the youngest of the eight daught-
ers of the host and hostess, all of whom

groom, gracefully holding the bridal bou-
quet of white roses. The large number of

and esteem in which the bride ana groom

MI and Mrs. Palmer have taken rooms for
the present with Nine. Coffin, High St.,
Deering.

Mr.. George L. Hyde of Old Orchard

NEW YEAR.

With profound satisfaction and
glad anticipation do we welcome
the coming Of the New Year and
tears for the departing of the old
year for we know what it has been
and will only hope that tho new
Year will continue to be better
socially, morally, Intellectually
and financially A brief review
of the industrial condition of the
world show marked improvements
the labor problom and financial
question that one year ago agitat~
ed the whole world. The war in
Cuba will soon reach it's termina-
ton and probably the annexation
of the Hawaii Island and gold dis
covery in the Klondyke of Alaska
will all add grea9 interest at the
beginning Of the incoming year.
We hope that the year 1898 will
mark an epoch in the history of
the world. We believe that so
tar as mankind is elevated the
world in general will be better,
such has been the history of the
lines and will continue.

THE END OF Il REMAK
ABLE CAREER.

Prehaps one of the best known
men of his race passed away Dec. 22
at Washington, D. G. was William
w. Browne, who was born a slave
in 1849 in the state of Georgia.
Soon after the war began he joined
the United States navy and became
a gunner on the United States gun
boat and stayed with the boat until
the surrender of Vicksburg. He
was mustered out withe the rank of
Sergeant Major. In 1881 he went
to Virginia and organized the order
of True Reformer, which has accom-.
plished so much in the way of ad-
vancing the race. AT Petersburg he
organized an Industrial bank, and
was its first president. He has done
more for his people than any one
man in his state, and perhaps he is
the wealthiest Negro in Virginia
His remains was taken by a special
train to Richmond for burial.

WILL 4 CURRENCY BILL
BE PASSED?

A great many think and say there
is no way of getting any currency
reform, either by the passage of the
Gage bill or some other measure
that will give the same relief. The
outcry is not against the bill offered
but they say it is usless to make the
attempt, because the senate has a
majority of silverites and therefore
the bill would meet its defeat in that
body. We have always been against
this kind of talk, for in the first
place we never know what can be
done in way of legislation until we
try, in the second place we do not
believe there will be. such a majority
when bill of the nature, that Mr..
Gage has recommended. And again
it would be the duty of the republi-
cans to formulate their bill and put
it through the house and let the re-
sponsibility of its defeat rest on the
shoulders of the sllverites, they can
and will be reached BY the perNe.
