When the bells in the old cathedral.
beneath which rcposed the bones of
Columbus, rang forth the hour of nine,
their somewhat dscordant notes fell
upon the ear of Felipe Coras, as he was
seated in brilliantly lighted cafe,
leisurcly slipping glass of wine, while
he racked his brain in the effort to solve
some abstrusc problem.

been whispered abroad that he is in the
habit of uttering rcbellious sentiments.
Yes, that is what | will do. Keep an
eye upon the movements of the father;
perchance thereby cnsnarc the son; and
in so doing compel the naughty daurh-
ter to listen to my suit which now she
spurns."
Having arrived at this conclusion. the
miscreant Cuban drained his glass to
the bottom, arose, and. tightening his
sword-belt, proceeded toward the door

As the officer was stepping out upon

they had separated perhaps ten feet,

populace to gather upon the street

Peake-Cockrell.

One of the prettiest marriages that
has occurred in Union in some time
took place Monday morning at 10
o'clock at the home of Mr.. Sparks on
Church street, when Mr.. Frank Peake
and Miss Mary Cockrell were united
in the holy bonds Of matrimony by
Rev. Mr.. Carlisle. 1t was quiet home
wedding, only the relatives and most
intimate friends being present. The
parlor where the ceremony was per-
formed was most beautifully decorated
with palms, hot-house plants and cut
flowers. The bride was handsomely
attired in green and white tailor
made travelling gown, with hat and
gloves to match. Mr.. Peake is one OF
our most popular young men and is
held in high esteem by all who know
him. Miss Cockrell, whose former
home was Harper's Ferry, W. Va, is
well-known in Union and by her wo-
manliness and charming personality
has won many friends and we are glad
to claim her for our own. The happy
young couple left on the ten o'clock
train for Glenn Springs to visit the
home of the groom's parents.
A large number of beautiful bridal
presents were received, among which
were many handsome pieces of silver.

a Chance to sestow a Real Charity.

The Children's Fresh Air Society OF
Baltimore, 4 w. Saratoga street, would
like to enlist the charitably disposed
people of this town and vicinity in the
enterprise of entertaining for two
weeks as many children as homes can
be secured fora scheme which Is de-
nominated "the most beautiful Of all
charities. An instance is given.
Last season a party in Harrisonburg,
Va. interested himself in our work
and so aroused his community that he
was enabled to secure homes FOX over
three hundred children. This neces-
stated our sending a special train of
six cars to that place to deliver the
children. The entire community was
greatly interested in the project.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity
to bestow real charity-one that will
not be dissipated ere it reaches the
benefciaries. 1t is one of the good
ways, too, to advertise the towns SUI
perior attractions as a summer resort.
The first thing to be done is the for
nation of a Fresh Air Committee, to
which any charitably inclined citizen
may lead. The society Will then send
a representative to fully explain the
plan, which, however, can be boiled
down to this-the society will pay all
necessary expenses except the two
weeks board.
Who will lead?

Grand Confederate Reunion.

There is striking contrast between
the condition of the disabled veterans
who wore the blue and those who wore
the gray. The one is cared for by the
gratitude of a great nation, the other
dependent upon the love of an impov-
erished people.
The supreme nobility of southern
women, those who sent fathers, broth
ers, husbands and lovers into battle
for truths sake, is yet watehful of the
veteran whose step has become feeble,
and those whose lot has fallen in hard
places.
The Daughters of the COnfederacy
of Berkeley county are making extern
sive arrangements for a reunion to be
held July 18th, on the lawn of Sena-
tor Faulkner's beautiful and historic
home, Boydville.
There will be dinner during the day,
and grand fete champetre in the
evening. No trouble or expense has
been spared to invent amusements to
suit the tastes of all. The comfort of
ladies and children will be a special
feature of the occasion. There the old
generation will meet the new, and the
veterans will meet the sons and daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy, younger
people in whose hearts the pride of he
roic ancestry reigns supreme; and to-
gether all will testify by their contri-
buttons their appreciation of the noble
cause for which the occasion is had.
All southern veterans of the State
who can come are cordially invited to
be present.
The next day, July l6, there will
be conference of 1.-THE Confederate
Daughters of West Virginia" Bust
ness of Importance will be transacted.
The Daughters of Berkeley take pleas
ure in extending an invitation to all
the delegates, who will be provided
with homes, and we ask those who can
come to communicate with Miss Col
ston as soon as possible.

Settled at Last.

1t is now well-established fact that
women are smarter than men and girls
are smarter than boys. Out Of l22
pupils in the grammar schools Of Chi
cago who attained a certain percentage
of efficiency, only twenty-five were
boys. This would indicate that girls
are about four times as bright as boys.
The real reason of the objection to the
admission of girls to one Of the English
universities and to some of the colleges
in this country by unmannerly mas
culines is that they are jealous. They
know that the girls will outstrip them
in the race up the hill for knowledge.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Wheeling LntelHgencer, appears to be
very joyful over the tariff of 81 cents
ton on coal and the heavy duty on
lumber imposed by the Dingley tariff
bill, which, it says, will add $2O,OOO,-
900 to the business of West Virginia
if maintained for four years. The IN
telL;gencer says that Senator Elkins
worked untiringly for this tariff. You
bet he did. He was working for his
own pocketbook-that's what he is in
the Senate for. Who owns the coal
and timber of West Virginia? Who
will get the benefit of that $50, 000,-
900 in increased Irofts-the miner
and wood-chopper or the owner and
boss? This one item Of twenty mil
lions is but sample of the many
schemes for plundering the people by
the Dingley bill-placed there by the
"untiring efforts" of those Senators
who are to be the benefciaries. The
Mte1Egencer is quite right in basing
its calculations for four years only.
The country will be awfully sick of the
Dingley bill long before that time.

Two Armies Regular and Irregular

To which would you prefer TO belong? The
regular, undoubtedly. The irregulars are,
admittedly, the most numerous, but they are
in a very undesirable state of no-discipline.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will soop reme-
dy this want in disordered liver or bowels.
Biliousness manifests itself in yellowness OF
tongue, morning nausea, discomfort in the
vicinity of the liver, vertigo and sick head
ache. Hosts of people suffer thus. These
signs OF INSTRUMENTATION to the goyernance
OF health. together with an irregular condi-
ton OF the bowels, are soon regulated by the
Bitters, which also overcomes malaria, dys-
pepsie, rheumatism, neuralgia. nervousness
and kidney trouble. AS means OF checking
premature decay, Fastening convalescence,
and mitigating the inflrmaties OF age, the
great tonic is without a parallel.
