LAANNA, AUG. 10.-A very pretty home
wedding was celebrated at the home of
the brides parents, in the village of Salem,
on Wednesday, Aug 5th. The contracting
parties were, Mr.. William Carlton of Laa-
ma, and Miss Bessie, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. S. f.. Mitchell. Promptly at the noon
hour, the young couple, accompanied by
ID. Frey and Emma Lancaster, both of
South Stirling, took their places before the
officiating clergyman, ]. A. Boyce, and the
irrevocable knot was tied, after which CON
gratulations were offered. The company
then proceeded to the dining room, where
refreshments were served. The bride was
dressed in pure white India linen, trimmed
with lace and ribbon, the groom in the CON
ventional black. Excepting the immedi-
ate family were there, but few of their
most intimate friends invited. The bride
was the recipient of many handsome and
useful presents. The happy couple came
at once to their future home, where about
thirty of Wills friends met them, and the
remainder of the day and evening were
passed pleasantly by all.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Houck spent last
Friday in Scranton.
The poung American Ball Club of Ilaa-
ma and South Stirling added another vic
tory to their extended list of games, beat
ing the Moscow club on their own grounds
last Saturday afternoon, Aug sth. At
first it was thought they were prettily even
ly matched, but after the seventh inning
the Y. AS lead, the game closing with our
boys in the score ahead.
Prayer meetings lead by different MEM
bers of the congregation are held every
other Sunday evening, alternating with
our regular preaching service.
A severe electric storm struck this place
about nine o'clock Sunday evening. during
which barn owned by Mr. Whitaker,
was struck by lightning, burning it to the
ground. We understand the barn was
filled with hay and will be heavy loss to
him.
The Y. P. S. G. E. of Laanna, held an

The expressed hope of the worthy minis

the breach in this church might be healed
seemed to be premonitory of that much
wished for result. Recently however the
dispensers of vocal and instrumental har-

sy regarding a set of ivories. This condi-
tion of things should not exist. The ivo-
ries are certainly a set of beauties, and the
music as well as the appearance Of the
choir is thereby correspondingly improved

Low Wages ana High Prices-An Engi-
neers Experience.
Twas amused at the way one of
the conductors with whom 1 talked
referred to his salary. I asked bin
what his position was worth.
"Well. he said, "that's a pretty
hard question to answer. When the
month is up the paymaster hands
me out $50 Mexican dollars, and it
depends upon what the market price
of these dollars happens to be on
that particular day as to what
amount | have earned during the
month. Sometimes the dollars are
worth 50 cents each, sometimes So
cents each, sometimes more or less,
but the truth of it is / never know
what have earned until I investi-
gate and learn the market quotations
on Mexican dollars. "
"Well," l said, chow do your eX-
penses in Mexico compare with ex-
penses that you would have in the
United States?"
"My expenses in Mexico are great
er," he said. "For a while 1 was ON
the upper end of the road and board
ed at San Antonio, Tex. There 1
paid $1S per month board. Now l
am boarding in Torreon and pay $40
per month board in Mexican money.
But what goes hardest with me is
that have to pay so much for wear
ing apparel. If could wear what
is made here in Mexico l could get
it very cheaply, but I have to buy
American shirts, American shoes
and hats, and, indeed, practically
everything ! wear comes from the
United States. They don't manu-
facture articles of a character here
in Mexico suitable for our use, so
when 1 buy a pair of shoes l have to
pay double value and the duty added
That makes this pair of shoes that 1
am wearing worth 81. in Mexican
money, and l could buy the same
shoes in Texas for 81. so or SO. The
same is true about everything that
wear, and I'll tell you the truth,
| friend, when ! paid my board and
settled for the things that I've been
compelled to buy during the month
1 wouldn't be a welcome guest in a

