TOWN SHEND.
A Wedding of Local Interest.

Marcus A. Coolidge of Fitchburg, Mass,
and Ethel Warren of Spring field, VT, were
married at the latter place few days ago.
The event has local interest from the
fact that the groom's mother is native Of
Townshend, and he has several relatives liv-
ing here. The wedding took place at John
Taylor Slack's, an uncle of the bride. A
Fitchburg reporter describes the house as
having been converted into a "bower of
floral beauty" for the occasion, with deco
rations of green, goldenrod and the red
berries of the mountain ash. The bride,
gowned in white organdie, trimmed with
lace, was attended by two little girls who
made way for the bridal party between the
guests with long streamers of white ribbon.
Congratulations and wedding breakfast
followed the ceremony. There were many
gifts. The Fitchburg reporter adds: "Mr.
Coolidge is a son of ex-Congressman F. S.
Coolidge, and is a successful builder of
electric railways, and is connected with
many enterprises of this sort. He is re-
garded as highly successful young man.
His bride will be a decided acquisition to
Ftchburg, and is a niece OF the gentleman
at whose home she was married. She is a
graduate of Tabor academy, Marion, Mass,
'92, and of Smith college, '96, and for the
past two years has been instructor of biol
ogy in Wells college,"

in 1865 and they soon after joined the
Baptist church at that place. They came
to this town in 1888 and later became men,
bers of the First Baptist church at Brat
tleboro. In 1885, when Vernon grange

try-Mr. walker of Massachusetts
Makes a FcIicitOus speech in Re-
ply.
Washington, March 15.-The House
agreed to-day to consider the bill for the
relief of the legal heirs of the victims and
survivors of the Maine disaster, as soon
as the postoffice appropriation bill, which
was taken up in the House to-day, is out
of the way. During the general debate
on the postofice bill, members eagerly took
advantage of the latitude allowed in COM
mittee of the whole to discuss varioustpo-
litical questions and the debate according
ly covered wide range.
MIR. Griggs of Georgia contributed some
remarks upon the mooted question of the
ton manufacturers of the North and South
10 prove that the advantages possessed
by the latter were not due to the long
hours of labor of their operatives.
He predicted that the South, in the near
future, would manufacture, as well as
grow, the cotton crop of the world. He
warned New England that she must aban-
don the industry.
Mr.. Griggs criticised some utterances of
Speaker Reed and Mr.. Dingley and created
much enthusiasm on the Democratic side
AT the conclusion of his speech an ar
rangement was made to close the general
debate at o'clock tomorrow.
Mr. Walker, Rep, of Massachusetts,, said
it was a happy day for the republic when
a Southern member arose on the floor and
spoke of the great manufacturing indus
tries of the South in competition with
those of the North. 1t was a day we had
been waiting for since the pilgrims landed
No section would rejoice more that the
South had entered the lists than New
England. 1--WE shall suffer from Southern
competition temporarily said he. 1--WE
may have to reduce wages temporarily;
of our industry, but we glory in this
Southern competition, because it shows
the eementing Of the common country we
love so we'll" (Applause)
Mr.. Mahany, Rep, of New York, de-
nounced an editorial in New York paper
on the Sheriff Martin verdict The public
opinion of the United States, he said,
while accepting the verdict, registered the
unofficial verdict that the shooting down
of defenseless laborers constituted an i'm
parchment of American liberty and dis
grace to the section in which it occurred.
Mr.. Tawney, Rep, of Minnesota, then
got the floor and replied to a speech de-
livered by Mr.. johnson, Rep, of Indiana,
several weeks ago, against the annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands.
Mr.. Tawney argued that the commercial
advantages of the islands made their an
nexation desirable. He defended the ma
tive Hawaiians. whom he said were not
an illiterate race.
Mr.. Tawney also contended that only
urreconstructed royalists opposed annex
alton. He was warmly congratulated when
he concluded.
At $40 o'clock the House adjourned.

These mortars are an important part or

AN ASTRONOMICAL ACHIEVEMENT
'cessfuI PhOtOgrnphing of the
OccuIntiOn of star.
From the PhiladelphIa LedgeI

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Boston, March n.--Prof, Edward C..
Pickering, of the Harvard College Observ-
atory, has Just announced an achievement
of great interest to astronomers, the first
satisfactory photograph Of the occultation
Of a star by the moon Speaking of the OBJ
servation, Prof. Pickering said
THE disappearance Of a bright star
when occulted by the moon is always a
striking phenomenon. There is no celestial
event whose time is susceptible OF more
precise determination. For many years va
rlous plans have been suggested, both here
and elsewhere, by which this time could
by ordinary visual observation. In fact, the
apparatus for photographlng the eclpses
of Jupiters satellites, used here for sever
al years, was devised In part for this pur-
pose
ION Feb % Mr.. Edward s. King for the
first time succeeded In satisfactorily photo
graphing the occultaton Of a star. The
plate was moved automatically every sec
ond by means Of an electro-magnet. A mo-
ton of about 0,03 en-. was given 10 the
plate whenever the circuit was closed, and
Of an equal amount when IL was opened.
Connecting the apparatus with the stand
ard clock. two images alternately faint and
bright, were obtained every second. As the
faint images are three magnitudes fainter
than the bright images, the ratio OF the
duratlons was about one to sixteen, so that
the absolute durations were 0s. O6 and 0s.94.
IT Is here assumed that, as the times OF
exposure were very short, the chemical
action was proportional to the time. This
assumption is verified by actual measure
ment."
fhe star on which the observation was
taken was 26 Arietls, a star little fainter
than the sixth magnitude. Prof. Picker
ing goes on 10 state that the time OF the
stars disappearance behind the moon, by
means of this Photographic apparatus,
was fixed 10 within onc-tenth of a second,
and by using shorter exposures. he thinks
greater accuracy can be obtained. He IL
of the opinion that occultations of the
stars as faint as the ninth magnitude can
be observed geographically. Another
very interesting point Is that the stars
light showed no gradual diminution as II
approached the moon, as would be the
case were there a lunar atmosphere. The
disappearance was sudden and complete
in the ordinary visual method. Prof.
Pickering concluded as follows:
"In this connection it Is interesting to
note that the determination Photographic
ally of the position of the moon by means
of a star about to be occulted was one OF
the subjects investigated by Prof. G. +.
Bond forty years ago. He obtained a
number OF photographs OF the moon and
Alpha Virgins shortly before the occulta-
ton of the latter on June 2, 1857
