JOINED FOR LIFE.-The residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Mcdonald, on
Burke street, this city, was the
scene of very pretty wedding, on
Wednesday evening last, the con.
tracing parties being their daugh-
ter, Miss Ella May, and Mr.. John T.
Sullivan. About seventy-fve guests
were present to witness the joining
OF the two young lives for life. The
ceremony was conducted by Rev. Il.
j. McKeefry of the Catholic Church,
and was performed in a solemn and
impressive manner. Promptly at
1855, the time set, the bridal process.
sion entered the room to the strains
of Lohengrin's wedding march, exc
cuted on the organ by Miss Cora
Poisal, cousin of the bride. The
bride and groom were preceded by
the bridesmaid and groomsman, Miss
Caroline Henry and Mr.. Vim. Nc
Donald. The wedding was very
pretty-the bride being attired in a
costume OF white silk, trimmed in
white lace, and carried La France
roses. The bridesmaids costume
was of cream crepe, and she also car
ried La France roses. The groom
and his attendant wore black. After
congratulations an elegant and ex.
quislte supper was served to all
present, which added great pleasure
and satisfaction to the occasion after
which several hours of merriment
and happiness were enjoyed. The
bride is an accomplished and pretty
young lady, while John is popu-
lar and well-known young man, and
is machinist in the B. & O, shops.
Many beautiful presents were show
cred upon them by their numerous
friends. We extend our best wishes.
May their joys be as deep as the
ocean, their sorrow as light as its
foam.

DEATH OF A VENERABLE AND T

DEATH OF A VENERABLE AND RE.
SPECIFIED CITIzEN.-Ferdinaud Gerl-
ing, aged II years, 3 months and Is
days, died at his residence on West
King street, on Friday evening April
22d. In our opinion good soul
has gone to rest. An energetic stall
wart, all-round citizen, obedient and
maintaining the enforcement of the
law, for the enforcement of the law,
for the sake Of peace and the growth
of civilization and prosperity, he will
be missed from that line of exper-
fenced thinkers and good advisors,
now so rapidly passing to the prom
ised land. Deceased was born in
Germany, emigrated here "a years
of age and located in Martinsburg,
and had been a continuous resident
for over 81 years. He entered the
service of the B. & O. R. R., and for
years had charge of supplies at this
station, quitting about 1868 to go
into mercantile business, handling a
number of stores of varied character,
such as groceries, bakery, hardware,
and also served as Treasurer OF the
Board of Education of Martinsburg.
He was one of the originators of
Building Associations in this city,
and was secretary for the most OF
them, always giving good counsel
and coming out square. He was
among those who built up Turner
Hall, and was among the remnants
of the Hauragauri Lodge of this
city. A wife and seven children
survive him, and another preceded
him to the Triumph of the Hereafter.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Lutheran Church, and interment
by large concourse of people at
Green Hill Cemetery. Thirty-two
years ago he was among our first ac-
quaintances and he never failed to
be a friend. May he rest in peace
and have Divine favor and blessing

Do Nor LIVE BEYOND Your
MEANs.-The world is full of people
who live beyond their means, and
from year to year some one pays a
portion of their rent, dry goods,
groceries and other bills. They are
civilized barbarians, who forage in
civilization and they are found in
all grades of society. The causes
vary, but the principle one is the at
tempt to keep up appearance. The
misery that comes upon people be-
cause of their living beyond their
means is enormous.

Deafness Cannot be Cared

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu.
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
cd by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

twenty-four hours a sediment or
