WEDDING TINGED WITH ROMANCE.
Miss Eugenla Berrett Bride of Mr.. Arthur
Segar.

A dispatch to the Baltimore American from
Newport News, Va, October 2, says:
A marriage tinged with as much romance
as any that ever occurred in local society cir
Giles took place early this morning IN the par
lors of the Chamberlin HOTEL at Old Point,
where Miss Eugenia Berrett, of Sykesvilie,
Md., was married to Arthur Segar, Jr. The
marriage was the result of couriship of about
a wear and a half, though the bride and groom
have known each other through life. As a
cousin of the family, she has frequently been
a visitor at the home of the groom.
1t was during these visits that the strong at
tachmeut grew up. The love OF the young
man was requited, and they became engaged
Abont month ago the arrangements for
the marriage were made, but We're kept secret,
not even the immediate families knowing the
details Yesterday afternoon the bride-elect
left the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Berrett, Of Sykesville, Md, for Balti-
more, accompanied by her sister, Miss Ruth
Berrett. She told her parents that she in
tended spending a while at Virginia Beach,
and ostensibly started in that direction.
She and her sister arrived on the new Bay
Line steamer at Old Point this morning at
s. 80 o'clock. Here they were met by the
groom, who was accompanied by his sister,
Miss Cornelia Segar, Winder Segar, a brother,
B. A. Lewis, an intimate friend, and Rev. c..
B. Bryan, rector of st. Johns. The license
for the marriage had been procured yesterday
afternoon by B. A.. Lewis, but had been with
held from the public.
When the steamer arrived at Old Point day
was scarcely breaking. In the gray dawn the
bride was welcomed, and the party at once
repaired to the ladies' parlor of the Chamber
lin, where the marriage ceremony was per-
formed The bride was given away by b. A.
Lewis.
The bridal party then took carriages for the
home Of the groom's mother, Mrs. Sue Segar,
at Little Roseland in East Hampton, where
breakfast was served. Mr.. and Mrs. Segar
will live at the residence of the groom.
The bride is wellknown and quite favorite
in Hampton. The groom is the son of the late
Arthur s. Segar, one of the most prominent
corporation attorneys in the state. The happy
couple wired the parents of the bride this
morning of the marriage.

Dereliction of Duty by the White
Voters of Baltimore

The white people of Baltimore seem but
little interested in the affairs of government
With but two days more in which to register,
scarcely more than hail of the white vote is
registered. Many of the, whites are so alb
sorbed in private business, in the pursuit of
the dollar, they give no care to public matters
until pinched by high taxation or they mag
inc their dollars are threatened. They do not
seem to realize that the election next month
is very important one, nor do they stop to
think that unless registered they cannot par
ticipate in party primaries pext spring. when
an important municipal election is to be held.
And many who have registered have been too.
Indifferent to their duties as citizens to have
recorded their natural party utilization, fear
ing their independence will be interfered
with, not taking the trouble to ascertain that
they cannot participate in party primaries
unless their party utilization is designated.
These same Independent people are the very
first to complain of boss dictation and bad
nominations, and have shut themselves out
from participation in party affairs, and are
leaving their conduct TO ward workers, party
heelers and the negroes. We will venture to
assert that every negro is recorded as Re-
publican, and is thus qualified to vote in the
Republican primaries, and the seventeen or
eighteen thousand of them are sufficient to
control the nominations of that party. On
the Democratic side every ward worker and
heeler of the bosses, we also venture to assert,
has his party choice designated, and is fully
equipped to get in his work in the spring pri-
maries.
While the white registration in Baltimore
has varied from 10000 to 100, 900 in the past
six years, the negro vote is pretty steady. In
1897 it was 1879, in 1898 Il, 1856, in 1899
II, $50, in 1900 18, 739, and in 1901 1888.
The negro vote is registered, in "off " years
as in ''on'' years. They pay little taxes, have
no knowledge of public affairs, care nothing
for the character of nominees, but they regis
ter and vote, while many whites are Indifferent
until aroused by high tax rates or something
else which touches the pocket nerve.

