WhitwOrth College Notes.

Misses Efiie Evans, Elise Greaves
and Minnette Eldridge have ma
circulated during the past week:
On last Saturday evening at S
O'Clock all the faculty and student
body met in the college parlor and
held an informal reception, ito
get acquainted.' - Each person was
requested to pin her name card,
which took the place of an intro
duction, on her dress. The
former students conceived the idea
of changing their names by using
the letters of their own in differ
ent combinations. = the easiest
way. perhaps, to change a name.
Misses Elizabeth Adams, Fannye
Johnson and Mary Catchings,
former members of Miss Vivion's
club, with Miss Vivion as leader,
gave several pleasing selections on
the stringed instruments. Miss
Chambers gave a reading that
called for another, so loud was the
applause. Miss Nlylon played
several selections on the harp,
which were very much appreciat-
ed. Miss Effie Evans then read,
"Watchin' the Sparkin' y, which,
as usual, brought down the house,
when rendered by Miss Effie. 1t
was indeed a pleasant evening to
all.
The college boarding depart
ment is being added to every day.
The number now is over 100.
The special departments are fill
ing up rapidly.

man against Bud" Hunsucker
and Sam Tarbutton. both well
known characters Of Brookhayen.
for gambling with minor. the

game of craps by Marshall
Hodgman, llunsuckcr and Tar

about SD; and then pawned his
watch and pistol to Hunsucker
and Tarbutton and lost them-both.
The next day he tried to get
them back but failed to do so,
and thereupon employed Hon.
Thos. Brady, ir., to bring suit.
The case came up for trial last
Wednesday morning and was tried
by jury, who returned a verdict
of guilty and Justice Hoffman
fined Hunsuckel and Tarbutton
$500 each and 80 days on the
county farm.
Hon. Chas. Chrisman, the at

with the Suthcrland-Towncs Lum-
Der Co., of that city. The mar

stead. I h g elegantly attired
guests were received by the hos
tess, Mrs. Edlcr, ably assisted by
Mrs. :. +. Morcton. Mrs. Thos.
McNair. Mrs. Oscar Newton and
Miss Eva Kohlman. The home
was artisticaIly decorated with
pottcd ferns and vines, while
wreath of roses ladened the atmos-
phcre with their rich sweetness.
In the South parlor were exhib-
tied the multitude of costly and
beautiful presents, consisting of
cut glass, silver, china and count
less things of beauty and useful
ness, including several checks.
The North parlor was converted
into a chapel with its altar under
a canopy of white and green, be-
fore which the young couple
plighted til e ir troth. Father
Kiernan, of st. Francis Catholic
church, officiated. Robed in his
sacerdotal robes, he pronounced
the ceremony OF his church with
a deep impressiveness, from the
holy salutation to the "Benedicat
to Ominpoteus Deus, Pater ct Fill
ius, ct Spiritus Sanctus" with its
sign of the cross.
The wedding party approached
the altar in the following order:
Mr.. John Pierce and Miss Rose
Nalty, groomsman and maid.
Miss Nalty looked charming in a
white gown of organdy, profusely
trimmed with lace. She carried a
shower bouquet of roses. Then
followed the maid of honor, Miss
Laura Elder, gowned in white or
CANDY and silk, elaborately trim
med with French embroidery.
She, too. carried a bouquet of
roses. Mr.. Charles ID. Smith, as
best man, preceded the little flow
er girls, Misses Leontine Me
Grath and Josie Elder, who look
ed their parts to perfection and
added a pronounced effect to the
happy scene.
Leaning upon the arm of her
father, came the bride, the cyno-
sure of all eyes. Miss Elder, a
beautiful girl, looked even more
lovely as a bride. She wore
gown of white crepe de chine, en-
traine, q beautiful sequin affair,
crested with dainty pearl embroid-
cry and cascaded with ribbons.
On her arm she carried a loving
bououet of bridal roses and ferns.
while she was almost hidden in
misty film of tulle yelling, caught
with a diamond cluster pin, pre-
nuptial gift from the groom.
After the ceremony Joy relgned
unconfned. Dainty refreshments,
congratulations, h Apply wishes
and regrets at parting with a
young woman so much sought for
by society made the full round
of a beautiful wedding and closed
a very brilliant and charming
event.

sacola. Mrs. Parker possesses
every quality that will fit her to
occupy the social sphere upon
which she will enter in hel new
nome and many unspoken wishes
and congratulations from absent
guests will follow the young
couple into their new life.

