brides-elect.
And the whole ship rose up, mani
tested its disapproval in glances that
were intended to burn, and made re-

The demure little brides-elect en-
barked on the Ocean steamship Talla-

rived here Sunday, and several of the
passengers declared that they would
never sail on the ship again unless they
were provided with binders or ear

The spoOning began before the YES

of the cabin passengers were praying
for the sinking of the ship so that they
might escape from the miseres of sea-
