Admiral and Mrs. M. M. Hazen
Married at Washington.
FATHER MACkIN 0FFICIATES.

St Paul's Catholic Church.

Washington. ID. C.. Nov. 9.-Admi-
raj George Dewey and Mrs. Mildred
NJ. Hazen were married quietly at the
rectory OF st. Paul Catholic church
in y street, near Fifteenth, this city,
shortly before 10 this morning.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. James F. Mackin, pastor OF the
church, assisted by the Rev. Joseph
II. Foley, assistant pastor. and the
Rev. Sidney Hurlbut. The ceremony
was OF The simplest kind, according
to the rites OF the Catholic church.
and the only witnesses besides the
officia ting clergymen were Mrs Wash
ington Mclean and Mrs. Ludlow.
wife OF Admiral Ludlow, mother and
sister respectively OF the bride, and
Lieut.. Caldwell, Admiral Dewey's sec
rotary
The arrangements for the wedding
were made with all the secrecy which
has attended the whole affair. After
procuring the license for the wedding
yesterday, Lieut. Caldwell called on
Father Mackin of St Paul's. Of
which church Mrs Hazen is Il COM
municant, and arranged for the we'd
ding this morning.
As Admiral Dewey is not Catho-
liz, special dispensation was request
ed for the performance OF the ceremo-
ny and this was procured by Father
Maekin from Bishop curtis, vicar
general OF the diocese of Baltimore,
who granted it in the absence of Car
dinal Gibbons, who is at present in
New Orleans. Father Mackin went
TO Baltimore for this purpose yester-
day afternoon.
At $40 a. m. this morning two |
carriages containing the wedding |
party, drew up before the modest red |
brick rectory in the rear of St Pauls.
The general public had no intimation
OF where the ceremony was to take
place and not a single spectator was
present when the party alighted Adj
sniral Dewey and Lieut.. Caldwell
qTekly stepped from their carriage
and fhe Admiral assisted the bride
elect and her mother and sister from
the other carriage.
Mrs Hazen was gowned in pearl
gray silk over which she wore a long
stNssaisFsa black wrap trimmed with sill
yer fox and lined with lavender silk.
The Admiral wore a black frock coat,
gray trousers and a silk hat. Upon
entering the rectory they were usher
ed into the reception room, where
Admiral Dewey was presented to
Father Mackin and the two clergy
men who were to assist in the cere-
mony.
Upon being presented to Father
Mackin the Admiral said that he had
heard that Father Mackin had i'll his
early years been a sailor, and it gave
him additional happiness to know
that he was to be married by a cler-
ryman who had at one time followed
the sea. Father Mackin replied hap
pilv that when he found he could not
become an admiral he had determined
to become a priest.
Mrs. Hazen removed her wrap and
she and the admiral Immediately
took their places in the center of the
little reception room, where the cere-
mony was performed which made
them man and wife. Father Mackin
and his assistants wore simple black
cassocks.

Repudiated Imperialism.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9.-Unotficial
returns from eighty-one of the ninety
counties in Nebraska give Holcomb
100, 5O7: Reese, 81, S12. These same
counties in 1898 gave Poynter for
governor $3.50; Hayward. $3.50.
1t is estimated that the remaining
counties on the same ratio, will
give Holcomb 1o1. 592 aud Reese
93,117, or fusion majority OF about
14.5O0. The official returns will not
change this materially.
An ANALYSIS OF the figures shows
that Reese polled about 200 more
votes than Hayward did last year,
while Hokomb polls about 10000
more than did POINTER.

Result of Practical Ioke.

Chicago, ILL.,. Nov 9.-As the result
OF practical joke John Shinder was
probably fatally burned here to-day.
Two fellow workmen bound him with
a tarred rope and lighting it left the
room, thinking it would burn slowly.
In an instant the prisoner was a
mass of flames. The cord burt in two
and he ran screaming into IN adioin-
inc room. where other worl1men tore
the flaming clothing from him. Chas.
Becker and Allie Chudenski. the
would-be iokers, were arrested. They
said that as Shinder was a new man
they merely wished TO initiate him.

