Before the appointed hour the doors had to be closed to prevent the entrance of more people to the crowded interior The large attendance testified to the popularity of the principals in the wedding.
 Never was there fairer bride elect than Miss Elizabeth Col lins, nor happier groom than Mir. Guy E. Thompson. They are representatives of honored families and enjoy the esteem ot a very large circle of friends, so many of whom found pleasure in assembling to see the union oi the young couple solemnized The church presented an attrac- tive scene, filled with a splendid representation of the city's cul-

ture and refinement. Around the altar there were groupings ofpotted plants, forming back ground for the wedding partv's rendezvous. The wedding march issued from the organ as the party entered the church in pairs. The bridesmaids were Misses Mary l.. Collins, sister of the bride; Bessie Fletcher, Kath- erine Adams, Eva Reichardt, Lu- la Halle, Birdie Hudspeth and May Carl. The groomsmen were Messrs. A. K. Collins, brother of the bride; Chas. S. NJ Marshall. F. l.. Mccain, Pat w. Crawford, IT,. Felix w. McCler- kin and Wm. B. Stark. The bride. charmingly attired, was accompanied by her father. They were met at the altar by the groom-elect and his "best man, " Mir Claude C. Thompson. Then the organ softened it's music and the pastor of the church. Rev. A. 0. Evans, proceeded to per form the ceremony Standing upon either side were the brides maid and groomsmen. The of ficiating minister invested the performance of the ceremony with impressive eloquence, con- cluding 1t with beautiful pray CT. Altogether it was one of the prettiest weddings ever seen in a Little Rock church. At it's con- clusion the bridal party repaired to the home of the brides parents, where a wedding supper was given. Mir. Thompson and bride took the north-bound Iron Mountain train at S:25 for a fortnight's tour in the north, af- ter which they will return to make this city their future home.
 The bride is a daughter of Hon. and Mrs. Chas. S. Collins, and she is amiable, accomplished and cultured, a typical represen- tative of the admirable woman hood in which the Southland feels a just pride

welcome assistance at the hands of a man in the audience, who denied that President Mckinley intends to retain the Philippines. MT. Bryan nonplussed him by quoting from one of McKinley's speeches, in which he said; Il cannot per init myself to doubt that these islands will be retained under the benign sovereignty of the United States.
 The interrupter next declared that most of the Filipinos were in revolt against Aguinaldo.
 Are you not fattering Agui- naldo too much, ; asked Mir. Bry- an, "when you assert that with d handful of men he cannot only subjugate his own race, but hold in check and frustrate great American army" (Cheers.)
 A third time the man broke in to declare that the trade of the Philippines Is valuable, Mir. Bryan rose to his full height and his eyes flashed fire as he thundered
 T dare you to measure the lives of American boys and the heart aches of American mothers by the paltry dollars and cents of com merce; l dare you to do it!"
 And the crowd went into a veri- table paroxysm of applause. Then the man in the crowd declared that Providence was leading the Unit ed States to the Philippine Islands. He had not long to wait his an- swer.
 "Ah, my friend," came the re- ply, II never yet cornered an im- perialist who did not finally lay the blame on the Almighty" (Laughter and cheers.)
 Abraham Lincoln was once asked if he wasn't anxious to have the Lord on his side, continued MT. Bryan. "He answered No, but I m anxious to be on the Lord side.

.ToUs INFANT.

Cunulative reasons showing why the appellative criminal, ," applied to the trusts, is abund- antly deserved are given in the testimony of William H, Grif- tiths. tin-plate maker of Wash ington, Pa.
 Without his consent and against his will, his fellow-stock- holders sold out the plant in which he was largely interested to the Tin-Plate Trust, and, when he raised large subscrip- ton of capital and attempted to start an independent factory i'll competition with the trust, he discovered that the machinery for making tin plate was owned by the trust, and he could not buy an equipment.
 He and his partners were mak- ing profit of 20 per cent when their mill was absorbed. At that time the price of tin plate was $2.60 a box. Subsequent ly the trust raised the price to $5 65 per box, thereby clearing a profit of 100 per cent.
 Other points in Mir. Griffith's S testimony were that so out of the 272 plants bought in by the combine have been closed. throw ing out hundreds of skilled and unskilled workmen; that the capitalization of S5O,OOO,O00, made by the trust, IS hvpothe- cated upon properties whose cash value was S12,000, ,O00, and that the canners are con- plaining generally that the trust is supplying them with an arti- cle thinner and in other ways in ferior to that made by the tin plate mills when they were inde- pendent and competitive facto- rieS.
 All of which goes to show how one of the infant prodigies off pro. lection has grown into a giant that issssuppressing competitive manufactures, throwing labor out of employment, and levying exorbitant tribute upon every household in the land. And it is doing this with the approval oi the Republican party and by the powerful aid of it's prosperity. producing protective tariff, de signed especially to keep out in fant industries from being de voured by the pauper labor oi Europe Republic.

