The great Georgia senator, Ben Hill,
in the last speech he ever made dc.
clarea: Il never enter Virginia that l
do not feel l should uncover my head
in reverence to her great dead and in
respect to her great living men, for l
tell you that never in the worlds his
tory has any nation produced SO many
men SO great as Virginia has,"
Patriotic Americans, who keep up
with European news, have their pride
in their country sadly humbled when
they read how the newspapers across
the sea ridicule the American Congress
for warning all the rest of the world
against interfering, in the slightest de-
gree, with the affairs of this entire
hemisphere, while it at the same time
lie actively interfering in the affairs of
Turkey. in which all Europe is deeply
interested. Bnt wisdom has long since
fed the Capitol of the United States.

which to revive it, made another lingo
speech in the Senate Monday, FEB l7th.

advanced ground that even II Vene'

The capacity of furnaces in blast
was, on the first of the month, accord
ing to the "Iron Age" about $1,000
tons of pig iron a week less than it was
when the production reached it's maxi
mum on November 1. There has been
ut the same time an increase in the
stocks on hand, which shows that the
cutting down of production did not be-
gin any too soon. The year promises
to be a satisfactory one in the iron and
steel trade, but the number OF plants
we have creates constant temptation
to overproduction, and the iron ano
steel interest will be fortunate if it sue
ceeds in adjusting the supply. when
the future is looking rather tempting,
to the demand without going through
a distressing period of excessive produc-
ton followed by prolonged idleness.-

cause 1 expect to get married" He
further said that he was twenty-one
years old, and that the lady he was
going to marry he had never seen, but
he had been corresponding with her at
her home in Illinois for about a year,
and had exchanged photographs with
her.
Yesterday afternoon young Chase ar
rived in Poughkeepsie all dressed ready
for the ceremony, He had bouton-
Mere of lilies of the valley in his but
tonhole, and was 50 self-conscious that
he at once attracted attention as he
fingered about the Central Hudson sta
ton waiting for the arrival Of the lady
from the west. When the train came in
he spied her at once as she allghted,
and the two We're soon engaged in eager
converse tion., After a few minutes the
friendly hackman was notified that they
We're ready, and the two We're driven
to the parsonage of the Hedding Meth
odlst Episcopal church.
The Rev Ezra Tinker was found at
home and asked to perform the cere-
mony. The bride is fine-looking young
woman, who bore the fatigue Of her
long journey well. and when, through
the friendly offices Of Mrs. Tinker, she
had removed some of the traces of
travel, she made an exceedingly charm
ing bride. The ceremony was perform
ed by DR.. Tinker, and was a matter
of but very few minutes. When the
two had been made one the bride turn
ed to Mrs. Tinker and remarked: II
think have earned my husband, for
came through fire and water to get
him."
She explained that at Albany the
train she was on passed through fire
raging there, and the firemen played
the hose on it to keep it from harm
She laughed and said she was almost
tired out, but was happy that she had
gone through what she had for the
man she wanted to marry. She gave
her age as twenty-one.
To a newspaper man the bridegroom
denied that he had won his bride
through a matrimonial agency. He APP
peared very much put out and confused,
and finally said he had known his bride
for years. that she was born at Croton,
and had been brought up there. In the
marriage certificate Miss Manchester
gave her. home as Marengo, III. Mr..
Chase insisted, however, that she lived
at Croton and had gone to Illinois a
month ago to see her grandparents,
who are i'll there, and that they had
arranged to meet and marry in this
way just for the novelty of the thing.
After a visit to Croton the happy cou-
pie will enjoy an extended wedding
tour through the south.

THAT BOSTON AND ALBANY STORY
A FUTURE UNION.
New York and Boston were filled with
runners on Saturday that President
Bliss of the Boston and Albany railroad
had offered to sell at 5000 per share a
controlling interest in his road to the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company and that the latter
company had bid $3.50 per share for a
control. These ruInors were later de-
MED by the officials of both companies,
and that no offer whatever had been
made for the control of the Boston and
Albany, and that no negotiations for
union are contemplated. AS the Van
derbilts and j. P. Morgan & Co are
interested in both properties some peo-
pie think that it is only question of
time when both properties will be
united.
