The PIatt-Janeway wedding.

New York, Oct. 15.-Although today
was the day set for the wedding of
U. S. Senator Thomas Collier Plat and
Mrs. Lillian T. Janeway the ceremony
had not been performed at the Marble
Collegiate Church up to noon today, and
the report was in circulation that it
would not be necessary for the couple to
go there as they were married very quietly
a few days ago. Senator Platt positively
refused to make any statement to the
newspaper men. When seen in his apart
mentg at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this
morning he said: ~ will not be inter
viewed, and any statements that may be
published as coming from me will have
no foundation, in fact" The Senator
left the Fifth Avenue Hotel shortly be-
fore ten o'clock, and was driven to the
Holland House, where Mrs. Janeway,
has been stopping since her arriv-
al in the city. Soon after he left
members of the republican State or
ganized tipped off the newspaper men
who had congregated to witness the
wedding, that Mrs. Janeway was al
ready Mrs. Plat. The rumor had it
that the couple had been quietly mar
rsed in Mrs. Janeway's apartments Oh
Sunday last by Rev. Dr. Burrell, pastor
of the Episcopal Marble Collegiate
Church. When a card was sent to the
Senator asking him if the report was
true, he sent it back unanswered. In
quiry at DR.. Burrel's residence revealed
the fact that nothing was known there
regarding the alleged ceremony.
The fact that Senator Plat and Mrs.
Janeway we're married on Sunday was
confirmed at one o'clock this afternoon
by the Senator's private Secretary, Mr.
Howe. He stated that the ceremony
took place last Sunday aud was per-
formed by the Rev. DR.. Burrell. Only
the immediate family of the contract
ing parties were present
Senator Platt's bride is the widow of
the late DIR. Theo. Janeway, who died
six years ago. Mrs. Janeway is a resi-
dent of Washington, having a beautiful
home there at 1874 | street. The happy
couple will not live there, however, as
the Senator has engaged apartments at
the Arlington Hotel for the winter.
Senator Platt's first wife, who was his
cousin, Ellen Lucy Barstow, died in
February 1901. The Senator has three
sons and Mrs. Janeway one daughter.
He celebrated his 10th birthday some
months ago.
Miss Mae Catherine Wood, the de-
partnent clerk from Washington, who,
it was rumored, was contemplating a
suit for breach of promise, is still in
New York city, but has not made any
trouble for the Senator or his new made
bride. In fact, she denies that she has
had any intention Of suing the Senator
Or that she was in any way interested in
his movements. The formal announce
nent of the wedding of the Senator and
Mrs. Janeway, as made by Mr.. Howe,
MS secretary, was as follows;
"The marriage was held privately to
avoid the crush and notoriety which
would have attended a public ceremony.

The Situation in the Far East

Toxic, Oct. 15.-The alarmists' re-
ports of impending war between Russia
and Japan, which have been current in
Europe for some days past, have been
greatly exaggerated. The conference be-
tween the representatives of Russia and
japan continue, and this is taken as a
good sign. Nothing has as yet been
learned as to the results ofthe conference
yesterday between Baron De Rosen, the
Russian minister, and Baron Koumura,
the japanese minister of foreign affairs.

MR.. CLEvELAND'S SPEECH.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland made a
notable speech before the members of the
Commercial Club at their annual banquet
in the Auditorium Hotel in Chicago last
night. The subject discussed by Mr. Gle
veland was american Good Citizen
ship" and he dwelt at length on the
necessity of every citizen doing his part
to make political action what it should
be. He pointed out many grave perils to
the nation and among other things said:
'Is not our public life saturated with
the indecent demands of selishnesS?
More than this, can any of US doubt the
existence of still more odious and detest-
able evils which, with steady, cankering
growth, are, more directly than all
others, threatening our safety and ma
tional life? speak of the corruption Of
our suffrage, open and notoriousi
of the buying and selling of po-
litical places for money, the purchase of
political favors and privileges and the
traffic in official duty for personal gain.
Wholesome national sentiment is
threatened with utter perversion. All sort
Of misconceptions pervade the public
thought, and jealousies, rapidly taking
on the complexion of class hatred, are
found in every corner of the land. With
a hardihood that savors of insolence, an
old pretext, which has preceded, the
doom of ancient experiments in popular
rule, is daily and hourly dinned in our
ears. We are told that the national splen-
dor we have built upon the snowy VEN
lures Of speculative wealth is badge of
our success. Wenow see the apparently
incorrigible dislocation OF the proper re-
lations between labor and capital. |
have faith that the awakening is forth
coming; and on this faith build cheer
full hopefor the healing ofall the wounds
inflicted in slumber and neglect"

