In spite Of all the newer and more
advanced methods that are coming in.
it is refreshing to note that the old
styles of mining still hold sway in
places and are adopted even by big
companies. Last week the Reservation
Star Gold Mining Company, owners of
property in the Pierre's Lake district,
in Idaho, sent up to their mines force
consisting of man, dog and a double
barreled shot gun to begin operations.

1t is rumore1 that John Magann,
who has worked in the DeLamar mine
for the past three years, and who left
here for Portland few weeks since,
has lost his mental equipoise and is
now travelling about in Washington

friends are giving out evil reports
about him. A letter written by him to

ces that he is going to leave the world

HOAR STANDS BY ANDREWS

Providence, r. L, Aug. 13.-Many sub
jects from President Andrews resigna-
ton to the appointment of Mr.. Sherman
as secretary of state we're discussed at a
dinner of the Massachusetts club today.
Senator Hoar was the chief speaker.
Speaking of President Andrews, he said:
II have a tender regard for President
Andrews. wish to put on record my en-
phatic opinion that a college president or
professor has as much right to express
his opinion on a question affecting the
community as any man in the country.
Not only has he the privilege, but the
community has the right to know what
he thinks. Yet 1 cannot see what the
trustees of Brown have done that there
should be all this pow-wow. The trustees
have not closed President Andrews up

SOME QUEER WEDDINGS.

Two Were Conspicuous For Brevity. and
the Third Was Long Drawn Ont.
The courts have held that no particular
ceremony is necessary to render a mar
riage valid. In New York and several 9TH
or states the mere assumption of marital
relations constitutes marriage under the
common law. In Medina, o., an old
Methodist minister who has won more
than a local reputation for his wedding
ceremonies invariably inquiries of the con-
tracing parties, after satisfying himself Of
the legal qualifications, .sDo you two de-
sire to become one?" An affirmative an
swer brings the concluding words of the
ceremony, ''Then you are one"
On the other hand, sometimes a rural
minister who regards his position as one
of the greatest solemnity and Importance
will introduce so much 6owery rhetoric
into his wedding ceremonies as to cause
an extra pull at the groom purse strings.
In Madison, Ga, an official who has won
q great reputation for marrying negro
couples invariably uses this formula:
"Stand up, you poor miserable sinnersl'
he says. "By the authority vested in me
as an officer of the state of Georgia, which
is sometimes called the Empire State of the
South; by the fields of cotton that spread
in snowy wilderness around us; by the
howl of the coon dog and the gourd vine
whose olinging tendrils will shade the en-
trance TO your numDle uWelllng p1nce; py
the red and luscious heart of the wa termel-
on, whose sweetness fills the heart with
Joy; by the. toothsome sweet potato and
the juicy possum by the heavens and the
earth, in the presence of these witnesses, /
pronounce you man and wife!''
In Jefferscnville, Ind, awhile ago an
old justice of the peace who was frequently
called upon by clipping couples from across
the Kentucky state line devised a wedding

sTREATOR TURNED DOWN.
He is the Man Who Hung Iams by
the Thumbs.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Lieut. Col. James
B. Streator of the Tenth regiment, N. G.
p. who gained notoriety during the
Homestead riots by ordering Private
Iams to be suspended by the thumbs and
drummed out of camp, for expressing ap-
prevail of the shooting of H. G. Prick,
was defeated for reelection last night
by Major James E. Barnett. Colonel
Streator has been member of the guard
for sixteen years.
Colonel Streator was beaten by three
votes, the result being 13 to 10, with one
officer absent His defeat was something
of a surprise as he was popular in the
regiment and was regarded as one of the
best officers in the second brigade. 1t is
not thought that the Iams episode had
anything to do with his retirement as a
few days after his famous order and
while the regiment was still in camp at
Homestead, he was reelected for five
years.
This commission has just expired.
Maj Barnett, who succeeds him, is
deputy secretary of Pennsylvania.