Our dear mother has left us.
Yes, she's left this world of care,
But oh how wei miss dear mother
When we see her vacant chair.
Home is sad; Oh God how dreary,
Lonely lonesome every spot,
Listening for her voice till weary,
Weary for we hear 1t not
Deep gloom is now more gloomy,
Twilight lengthens into shade;
Nearer now the hour is coming
We shall be beside you laid.
Farewell my husband, am gone.
I've crossed the river now;
Your home is sad and lonely
Without mothers word
Farewell my children, yon are left
Without mother now;
Place oil your hope in Christ on earth
And we shall meet in heaven
What is home without mother? THE FAMILY.

who Wanted Page 2

The Sentinel last week quoted from the AD-
vocArE an expression Of opinion before the
nomination that majority Of the Democrats
Of the district did not want Mr.. Talbot. The
fact that Mr.. Talbot was nominated is pre-
sumptiye proof that the ADVOCATE was mis-
taken.
So much for that. Now can the Sentinel
name single Republican in the district, save,
perhaps, Mr.. Biakeney, who favored the NOM
ination Of VIM. Tyler Page ?
Can il name delegate to the nominating
convention, save from Baltimore county, who
ever heard of Mr.. Page an hour before the
convention met
Can it name a single delegate from Balti-
more county who ever heard of Mr.. Page
forty.eight hours before he was sprung as a
congressional candidate in this city?
Does not the Sentinel know that the Re-
publicans of the district were not consulted at
all as to Mr.. Pages nomination, and that he
was selected at the dictation of Boss Me-
Comas
fit does not know all of this it knows moth
ing of Republican politics in the district.
IF Mr.. Talbot was not choice Of the ma
jority Of the Democrats of the district, as the
Sentinel presumes, he still has a better claim
to the party support than Mr.. Page has to
Republican support. Mr.. Talbot had sup
porters in every portion Of the district. Mr..
Page had none in any part.
Mr.. Talbot is a Democrat from conviction
and been an active worker in the party tor
over thirty. FIVE years. Mr.. Page has rendered
his party no service and his first appearance
in politics in the district was just four days
before he was nominated for Congress at the
dictation Of Boss McComas. He has been in
Office for more than twenty consecutive years;
fully twelve under Democratic administration
of the House Of Representatives. If he had
been an outspoken Republican he could NOT
have held office under Democrats.
Mr.. Talbot has lived in the district since
1866, at least, Mr.. Page has been in it less
than six months. In fact he has been resi-
dent Of Washington, D. c., most of his life.
Mr. Talbot is a taxpayer in the district;
Mr.. Page is not. In fact Mr.. Page is simply
a squartter, with no knowledge of the people
of the district or their wants, and just as in
competent to represent the Hawaiian Islands
as the second congressional district of Mary
land
Mr.. Talbot is a Democrat Mr.. Page is
simply representative Of the wishes OF Nc
Comas. When holding Office in the House
of Representatives under Democratic control
for twelve years he was perhaps as good
Democrat as anybody else, or ertirely silent
on politics

Roosevelt and the Coal Strike.


President Roosevelt on Wednesday, after
two meetings of the Cabinet, telegraphed to
President John Mitchell Of the United Mine
Workers and the presidents of the coal COM
panies to meet in conference at Washington at
II o'clock yesterday friday morning.
What may result from the conference can
not be predicted. If an agreement to end the
strike and furnish the country with coal is
reached, the people will hail the announce
ment with JOY, for the outlook for fuel and
comfort for the whole East is exceedingly
gloomy.
If the President succeeds, the people will
want to know why he did not exercise his
good Offices several months ago. Instead, he
went on stumping tour for the Republican
party, all over the East, North, Sonth and
West. He had no concern for the welfare Of
the people, His sole interest was in saving
the Republican party from threatened defeat.
BE allowed the price of coal go to twenty
and thirty dollars a ton. and the supply grow
SO scarce that very little could be secured at
these prices, and by the rich alone. He al
lowed the supply in the government buildings
at Washington to get so low that the stopping
Of the wheels of government was impending.
He allowed probable closing of public
schools, churches and public buildings, before
acting. He saw the efforts of people TO ar
range for substitutes for coal, at considerable
cost TO themselves. He was deaf to appeals
from all parts of the country to exercise his in
fuence In settling the strike, and was indiffer-
ent to the impending disaster to manufacturing
enterprises and the certain suffering of the
people, because he was afraid to take up a
matter that might ALLEVIATE one or the. other of
the parties to the controversy which caused
the strike. He is only acting now because
further continuance of the strike, with its
serious consequences, threatens to overwhem
the Republican party. No other motive ac-
tuates him. This cannot be denied, for 9TH
erwise he would have acted several months
ago, and not allowed the people to be gouged
by prices of coal three or four times the nor
NAL price. Should the mines be started at
once, it is too late to give the country sup
ply before cold weather sets in. Even now
fires are necessary in the North, and in two or
three weeks they will be necessary all over the
country north of Washington. The Presi-
dent undertakes the task of stopping the
strike too late, and he cannot make the peo-
pie believe that he is how acting from any
thing but partisan Republican motives.

gressive, and the head of the ticket is an ag-
gressive man, with clean record. The Re-
publican ticket headed by Gov. Odell, is a
good one, too. and the contest is likely to be
close. Both parties have faction difficulties
to contend with, and che trouble in one party
viii offset that in the other.
