TWO BRIDES or A
IS BRIGHT JUNE DAY

Miss Lucy McDonougn anu "'n"'A
Barrett, Jr., Welded with Exceed
insly Pretty Ceremony at st. Rose
Church-Miss Anna G. Lesher and
John H. Steele, Both of New Buff
falo, Welded by Rev. A. F.
Chaffee.
An exceedingly pretty wedding SER
vice took place in st. Rose church
few minutes before the tolling OF the
angelus.
The charming bride was Miss Lucy
McDonough, of Cottage street. ana the
groom was Michael Barrett, jr.' Oh
Fallbrook street. Miss Mamie Burnett
was the brides attendant and Thorias
Barrett. brother of the groom, was the
best man.
Just before six. with the beautiful
church thronged, the wedding party ar
rived. When they entered the church,
the joyful music of the wedding march
from Tanhauser, greeted them. UP the
aisle the party gracefully marched 10
the trumphal air of the wedding
march, making II beautiful taDleauN
before the marble altar where tfe
VOWS were perfected: Rev. Walter
German, solemniyed the ceremony.
While the solemn words OF the mar
riage contract were being repeated, the
sweet melody of Hearts and Flowers
filled the church and was succeeded by
the Joyous notes of Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march as the bridal party left the
church. The music was Il happy feature
of the ceremony. Prof. Stockman was
at the organ and was supplemented by
Prof. William Lynott, with the violin.
The bride looked exquisite in gown
of cream albatross, artistically trimmed
with applique. She wore a hat to
match and carried bridal roses.
Miss Burnett, the maid was most
becomngly gowned in a steel colored
gown with trimmings of black lace that
produced a striking effect. Her hat
matched the gown and she carried car
nations.
A reception followed at the home of
the parents of the bride on Cottage
street, and later the wedding supper.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barrett will not take
the customary tour, but will go TO
housekeeping at once.
The bride is the daughter of EX-
councilman and Mrs. p. G.. McDOnough
and is Il favorite in her social set. Her
husband is most popular among his
associates and has d wide acquaintance
about town. He is son Of EX-chief-
of-poice NJ. f. Barrett.

CLASS EXERCISES.
Interesting Night for Members of
Glass of 'O2 Carbondale High
School.

Perhaps the most interesting of the
exercises i'm which they will participate
were the class day doings of the class
of 'O2 of the Carbondale high school in
the splendidly decorated auditorium
of the Central school building last eve
ming.
While of particular interest to the
class members the programme had
much to hold the interest and to en-
tertain the unusual audience that
thronged the auditorium.
The regrettable feature of the even
ing was the disappointment shared in
by so many who We're unable to gain
admittance, some of whom were men,
bers of families wherein there were
graduates. There was much criticism
of the arrangements for accommodate
the throng that unsuccessfully sought
admission. Six or seven times the num-
ber of persons who could be accommo-
dated had been invited and twice the
seating capacity OF the hall was on
hand.
The meritogious programme which re-
flected so brightly ON the participants
was as follows:

Rehearsal of the Ceremony.
The rehearsal of the coronation cere-
mony in Westminster abbey this after
noon was the most largely attended
and elaborate one which has yet been
held. The king and queen and other
prominent personages who were not
present were represented at the pro-
ceedings by substitutes. Col. Brockle-
hurst, equerry to his majesty, imper-
sonated King Edward, and Lady Suf-
field, one of the ladies Of the bed cham
Der, took the part of the queen. Even
the servants We're drilled in their du-
ties connected with the robing ar
rangements and the pages carried out,
theoretically, their functions of coronet
carrying and train bearing.
Although the religious and musical
features of the ceremony were omitted
this afternoon, the instructions and
repetitions by those who are not per-
feet in their parts caused the rehearsal
to occupy about the full time planned
for Saturdays ceremonies.

month or two. Then the burden of the
present situation will be made to rest
on the shoulders of the general public
and householders will be expected to
pay whatever price the coal producers
may think necessary in order to re-
imburse them for the losses they will
have sustained, no matter what the re-
suit of the strike may prove to be.
Each of the parties to the strike con-
troversies appears to go on the theory
that the public is helpless, and may
safely be dismissed as a possible fac
tor in the attainment of settlement.
They are entirely justified in SO as
Stunning. All past experience shows
that to be true. But it may be worth
the while of either or both Of them
to reflect that it is possible to reach
the limit even of the endurance of the
American people.
1t is a maxim of public law that
where there is a wrong there is also
a remedy. 1t is hardly credible that
public authority in this country, state
and national alike, will continue to
remain inactive in the face of the pub
lie burden and disgrace which con-
fiicts like that prevailing in Pennsyl-
vania impose on the entire people.

