WEDDING INVITATION
 -r-z,1,p,,.
FIT

An invitation to a church wedding does not demand an answer but an invitation to a reception does, for the parents of the bride want to know how many guests to expect, When you get an invitation to church wedding and reception following, send to the brides parents regret or acceptance, and send also cards, if you are unable to go, on the day of the wedding. It is not obligatory-to send cards to the bride. A call on her later is-the proper acknow- ledgement of the invitation, or cards sent on one of her days when she will be at home. if you are unable to call upon her.
 If you wish to attend the reception and not the church ceremony, I advise accepting generally the invitation, as it will not make any difference whether you are at the church or not, and it is awkward to word an invitation to ac- |cept for the reception and decline for church. If you can attend the church ceremony and not the reception, decline in the same way. I think that I have covered the ground of your questions in my answer. I hope that have made my answers quite clear and helpful to you.-Harper's Bazar.

BALLOONS As NAYAL SCOUTS.

In the autumn of 1901 and during 1902 experiments were made at Sevastopol
 in the use of balloons for naval pur-
 poses. In consequence of the favorable
 reports naval balloon parks were estab-
 lished at Sevastopol, Port Arthur and
 Kronstadt, but the material and or ganization were not satisfactory, and Lieut.. Bolsher was sent to France to
 study these matters there. He has now returned and will carry out experiments
 during this year in connection with the following objects: Increase of the
 radius of action of wireless telegraphy from balloons, day and night signalling
 from balloons, reconnoitring with bal
 looms at night, reconnoitring with free
 balloons, travelling in free balloons in a
 line at 70 degrees from the direction of the wind by means of apparatus in vented by the French engineer, H. Nerve, and used with success by him in the Mediterranean, and measures to be
 adopted in ascending and descending on

EMINEN1LY FITTING.

Our old and esteemed townsman
 Judge Lyman E. Munson makes timely and most pertinent suggestion in one of his recent and very able arti-
 cles on tThe Louisiana Purchase" which is commended to the manage ment of the St. Louis Purchase Exposi- ton. This suggestion is in view of Jef-
 ferson's Louisiana purchases
 greatest real estate transaction ever re-
 corded in history, made with peaceful deliverance, without smoke of cannon, gleaming of hayonet, hlare of trumpet
 or shadow of soldier. uniform. This
 great empire of acres passed from
 France a warlike nation, to the sover- eighty of this republic in quiet, peace ful ways under the prophetic wisdom
 and guidance of Jefferson one hundred
 years ago last April 30. and the worlds
 convention at St. Louis opened on that day with dedicatory sevices at the gate way entrance to this great purchase" Judge Munson's closing remarks in the article are as follows: l National monuments: Washington's

 ferings of loving, devoted, patriotic people to his memory. Jefferson has no
 national monument outside of conscious
 duty we'll performed to the nation and
 to the liberties of the people, the world over.

 to Jefferson, to stand at the gateway

soul and to impart forgiveness of sins.
 Any priest of the Catholic Church can administer this rite. and it is the priv ilege of any child of that communion. however humble or sinful, to receive it. In the case of Leo. the rite was administered by a high dignitary of the Church, Monsignor Pifferi, the pope's private confessor, and was made inn pressive by the presence of the cardin- als in their sumptuous robes of office; but the Catholic chaplain on the battle field may perform the same office for the wounded private who goes on the same journey and who needs the same light to comfort him.
 In performing this service, the offiei- ating priest recites number of litur- gical prayers and then proceeds to the anointing with the holy oil. Dipping his thumb in the consecrated vessel, he makes the sign of the cross upon the eyes, the ears, the nose, the mouth, the hands and the feet. As he touches the eyes he says: Through this holy unc- tion, and His most tender mercy. may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins 1 thou hast committed by seeing. Amen" |" Making the same sign upon the ears, the nostrils, the mouth, the hands and the feet he repeats the formula re- specting the hearing, the smelling, the tasting, the touching and the walking. The oil used in extreme unction must be blessed and eonsecrated by a bishop, a ceremony which is annually per formed with the assistance Of many priests, and which is attended with great solemnity. -1...

IMPROFEHES

The big consultations and mergers and uniacation of interests by the diff ferent great railroa organizations of the country made. mghy of them, at costly figure and which in the end in the case of the well managed corpora tions, will inure to their benefit and in- crease their prosperity, have not left the treasuries of their lines overflowing with ready cash. The. Pennsylvania has secured a large amount of new funds from the subscriptions to it's new capital stock, although it's plan to raise the money was only saved from defeat by getting a syndicate to guarantee that the new issue would be taken at or above the subscription price. The New York Central, another of the gilt edged roads, finds need for millions of money for its improvements to be made in New York city and vicinity and instead of is- suing new stock with Wall street stocks demoralized. it is to secure the funds needed by borrowing and at compar- atively high rate of interest. The Atch- ison road is reported to be aching to se- cure new funds for improvements, but hesitates to issue bonds to obtain it with barrels full of good bonds already going a-begging for purchasers. The New York. New Haven and Hartford road handsomely f1oated it's new issue of stock and very successfully. having done so before the squan struck Wall street. The Pennsylvania road has in view besides it's great improvements in progress in and about New York plan to build freight road around Baltimore city, so that all freight coming from the North over the Northern Central bound for Washington and the South and all designed for water shipment could be sent to it's destination without coming through the tunnels or through the city. The volume of this freight is very great and it's removal from the freight yard at Union station would be great relief to the city. It would also measurably abate the smoke nuisance in the tunnels with which the company has had to contend. and which is dan ger to the lives of trainmen and an annoyance to passengers. >-$ .' " Various other railroad companies are in the field for loans and there does not seem to be money enough to go around owing to the big sums tied up in undi- gested securities. But all this money that the Pennsylvania is spending, that the New York Central is to spend, that the other roads are to spend, means just so much more business for the iron and steel mills, for laborers and many others. George ]. Gould just re- turned from western trip finds that great sums are being spent for improve ments and very naturally concludes that the crest of the wave of prosperity in this country has not yet been passed. Let us hope that after all the rumpus there is something left yet to tie up to.

Bishop Thomas March Clark of the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island, who recently celebrated his ninety-f1rst birthday, is the oldest Anglican prelate in the world, yet he possesses a vigor and crispness of utterance which prove that age has brought no impairment of his mental faculties. The bishop was born at Newburyport, Mass, on Independence Day. 1912. In connection with his career it is of interest to note that after taking theological course at Princeton University he was licensed to preach in the Presbyterian Church in his native town in 1885. He was consecrated second Bishop of Rhode Island on December 6, 1854. Bishop Clark is we'll remembered by many in New Haven from his having delivered series of lectures in the Lyman Beecher course one season years ago before Yale Divinity School.
