The marriage Of Mr.. Howard It.
Smith and Miss Jessie Franklin which
occurred last evening at the home OF
the BRIDES parents in this city was a
very pleasant affair. Quitea number
of friends and relatives were present
and the event was celebrated with a
wedding feast, after which the bride
and groom left on the night train for
an extended visit in Colorado. Upon
their return they will begin house
keeping in their home in the west

AT one Of the leading hotels this
morning, the 18th day Of the month a
travelling man arose bright and early
expecting to do big days business.
AS he struck the floor he stepped on
a tack. and in his hurry to dress he
tore his shirt and lost his collar button
while attempting to shave he cut an
ugly cash in his chin When he
learned from the landlord that he had
slept in room 13, he threw down his
grips and declared business off for
the day.

CooGRsHALL Is making for politeness and

Senator BRACKET, for admitting in the

Tributes to New York

Governor FOLK drew most attractive

banquet Of her transplanted sons Tues

State as prosperous happy, the abode
Of virtue and high civic patriotism,
the "fairest Of the Federal sisterhood,

from the delighted ex-Missourians.

State excite immoderate approval for
the moment. The present homo Of the
diners is forgotten. Perhaps there Is a
moment when they really believe that
no true happiness can be found outside
the bounds Of the State of their birth,
But twenty-four hours later these same
diners have settled down 70 the joy Of
living in New York, and for another
year tho home State is pretty thoroughly
forgotten. Whatever attractions she
offers are insufficient to lure her sons
back once they have learned what it is
to be a part Of New York. In conversa-
ton andtin theory they may denounce
the State and city of their adoption.
They are likely to say harsh things about
tho metropolitan public manners. The
municipal and State governments arc
sure TO catch it for 'ineficency, cor
uption' and tho like. New York is
not home, they say, with visibly swelling
chests. Were from Missouri, or Del

The return OF FELIX WEINGARTNRR 10
this cityneNt winter now seems assured,
and there is every cause for New York
music lovers to be grateful to the persons
who made this possible by their subscrip-
tions Of money. Mr.. WRINGARTNER is
coming here for only a short stay, and in
that particular there is Of course less
cause for satisfaction than il he contem-
plated a long sojourn. But it is something
to have one Of the worlds famous con-
ductors for even a few weeks. The Phil
harmonic by it's successful policy Of i'm =
porting the noted conductors Of Europe
has emphasized the musical needs Of
New York.
Berlin has RICHARD STRAUSS among
others, and FELIX WEINoABTNER, who
conducts concerts there and In Munich.
FELIX MoTTL is also in Munich, and
Leipzig has ARTHUR NIKIsCH. Vienna
has GUSTAV MAILER, who like ARTHUR
NIKIsCH and FELIX MoTTL, ia an active
operatio conductor in addition TO lead

Compare, for instance, the musical aotiv-
ity Of New York with that OF such a city

sesses the services Of the great NIKIsCH,
which for some curious reason New York
cannot afford
In the presence Of Mr.. WEINGARTNER,
who Is 10 conduct concerts here for sew
eral weeks next winter, the city is one
step nearer the possession of a conductor
Of great foreign reputation which he has
proved here TO be wholly deserved. Per-
haps in the future there will be long
term Of activity for him here, and after
a while some one Of these conductors
may settle here permanently so as to
divide his time between concerts and
our opera house where a great leader is
also sadly needed. The coming Of Mr..
WEINoARTNEB, although II is only for a
brief time, may lead 10 all these happy
results.

The report was presented at the meeting
Yesterday afternoon, and was accepted "a

prudential committee and the executive
officers. IL is stated, however, that inasmuoh
as the protesting ministers and few cor
porate members have Requested delay, the
prudential committee will hold final action
In Gbeyanoe for two weeks.
A copy Of the report has been sent 10 the
Rev. Daniel Evans Of Cambridge, chair
man Of the committee, who, II IL under
stood, Is far from satisfied with the outcome
Of It's protest and will proceed tomorrow
to draft an even more urgent protest against
the retention Of the gift. In It's report the
committee says:
For almost a century the hoard has
received gifts from every quarter n Amer
lea Christian and non-Chhstian alike.
Into our treasury have also come offerings
from Mohammedans, Parsees, Hindus,
Buddhists, Shintoists and African savsges,
In receiving gifts from these varied sources
the board has in no degree and In no way
passed judgment on the business, religion,
character or life Of the donors.
Elm this policy We have followed the
universal custom Of the past, for the Church
In all ages has received upon it's affairs
the gifts OF all who were moved 10 lay
them thereon. The same principle has
been followed, not only by philanthropic
and educational institutions, but by other
missionary boards.
your committee sees no reason why we
should have departed from the custom Of
the board, one which has been universal in
the world, and made our committee pracu-
cally a tribunal 10 decide whether gifts are
to be received
1T would be manifestly TN Just and
unthinkable 10 reject gifts without thor

short 81 brutal. Attention was called
in public and formal speech to personal
peculiarities Of which polite man would
have made no mention. Thus one elo-

through the courtesy OF Fire Commissioner
Hayes was allowed TO serve as a fireman
for two weeks with Engine Company 9.
He also went through the school Of in
struotion for fremen on probation for the
purpose Of learning the New York methods.
Chief Croker spoke in high terms Of the
efficiency Of the Cuban fremen. The
Chief says that he and Mr.. Loughman
have had delightful time. The municipal
authorities in every town visited by Chief
Croker received him officially.
