WEST POINTERS MUST WAIT.
So Many Appointed That the '9O
Class Will Find Few Vacancies.

So Many Appointed That the 90
Class VIII Find Few Vacancies.
Those cadets who will complete the
four years course at West Point in
June will be confronted with the most
extraordinary situation that ever has
confronted the lot of young aspirants
for army commissions. They will find
on graduation morning probably not
more than a dozen vacancies in all de
partments of the service for some sew
enty men. This condition of affairs is
due to the number of appointments
made from the ranks in the last year
and the comparatively few retirements
and casualties. Usually at this time of
the veal the class about to be gradu-
ated has some thirty or forty vacancies
waiting to be filled. and for years there
has been generally a surplus above
those necessary for the West Pointers.
The result was that a few years ago
many civilians received appointments
in the army. among them the sons of
Gen. Schofield and Senator Sewell.
Despite the d~iscouraging outlook. all
the cadets will be provided for eventu-
ally, as the law directs that all gradu-
ates of West Point shall be commits
stoned in some branch of the army.
The department. therefore, will have
to designate at least sixty of the ca
diets additional second lieutenants and
place them on the list awaiting va
cancies.

The village of Matternich Island, off

the shape of an immense flock of

The number of specialized midgets
days is something startling. 1t is hard
to believe that there were probably as
many of the preceding generation in
need of the same help for defective
vision who never got it. Many family
physicians make it a part of their regu-
lar duty to know that the children in
their charge have normal sight, or
the chance of getting it. There was a
baby in arms, in the street car. recent
ly. a fat, healthy, hearty fellow, whose
bright, rogueiSh eyes looked out
through a pair of spectacles. securely
fastened by an elaborate arrangement
of strings and rubber bands.
Across the car was a woman, who,
looking at the baby told this of her
own eXperience-tbat when she was
twenty-five years old she went to an
oculiSt for treatment of a slight injury
to one of her eyes and then learned,
incidentally, that she had never had
normal sight, and that the constant
strain to which the weak nerves had
always been subjected was the one
certain cause of the agonizing head
aches that she had suffered every little
while from her earliest childhood.
That she had always been delicate and
ailing was the result of the headaches.
naturally. A few weeks treatment
and the use of proper glasses proved
all this true. There was never anoth-
or headache-her splendid constitution
jumped at its chance and she was well
and strong at once.

released late in the afternoon on
bond. 10 in Ardmore today he was
as completely isolated from the world
as though he had remained in Jail,

duct are true. IL Is said that after
he was released he made some very
ugly talks concerning Deputy Pull

white ladies Of Ardmore.
This alleged outrage became known
to few gentlemen, and they re-
solved themselves into a committee
TO wait on the brute and administer
to him a rebuke commensurate with
his offense.

ROMANTIC WEDDING.
Aston Tate Of Elk and Mrs. Sarah Phil

Night at the Hotel Bruce.

Aston Tate, aged SO of Elk, and
Mrs. Sarah A. Phillips, aged AZ OF
Kenton, Ohio, were married last
evening in the parlors OF the Bruce
hotel, Rev. a. T. Galloway offici-
ating. This consummation of plight
ed vows furnishes n bit of the
romantic. in that the bride and
groom had never met until Sunday
afternoon. From what the ARD
MoREITE learns Mr.. Tate was a
widower who yearned for a COM
panion and in order to crafty that
desire he placed an ad in an eastern
matrimonial sheet with the result
that he was answered by the lady
who is now his bride. She was n
buxom widow, il is said with n num-
Der of grown children.
Through their correspondence they
became engaged, subject to their
mutual approval when they should
have met. With their hearts burn
ing with a desire to take unto them
selves n partner n meeting was
arranged to take place in Ardmore.
This was a plan of economy and
acting on the line of campaign map
ped out Mrs. Phillips came from her
home in the Buckeye state alone and
was met at the Bruce Sunday by her
affianced. They were introduced
and held a consultation Sunday

by the wedding last night as above
| stated.
They left today for the home ofthe
groom, who is said to be well TO do

The ARDMoREITE trusts that the
match formed in haste may not be
repented at leisure and that their
united life may continue one OF
uninterrupted bliss.
