an important factor in regulating the cost

wedding Cards Went Aatrnr.

Robert Gordon Hardie, the artist, and
Miss Amy Sigourney Stone, the daughter
of DIR. Robert Stone, were married at DR..
Stones home, ITO Madison avenue, on
Thursday evening. -Four hundred invita-
lions to the ceremony were entrusted TO a
postman two weeks ago, but were never
delivered. Mr.. Hardie learned of the
blunder the day before the wedding at the
Players club, when he asked several If
his fellow members If he would meet them
on the following evening.
Meet you where?" asked one.
why, at my wedding" replied Mr..
Hardie.
YES, I'll be glad to come" said the
friend, "but have not received any in
vitatiOn.'
The artist then made as thorough an in
vestigation as the time would permit and
learned that none of the 400 invitations
mad reached the persons to whom they
were addressed. Other invitations. sent
out before and after these, had carried all
right. Duplicate invitations were written
hastily and despatched by special messen-
ger on the day of the wedding. One of Mr.
Hardies friends, when asked last night if
he had attended the wedding replied !:
why, no; | didn't get my invitation
until five hours before the time set for the
ceremony. My invitation was mailed at
the Madison Square station of the post
office at o'clock in the afternoon of
Thursday, and l received it by special
delivery only an hour later. The wedding
was at 5 o'clock. l kept the outside en-
velope 10 show to Mr.. Hardie just to back
up my excuse for not being present, for |
certainly should have gone to the wedding
If had known about it in time. Today
l received the announcement card from

The death of Charles l. Rice, the Athol

factured ladies' and gents underwear.
He was general selling agent. Mr. Rice
years ago, and was quite badly injured.
In May 1898, with William Miller,
he bought out Logan d Wiley, and few
months later, Mr.. Rice purchased Mr..
Mller's share.
On August last Mr.. Rice was united in
marriage at Brattleboro with Miss Agnes
Coolidge, popular Athol school teacher.
Mrs. Rice has been III for over six weeks,
and is now at her home in Brattleboro.
She has the sympathy Of her many friends
in both AthOl aud elsewhere In her present
trouble. Besides a widow, Mr.. Rice leaves
father and mother, and a brother and
sister. The former is C. II. Rice, general
manager Of the Niagara Insurance com
pany Of the New England states. His Of
fee is on Liberty Square, Boston. Pre-.
vious TO his illness Mr.. Rice was most
jovial man, and all who knew him al that
time say that the past few years has m ade

George Hermans farmer Of North
Stephentown, y. Y, left his home for
Lebanon Springs Monday morning with a
load Of cider apples. On the way he
stopped at the home of woman named
Rhoda Hoi ton, who lived in Stephentown
with her daughter, Eliza Jane. After some
talk with the women, Hermans asked the
daughter to 90 with him to Lebanon. She
refused, and ariel ensued, both mother
and daughter taking part in the wordy ar
gument. Finally something was said that
enraged Hermans, and pulling a revolver
from his pocket he fred at both women
killing them almost instantly. He then
turned the weapon on himself. and inflicted
a wound from which he cannot. recover.

The Late IohnC. Rop.s,

The death Of John c. Ropes, at his home
in Boston, will be deeply felt and widely.
He was leader at the Boston bar, and his
reputation for learning and sound iudg-
ment made him an acknowledged authori-
ty on real estate and trusts, the two
branches Of practice to which he devoted
himself with great success. His home in
Boston and his house at York Harbor were
the seats Of charming hospitality, al
though he was a bachelor. But his main
study was military history and literature,
TO which he devoted many years Of careful
and critical labor, and his own contribu-
lions are Of permanent value and interest
His books on Waterloo and on "Napo-
leon" are admirable examples Of keen
analysis and thorough examination. His
writings on our own civil war are numer-
GUS and valuable, and the two volumes on
its history are marked by his original views,
his characteristic acumen, and his judicial
impartiality, doing full and equal Justice
10 both sides and TO all participants in that
long struggle. II is greatly to be regretted
that he did not live to write the real story
of Gettysburg and to bring his book down
through the closing campaigns of the war
TO its final ending.
