HIS NORTHERN BROTHER.

HIS NORTHERN BROTHER.
JuPt make it two, old fellow,
I want to stand once more
Beneath the old flag with you
AS Ia the days of yore.
Our fathers stood together
And fought on land and sea
The battles fierce that made us
A Nation OF the free.
/ whipped you down at Vicksburg,
You licked me at Bull Run;
On many field we struggled,
Where neither victory won.
You wore the gray of Southland,
1 wore the Northern blue,
Like men we did our duty
When screaming bullets flew.
Four years we fought like devils,
But when the war was done
Your hand met mine In friendly clasp
Our two hearts beat as one.
And now when danger threatens,
No North, no South, we know.
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe.
My head, like yours is frosty
Old age is creeping on;
Life's sun is lower sinking,
My day will soon be gone.
But IL our country's honor
Needs once again her son,
I'm ready, too, old fellow
So get another gun.

AN AWFUL FIGHT.
Terrible Struggle Between a
Lion And a Polar Bear.

iSrrioie struggle Between a
Lion And a Polar Bear.
A furious fight to finish between
a fierce Nubian lion and monster
Polar bear took place at Mundy's
Animal Show, in Jacksonville, Fla,
a few days ago.
The bear was beaten, but made
a splendid fight. Both beasts were
absolutely game. The lion carried
on the fight under considerable
difficulties, as toward the close the
keepers were shooting him and jab-
biug him with redhot irons.
The bear owed his defeat to his
weakness in offensive tactics. In
strength, weight and endurance he
was fully the equal of his opponent.
The fight naturally divided itself
into rounds, although, of course, no
time rule was observed. After a
fierce bout the monsters would rest
Tor a few moments and then go at il
again. The fight lasted 10 rounds.
The Polar bear had angered the
lion in some way, possibly by his
color or his cold and reserved man.
ner. The keepers were first aware
OF the trouble when the lion smashed
the partition of iron bars that sepa-
rated him from the bear.
The lion is magnificent beast, 6
years old, which is the prime of life
in his family. He weighs 500
pounds. The name Roosevelt was
given him because he was 30 fierce
and handsome. The Polar bear is an
equally fine specimen of his family.
He tramps around his cage all day
in restless manner, but rarely utters
a sound. He weighs $50 pounds.
He is called Peary. in honor of the
famous Arctic explorer.
Roosevelt started the fighting by
landing with the left paw on Bruins
right shoulder. Owing to the thick
fur the blow did little damage.
Peary showed desire to get to
close quarters. Roosevelt preferred
to use his agile feet. delivering quick,
vicious blows and hopping aside
with lightning swiftness. The first
round was principally open fighting
OF this kind, Peary losing much fur.
In the second round Roosevelt
landed heavily on Peary's nose,
knocking off considerable portion
OF it. Peary seemed groggy. and
Roosevelt seized the opportunity to
throw in dozen savage blows. Peary,
however, had plenty of stamina. He
backed up against the bars and rose
on his hind legs. When Roosevelt
leaped at his throat he caught the
lion fearful blow on the side of his
head, knocking him to the floor with
a great thud. Both then needed q
rest.
In the third round Roosevelt went
at once for Peary's injured nose. The
latter, however, lodged cleverly.
While Roosevelt was rushing past

OYSTER ROAST AND DANCE.
Young People Spend Delightful
Evening Mt CObb's Hall.

ENcnihR at CODD'S HAIL.
On Friday evening last fully one
hundred of the young ladies and
gentlemen of Northumberland and
Lancaster assembled at Hopeside to
an oyster roast in response to invita-
tons issued by that jovial, good
hearted man, Capt. VIM. Carter, who
is always endeavoring to make the
young people enjoy themselves. Oys-
ters galore were on hand and roasted
to the queens taste, and from re-
marks made by the boys it seems
that the young ladies did ample
justice to them, but as there were
plenty of them and to spare, this
made no difference and the gentle
men seemed more than glad to open
a bushel of oysters to each fair lassie.
By eight o'clock all had their fill
of oysters and when Miss Marie
Harvey invited those assembled to
her home just across the creek to en-
gage in dancing, the invitation was
speedily accepted. 1t took but a
short time to ferry the young people
across the narrow stretch of water

