10 HELP WELLINGTON.
General supt Nudge Writes a Favor
able Letter.


Mayor w. r. Savage of Wellington
on Saturday last received the following
communication from General Superin-
tendent Nudge Of the Santa Fe i'm reply
to a letter in reference to the train
service on the southern division Of the
road
when the present time card was
made we were pressed to reduce our
train service expense on account of eX-
tremely light earningc. Our passenger
trains out of Wellington seemed to be
doing no business. and we assumed
that most of the passenger business
was going by the Rock Island and it
seemed useless to keep UP the expense
when the trains were not used by the
people.
CAS- have stated heretofore. it is our
desire to do everything for Wellington
that we can consistently, and as the
people seem to feel that this train viii
be an accommodation for them. when
we make new time card we viii at
least arrange train service so as to
have a connection with both the morn
ing and evening train at Mulvane.'

SITES-HARMAN,

On last Wednesday evening at o'clock
Trinity church in this city was crowded to
overlooking by the friends of Miss Christine
Hartman and Mr.. D. P. Sites, of this city, to
witness their marriage, which was celebrated
at that time. The church had been beautiful
ly decorated about the chancel. As the strains
of the wedding march pealed forth from the
organ handled by Prof. F. R. Webb, the bridal
party appeared, First came the ushers-Messrs.
J. D. Clothier, J. Lewis Bumgardner, Percy
Wilson, G. Russell Caldwell, T. Peyton Brown,
Gilpin Wilson, J. Med. McCue and Frank
Hoge. Then came little Miss Elizabeth Har-
man, niece of the bride, with Alex. Tyree, lit
tie son of Mr.W. R. Tyree, bearing flowers; inn
mediately following them came Miss Hartman
on the arm of her brother Thomas ]. Hartman,
and proceeded up the left aisle to the chancel,
where she was met by the groom, who inferred
from the side of the church near the chancel
accompanied by his brother. Mr.. B. f. Sites,
who was his best man. The VOWS were pro-
nounced by the Rev. W. @. Hullihe n, pastor
of the church.
After the ceremony, the bridal party and
many friends repaired to the railway station
where the newly welded couple took the train
for the North. The bride, who is one of the
handsomest and most accomplished of Staun.
toms girls, was beautifully gowned in dark
travelling costume. She is the youngest mem
Der of the family of the late Maj Jno. A. Har
man, who was the celebrated commissary of

A SIN all Business,

Y0st's Weekly, in its effort to make party
capital against the ticket nominated by the
Democratic primary election, attempts to
make our citizens of Irish descent believe that
the Democrats are opposed to their election as
Councilmen, and the reason it gives is, that
J. J. Kilgalen failed to get enough votes in
The first ward to be nominated, though E. M.
Funkhouser, native of this city, and a
worthy business man, also failed; and because
Dennis Brown and William Wholey failed in
the second ward, in which Paul H. Heyden-
reich, j. Frank Kingan, and Prof F. R.
Webb, all good men and excellent citizens,
also failed. This effort on the part of Yosfs
Weekly to prejudice our good Irish citizens
against the Democratic ticket will be futile,
as it is an insult to their intelligence and patr-
otism, as it assumes that they can be made to
vote with Republicans and negroes in prefer
ence to Democrats whom they know to be
their personal and political friends 1t will
be long time, if ever, when our Irish citizens
will prefer the Republican to the Democratic
party.
We are satisfied, from our knowledge of the
character of those who failed to be nominated,
that none will work more zealousIy than they
to elect the ticket nominated They will do
this not only as good Democrats, as they are,
but to resent the imputation that their party
friends have Disseminated against them be-
cause of their nationality, for they know this
is not the case and that it is their duty. as it
will be their pleasure, to give the ticket their
cordial and active support. The place to look
for A. P AS is in the Republican party with
which they cooperate in elections.

The PRAYER of the People.

The earnest prayer of the people who
desire peace and the revival of business
prosperity is, that Congress will adjourn
as soon as possible. That body, with
its insane jingoism, and impotency for
any wise legislation. is-a menace to the
peace and the prosperity of the coun-
try, and there can be no revival of bust
ness or surcease of popular dread and
uneasiness whilst that body remains in
session. The wisest and the most
popular thing its members could do,
would be to adjourn instanter, and go
home, and mot to stand on the order
of their going, but to go at once"
The injury they have done by their
interminable jingoism and informed
ding with other peoples affairs, is in
calculable, whilst the good they have
done is expressed by %. Adjourn! Ad-
iourn

The Republican Convention.

Tomorrow the State Republican conven-
ton will meet here, and many of the dele
gates will arrive to-day. Preparations have
been made at the various hotels, and restaur-
ants for their entertainment, and everything
will be done to make their stay pleasant, that
may suggest itself. 1t is estimated that about
eight hundred delegates will be in attendance,
and that the convention will be one of inter-
est and importance. The city has been dec
Grated in many portions in honor of the
event, notably the Virginia Hotel, which has
bunting and flags arranged in tasteful manner
over its windows and corridors. We regret
that our street-railway is not sufficiently far
advanced to aid the visitors in getting better
view of our city than they will otherwise
have. We hope the weather may be propitious.

The City of Washington is an object of per-

material magnificence. All Americans take
pride in its beautiful avenues majestic archi-
lecture, stately homes, and well stored gall
leries and museums as things of grandeur and
beauty in themselves, apart from the historic
interest with which they are invested. 1t is a
hope and aspiration of all YOUNG AMERICANA
