DEAF MUTES SOUGHT HYMEN.
1t Took a PerpIexed Mayor Nearly
an Hour to Marry Them.
>nccsQt to the JcrSeU Cftu Ne1rs.

TRENTON, Aug. 5. 1sss.-Mayor Emory
N. Yard had a warm job yesterday
when he married two deaf mutes under
more or less trying circumstances The
bride was Margaret Scott and the groom
James Hiilock, both bordering on thirty
five years, but were ignorant of what
is required for a marriage.
The two presented themselves at the
Federal Building, where Mayor Yard is
the Deputy United States Marshal. He
first tried to talk to them with a mega
phone, but they could not be made to
understand that a ring and a fee We're
needed. County Clerk Frank Brandt
stood up for the silent couple, and he
wrote down the ceremony on a pad for
the benefit of the pair. 1t took over an
hour to marry them.

gone stark crazy. 1t was only pure
physical exhaustion that finally
brought the house by degrees back into
the chairs. The chairman's gavel
banged for order and in the brief lull
he said This convention still has
enough delegates to do business with.
Again applause iol1e forth and several
delegates stood upon chairs waiting for
chance to speak. In a few minutes
the chair found lulling place in the
applause to say: "A gentleman from
Montana who did not go wants TO adj
dress you" Again hats, flags and UNI
brellas were waved, again the chorus
OF thousands Of threats sent forth
peans and the delegate with white
face waited. He was Lee Mantle, OF
Montana. When he could be heard he
said that he had, with those who re-
tired personal objection to the gold
plank, but that while his people cb-
jected to 1t and reserved the right
with their constituents to enter pro-
test, still he did not believe it was nee
essary to leave at this juncture. There
are other great issues that the repub-
liean party could carry out and he
should stand by it to that extent. He
would refer the conventions platform
to the people of Montana for decision.
An attempt by Henderson, OF Iowa. to
interrupt him was cried down by the
delegates and spectators and he was
allowed to speak to a finish When he
had finished Chairman Thurston rec
ognized Senator Brown, OF Utah. He
said that while he joined his silver col
leagues in their protest against the
reading OF silver out of the party. still
he believed that there were greater Is
sues than even the financial supremacy
or the country, --tariff. our marine and
many other things talked about in his
party. He then moved that the con-
yention allow three alternates from the
state OF Utah to sit in the convention

Senator Cannon folded his document.
deliberately and turned and reaching
across the desk, grasped Thurston by
the hand. Teller did the same The
two then shook hands with Foraker
and turned toward the steps leading
down to the right center aisle. Mean
time. men, women and children from
the pit to the last tiers in the galleries
had climbed upon their chairs, as
Teller and Cannon stepped IN the aisle
and their silver colleagues rose and
followed them. AS the men marched
along the pathway to the door yell

admiration, defiance. derision and rage
was non-descrp. shout in which
joined. The band in the gallery broke
into the tumu't, but its brazen clango-
made no impression on the vocal storm
and was drowned in it. Finally when
the shout had somewhat subsidized, the
noise of the band asserted itself by de-
grees in the shape of the melody, Co
lumbia, the Gem of the Ocean. Twice
and three times the strain was repeat
ed and then a voice took up the re-
frain, Three cheers for the red, white
and blue, and then by degrees the
whole assembly took UP the chorus
with a magnificent burst and sang, the
Army and navy, forever; three cheers
for the red, white and blue. Two
stanzas were sung by this chorus of
twelve thousand and the band. firing of
it's work, dropped out OF the song.
Meantime the file of the silyermen had
disappeared beyond the bust of Grant
before the main entrance, but still the
crowd stood in their chairs and sang.
The desertion of the silver men failed
to lessen their ardor and they sang
even without accompaniment except
the waving of their umbrellas and
flags. At length the band men re-
gained their wind and joined again,
but the chorus swelled to such tenn
pest that the instruments were unheard
twenty feet away. Men waved their
arms and embraced their neighbors,
and fought for something to swing
above their heads, as though they had

the clear ringing tones which have 80
often reused the chamber of the United
States senate. II was not until toward
the close of his speech that he became
both impressive and pathetic. His re-
view OF his long service in the party
vsibly affected him. AS he realized
the step he was about to take he drew
himself together for a final appeal and
declared with an earnestness that i'm
pressed all who heard him that in his
opinion the mortality. the religion and
the salvation OF the country were at
stake. There was deep feeling, almost
pathos, in the senator's voice, and
those nearest could detect the glimmer
az tears when he said there was heart
burnings aud grief in the sacrifice
which he and his colleagues We're 70

demonstration arose when Teller fold

stirred him and his gestures at times
we're almost fierce. But his general
tone was one of sadness ard regret. He
was given a most respectful hearing by
the delegates, hut except for this sym
