italian Wedding Customs.

No maiden can witness the marriage
of an Italian woman, no matter how in
innate she has been as a friend, bu.
matrons accompany her to the church,
says the WOman's Home Companion.
Neither can girl enter the house or
her lover, and SO emphatic is this rule
that it is considered necessary for d
woman to pass by the house of her low
er in such public way that all can be
satisfied that she does not enter it..
The lover gives presents according to
the season-cake at Easter, roseb IDS
at the feast of st. Marks, and almond
paste at Christmas. In addition t.
bonbons and confectionery the bride
groom sends the future bride all the
jewelry he can afford, especially f1ngei
rings. Sunday is the only lucky day
in the week for weddings, as all others
have some ominous meaning. If the
wedding is on Monday insanity is
threatened; Thursday is witches day;
Tuesday wedding will bring great
suffering, etc. In Venice the bride
groom must furnish the gohdolas for
the marriage procession, four candles
for the mass and plenty of coppers for
the swarming beggars.

Johnstown, July l2.-Yesterday was
a day Of heroic rescues at the Cambria
Steel company mine. Thrilling eXper-
fence attended the efforts of forty
brave and daring recuers. The reward
of their efforts was the saving of the
lives of IA men.
The dead and MANNED bodies wer
located, but no effort was made to
bring them out until every human
energy was put forward towards seeing
that no living soul might escape their
aid. That done, the dead were at
tended to and put in train cars and
brought up. Eighty-seven dead bodies
were recovered up to nightfall. The
impression prevails that $50 is the low
estimate of the casualty list. Great
throngs surged about the pit mouth,
the morgue at the armory and the
stricken homes of the dead all day.
The rescuers had terrible experien-
ces and the story probably never will
be told. Brave men went into the jaws
Of death, encountered their fellows
transformed into raving maniacs by
the hours Of waiting, lifted them moan
ing, from their beds of fallen rock and
then bending and crawling on all tours,
carrying them a quarter of mile I'M
dergrouno where the cars could be
reached to take them outside.
The first train reached the mouth of
the pit at 3 o'clock. Eighteen men
were lifted to ambulances and were
taken to the hospitals. Half an hour
later six more living men were
brought to the surface. At Abs, SO
terribly distorted dead bodies were,
brought~up. Most of those brought
out alive yesterday afternoon saved
themselves by crawling into the cham
Der and turning the valve of a COM
pressed air pipe. One man was found
dead with his hands clutched so tightly
about the monkey wrench it could not
be removed.
Latest List Gives 143.
Johnstown, July 1.-TWO members
of the relief party said at 1 o'clock this
morning that 81 bodies had been load
ed on cars and were ready to be
brought out aftere daylight This
will swell the dead list to LAB.

the senatorship from which it would
be difficult to rout him. At the same
time it removes the complication of To-
cation involved should La Toilette
wait to displace Quarles. Further
more it makes certain, through David
son in the executive chair, of La Fol
lettes memory being kept green at
home
And all this may account for the ut
ter absence of opposition to Davidson
for lieutenant governor! His nomina-
ton is one of the events of the week
as certain to occur as La Follettefs.
incidentally it may be noted that the
most accurate forecast of the probable
ticket is:

Treasurer-J. G. End, ShebOygan.

Then the lieutenant governor, sue
ceeding to the governorship, could ap-
point La Toilette senator.
1t is presumed that Gov. La Toilette
is more anxious to have J. o. Davidson
nominated for lieutenant governor this
week than for any other event in con-
nection with the state ticket which he
is to dominate and the reason assigned
is that he wants an absolutely trusty
man to succeed him, both with refer
ence to the senatorship and to carry
out his policies in statecraft David
son is such character. He is pro-
foundly loyal to his chief-no man was
ever more so; and he has a backbone
Ike the beam of a derrick He is in
thorough sympathy with La Fo1lettes
policies. In truth, he even forestalls
the governor in tax reform 1t was
Davidson, while an assemblyman long
before La Toilette became governor,
who forced a bill through the legisla-
ture justly raising the taxes which the
elusive express companies must pay;
but it came to naught through hostility
encountered after it had run the legis-
lative gauntlet. But the measure in
dictates Davidson's tendencies and sug-
gests that he can be trusted to fur

he has strength enough to displace
Spooner, and yet two years from now
how can he be chosen to succeed
Quarles since, in that event, Madison
would have both the senator's? Gov.
La Toilette must be a party idol great
er than the state has known or possess
power almost beyond conception to
move a legislature to thus centralize
these exalted honors. At the present
time the governor is really estopped
from making a senatorial canvass in
his own behalf.
In letter published two years ago
he declared that if elected governor
he should serve out his term and that
he should desire a reelection to enable
him to complete the reforms under
taken. That was the effect of his
statement. No promise was made to
serve out second term. and now the
claim is made that he has no intention
of doing SO if the senatorship can be
reached. The plan outlined Dy those