Do Good-It Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that,
Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it." Most men ap-
preciate kind word and encourage
ment more than substantial help.
There are persons in this community
who might truthfully say: "My good
friend, cheer up. A few doses of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will rid
you of your cold, and there is no danger
whatever from pneumonia when you use
that medicine. 1t always cures. /

Timothy Tice, until last June pastor of
st. PauPs African Methodist Episcopal
Church, Cambridge, Mass, is causing
great deal of excitement among the resi-
dents of Richmond Hill in the fashion,
able suburb of Brookline, where he has
just bought a house. He has made q
contract for a house on one of the most
fashionable avenues ON Richmond Hill,
aud has paid down $500. He is about
to take title to the place, which be will

SomnamhuIist Bride.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Mrs. Montgomery
Sears Butler, Boston bride, spent the
first night of her honeymoon on fire
escape at the Victoria Hotel. Mont
gomery Sears Butler, the husband of the
Boston bride, spent the night roaming
the streets, striding up and down the
hotel corridor, wandering through the
hotel halls-in fact, everywhere save in
the bridal chamber. Incidentally, when
the bride was found perched on the
lowest round of the fire escape, the men
were ungallant enough to make remarks
about woman who chose to spend the
night clinging to the side ola building.
She was somnambulist, had risen from
her bridal couch and clad only in her
night robes had walked down the fire
escape and seated herself, while still
asleep, on one of the rungs of the iron
ladder.

PRETTY RoMANcE.-A pretty ro-
nance, begun at a church convention,
eliminated yesterday afternoon, when
Miss Mary India Grimm, daughter OF j.
Rely Grimm, a prominent contractor Of
Winchester, became the bride Of Rev.
Guy Alexander Luttrell, pastor Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Raw
ings, Nd. Last June Mr.. Luttrell was
a delegate to the Epworth League Con-
vention of Baltimore Conference, which
was held at Brunswick, Md. With a
number of other young ministers he was
watching the incoming trains bearing
delegates to the convention, when he
jocularly remarked that he would like
to get married if he could find pretty
girl that suited him among the dele
gates. He watched, however, in vain
until the train from the South bearing
the Virginia delegates came into the
station. Among those who alighted
was Miss Grimm, and the moment Mr.,
LurreI saw her he said: Chats the
girl" He secured an introduction, their
courIship followed and yesterday after
noon Miss Grimm became his wife. The
wedding was quiet affair, and was wit
messed by only the immediate members
of the two families.

SHE CHANGED HER MIxD.-Justice

SHE CHANGED HER MIND. Justice
of the Peace S. A. Pierce, Of Pelham,
n. c., was called up yesterday to unite
in marriage f. w. Moore, of Danville,
and Mrs. Kate Mobley, of Winston
Salem, N. c., the couple having driven
out TO the Gretna Green from Danyille
in a buggy. The license was made out
in due form and properly attested and
the fee was paid into the hands of the
magistrate, when further proceedings
we're baked by the refusal of the BRIDE
elect to fulfill her part of the obligation.
She asked the Justice whether the
license SOuld not keep until later day,
and decided to postpone the wedding.
She gave no reason for her strange act.
If any explanation had been offered to
the disappointed groom nothing had been
said of it. Mr.. Moore could not be seen
last night. The story reached DanviIe
by letter from Pelham. Nothing can be
learned of Mrs. Mobley here beyond the
fact that she is an extremely pretty wo-
man.

