DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL EVENT.
Rev. Chalmer Frontz. Lagrange, Ind. Weds
Miss Mary e. hoetling Of SeIinsgrove.

The Snyder County zri6nne of
Oct. a7th published the following ac-
count Of the marriage of the daughter
of Prof. VIM. Noeting of the Normal
School.
"One of the most pleasing and de-
lightful social events of the season
took place at the home of the brides
parents on north Market Street, in
this place on Thursday evening of last
week, when Miss Mary, the only
daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Noetling,
was united in the holy bonds of we'd
lock to Rev. Chalmer Frontz, Of La
Grange, Ind, in the presence of a
large number of invited guests.
The parlors were tastily decorated
with autumn leaves and palms, which
together with the rich toilets of the
ladies, and the bright and smiling
faces of the assemblage, made it a
pleasant and long to be remembered
event.
The hour for the service had been
fixed for 7 O'Clock p. M, but owing to
the non arrival of DR.. Frontz, a
brother of the groom, who with his
wife was detained through the late
ness of the train in which they were
travelling, it was postponed one hour,
during which time they arrived.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. John B. Focht, d. d., of Trinity
Lutheran, the brides pastor The
bridal party consisted of the BRIDE and
groom, Mr.. and Mrs. William p. Seig
of Steelton, Pa, with Master Frank
Noetling, nephew of the bride, page,
and Miss Helen, her neice, as flower
girl. The bride was altired in white
gown, cut en- train, and presented a
beautiful appearance. Mrs. Seig was
also handsomely gowned. The gen
tlemen wore the conventional black
dress suits.
After the ceremony a sufficient
time was given to those present to
congratulate the newly welded couple
after which all present were ushered
into the dining hall, where tables were
arranged, and after all were seated,
the refreshments were served without
stint, and consisted of buttered rolls,
oyster patties, chicken salad, cakes of
various kinds, Ice Cream, confectlons
and coffee. Abont one hundred and
eighty guests were present and one
and all did ample justice to the good
things placed before them.
The newly married couple were the
recipients OF large number of costly
presents, ornamental as we'll as useful
which they will highly prize, not
so much for their intrinsic worth,
as for The fond memories attached to
them.
Miss Noetling was one of our towns
most popular young ladies, to know hel
was to be her friend, and she will be
missed by all. The groom is rising
young divine, who is serving Luther
an congregation at LaGrange, Ind,
where he has hosts of friends. After
the wedding supper the newly wedded
couple took carriage for Sunbury
from whence they started on thell
wedding trip. The bride will accom-
pany her husband to his western home
where she will heartily enter into the
duties of a pastors wife. We wish
them long, happy and prosperous
life"

Young Enos Jacoby, whose dis
appearance from home since Friday,
October IL, has been the cause of
great worriment on the part of his
mother, returned on Tuesday. 1t
appears that the lad had company,
of about his own age, and together
the two had been stealing their
way over the country on freight
trains. They attended the Fair at
Frederick City, Maryland, and
went from there to Washington,
where they were taken in charge by
the authorities and sent home.

Twelfth Bi-Uounty Convention.

The I2th Bi-County Convention of
the Young Peoples Societies of Chris
tian Endeavor OF Montour and Co
lumbia counties met in the Christian
church, Benton, Pa, Oct. 10 and 20.
The preparatory meeting was an in
spiraton to all who attended. Mr..
w. ID. Lanmaster of Danville, talked
beautifully on "The Secret of the
Christians Power" Among other
good things he said: Ist. You must
possess salvation. Be sure you are
saved and. You must have much of
the Word Of God hid IN your heart.
3rd. You must have the Holy Spirit.
Be willing to fail two or three times
for Christ when you start to talk for
Him. One great trouble in the world
today is the unwllingness of the
people to let God rule over them.
The richest of Gods goodness is
thrown out in His love; you can &C
cept or reject it, just as you choose.
A very impressive Covenant SER
vice was conducted by the President,
Rev. G. II. Hemingway of Blooms
burg. The sunrise prayer meeting
led by Mr.. II. K. Furman of Dan
vile, was a new feature and was
thoroughly enjoyed by large num-
Der.
A most cordial welcome to dele
gates and friends was extended by
Rev. Geo P Morse. Reports of Of
hcers and superintendents were very
encouraging, yet all laid great stress
upon more promptness on the part OF
the corresponding secretaries of Local
| Societies.
Two amendments to the coustitu-
ton were discussed and adopted. One
provides for an additional officer, the
Chairman of the Correspondence
Committee; the other for an extra ses-
sion of the Annual Convention, be-
ginning hereafter with an evening
session.
DR.. r. Rock of Shamokin, Pa, gave
a very earnest and spirited talk on
"Christian Citizenship" he thinks a
christian should be loyal to his party
only when his party is loyal to his
God. Quite number took part in
the symposium on "How can we
achieve greater success in the moral
movements of the day. Much interest
was manifest in the Question Meeting
as to the solution of the difficulties
that arse in the works of the Societies.
The contribution of Christian En-
deavor to the "Eellgious Life of the
Century" was discussed by Rev. G.
H. Hemingway. In the absence of the
speakers as given on the programme,
an excellent address was delivered on

