Preston-Janes.

At ST. Andrews chapel in Mani
tou, on Wednesday evening, occurred
the marriage of Mr.. Porter j. Pres.
ton of Las Animas and Miss Annie
James of MAnitou. Canon Radcliffe
of Denver, assisted by the Rev. Mr..
Bonnell, performed the ceremony.
The pretty little chapel was a lovely
background for the service which
united two happy hearts for better
or for worse. The chapel was beau
tifully decorated with immense
lunches of sweet pea blossoms,
whose delicate, yet subtle odors per.
meated the room, and the maiden
hair fern was used to add yet more
delicscy and beauty to the decora
tions. Soon after s o'clock the Cliff
House orchestra gave the first notes
of the wedding march, and the brid
al procession came to the chancel.
The party wss preceded by the vest
ed choir of young men, then follow
ed Canon Radcliffe and the Rev. Mr..
Bonnell. In the party were the ush-
ers and bridesmaids, the groom's
best man, the bridesmaid OF honor,
the flower girl, the cross bearer and
last but not least the groom and the
bride. Mr.. Thomas Barry Of Lamar
was the groomsman; the ushers were
Mr. Will Preston of Denver, Mr..
Charles Beach OF Lamar, and Messrs.
Will and Arthur James. Miss May
Ward was the brides first attendant.
The bridesmaids were Miss Audrey
Stevenson OF Greeley, Miss Ethel
Frazier, Miss Alta Rector. The
pretty flower girl, with her basket of
sweet pea blossoms, was Miss Cath.
crime James, and Master George
James was the bearer of the cross.
The bride was e1quisitely gowned
in beautiful creation, and envel-
oped in voluminous full length veil
and she carried a prayer. book in her
hands. The maids were dressed in
white made over colors, so that blue,
lavender, pink, orange and green
were in the color scheme and added
very much to the beauty of the affair.
The ring service of the Episcopal
church was used, and the beautiful
ceremony ended the party left the
church to the strains of joyous music.
A reception was held at the home OF
the bride, and those present were
profuse in their expressions OF good
will, and wishes of future happiness
for the bride and groom, who will
have bridal trip to Salt Lake City,
returning to Las Animas where they
will reside in the future. Colorado

A Plea For FREEDOM.

A few remarks have been sug-
gested US in behalf of my fellow
men, in regard to closing of
general merchandise stores, at a
fixed hour in the evening. We
may say that we have highly ap-
preciated the by-gone weeks, that
we have enjoyed by being free
after supper. We are thankful
for the favor, and should be more
SO, if we could enjoy the same
privileges during the beautiful
summer evenings. when we
could fully enjoy being out. and
exercise, which wonld mean a
great deal to us that have to be
closed up within four walls, from
rising in the morning until re-
tireing at night. We would not
only enjoy life more, but we
would live longer, and those two
factors are worth striving for.
We will not by any means, ask.
anything that we know would
come in conflict with the business
of the merchants, or in any way
be a loss to them, if such was the
case, we would drop the idea at
once. We are all faithfully work
ing to the interest of our pro-
prletors and it would be unjust
to ask anything that will lessen
their profits. We have careful
ly considered the matter, and
also heard the opinion of some of
the leading merchants in regard
to same, and come to the con-
cluslon that the same amount of
bnsniss can be done if we close
the stores at o'clock in the
evening, as if we keep open all
evening. We do not intend to be
unreasonable. but will agree that
there are four months during fall,
including September, October,
November and December, that it
is necessary to keep open even,
ings as long as business requires
it. There may be chance for
discussion as to the hour of clos
ing Thathas also been consider
ed. The majority seem to think
that the 2 hour will be more
beneficial to the stores than 8
o'lock, since the full force can
stay till closing time, while on
the other hand, we would have to
go to supper before closing time,
which would leave the store with
only half crew from supper time
to closing. An other thing we
have considered, if the early clos
ing will Interfere with merchants
also are handelig machienery.
We are fully convinced that
closing early does not in the least
interfere with machinery busi-
ness, since all machinery is out
side, and the deal must be made
where the machinery are. When
the deal is closed the customer
can be taken into the store, if
necessary, and settlement be
made without the least incon-
venience. Hope that this little
city will make a move forward to
an improvement that is Of such
vast Importance to the laboring
class.