ADMIRALTY WON'T RELY
ON FOREIGNERS PLEDGE
So Declares Secretary Foster in House
OF Commons Regarding Morgan's
Shipping Combine.

LONDON, Aug. SIN e course of
the consideration of the naval esti-
mates in the house of commons today,
Edmund Robertson Oiberal), abiding
to the statement that J. Pierpont Nor
gan had offered the government the
right to utilize the vessels of the ship
combine as British cruisers, said he
hoped that neither the admiralty or
government would make a conclusive
bargain in SO serious a matter with
out affording the house an opportunity
to consider it,
Hugh Arnold Foster, secretary to the
admiralty, in reply said he was not
IN a position to make a statement on
the subject, except to say that the
admiralty certainly was not relying on
any pledge made by any foreigners.
The subsidies to which the admiralty
was now committed, however, would
be paid. With respect to the subsidy
ships, Mr.. Arnold Foster said they
were absolutely under government
control during the subsidy period He
was not in a position to state what
might be the ultimate decision of the
government on the larger question of
subsidization or in regard to contribu-
tons towards the establishment of
new lines between the United King
dom and the colonies.

there is no mistaking the aim of the
prevailing Republican outcry against
the trusts. The Republican party,
through it's public policies, is RESPONSE
BILE mainly for bringing the most of
these Illegal combinations into exist
ence. 1t is the same party whose rep
resentatives in Office have united dur
ing the same period in perpetuating
their power. How idle, then, to think
that public dependence can be placed on
that party for compliance with the
public demand for their regulation and
control.
The prevailing travesty of hostility
to the trusts will be maintained as
long as it is thought effective. The
people will continue to be deceived as
long as they are thought capable of
deception. Any expedient will be re-
sorted to between elections to perpet-
uate the delusion that the party of the
trusts and combines can be trusted
for their destruction. But there will
be an end one day of the prevailing de-
ception, and the outcome of the sham
prosecution directed against the Chi
cago packers will no doubt hasten
that end.

DlSMISSING THE PUBLIC,

The experience of this city in pro-
viding for its supply of fuel for city
schools for the ensuing year is quite
suggestive of the position which the
country will probably be obliged to
occupy regarding it's principal fuel
supply during the coming fall and win
ter. The only bids to supply the nee
essary hard coal for the schools were
offered by two local firms, and they
were each for 1925 a ton for the'entire
season. The absence of all other bid
ders for the hard coal contract is de-
clared to be due to the uncertainty of
the situation in the hard coal produc-
ing district.
It is not difficult to see that if 1926
per ton is asked from the city on the
purchase of a large amount of coal,
individual consumers can safely look
forward to paying so, if not more, per
ton for their supplies, assuming even
that the prevailing strike should be
brought to a close before the summer
nos PebooCN away n Lew 0dyS ago the
statement was made in the local pub
lie press that the supply of hard coal
in the city was exhausted; and that
there was not a ton of anthracite coal
to be had at any price. The statement
may be exaggerated; but it is in all
probability not far from the truth.
Of course the consumption of an
thracite coal is quite limited during
the summer season in this city and vi
cinity. None of it is used for domes-
tic purposes, while most, if not ALL of
our manufacturing and business es-
Establishments use bituminous coal for
their purposes. The hardships conse-
quent on the existing strike in the coal
regions is accordingly but little felt
now by the masses of the American
people. 1t viii not be so within a

GERMANY TO ENFORCE
MEAT INSPECTION LAW
Commencing April 1, 1908, All Produce
Going Into the Country Will Be
Rigdly Examined.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Aug. 5.-The
state department today made public
reports from Ambassador White at
Berlin, dated July IL and IA, that, ac-
cording to an official proclamation, the
meat inspection law will go into force
in it's entirety on April 1, 1903, with
the exception of the section which re-
lates to doing away with a second ex-
animation, of meat once officially in
spected. This paragraph will not go
into effect until Oct. 1, 1904.
A report on the new regulations re-
ceived from Consul General Richard
Guenther, of Frankfort, says that as
the time is approaching when the new
regulations concerning the Importation
of meat and it's transportation in tran
sit through Germany will go into force
it will be well to note the following
imports into Germany are prohibited:
Meat in Theoretically sealed boxes
and similarly vessels, as we'll as sausages
and other mixtures OF chopped meats;
dog meats,i also prepared meat Of
horses, asses, mules and other solipeds;
meats which have been treated with
one Of the following substances or
with a preparation containing such:
Boracic acid and it's salt, formalyde-
hyde, hydro oxides and carbonates Of
alkali, sulphurous acid and it's salts,

HUMeUeeINe THE PUBLIC.