A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
IToo late for last issne.l


Jerusalem Baptist church in Rich
mond county was the scene of the
most brilliant event in the social
world thereabouts on Thursday, De-
cember 5th, at z o'clock, when Mr..
William Eugene Headley, of Sharp's
Wharf, led to the altar Miss Susie
Gertrude Hanks. The church was
artistically decorated with lovely
ferns and chrysanthemums. From
the top of the bridal arch was sus-
pended a wedding bell, which in
fancy rang joyous greeting. The
mellow light from hundred and
tifty candles and many lamps added
charms to the scene, which taken in
its entirety was one Of rare beauty.
The ribbon was held back by two
little ribbon girls, Grace and Irma,
the daughters of Rev. Richard Ed.
wards.
At the appointed hour and to the
music of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, skilfully rendered by Mrs. B.
Il. Griffith, the bride and groom,
with escorts in advance, entered the
church in the following manner:
Right aisle ushers, Messrs. Willie
Bray, and r. A. CLARK, IT., of Wicom-
leo Church, cousin Of the bride;
left aisle, Messrs. Harvey Brilliant
and Allison Headley, who met at
the altar and crossed to the opposite
side of the chancel. Following came
Miss Sadie Biscoe, of King and
Queen, and Mr.. Horace Oakley down
the left aisle, and Miss Irene Clark,
OF Wicomico Church, cousin of the
bride, and Mr.. Willie Luttrell down
the right. They, too, met at the
altar and crossed to the opposite side
of the chsncel. Then came Miss
Mamie Headley, sister of the groom,
down the right aisle and Miss Ma
mie Hanks, sister of the bride and
maid Of honor. down the left, while
following came the bride on the arm
of her brother, Mr.. L. II. Hanks,
preceded by little Ira Christine
Hanks, cousin of the bride, carrying
a silver basket of lovely roses. They
were met at the altar by the groom
and his best man, Mr.. John Oakley,
of Simonson's, his cousin, and were
united in holy wedlock by the Rev.
Richard Edwards.
The bride, carrying a prayer book
in white and gold, looked beautiful
in handsome costume of white
taffeta silk with applique lace, rib
bon and chiffon trimmings, with
gloves to match, while her lovely
veil of tulle was caught back with
orange blossoms. The bridesmaids
wore white organdy with lace and rib
bon trimmings to match and carried
white chrysanthemHms and ferns
tied with white ribbon.
The bride is the youngest daugh-
ter of Capt. G. w. Hanks and is q
young lady of rare accomplishments
and noble traits who is widely
known, while the groom is one of
the most energetic and highly es-
teemed young gentlemen of Sharps,
and is the son of Capt. Il. w.
Headley, one of the largest oyster
planters at that place.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bride and groom were escorted to
their future home, "Suggett's Point, !"
by the bridal party and friends,
wEere they partook of a sumptuous
wedding supper.
May prosperity ever smile upon
them, is the wish of A FRIEND.

ATTEMPT TO WRGCK A TRAIN.
Dnnbury Fair Special Picks Up "a Tie Mt
Waterbury.

Waterbury, Conn, Oct 10-It is quite
evident that an attempt was made
Wednesday evening to wreck one of the
excursion trains which was carrying a
load of passengers to this city from the
Danbury fair. The train, which was
run by Engineer Isaac Sterner of this
city, was special, and was heavily
loaded with excursionists. When 1t
reached the Meadow street passenger
station shortly after s O'clock 1t was
noticed that the engine was carrying a
railroad tie which had become fasten-
ed to the cowcatcher. The tie was
not on the engine when the train ar
rived at Meriden Junction, mile or
so south Of the passenger station, and
must have been picked up after the
train passed the junction. When the
engine struck the tie, the nose of the
cowcatcher buried itself deep in the
obstruction and thus carried it to this
city. Had the tie escaped the cow
catcher and passed under the engine,
the train would have undoubtedly been
derailed, so trainmen say. The railroad
officials have placed watchmen along
the line between the city and the juno
ton in hopes of preventing repetition
Of the affair and possibly learning who
1t was that attempted to wreck the
train, and what his motive was.

