.DIvORCEE MARRIES
 THE CORRESPONDENT
A QUIET CEREMONY AT RENO ON
 WEDNESDAY.
Mrs. Lena W. Burnett, ex-Wife of the Druggist, and Dr. Franklin T. Brown Join Hearts
 and Hands.

Almost interesting sequel to a recent social sensation is the marriage of Mrs. Lena w Burnett and pr. Franklin T. Duncan of this city. The ceremony oc- cured last Wednesday morning at Reno, New.
 = Reno has become the haven of refuge of all California's fair. divorcees. anxious once again to sail the sea of matrimony ere more than a year has. passed. Thus it was that Mrs. Burnett and her brave doctor slipped forth from the city by the Golden Gate and hied themselves to Me- vada to kneel before the altar and whis- per vows that bound the twain as one
 None save the most intimate friends of the couple knew their destination, much less their object, when last Tuesday even ing Dr. Duncan and Mrs. Burnett boarded the 6 o'clock train from this city The next morning at 8 o'clock they reached Repo,. the bride-again-to-be going to the home of friends there. while the expectant swain procured the necessary license and made all arrangements necessary for such a momentous occasion.
 At Il o'clock the ceremony was per- formed at the little Methodist Episcopal church of the village. Rev. G. H. Jones oficiated. and upon the certificate of mar riage appear the names of Miss Lucille Mcbride and Miss Josie Wick
 Immediately after the ceremony Mr.

the lesson went on, until the boy could build a broom.
 To such d child this instruction and the knowledge it imparted was all that a university education is to a lad with all his senses. He became a most ex- pert workman, and. when he had so progressed as to receive wages, he was not long in grasping the idea of what they meant, that it was something given for his labor and exchangeable for what he wanted.
 Now, witness the high principle in that apparently hapless, hopeless, help less child! He was miserly in saving his money. In handling him Mr. San ders had learned, by manual code, to communicate with him, to exchange thoughts-in fine, the blind could talk to the blind and deaf and mute.
 The boy one day told his teacher that he wanted to buy broom machine. It was bought with his carefully hoarded money, and he set it up at home, bought corn, made brooms and sold them and contributed to the support of his mother and himself! Only a few centuries ago if a blind man had done this for a deaf and dumb and blind boy he would have been either saluted as saint, inspired to work miracles by the powers of light, or sacrificed as wiz ard in league with the powers of dark ness.
 It was a work worthy to rank with the training of Laura Bridgman by Dr. Howe, and taken with his capacity for all the duties of his position, placed Mir Sanders in the same rank as Fas- set, the blind Postmaster General of Great Britain, and Herreshoff, the sightless architect of the cup-defend ing yacht.
 He had taken from the widow her burden and changed it into her sup port.
 The strong and great, the conquerors who have ridden in triumph, and the winners of the glory of this world, fin ally go the mortal way that must be taken by the small and weak, and if there be somewhere an accounting and some time a day of reckoning. who has been so proud and hi~h in this brief span, which iD the common It, that he would not then glad,,- exchange all his glory for this one deed of a patient blind man, recorded in that state hoped for, in which Bartimeus walks without a guide md the lame and halt put off their weakness and stand upright!