The Republican party, through the
agency of the present administration.
is very evidently doing it's utmost to
remove any doubt which an intelligent
citizen may entertain as to the real in
tent of it's avowed trust prosecutions.
AS If to emphasize the purely political
nature of the action of the department
of justice, the members of the beef
trust have, in the face of the existing
litigation, taken steps openly to make
their existing combination more extern
slVe and effective. They still maintain
their eXorbitant prices to consumers of
meat, without even the semblance of JUS
tlhcatIon for such action in any existing
natural or trade condition. In addition
to all this, their plea just interposed to
the complaint of the attorney general
is almost contemptuous in it's terms.
Admitting the truth Of all that has
been alleged as to the maintenance by
them of an illegal combination, they
demur to the departments complaint,
insisting that the remedy demanded
is unwarranted. Originally these pub
lie offenders openly declared their dis
regard of the prosecutions, since they
did not pretend to invoke the criminal
penalties which attended the illegal ac-
ton charged against them.
No better proof is needed than is
furnished by the attitude thus taken bv
the trust of the insincerity of the pro-
ceedings of the government. The stock
raising interests of the country have
given expression to their conviction in
this behalf. The current news dis
patches show that they are aggressive
ly IN opposition to the present conduct
OF the trusts; that they disregard the
action of the federal authorities. and
that they propose to fight the combine
to the end if it adheres to it's present
purpose of further closing up the ave-
nues of competition in the purchase of
live stock They are conscious of the
effort that has been in progress among
these public vampires at every great
eat-producing center to control and
1alsify for their own ends the market
reports of live stock sales.
Inc present game of the Republican
politicians is to make pretense of bitter
hostility to the trusts, while eyading
any action which could intelligently be
regarded as designed to seriously les
sen their influence. To anyone who
pears IN mind the recognized relation
snip which the trusts and the partv
IN power have borne in each succeeding
election in the past eight or ten years,

ASKS FOR $4,000
FOR USE OF THE PAZ
of Private Vessels in Harbor of
Dependency.

: WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 5-The
question Of the right of the govern
ment to seize and use private vessels
in the harbor Of a dependency of an
enemy for war purposes during war
time is involved in a case in which an
appeal was docketed in the United
States supreme court today. The case
is that of S. Ribas Hijo, company
with offices in Vigal, Spain, and Ponce,
Porto Rico, against the United States,
for the payment of $4,000 for the al
legged lease by the United States of
the companys vessel, The Paz, since
wrecked in the Porto Rican hurri-
cane.
The appellants claim that the vessel
was leased by the quartermaster's de-
partment as a collier from July %,
1898, to Aug. IL, 1899, and that the
war department has refused to pay
any money for the use of the vessel
The case is appealed from the district
court of Porto Rico, which upheld the
seizure as use OF an enemy's. prop
erty by a war power for war purposes
recognized by international law. The
United States claimed its relinQuish-
ment of the vessel was purely an act
of grace.

WAR AS DISCIPLINE.

The German emperor is the first of
fication of the existing militarism, aside
from that with which the world has
always been familiar-the claim of the
necessity, in the interest of peace, of
maintaining existing ornaments. The
additional justification advanced by
the Emperor William is that the nation
can afford to maintain all it's able
bodied male subjects in arms because
it can afford the expense, land, be-
sides, l consider" he adds, that the
army returns to the nation all it costs
in discipline of character and whole
some training of the boy"
This is an ingenious explanation, and
might be accepted were it not contra
dicted by all history. 1t is equivalent
to saying that the men of a given
country must be maintained in state
of idleness for more or less prolonged
period in the life of each man, and a
compulsory military regime be main
| tanned, in order that the youth of the
country may learn the advantages of
discipline of character.
1t is hardly conceivable that the
present German ruler would at any cost
consent to making an end of the pres
ent military system, aside wholly from
the demands Of national protection. He
is first of all and above all things a
war lord It is not to be denied that
he has set the nation on the highway
of industrial success, and has done
great work for the promotion of the
arts Of peace within his own country.
But his present attitude remains none
the less certainly that of the ruler
who believes that the military arm of
government must always dominate.
partial disarmament is an international
agreement. But, international agree
ment or no international agreement,
William of Germany insists that for
the proper training of the youth of his
country there must be enforced mill
tary service.
No believer in liberty will be de-
ceived by any such specious argument.
National defense has never been the
controlling motive with the monarchs
of the world. That motive has been
and is today the subsection of the
masses, who through militarism are
made the agents of their own enslave-
ment. Russia, Germany, France and
England could, if their rulers desired,
within twenty-four hours produce such
partial disarmament as would re-
lease the industries Of their countries
from the burden of the prevailing mill
tary establishments without in the
slightest measure lessening their Sc
curity as against each other. Human
enlightenment may in the progress of
time force them to such a course
For the present generation, at least,
European militarism will continue,
without either justification or excuse.
