Chicago Girl Becomes Bride Tespite
Quarantine for Diphtheria.
There was a novel and romantic we'd
ding in the town of Union, \. Y, when
Miss Estella Rockefellow of Chicago was
married, by means of a photograph, to
III. Allen Bush of Westpoint, Ky, there
by overcoming a strict quarantine and be-
ing welded on the day fixed for the nup-
tial ceremony. Miss Rockefellow and
Mr.. Bush had planned to be married at
the home of the brides sister in New
York. Miss Rockefeliow went East for
that purpose, stopping for a brief visit
with friends in Union, and was stricken
with diphtheria. The house was quaran-
tined, no one being admitted, but the at
tack was not severe, and the groom con-
ceived the idea of Photographic we'd
ding. He procured Il clergyman and two
monographs. In one of these the min
ister's questions and Mr.. Aliens answers
were recorded. The cylinders were then
transferred and the machines sent to the
residence of the bride When they were
set in motion she answered the questions
propOunded by one machine into the
mOuthpiece of the other. The ceremony
was complete. Legal authorities declare
it perfectly binding.

Rear Admiral Sampson, in official cor
respondence made public in Washington.
has taken position distinctly offensive
to American ideas, says a correspondent.
The naval appropriation bin authorized
the President to promote six warrant
officers in the navy TO the grade of ensign
each year after an examination to deter
mine their qualifications. A young gun
ner i'll the navy named Morgan, who was
in charge of the divers that investigated
the wreck of the Maine, and afterward
served with Sampson on the flagship
New York, applied to his former COM
mander for recommendations for promo
ton under the provision referred to.
Capt. Sigsbee gave him Il hearty indorse-
ment, but Admiral Sampson, while tes-
tifying TO his efficiency as a non-commis-
stoned officer and his soldierly appear
ance and behavior, advised against his
advancement on the ground that he had
not enjoyed the social advantages neces-
sary to qualify him to enter the navy.
The admiral also expressed the hope that
the Secretary of the Navy would not
carry out that provision of the bill which
authorizes the promotion of warrant Off
GERS because the chief duty of the navy
in time of peace is to represent the cOun-
try abroad, and the officers should there
fore be men of refinement Secretary
Long and the President do not agree with
Admiral Sampson. While Sampson will
be criticised and denounced for snobbish-
ness by the public generally, his position
will be sustained 10y the officers of the
navy, who have assumed to be the aris-
tOcracy and exclusive branch of the gov
eminent and have Stubbornly opposed eV-
cry proposition that looked to the promo
ton of men from the ranks. There are
now on the list several officers, like Adj
miral Hichborn, who came into the SER
vice from civil life through the engineer
and construction corps, but since lSG0
no one has been commissioned who has
not been educated at Annapolis The law
authorizes the President to promote pri-
vate soldiers who have distinguished
themselves in the army after an eNamlnu-
ton that shall demonstrate the mental
and moral qualifications, but this has
never been allowed in the navy until
now. The engineer corps in the navy
have complained of social ostracism by
the officers of the line in cases where the
officers entered the service from civil life.
Candidates for paymaster and surgeon
have been compelled to bring powerful
and there is no question that Admiral
Sampson has expressed the almost unan-
imous sentiments of the navy.

ing the Coming Spring.
l.. g. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: Business in the East and
particularly along the north Atlantic
coast, has been catching up with the
rest of the country a little this week, so
that in the few lines where complaint
has been heard locally of late the tone
has been better. This comes from the
working off of retail stocks which owners
feared would have to be carried over un-
til next season. In builders hardware
the buying has been notably better, and
the distribution in the grocery jobbing
trade has been given considerable slim
ulus. Even the laggard dry goods mar
ket has shown a good measure of i'm
provement; though in cotton goods there
IS still much 10 be desired No diminu-
ton appears in the movement of iron and
steel products Mills are rushed with
orders and new contracts are taken at
full prices. Lumber and materials are
IN good demand owing to extensive prep
arations for spring building, and at Buff

of hotels and other works in connection
with the exposition. Failures for the