Mother Friend

We know that in thousands of cases it has proved more than blessing to expectant mothers. It overcomes morn ing sickness It relieves the sense of tightness. Headaches cease, and dan ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is shortened and shorn of most of the pain.
 We know that many doctors recom- mend it, and we know that multitudes of women go to the drug stores and buy 1t because they are sure their physicians have no objections. We ask a trial just fair test. There is no possible chance of injury being the result, be- cause Mothers Friend is scientific. ally compounded It is sold at $I bot tie. and should be used during most of the period of gestation, although great relief is experienced if used only short time before childbirth.

THE STATE REPUBLICAN SAYS;

The Democratic papers just now are lamenting the fact that so many incompetent men have been sent to the legislature. This is d sign that augurs we'll for the fu- ture, if in their blind partisanship they do not continue to support any fool who. happens to be label ed "democrat" and secure the nomination'by some hook or crook This from the Searcy Beacon is good "
 Men were sent to the late leg islature who were no more fitted for the place than black smith would be to mend a very delicate watch. They had not the capaci- ty even though they had the dispo sition to make or amend necessary laws and as result our statutes are encumbered with laws which in many cases are detrimental and in others useless because of their am biguity. Let us stop our way of electing men brcause they are clev- CT fellows, or because of some sen- timent. Until we do this Arkan- sas will never reach the position among states to which she is just ly yentitled. Let us choose our rep resentative because of their ability, and leave severely alone that class of men whose only plea for sup port is of some faneied right to d second term. The position is one of too great importance to be wasted on the demagogue, office seeker, or the merely good fellow. y
 The above is true in every par ticular. There was not d dozen men in the whole of the last legis- lature that was fit to sit on an in telligent jury and no amount of blind partisanship should ever per init them to hold an office where they have the chance to misrepre- sent their constituency again. Away with that "clever fellow" ideal Its contrary to all law and decency. Let the people elect good men and men of ability to represent them in the next legisla- tlre.-Rison Bazoo.
 The last legislature-like all prior ones-was not made up al together of such material as 1t should have been. but 1t was not so had as above described. One half of the members, at least, were average men of the state and had they not been handi- capped by the inefficients they would doubtless have done very well and returned to their re- spective homes in decent time. One great trouble with the last legislature was it's staying quail ties It required too much time to transact the business, and as extra time cost the people about S1.000 per day, they had a right to kick" Sixty days sessions should be the rule, and not the exception.

"A Word to Doctors

We have the highest regard for the medical profession. Our preparations are not sold for the purpose of antagon- izing them, but rather as an aid. We lay it down as an established truth that internal remedies are positively injuri- ous to expectant mothers. The distress and discomforts experienced during the months preceding childbirth can be al- leviated only by external treatment-by applying liniment that softens and re- laxes the over-strained muscles. We make and sell such liniment, com blning the ingredients in a manner hitherto unknown, and call it

Resolutions of Respect.

WHEREAS, A kind and loving Father has, in his wise providence, called from our midst our friend and associate, Mrs. Alice Morris, Be H Resolued:
 That we, the members of the Woman's Foreign Missionary So- ciety, offer to her memory trib- ute of affection and esteem.
 That, during the period of her membership with the Society, ever since it's organization, she was faithful in attendance and alert to the interest of the Society.
 That, in her death, our Society has sustained a great loss. which has cast shadow over our entire community.
 In the language of Washington Irwin, we may say of our friend : "There is a voice from the tomb sweeter than song; there is a re- membrance of the death to which we turn, even from the charms of the living"
 That we extend to the bereaved husband and son our heartfelt sym- pathy, in the loss of their loved one.
 That these resolutions be placed on the records of our Society and a copy be sent to the bereaved ones l; and, lastly, copy sent to the MONTIcELLoNIAN and Hermean Messenger.

 and tyranical rulings of Chairman Redwine stopped all business. Now since the adjournment of the con- yention Gen. Stone is out in card in which he reeites in detail the treachery and bseech of promises of Goebel and his followers, aud in the meantime the Louisville Dispatch (the free silver organ of the State), the Lexington Herald and the Rus sellville Democrat have bolted the ticket. Former Congressman Owens and large number of Lex ingtol citizens have publicly an nounced their intentions to scratch Goebel, but as yet neither Stone nor Hardin has declared bis intentions. Perhaps they are whetting their little knives while a great number of Kentucky Democrats remain yet to be heard from.
 The situation in Kentucky is un. fortunate for the party, and the Democratic ticket would be doomed to certain defeat in November were it not for tLe fact that there is great dissatisfaction with Gov. Bradley's administration and also great dissension among the Repabli- cans. As it is, Kentucky is debat- able ground and the result in doubt. There is DO telling what the out come may be.

What is Tomato? IA Vegetable or

Pine Bluff, Ark, July II, 1899. Editor of the Graphic:
 I see from your paper of recent date that some friend bad sent you Q tomato weighing one aud three quarter pounds, and you state that 1t is the largest tomato raised in this part of the country Allow me to say that three years ago Mrs. G. E. Valiant gave me some tomato plants of the 'Pondorozau variety. | raised one tomato that weighed a fraction over two pounds; for the truth of this refer you to Mrs. Dr. Goree. as she weighed the tomato. By the way, is the tomato fruit or a vegetable? Either way, I shall for the future, as in the past, con- 1inue to use them as both.
