To Correspondents.

No paper is more grateful than the
JOURNAL to ladies and gentlemen who
thoughtfully and kindly send in items
of news, for these are real favors. But
when they send the same items in the
same diction to the ForUm they lose
value, just as money would suffer under
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
ver.' This, however, would be all right
if the great paper had the time to re-
write all contributions. But as it has
not, it would like the best rendition of
facts to appear i'll its columns, and to APP
pear as unlike other renditions as the
elastic character of good English will
permit So, ladies and gentlemen, when
you kindly contribute Il statement of
fact to both papers, please write it diff
ferently and give the one better i'll ar
rangemcnt, sequence and diction to the
JOURNAL.

SENil-LOCAL NEWS.


When the JOURNAL received DIR. J. :.
Fulton's letter, printed last week, it did
not feel sure that it should be published
without permission and a letter to that
effect was addressed to him. Thursday
the following reply was received:
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
There is no reason why our recent letter to
you should not be printed. The story of our
professional interest in the newspaper is
briefly as follows:
About three years ago we found ourselves
obliged to collect and tabulate certain import
ant information, without the means to pay
for its systematic collection. We addressed to
some eighty odd county papers polite notes
asking if we might be put upon their free lists.
About fifty ofthem complied at once, and for.
tyfour are still regularly sent to us.
Since that time we have been able to con
vince the State of Maryland that complete sys-
tematic records of births and deaths are
worth more than it costs to collect and record
them. The fragmentary information which we
got from the newspapers on that subject Is
less useful to us now that prompt returns are
made by local officers.
Meanwhile we have learned something
which we did not before suspect-namely,
that the county papers contain a good deal of
other information which we can make use of,
and which We cannot or at least do not get
elsewhere A press clipping bureau could
not furnish lis this information as cheap as we
can get it by subscribing to the forty four
papers who were so courteous to us when we
were in financial straits
So you see, over and above our sense of
gratitude to you and other editors there is a
reasonable anticipation of future profit to the
people of the State of Maryland
Very truly yours,
JOHN S. Fulton,
Secretary.
The "forty-f four papers owe DR.. Full
ton vote of thanks.
His testimonial to their utility is
rare one indeed-the rarest from an of
fetal quarter the JOURNAL has ever seen.
The JOURNAL has known several years
that the doctor is an earnest promoter of
sanitation, hygiene, etc, but his letters
disclose Il degree of industrious re-
search that stamps him as an officer
who should survive every possible muta-
ton of politics.

prominence OF the bride as president
OF the state w. G. T. IT,, was the we'd
ding at Tower City Wednesday night
OF Miss Elizabeth Preston to Rev.
James Anderson, pastor Of the First
Methodist church at Drayton. .,
The ceremony took place ait 6 o'clock
in the evening, in the Methodist church
at Tower City, and was performed by
Rev. e. S. Preston, the venerable
father of the bride. The wedding
march was played by Mrs. Brockman
and 1T was from Lohengrin. -
The wedding party filed down the
center aisle of the church in the fol-
lowing order: Five little girls and
five little boys, in pairs, two flower
girls, Rev. and Mrs. e. S. Preston, par
ents of the bride, the groom, accom-
panied by his groomsman, MIR. Jack
son of Bismarck, the bride, accompan-
led by her matron of honor, Mrs. B. B.

sofa W. c. T. U. The procession
passed between two strings Of broad
white ribbon, supported by members
of the Tower City "Y" union, standing
at the entrance to the pews. At the
end Of the aisle, next to the >chancel
within which the ceremony was per-
formed was divided off by a white gate
which was attended by members of the
Loyal Legion by whom it was opened.
ITO allow the passage of the wedding
party.
The ceremony was solemnized be-
meath a beautifully designed white
arch, delicately relieved by green vines.
The whole decorative scheme of the
church was white, the significance OF
which was that the bride is a white
ribboner. The draping of the pulpit
organ, etc., were in pure white and the
only relief being green vines.
The bride was gowned in white silk
a very handsome creation, and she car.
ried white roses. The matron Oh
honor wore a gown of light brown sill
and she carried pink roses.
After the the bride an(
groom turned to the assembled aud

greetings. There was no general re
