cUPrD,s FIELD DAY.
Three Couples Uhfted in MatrimOny-
 One Wedding Romantic.

TaIIadeEa, April 2S.--(Speeial.)-- Yesterday was a fruitful day in Gu pid's domains in Talladega, three mar riaEes being the result. The most in- teresting one by reason of it's roman tic turn, was that of Mark Miller and Miss Maude Adair, who eloped and were married in Atlanta, Cia., last night. MT. Miller is not yet of age and the bride Is scarcely IS, hence there was objections on both sides ow- ing to the extreme youthfulness of the couple. Yesterday was an opportune time for them to get married in spite of objections. The groom's parents, MT. and Mrs. F. B Miller, were-in Birmingham attending the State Sum day School Association and could not prevent, and "Barkis was willine," hence they hied themselves away to the red hills of Georgia and were made one.
 H. G. Camp, a prominent young school teacher of the County, and Miss Jennie Hardwick- were united in mar riage also yesterday afternoon. The bride is a very handsome young wo- man and belongs to one of the Coun- tvs best families. The groom is a nephew of ]. b. Camp, Judge of Pro- bate, 6 most worthy and brainy young man, who by his own efforts has ale ready made marked success in teach ing and for whom all who know him predict a brilliant career.
 W. D. Campbell of Fayetteville and Mss Jennie Sue Todd of Talladega surprised their friends by getting mar ried in Sylacauga. In fact they were married Wednesday, but it was not known until today. Mrs. Campbell is a daughter of Major and Mrs. A. H. Todd of this city, is a most excellent and accomplished young woman. The groom is a well known young man and a prosperous farmer and business man.
 This section was visited by terrific hail storm yesterday afternoon about o'clock. The hail stones were !n truth as large as hens eggs. Leaves were threshed from the trees. window glass broken and cattle became frightened and ran around in a mad frenzy.
 Miss Eliza Bishop, sister of the late Judge John w. Bishop. died Tn this city this morning at 5 o'clock. The funeral services will be conducted at the family residence tomorrow morn ing at 10 o'clock. Miss Bishop was an excellent Christian woman and her demise brings sorrow to many hearts.

Is FINDING THINGS.

Guthrie, Okla, is fixing to get into the swim in good shape. At least, the fluid in which things usually swim is going to send the town boom ing and make it famous. The town and the citizens decided that there was oil or gas, or both, or something equally as good down below the surface of the earth, as there is in so many other places, Most of that vast region of country is rich in minerals, prehistoric remains or something else worth going after and the town resolved to go If they failed to find anything else they might uncover a dinosaur. or some other brand of saur, and so have some- thing to talk about.
 Feeling this way the Guthrieites pro- ceeded to build a hole in the direction of China. At 300 feet they tapped "a heavy vein of salt water" That was pretty good, but not enough, and they pushed their augur deeper, and at 1900 feet they struck "a heavy vein of sul- phur water" Then they stopped, evil dently a little dubious of what they might tap next, for going deeper might have taken the lid off the real thing itself, of which sulphur Is popularly supposed to be an indication.
 - Now they've got an everflowing well of sulphur and salt water mixed. If they chose to do so the engineers might arrange pipes that would bring each brand of water up to itself and let people suit their own taste. For the present they are taking it mixed Many people prefer their drinks mixed It is all matter of taste. At any rate, the people of Guthrie are pre- pairing to put their find to good use by digging or preparing a great basin for an artificial lake, or sea as they term 1t. Then people can drink the fluid combination from the well, or they can bathe and fish in 1t. A street car line Is being built, parks, drives and public buildings will be provided and the visitors are expected to have a high old time. It is great, and Guthrie expects to gather fame and dollars out of it, and get up a reputa- tion as famous resort for invalids and pleasure seekers. May they not be disappointed.

SOME NICE QUESTIONS.

The,Tndianapolis star puts query of this kind: When bank clerk Is di- rectea by hfs superiors to make entries in the books which eventually turn out to be steps in the process of footing the bank. what is that clerks duty If he suspects, but is not sure, that all is not rightf If he refuses to make the entries he is certain to lose his posi- fion on the charge of insubordination, besides risking the possibility of being wrong in his suspicious and doing in justice to honest men. Should he run the same risk by telling the bank di- rectors of what he suspects. or should he solve the difiiculty by resigning his position? And if he obeys orders and continues to make the misleading en- tries can he be ciassed as stritly inno- centy
 This is not a problem to be solved by any of the ordinary processes of math- ematics. To begin with, an employe Is subject to the orders of his employer, and If he follows those orders strictly he cannot be. held responsible for the results. If a merchant. for example, should direct a clerk to order bill of goods and the goods should be found unsaIable and prove e dead loss, certainly the clerk would not be held accountable.
 That is one view of it. From a purely ethical standpoint if a clerk Is ordered to make fraudulent entries on the books of bank. we will say, if he obeys the order he is an alder and abetter in the crime. If he fails to expose the fraud which he perpetrates by order. strict justice would say that he is crfminally responsible, and that 1t is his duty to make report of the wrong that is being done. If he demonstrates or refuses to obey orders he will be fired at once. no doubt. but the sticklers for exact probity will say that mere personal reasons should not deter him from doing his duty.
 That is all very well. but there is another view. The clerk may not be absolutely sure that anything wrong is going on, or any fraud intended. If he believes 1t strongly enough to lodge information against his employer and it afterwards transpires that he was mistaken he not only runs the risk of losing his job, but has done grievous wrong to his employer.
 These reflections come up in connec- tion with the recently footed bank in Milwaukee. The cashier was employed by the president to make the false en- tries, but the directors of the institu- ton, as we understand. hold that he was not to blame for obeying orders, It is a nice question, at all events.

