ALL ARE INVESTIGATED.

Some people appear toy think that
newspapers can be made available by
them in the way of carrying out their
plans in the shape of malicious mis-
chief or mean jokes on people and it
is we'll that they should learn their
mistake and, that the correspondents
of the paper, while willing to write
up weddings that have taken place,
in just as pleasing manner as possi-
bile, they are not willing to wrong
anyone by writing up or sending into
the office spurious articles in the way
of wedding notices, ETC., and that all
such will be investigated after being
received by mail before reported.
So you are only wasting paper and
your time by sending such notices If
untrue. The notice received bv us,
or rather an account of wedding of
a certain couple on David street at the
Polish church, wedding breakfast
and trip to Florida, was investigated,
found to be, as was thought, untrue
and done to torment q young lady
who said it was not the first or second
time such report had been sent to
an office and even published. 1t
appears s-that the Citizen has received
an unsigned notice of marriage
which it found to be untrue and did
not publish. The announcement sent
in to the News correspondent was
signed with the name of the brother
of the supposed groom, all of the
parties being residents of.the borough,
but it failed in It's mission.

DEFENDED FINANCIAL LEADERS.

President BucIxham Compares Them
to the Hero Jean Vatican.
BURLINGTON, VT, June 22.-Presi-
dent NJ. H. Buckham of the University
of Vermont in his baccalaureate SER
mon before the graduating class warm
ly defended the great leaders in the
financial and mercantile world. He
compared them TO Jean Vatican, the
hero of Hugo's "Les Miserables," "who
comes into a community in which idle
ness and wretchedness and discomfort
abound and by process which social
ism calls exploiting and of which a
fairer name is management, organiza-
ton, creates industry, thrift, comforts,
luxuries, in which the whole communi-
ty shares"
The captains of industry were the
Jean Valjeans of today. "Our own
country has them and knows them and
honors them. They are among the fin
est products of our Christian civiliZa-
ton. The press and the pulpit of our
country do a grievous wrong to social
thinking when they imply, as they so
often do, putting the exception for the
rule, that our great merchants, our
captains of industry, our great manu-
facturers and financiers, are, as a rule,
controlled by lust for gain. No SEN
sible man wants to go back to an
earlier civilization or dreams that we
can dispense with our capable men.
Only we must swear them to fidelity
to their high trusts. We must remind
them that they are trustees of certain
rare qualities which they hold for the
common good and not let them forget
what manner of men they are thereby
called to be-
President Buckham had taken for
his text Luke ill., %, And Jesus him
self when he began to teach us was
about thirty years of age" The ap-
parent desire of the speaker was to
impress upon his hearers the necessity
Of thorough preparation for the battle
of life. He asked them to reflect upon
the fact that the Saviour was thirty
years in preparation for three years of
public service and let it have some
bearing on the discipline of life.

rainy to watch the tiny rivulets grad
ually develope into rushing, swirling
streams and listen to their musical
rippIes and anon to their thunderous
roar as they rushed madly down,
down the different streets and into
the sewers basins, Friday night as
the rain came down in torrents.
On the corner of Stockton and First
streets there was a miniature pond
and on Broadway at all the corners OF
the streets were miniature rivers.
Finally the rain ceased up little and
after ten o'clock people, who had been
made prisoners, began to travel home
ward. Some dry jokes (notwithstand-
ing the moist atmosphere) were crack
ed, and it was said that we needed
this rain very much, there had been
such dry weather lately, it would do
lots of good.
Mr.. Bernard Roddy thought it a
good chance to get off one of his funny
stories. He said Two Irishmen were
talking, one said: "Pat, what does
amphibious mean?" Pat became very
serious when replying and told the
other one that the meaning of the word
was something everybody should
know and after quite preamble on
the necessity of people in good society,
etc., understanding it's meaning, he
told Mike that it meant bird or an
animal that couldn't walk on land
and if they went into the water they
would drown.

A PAPER FOR THE HOME
An Ideal Newspaper to Be Pub

Philadelphia, Feb. 5.-The North Amer

morning paper which shall aim to be the
ideal newspaper Of the home
st shall have no Sunday edition, and it
will be based on the highest ideals in
Journalism said Dr. T. r. Mutchler, who
on Monday announced the coming of the
new paper to the directors Of the Philadel-
phia Sabbath Association.
The particulars were to be announced
in a letter to be read before the sixty
third anniversary meeting Of the associa-
ton, to be held soon. After months of
labor, DIR. Mutchler said he was able to
make positive announcement that the pa
per was to become fact. ...--.... 3
ample financial backing has been OBJ
tanned, and the paper will be modern in
every respect. A newspaper does not re-
quire Sunday edition to be up to date"
said DIR. Mutchler. .... T.
He refused to announce when the first
edition of this new journel would appear,
but said all would be made public in the
near future. It is to be morning paper.
The plan has the support Of the Ministe-
rial Association, and of some 400 churches
Of Philadelphia. It will carry the best of
all news, including theater announce
ments, but will aim to Gull out only that
best suited to go into the home It is
thought the paper will represent the tab
loid form. but this has not been decided
A new plant will be established and the
best talent employed on the papers staff
The experiment will be watched with con-
siderable interest by newspaper men. If
1t proves a success in Philadelphia it is
the plan to establish similar properties in
other large cities. .

court on the ground that the latter was
ill. The Judge finally ordered the accused
man brought into court When he ap-
peared Young was in a pitiable condition.
His face was ashen white and his eyes
we're rolling. He collapsed when placed in
a chair, and then, Strengthening up, he
made an attempt to address the court,
saying: I'm not crazy now
He was silenced and conference was
held between court and counsel, when 1t
was decided that the prisoner should be
examined by two physicians. When re-
cess was called Young either could not or
would not talk and he had to be carried
from the courtroom
The physicians examined Young during
recess and reported to Justice Herrick in
his private room that the stress Of the
trial would not hurt the accused physical
ly Young was therefore carried into
court: Counsel for the prisoner asked the
first few talesmen if they had any preju-
dice against the Mormon church, but de-
sisted when District Attorney Jerome
said: There is nothing in this case about
Mormonism. We do not make any such
claim. -
