TWO COUPLES WE'D.
Rev. Peters Joins Four Expect
ant Ones Within a Few
Minutes.

Rev. L. E. Peters, found himself in
a rather embarrassing situation Satur-
day night but with his ready wit he
straightened matters out in a very
shortl order. While expecting to per-
form one marriage ceremony he found
that he had agreed to marry two
couples at one and the same time.
while that was something for which
no precedent had ever been establish
ed, ne made the best of the situation
and made four hearts beat as two by
a clever display Of diplomacy. Early
in the day he was approached by~a
Young man who stated that he would
like to have Rev. Peters marry him at
Z O'Clock in the evening. Arrange
ments were made to that effect and
later in the day he was approached
again by a young man who said that
he wanted to make arrangements for
a marriage at z O'Clock in the evening.
Thinking that the young man was a
representative of the first young man.
Rev. Peters stated that it would afford
him the greatest pleasure to perform
the ceremony. What was his surprise
at the appointed hour to find that
when he told the couple to be married

preached. Then it was found that
both couples had expected the cere-
mony to be performed at Z O'Clock.
Rev. Peters was equal to the occasion
and designating the couples by mum
Der he had joined each couple in mar
riage in fifteen minutes. One couple
was composed of Mr. George r. Jones
and Miss Susan Z. Hardesy, and the
other Mr.. Nathaniel Wicker and Miss

AT ST. MARY'S CHURCH
Feast of ST. Joseph, Patron OF
Universal Church, Is
SolemniZed

The sombre habiliments of the lenten
season were changed in honor of the
Feast Day of st. Joseph. Rev. Father
Becker, @. IS. r., was the celebrant
of the High Mass.
The sermon on st. Joseph, the Just
Man, so styled in the Gospel of the
day. was preached by the Rev. Law
renee Kissner. g. SIS. r., of Leicester,
Md. Tue same Father gave the sec
ond of the Sunday evening series of
discourses on the laws of the church.
He took up the subject of fasting and
abstinence showing its reRsonableness
from natural point of view, exempli-
flying how very many persons practice
fasting without knowing it. The
college professor, who finds that GER
tain food or drink, clouds his intel
lectual faculties so as TO render him
unfit for his work, is very careful TO
abstain from that particular food, and
so practices fasting.
The sick man, forbidden by his ply
sician 10 partake of his regular meals,
also practices fasting. Beginning at
the time of the establishment of the
Church by the Apostles, he outlined
the history of this law of fasting for
forty days, in honor OF the fasting of
our Lord. and also of his Passion and
death. in preparation for the celebra-
tion of Easter, the feast Of His resur-
rection. He traced it in all Is modi-
hcations down to our own day, read
ing the regulations for lent promul-
gated by Cardinal Gibbons, by which
Catholics of this diocese are bound.
He distinctly emphasized that part of
the law regarding abstension from
worldly amusements and the giving of
aims. the modification of the eyes
and tongue and more earnest prayer.
Father Kissnef was listened to by a
very large congregation, and although
his discourse was lengthy, their inter
est seemed never TO abate. The ser
vices were closed, as usual, with the
Benediction Of the Most Blessed Sac
rament.

AT MILLERsvILLE.
Items Of Interest From The
Little Village.

Sunday was quite beautiful spring
like day in the little vile. Although
the past week has been one of almost
continued sunshine, the roads are
still in q very bad condition, the con-
gregations at the churches are improv
ing. the matter of numbers who are
gradually taking on quite spring like
appearance.
Paul Huber, @. SIS. r., officiated land
preached fine sermon on st. Joseph,
the Just Man of the Gospel. who be-
sides being the patron of the Universal
Church is the patron of the little
church on the hill. The altar with its
many lights, and the flower decked
shrine gave q real feast-d day color TO
the ceremonies.
Ouite a number of fine looking boys
from eight to fifteen years of age were
a noticeable feature in the congrega
tiou. and more TO be admired was
their devout, reverent bearing. They
are children Of the Polish settlement
in the neighboIhood of Benfield. Mr..
Roosevelt should visit that commu
nity. Evidently 'race-suicide' does
not appeal to these people, and as TO
the Simple life'' they are surely liy-
ing it.

her attack of illness and is arovnd

With the Czar that his son S life is
threatened. His majesty fears that
the loss of his son, whom he so long
vainly expected, would cause the out
break of a revolution in every corner
of his empire, even among conserva-
tives, and for this reason everyone in
any way connected with the imperial
family is surrounded by hosts OF
