Their Pensions.

Their Pensions.
The large colony of women wis have
gone TO HalIowell and Gardner, Me,
to prey upon the inmates of the soldiers
home at this place are in q state of
panic over the recent suggestion of
Pension Commissioner Evans, who has
recommended 10 congress that no pen
sions be granted the widows of soldiers
who are married hereafter, says the
New York Sun.
Many veterans who live at the home
are trapped into marriage every year by
women who seek the $12 n month pen
sion which viii come to them on the
death of them husba dis. Most of these
women have had regulations and no
character. Having led gay lives in the
cities. until ,Srefr beauty is gone, theT
seek marriage with the old soldiers for
the sole purpose of inheriting pensions.
After capturing husbands most of the
women go back to the cities and cause
nc more trouble until death carries off
the veterans and the widows pensions
may be obtained.
There nre q dozen places near the
home. all of which do thriving bust
ness by luring the veterans inside and
filing them up with liquor until they
fall an easy prey to the. women wbo
aYe waiting fer husbands. In case a
maH refuses to drink and shows resist
ance he is quieted with a club, or any
thing else that comes handy. Last
spring an iamate Of the hone~mas killed
in free fight in one of these dens.
Commissioner Evans declaration
strikes at the root of the evil. and Is
causing the women to redouble their
efforts. Unless they get husbands be-
fore congress meets, they fear their
prospects of pensions will fade. New
women are coming here from Boston
and New York. and the dives are wide
open. A man who wears Grand Army
badge can stay drunk fer NORTH and
never spend q cent. The LEGAL police are
making efforts to close the places, but
as fast as one is shut up others are
started. and the business goes on as
t,piskly as ever.

Brown-Eells,

The marriage Wednesday night OF
Miss Alice Eells, youngest daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. a. Eells, to Mr.. ID.
c. Brown, of San Louis Potose, Mexico,
was very brilliant affair. 1.
To a wedding there always attaches
great interest; especially is this true
when one has been SO popular as the
bride of this occasion. 8
The house was elaborately trimmed
with palms, ferns, smilax, roses and
chrysanthemuhs; all arranged with
artistic grace. The lights from many
candles lent charm only possible with
the lamps of our fathers. +
Promptly at o'clock to the strains
of Mendelssohn's Wedding March,
played by the Marietta Orchestra, the
bridal party entered the parlor-the
bride on the arm of her father, the
groom with the minister, DIR. Boyd.
The ceremony of the church of En-.
gland, said by DR.. Boyd, was witnessed
by about forty people-relatives and
near friends. After the marriage the
party enjoyed refreshments consisting
of croquettes, a salad, almonds, sher-
bet, cake and coffee.
The bride looked very charming in a
gown Of crystal silk. with ruffies of
tulle trimmed with satin ribbon. She
also wore veil and carried a bunch of
lilies of the valley
From o'clock until 10 reception
was held, and mass of people filled
the house until the limit hour had
arrived.
Receiving the guests were Mr.. and
Mrs. Eells, Misses Carrie and Jean
Eells, Mr.. and Mrs. Brown. They re-
ceiyed in the front parlor and gracious.
ly took care to see that their guests
received hearty welcome.
Assisting in the handling of the
guests were Miss Lockwood, Miss Nc.
Kay, Miss Clerc, Miss Cooke, Miss Cur.
tbs and Miss Nettie Lockwood. The
refreshments were served buffet, and
aside from a few little awkward dem
onstrations by the men was very much
enjoyed.
Many beautiful presents were re-
ceived by the bride, tokens of regard
from friends far aud near.
Mr.. and Mrs Brown left at midnight
for New York where they will remain
about week, and will then proceed
by steamer to their home in Mexico.

ADoTHER INJUNCTION SUIT.
County Auditor Refuses to Pay Water
Rent for the Infrmary.

County Auditor Refuses to Pay Water
Rent for the Inflrmary.
Prosecuting Attorney-elect j. G.
Brenan has prepared the petition for
another injunction suit in which the
county is plaintiff and the Trustees of
the city water works defendants.
County Auditor Patterson having re-
fused to pay the bills submitted for
furnishing water to the County Infirm-
airy, the water works Trustees immedi-
ately gave notice that the water
would be shut off on December 10th,
and the injunction suit is brought by
the county to prevent such action.
Tho ground for the Auditors refusal
to pay the bills is a section of the Ohio
Statutes which provides that water
shall be furnished free to such institu-
tions as the Infirmary. We are in
formed that in similar case Judge
Jones held that the water works of
Gallipolis could not collect for supply
ing the Epileptic Hospital, which is a
state instit ution. The point to be de-
cided in the Marietta case is nice one
and the proceedings will be watchod
with interest

Jim M | E."

jimmie was barber,
And worked at the BARRIERS trade.
To fill in his idle moments
He writes poetry, tits said.
Drop in and see old Jimmie,
Take a seat in the barber chair;
He'll shave your face all over,
And neatly trim your hair.
He'll tell you lots of stories
While he combs your hair so sleek;
All about the town of Lowell,
And that little stream, Cats Creek,
Where he used to waue when but boy
For fish, and hunt bull frogs,
And with other boys go swimming
While their clothes hung on the logs.
He'll tell you of his poetry
That he has lately written,
About his cottage on the hill,
His babies, wife and kitten.
He'll tell you of his chicken coop,
Made of dry goods box,
Where his hens can safely lay their eggs
And shield themselves from frost.
And when at last he's done with you,
With his powder, comb and brush,
He'll receive your little offering,
And thank you with blush.
What is said in these few stanzas
Should be taken as joke
May Jimmie live forever!
Is our most ardent hope.
This world is surely better
BY his presence with us here;
We enjoy his quaint old sayings
And treasure them as dear.
And when at last, poor Jimmie,
Your end of lie has come,
You'll not be soon forgotten,
But revered by everyone.

The great feature of the day was the
flower show in both the Senate and the
House. There were many beautiful
floral pieces, but none of them excelled
in magnifoence that upon the desk OF
General Grosvenor, of Ohio.
Somehow or other the sage of Athens
is always in it. 1t eclipsed everything
else, floral or spectacular or eloquent,
and was tribute from the Ohio wool
growers Association. All eyes were
turned toward it, and the surging
crowd tended in that direction. 1t was

composed OF roses and other flowers oi

eRosvENoR's LITTLE LAMB.

At it's base was large lawn of very
green grass, and on this under the tree
stood very realistic lamb, with an
aggressive for wardness of expression
ON its countenance. Every time any
one touched it on the head it gave
forth a very lamblike cry that could
be heard throughout the hall 1t was
obviously the intention of the Ohio
Wool Growers Association to typify
the service of protection General Gros-
venor had done for wool; but all his
colleagues in Congress and many others
persisted in regarding it as representing
the civil service lamb, which General
GrosYenor contemplases leading to
slaughter.
The Ohio member heard the sound of
the lambs voice as he entered the hall.
As soon as possible he had it removed
to another chamber. Accompanying
was letter reading;
