A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
Miss o'DonnelI Married to the Wscount
de Sayre OF Paris.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE marriage of
Miss Aileen O'Donnell to Viscount de
Sayre of Paris took place at St Mat
thew's Church today at noon. The altar
was decorated with palms and lilies and
branches of white azaleas, and the
chancel rail was concealed BY a hedge
Of lilies bound together with broad
white satin ribbon.
The bride was escorted by her
brother, Mr.. O'Donnell, who gave her
hand in marriage. The wedding gown
of white satin was simply made, with
lace draped corsage, a diamond cross
being the only jewel worn. Father Lee
celebrated nuptial mass, aided by Car
dinal Gibbons the pontlfcal benediction
being pronounced.
Among those present were the Brit
1sh ambassador and Lady Pauncefote,

Now the silver enthusiasts are wrang-
ling among themselves over the ratio,
Somehow notion has spread among
them that there possibly may have been
some mistake about the sacredness of
16 to L; that perhaps silver at some other
ratio-S2, 30, "a, 20 or What not to L
would be just as sweetly sacred. To
refute this insidious heresy, Mr.. Bryan
has written a letter, declaring that 1t
would not only be wrong but impol-
lite" to change the figures. Mr.. Bryan is
right The silver craze is all froth and
sentiment, and what sentiment can at
tach to ''32 to II" 1t would be as bad
as amending proverb, a process which
results in amending the sense and
sharpness all out of it. In this case, a
change of ratio is confession OF weak
ness and error, and the Bryan policy is
to stick to what has been said, even if it
is wrong.

JOHN D. LOWELL,
Death of a Former Leading Bust
ness Man of This City.
For IS Years Mr.. Lowell Has Been Large
IY Retired from Active Work-A
Sketch of His Life.

John D. Lowell one of the citys lead
ing business men of a generation ago,
died about o'clock Monday morning
at his home, TIA Main street. He was
within a few weeks of being 80 years of
age.
Mr.. Lovell's death was due to stomach
and heart troubles of long standing. He
had been in feeble health for a long
time, and several years ago he retired
from active business. Mr. Lowell, how
ever, retained an interest in several
Worcester organizations, which re-
quired more or less of his time. and
brought him into intimate associet ton
with the other business men of the
city.
He came down town to attend to
some matters for the last time the latter
part of April last year; but he was feel
ing miserably at the time, and from
then he failed gradually. Only once
after that did he leave his house. The
occasion was the marriage of his step
daughter, Miss Grace Bigelow, of whom
he was very fond, to Walter J. Denny.
The wedding was at Piedmont Church,
and Mr.. Lowell was very anxious to

The pitiful feature of the disaster to
the Boston fremen is that it seems to
have been wholly needless. The men
were not reckless; there seemed no dan
ger near. but the building was a death
trap. It was wretchedly constructed
Investigation shows that the floors We're
supported by small wooden pillars that
for years had borne their burden sue
cessfully, but the timbers were small,
the floors light and in places had been
showed up. The pillars gave no
sign Of yielding under the pressure of
mattresses, bedding and upholstery
stored in the building. There was an
unwonted and fatal strain, however,
when the snow on the roof and all the
material inside had soaked up the tons
Of water poured in by the firemen. Some
of the pillars on the topmost floor had
been partially burned, and when one of
them snapped, the entire structure went
down like house of cards and involved
eleven firemen in the ruins. Now an
investigation is in progress to ascertain
who is 10 blame, but it is the usual
locking of the doors after the horse has
escaped Inspection Of buildings in
cities is simply a mockery, for it has a
rare knack Of overlooking the points of
actual danger.

Speaker Reed is the latest reported
convert to Hawaiian annexation. If the
report is confirmed, it vial be notable
gain for the cause, for the speakers
magazine and interview utterances, to
the effect that empire can wait, have
been interpreted as indicating his hos
tility to the measure. 1t is further as
serted that the speaker is convinced
that the treaty cannot get the so votes
necessary for ratification in the sem
ate, and that a resolution of congress
must be resorted to instead. In that
case, with the support Of the speaker,
there would be no doubt of an early
adoption Of the resolution in the house,
and there seems to be no doubt of a
large majority in It's favor in the SEN
ate. The political quidnuncs are prob
ably right when they say that the party
will gain vastly in prestige if it can go

having Kept the appropriations within
the bounds of the revenue, dealt Sc

If, as the Chicago Record correspond
ent asserts the republican silver sym
pathizers in the house were held soldly
in opposition to the Teller Matthews sill
yer resolution, solely by the promise of
Speaker Reed, that they should not be
again annoyed with votes on questions
affecting the currency, and if in accord
ance with this reputed promise, all cur
rency measures are to be consigned to
death at the end Of the house calendar,
there is likely to be some strong ex-
preston Of discomfort from the reform
ers, but, on the whole, the result may
not be unfortunate for business. AS for
politics, the prospect is not exhilarating,

In his novel, 1.-THE Mutable Many"
dealing with the labor question, Robert
Barr tells of a struggling organist, who
fell dead upon the organ desk after
playing a wedding march of his own
composition, at fashionable London
wedding. At the festival Of the Bee
thoven Maennerchor, in New York, Sum
day night, a song written by one Of the
members was given the place of honor
in the program. After it had been sung,
there was an outburst of enthusiasm,
and the composer, Henry NJ. Markert,
was called ON for a speech. He rose to
respond to the toast, and after he had
finished and was about to lead in sing
ing another verse, he fell dead upon the
stage. Here is a dramatic parallelism
between fact and fiction.

The worlds long lost second moon
seems to have been discovered. 1t is
said to be LIPS as large as the old, IA
miliar moon and to contain 1-SO as much
matter. Few have seen it, however, and
that is why NO more interest is taken in
it in Boston. Many Bostonians have
seen the handsome young woman who
wears divided skirts and rides her
handsome chestnut horse man-fashion,
and that is why Bostonians take espe~
cal interest in her. Those who haven't
seen her are going to, If she is not
scared away before they get to the
boulevard. She came out with the big
storm, and she has become the sensa-
ton of the hour.
