ALL IN A BUNCH.
Four Brothers Marry Four Sisters.
One Minister Did the Work, Occu.
plying an Hour.

Canal Dover, O., January "a most
remarkable wedding has just taken
place at the small village called Trail,
ten miles north of here, four brothers
being married to four sisters. The
four knots were tied at the home of the
four sister brides, who are the daugh-
ters of a prosperous farmer named
James Hochstettler. Their ages range
from Is to %, and the ages of their re-
spective husbands vary only slightly.
The grooms are the four sons of John
Sumers and are energetic young men
of good habits and some means. The
ceremony of marrying the four couples
occupied almost an hour, the same
clergyman performing all. The four
brothers and their wives will live with
in stones throw of each other.

New York, January 3.-Admiral
Sampson entertained his daughter,
whose marriage takes place TO morrow,
and her friends, aboard the cruiser
New York at luncheon to-day. The
Admiral has recovered from his recent
indisposition. Il went down to Wash
ington,' said the Admiral, and caught
cold. The doctors told me it was grip,
sc | went to bed. l feel now in first
rate condition, though | still have a
little cold. The reports that my eondi-
ton was serious was exaggerated and
my daughters wedding will not be
postponed on account of my own health
or any sickness in the family"
Admiral Sampson will not go on
leave Of absence, as has been generally
supposed. The navy department is
anxious for him to assume direct and
active command over the North Allan
tic Squadron, and he will indefinitely
postpone taking the rest which his
friends think he needs so much. In
the course of few weeks Admiral
Sampson is likely to be at sea again
on the New York, possibly in Cuban
waters, although the programme for his
squadron is not yet decided upon.
Among naval officers generally it is be-
lieved that SIMPSONS retention on sea
service indicates the department be-
lieves there is still much hard work
to be done by the navy in the West
Indies. Admiral SIMPSONS intimate
knowledge of all questions affecting
Cuba and his tact in dealing with the
inhabitants of that island have made
his services almost indispensable.

ABsENTEES TO MEET.
They viii Form an Organization and Con-
tinue the Fight on Quay.


HARRISBURG, Pa, January ga
will be held tomorrow morning to per-
feet a permanent organization. Either
Senator Flynn, of Allegheny, or Senator
elect Martin, of Philadelphia, will be
elected chairman The anti-Quay leaders
claim those who participated in the eau
Gus will not be bound by its action. They
take the position that it was not regu-
larly constituted gathering and that they
are not bound to vote for the nominee.
With the exception of four, all the alb
sentees signed a written pledge binding
them to keep away from the caucus.
Three of these were prevented from TAX
/ g part in the caucus by illness or en-
forced absence from the city, and the
fourth declined TO sign the paper, although
committed to vote against Quay. The
pledge follows:
I'VE, the undersigned members of the
Senate and House of Representatives of
the General Assembly of Pennsylvania,
being impressed with the gravity of the
present situation, and desiring to act for
the best interest of the Republican party
and the welfare of our State, hereby set
forth our views:
Under normal conditions we believe in
party regularity and the use of the party
caucus to determine party policies and
nominations. We believe that a Republic
can should and will be elected to the
United States Senate, and as one of the
candidates is at the present time over
Swallowed by grave charges, which if sus-
tanned, would render his election impos-
sible, and as said candidate has alleged
that said charges are not honestly made
and well founded in fact, but that he is
the victim of a political conspiracy to de-
feat and destroy him, we believe that
common fairness demands that such cam
didate should have the fullest opportunity
to present himself in the Senatorial eau
Gus freed from the damaging accusations
now pending in the courts of the common
wealth against him. And We further be-
lieve that undue haste in holding the
Senatorial caucus is unwise until the rule
returnable in the supreme court on the
seventh instant has been disposed of.
Entertaining these views. we there
fore agree with each and promise our
constituents not to participate in SEN
atorial caucus until after the supreme
court has granted or denied the petition of
said candidate"

Under the tailor gown you are to wear shirt waist. Sleeve protectors are to be in the shirt waist. The tailor bodice itself must not come against you. This Is decreed for the new gown, but 1t often lends itself to the requirements of the old one. The bodice is left unfas- tened just over the bust curve, and the shirt waist shows there in line of dain- ty freshness. The bodice is fastened below and at the collar A linen collar is inside the tailor collar and fastens to the collar band of the shirt. No neck tie is worn, but a stick pin such as would be worn in an ascot is used to fasten the perfectly plain choker collar of the bodice. This fastening at the throat over the shirt marks the differ ence between the bodice worn over q shirt and coat that a shirt accom- panies.
 She who has outdoor sport as part of her routine should have a top coat, a box affair of covert cloth in regular CO., vert color, with velvet collar. It comes little below the hips, has very big sleeves and generous armholes and is baggy all over It looks as much as possible as if she had borrowed her brothers coat. Such garment Is in bad taste worn in the city or on any but sporting occasion. It looks ex- tremely well in dog cart whether the wearer handles the reins or not. It is all right on the golf field if one merely follows the game, and in bad weather it may be worn if the wearer Is playing.

PRoUD IND PROPER.

Last evening New Havens Chamber of Commerce felt and exhibited much proper pride in the fact that one of it's members has been made President of Yale University. The dinner and the oratory were a shining success, and much progress was made toward a union, or reunion, of town and gown" There can be no doubt that the good feeling which found expression last evening will be beneficial all around and do much to bridge whatever chasm there was left. The remarks concern Ing President Hadley were genuinely hearty and. appropriate and his re- marks were as hearty and appropriate. Learning and commerce are good friends in New Haven.
