BRILLIANT EVENT.
Popular Young Couple Welded Thursday
Morning.

Popular Young Couple Welded Thursday
Morning.
The Presbyterian church was the
scene of a beautiful wedding ceremony
yesterday morning at o'clock, when
Mr.. w. L. Anthony and Miss Mabel
Boyd were pronounced man and wife
by Rev. F. E. Maddox. The church
was a bower of beauty, the many friends
of this popular couple having spared no
effort to render the affair one to be long
remembered. The decorations were of
the most beautiful nature, the flowers
being arranged with artistic nicely.
For some time Greenwood society has
been on the qui vive for this event, and
those who had anticipated a grand af-
fair were not disappointed. As the time
for the ceremony approached the church
auditorium was the gathering point for
a vast congregation, who were determ-
ined to show their affection for the
young couple. Before the bridal party
entered the church Miss Sarah Lucas
rendered a vocal solo, "Oh, Promise
Me-" with grand effect, and as the
strains Of this beautiful selection died
away, the wedding march in all its
grandeur burst upon the ears of the de-
lighted multitude. This immortal com
position Of Mendelsohn was played by
Mrs. F. P. Hicks and her accomplished
daughter Miss Allie, and as the inspir
ing strains filed the edifice the bridal
party were ushered in by Messrs. j. D.
Crenshaw, jr., and Lee Simms. These
gentlemen were followed by Misses Eat.
man, Mary Eatman and Miss Slack.
Messrs. Sam Gwin, Chas. Gillespie and
Holmes Southworth, Misses Sada KEGS
Ter and Florrie Chapman, Messrs. q.
Locke Arnold and Chas. w. Priestly.
The bride and her maid Of honor. Miss
Lola Boyd, followed the party, and
were met at tho altar by the groom, who
was accompanied by Mr.. W. c. George.
The impressive ceremony which made
two young hearts happy was then per-
formed by Rev. F. E. Maddox. After
the service was concluded, the party
again flied forth and proceeded to the
residence Of the brides mother, where
they remained a short time, receiving
the congratulations Of their friends.
Owing to the quarantine regulations
Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony were unable to
leave on an anticipated trip to Nash
vile, and they removed At once to their
new residence, with Mr.. and Mrs. J. c.
TONNES.
1t Is useless to attempt to portray In
words the beautiful appearance OF the
bridal party, especially the feminine
portion Of It. The costumes Of the y
dies were Of elegant design. and their
= enhanced BY the beauties Of the
wearefs.

MCKTNLEY,s POLICY.

The new administration takes hold
to-day under favoring auspices. The
President is well again, the Inaugural
ton pageant will be brilliant one, be-
fitting great nation and a great occa-
sion, the people are looking forward
with strong hopes as to what the new
upbuilding of business and the return
of prosperity, the President is a man
whose record as citizen, soldier and
law-giver all can most heartily respect,
and altogether the outlook is most
cheering The administration stands
solidly for sound money,-a foundation
upon which financial confidence is
being restored. The new administra-
ton stands also for the enactment of
wise tariff measures that shall ade-
quate1y increase the countrys revenues
and remedy the existing deficiencies, at
the same time promoting and fostering
American industries that need it, to the
benefit of American Wage-workers.
Everything is suspicious for good re-
suits. Even the weather bureau prom
ises a clear, bracing day for the inau-
gural ceremonies. Marked indications
of improvement in business are appar-
ent in all parts of the country. The ma
=: 1T A a w
not be at hand, but many cheering in
dications of a better feeling in the
marts of trade are disclosed. The big
financial move in connection with one
of the great railroad systems of the
country, just contaminated, is a graf
flying sign of the times. The recent
brilliant bit of financing executed by
our own big railroad system, and the
emphasizing thereby of its sound
| financial condition, is of the same graf
| flying character The continued stamp
of approval set by the investing public
upon great railroad and other corpora
lions that are managed in an open and
above-board way, as notably shown in
! the last week or two, is a splendid en-
dorsement of honest and honorable
corporation management. Business is
on the up grade, owing to the restora-
ton of confidence that came with the
glorious national sound money victory
won last November; and with the res
| toration to power to-day of the Repub-
lican party, pledged as it is for sound
money and protection to American in
dustries, the nations courage and hope
fulness are greatly stimulated. There
is grave and important work before the
new administration, requiring wise
| leadership and unselfish patriotic devo-
| ton. 1t is believed that the admins
| tration realizes what is required of it,
and will discharge the duties before it
with honor to itself and the nation.

4 NEEDED CHINGE.

The absurdity in these days of the
old law under which congcf SIS does NOT
convene in regular session until thir-
teen months after the election of its
members, is well set forth in the March
number Of the North American Review.
The law was all right in the days and
times when it was enacted. Those
were the days of travel by stage coach.
Then many days elapsed before the re-
suits of an election could be ascertain
ed. The days of the telegraph were
yet to come and getting the news Of
the results of a state election in the big
states especially, to say nothing of the
returns of national battle Of the bal
lots, was a slow and tedious process.
The great changes that have taken
place in the facilities for news collect
ing, even from the most distant places
in the United States, speak volumes
as to the out of date character of the
old statute in question. A bill was
brought before the congress just de-
parted and will come up again I'M
doubtedly in the F'ifty-fifth congress
providing way to remedy the evil in
qr estion. The reasons for the passage
of the new measure are ably set forth
in the Review, and the New York Sun
in advocating the project says: ut is
plain, in the first place, that the lower
branch of congress ought, at the
earliest practicable time, to embody in
legislation the wishes expressed by the
majority of the people in the election
of the house of representatives. If the
house of representatives is not to re-
fleet promptly and faithfully the senti-
ment of the voters, the provision for
biennial elections is without purpose or
significance. The existing law, under
which congress does not convene in
regular session until thirteen months
after the election of its members, is,
virtually, an invasion of the intention
of the trainers of the constitutions it is
to a considerable extent, subversive of
the fundamental principle of our gov
eminent, that the majority shall rule
We trif1e with the rights of the people
when we do not permit their mandates
to be obeyed within a reasonable time
Nor is it unfair to the voters only: it is
equally unfair TO their chosen lawgiv-
ers that the legislation deemed by them
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1897-03-04