The market continues firm in most
departments, with seasonable business
increasing. Cotton fabrics maintain a
firm tone, gray and brown goods being
literally ordered ahead, with little out
look for weakness. Bleached cottons
are steady, with colored in a strong
position. Finished goods are yet sell
Ing below the basis of gray goods, with
trade moderate. Printed fabrics are
going we'll in fall styles, with ging-
hams quiet but steady. Dress woolens

made, but new business with agents is

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, August 19.-Advancas of
11kc in September corn and A@ sc in
September wheat were the features of
to-day's trading on the Board of Trade.
In corn small receipts and large ship
ments drove alarmed shorts to cover;
in wheat damaging rains in the North
west and strong foreign markets had
a similar effect. Oats advanced "a %
sc for September, and provisions clos
ed unchanged to 21ac higher.
Wheat opened strong at an improve
ment of 5sc over yesterdays latest
prices. The advance had substantial
backing. Foreign markets showed
sharp advances, Liverpool being up Is
@Bd, and London 1a@Ad. Advances
in regard to the Russian and Rouman-
ian crops were gloomy and probably
had considerable to do with the adj
vances at Liverpool and London. Do
nestle news was even more bullish in
its tone than the foreign advices. Heavy
and continued rains were reported all
over the northwest wheat fields, and
many complaints of damage on that
score are received. The strength shown
by corn was also notable enough to
affect shorts in wheat. During the first
hour Of the short sessions trading the
market was quite active. September
opened at 72A @72ssc and even at that
price there was not much wheat offer
ed. Shorts were active bidders for
everything offered and the price got
to 72$s @721ac before realizing was suf-
ficient to satisfy the demand. A short
reaction to 72Ac followed but the mar
ket quickly recovered, and in the space
of the next half hour touched 729se
The market then quoted down some
what. There was a good deal of SELL
ing against weekly calls during the lat
ter part of the session, and one or two
slight reactions resulted therefor, but
the market had too much substantial
support to admit of material decline,
and shortly before the close 725sc was
again touched. Primary receipts were
again much less than last year, the
total being 537 900 bushels, against $685.
600 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis
and Duluth receipts were 232 cars,
against 22S last week and 435 a year
ago. Chicago receipts were lis cars, IA
of contract. Clearances, however, were
small-115 900 bushels. Foreign bids
for wheat were renewed, but were as a
rule out of line, and not much cash
business done Liberal worlds ship
ments were looked for and some SELL
ing was done on the apprehension that
they would unfavorably affect the Liv-
erpool market Monday. A decrease IT

Trading in corn was marked BY great
activity and strength in September
Continued small receipts and heavy
shipments and decreasing stocks alarm
ed the large short interests in that OPP
ton and resulted in a rush for cover
which advanced the price materially.
Deferred futures advanced little in
sympathy. Receipts were 29S cars.
Stocks here this week will decrease

moderately good. September ranged

Provisions were steady but very dull,
business being mostly changing over.
The cash demand for meats was fair,
and this and the strength of grain re-

He Has Few Needs and 6reat Endurance
and Spirits
An Arab can not dispense with fooc
altogether, like the legendary camel OF
travellers tales, but his needs are few.
and he viii maintain his health and
spirits under conditions which other
horses would never be able to endure.
Indeed. not only can he put up with
hardships at a pinch. but he actually
deteriorates under the generous regi-
men which is considered necessary for
other horses This has been proved
over and over again by purchasers Nho
have refused TO believe the usual three
feeds OF corn to be supererogatory and
the morning hour of walking exercise
insufficient There Is probably no be-
ing so obstinately conservative as an
English coachman. and. even when ha
finds an Arab grow utterly unmaH
ageable, he is not 10 be convinced tha;
the simple cause Is lack of exercise and
eSuherance of feeding The fact is, an
Arab is naturally so htgh-spirited and
so difficult to tire that even a single
feed OF corn is excessive unless he is
being subjected TO exceptionally hard
work. He will answer every require
ment as a hunter II his diet be re-
stricted to hay or even to grass, and IN

tory II he has the run OF the paddock.
where he can chose his own food and
exercise. So far, the quality OF the
normal Arab in everyday life What
a picked horse can do when put upon
his mettle almost battles belief An
officer, recently returned from the
Soudan, relates that after ride OF
500 miles his horse showed no signs
OF work, though ne had cast all his
shoes before accomplishing quarter
OF the journey. though many of the
camels had died and the others had
suffered severely Again it was an
Arab of I42Az. which carried ten
stone six pounds and won a ten-miIc
race at Ferozepore in . minutes, a
feat of endurance probably unequaled
in equine annals. And Lord Roberts
can bear testimony TO the powers OF
the Arab which carried him through
all his campaigns during 25 years. and.
alone among the horses of history,
received official authority to wear the
Afghan medal with four clasps. Such
qualities are worth insisting upon at
the war office as a short cut 10 the So
luton of many problems OF economy
and dispatch in the transport service.