EDITOR OF THE COURIER:

u
In your issue of Jan. 26th, ap-
peared statement from Romness,
which the author or the FIVE signers
are in very smooth way trying to
explain some trouble that existed be-
tween Rev. O. K. Quamme and P. P
Idsvoog, as the article was written by
one who was well aware OF the trouble
and is trying in such way to conceal
the facts. 1 kindly ask you to give
me space in your paper to give my
reasons. ask the congregation
at Romness not to consider me as
member Of their church, and alsogave
my reason for believing that Rev.
Quamme was not true minister of
the gospel as was reported by the car
respondent, the "Rep."
shall try in the shortest way pos
sible to explain some Of my grounds.
First-I asked Mr.. Quamme at the
annual meeting, January, '9S, to give
his explanation why he as pastor and
also as chairman Of building COM
mittee, had been acting so partial in
regard to some, / called important
matter. We as building committee
were called upon to decide, and why
should he deny his own words previ-
Gus to this, when he had expressed
himself to understand it to be as
said then the agreement was.
Second ] also asked him (Quamme)
to explain why he as minister, could
slander, as he had done public and
private one party that is we'll known
in this neighborhood. Quamme's
SANDER being: you could not rely on
this party either on his workmanship,
q his morality in general. Third
/ also asked for explanation why he
could say at the time we met in full
committee to accept the church from
the contract. He then said in re-
gard to some remarks I made about
some atternotacccrding to specific
ations; that was informed by
Haugen to make this trouble. I
told him, it does not become you as
pastor to say things that are no
truth in, and you better stop or you
will be held responsible. At that
time in Cooperstown, as referred to,
Mr.. Quammc asked me how much
would donate for chairs, ! said I
could not give anything now but
shall see later. Quamme's answer
was: "Oh you are mad" AS one
of those that have signed the state
ment was there and heard it, don't
blame him for believing that I got
mad after Mr.. Quamme expressed
himself in such manner.
After this annual meeting ad-
journed told Mr.. Quamme I
could not have faith in him as pastor
until he had given his reason for say
ing and doing asI have referred to
above, but Mr.. Quamme never called
that year, and I do not go to his
meetings. One meeting, Jan. ed,
1899, I did attend in order to have
some understanding from the pastor.
! called his attention to the matter
whereupon he expressed himself that
everything was fixed up and explained
and just brought il up here to hurt
him and his good work, and he
further said I was directly blamed
for the trouble he had with another
ex-membsr nearly two years ago,
and the way be expressed himself, to
that ! must say he willfully move be-
ing to defend himself. Ithen asked
I The congregation not Is consider me

COLONIAL DAYS.


Some time ago an interesting discov-
cry was made in the State Library of a
record of claims, presented by residents
of Morris county, for losses sustained by
the Continental army. All patriotic
Americans are interested in everything
connected with the Revolution, and as
the CHRONICLE has had most to do with
this find. it determined that its readers
should have the benefit of the discovery.
The old, musty papers has been deci-
phered with some difficulty, but they
have fully repaid for all the labor be-
slowed. They are the records Of more
than hundred years ago. Apart from
their historic value, they are instructive
as giving glimpses of the mode of life of
those who preceded us by many gene
rations in the march of life; they afford
ideas of the values of articles used in
every day life. The names of those, who
are now with us enjoying our respect
and confidence, will be found here, and
among them will be recognized some
who are remembered with respect and
generation.
Below will be found continuation of
the records, and other extracts will APP
pear weekly until the whole is completed:

BEWARE OF MYTHICAL PRO-
MOTORS.

