AT END OF THIRTY YEARS.
Marriage of Two Quakers After q Long
Courtship.


Abram Maris, bachelor, aged 60 years,
and Miss Sarah B. Williams, spinster,
aged AZ years, residents of the Quaker
village of Damascus, o., were married
several days ago, it is just learned. The
ceremony was as simple and as quiet
us it was possible to make it. And yet
the wedding was the elimination of a
courtship of 30 years. For an even
longer time the now happy couple had
attended the old brick Quaker church
and had met in the church Sunday after
Sunday. A smile and a word at the
door was about all the courtship this
remarkable copule had done. Why
they did not mate while the bloom Of
youth was theirs was often asked
among the Quaker folk of the commu-
nifty, but the reason is only known to
themselves and perhaps to Cupid. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Maris are known to be
among the wealthiest members of the
Society of Friends in the state. They
are away on their wedding tour to
Niagara Falls and the summer resorts
along the seashore.

Charles Baker Undergoes Great Agony
from Rattlesnake Virus. =.
A rattlesnake nearly five feet long bit
Charles Baker. a lad Is years old, who
was at work in a wheat field, near Bur-
lington. Ia, and in turning over some
grain stepped upon the snake, receiving
its fangs in his leg. His entire body
began to swell and soon reached i'm
mense proportions, the skin being
stretched almost to the bursting point.
He was given large doses of whisky
with but little effect except to stop the
swelling, but aside from that he has
suffered the greatest agony, and his life
is in danger. He has turned black as q
negro in the face and over the greater
portion of his body, and no remedy
seems to stop the spread of the discol-
Grafton or ease his pain. Farm hands
killed the snake after a fight of several
minutes, in which one of them had a
narrow escape from being bitten.

AN. EXCITING ADVENTURE.
A Trap Set for Chicken Thieves, But 1t
Catches a Large Eagle Instead.

John Stokes, of Henderson township,
Clearield county, Pa, had an exciting
adventure with an eagle the other day.
He had set trap on top of fence post
to catch chicken thieves. When he Wis
tied the place next morning a large
eagle was in the trap. Stokes unfast-
ened the chain from the post, intending
to pull the bird to the barn, but the
eagle rose in the air, taking the trap
and pulling the chain through the mans
hands. The hooks caught in Stokes
clothes and dragged him around until
they tore loose, when the eagle sailed
eway, taking along the trap. Stokes
declares that the bird was IL feet from
tip to tip.

BALLOONS FOR CUBA.
Scheme of Louis Jardinas for Attacking
and Capturing Havana


Louis Jardinas, who is in New York,
recently cane from Cuba to put him.
self in touch with the members of the
local delegation of patriots in respect to
a new method of warfare which he
hopes to put intp use. 1t has occurred
to Mr.. 'Jardinas that the Cubans have
not been successful in entering the city
of Havana and other important places
by ordinary means such places could be
attacked from an elevation, and the idea
of constructing war balloons and TAX
ing them south is now being strongly
argued by him. Mr.. Jardinas is a ma
tive born Cuban, and has many griev-
ances against Spain. His father was
Gen. Jardinas, who fought in the ten
years war. He was the owner of an es-
tate near the city of Baracoa, in the
southeastern part of the province of
Santiago de Cuba, which was confs-
Gated. The use of the war balloon as a
means by which to drop the explosives
into the forts of the enemy occurred to
Mr.. Jardinas some time ago, and he has
now so far advanced his scheme that he
will make test of a patent at Waverly,
N. j., very shortly. The patent consists
of continuance which, attached to a
balloon, will allow the operator to shift
it at will in any direction in spite of
wind and weather.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-A bi e
deal in horse flesh has recently
been consummated that will prove
a startling surprise to the turf

book maker, at present booking on

more to the establishment than the
services of any one of the men.
When man enters the room the
parrot calls out: "Gentleman wants
to be shaved" As a customer is
on the point of leaving a chair the
bird calls out sharply: Gentleman,
pay your money" The bird never gets
mixed up in his remarks and the ad-
yertisement proves attractive.

Steamship Fares.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Latest New
York mail advices, state that rep.
resentatives of the Continental
steamship lines sailing between
New York and ports on the con-
tinent of Europe, have arrived at
an agreement increasing the first
and second cabin passage rates by
about seven per cent. The increase
will amount to from FL to f2 on
each passage. The lines which are
included in this agreement at the
North German Lloyd, the Ham
burg.American. the Netherlands
American, the Red Star, and the
French lines. The British lines
arrived at a similar agreement
some months ago. The cause OF
the increase, the steamship agents
declare, is that the accommoda.
lions on ocean lines has beer
readily improved without cor
Responding increase in price, until
the margin Of profit has been alb
sorbed the rate from Europe will
remain the same at present un
til October Is; and the steerag,
rate will remain unchanged. '

For Congress.
AGAINST Monopolies.

The Populists have queer ideas
about more things than one. One
of their we'll known vagaries is the
desire for The government ownership
of railroads and telegraphs. They
lift up their voices and cry loud and
long against tie government ebay
ing a monopoly of the banking bust
ness" and yet they would have all
the railroads, and all the telegraph
lines consolidated into a giant mo-
nopoly, to be owned by the govern
ment and manipulated by politicians
who might be crafty enough to get
into the various Offices OF control,
without regard to fitness.
Would some OF the advocates Of
the scheme please state where the
good results would como in, should
the government 80 into the railroad
business? Would rates on passen-
ger trains or freishts DO cheaper?
Would not the roads require as many
sa,aried men thon as now, and would
they not receive the same amount
ofpay?
If the government should cut the
rates down below the present figures
there would DO a deficit in operating
expenses, which would have to be
provided for. Common sense teaches
that the only way to make the short
ago up would be by taxation, and
then wouldn't there be howl about
the burden of taxation?
The railroads, if let alone, will
take care of themselves, and give The
people equitable rates. Healthy com
petition will adjust the rates oil right
without government ownership 0,
the dictation of arbitrary commits
sions, composed oftentimes of mer
who do not know whether a rat
fixed by them is equally just to tbt
people and the railroads or not.

The farmers of this country need
protection, but not the kiud of pro-
lection asked by Eastern mannfact-
urers. They need protection against
gamblers who manipulate prices Of
farm products to suit themselves, and
against the extortion of monopo1ies,
and against rascality of every sort.
Farmers don't ask that they be pro.
teeted at the expense Of the people,
but they do ask protection against
robbers. Hands off and fair play is
what the farmers want. This assured
and the farmers will be satisfied, and
they will take care of themselves