HEAD OF MORMON CH URCH DEAD
President Snow Passed Away at 1896
Yesterday Afternoon,

Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 1O.-Lorenzo
Snow, fifth vice president of the Church
of Jesus Christ, Of Later Day Saints,
better known as the Mormon Church,
died unexpectedly at his private resi-
dence, the historic Beehive house, this
afternoon after an illness that had been
serious only since yesterday. The i'm
mediate cause of his death was hypo-
static congestion, superinduced by ag-
gravated bronchitis.
President Shows death caused a
shock to the entire community, and is
deeply deplored. He was regarded as a.
broad-ninded man who desired the up
building Of Utah as well as the progress
of the Mormon Church. President
Shows death dissolves the first presi-
dency, of which he was the head, his
two counsellors being Joseph Smith and
Rudger Clawson. Until his successor
shall be chosen which may not be until
the annual conference next April, the
leadership of the church will devolve
upon the council of twelve apostles, of
which body Mr. Smith is the recognized
head. Unless death should come to him
in the meantime, Mr.. Smith will be the
next president Of the church.
Mr.. Snow leaves a large family. He
was born in Mantua, Portage county,
Ohio April g. 1874 and received clas-
steal education at Oberlin college. He
became a convert to Mormonism in 1885
and then Immediately began proselyt-
ing. Since then he had been one of the
most active and prominent members of
the church organization. He had been
on numerous foreign missions, the most
important being that to Great Britain
in 1910, where he became president of
the London conference

THE BOER WAR SITUATION
SECRETARY BRODRICK RETIEWS
THE BRITISH POSITION.
Declines Offer TO Raise Fresh Troops
ener's Demands Promptly Met--British
Army Now, Roughly, About 100000
with $50 Guns-Anxiety Can be Set at
Rest Mt Hama
Rest Mt Home.

London, Oct. 10.-The secretary for
war, Mr.. Broderick, replying to Sir
Charles Howard Vincent's offer to raise
fresh troops or do anything else to as
sist the government, declines to-day the
proposal, and, in doing so, lengthily
reviews the British position in South
Africa, obviously in answer to the per-
sistent and searching criticisms of the
ministerial journals and members of
parliament, that the government is
languidly content to let the war drag
on. Mr.. Brodrick says to begin with,
that nothing Lord Kitchener has asked
for has not been promptly met He
adds:
I'VE have, roughly, two hundred
thousand men and 450 guns in South
Africa, and over 100,00 men are under
training at home. We have no diff
Guilty, therefore, in keeping the field
army up to it's requisite strength, by
drafts, and if further call be made,
we are in position to meet it with the
utmost promptitude. Notwithstanding
this, there seems to be an impression
abroad that the close of the war is re-
tarded by a scarcity of troops, or the
want of mobility of our columns"
This impression Mr.. Brodrick COM
bats by reciting what the war office Is
doing, providing supplies for $4,000
persons, directly or indirectly connect
ed with the war, feeding 24S.000 horses
and mules and maintaining four
months reserves of food for men and
animals. Sixty nine mobile columns,
perfectly equipped, are now in the field,
and 10000 remounts are being landed
monthly. besides those captured.
Mr.. Brodrick says the anxiety can
be set at rest at home. The govern
ment has never interfered with Lord
Kitchener, in whose vigorous prosecu-
tion of the war they have entire con-
fidence. He points out again the vast
extent of the country.
Abiding to Lord Kitchener's sending
back poorly trained yeomanry, Mr..
Brodrick replies that they would have
been trained earlier but for the opinion
of military advisers In South Africa and
at home, up to November 1900, that no
fresh troops were needed.
when Lord Kitchener asked for nine
thousand more says the war secre-
tary, "the government sent out to him
81 900 fresh troops during the first six
months of 1901, besides arms for 10000
local levies."
The opening the third year of the
war in South Africa to-day is the sub
iect of editorials in the morning papers
reviewing the campaign.
Although it is admitted that the reply
of Mr.. Brodrick to the critics of the
war office puts a better phase upon the
situa ton, the critics are not satisfied.
