AN AFTER INCIDENT.
A Glare of Ice Causes Delay in De-
parture of Wedding Guests.

A Glare of Ice Causes Delay in De-
parture of Wedding Guests.
An incident not on the programme Of
the White-Rochfort wedding last even
ing occurred owing to the glare of ice
on the asphalt pavement in front of the
st. Johns Episcopal church at the cor
ner of Orange and Humphrey streets
and caused an unexpected delay Of
some fifteen minutes. Just as the bride
and groom the flower girl Catherine had
entered their carriage, No. 175. one Of
the horses in starting slipped on the
the harness, After several Intellectual
struggles to rise his mate was I'M
harnessed, the pole of the carriage talk
en- out, but the down horse was unable
to arise until a blanket was placed I'M
der his feet. Finally by happy after
thought the bridal party were transfer
red to another carriage in waiting in
the line down the street, Other guests
received their carriages in the middle
Of the street opposite the canopied en-
trance to the church, the procession
taking the route down Humphrey street
to State and Edwards streets in order
to avoid the icy surface of the Orange
street pavement.
During the interval Of waiting the
exit of the remainder Of the bridal par
ty and the large number of guests was
delayed. During this waiting period the
organst Charles r. Fowler continued
the repetition of the wedding march,
wondering at the delay, Barring this
little incident the wedding was one of
the prettiest and most enjoyable in all
respects that has taken place in this
civ this season

QUEER SEALING.

American fisherman. are noted the
world around four their daring and the
whaling and swording off the United
States States have furnished material
for many thrilling articles. But there is
a form of fishing - the Pacific ocean,
if it can be called fishing-that is no
less daring than the forms of fishing
mentioned, and more remarkable be-
cause it is unique 1t is the fishing"
for sea lions off the many islands that
lie near the California coast of Santa
Barbara county. The animals are
plentiful there, and, while they have no
commercial value as food or oil pro-
ducers, they are always salable to
menageries and parks. OF course. to be
of use they must be taken alive and
uninjured. This is what makes the
work of taking them perilous and ex-
citing. It is practically impossible to
capture them while they lie on the
shore, for they are shy and cunning
that they select only such and lodges as
are not approachable by man except
from the sea. And of course the mo-
ment boat comes in sight the big
animals slide into the water and swim
away.
So the only way to capture them is to
catch them while they are in the water.
And as they are so quick and haunt
such dangerous parts of the coast, it is
not possible to hunt them with large
vessels, and the fishermen" must risk
themselves in small open boats. They
try to row in swiftly enough to reach
the water near shore at about the same
moment that the sea lions are sliding
into it to swim off. If the boats succeed
in getting among them, the men in the
bows try to throw lasso around their
necks before they dive. This in itself
|; is not easy. And added to it is the fact
that the sea lions are fierce and brave
animals that will fight to the end.
Therefore, after one is lassoed he bat
ties savagely, and many boat has
been overturned and smashed, while
men are drowned.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

INDEPENDENT WORKMEN.
League TO be Organized in the Near
Futurc-l;s Obj cts Outlined.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 31.-Rev. E. NJ.
Fairchild, of Albany, who has been
called into consultation by the work
men Interested in the formation of a
national league of independent work
men of America, said tonight:
THE league will be organized in the
near future. 1t Is proposed to put a
national organizer in the field and to
organize local branches all over the
country, and demand that employers
run their shops as open shops in
which union and league men can have
an equal and fair chance for employ
ment.
THE league will be strictly labor
ing mans affair. but 1t will be incor-
porated, so as to command the con-
fidence of employers and the general
public, and be in a position to defend
the rights of it's members through the
courts. Only American citizens will be
eligible to membership.
1.-THE specific objects for which the
independent workmen propose to Or
ganize are as follows:
Ito protect Independent workmen
in their independence.
2-To sustain high wages by skllful,
energetic cooperation with our en-
ployers.
$40 establish reasonable hours Of
labor according to the exigencies of the
trades.
ITO promote intelligent understand
ing Of our work.
5-To furnish favorable conditions for
training apprentices in order that our
boys may become successful workmen.
ITO maintain sanitary conditions or
employment by means of state laws
and inspectors.
ITO compel officers Of the govern
ment to enforce the laws.
S-To compel labor unions to observe
the laws.
9-To protect members against unjust
treatment from employmers by due
of law.
1O-To provide labor bureau for it's
members"
