BoSsED THE PRESIDENT

State Convention So it would not
Interfere With Her Wedding.

| Cleveland, Ohio, May 3o.-(Speeial
to the States America has never seen
such wedding as that which will make
Miss Ruth Hanna the bride Of Joseph
Medill Mccormick of Chicago. No mar
riage has been of such national signih-
canoe as that to be celebrated at noon
on June 10, in St. Paufs historic old
church in Cleveland The President of
the United States, that he may be pres
lent at the ceremony, has altered the tim
eTary of his western tour. The State Re-
publican convention OF Ohio was forced
to postpone its meeting to date to avoid
conflicting with the wedding.
In ST. Paul's church, when Miss Ruth
Hanna becomes Mrs. Joseph Medi1l Nc
Cormick, will be gathered the President
Iof the United States and his Cabinet,
| the ambassadors and diplomats never
seen at any event of less Importance
than the Inauguration of a president.

tenth of June, she said, when Senator
Hanna urged her to change the date to
suit the presidents convenience. 1T can

Senator Hanna wired the president
what his daughter had said, and the
presidents plans were changed.
Senator Hanna after the difficulties in
the way OF postponenlent Of the con-
vention were explained, agreed to have

ties of love and home It is through the
teachings of Woodcraft that is incul-
Gated in the mind and heart the power
of kind words, eXemplihed in loving
facts and in the promotion of morality
and good will. The Order of Noodmen
is not political or sectaTlan. And, While
it is not political, it teaches respect for
government, obedience to law, the main
tenance of order from which must
spring every blessing which will benefit
labor and promote the progress, the
welfare and the elevation of Our race.
And the question of creed is also left
to each individual. Peace is its watch
word; the Golden Rule its guide; it
moves on lines of Harmony and Love.
Its aim is the Fatherhood of God and
the Brotherhood of Man. But, my
friends, (and | address myself directly
to the uninitiated) there is correlative
with this order an indemnity feature,
through which is provided substantial
relief to the beneficiary of every Wood
man at his death. 1t may be his wife,
his mother or some other dependent
loved ones, but this protection, at a
nominal cost, is secured by con1pan-
ionship with the fraternity, through
which hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been paid to the Widows and the
Fatherless. This feature commends it
self as sound business proposition, an
investment which assures the widows
and the orphans, the mother Or the sis
ter of Woodman from want. And
there is still another feature, which is
unique indeed, and is conferred in the
monument of marble which is erected at
the grave of every deceased sovereign
and which is unveiled with appropriate
to designate the hallowed spot where
there is buried Woodman. This mar
Bile. an evidence of tenderness, tells its
own story without words in its glorifi-
cation of life and its idealization of
death. It symbolizes the faith of hui
nanity, the hope of an eternal future
of happiness And still there is another
feature and it is the annual commemo-
ration, Or Memorial Day, which we cele-
brate with flowers and evergreen, tokens
of loving remembrance, when Woodmen
gather In the cemeteries and httingly
recall the memory of those who have
joined the silent majority across the
Golden Shore. And with these thoughts
which have spoken in the hope of i'm
pressing the unintiated favorably, /
must close my discourse and thank you
for your kind attention. And as we leave
this scene, the resting place of our dead,
halfoWed by sad and sweet memories,
let us ever bear in mind the noble pre-
cepts of Wooderaft, that, living, human
ity may be a gamer by our lives; and,
dying, our brows may be entwined with
the wreath of approval-the reward to
the faithful-the wreath of Love and
Immortality.
/, Following this discourse, which re-
ceivsd the closest attention and i'm
pressed wildly those who heard it, there
was sung the closing number on the
program by members of the order, and
Memorial Day was at an end.

General Wilson's Opinion Of General
Woods Promotion.

Washington, Dec. 9.-General James
II. Wilson. L. S. A., retired, was on
the stand for more than an hour in the
Wood investigation before the senate
committee on military affairs. He
told the committee OF his meeting
with Captain E. G. Bellaire at Ha-
vana. saying that he became convinced
that Bellaire came to Havana with
the purpose OF wilfully falsifying con-
ditions in the island; that Bellaire
called on him at his headquarters in
the province of Matanzas and that he
General WILSON, then accused Bel
laire of writing dispatches which gave
wrong color to affairs m the island
and injured the work of General
Brooke and others.
The witness said that Bellaire
sighed and admitted that he was
standing by his friends, declaring that
his position was necessary one.
General Wilson said the remark
could have but one meaning and that
was that he was backing General
Wood, that this was evident from the
nature of Bellaire's disNtshes. The
witness asserted it to be his belief
that Bellaire went to Havana for the
purpose of promoting the advance
ment Of General Wood.
When asked concerning the rapid
strides made by General Wood in
jumping over himself, General Lud-
low and General Lee, the witness
showed a feeling Of bitterness against
General Wood. The effect of the re
sponse was that he considered the
promotion was one brought about by
preferment, rather than warranted by

Sandy Bowers was teaMster, his

a miners boarding house. 1t was in
the early days of Virginia City before
men had grasped the full value of the
discovery, and the teamster, in com

His claim became one Of the bonan

Investigation OF the Government
Postal Department.

Washington. Dec 9-When the
resolution for the investigation of the
postoffice frauds came up in the sen.
ate Mr.. German took the floor and
strongly opposed it's reference to a
committee. He declared that the ma.
jority should not shrink from an in.
yestigation. He said there had been
positive assertions that men who had
unlawfully placed employees on the
rolls were to escape.
Mr.. German said fraud and corrup-
ton were admitted and communicated
to the senate by the president. He
said the country was not satisfied
with the investigation. nor was the
senate. Those who had been accused
had said others higher up were as
guilty as they. while they have been
made scapegoats.

German. "and see If the president will
turn the rascals out"
Mr.. Lodge, who made a motion to
refer the resolution, said that what
Mr. German said only further con-
vnced him that the resolution should
be referred. The investigation made
under order of the president. he be-

There was mass OF evidence in the
