Gave Their Friends a Surp rise


When the announcement was
made last Wednesday evening
that our popular young towns
man, Mr.. Geo. w. Williams, and
Miss Ida Corbett, one of the most
talented young lady teachers of
our graded school, were married
it was considered an April fool,
but such was not the case. Mr..
Williams took Miss Corbett out
for a drive in the afternoon and
on their return stopped at the
Baptist parsonage where they
were united in marriage by Rev.
DR.. j. H. Boldrldge. After the
ceremony they drove to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Williams parents
where they were awaited, and re-
ceived with hearty congratula-
tions.
Mr.. Williams is the head of the
Wllliams-Hughes Co., one of
Laccaster's largest mercantile
establishments. He is a high,
toned, exemplary young man,
very popular, and of fine business
qualifications. His bride IS a
most estimable young lady, amia-
bile, talented and highly accom-
plished. Many friends will unite
with The Ledger in extending
hearty congratulations and the
wish that their lives may ever be
as happy and bright as their future
seems propitious.

The executive committee Of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition COM
pany, of st. Louis, has authorized the
granting of a concession to E. M.

hotel ever known in the world. Its
minimum size will be at least twice

American exposition in Buffalo. It
will have at least 1000 separate Sleep
ing rooms, with minimum accommo-
dations for over 5000 guests. 1t will
be almost one-flfth of a mile long and

The formal signing of the contract for
this mammoth concession awaits q
meeting to be held at st. Louis in few
days between Mr.. Statler and the expo
sftion officials. Mr. Statler went to St.
Louis from Buffalo recently at the re-
quest Of the exposition authorities, and
at that time all the preliminary details
to be embodied in the contract were dis
cussed and agreed upon. Then the mat
ter went to the executive committee.
which now has acted favorably on it.

An Amused Editor.

Bakers Local union No. 10 Of Al
bany has undertaken the somewhat
difficult task Of abolishing night work
in the bake shops Of the city, That it
contemplates a strike as the means Of
attaining the desired end Is q matter
Of course, but what is most unusual If
not entirely unprecedented, says the
New York Times, is the fact that be-
fore taking action it has explicitly rec
ognized that there is third party in
interest-to wit, the dear, patient pub
lie. This the union has done by issu-
ing formal notice Of it's intention ad-
dressed to said public and devoted for
the most part to the presentation of
reasons why, from the public's point of
view. it would be a good thing If the
bakers were allowed to work by day
and sleep by night like most other peo-
pie. 1.-THE old accustomed way of pro-
ducing hot breadstufrs for breakfast"
this remarkable address begins. ''sci-
ence has taught us to be deep rooted
evil and a producer of dyspepsia and
indigestion to the public as we'll as to
our members. Dyspepsia as well as
indigestion is so per cent greater in the
United States than in any of the other
civilized countries in the world, brought
mostly by the use of hot breadstun.
We therefore have right to feel con-
fldent of the moral support and sympa-
thy Of the public to make this impor-
tant movement a success even at the
cost of little inconvenience of but a
short dura ton"
Further on in their address the Al
bany bakers tell how, in their opinion,
night work hurts themselves and their
families, but they do this, nominally at
least, as a second thought. 1t is more
than refreshing: it is beautiful and
touching to such an extent that we
heartily wish the bakers may succeed

4 C1ergyman's Sound Advice to the
y. Men Who Labor. =.
In the course of q sermon recently
delivered Rev. Charles Bayard Mitch
ell of the First Methodist church of
Cleveland said: -, 49, - - r. H.
In view of the fact that all are la :
borers and that there is dignity in all
honest toll, think not meanly of your
work. All honest toll is manly. Thank
God, our American ideal of a gentle
man includes the toiler and excludes
the tramp. The European ideal ex-
cludes the toiler and includes the
tramp, or the man who will not work.
Our modern civilization is the result Of
the toll of the man who works. He
felled our forests. tills our farms.
works our mines, builds our vast struc-
lures, runs our railroads and builds
our steamships. And the mechanics
past is as full Of achievement as the
present. The very pyramids are his
monuments.
I call on you men to honor your own
special trade. Do not apologize for 1t.
When / was printers ,devip / was
proud Of the ink on my cheek. Elihu
Burritt always declared himself
blacksmith. though he was one Of the
greatest scholars of his age. Honor
your own trade by showing that q
manly life can be lived in it's pursuit.
Lend your influence to exalt the digni-
V Of your calling. To this end ally
yourself with your fellow tradesmen.
Organize your fellows for self improve
ment and for the betterment Of the
class Of apprentices admitted to your
trade. Organize for self protection. II
you do not hang together you will hang
separately. Labor has the same right
to organize that capital has. If you are
not organized you will not be treated
like men, but like slaves. Every pro-
lection that labor has secured, every
accession which has been secured to
labor, everything done to increase it's
wage and Its conditions In shop or
home. has been brought about through
the organized effort Of laboring men.
The very men who refuse to ally them
selves in organization with their fel-
low workers are also participants in
the advantages which have resulted
from the efforts of those with whom
they refuse to unite.
