"~ADSWORTH DISPATCH.
SILVER SPOLs.
The Silver Party State Cen
tral Committee 10 Harmony
Like the Kilkenny Cats.

The Silver Party State Central
Committee met at Reno yesterday.
The Silver Party rags that have been
common in offering themselves for sale
are crying rape. 1t all occurred
through resolutions offered as before
all kinds Of free love prevailed.
Senator "Liy." Of Carson put in
this joker:
RESOLVED. That the question Of
fusion with the other opponents Of the
gold trust properly belongs to the State
convention. and tlat it Is not the pro-
vince of the committee to dictate the
terms upon which fusion may be eff
fected.
1t was cremated quickly.
Willie Sharon poked "Huffy" in the
ribs and woke him to:
RESOLVED. That it Is the sense OF
the committee that we accept the in
vitation Of the Democratic party and
unite with them in a joint call for a
State convention for the nom
nation Of candidates. and with
them to combine and act as one politi-
cal party in the coming campaign.
Then Beck who Is really ready al.
ways to "sic EN-" slipped this and took
a seat on the chandelier:
RESOLVED, That we accept the in
vltation Of the Democratic party,
through their State central committee
and issue a call for a State convention
to meet al the same time and town
with them. and II Is hereby further
RESOLVED. That a committee be APP
pointed by this body to confer with the
Democratic State central committee
to issue the call.
That took everybody into the fight
but Beck.
The Beers then fired this plum pud-
ding at the British:
RESOLVED, That the communica-
ton Of the Democratic party in regard
to fusion Is met with favor by this body
and that a committee be appointed to
confer with a Ike committee from that
body to arrange that both conventions
meet at the same town and time and
that the question Of fuslon be left with
the convention.
The following committee was ap
pointed to confer with the Democrats:
Gov. Sadler. w. E. Sharon. Ban
Rosenthal. Benz. Curler and !. 3.
Fitzgerald.

One OF the most unique and most rO'
mantle weddings among the Afro
Americans that has caused a great deal
OF favorable and unfavorable comment
in g religious and social world, oc.
Cured on Thursday, August 10. at the
home of the happy bride, 11a9 E Bslti'
more street, this city, at noon.
Bishop 81. M. Turner, one Of the
most widely known Bishops of the A.
NJ. E, Church led to the altar MIS-.
Harriet E. Wayman, widow Of the
late Bishop A. W. Waymsn.
When the Guide reportes arrived in
the vicinity Of the Wayman mansion
and saw the long line of carriages which
blockaded the thoro olghfare 1t seemed
apparent that the whole, or nearly 80,
Negro population had turned out to
catch glimpse OF the bride and bride
groom, but on Investigating the cause,
it was found that Parish priest of the
Roman Catholic Church was being
buried. and that while across the way
from the church where the last sad
rites we're being performed, gladness
permeated everything and everybody.
The street despite the mournful cor
tege was quietly traversed by we'll
dressed ladies and gentlemen of the
| Afr0'American PERSUASION. who entered
the modest residence at 1929 e Balti
more street to be present at the mar
riage Of the distinguished ecelestiastic
and the deceased bishops wife.
A little after twelve O'Clock, some
one exclaimed: ooh! here they comev'
and those present turned their gaze in
the direction of the stairs; where they
saw the bridal party descending from
the second story front room and enter
ed the parlor. Bishop Turner, accom-
panied by Mrs. DR.. Harris, led the
party, and was followed by Mrs. Way
man, the bride, leaning On the arm of
DR.. Winsey. The bride, who is about
sixty years old, was dressed in steel
cashmere, trimmed with gray chiffon.
Bishop Turner wore his street clerical
dress. He is sixty.six years of age.
Bishop James A. Handy, Of this city
assisted by Bishop B. F. Lee, Of Ohio,
and Dr.. John Hurst of Bethel A. M. e.
church, then performed the ceremony.
The ministers wore their ecclesiastical
robes, and the regular Methodist e pis
copaI service was read. The ring was
then placed on the brides finger, and
the bridal party joined In the Lords
prayer.
The ceremony uniting the Bishop to
his hearts choice did not occupy more
than ten minutes, and as Bishop Handy
completed the service, he said to Bishop
Turner humorously:
"That's your wife" Those psesent
at the ceremony laughed, and the bride
was Immediately showered with con
gratuIatlons and kisses by her numer-
GUS friends. Bishop and Mrs. Turner
then held reception, number of Mrs.
Turner'S friends and relatives being
introduced to her husband. Refresh
| ments were served after the nuptials
and pieces of the wedding cake were
distributed. ALI the while the marriage
was taking place those persons on the
outside who were not SO fortunate as to
have received invitations, or who did
not know the couple, were peeriDg

