 The wedding Tuesday night was the dantiest, most artistic. affair.it was ever my good fortune to see. After rainbow hues and shepherdess crooks and other glaring concomitants of recent weddings the snowy purity of the-carnations. bride roses. Easter lilies in the decorations, and gowns of the attendants, were relief to the eye and mind. One of the most in- teresting features of the occasion was the fact that the matron of honor was the bride of two hours, Mrs. Holcombe Quill. nee Aline Griffin: So the unusual sight of two brides in all their bridal array made the occasion more brilliant. The marriage was attended by veIT lew, but the re- ception from to Il o'clock was largely attended. Captain Quill's home, recently completed, Is one of the handsomest in the south and was beautifully decorated and illuminated for this the double we'd ding of his only children.

 Mir Thomas expressed himself freely about Mir. Guckenberger's directing and about his chorus.

master conductors who did not have the advantaee of a conservatory education. He was born in Germany in 1855 and came to the United States with his father ten years later. His father was band play CT and enlisted as musician in the navy. He was stationed at the Norfolk navy yard fdr several years and there his boy received instructions on the violin from one of the men In the band. When The odore was only thirteen years old he made a short concert tour through Vir- ginia alone, playing In Richmond, Peters burg. Lynchburg and Charlottesville, but with poor financial success. He was not regarded as q prodigy. but was an in- teligent and plucky lad and applied him. self well. Before he was twenty he was playing in a New York theater orches- tra, and in his twenty-first year trav- eled with Jennie Lind as a violin soloist. Before he wag twenty-five he had estab- lished a reputation in classic music and was the leading violinist in the chamber concerts in which Mason and Bergemann appeared. He was thirtyone or two when he organized his first concert orchestra. Nearly every member of Thomas's Or chestra today studied in a conservatory, but not one of them, perhaps, claims 10 know more about music than Thomas. He Is tho greatest conductor that this country has ever had.
 Andrew Carnegie Is a devotee of classic music and has been liberal in promoting tho Pittsburg Orchestra, which now ranks third or fourth in the United States. But if he accepts the presidency of the New York Philharmonic Society, . to which he was recently elected, ne Will be very actively engaged in the orchestra business New York has never had an endowed orchestra, but if MT. Carnegie takes charge of the Philharmonic ne VIII cndow 1t fully and will engage body Of picked musicians and pay them for their full time during the season. This would put New York on par with Boston and Chicago so far as symphony orchestra might be concerned. The musical world hopes sincerely that the past iron mas ter and philanthropist will not decline the presidency of tho Philharmonic so- ciety.

AnnIcKs HELP Non NEEDED

Addicks has made a determined ef-
fort TO use the Board of Trade OF VII
mington to promote his senatorial
movement. To the discredit of that
body be It. said. some Of dts promi-
nent members have been caught by the
gasman's claptrap about Wilmington
harbor obtaining no more Federal
money until Addicks and some Repub-
ncan are sent TO the United States
Senate to represent Delaware. As a
matter OF fact. Congress has just voted
enough money for a new survey OF the
Chiistiana river TO enable the Federal
engineers to formulate a new project
and estimate the cost thereof. IL VIII
require some time TO make that sur
vey. and until it is completed there
can be no further appropriation, nor
is one asked for. The government en-
gineer has money in hand TO do what
ever work can be done between now
and the formulation of That new pro
ject
There is but one thing that Addicks
can even hope to block That is the
bill to authorize the mayor and City
Council Of Wilmington to appropriate
monoy-to assist the Federal govern
ment to keep the channel OF the Chris
tiana river free from refuse from ouI
streets and sewers That bill is In the
Delaware Legislature, backed by the
Board of Trade and by every public
spirited citizen, regardless Of party af
nliation. II Addicks and his hench.
men want to take IL by the throat, as
some Of them threaten to do, let then
go ahead. It will be the biggest boomer
ang they ever laid hands on, anc
under no consideration can 1t be con
sverted into a club for senatorial pur
poses.

