ess&ry to take his daughter home, and
there her disposition changed com

She began to draw and model in her

enthusiasm. The light had flashed up
on her mind. The father perceived the

In 1871 Rosa Bonheur made her debut

animals in a Field "A Cow Lying in

DEWEYS RETURN.
Cables that He Will Reach New
York, About Oct. |.
Warm Encounter With FiIipinos at
Santa Rita--Natives Driven.
Need Of More Troops in Philippines Daily Be-
coming More Apparent.

Washington. May 26.-Admiral
Dewey telegraphs the navy department
that he viii stop at various places on
his way to the United States and will
reach New York about October 1.
Admiral Dewey's dispatch did not
enumerate the points at which the
Olympia will touch en- route to New
York. and it may be that an effort will
be made to ascertain these for the
benefit of the officials of some of the
towns especially along the Mediterran-
can, who may desire to take official no.
tice of the visit to their ports of the
distinguished naval officer and his fa-
nous flagship.
Some Of Dewey's friends in the navy
department suspect that the admiral
is purposely evadng a statement of
his itinerary to avoid so far as possible,
all demonstrations.
One result of the pOstponement of
the Olympia'S arrival in this country
until October will be the imposSibility
of the presence of the admiral at the
G. 4. K. encampment in Philadelphia.
His friends here say that this was the
only occasion which the admiral had
positively promised to attend, and they
Intimate that. having been obliged by
his health to decline to attend the din
ner at Hong Kong. in honor of the
Queens birthday, very unusual de-
clnation. Admiral Dewey will find it
impossible to depart from the rule he
there established and attend any ban
quets or popular demonstrations in
this country.
Most of the time of Admiral Dewey
before his return. it is expected. will be
passed in Mediterranean ports and a
generous part at Malta and Gibraltar,
and perhaps. coming by the southern
route, the Olympia will touch at the
Azores and Bermuda.

married early he found himself obliged

Rosa was early in life admitted to an
excellent fashionable boarding school
IN which she was to be educated in ex-

soon however. as Rosa was admitted
into the rich boarding school her dis

showed little taste for grammar. Her
vivacity. fun. the carelessness Of her
toilet were all antagOnistic to the hah-

difference between the infariority of
her position and their own.

Mr.. Hartman L. Couchman, who re-
sides near Martinsburg, and Miss Ida
P. Lemen, of the vicinity of Snyder S
Mills, were married Tuesday at noon
at the home of the bride. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. c. H.

the presence of a number Of the rela-
tives and near friends of the contract
ing parties. At the hour appointed

for the bride and groom, who pre-
sented themselves before the minister
As they stood upon floral mat under
crescent of chrysanthemums the SOL
emn words were spoken by which the
twain were made one. Miss Julia
Line had played the wedding march
from Lohengrin preceding the en-
trance of the bridal party, and during
the ceremony she softly and sweetly
rendered "a Story Ever Sweet and
True" upon the piano. After the
fateful words had been spoken, Mr..
and Mrs. Couchman received the con-
gratulations of their friends, and then
delicious and bountiful luncheon
was served. Later the bride and
groom drove to Martinsburg, where
they took the train for an extended
trip to Philadelphia and other eastern
points. A feature of the wedding was
the beautiful floral decorations, many
choice flowers and plants being artis-
tically arranged in the rooms and
hall. The bride was becomingly at
tired in travelling gown of green di-
agonal cloth, trimmed with silk, and
she wore a velvet hat to match. She
carried beautiful bunch Of La France
roses. Many beautiful wedding pres
ents were received, including a silver
service and other useful articles in
silver, china, cut glass, linen, etc.
Mr.. Couchman is one of Berkeley
county's most substantial and respect
ed farmers, and his wife is lady who
has the respect and admiration of a
large circle Of friends in this section.
We extend to them our sincere wishes
for their future happiness.