Gratitude In Women.

Are feelings of gratitude absent in
women? That clever gentleman who
does the Private Diary at Cornhill is
not quite satisfied upon the subject.

gratitude depends upon Imagination, it
may well be that women, having less
imagination than men. are less CRATE

MR.. BRYAN'S NEW POSITION ON
SILVER.

Mr.. Bryan has also gone very far to
placate certain elements Of the Easte IN
Democracy by giving it to be unde :.
stood that his position as q bimetalli, It
does not Of necessity compel him {,
adhere inflexibly to the precise ratio Of
10 to 1. When Mr.. Bryan goes thus fa-,
however, he really comedies the whole
situation. For when the 16 to ratio,
regarded as rock-bed principle, like
one Of the ten commandments, is aban.
doned, the whole question of monetary
standards becomes one Of expediency in
the light OF practical commercial con.
ditions. When one looks at the none
tary question 10 this practical way. it 10
evident that with entire consistency q
man. who had been an out-and-out 16 to
l bimetallist 10 1880 might have become
an international bimetallist in 1890, and
might be gold monometalis 10 1900.
This would imply no tickle mindedness
on the part Of the citizen, but simply
his recognition OF the fact that mining
conditions, the metal market, and other
essential factors had undergone great
changes. These changes might be
likened to those which have overtaken
agriculture in parts OF the middle west
where farmers who had been wheat
growers 10 1870, we're corn-growers ia
1880 and dairy men in 1890. In exist.
ing conditions Of business it would be
mistake, little short OF madness, to at.
tempt to force radical changes in the
current standard Of value. Mr.. Bryan
seems to have come to see that the Is to
dogma has no pertinence to the con.
ditions that are going to prevail 10 the
United States in the year 1900, and that
1t would be hopelessly Quixotic to 1T
tempt to force presidential campaign
upon 30 obsolete an issue. 1t does not
follow by any means that bimetallism
may not become thrilling and vital
iesue again at some time In the future;
but that subject is not one that men
will care to cay much about in the ap.
preaching campaign. From 1.-THE Pro-

An ex-sea captain, now living In

convicts mutinied, numbering the

was called to Chicago, a thought" as
he calls his problems, came to him as
he reached the railway station In Jer-

and was soon in deep study. When
the porter called out Chicago" Ed
son turned to fellow passenger with
the remark that the porter must be
joking, as they had only just gotten
outside of Jersey City. The wizards
mind was so concentrated upon an
electrical problem that the twenty-four
hours seemed but fleeting moment TO
him. After the suburbs of Jersey City
had been left behind his mind was
closed to everything, and he became
80 absorbed In his problem that he did
not realize that all his fellow passen-
gers had had nights sleep and had

A traveller relates that while passing
through small forest in Brazil he was
attracted by the rapidly uttered cries
OF alarm of a bird, and. wishing to
learn the cause, he made his way to
the tree whence he thought the sounds
proceeded, and, looking up, saw that q
serpent was slowly winding itself Zip
toward Q nest Of unfledged little ones.
While watching it's movements the
male parent bird arrived. who. cir

the tree. swiftly darted further away
into the forest. and In few seconds
returned with large leaf In its little
mouth. which 1t instant.y placed over
the nest. and then new up higher.
Meantime the serpent wound itself
slowly up the tree and reached the
nest, but. on putting its lad over the
side, quickly started back, descended
the tree, and was lost In the UNDER
wood. The traveller. berg deeply in

tives that the leaf of q certain tree ID
deadly poison to the serpent. How

this? What mortal can say? What
