Her vel was voluminous, and as she

her face was seen through the meshes Of

either side, lying along the length of her

trimmed with lace, and was finished with
high collar of satin and lace standing at
the back. The skirt was plainly fashioned
and was finished with a sweeping train.
The brides bouquet very handsome,

orchids and lilies of the valley. The cere-
mony was simple and was accompanied
by the music. The bridal couple kneit for
the benediction after the wedding ring had
been placed.
Many Of the congregation forgot etiquette
and stood on their peWs and chairs to gain
Il better view. Changing to MendelSSohn'S S
march, the music ushered the bridal train
forth again. Even before the last carriage
had driven away, the waiting crowds out

screened with dark green burlap framed in
white and finished with heavy rosettes of

erS, getting life lines into a tangie and fray
ing the cords. In one instance they almost
cut through a rubber tube which supplied
the diver with air.
One important discovery made was the
position of the bodies found in the wreck,
100 of which were floating about the torn
compartments. A full score Of these were
examined by my informant. All of these
bodies were in hammocks and all had the
arms curved upward. They looked as if the
men had been startled by some sudden
shock of danger and were IN the act OF
reaching up for their hammock hooks to
swing themselves on deck VIXEN death came.
This seems to confirm what has already
been said about there having been two ex-
plosions, the first startling the men into
the act of arising from their hammocks,
the other dashing the life out Of them
while they We're in that position. Before
the explosion the 10-inch magazine was To-
Gated ON the StarbOard side forward and
beneath the forward turret What is left Of
the magazine seems to have ueen driven to-
ward the port bow in diagonal and up
ward direction.
The six inch magazine which had its
location in the port side Of the ship forward
was hurled in direction directly opposite
to that Of the 10 inch magazine. One Of the
copper cylindrical tanks for the six inch
magazine was found by the divers in the
wreck of that structure. 1t contained no
power charge. The IL inch magazine has
not been closely examined at this writing,
but such inspection of it was made leads to
the belief that big pile of twisted
Wreckage that Hes about the top of it
is composed of unexploded 10 inch charges.
The theory OF the two explosions is borne
out by the testimony of Senior Antonio
Cabalero, q tobacco dealer of Havana.
Sencr Cabalero was crossing the bay in a
ferryboat at the time of the disaster. He
was familiar with the Maine, having paid
several visits to that craft and was pointing
out to a group of friends on the ferryboat
her peculiarties.
There came, just at that instant, ne says,
a dull report from the forward part Of the
ship, the upheaval of a geyser Of water
about the boat, followed almost instantly
by terrific roar and a binding flash Of
light
He is positive aboa. the first explosion,
and says that it was noticed by his COM
panions. This statement of his came to the
ears of one Of the court Of inquiry al d
last night officers were sent to Senor
Cabalero to ask him II he would appear as
witness before the court. He announced
his willingness to do -. '----

brought out as the days wear on. One Of

One of the oddities Of the newspaper
business, and one we have never been
able to understand, is why some men
will take a newspaper forever if you do
not dun them for the pay, and then get
mad as wet hen and stop the paper
as soon as they are asked to pay the de-
linquency. Why don't they get mad at
the county and quit paying taxes be-
cause the collector duns them for what
is due?-Grand Meadow Review.

ers' Trust.
Something of a sensation has been
caused in New York by the bold ar
raignment of the Republican party for
its perfdy and treachery, by Anson
Phelps Stokes, a many times millionaire
and member Of the 400. Mr.. Stokes is a
close student, a clear thinker and a
man who believes that the solemn
pledge of political party should be as
binding upon an administration as on
an individual. He views with appre.
hension the plot of the banks, headed by
Banker Gage, to form a gigantic money
trust, and though he fully realizes the
risk he runs of suffering socially and
commercially by antagonizing the banks
and corporations, he refuses longer to
remain silent in the presence Of the in
famous plot of the present adminis-
tration to further injure the wealth
creator for the benefit of the banks. the
Wall-street gamblers and the corpora
tions.
In a remarkable letter in the New
York World, on Sunday, January 7, Mr..
Stokes has this to say in regard to the
perfdy Of the Mckinley administration
and the conspiracy of the bankers:
'The pledge of the last Republican
convention to promote international BIZ
metallism is the most distinct and un-
qualified in it's platform:
international agreement with the
world, which we pledge ourselves to
promote
This pledge brought to the. Repub-
lican party votes necessary for the cleo
tion of Mr.. Mckinley
After paying his respects to Mr.. Ham
ma, Mr.. Stokes continues:
This boss and the Republican ad-
mnistration are engaged in promoting
schemes to permanently establish gold
monometallism for the permanent ad-
vantage of national banks and other
corporations, capitalists and specula-
tors affiliated with the party, and to so
arrange matters that when the Demo-
Gratis come again into power they may
find their hands tied, SO that IL the
president be a Democrat not suscepti-
BILE to monetary influences he may be-
bound by law to conform to the views
Of the present administration.
THE plans proposed have the simple
objects above stated. Their complicated
forms remind us unpleasantly Of the de-
monetization act of 1873, which was os-
tensibly an act Of II sections to regu-
late details relative to the mint, assay
officers and coinage etc.
"These elaborate schemes show how
badly frightened the gold party bosses
and bankers are by recent elections
and other evidences Of a popular awak-
ening."
