BIGGEST WEDDING EVER KNOWN
Oyer Ten Thousand Greek Soldiers Mar.
ried at One Time.


ried at One Time.
On the day that Alexander the Great
was married no fewer than 2O.202 per.
Sous i'll one ceremony were made hus-
bands and wives This seems impossi-
bic, but the event really took place, as
historical records tell US. This monster
wedding occurred upon the conquest by
Alexander the Great of Persia, which
was then ruled over by King Darius.
Alexander married Statira, the daugh-
ter of the conquered king, and decreed
that 100 Of his chief officers should be
united TO 100 ladies from the noblest
Persian and Medean families. In addi-
ton to this he stipulated that 10000 of
his Greek soldiers should marry 10000
Asiatic women.
When everything was settled a vast
pavilion was erected, the pillars of which
were sixty feet high. One hundred gor-
genus chambers adjoined this for the 100
noble bridegrooms, while for the remain
ing 10000 an outer court was inclosed
outside of which tables we're spread for
the multitude. Each pair lad seats
and ranged themselves in a sesni-cIrcle
round the royal throne. OF course the
priests could not marry this vast num-
Der of couples, so Alexander the Great
devised very simple ceremony. He
gave his hand to Statira and kissed her
AN example that all the bridegrooms
followed.
Thus ended the ceremony ard that
vast number we're married Then fol-
lowed the festival, which lasted five
days, the grandeur of which has never
been eQualed since

Hot Times In Atlanta During the Judg-
ship Races.

The following special from Atlanta
was printed IN daily papers Of the
state the day before the judges and So
l;citors were chosen by the legislature:
THAT this will be the last of the pres
ent system to elect judges and solicitors
by the legislature is patent. outside of
the positive declaIa of the people in
the late election. The members them
selves, or many of them, are so thorough
ly disguised with the many questionable
deals that have been entered into, to say
nothing of SHADY transactions that are
closely allied with political corruption,
that they are In a frame of mind to
change the system outside of any in
structions from their nstituents.
81 have heard of more deals, and in
greater variety, more charges and coun-
ter-charges, more of elimination, during
the present short scramble for the al
legged spo.less ermine than on any pre-.
vious contest.
"Some candidates are charged with
contributing money for the election or
members who were pledged to their sup
port. Others are charged with malice
and false statements. Still others are
charged with unholy combinations, to
say nothing Of usual traffic IN votes that
calls for support of men with delegated
trusts on the theory of reciprocation
without regard to the equipment Of
candidates.
"The air is sur-charged with rumors
that reflect discredit upon Georgia, the
bench and brings into disrepute the
election of these officers by body where
such things are possible.
The desks of both houses are literal
ly crowded with circulars from these
judicial candidates refuting and de-
nouucing rumors that they allege are
without foundation, and attacking the
votes of certain members that were

Much bitterness is observable, and
need not surprise those who are watch

Priest or Anarchist.
MRS. LUELLA R. KRAYBILL.

AS each day passes our national air be-
comes more laden with the anathema
hurled by priest and prosperous at the
anarchists" strikers" and "agitators'
of the day, Anarchist is the synonym Of
terror, destruction and utter disregard Of
life and law. Priest or ecclesiast Is the
synonym Of homage and love, but, brother,
for once think ye, even be II so little.
Priest Is the upper stratum and anarchist
the lower stratum of the same system
which supports the one and starVes the
other. The French revolution was anar-
chy universal, and why? Because the
church and crown had usurped all land
OF France and she was mad with hunger,
nor knew she where to lay her head un-
molested by the bludgeOns of tax tyranny.
The anarchist Is an inevitable product.
He is the spirit of a system more terrible
than himself, which declares that men
were born to be masters and slaves; to
be rich and poor; to be high and low; to
gormandiZe and to starVe. Compel the
master to slave, the rich to humble, the
gormand to slave and in his heart he
would destroy the universe. Anarchy Is
the inevitable fuse of unholy and desolate
crushing poverty on the bosom Of
q bountiful earth where man was to live
for joy and development and not for de-
spair and slavery. He who would put
upon his father what he would not for
himself may expect the revolt in the eX-
treme-anarchy. He who tenaciOusly sup
ports system OF injustice, Of inhumanity,
OF INDUSTRIAL CCuClHXlOn Is as great a. GRIM
inal as he who declares such government
failure. Until you believe that justice may
be done to all and that joy is for all, con-
denim not the wild stroke of him who is
mad with despair while you are joyous;
of him who tolls and starves while many
swell In their millions. All the necessities
and luXuries of life, all wealth Is created
by labor and when labor is justly remun-
Grated poverty will be unknown and char
ity uncalled for.
The labor Of life time Is worth only
an equitable amount and extreme wealth
proves that labor has been wronged and
robbed. All that tends to develop and
make joyous some lives should be put
within reach of all. No nation has ever
had tramps, rioters or agltators until con-
dtions became oppressed and inhuman;
until wealth became concentrated and its
laws manipulated by Capitalistic power.
We have millions of acres of land held idle
for speculation. We have millions Of un-
employed while millions are suffering for
the necessaTies of life. Can we cali this
civilization, government, humanity?

Social Intolerance.
LINUS s. WEBB.

