OLD-WORLD ODDITIES.

been recognized in England. He is

The town of Thurso, Scotland,

John Gibson, 81 years old, still follows
his duties as superintendent Of some
fagstone quarries. Among the work
men he has seven sons, six sons-in-
law, 20 grandsons, four grandsons-in-
law and two great-grandsons. Forty
nine members of one family, all con-
nected with the same trade, employed
in the same works, and living in the
same district, is something decidedly
out of the common.
Baron Rothschild, head of the
French branch of the family, recently
received curious legacy. This was
the fortune of an ancient beggar
named Abraham Fidler, who died in a
garnet at Nice, and was found to pos
sess 100000 francs. He bequeathed
it to the other millionaire, on the plea
that money must seek money"
Baron Rothschild was not Of the opin-
ion, in this case at any rate, and he
proceeded to hunt up the lamented
Elders relations, three of whom
were found at Odessa and a fourth at
Brooklyn. The legatee divided the
million and a quarter among them.

TEAM FOR
SEhG|RT
Nearly All Officers and
But Few .Privates
Are Going.

The Hawaiian National Guard rifle
team to compete at Seagirt next month
will be something like one of the famed
armies of South America-ninety-n ine
officers and one private. From present
indications, the personnel will probably
be made up something like this: Col.
J. w. Jones, Col. Soper, Major Riley,
Major J. w. Pratt, Captain Sam John
son, Captain Coyne, Lieut.. Merle john
son, Lieut.. Thompson, Lieut.. Cum
Minis, Lieut.. Coster and Private Gou-
veia. However, it is understood that
Sergeant William c. Ellis, the bailiff
of Judge Lindsay's court, will be of Ne
number, but he will probably go as
scorer Or marker. The above are from
Honolulu. There are three to come from
Hawaii. The end of the try-out among
the Honolulu guardsmen takes place to-
day, for the team will have to be made
up on Monday in readiness to sail on
the naval transport Solace on or about
August 4.
The team will be in charge of Col
Jones, who has also been appointed
disbursing officer. Funds for the ex-
penses of the team will be placed at
his disposal in a national bank, and
he will be provided with a War De.
partment check book.
The. personnel of the team, compris-
ing SO many officers, will surprise
many, but to the guardsmen it is not
strange. The officers have more time
and opportunity at their disposal to go
to the rifle range for practice than the
privateS, and in this way have been
able to make better scores. Another
feature of the case is that the MAJ
jority of the nom commissioned officers
and the privates are not financially
fixed that they can leave thir employ
ment to be absent from the islands for
two months. The officers will receive
regular army officers pay while alb
sent.

The American People are not Decadent.

During the past decade the agents
of the republican national committee
have solicited and received vast do
nations from lawbreaking corpora
tions, and by SO doing dragged a
great party down to the level OF the
policeman, who puts his hand behind
his back and stands with open palm
until the palm is filled by the yolun-
tary contribution Of the keeper of a
low resort.
These practicesw entunwhipped so
long that many good men lost faith
in the people and feared for the
country's future; feared that the
mercialism had SO blunted the ma
tions honor that our ideals as peo.
pie we're becoming decadent. But
the skys are clearing and Presiden
Roosevelt is entitled to much credit
for the hopeful change. The feder
al government can no longer be re
lied upon to shield grafters and vii
lains in return for large campaign
contributions. Today law-breakinl
corporations are not alone exposed
but fiercely prosecuted. II it will
not take long for the American ma
ton to return to the lofty and tru
ideals Of the early years of the re
public.

ternoon, December 26, 1905, Mr.. E.
NJ. Carr and Miss Katherine Ellen
Cotter were united in marriage, Rev.
Father j. Curtin, of Brooklyn, offici-
ating. The bride was born on her
parents farm in Poweshiek county,
Iowa; graduated from the high school
at Searsboro; taught school in her
native county for three years; spent
several years as a student in the
State Normal school at Cedar Falls;
then came to Manchester and taught
for nearly four years in the public
schools Of this place, resigning her
position here early last spring to ac-
cept better position in the public
schools Of Grinnell, and be with her
mother whose home is now in that
city.
The bride is kind, intelligent
woman, who has made a success Of
everything she has undertaken. She
has many friends here in Manches-
ter who will rejoice at her return.
The groom has been one Of the pub.

years that, even il it were not indel

probably insist upon the return O

At the hour stated the bridal party
appeared and took their position in
the parlor under beautiful canopy
Of lace and green vines where they
took the solemn marriage vows.
The brides were beautifully at

They are kind, generous and lovable
young women whose loss will be
felt by the entire community. Mr..
Sangster is young man of good
morals, ambitious, manly and well
known in this community, having
grown to manhood here. About a
year ago he went to Condo where he
has since remained and has home
in readiness for his bride.
Mr.. Traver has been here only q
short time, coming here from Man
chester, Iowa, last spring, since
which time he has worked at the

engaged in teaching and Office work
and is a young man of good habits
and rare ability. He expects to
leave with his bride in week OF
ten days for his old home although
he may return later and become {

will prove to be the case.