which would cause one to infer
that the article is, in whole or IN
part, butter. The term "butterine'
or any English word suggesting
butter should be avoided.
The terms OF this law are very
broad, add If the purpose OF the
Government is to puta stop to the
sale of all products not made OF
milk and cream entirely, the pro
visions of the statute are such as to
secure this result beyond perad
venture. II prohibits not only the
sale or offering for sale as butter
of all products not wholly COM
posed of milk or cream, but makes
every butter maker and butter
seller liable for having such pro-
duct in his possession, however the
same may be labeled. II enforced,
it will drive such compounds out
OF all groceries and markets where
butter is offered for sale. AS a
consequence, all dealers in oleo-
margarine or any similar article,
whether wholesalers or retailers,
cannot have genuine butter on the
same or adjoining premises. II
they deal in tais product. which is
not forbidden to be sold as such,
it must be as a separate and inde.
pendent trade. The terms OF the
law are wide enough to embrace
hotel and restaurant keepers; but
whether it will be enforced to that
extent, is not possible to predict.
Strictly construed, it would eff.
fectually prevent not only dealers,
but users, from having both butter
and oleomargarine on their prem
isss at the same time.
am by no means sure that such
absolute prohibition would be det-
rimental to trade in this product.
An establishment keeping only
this manufactured article, or a
grocery keeping no butter, but
selling margarin Of a good quality
at a price notably lower than but
ter, which is very dear in this mar
ket, might be a success. The
question is whether large consum-
ers in hotels, restaurants and PEN
siSns would be willing to proclaim
that they furnish no butter to their
patrons.

TRADE HINTS FROM our
CONSULS ABROAD.

OLEOMARGARINE IN FRANCE -
Consul A. w, Tourgee, writing
from Bordeaux, says:
A recent trial Of parties before
the civil tribunal of Bordeaux, for
having in possession and Offering
for sale as butter articles composed
OF fatty substances, may be OF in
terest to American manufacturers
OF such products. The defendants
were 6ned 200 francs (S3S. S.6o) each,
and one was fined 5 francs (96,s
cents) more for having issued bills
OF sale covering margarin without
having specified the true character
OF the goods sold. The sentences
were considered light, this being
in the nature Of test case, from
which the defendants appealed.
There have been OF late several
judgments Of similar character in
different Departments OF France.
The law on which they are based
is three years OLD, but hitherto
there has been little evidence OF its
enforcement. 1t seems now that
the law officers have received in.
structions to prosecute for an Of
tense which has been so universal
that it has been almost impossible
TO obtain genuine butter in many
markets. What is the cause Of th e
present activity, am unable to
say. 1t may be because the trade
in French butter with England was
being affected, or because the i'm
portation OF oleomargarine is be.
coming prejudicial to the home
market Whatever the reason, it
will be we'll for American manu-
facturers exporting to France to
label their products very clearly in
French, giving on each package
the name OF manufacturer, place Of
manufacture, and weight Of pack
age, as well as name OF product.
Nothing must appear on the label

New METHOD OF DIMINISHING
THE FORCE OF WAVES AND SURF
An Italian gentleman, Baron Ben
venuto d'Alessandro, living in
Paris, 81 rue Bossiere, has invented
a new method OF protecting vessels
at sea, entrances to harbors, light.
houses, ETC., from the force OF surf
and waves, which he claims is
more efficient than the use uf oil.
His invention consists in retain
ing on the surface OF the water an
unsubmergible floating net by
means Of outriggers when used to
protect vessels in storms at sea,
and by attaching it to buoys
when used to protect lighthouses,
hydraulic works in construction,
entrances to harboTs, etc.
He bases the idea Of his inven
ton upon the principle that in
covering the surface Of the sea
with a thin, flexible, light and
floating body OF whatever nature,
the part covered forms a crust
under which the molecules OF the
imprisoned mass OF water cannot
move in the same manner as the
surrounding body OF uncovered
water, the result being that even
the most violen waves, upon reach
ing the edge OF the crust, instead
Of climbing oyer it, Of breaking or
of destroying it, will pass under it
as II there were fall or difference
of level. become fiattened out,
and lose much Of their force.
DEMAND FOR AUTOMOBILES IN
RUssIA.-Consul General Hollo-
way writes from St. Petersburg
that the Russian Minister Of War
is desirous Of purchasing a freight
automobile, to be propelled by
either steam or erosene, and pro-
poses that any manufacturer will
ship two such carriages, one for
steam and the other for kerosene,
to St. Petersburg, the War Depart
ment will pay the freight and duty
on both, purchase the one best
suited for its purpose, and return
the other The machines are to
be in ST. Petersburg by June, 900.
Manufacturers will please send
catalogues, giving weight, inside
dimensions, price, rapidity of
movement, and other data, to Col.
N, A Blinof, chief staff, Minister
Of War, St. Petersburg, Russia.
Mr.. Holloway suggests that the
possibility for large orders to sup
ply the Russian army, which is
scattered over an area more than
twice the size ofShe United States,
with automobile wagons, is worthy
Of attention.
