the Intention of selling the small group
or islands Off the coast of Newfound-
land known as st. Pierre and AIiqueion.
Our Paris correspondent was able to
send us the assurance that the report
was absolutely devoid OF Foundation.
The islands have n certain material
value for France. But from the purely
commercial point OF view their value to
our neighbors cannot be very great.
Their total area Is only ninety-three
square miles. and according to the last
census the population was only 6.352. of
whom only 400 are permanent resi-.
dents, the balance being made ND OF a
floating population OF officials, gen.
darmes and fishermen. Practically no
vegetation exists on the barren, rocky

PREPARATION. For chr,.

The Lenten season In the home means
simply the spiritual preparation Tor
Christ to visit the home. When Mar
tin Farquhar Upper, the famous Eng
lish poet. came to visit US In Brooklyn
we gave to him the very best roorl In
the house. We gathered together the
most famous literary men of the city
TO meet him. At that party Horace
Greeley came, and William Cullen
Bryant came and read his "Thanato top
SIS" and George William Curtis came.
and think John G.. Whittier came. 1
well remember my mother giving TO
me Tupper's popular book, "Proverbial
Philosophy" and saying: "Read that
book. You should know who Martin
Farquhar Upper is before he comes.
and then You can honor him as he
should be honore1." In like manner

OCTOBER WEDDINGS.
Marriage of Popular Young Couples at Sacred Heart Church.

A marriage marked by much splen- dor and attractiveness took place at the Sacred Heart church this morning at o'clock when two popular young persons, Charles Cooke of Cherry street and Miss Charlotte Egan of 1O2 Wolcott street were united in the bonds of wedlock by the Rev Father Shelley, who also celebrated the nup- tial mass which followed. As the wedding party entered the church Mendelssohn' wedding march was finely rendered by the organ1st, Mrs Lucfen Wolff. The altar was beauti- fully decorated with autumn leaves and cut flowers and along the sanctu- ary were banks of ferns and potted plants. John Saxe, florist, had charge of the work. Clinton Cooke, brother of the groom, was best man and Miss May McGrath was bridesmaid. The bride, who has been member of the Children of Mary for many years, was attired in beautiful gown of white albatross trimmed with silk. The bridesmaid wore pretty steel color dress. Both wore Gainsborough hats to match and carried bouquets of bri- dal roses. After the marriage wed- ding breakfast was held at the home of the brides parents MT and Mrs James Egan of Wolcott street. MT and Mrs Cooke, who were the recipi- ents of many beautiful and costly gifts, left on the 1:14 train for a honeymoon to New York. There were a number of guests from out of town.
