Pretty Ceremony.
Arcadia, La, Nov "a, 1900.

Prof. and Mrs. r. A. Smith OF
Arcadia, La, to DR.. Henry Bascom
a rising and worthy young
physician of Gueydan, La, which
was solemnized on Thursday, Nov
.2ud, at the brides home, has been
conceded by all to surpass in BRILL

marriages ever witnessed in this
vicinity. This day being the "a
anniversary Of her parents marriage,
the ceremony being performed at the
same hour 10 a.. m. and same day OF
the week rendered it the more unique
and memorable. The entire house
and especially the dining room il
which the "Nuptial Knot was tied
was perfect in its color scheme OF
pink, white and green, having for Its
background beautiful lace draper1es,
inviting foliage of evergreen vines and
numerous standing French mirrors
which enhanced a thousand times the
festive scene rejecting splendidly the
chandeliers beautifully draped with
smilax and lighted with numerous
pink and blue wax candles, the ris-

under which the bridal party stood
and pledged their truth was unique
and original in design and beauty
it being lined with delicate blue a deep
fall of rice lace on the edge, this
being in harmony with the rest OF the

the beautifully draped windows with
their rich covering of vines and ferns.

DEFENDS TARo PATCHES.
Writer Says They are Not I'm
healthful

Editor Advertiser: In your editorial
note on the Limitation of rice culture
in relation to the artesian water sup
ply, you include taro culture as well.
| for one should be very sorry to have
that placed in the same line as the
other, for the reason first that it has
already been too much limited by the
remorseless growth of civilization, by
the taking of Nuuanu valley water
for the city, where artesian water
should have been used. and, near Moili-
iii at Kanewai, by the drying up Of
large areas, and of important springs
of water through the lowering of the
underground reservoir by artesian
wells.
Moreover a well regulated taro patch
is no more insanitary than a pond of
clear water, as it is never suffered to
run dry. 1t is very different with rice
fields which are necessarily dried
twice in the year, when the exposure
to the sun of decaying organic matter
that has been under water causes I'M
healthy exhalations. This distinction
is important to keep in mind.
AS to Chinese being extravagant and
wasteful in their use of water, 1t hard
ly seems probable, as they are aware
that IL is against their own interests
to waste the supply. Besides it Is not
for us to complain of extravaganza in
this line, when so many of our own
good people use from 1000 to 1000 gal
Ions of city water per day-for house
lot rrigation-pumped water. and in
times of scarcity at that. 1t is unfor-
tunate that rice culture demands so
much water. but that is not the fault
of the Chinese, who by their patient in
dustry have made fruitful so much for
merry useless land. G. j. l..

oh" you say. but glasses are
such a nuisance" Are they, aft
er all?
Is it better to suffer every hour
of the day with that awful pain
in the eyes, or if not in pain
cropping your way about only
half seeing, cutting your best
friend, because you cannot see
across the street?
Wouldn't you rather wear
glasses which DO overcome all
these troubles, and put up with
the nuisance OF any OF wearing
them? Besides. in a very short
time they become part OF your
daily dressing, and you forget
all about having them on your
nose.
The relief they give you is well
worth making the trial. We
stand ready to give your eyes the

antee relief from eye strain, with

| NEW ORDER
Will be Organized
To Take the Place of the
Chosen Friends.
Will Reinsure Those Who
Had Policies
In the Old 0rder--Meeting
Called tuesday.
Founders Give Details Of Proposed
Association.

The defunct order of Chosen Friends
will be reorganized on new lines and
under a new name. This will be
cheering information to the local mem
/ bers who heard of the failure of the
order with anything but pleasure.
A special from indianapolis says:
Detailed plans for the Standard Fra
ternal Association, which 1t is intended
shall reinsure the members of the
Chosen Friends so far as possible, were
announced today by those who are
at the head of the new organization,
which is designed to be the successor
of the defunct fraternity. A meeting
will be held here Tuesday at which
there will be present Louis A. Stebor,
of st. Louis; Dr. g. A. Burhans, of
Cincinnati; Albert Rosengartner, of
Louisville; L. G. Smith, of Chicago;
w. G. Gibson, T. B. Linn and Clifford
A. Dietch, of this city At this meet
ing the plans already decided upon by
the officers of the new order will be
indorsed.
All those called to the meeting have
been prominent in the Chosen Friends,
and will hold official capacities in the
new order. The persons called to the
meeting in this city Tuesday will be
among the directors Of the new order.
1t Is announced by Mr.. Gibson, who
is to be president of the new order,
that it has no connection with the
Chosen Friends except that special
privileges will be given those who
have been members of the Chosen
Friends as matter of sentiment. The
management of the Standard Associa-
tion will consist of eleven persons, of
whom five are officers of the Chosen
Friends.
The table of rates has been decided
upon for members Of the new order,
no matter whether former Chosen
Friends or not. They provide for level
and step rates For persons over
flfty-four and under seventy four years
Of age, the schedule Of rates will be
the average rates per thousand con-
talned In the table approved by the
National Fraternal Congress, Eng
lish Friendly Societies, Canada Life
Experience, Manchester Unity, |
o. o. r., Autuaries Tables, and Amer
lean Experience Table. Over seventy
four, the new organization will not
take members, and all Chosen Friends
over seventy four are shut out without
