WASHINGTON, June 2S.- Today's

The secretary Of the navy by special
instructions of the president had been

to the return of Seymour's broken

that they have good ground for re-

The conclusion drawn by the navy

that he is not In communication with

Mr.. Demaree, the temperance

A great many of his old friends

them by the state could never be

1t is well enough to keep your
weather eye on the ''non-partisan"
movement to wash the robes of
Kentucky and make them whittier
than snow. There are some mon
partisans" in the State, but most
of them are out in the grave yard
and the others are not numerous
enough to skin a-beef. If you will
scratch the back of one of these
nonpartisan fellows, your hand, in
nine cases out of ten, will irritate
the hide of fire-eating partisan
who is simply smothering the
flames for little temporary advan-
tage. Kentucky must be redeem

TIN WEDDING BELLS.
"Father Time your footsteps go,
Lightly as the falling snow"

"Father Time your footsteps go,
Lightly as the falling snow"
We can scarcely realize that ten
years have elapsed since Mr.. 5. M.
jenkins led to the hymeneal altar
the gifted and popular Miss Effie
Wilson. The account was men,
orable as the first wedding in the
Presbyterian church, and also the
first wedding in the family of Mr..
R. w. Wilson.
The clear moon-lit night and
the snow-clad earth seemed emble-
matte of the fair young bride.
Time has dealt kindly with Mr..
and Mrs. Jenkins, and at the close
of the first decade of welded bliss,
we find them "at home" in the
giant little city of Eddyville, the
parents of three bright children.
On the night of their tenth an
niversary their friends had deci-
ded to give them surprise, but
''little bird" had told the secret,
so when the guests arrived, each
one bearing his present of tin,
they we're met at the door by Mrs.
10. M. Jenkins and escorted to the
bride and groom, who stood near
the folding doors and received the
congratulations of their friends.
The spacious parlors were very
artistically arranged, filled with
pretty pictures and exquisite brio
a-brac, while the long hall with its
base burner diffused a warmth
over the house most comforting.
After the usual greeting and
hearty handshakes, the guests
were given slip of paper and a
pencil and were invited to take
part in picture contest. Mr.. Cox
recognized the largest number of
faces and was awarded first prize.
After conversing for short
while the Mother Goose" contest
was suggested and was immedia-
tely in progress.
1t was indeed both amusing and
ridiculous to see bearded men
recite "Baah Black Sheep and
Little Tommy Tucker" But a
woman, as is ever the case carried
off the honors and the first prize,
a handsome Seville vase, was cap
tured by Mrs. MacClelland.
| After the contests several vocal
selections were iendered-one by
Mrs. John w. Wilson, especially
pleasing.
Delightful refre 5hments were
daintily served during the even
ing.
The Eddyville band furnished a
delightful serenade.
At late hour the guests dis
persed, all pronouncing it most
delightful affair, and expressed a
wish that the happy couple may
live to celebrate their golden ami
versary.
The out of town guests were
Mrs. R. w. Wilson, Mr.. and Mrs.
John w. Wilson and Miss Kitty
Gray, all of Marion.

feet their own premises after smallpox
Painful experience has impressed this
lesson on me.
No claim is made that any new thing
is here presented, but only a modest
effort to systematic the health officers
work, that no essential duty may be
overlooked. How much easier would
his work become II all people would but
heed the lessons Of experience and uni
versally submit to vaccination and re-
vaccination? The result would simply
be a speedy disappearance of this vile
disease. am inclined to agree with
DR.. Whitaker, who. in speaking OF
vaccination, says: IAN the contribu-
lions to the welfare OF mankind made
in the whole realms OF law and theol
| ogy do not compare with this simple
contribution OF medicine" 1t is too
late in the century to present an nrgu-
ment in favor OF vaccination. but here
are few facts drawn from Wheellng's
1916 cases In 1895. There were sixteen
deaths. all Of persons never vaccinated.
This was 20 per cent OF the unvaccina-
ted. Not n serious case occurred among
| those who Ind ever been vaccinated.
Many OF them took no medicine and
were never confined to bed for an hour
Not one case occurred among persons
protected by recent vaccination. Two
] young infants. vacclnated after their
mothers were attacked with yariolold,
continued to nurse at the maternal
| breast without contracting the disease
/ Nearly all OF the patients including
those IN the pesthousc, were nursed
| by persons protected only by VACCINE
| ton. Not one of these, who had been
recently successfully vaccinated, took
the dlsense. Three OF our worst cases,
one fatal and the others almost so.
were second attacks. My experience
/ teaches me to regard recent good vac
clnatiOn as better protection against,
and especially against death from
smallpox, than Is the disease itself, un-
/ less the attack Of the latter was recent.
Death in second attacks Is by no
means rare. Marson's stntistics-15.OO 900
cases-show mortality among this
class Of 10 per cent. have never seen