The trolley agitation is not confined
alone, Judging by comments which may
be noted in all our exchanges to Norris
town and Morris County.
AS rule the press appears to favor its
introduction, always, however, bearing
in mind that this question is one that
should be carefully considered from
every standpoint, more especially when
it is borne in mind that when the trolley
comes, it will be a fixture until cheaper
and more convenient method of travel
becomes general.
1t is just as we'll at this time for the
residents of the county to remember that
mythical trolley lines are being can
vassed, by plausible pleaders for free
franchises. These would-be promoters
again bring to mind Cervera's ''phantom
fleet" so often reported as about to lay
waste the entire New Jersey coast,
and which at last materialized only as
wrecks along the Cuban shore.

DEwEY's COLOMBO WELCOME

Admiral Dewey received more than a
hearty welcome at Colombo. Statutes
from the forts, a silver casket, and an
address for Dewey, and 1000 pounds of
good Ceylon tea for the crew of the
Olympia testified to the genuiness of the
welcome. What seems to have affected
the admiral more than anything else is
the lusty British cheer raised on the
jetty when he landed. "We are $4,000
miles from home," he said in his address
to his entertainers, "but that cheer will
be heard in America, although the way
in which it has touched me shall never
be able to fully express At the present
rate the modest and reticent admiral will
get practice enough to make him first
class speaker as we'll as a peerless fighter
before he gets home.

Three Days and Nights.

Steamship Avalon Was In Pack
Three Days and Nights.
New York, June Bottle British
steamship Avalon, which arrived at
quarantine last evening, found an ice
pack during her voyage from Shields to
Pilley's island and was held a prisoner
tor three days and three nights. The
pack was encountered on June II in lati-
ude 1920 north, longitude 1870 west a
region in which ice is very plentiful at
this season. The Avalon entered the
pack at Z o'clock on the evening of June
II. With nightfall came a dense fog,
and the engines were stopped, the foes
grinding against the vessels Sides and
preventing sleep on the part Of any of
the crew.
When morning came, it was seen that
the ship was Surrounded by an immense
field of ice, dotted here and there with
glstening bergs and smaller hummocks.
No clear water was in sight, but in the
southeast the pack seemed thinner than
it was in other directions, and, steaming
slowly, the vessel ground her way
through the foes, heading ON a south
easterly course The difficulties of navi-
cation were so great, however, that it
was three days before the Avalon could
clear the pack and reach open water.

Private Brenner's Stories of Cruel
ties to Prisoners False.

ties to Pr1sOners raise
Chicago, June 30.-Dean G. Worcester,
member of the Philippine commission,
has cabled The Times Herald denying re-
ports that Filipino prisoners were shot
by order of American officers. This was
in response to a cable inquiry as follows:
Charles Bremen, Minneapolis, writes
home: Company l mad four prisoners
and did not know what to do with them.
They asked Captain Bishop what to do.
He said, "You know orders" and four
natives fell dead Gable the truth"
Commissioner Worcester's answer fol
lows:
'"Ihe original statement of Bremen is
untrue. Brenner's charge was promptly
investigated by the military authorities
here. No facts were ascertained to sup
port the charge at the time of first in
quiry, but the investigation has been re-
uewed and is being prosecuted vigorously
and extensively. This investigation has
not yet been completed.
"Brenner's charge has some semblance
of truth, for the reason that it is now be-
lieved that two prisoners were shot in the
heat of battle for refusing to pass to the
rear when ordered to do so.
"This matter is being probed to the bot
tom. 1t is an isolated case. The inhab-
itants of the towns recently captured had
been maltreated, robbed and left desti
tute by the insurgents.
"The natives rejoice at the arrival of
the American troops, who neither burn
their homes nor loot their property and
who feed the hungry. The inhabitants
are resuming their ordinary occupations
and are ready to cooperate with us.
"The wounded insurgents are brought
to Manila, where they receive the same
care and attention as our own wounded"