MATAMoRAs, Aug. 19.-A good story is
told of the heat at Washington, d. @.
During the extra session in August, three
years ago, one of the Congressman was
walking down Pennsylvania avenue, in
the course of his walk he met the devil,
they greeted each other very cordially and
had most congenial conversation. The
Congressman noted the brightness of the
DEVILS eye, his tail was also finely kinked
and he was spruced up so that he looked
quite dandyfled. Several days after, they
met again in about the same place, this
time Mr.. DEVILS eye was sunken, his tail
looked long and slinky, and his whole as
pect was forlorn Said the Congressman :
'My friend, what is the matter, you look
all worn out? Has this been sample of
your weather" The devil replied: Eyes"

Farmer Horribly Maltreated and After
ward Buried Alive.
TOLEDO, o., Sept 21.-The whitecaps
have created another sensation in this
county by whipping a man named
Huntsman. who lives at Holland sta
ton. ten miles from here, and burying
him alive. The story has only leaked out,
although the outrage was committed
on Septemb Der 0. The Huntsmans, I'M
der threats, were afraid to communi-
cate to the authorities the story. but
neighbors learned the facts and in
formed the police yesterday. The
facts, as reported to the police, are
that two of the Huntsman children,
coming from the post office, were picked
up on the road by two men in
buggy and accused of stealing a
pocket-boolx containing $50. The next
night a party of men came to the
Huntsman out of bed, seized and
dragged him outside and beat and
abused him in a frightfu1 manner.
They then carried him to a grave and :,
putting him in it, covered him with
earth. After while they dug him up.
Then they beat and abused him sec
ond time, and buried him again. Then
they dug him up for the second time
and again dashed him and then drove
away. The two children were also
dashed. The affair occurred about
midnight. Huntsman is a respectable,

The F1orentine EpIcure.

Your typical Florentine is epicurean
to the toe tips. His enthusiasts and
yearnings are quite other than those
of the northerner. Give him two
francs for life and he will toll no more.
He may be a marquis and seventh or
eighth in direct descent. but he will
be content to forego the assertion of
his rank SO he may thenceforward en-
joy the priceless boon of leisure and
independence. His leisure he will dis
sipate at the cafe, with perhaps two
three-half-penny sweet fluids per diem;
and you may study the effect of his
independence in his court1y manners,
even though his hat be worn at the
brim and his coat-back be deplorably
shiny. He is a pellucid brook-shal-
low as you please, yet engaging for
his pellucidity- AS he sits on the red
velvet cushions and looks forth at the
carriages and gowns of fashion in the
Via lorna buoni he shows no trace of
envy on his open countenance. What.
in effect. have those rich ones more
than he, save the ennui of modishness
and the indigestion of high feeding?

A Profitable Ghost.

We both admire and respect the
Essex rector who, having discovered q
miraculous face in his chancel win
dow. is determined to make the best of
it. The explanation, as he frankly
tells us. is quite simple. Some years
ago he had the window stippled over
with transparent paint to soften the
glare of the sun. and that paint is now
taking off, thus revealing the faces
below. But if the faces themselves
are not miraculous, the ''haking OFF,
of the paint at this particular moment
is, he maintains, obviously providen-
tial: las many visitors have been
focking to see the so-called miracle,
am now utilizing it towards helping
to pay off some heavy debts on the
church and schools of this poor agri-
cultural parish; and if the result fol-
lows, I stall look upon the pictures as
a gift from God, and thankfully re-
ceive any help towards the above OBJ
jects." This is indeed putting the mir
acle on a sound business-like footing.
We only wish other exploiters of mira
cles were equally frank. Westminster

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 21.-The rumor has
been persistently circulated that the
Gould railway lines have been coerced
in their political views by those in au-

reply to question whether coercion
had been used, Vice President Warner,

their own convictions. A majority of
them are for sound money. This does
not mean that they are repu Bile

timida lion has been used, nor will any
be permitted by the management, nor
is any employee in danger of being dis
charged or in any manner losing his
position on account of his political
