CARR-DEACON.
Pretty Wedding at St. Boniface Church
 Yesterday.

Pretty Wedding at St. Boniface Church Yesterday.
 A very pretty wedding was solemniz- ed at St. Boniface R. c. church at o'clock yesterday morning, the con- tracting parties being Miss Lillian I. Carr and William R. Deacon. The cer- emony was performed by the pastor, Rev. Father Schiele, and was witnessed by large number of friends and rela- tives of the young couple. The bride looked very charming and was attended by Miss Marie T. Deacon, sister of the groom, as bridesmaid, and the best man was John J. Sharkey.
 After the ceremony the bridal party proceeded to the home of the bride, 25 Winthrop avenue, where an elaborate wedding breakfast was served to the immediate relatives of both parties, among whom were MT. and Mrs. c. M. Allen, MT. and Mrs. M. Heberger, Will liam, James and John Carr. Mrs. A. Deacon. Mrs. c. M. Carr, Miss L. Dea- con and Miss Mamie Murphy.
 Both of the contracting parties are very well known in this city, the bride being a daughter of Mrs. and the late James Carr, and was for many years a valued employe of the Strouse, Adler company. The groom is in the employ of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company in the ca- pacity of plumber.
 The presents were many and of rich design, including silverware, furniture, bric-a-brac, etc. After the guests had enjoyed the elegant repast they repair ed to the Union station. where they gave the happy couple hearty send off as they left for Boston on the 12:o5 train to enjoy their honeymoon, visit ing relatives of the groom in that city. MT. and Mrs. Deacon are contemplating giving an lat home" to their many friends and acquaintances on their re- turn, after June 15, when they will start housekeeping at 13 Wooster place, this city, where the groom has furnished a nice home.

PAID FOR SETTLING STRIKE.
Samuel Parks, Business Agent of !;

Samuel Parks, Business Agent of a
 Union. Got 5000 Check.
 New York, June S.--District, Attorney Jerome announced to-day that he had in his possession @ check made out to the order of Samuel Parks, business agent of the Housesmiths' and Bridge mems union, for $20O0. He further announced that President Poison of the Hecla Iron Works had stated to him that the check was given to Parks to settle a strike in the iron works in May, 1902. Poison told MT. Jerome he had seen Parks several times while the Hecla strike was on andi finally, accord ing to Poison, he notified Parks that he would be willing to give the $2,000 if he would call off the strike, the check was given and the strike ended.
 It is now sad the building lockout will continue the first of next month no matter what action is taken by the United Union of Builders Trades as to the expulsion of material drivers. This is because the housesmiths and bridge men, on whom the whole action turns now, meet June 20, to elect four walk ing delegates to succeed the present board, one of whom is Samuel Parks. Opposition to MT. Parks has developed in the union, but he is standing his ground and will make a fight.

AND THE FOOD
 PROBLEM.

Electricity would appear to have something in common with the forces, of plant life and it is just possible that some day the worlds food supply will be furnished by it's means. Already we know that when intense discharges oc- cur in air nitric acid is produced which, when neutralized with soda, potash, or lime, furnishes the indispensable nitrate for plant life. At the present moment the Falls of Niagara are being utilized in this way. But apparently elec- tricity is capable of producing food sub stances in much more direct way than this. Given carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the simple association exist ing in carbonic acid gas and water, the current under certain conditions will bring about, according to recent re- searches, encouragement of the ele- ments until at length carbohydrates are obtained. It is stated that by merely passing a current of definite po- tential through soda water or water impregnated with carbonic acid gas a. series of products is formed culmina- ting in sugars. First of all in formed oxallc acid, then tartaric acid, next ci- trfc acid, until at five volts and three amperes grape sugar appears. If these things are true, no more wonderful or astonishing discovery could be imag- ined. Carbonic acid gas and water are abundant enough throughout the whole
 world and to convert these simple sub stances into complex foodstuffs, for the supply of which we have to look to far countries, by simply manipulating them with the electric current, surely promises to bring about one of the
 greatest revolutions in the history of the world.
 But we have to reckon with nitrogen, the essential element of the proteid or flesh-forming portion of all food. As it's Greek derivation implies proteid is a vi- tai constituent of all food. and 1t has been said without proteid we die" Is it possible, then, that proteid will even- tually be built up by electrical means in the same way as is carbohydrate? In such case plant life will no longer be indispensable to man. Though at present proteid cannot be constructed directly, yet the production of nitrate by electricity is source of stimulus to the synthesising process of the plant and therefore electricity comes again to our aid in the production of food. AS to the mineral salts of food, they again are essential; but, then, of course, chemistry has long since furnished us with material for their production. It seems clear that the chemist and physicist are unfolding natures ways with a rapidity which is startling con- sidering that what they have already achieved amounts to saying that given an abundant supply of chalk, air and water the food problem is solved. The ingredients of the formula are in truth plentiful enough, but what dismal world when plant life is no longer ne- cessary to the human race.-Lancet.

LEARNING. THINGS
e Are All in the Apprentice Class

We Are All In the Apprentice Class.
 When simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, H., says: "After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I received a shock four years ago that left me in such a condition that my life was despaired of. I could get no relief from doctors nor from the numberless heart and nerve medicines I tried be- cause didn't know that the coffee was daily putting me back more than the Drs. could put me ahead.
 "F'inally at the request of a friend I left off coffee and began the use of Postum and against my convictions I gradually improved in health until for the past or months I have been en- tirely free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble.
 "My troubles all came from the use of coffee which, I had drunk from child hood and yet they disappeared when quit coffee and took up the use of Pos- tum." Name, given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Many people marvel at the effects of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum but there is nothing marvellous about it ---only common sense.
 Coffee is destroyer-Postum is a re- builder. That's the reason.

in position to repay me they are glad to do it.''
 That is, the source is the rich, the in- telligent, the well-to-do, the captains of industry, the promoters of prosperity, the people that want in order to further their schemes of private gain, mono polies of opportunity secured by law as against the commonwealth-liter and so they pay boss to secure the votes to elect legislators that will legislate thus instead of for the true interest of the people: and the same process is repeated in every place that is ringridden and bossdriyen. We find striking confirmation of this analysis in new book by Professor Woodburn, professor of American history, and poli- tics at our State University. We quote:
 Critics of democracy have imputed it's, failures and blunders and mis- government in America, as seen especi- ally in large cities, to the ignorant and to the poor. and to the evils of an un- restricted suffrage. The indictment Is misplace Ignorance1and poverty are but the prey, not the source, of political corruption. Its source is found further up in the commercialism of the rich and powerful classes, among the re- spectable' and the 'well-to-do,' who look upon politics and the, laws only as a means of private gain. Usually in the rank and file of the common people we find the intelligence and patriotism that are the saving forces of the State. They will not fail to deliver their parties and party government from the control of the selfish and venal. To this rend the great need of American politics to-day is that young men of high ideals and resolute purposes for good government should devote them- selves to political activity, standing up stoutly and constantly for honest government, high ideals in politics, and that active participation in political life by which better government is brought to pass"
 We have need just now to remember these things. The same causes that produce rings and bosses' in other places produce them here.-Indianapoli News.
