OF BLISS
Hints on How to Observe the
Wedding Anniversary.
Whether the Fifth or Fiftieth,
the Case is Considered.

We seemed for a long time to pay
little heed to wedding anniversaries,
but of late years it has become more
usual to celebrate the silver wedding
and the golden wedding-;llas! but sell
dom reached. There are, however,
many other stages in Il married life
which may be taken notice of by the
more youthful BRIDE says the Catholic
Columbian.
After five years Of welded bliss
comes what is known as the wooden
wedding" and to this it is usual to
invite the groomsmen, bridesmaids,
and a few intimate friends. Every
thing is chosen to make the room look
as rustic as possible. and green is the
prevailing tone. Ferns, palms and
other messy plants may be set in rus
tic stands, and wild flowers are espe-
cially suited for such a function as
this. Toy wooden buckets take the
place of ordinary flower glasses, and
these may be tastefully decorated
The invitations should be written on
notepaper resembling birch bark, and
if it be dinner the name cards and
menus may be of real birch bark
These should bear the date of the mar
rage and the present date in dark
green ink. On this occasion the bride
should wear her wedding dress, and
the more old-fashioned it is the better.
On the tenth anniversary, or "tin''
wedding, dinner is, perhaps, the sim
plest form of entertainment. On this
occasion the flowers may be set in the
receptaclcs. appropriately decorated.
The little teapot stands Of twisted
wire. tastefully finished with sprays
of flowers and greenery, make pretty
bonbon dishes, and the menu cards
can be contrived from cardboard COW
cred with tinfoil.
The crystal wedding at fifteen
years. may be celebrated by a lunch
party or, if it be summer, by an al
fresco'' afternoon tea. The flowers
ought to Ike brilliant in coloring, to
form contrast to the crystal, dark
red roses and syringa being very effec-
tive. The damask cloth may be dis
pensed with. and lunch served on the
mahogany table, which will throw up
the cut crystal and the flowers. Tea
should he served n In Russo. in thin
glasses. with lemon instead of cream.
On the twentieth anniversary. or
linen wedding. many dainty gifts
may be fashioned for the matron by
her friends. Nimble fingers can orna-
ment with needle or brush. and tea
cloths. doilies. and bedspreads afford
excellent scope for the display of in
genuity and skill. Afternoon tea is
the function par excellence for this
occasion, and gives every facility for

WAR TIME PRIEST
ev.Father Walter, Famous For
ty Years Ago, and Who So
Strongly and Firmly Believed In
Innocence Of Mrs. Surratt.

The rectory of st. Patrick's church,
Washington, D. c., the demolition of
which has just been completed, was
one Of Washington's landmarks, not
by reason Of age, but because the
strong personality of Father Walter,
who built it, and whose home it was
for many years. made for it a place in
the city's history, says the Kansas
City Catholic Register.
In the stormy day that Immediately
followed the close of the civil war this
house was the cynosure of countless
eyes. The stern and fiery, yet tender
and devoted, priest was still on the
sunny side of middle life. A native of
Baltimore, he had never paraded, yet
never made any secret, of his SYM
pathy with the south. AS pastor, and
later as the last spiritual adviser of
Mrs. Surrltt. he was firmly convinced
of her innocence, and made every pos
sible effort to save her life. When the
last terrible hour drew near he receiv-
ed from the military authorities sug-
gcstiOn that it would be better for him
not to accompany his unfortunate
parishioner to the scaffold. His reply,
which was characteristic, was as fol-
lows:
TELL the secretary Of war that l
fear neither man or devil. fear God
alone, and will defend, with my life,
the character of the least and lowliest
of my parishioners.'
The heroic priest had heard Mrs.
Surratt's last confession early in the
morning, and at the hour Of execution
he had no duty to perform except to
sustain her by his presence. The
lower limbs of the condemned We're
bound by soldiers designated for that
duty. This service, if Mrs. Surratt
had been neglected. Father Walter
had promised to perform for her,
though he be shot in the act When
the execution was over Father Walter
sought his bed. and for week after
wards was prostracted by illness.
Father Walter devoutly believed
that his sick calls were not all con-
veyed by human agency, and that the
old-fasllioned bell of the rectOry, OH
ut least Il few occasions had been rung
by slladowy hands. Among his favor
lite recOllections was the visit to him
near midnight fully quarter of a
century ago of two little boys. who
having rung the bell. were waiting on
the stoop when Father Walter opened
the door. They seemed to be about 8
and 10 years of age. They requested
him to administer to their dying father
the last rites of the church. The ad-
dress they gave was in Il poor and re-
mote portion of the city. but the good
priest lost no time in seeking it. 1t
was Il forlorn old building. and in one
Of it's rooms. destitute of even the
barest comforts. lie found the dying
man. Father Walter prepared the I'M
fortunate for death. and as there was
no other human being in sight or hear
ing. he said: "AIy son. where are
your little ones?'
81 have no family" said the dying
man.
But" replied Father Walton, ''tlle
children came for me and they We're

II once had two little boys" said
the departing, "but they died many

is satisfactory that the trick of endeav-

VERY BLIND JUSTICE.

There appears to be something
very rotten in the interior de-.
partment when reputa able citizens
are III .aced to travel half way
across the continent and spend
much time and money to no pur-
pose whatever simply because of
technical errors for which the
department. is itself wholly to
blame.
Itappears that scores of Mime
sotans have taken stone and tim
Der claims in Oregon and Wash
ington recently, only to discover
some days after having returned
from the west that they have
spent time and money for moth
ing. Several cases have occurred
in which the final proofs have
been rejected because afidaVits.
for filing were not made in the
land districts in which the claims
lay, although such filing was
made on the advice of the land
Office officials in Oregon and
Washington.
The position taken by the de-
partment in insisting so severely
upon trihing technicalities is
working a very great injustice to
many people in Minnesota.

in favor OF a more strict enforcement
of them. AS IL is now the unsurveyed
lands are being rapidly taken up by
settlers under the desert land laws and
in the great majority of cases the en-
tries are not bona fide desert en-
tries. Land is taken up where II is
impossible to get any irrigation at all,
yet it is done under the desert land
laws. which say that a desert entry
must be on land that is incapable Of
raising any crops without irrigation.
On these lands good crops are being
| raised without water. AS the public
lands get scarcer il is seen that a
greater striclness in Interpretation oil
the laws must be exercised for the
object is to get bona fide settlers in
the arid states and this can only be
done by a strict enforcement oil the
land laws.
The timber and stone act is also
under investigation and it seems to
be the general impression that II
would be advisable to repeal this act
! altogether and have the government
merely sell stumpage; that Is, the
/ right 10 cut The timber on government
. %NA
land and then i'm years to come there
would be- another growth of timber.
As il is now IN entry is made under
Tho Timber and Stone act and when
thc timber Is cut the government Is
out lust 50 much, both land and tim
bpr also.
IN regard to the settling on UNI
surveyed lands it is said that in Cas-
cade county, in a certain area, there
were $500 acres taken up on unsur'
vcyed land as against 1900 acres on
surveyed land last year.
II is to remedy this condition OF
things that the committee was APP
pointed by President Roosevelt, who
is taking Il great interest in the public
land problem in the west. The ques,
tion of the government taking hold
of the reclamation of desert land
throughout the west will also be look
cd into.
