Church Wedding Snyder -Eokert.

Wednesday about four hundred in
vited guests assembled in the M. E.
Church of this place to witness the
marriage of Katherine, only daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford 1. Eckert,
to Irwin A. Snyder, of Bloomsburg,
Pa. Promptly at eleven o'clock the
bridal party marched up the aisle to
the soft strains of Lohengrin's Wed
ding March, which was played by
Miss Lena Burk. During the cere-
mony, which was performed by Rev.
j. A. DeMoyer, faint echoes of
"Sweet Memories" from the piano
were heard throughout the room. The
bride looked pretty in blue broad
cloth travelling dress and large black
velvet hat, and carrying bouquet of
white roses. Miss Emma Snyder,
sister of the groom, was brides maid,
and carried large bouquet of pink
roses. The "best man" was Harry
Shure of Sunbury. The ushers were
Herbert Cummings and Ed. Thomas
of Sunbury, and Joe Townsend and
Alexander Cohen, of Bloomsburg.
The church was very prettily decor
ated with palms and purple cinerarias,
and was Illuminated by electric light.
After the ceremony a reception was
held at the home of the bride from
1890 A. M. to 1880 P. NJ, where the
bridal couple received the congratu-
latlons under an arch of smilax. The
bride received many handsome pre-
sents. The young couple left on the
1850 train for a visit to Philadelphia,
New York and other cities. On their
return they will reside in Bloomsburg,
where Mr.. Snyder is connected with
his father in the hotel business.

A Bomberger, a well known band
master of Lebanon, Pa, has been Sc
cured as leader and director for the
Bloomsburg band. He arrived in
town on Tuesday. 1t is earnestly
hoped that each and every member OF
the organization will work for the best
interests of the band, and try and
raise it to where it rightfully belongs,
among the best. Of course it will
require some money to pay the in
structor, and to purchase new uni
forms, but if all the members make
the right start, attend the rehearsals
and let the leader do the leading, we
have no doubt but what subscriptions
will be forthcoming.

Suggested Requirements for Admission
to the Bar,

At the meeting of the American
Bar Association on August a5th, 1897,
the following resolutions were adopted:
"ResolUed,-That the American
Bar Association approves the length
ening OF the course of instruction in
law schools to period of three years,
and that it expresses the hope that as
soon as practicable, a rule may be
adopted in each State which will re-
quire candidates for admission to the
Bar to study law for three years be-
fore applying for admission.
"Res0k0ed,-That the American
Bar Association is of the opinion that
before student commences the study
of law, it is desirable that he should
have received a general education,
approximately at least, equivalent to
high school course, and that persons
who have not completed the equiva-
lent of such a course should not be
admitted into law schools as candid
ates for degree.
"The Association means by the ex-
preston, "a high school course,
course of study beginning at the end
of grammar school course and ex-
tending over four full years."
"The course of study referred to,
would include knowledge of English
Grammar, English Composition, En-
glish and American Literature, the
History of England and the United
States, as we'll as General History,
Arithmetic, Algebra, Plane and Solid
Geometry, Physical Geography, Civil
Government, Elementary Physics,
Human Physiology, Botany, and
either Zoology Geology, Chemistry
or Astronomy, as the applicant selects.
The candidate might be permitted to
substitute foreign language for an
equivalent amount of science study
