The war on the word "obey" in
the marriage ceremony is about to
end in success. The word is to be
removed entirely, unless it is intro
duced into the other part of the cere-
mony andthe groom is made to prom
ise to obey. If that should be
done, he would not lose any of his
liberty worth talking about. He has
to obey anyhow, whether he promises
to do so or not.-Free Lance.
Five directors of the Odd Eel
lows Mutual Life Insurance Society
of Pennsylvania are charged by
Henry +. Walton, the receiver, with
wrecking that concern. He accuses
them of fraudulently transferring
100000 from the treasury of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company OF
Pennsylvania, and of illegally col.
lecting $4,000 in premiums on Odd
Fellows policies. The concern failed
last March. The receiver asks the
court to compel the five directors
and ten others to make good the
$4,000 alleged to have been fraud

THE PRIMARY UNPopULAE

Fredericksburg Journal)
That the Primary plan of nomi-
mating candidates for Office is doomed
is believed by more people than those
who openly criticised the scheme.
The Democratic "machine" had be-
gun to be decidedly unpopular. Ca
sino was tabooed and Finch came in
vogue. The average local politician
of Democratic faith who wishes to
try his wings on little higher flight
had realized that in the convention
he was sup against it." "No Irish
need apply" seems to describe the
situation with the local man register
ed from Cork. So the "machine,' ~
was denounced. Governor Monta-
que capitalized the opposition, delud-
ed enough people to win out, canvass
ed and organized while drawing pay
from the Commonwealth as Attorney
General and built a stronger ma
chine than ever. The people sus-
pected that the call to the primary
was the spiders invitation to the fly.
Since they have heard the humming g
of flies caught in the web down Rich
mond way they are shying off.
Mr.. Martin did what any other
man that had red blood in his veins
would have done in fighting the pri-
mary when it was being applied to
only the United States Senatorship
and to embarrass his candidacy by an
enormous assessment, such as would
have been necessary where only the
candidates for one office were voted
for. But he supported it when it
included nominations for the State
officers as we'll as Federal, and no
man has ever heard him kick against
any of the conditions which it i'm
posed. Hemet the assessment without
a murmur, and in no instance has he
denounced the operation of the plan.
Can as much be said for his distin-
guished competitor? Indeed, it is
we'll known he begun by kicking
against the assessment, never losing
an opportunity to refer to it, and ali
the attacks on the primary came
from him and his friends. This was
a remarkable way to exhibit ones
friendship for measure.-Index

WHALES BY BYTHEHUNDRED.

81 saw 500 whales at one time
ashore on beach in the Strait Of
Magellan" said Captain Heylet, of
the British navy. 'sSome wears ago
my ship lay off Peal Inlet, a small
creek mile and half long, Open
ing into Port Salvador, which in turn
opens into the South Atlantic by q
very narrow opening. One morning
a whirlwind appeared to be approach
ing over the water in the bay of San
Salvador, and soon this was made out
to be an enormous school of whales,
so thick that they seemed to be iost-
ling one another. Nothing was seen
but fins and tails and the water in
foam all around. This was in a
flowing tide, and they came into the
inlet describing sort of cycloidal
curve until the inshore part of the
squadron took on kelp reef. Then
a sudden pause seemed to seize them
all and the unfortunate animals went
up the inlet full speed, with the sea
boiling In upon them aud great
wave coming after them, and they
piled up in hundreds on the beach.
Then, as there was rising tide they
got off again, but only to charge the
opposite beach, and this continued
until the following tide and loss Of
strength left them high and dry all
round the dreary bay. Very few, old
or young, lived more than a quarter
OF an hour after their final stranding.
Some died quietly, others beat the
sand and WAGER with their tails, dye
ing the water with their blood. BY
evening, after that tide had ebbed,
there were only five whales sfloat out
of the more than 800 that bad come
into the inlet so msjestically that
morning. Next day only three were
to be seen. They swan round for
while and then, as if disdaining to
live when all their companions were
dead, they made straight for the
beach, and in a few minutes had
passed out of existence. The whales
were from four to thirty feet long,
the four foot whales being just born"

1t has been generally observed that
of late years the contest with the in
sects that destroy fruits aud crops of
various sorts is becoming yearly
more urgent. The disappearance of
many varieties of small BIRDS is said
to be the cause of this. There are
many persons now living who recall
that In old times there was very lit.
tie trouble in gardens due to insects
The cabbage worm and many other
worms were unknown. Now it is a
fight from start to finish to raise
cabbage in this section. We have
never known season when garden
pests were more numerous and harm
ful than this season. The continued
wet weather has probably contrib
uted to this in no small degree

GRANDMA's WISH.

l wish that you could walk with me
The path of long ago,
And see the cabins on the hill,
Beside the maple row;
And hear the darkey songs afoat
From fields of snowy white,
And watch the busy spinning wheels,
Around the hearth at night.
l wish that you could climb with me
The marble steps that led
lotto the mansions open doors,
Where swiftthe moments sped;
You. too, would find welcome there,
Aud share the merry glee,
IL you could step across the years,
And climb that stsir with me.
Snch dinners as we used to spreai,
Upon the table wide
The rosst pigs and the dumplings rare,
Tue mufius pulled with pride
You never saw such rich desserts,
You never ate such bread,
We ne'e er seem 10 make the same
Since Nanny Jane is dead.
Tbere'd be the same old welcome warm
II you, my child, could go,
The mistress d an outstretched hand,
The servants curtsied low.
They too, would greet US gladly, child;
Aunt Meg would gaily sing
The while she hung the spotless clothes,
Beside the ma pie spring
You, child, are of the future days,
New fashi ns you shall see;
| can not lake you back so far,
To walk the past with me
The old tire lanes are thinning now,
The ivies round them grow;
And so l have to tread alone
The path Of long ago.