German Jealousy of Italy.

Berlin, Oct. 15.-Germany is greatly
irritated by the visit of King Victor
Emmanuel of Italy to France. A rap
proachment between France and Italy
would be blow to the triple alliance,
which is fast becoming little more than
phrase. The newspapers comment on
VictOr's visit in adverse strain. The
Neustate Nachrichten describes Italy as
an unfaithful wife married to Germany,
and conducting liaison with France.

Will Give up Wife.

st. Louis, Oct. 15.-Charles Walters
declares that the love of his wife for an
aristocratic hermit fisherman is stronger
than her regard for the marriage VOWS
taken eleven years ago. After waiting
for more than year for her to return to
him and their two Sons, he has filed suit
in the circuit court at Clayton for a
divorce. Walters says Count Otto Won
Reisinger, handsome, polished, aristo-
cratic, mysterious, is the cause of his
domestic troubles. He declares that his
wife and the count are together some
where, but he says he does not know the
place of abode. Mrs. Walters parents
say that she is yet in ST. Louis, but they
do not know her address. They also say
they do not know whether she is with
the fascinating nobleman.

TilIman Acquitted.

Lexington. S. c.. Oct. 15.-James
II. Tillman, former Lieutenant Governor
of South Carolina, is free man. The
Jury which had heard the case against
him for the killing of Editor n. G.
Gonzales. decided, after more than Il
hours deliberation, that he was not
guilty of murder. The verdict brings
with it the inference that the jurymen
considered the shooting justifable. Till
man passed a miserable night. The
strain of waiting for verdict that meant
life or death, told on him. When called
into court to hear the verdict, he was
haggard, but tried to appear as listless
and Indifferent as during the trial. 1t
was Just 1890 when the jurymen knock
ed on the door of the room and an
nounced that they had arrived at con-
clusion. Judge Gary took his seat and
directed the sheriff to arrest any one
making demonstration. The jury was
then called in, polled and the verdict
handed to Judge Gary, who read it and
announced that it found the prisoner
not guilty. There was burst of cheer
ing in the room and then Tillman' 5
friends crowded aroung him offering
congratulations and shaking him by the
hand. Tillman frightened up when the
favorable decision was announced and
when he received his discharge left the
court room, his face wreathed in
smiles. From the court house Tillman
vert to the Lexington Jail to get his eff
lects. He was accompanied by his old
family servant, George johnson, negro,
who has been faithful to his master
throughout the long imprisonment and
trial. From the Jail Tillman went to
the hotel where his mother and his wife
we're awaiting him. The meeting was
most affectionate. Tillman refused his
two pistols which were handed to him
when the verdict was pronounced.
Later Col. Tillman gave out the
following statement: 81 feel very CRATE
ful for the verdict, but at no time did
apprehend any serious consequences, |,
of course, regret deeply lthe death Of Mr.
Gonzales, but II was forced to do what
| did,"
The charge against former Lieut.. Gov.
James III. Tillman was the shooting
and killing of N. G. Gonzales, editor OF
the Columbia State. The shooting oc-
Cured on January 10th last, on the
streets of the State capital. The Lieu
tenant Governor had just left the capitol
building after presiding over a session OF
the State Senate. He passed Gonzales
on the street, and, apparently without
warning, drew revolver and shot the
editor through the abdomen. Gonzales
staggered and fell. He was taken to
his Office and from there to his home,
where he died on January 10. Tillman,
after the shooting, walked away and
gave himself up. He was placed in
Jail and has been in custody ever since.
His case was to have been tried in
Columbia, but his attorneys had the
place changed to Lexington. The
shooting was the result of a personal
and political feud brought about by the
bitter attacks which Gonzales made on
Tillman, through the Columbia State