Mrs. NATION ON
ANOTHER RAMP AGE
Goes to Enterprise and De-
mOIiSheS a Saloon
Would Have Wrecked Another Saloon
There But Was Prevented
by lhe Police

Enterprise Kan, Jan. 24.-Mrs. Car
rie Nation began her crusade here yes
terday by demolishing a saloon and de-
livering a street lecture. She arrived
on an early morning train from Wichi-
ia and went at once to the home of c.
S. Hoffman, a well known Populist
leader. A temperance meeting was
held at the house at 2 o'clock, attend
ed by a dozen or more women. After
perfecting plans Mrs. Nation secured
hatchet and started for the business
part Uf the town, accompanied by Mrs.
Hoffman, Mrs. l.. A. Case, a leading W.
Q. II. u. worker, and another woman,
who was yelled. The two saloon keep
ers had locked their places and were In
hiding.
Mrs. Nation went to Schillings place
and attacked the glass doors. She
smashed the glass out Of the frames
and stepped into the deserted joint,
leaving the others outside. She smash
ed the big mirror, chopped gashes in
the bar and broke all the glasses and
bottles on the shelves. Then she went
to the refrigerator and commenced
bringing out cases OF beer. She ham
died them easily, and lifting them high
IN the air dropped them on the floor,
deftly cracking each bottle left solid
after the fall The floor was soon COW
cred with a mixture of drinkables. She
kept up the work until Marshal w. R.
Benham finally entered, and taking her
by the sleeve told her she must get out.
"What are you" she demanded, but
a murderer and periurer in protecting
this unholy traffic? Either let me
alone or take off your star"
But she followed him out, and call
ing her companions proceeded to give
the marshal a blstering arTaignment
| in the presence CT the crowd. She then
started for another saloon, but it was
| well barricaded and offered no plate
glass for her to attack
The marshal refused to allow her
/ to chop down the doors, and she final
/ ly went home with her companions.
She said she had only begun her work
and expects to clean out many more
places.
Last night as Mrs. Nation was lee
turing on the streets of Enterprise Mrs
Schilling, the wife of the saloon keeper
whose place of business was demolish-
ed, came up to her. I've got you
now" she said, and struck Mrs. Nation
twice in the face slight cash was
cut over the eye, and it bled profusely
Mrs. Nation went 90 a neighborins
house and had her eye bandaged anC
continued her lecture on the street
The crowd was too noisy and she ad
journed to 4 church near by, where
she made a long address.
1t IS reported that Mrs. Nation is pre-
pared to move on Abilene, and thu
Abilene saloon keepers are preparing
for her coming. The news that th'
crusader was to visit Abilene caused
a state OF panic at the dispensarie
there, and all sorts OF plans were dis
cussed for handling her. One of tn
saloons has prepared a heavy oak bar
ricade to fit the stairway and expect
to slide it in place when the scouts an
nounce the approach of Mrs Nation.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
The Kind They Are

lWe Nliu iHtI NN
From the New York Sun.
The effort to syndicate the Delaware
ienatorships by getting them into the
control Of Addicks and somebody salts
factory TO him, has made no progress
since the balloting for senators began,
and the country at large is rejoicing.
The Addicks proposition is impossl-
ole OF acceptance. from end to end. No
Republican, or no Democrat, can be
lis partner in representing Delaware
without being tarred with Addlckslsm.
The eleven Republicans who hold the
balance of power have for their first
luty the defeat Of Addicks, and to ac-
'ompllsh that they have only to stand
asst until the curtain drops.
The State OF Delaware has more
man once led the column for independ-
iahce and good government. But it has
lever led in a better cause than in It's
defense of itself against an Addick'
triumph The entire Union is watch

Ar Rrvnn Coin~ TO Europe.

Omaha. Jan. 24.-W. J. Bryan will
soon start for Europe. 1t is his pur-
pose to call upon President Kruger,
but his ultimate object is a tour Of the
continent. He may visit all the British
isles. and especially Ireland. The sue
cess of his newspaper, The Commoner,
has been so great at the outset that he
feels warranted in going abroad in
quest of material for a series of letters
for his paper, in the course Of which
it is said to be his intention to treat IN
imperialism as he finds it, and to make
a special study OF colonial dependen-
cies. The exact date of Mr.. Bryan's de-
parture is not given, but will likely be
in the early spring.