Religious intolerance has been and still
Is one OF the curses of the world. Not
Withstanding the appalling slaughter and
sacrifice Of human life in the name OF
religion, there still fingers in our modern
life the virus Of the ancient malady And
with equal zeal and dogmatism there are
men who proclaim that they have dis
covered the only true panacea for all the
ills OF government, and that II their rem
edy is administered according to their
formula, 1t will work not only wonders, but
Immediate and complete cure of everything
that Is not at present entirely good We
ma these misguided men In all parties and
social organizations. They are not alto
gether bad, nor yet altogether good, and
for this reason, IL for no better one, they
ought to see and respect what is good in
the existing order of things throughout
the world, but more especially in their
own country; and when they fail to show
a decent respect for the opinions of their
fellow men who do not agree with them
in all things, but in some things, and stand
against everything which does not meet
they pursue just the course to defeat the
very objects they have in view, and to
make adversaries instead Of friends. These
observations may be applied to those ultra
socialists and middle-Of-the-road people
who are disposed to dictate to the People
party what shall and what shall not be
In the platform of that party, or what
shall be the principal and subordinate Is

That is the sort of talk that pleases the
gold bugs. Sound currency and the gold

is the object Of the sound currency and

And yet we are told that the silver ques-
tion is a mere fad-a frightful fake! Men
who take such a stand and make such as
sertions are ignorant OF the facts and the
truth, or they are the mercenary ennis

Socialism In Kansas.
Girard, Kas.
JOHN d. COOPER.

1t is admitted by the most authoritative
and best informed writer's, even In eastern
States, that Kansas is in the lead OF every
State In the Union, in broad, liberal, pro-
gressve thought. Modern history testihes
to the fact that Kansas was born O cour-
ageOus leader in the struggle for freedom
and for justice. Her early experience, ne
cessitating the cultivation Of the mental
faculties, while exercising her physical
forces, not only fitted her for n leader, but
naturally, for a. teacher. Hence the devel-
opment OF her superior intellectual percep-
tiOn has created advanced ideas Of a more
perfect, scientific government OF society.
The first and most valuable lessons In
socialism may be learned by q close OBJ
server in new country, thinly settled by
an average class Of people. While neigh
bors are few and far apart, and while we
are obliged to depend so much upon as
Sistance from each other then 1t is that
socialism shows off to advantage and i'm
presses the observer with It's helpfulness.
Hence sociological thought has found, In
Kansas, congenial environment for Its de-
velopment and growth. Many Kansans, be
1t said to their credit, are concerning them
selves about social interests, social claims,
obligations and improvement Of our social
conditions, so as to harmOnize with our
professions Of intelligence, our advanced
state Of civilization and of our Christian
religion. Some OF our most klnd-hearted
and sympathetic people are advancing COM
munism OF property; while many others
acter who would like to have II so, may
be fairly illustrated by the following
rhyme:
What is a communist? One who has
yearnings
For equal division Of unequal earnings:
An idler or bungler, or both, he Is willing
TO fork out his penny and pocket your
shilling"
1t is the extreme selhshness In human
nature, and the wide difference of lndl-
vidual energy and ability, which will, to
conditions of society. But, while this is a
fact, we believe 1t possible for the reallz-
alton of a more equilibriate adjustment of
the social balance.
The correct solution OF the social prob
lem needs the concentration OF the most
sagacious and best thought from the
healthy, fertile brains of the most pure
free from "cranks" nor the fallings OF
human nature yet, In all emergencies
where the active exercise Of brain, muscle
or courage is needed Kansas will always
be to the front with full quota OF the
best material and mentality the case may
require.
Some Of our ablest social reformers may
be excused for their impetuOslty but we
think II is unwise to allow our impetuOus,
lmpulsiVe natures to divide our strength
and weaken our influence.
The enemy will do all possible to impede
our progress and defeat the accomplish
ment of our purposes; without assistance,
or aid from US.
UNITED, we stand: divided we fall"

in reform questions and measures, and my
faith and hope in the people and right still

POLICE COURT FIELD DAY.

Lieutenant Williams West Scranton
detail of patrolmen, blockading the
principal ports of entry for any who
were evidently trouble makers to this
section, did a big business Wednes-
day night. Five prizes were taken in
tow Yesterday morning Alderman
Moses, valued the prizes at So each
which was paid by the owners of the
several captures.
Patrolman Hart covered himself with
glory as it was his fortune 40 capture
four out of the five He was patrol
ing along West Lackawanna avenue
shortly before midnight when a light
spring wagon drawn by a horse and
carrying three passengers bore down
upon him with every indication of eX-
treme contempt for the presence of
an enemy Each passenger was loaded
to the utmost and though like all
blockade runners they exposed no
lights. still they made noise enough
TO prevent their escape.
A challenge from the patrOlman be-
ing a blank charge to be quiet, brought
no response. They were promptly
stopped. Drunk, disorderly, fast driv-
ing. etc, were charged against Joseph
Boddis, Charles Molinski and Anton
Mulaski, all Russians who had manned
the wagon the night before and they
paid a fine of So each for their free
dom.
An hour or so later, a party of men
were in deep conspiracy at the corner
of Ninth street and West LaCkawanna
avenue. They were requested to move
along" Some did. one didn't. He
fired a brOadside of abuse at the pa
trOlman and in the words of Admiral
Montejo, late of Manila, he cried "Come
and move me-" Yesterday morning
Thomas James gained his freedom by
S. forfeiture.
About Las o'clock yesterday morning
shots We're heard by PatroH an
Matthews as he watched for blockade
runners on North Main avenue. He
located the firing at or near the cor
ner of North Bromley avenue and Laf-
ayette street. Investigating, he found
James Johns near the supposed scene
of shooting. Mr. Johns had not done
it. Some boys further up the street
were fooling. The boys said Johns
did it, Johns was arrested and the
still warm revolver was found on him.
His early morning attempt at a pro-
miscuOus bOmbardment cost him s5
and a severe reprimand in yesterday
mornings police court.
