an era of rushing business as this
country has never known.
THE NEW YEAR.

At midnight tonight the old year
expires. Rheumatic of joint, wheezy
OF breath, grizzled OF beard, rheumy
eyed, decrepit, and bent with age,
1896, totters over the precipice and
drops into the fathomless abyss of
the past. He goes unregretted, for
when we stop to consider the hopes
he held out as he danced, naked and
cherub-l like, out of the elsewhere nto
tne now; hopes that he never full
filled, we drop few tears of regret,
and, moved by the spirit of hope,
turn to his baby successor.
1t is useless to ponder over the
things that might have been, the
blasted hopes, the severed friend
ships, the broken resolutions; and it
is, perhaps, equally useless to exult
in new hopes, cement new friendships
or make new resolutions, for 1897
coming on apace, has the same win
ming, open-faced smile, to beguile us
to our hurt and wooius to our un
doing. What matters it, after all,
for it is only another milestone,
passed on the journey. We have
each wiggled in our little sphere
now soaring in the ether of the upper
stratum, and anon groveling In the
mire around the mudsills, yet of i'm
portance only to ourselves. That
we will alternately soar and fall in
1897 as we did during the reign OF
his ancestors, IS beyond question.
So, here's to 1897! We trust
him for smoother pathway and an
easier load; but we trust him be.
cause we have to. May he treat us
well, and the balance of you as well
as he can, is the earnest hope of THF

Young Henry Payne Whitney Is
the Groom Elect.
THE ENGAGEMENT Is ANNOUNCED,

Miss Gertrude, the Eldest Daughter Of
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Soon to Marry
Ex-seoretary whitney's Son = 4 Case
Where True Love Runs smooth.
NEW YORK, June l1.--Mr. and Mira
Cornelius Vanderbilt have made tho for.
NAL announcement of the engagement of
their eldest daughter Miss Gertrude Van
derbilt, TO Mr.. Henry Payne Whitney, eld-
est son OF fo-meT Secretary Of the Navy
William Collins Whitney.
1t Is scarcely necessary to state that this
engagement meets the highest approval of
both families, and it is the outcome of a
long term Of intimacy, dating from early
childhood.
The Vanderbilt mansion and that Of
Mr. Whitney face each other in West Eff
tg-seventh street, and IL is quite natural
that the children OF both houses should be
on more than formal visiting terms. Aside
from this. young whitney was tho inti-
mate friend and chum of young William
Ii. Vanderbilt at Yale university, though
be was one class below.
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt is an attrac-
tive and distinguished looking girl, with
fresh, rosy complexion and dark brown
hair. Eer formal Introduction to society
was made a year ago last January at a
large afternoon reception given in the
superb remodoled mansion of her father
] West Fifty-sevepth street.
Immediately after that event a death in
the VandeFbilt family interfered with the
many festivities planned. and Miss Van
derbilt went abroad Last summer at
Newport Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt gave

daughter to the fashionable world. Their
plans for last winter were again unfortu-
nately changed through another doath in
the family, 30 that since her formal intro
duotion Miss Vanderbilt has been COM
paratively little in society, except at din
ners or the opera
Miss Vanderbilt Is Talented.
Miss Vanderbilt has been most careful
ly educated under tho direction OF her
mother and is talented in many directionsf
being fond of music and fine linRuist.
She has made many trips abroad with her
parents.
Mr.. Henry Payne Whitney Is 2B years
OF age, Just four years the senior of his
flancee. He was graduated from Ynle in
the class of '03 and has but just been
graduated from the Columbia College
Law school. He is devoted to athletic
sports and is anexpert horzeman and polo
player, having a lot Of polo ponies at bis
fathers place Westbury, N. Y. He is a.
member Of the Metropolitan, Kniokbockor
Country. Racquet, Riding and New York
Yacht clubs.
Miss Vanderbilt was one Of the brides
maids at the wedding OF her hanoes sis
ter, Miss Pauline Whitney, to Mr.. Almer'
10 Hugh PAget, which was celebrated in
ST. Thomas church last November.
No plans have yet been formed for the
marriage Of Miss Vanderbilt. 1t is
thought that this will be celebrated carly
noxt fall in New York. Miss Vanderbilt
ia now at the Breakers, In Newport, with
her mother.
This second engagement in the family
Of Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt can be scarce
ly looked upon as a surprise to society.
The frequent rumors of an engagement
have been continually met with denias
for some months.

ments, being in fact similar to what would
be termed forty conversions at a Method
list or Baptist revival. Seventy in all re-
ceived communion. The Spanish speak
ing people, though nominally Catholics,
are generally in this valley not practical
Christians, and it would be out of the
question if overtaken by death for such
to be inferred with the honors of the
church. About half of those who re-
turned to the church we're men who had
not received the sacramento for from ten
to twenty-five years, and could not there
fore claim the name Catholic as their re-
ligion, though they ignorantly believed
themselves to be of the faith because
baptized in the church. Father Kempker
has been working steadily with the end
in view of bringing back the people to
the church and of colonizing them away
from the tougher element. He has secured
ten acre tract just south of town which
this week was laid out in lots which will
be sold only to those of the best char
acter. The father proposes to demon
strate that religion will bring prosperity
and content, while the wages of sin is
misery. All citizens who have the well
fare of the county at heart will rejoice to
know that he is succeeding, and will assist
him in his endeavors to convert the peo-
pie at our doors before sending our help
to foreigners. Current.
