Marriage of MIR. Frank Bell and
Miss Carrie Day.


One of the prettiest weddings it
has been our happiness to attend
was that celebrated yesterday af-
ternoon at Mr.. John r. COUGHS
handsome home, on Kanawha, OPP
posite Ambrosia, which could only
have looked more attractive in
budding spring. The occasion was
the uniting in marriage of Mr..
Frank Bell, of Gallipolis, and Miss
Carrie Day, one of the most popu=
lar young ladies of Point Pleasant
The services was conducted by
Rev. E. A. Grover, of this place,
and he arranged for the celebration
of the holy rites of matrimony be-
tween the young people as beauti-
full, simple and affecting ceremo-
ny as we have attended The
bride looked charmingly, although
being a strictly private affair, the
becoming attributes of veil and
flowers were dispensed with.
After the knot had been tied the
party, which comprised merely the
nearest personal friends and rela-
tives, partook of delicious little
wedding feast, during which the
heartiest congratulations were
showered upon the fortunate bride
groom and every felicity wished
the charming bride, in which the
Register joins most heartily. Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Bell will remain a
few days as guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
John R. Couch, and will then pro-
coed to their future home in CALI
polls, which gains by our loss in
the accession to its ranks of a
young lady in every way qualified
to adorn it's social circles.

There has not yet appeared an
answer to the following paragraph
in Mr.. Bryan's able letter on wheat
and silver: eff the republicans de-
sire to claim credit for the high
prices of wheat they must assume
the responsibility for the famine
in India. Will any republican
convention point with pride to
famine as evidence that the repub-
lican party is reedeeming its cam
paign pledges? Will the republi-
can party pledge itself to use it's
best efforts to continue the famine
abroad, as it pledged itself last
year to promote international BIZ
metallism?"

SPATN,S ANSWER,

ter Woodford's preliminary ulti-
matum." It is in no way vague,
hesitating or apologize. On the
contrary, it is bold, defiant, ag-
gressive. Summarized in Mad
rid dispatch, the answer is this:
"Spain resolutely asserts her de-
termination to settle the Cuban
question herself without foreign
assistance or interference of any
kind. She declines to fix any date
for the pacifcation of Cuba, which
she proposes to bring about she
sees fit by force of arms and by
political reforms eliminating in
autonomy )-combined."
This means that Blanco is to re-
new the slaughter in Cuba where
Weyler left off. 1t means that the
war is to be prosecuted with all
the power of Spain, and that not
withstanding the extent of Ameri-
can interests in the island, and ou1
kinsbip to the Cuban people, oun
desires and wishes in the premises
are not to be consulted
What is Mckinley going to dc
about it? Will he accept the re-
buff, and continue to utilize the
navy.of the United States as q
marine police for Spain2 We were
informed when General Woodford
sailed for Spain that he took in
his inside pocket positive de
mand from this government that
the war in Cuba should be brought
to close. We were also informed
that when the usual diplomatic
formula was enacted, and Spain
made answer to the representa-
tons of our government, that pos
sitive action would then be taken.
There were limitations at the time
that this was mere bluff to in
fuence domestic politics, that its
main object was to popularize the
administrator in Ohio, where the
chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee is making the
fight of his life. Now we shall
see what kind of stuff Mckinley is
made of. Spain has politely de-
fed the United States government
and served notice that our wishes
regarding Cuba are not to be en-
tertained or respected. Spain did
not even have consideration enough
for Mckinley to withhold her an
swer until after the elections.
IF there were an Andrew Jack
son in the White House or Mar
cy or a Seward in the state depart
ment, it is easy to imagine what
the next move would be. The
North Atlantic squadron would be
concentrated in the harbor of Ha-
vana. General Woodford would
be directed to retire from Spain,
Minister de LONE would be pre-
sented with his passports, a de-
mand would be made for the in
slant release of every American
citizen in the Spanish dungeons,
and indemnifcation of every suffer
ing American interest would be
insisted on. It remains to be seen
what President Mckinley will do.
SPANS answer gives him a great
opportunity. Charleston Gazette.

our local gold bug papers about the
wonderful wave of prosperity that
is now washing our shores, and
then see standing advertisement
which reads: House, barn, trees

$780," Now why sell at such
a loss if times are SO awful
good? oh, Consistency! But this
is not consistency or prosperity
either.

Vegetation and Moisture.

exhaustive experiments on vegeta-
ton of various sorts have shown chat
the degree of moisture required varies
considerably at different stages Of the
growth and development of plants. 1t
is curious to note how nature provides
for this moisture at the proper seasons.
More water is required when the first
leaves are coming out. This period gen.
orally occurs when the ground is very
wet from the spring SHOWS and rains.
After the leaves are out less moisture
is needed until the blossOming season.
.heu a great deal is required. The best
fruit develops when the ground AMI at
nlosphere is comparatively dry. Con-
slant, moisture is not desirable, as 1t 10
though: to impair the keeping quail
ties of fruit, especially IL accompanied
by high degree of heat. A very wet
season favors quantity in fruit, while
n tolcrably dry one gives much finer
quality. II is a well understood fact
that potatoes grown in very wet seq
sons are much less desirable in flavor
and quality than when the soil is fair
ly light and dry. During the past sea-
son great difficulty has been expert
cnced in keeping fruit on account of
the amount of moisture, and the high
temperature of portion Of the sum

Making a Map OF Picking.

How military map of Peking was
secretly made is told by Gen. Sir Rob
ert Biddulph. During the China war
of 1860, in which Sir Robert was en-
gagged, our army was greatly embar-
raised by the absence of any map of
the city. But it happened that the
Russian legation had, only few
months before, oontrived to make
map in spite of the jealous watchful-
ness of the Chinese. They had sent
an officer in small covered wagon,
such as they use to carry their women
about, completely covered in. An in
dictator was attached to the wheel.
He drove for a certain distance, to a
certain crossroad, for example, and
atook a shot" with his instrument;
then down the next road; and in that
way made complete plan of Picking
with all it's streets and roads, both in
the Tartar city and the Chinese city.
Gen. Ignatieff, who produced the map,
offered its use to the English. There
were no photographers then attached
to the army, but an Italian pho
tographer, who had followed the army
for his own private purposes, being
set to work, produced a number OF
copies, which proved extremely SER

mainly swim on the surface of the

this position which brings the shoals
of herring to the surface. Their count

the microscopic larvae of fixed shells,
such as the barnacle, which begins life
in this form, first as a one-eyed swim