NAVY BLOCKADES ON PAPER.



The theoretical blockade of Lisbon by
a squadron of the American navy in May
will be interesting, though productive Of
no great lesson other than the moral one
which may be contained in the illustration
which 1t will give Of the character of our
navy and the manner of men in it. The
blockade Of any important port of any
enemy across the ocean is an impractical
proposition in any case where the defend
ing nation in a measurable degree approxi-
mates the power of the one attacking. The
battleship. without the fighting power Of
which a blockade would be ineffective, is so
dependent for its continued efficiency upon
auxiliaries that of necessity IL must be
within easy reach of it's base of supplies.
1t Was this immunity, by reason OF our
isolation, which was seized by the politi-
clans of this country an excuse for neg
lect of the navy-an immunity which holds
good only so long as the sphere of territory.
annexed or occupied, of Germany or any
other European nation remains where 1t is.
Should any of them seek territorial foot
hold in South America and gain Ii by
a navy, which would be the only weapon
with which we could challenge her pur-
poses, the proposition would be a vastly
different one The loosely governed repub-
lies of South America, careless about treaty
obligations and blind TO the requirements
for reparation which the infiiction of
wrongs demand, are an almost constant
invitation to a designing government such
as that of Germany. What day these peo-
pie, kinsmfolk to those of the Orient, so
fifty described by Kipling as half devil and
half child may offer the cause which will
be insisted on justification for the seiz-
ure of territory for some indefinite time no
man may tell, and for that day this coun-
try must be prepared with an adequate
navy-not to protect the South American
countries as such, but to maintain the
Monroe doctrine and conserve our own i'm
munity.
An exhibition of one of our squadrons
to European nations, illustrating its ca
liabilities for long voyages and its capacity
for carrying quantities of the indispensable
coal i'm excess of the ships in any other
navy, may have deterrent effect for good
on nations that give evidence of some
anxiety 10 test the strength Of the Monroe
doctrine, which they rightly estimate to be
exclusively equal TO the strength of the

TRUE TO HER COUNTRY.


A pathetic incident took place last night
in the police station when a mother turned
her son over to the police as a deserter
from the United States army. The act of
the mother almost broke her heart, as evil
denced by the tears she shed She chung
TO her boy while the big door was opened
to receive him.
1t was such an unusual order to receive
by the police that Bicycle Policemen Hull
and Kiefer imagined they were out on
dead one' when they started from the
police station. They rode to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hancock. 2121 Arsenal avenue.

them with tears in her eyes that she had
a son in her home who had deserted from
the army. Kiefer, who had served many
years in the army, went into the house,
where he met young, smooth-faced boy.
who stood up in a pompous manner and
said: Its a good thing you guys came
after me tonight. intended leaving to-mor-
row, and on earth would ever see
me-" The manner in which the boy spoke
further worried his old mother. who fell on
her boys neck and wept bitterly. Hull and
Kiefer finally took the boy away TO the
station. The parents came down town on
car. The boy gave his name as Earl
Hancock and said he was twenty-one years
old. He said he enlisted in the Fourth
Cavalry and had yet eight months to serve
Mrs. Hancock before leaving her son for
the night, said this was the second time
he had deserted. She said he enlisted prior
to the Spanish-American war and served in
the Cuban campaign. After returning to
the United States he deserted At that
time his mother brought the attention OF
Major Macklin TO the boys presence in
this city. He was given short sentence
in Fort Leavenworth for deserving After
he was discharged he again enlisted in the
army: After serving two years Hancock

Saturday night. Mrs. Hancock said her
son walked into her home late at night
and the sight Of him at the time nearly

true that he had deserted. and he, without
any conjunction, told her it was and he
intended to leave the country. She said he
had a chum now in prison at Fort Leaven-
