Following is a clipping from the home
paper of Mr.. and Mrs. Roadhouse:
In the drawing room of the residence
of Councillor and Mrs. w. ]. Shean,
Union street, under an evergreen arch
decorated with white bridal ribbon and
Union Jacks, their second daughter, Miss
Hattie Rontree Shean, was united in
marriage to Rev. S. M. R%oadhouse, B. o.,
/ of Dickinson, North Dakota. Promptly
a twelve o'clock the bridal party entered,
the strains of a wedding march rising in
response to the exquisite touch of Miss
Baker. The bride, who was given away
by her father, looked very pretty in a
gown of white Japanese ~taffeta with
chiffon yoke, trimmed with chiffon, point
lace and applique. She was attended
by her sister, Miss Annie Victoria Shean
who was attractivcly gowned in white
organdie, valencienne insertion and lace.
Pretty little Nadine Middlebro, daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. H. Z. Middlebro, acted
in the capacity of flower girl. and looked
really charming in a white silk dress
trimmed with applique. Master Cecil
Acroyd, son OF Mr.. George Acroyd of
Toronto, made an attractive little page,
being dressed in a black velvet suit with
white silk blouse. The bride, brides
maid and flower girl each carried
bouquets of magnificent American
beauty roses. The groom was supported
by Rev. E. w. McBrien, pastor of the
West Street Methodist church, while the
ceremony was performed by Rev. DR..
Langford pastor OF the First Methodist
church. After the customary exchange
OF congratulations, the guests to the num-
Der OF sixty, adjourned to the dining
room, which was decorated for the occa-
sion with pink and white carnations and
smilax, the central feature of the table
being a storied wedding cake. Rev. and
Mrs. Roadhouse left for their western
home on the afternoon c. P. R. express,
and will visit Chicago and St. Paul en-
route: The brides travelling dress was
a handsome suit of blue Amazon cloth
with bodice of tucked cream ~tafeta, and
toque toque to match. To simply say
that the presents were numerous would
scarcely be doing justice to the splendid
array Of beautiful and costly mementoes
sent by the myriad friends of the young
couple. Among these was a set of sable

WATER OR WINE EITHER.
King Edward Is Willing to Have His
Health Drunk So.

London, Aug. skiing Edward has just
made a concession which ought to raise
him nightly in the estimation of the
advocates of total abstinence, but will
scarcely add to his popularity among the
liquor dealers. A naval officer wrote him
a letter asking him to issue an order to
the effect that it is not necessary, when
his health is proposed, as it is daily at
every mess table, that the toast should
be drunk in wine. The King replied,
through his secretary, that he thought the
Lords OF the Admiralty would accuse him
of undue interference II he were to issue
any order on the subject, but that per-
sonally he would feel just as much hon
ored when his health was drunk in water
as when it was drunk in wine, and that
he would be glad if the sentiments in
this matter could be made known private
ly. 1t may be doubted whether in naval
circles generally water viii be regarded
as a satisfactory substitute for wine or
grog in patriotic health drinking, but the
King has opened an easy avenue for es
cape to the conscientious teetotaller.

liberty must necessarily enfeeble French
sympathy for Russia This allusion to
religion and liberty was more than NJ.
Clemenceau could endure. and he makes
the vigorous encounter: Just see.'' he ex-
claims, the righteousness of this bit OF
perfdy. In seeking to euancipate our
selves from the Church of Rome We fall
foul of the Gar, himself the Pope of a
heresy which is as obnoxious to the Vati-
can as is our own. And as the words
liberty and 'autocracy' are synonymous
for Prince Mestchersky, we are supposed
to turn our backs on the Russian alliance
from the moment that We allow ourselves
TO follow our French traditions of trying
TO found liberty on the right of man to
be his own master instead of serving
others" He then goes or TO represent
Prince Mestchersky as the victim of the
old apprehension which has haunted the
party of rabid reaction in Russia, that
through the alliance between the two
countries the French Revolution would
exercise its emancipating influence in the
very councils of autocracy. That, he says.
is the secret of all the efforts made by
Prince Mestchersky TO thwart the Fran
coRussian alliance. just as the French
Clericals threw themselves blindly into
the arms OF the Car in the hope that the
partnership between absolutism and the
republic would result in the destruction
of liberty. All this may be true, but it
is not particularly conciliatory.

SHARP SATIRICAL ARTICLE

Berlin, Aug. s.-The Radical press con-
tinues its criticisms OF the extraordinary
honors showered upon Cornelius Wander
bilt by the Kaiser.
One paper says it proves that the time
has past when, as Frederick the Great
said, the name of an honorable man was
more highly esteemed in Germany than
that of millionaire elsewhere.
Macmillan Harden, the famous pub
list, in a satirical article in the current

ton by Vanderbilt of his impression and
reception at Danzig.
What pity" Vanderbilt is made TO
say, that papa died so early. He always
used to say that l had nothing in me.

myself: What have you done to deserve
this? Two Prussian officers who don't
know you, know nothing about you, ex-
cept that you have inherited much money,
do formal homage to you. as if your pres
ence were the highest honor.

SAYS CRISIS IMMINENT.
Russian Officer of High Rank Makes
Some Predictions.

St. Petersburg Aug. S.-The Europeen
publishes letter which is said to have
been written by an officer of high rank.
If this be true. the significance of the fol-
lowing passage is evident: Russia is an
absolute monarchy. II pure despotism
has prevailed in Russia since the reign
of Alexander III, and If it continues to
be practiced by Nicholas IL, that is a
fragrant abasement of our system. 1t is
an abuse which is protested against by
the sense of legality inherent in civilized
peoples, and Russia could not claim to be
included among them IL she tolerated Ii.
But she does not tolerate it, and that cir
cumstance is the cause Of the crisis which
our country is now passing through, the
origin of all those protestations, revolts,
and political assassinations. The case OF
Finland is something unheard of and even
stupid. 1t Is more than a crime-it is a
blunder; for that violation of the funda-
mental rights of the population of a part
of the Russian Empire was completely
useless and could not be excused even by
reasons of state It could only satisfy
the instincts of a despot who should not
be confounde dwith the chief of an abso
lutte monarchy. the guardian of the law
and Of the rights of his people. A crisis
is imminent In Russia"
