Kalamazoo Female Minister Officiates
at Her Own Wedding.

KALAMAZOO, MICH, Jan. Rev.
Caroline ]. Bartlett, minister of the
Peoples Church, sprung a surprise on
the church people this evening at a
reception which she announced from
the pulpit last Sunday.
During the rendition of a musical
programme Miss Bartlett disappeared
and a few moments later appeared in
bridal costume and marched toward
the altar, while DR.. Augustus w.
Crane, her betrothed, came forward
from the opposite direction. Rev.
Jenkin Lloyd Jones, pastor of All
Souls Church, Chicago, appeared on
the platform. Miss Bartlett and DIR.
Crane, in accordance with a ceremony
which they had arranged, then mar
ried themselves and Rev. Mr.. Jones
pronounced the benediction.
The bride has been a minister here
for eight years, and through her eff
forts the Peoples Church was built.
DIR. Crane is a native OF Adrain, a
graduate of the Michigan University
and a practicing physician.
The couple did not leave the city,
and will not change either of their
professional careers.

THE staunchest friend of the trusts
is high protective tariff. The people
of the United States will never free
themselves from the grinding domina-
ton of associated capital and greed
until they apply the axe to the root of
oppression. The radical cure lies in
the repeal law, State or national, bear
ing upon revenue, currency, transpor-
tation, land which foster the concen-
tration of wealth, which gives one in
dividual or one community an advant-
age W another or which in any de-
gree infringes upon the irrefragable
maxim, equal rights to all and spec
ial privileges to none" Antitrust
laws, with officer competent and will
ing to enforce them, are a necessity
under existing conditions, but rational
reform of the conditions would make
them needless.

"The farmer is the backbone of the
horse industry" says the american
Sportsman. "No matter what branch,
it is from his pastures or barns that
the horse of commerce is drawn. We
would not have it understood that the
farmer does it all. He is a sort of
John the Baptist, preparing the way
for those whose business it is to fit the
horse for his many useful avocations.
He is not a trainer or developer. He
is a producer of the various classes of
horses sought after by the buyers.
From the farms of America come the
draft, carriage, saddle and track horse.
Those farms devoted exclusively to
the breeding of any given type of
horse a no more begin to supply the
demand than can one county in any
good farming state produce wheat
enough for this country. AS a class,
farmers evince great discretion in
the selection of seed grains and seek
to improve both yield and quality.
Can we say as much regarding their
present attitude toward the horse
breeding problem? They should re-
allze a profit on the horses they mark
ct, and will do so when they breed as
they select their seed grain"

How Prnfifs Ara Made

A large portion of the community
holds the opinion that rich men ac-
quire their fortunes by charging an
exorbitant profit for their goods. This
is a mistake. Profits are made in two
ways: by economy of production and
by a profit on the sale. Economy of
production does not mean that low
wages are paid for labor, but it means
that a sharp lookout has been kept
against waste; there has been econ
omy of shipment, economy of service
in the travelling field, economy and
good Judgment in the purchase of sup
plies. These r the factors that,
carefully watched, mean a profit to
the maker of the goods, without any
trespass being made On good wages.
Then in the sale of goods only a small
profit is charged. Competition is too
sharp to permit of any other practice.
The surplus is not made up from a
large profit on a few articles sold, but
from a small profit on many articles
sold. The consumer is seldom wrong
ed in the matter of profit on merchan-
disc of any class. The dealer who
sells 10000 articles at a profit of 10
cents each has made more money than
the dealer who sold 5000 articles at a
profit of Is cents each,

Accountable
Catarrh.

It Is not reasonable to expect to be
cured of any disease, no matter how
constant and persevering the treat
ment, when that treatment is alto
gether misdirected, and can not rossi-
bly, reach the trouble.
This explains why those afflicted
with catarrh meet with so much dis
enlargement, Though they faithfully
take the usual treatment consisting of
sprays, washes, ETC., and pass through
the ummer without much discomfort,
as soon as cold weather returns, they
find themselves more firmly in the grip
of the disease than ever Such results
could hardly be expected if the proper
treatment had been given. {,
Amy n who has had experience
with catarrh will readily admit that it
is one of the most obstinate of diseases;
it is easy to see, therefore. that it is
deep-seated, and that no remedy which
merely reaches the surface can have
the slightest effect upon it. The only
known cure for catarrh is a real blood
remedy, N which gets at the seat of
the disease-the cause of the trouble
and forces 1t from the system. Such a
remedy is S. S. 8. (Swift's S~pecifc).~

THE Macon City Times give good
advice in regard to the duties of in
dividuals as follows: The year 1887
may be big with events. How much
of these each individual may appro-
pirate is the work of his own hand and
his own thought. No intelligent citi-
zen can neglect the policies and par
ties that control his government. That
would be to surrender his citizenship.
That would be TO shirk his civic duty.
No American can be guilty of that.
But while ne discharges this duty
every man should remember his in
diyidual fortune, his individual success
or failure doea not depend entirely
upon the parties or policies that con-
troll the government, and that he can
not lie down and whine and say he is
unfortunate and failed because of the
success OF SOME party or defeat OF
some policy. Lot each man remember
that his W a well as the commune
ty's success and prosperity depends
upon the individual efforts of each
citizen,
