4 Modest Statesman.

Under the above head the Bal.
tmore Sun comments on Senator
Turkeys withdrawal:
Senator Turley, of Tennessee,
has attained national distinction
hy declining reelection to the
United States Senate on the
ground that he is unwilling to de.
vote the latter part of his life to
a constant struggle for Office" and
that Tennessee has many sons
better fitted for the place. In a
letter formally declining re.elec.
ton the senator insists that he
prefers private life TO pnblic of.
flee. Such sentiments are so eX
traordinary nowadays as to be
called proprietary un' American.
The American in public life at
present is perfectly willing to
struggle for Office and considers
the fact that his state has "0ther
sons better fitted for places irrev.
aleut He says nothing about il
himself aud objects TO being re-
minded of il. AS for the charms
of private life, he wants Office to
make him a living. Senator Tur-
lev is an abnormal man. His sen
timents do himself, his state and
the nation honor aud his statue
ought to decorate the entrance
to the national capitol.

At the Methodist Church, in Hickman,
Wednesday evening, lIth inst, by
Rev. w G.. Hefiey, Mr.. HORACE LU-
TEN and Miss KATE NJ. RANDLE.
In this issue we chronicle one of the
most pleasant events that has taken
place in our little city for some time.
Peace and quiet have lowered about the
homes of our young people, and until
last Wednesday evening, the tranquil.
ity of our social circles had not been
perturbed for many months past, but
cupid, that sly little fox, always
where-he onght to be, brought about
the elimination of happy court
ship between one of our most charming
young ladies-Miss Kate NJ Randle and
DIR. Horace Luten. prominent young
physician of Fulton.
The occasion was one of unusual in
terest to their many friends and rela-
tives As evidenced by the fact that for
some time before the words were said
which spake their hearts together, the
\ Methodist Church was filled with
large concourse of people from our own
city, together With number of visitors
il from other phases. Z Z. !, ~ 1,

of his groomsman, Mr. Ward Luten.
| After meeting in the chancel, Rev. w.
G.. Hefley, In his inimitable way pro-
nounced them man and wife, thus:
Two hearts like fallen raindrops met,
When Cupid quickly Joined their meeting,
And with loves arrow linked their lives
And set two hearts as one TO beating.
The BRIDE was attired in an exquisite
suit of white organdie, trimmed in Val.
enclcnnes lace, with hat TO match, and
carried white carnations The groom
wore the conventional frock Of black
with light trousers and gloves.
Immediately after the marriage they
left for their home in Fulton, followed
| by the Sindest wishes from their many

THEATRICAL.
"a Young Wife"

At the Lyceum last night very in
terestng drama, "A Young Wife," was
presented before a well pleased audi
ence. The play is from the pen of j.
X. Tilotson, who has written num-
Der of successful dramas, among them
THE Planters Wife, "Lynwood,
"Oueena" and others.
The first act shows the library of
Judson Douglass, the New York bank
er. where a robbery is committed by
his son, Hubert, who, years before,
has been discarded by his father, In
the effort of the son to escape with his
booty. he kills his father The murder
is discovered by Ethel the young wife
Of Clarence Douglass an adopted son.
Evidence points to the young wife as
the murderess. The second act shows
the den of thieves in the slums in the
neighbOrhood of the BOwery where
Hubert and his associates are having a
debauch. Through a trick, Ethel is in
duCed TO enter the den, but escapes
very cleverly The third act takes place
in the Douglass mansion. Here there
is an exciting scene between detec-
tive who believes that Ethel is guilty,
thS young husband and his wife. In
the fourth and last act the young wife
proves her innocence, the real muir
derer is discovered and everything
ends happily.
The play is staged in a very elaborate
manner and is presented by an excel
lent company which includes such fin
ished artists as Misses Selma Herman
! Margaret Dale owen, Charlotte Crane
MesSrs Emmett G. King Malcolm Will
| liams, John l.. Wooderson, Neil Flor
ence, Claude Gillingwater Frank
| Sheridan, James J. De Barre. The
| play will be repeated this afternoon

THE Night Before Christmas" which

intensely human and powerfully writ
ten, with a plot of unfiagging interest,
rich dramatic incident and original hui
NOR, necessitating a cast of more than
ordinary ability, while requirement is
amply met in the company that has

Battle Scared Hero"

The clank of sabre and Jingle of spur

slightly incongruous setting for the alb
surdities of modern farce comedy the
god of war has more to do with the
tragic than the humorous side of life
yet in "a Battle-Scarred Hero" the
new farcical comedy which Bert Coote
will bring to the Lyceum next Monday
evening, the farce is said to be en-
tirely different from anything seen i'm
late years, the complications are of the
most extraordinary character, and all
in all is said to furnish a better vehicle
for Mr., Cootes peculiar talents than
anything in which he has yet been seen,
