est was the wedding, Wednesday even

ter. Sophie G. IIapham. was unit

Of the Union Congregational church
of South Bristol. Me, a beautiful and
impressive ring service being used.
From the bride to the last bit of
floral decoration all was simple, sweet
and altogether charming. Representa-
tives of the two families with a few
friends were the only witnesses.
Following the ceremony came time
for good wishes and refreshments be-
fore Mr.. and Mrs. Slower left on the
o'clock train for a brief wedding
trip.
Many valuable gifts give slight in
dication of the regard with which both
Mr. and Mrs. Slower are held
The bride is a graduate of the Maine
wesleyan seminary and Woman'S COL
lege, at kent's Hill, where her rare
musical ability was also developed.
Since coming to Oakland she has en-
deared herself TO many. not only by
her sweet voice and fine mind but by
the winning personality as well. She
is a valued member Of the Tuesday
Club and chairman of the school board
and her services for both Methodist
and Baptist churches have been many
and varied.
Oakland feels that 1t Is giving much

for some years successful teacher
and later as successful pastor In this

Gay, tho most gratifying expert
ence which they have enjoyed since
the organization Of the lodge in Wa

ture of the whole day was the slight
rain which fell just before the time to
start. 1t Is due to this fact that the
Waterville Lodge was represented by
but so members. There We're en-
thusiastic participants from other
cities Of the State, but not In the num-
bers which were expected.
A feeling of cordiality and welcome
was manifest on the parts of those
who greeted the arrivals in the morn
ing, and the summer visitors as well
as the management Of the Sir Charles

with enthusiasm. The Watervile con-
tingent left the city on the regular
morning train at 8.51 A NJ. and re-
turned on the SIS.

About the Bridge.

The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the city government to in
vestigate the drawer of the Gardiner
Randolph bridge, said to be in a dan
gerous condition, have attended to the
matter and the report of this commit
tee will probably be one Of the chief
items presented to the city fathers,
Monday evening.
Alderman Wing, who is chairman of
the committee on highways. bridges
and sidewalks, told Mayor Knight that
while the drawer is not likely to be-
come dangerous, perhaps for year or
two, is III a bad condition. The mayor
said that since the replacing Of the
replacing of the drawer is but a matter
of time. and short time at that, in
his opinion it seems policy for the city
to have the matter done as soon as
possible to avoid the useless delay
which might result in a damage suit
against the city.
In the report of the committee it is
likely that the condition of the drawer
Will be set forth without recommended

bly, vote to have new one put in
place, this winter.

Tale of Iona ADO.

Prof and Mrs. John F. Sucking, who
have been visiting in Maine, left on the
boat, Tuesday afternoon, for their
home in Boston. Prof. Sucking was
principal of the grammar school here.
about 20 years ago, when the school
was held in the High school building,
and connected with his early expert
ence in this position, is a tale that re-
sembles the stories which are often
told by those who remember when
teaching was an occupation requiring
as much muscle as brains. 1t seems
that when Prof. Sucking applied for
the position it had been amply demon
strated that the place was too strenu-
Gus for women to hold. The new
applicant came fresh from work on
the logs, and his physical powers
pleased the members of the school
board so greatly that he was hired at
once. Prof. Sucking afterward show
ed that he had brains as well as
strength.
Or the first day of school. the "Ter-
ror' started to make trouble for the
teacher at recess. He succeeded to
his sorrow. The new principal seized
the boy, and what followed was Of the
nature of a cyclone. When the
struggle ended. there were three seats
torn from their fastenings, and the
boy had been transferred from the
back of the room to a front seat and
considerable of his hair was missing. In
the school, the simple life prevailed
thereafter.
Prof. Sucking is now master of one
Of the Boston grammar schools, where
he teaches according to the gentler me-
thods now in vogue He is a graduate
Of the Gorham Normal school.
