink organdie, pink roses; Miss
Eicholtz, blue organdie, cream roses;
Miss Speer, pink organdie, pink roses.
The ceremony was simple and in
cluded few earnest words upon the
blessedness of matrimony by DR..
Blayney. Mr.. McElhaney gave the
bride away. Then to the strains OF
Memberships wedding march was the
exit, and life had new aspect to the
two who had entered the sanctuary
twain and went forth ono.
The bridal party and immediate
relatives went, to the Atkinson home
on East Fourth where was served a
dainty lunch. The house was gaily
decorated and the BRIDES table was
garlanded in white and Joyous hour
was spent at the tables. Numerous
presents, including many rich and
costly gifts, testified to the esteem in
which the young people are held
The Merchants Military band SER
enaded the happy couple and at 1880
Mr.. and Mrs. Eicholtz were driven to
the Santa Fe depot, leaving forashort
visit in Kansas City and Slater, Mo-,
after which they go to their new

one of Abilenes most artistic and
daintily arranged wedding events was
over.

There is absolutely no doubt as to
what action the East will take on the
silver que 'tion. Mr.. Bryan will not
change 100 votes in the state by his
talks. Fifty thousand people well
coined him to Philadelphia and lis
tened to his speeches, but it does not
follow that they propose to vote for
him, or will even for minute toler-
ate the doctrines he has tried to teach
them. The city will give 100000
majority for Mckinley Its act in
receiving him was courteous, as was
proper to a candidate for president.
The people listened but were uncon-
WINGED at the close.

and know him personally and respect
him for his ability. II he had chosen
to keep in touch with the ideas OF
government that are sound and safe,
he has abilities that would have made
him conspicuous as a leader of men.
He is now travelling over the land
preaching the doctrine of sectional
hatred and trying to raise feeling be-
tween the ciasscs of citizens. His
remarks are strange and dangerous
and liable to incite trouble. His
efforts to create feeling between
citizens are vicious, and why he
should try to do it is quite beyond my
comprehension.
II spent one day in Chicago on my
way west and spoke at the MONDAY
meeting there. | never talked to a
more responsive audience than 1t and
was delighted with the meeting. At
Harrisburg, prior to starting west,

seventy-tive vice presidents and when
the list was announced it was stated
publicly that forty of the number
were Democrats, who we're this year
to vote the Republican ticket for the
first time. That state of affairs pre-
walls all over the state and pretty
nearly all over the east. | am going

The meeting Friday afternoon was a
successful one, considering that the
country roads are in bad shape owing
to last nights rain. The wigwam
was well filled, probably 900 or 1000
people being present. All parts Of
the county were represented and
there were many ladies in the audi.
ence. The hall was more handsome
ly decorated than at anytime during
the campaign, bunting, flags, golden
rod and sunhowers making pretty
picture. Mckinley and Hobart por'
traits stood on easels on the rostrum.

The publishing house Of Little, Brown
& Co. of Boston produces handsome
books, and their list offers a variety Of
attractions for the general reader, as well
as specialties of unusual value.
An important WORK just from the press
bearing their name is a stately octave
volume containing the hitherto Unpub-
lished Memoirs of Mgr. de Salamcn, In
ternuncio at Paris During the Rsvolu-
ton, 179O-ls01. Hardly less interesting
than the Memoirs themselves is the curl
Gus story told in the introduction thereto
by Abbe Bridier. Until the discovery Of
Mgr. de Salamon' e manuscript a few years
ago, practically nothing was known OF
its existence. 1t appears that the Me-
moirs were written as personal tribute
to a lady Of the time, TO whose repeated
request for an account of his experiences
during the September massacres OF 1913,
the Internuncio responded, and then was
led naturally to continue therefrom the
story of the times as he shared ", and
the Memoirs resulted. The circumstances
of the bringing out OF these in three
manuscript volumes, copied from the
original manuscript ana properly certi-
fed, though tbe original had disappeared
after remaining unknown except to
very few persons for more than three
quarters of q century, was not unusual OF
itself, but that, after private and public
treasures Of the sort mad been searched
through SO thoroughly for so many
wears. anything Of real value should have
turned up so late is remarkable, and
makes the romance of the manuscript q
very pretty one.
Few OF the peers and priests arrested

courts OF those dreadful September days

As the total circulation Of gold, silver,

OoO, 900 Of goc out OF circulation would
reduce the money in circulation about

are now g OF money in circulation then
there would be but 81.
Such radical and sudden contraction
of the currency would Of itself alone,
and'entirely apart from any panic on ac-
count OF the depreciation Of the cur
renoy, cause stringepcy and panic such
as we have never known. But comiog
on top of the other panic, the ruin II
would spread would be difficult to de-
scribe.
Thus railroad stocks with gold mort
cages ahead of them (as gold must be
bought 10 pay interest, thus increasing II
not doubling this Gxed charge, and to
that extent dimininhing or entirely wip-
ing out the ret earni,gs applicable to
dividends with earnings diminished by

The bottom would nave dropped out Of
them. Banks therefore would become
absolutely unable to realize on their col
lateral, and though a combination might
save the strongest for time, ultimately
they too, must go to the wall.
The decentralization would be complete.
In this general crash all factories, mills
building operations, etc, would shut
down, and all classes OF workmen, me-
chanics and laborers, except farm hands,
be generally thrown out of employment.
Under the keen ompetition OF this
mass OF unemployed for the little work
left, it is clear that wages, instead OF
rising, must in ths near future, fall, even
though paid for in deprecated dollars,
because OF the many who want employ
nent, and must take IL at any price to
save themselves and their families from
starving.
With no wages, the unemployed
laborers could atuy neither food nor
clothing. and the diminished demand
would cause the prices Of grain, cotton
anu all farm products to fall, as is always
the case even in small panics; and such
want, suffering and misery would be en-
tailed UPON the labcring classes, as we
never have known before.
OF course all mortgages past doe or in