essential to the prosperity of the coun-
try should be so long deferred, that the
time for electing new congress arrives
before the working of new law can
be tested. Touching this point Mr., Sha-
froth in the Review recalls the fact that
within five months after the Mckinley
tariff was enacted, and before 1t was
possible for its workings to be known,
a new congress was elected with a
large democratic majority"
The New York Times is of the same
mind and says: congressman should
take their seats on the fourth of March
following their election instead of
waiting thirteen months, as is now
done. The president will, no doubt,
call an extra session, for Mckinley ad-
ministration operating under a Wilson
tariff from March to December is in
conceivable"
The president, of course, may exercise
his powers under the constitution to
call an extra session of congress, but
this is always an unpopular measure,
and the president should be relieved, as
Mr.. Shafroth suggests, by an enact
ment that the first session of congress
shall begin on the Monday following the
fourth of March of the year succeeding
the election of representatives.

They extend horizontally and each one
about an inch and half long and

of the stock folds, and is supposed to be

stock.
A bloused waist that will last in dain-
tiness until shirt waists are donned is
pictured here. 1t was made of dark
green wooden suiting, was gathered at
neck and waist, hooked in front, and
was there finished with a narrow dou-
BILE frill of green taffeta. Its stock
collar was of the cloth and had silk
frill at the upper edge, the epaulets be-
ing of the cloth with ruffled edging.
The wide belt was dark green velvet,
and a handsome bolero of black silk
passementerie, jet beads and spangles
was added. The skirt worn with this
was finished at the hem with a green
velvet band. Green holds it's popular
ity both in goods and trimmings, al
though it has brand-new rival in pur-
pie. But that shade is so trying, both
to most wearers and most of other wo-
mems dresses, that it will be slow in
gaining general adoption, even if it
ever wins it. FLORETTE.

MUSIC IN THIS COUNTRY.

Year by year great attention is being
given in this country to the interests of
music as a study and this young and
vigorous republic now that it has long
since become thickly settled and well
developed is turning it's attention more
and more to the development OF an ap-
preciative taste for the fine arts.
Among the important national gather
ings this year will be the nineteenth
annual convention of the Music Teach
ers National Association, to be held at
the Grand Central Palace. New York
city, from June oath to 2Sth next This
will also assume the character of an
exposition in which the music trades
will be represented. Besides the ex-
pected attendance of fifteen to twenty
thousand teachers, arrangements have
been made for extensive exhibits by
manufacturers OF and dealers in must
cal instruments and other articles per-
tanning to the trade and profession.
The convention work will consist of

| Many of the states, including our
own, have their associations which
meet annually for purposes of inter
course, discussion and mutual improve
ment. These conventions are not only
promotive of an increasing love for
music, but cannot fail to stimulate to
worthy efforts the creative talent of our
American musicians and composers.
Our own State association will meet
shortly and it's continued prosperity is
+ a matter for congratulation. And
while on this subject it is we'll to again
remind our readers of the strong claims
our own Gounod society has upon the
music loving public for support It's
well earned laurels appeal. as they
should, to our local pride and the recog-
milton of what the society has accom-
plished is not confined to local boun-
diaries, as the following appeal in it's
behalf from the Springfield Republican
| of yesterday well attests:
The past two years has been uncom-
monty hard on musical organizations
all over the country, for in dull times
people retrench on concert tickets be-
fore they begin to economic in some
less useful things. 1t is said that the
| Gounod society of New Haven has suf-
fered so much from lack of support
that there is danger that it may be dis
banded. 1t is to be hoped that the peo-
pie of New Haven will rally to it's sup
port in time to prevent such a disas-
ter. A local singing society conducted
on high musical plane is Bile
force for culture, and the Gounod soci-
ETY. deserves hearty encouragement"

parting respects to President Cleveland
as follows: Now at last, he passes into
a state of 'innocuous desuetude." He
will never again complain that he has

He can fish and shoot without inter-
ruption in the days to come, but at his

He may not be so rich as Croesus, but
he will take a great deal more out Of

that the country experiences relief at

his administration and at the fall of

A plant that promises to become as
troublesome and costly as the gypsy
moth is the water hyacinth, which is
plaguing our government engineers by
growing so rapidly in southern rivers
as to impede navigation, The waters
of Florida, Louisiana, and other south
Atlantic and Gulf States are infested
with it. The plants increase rapidly,
collect in large floating masses, and
are carried about on the surface by
wind and tide, forming in some places
very serious impediments to river COM
merce. A senate bill in congress au-
thorizes the secretary of war to investi-
gate the extent of the obstruction to
navigable rivers, and to conduct eX-
periments to find some way of checking
the growth or removing the plants.
