Very noticeable among those absent
from the Thaw- Yarmouth wedding last
night were Mr.. Benjamin Thaw, his
wife and family. That this was indeed
a social calamity to the young bride
and bridegroom is a fact of much sig
nificance. Mr.. Benjamin Thaw, the
oldest son and head of the family both
socially and financially since his
fathers death, evidently could not
c~ountenance the wedding by his pres
ence nor that of his family. 1t has
been understood from the beginning
that Mr.. Thaw was opposed to the al
lance on the ground that the earl was
not a fit sutton for his sisters hand.
Mr.. Thaw when interviewed about
the marriage has made but n reply

father and mother are pleasant and his
sister lovely offer sufficient reason for
thinking the bridegroom a young man
who will prove a desirable husband.
1t is only just to our country to say
that fine American families are not

thing. Americans need not dislike the

unable to keep pace with the advance
in cotton, which is greatly disturbing
trade. The buyers were largely specula-

there were fair trade actions for China

America is restricted for the present, as
exporters and merchants claim spinners