A NEW ONE PROMISED.

As one of the fncidentais in connec- ton with the approaching Fourth of July we are treated to the announce ment that a new noise-maker has been invented. It was not enough that we already have all sorts of guns from the toy pistol to the mighty cannon. It was not enough that we have fire- crackers of all sizes, all sounds and all grades of devilishness, besides di- yers and various other kinds of ipven- tions for splitting the ears, burning the faces and blowing of fingers of those who celebrate Independence Day.
 All this fails to satisfy those who think that one of Americas inalienable privileges consist ir raising an up- roar, regardless of consequences. Now we are told that "shotless gun" has come on the scene, of which a contem- porary says that mo powder or bull lets are used, the flash is small, the cost of the explosion Is cheap, while the noise Is terrific" This invention will fill the small boy with joy uncon- fined. The only drawback in the eyes of the aforesaid boy lies in the as- surance that the new instrument of torture, as the elders will consider 1t, is not dangerous. To the average boy this will be a serious objection. To celebrate the Fourth without the ne- cessity of going in bandages for time takes away all the fun. To be 'gashed with honorable scars" is greater glory to the small boy than to the old soldier. The one who can show most burns, bruises and dishgurements is the envy of his playmates who have nothing to show for their fun.
 But if this new invention of the evil one surpasses all else in the quality of noise-producer the boys will be meas urably content to overlook the element of danger. Nothing has yet been in- vented that can be too noisy for the youth of this country. The artillery of heaven, the roar of ocean, the thun- ders of the cataract, all joined with the booming of cannon and the rattle of musketry would only be sweet music in the ears of the boys if they could unite and control them. So. if this new gun does all that is claimed for it we may expect it to become popular at once. The old folks may go hang while the boys celebrate.

THEATRES, FuruRE.
Dramatic Critics Forecast of the
 Stage 4. ID. 227O.

GA. B. Blakey, in London Times.) We are all every ,Husily concerned just now with the immediate future of the play house. Apparently the most chic of spring fashions this year Is to be for repertory theatres. They will be 'in" Easter, or thereabout. along with Bishop" sleeves, evening gowns cut higher in the neck and the resuscitated pork pie" hat. When hats become big again. and the fem the dinner table, repertory theatres will. no doubt, give place to some thing else-a Punch and Judy" show with interpolated pallets, or adapta- tions from the Cochin Chinese drama. At present, however. we Sre for rep ertory theatres; everybody who is am- bilious of becoming somebody in the theatrical world has a scheme (and blank form of subscription) for one at your service just as every baby in Utopia. Limited" had fits lIlt4e prospectus" We are also promised French theatres in London, theatres consecrated to the cotninuos perform ance of Shakespeare and goodness knows what. It may. perhaps, be a relief to turn for a moment from these dazzling prospects to a more tranquil subject of meditation--a forecast. of the theatre at a distant date--say. in the youth of the twenty-fiTst cen- tury.
 In his new book. Sur La Pierre Blanche" NJ. Anatole France gives a fancy picture of this perioid, when Europe will have converted itself into one vast Socialist Federation. The theatre, he conjectures. will then have become almost exclusively musical. "An exact knowledge of reality" and "a life without violence" will have made the human race almost iudiffer- ent to, drama and tragedy. while the unification of classes and sex equality will have deprived comedy of nearly all its subject matter. Thus NJ. France arrives though by another route) at Walter Pater's conclusion that "all art inspires toward con- dition of music" We do not know whether Mir H. G. Wells's scientific forecasts of the future have ever dealt with the theatre. If not, we venture to suggest the subject to him. Mean- while, let us look at NJ. Frances con l lectures. Fanciful though they may seem in world where licensed play houses are almost as numerous as
 tavens and pictorial postcards shops,
 we believes there is a good deal to be
 said for them.
 l We may. to begin with, reckon con
 fidently on the disappearance of trag- edy. Tragedy was the art of primi-
 tive man, reflecting his ferocity, his pre- -occupation with physical suffer- ing (gouged eyes, flayed skins. mutt lated limbs, 'Luke's iron crown and Damiens's bed of steeD. his exag-
 gerated interest in death. his terror of the unknown and the unseen. It is
 true that Aristotle invented the de- | lightful apology of tragedy as ca-
 thartic, but we thing Rosseau was
 nearer the mark when he said peo-
 pie liked it as a means of seeing oth-
 CTS suffer without suffering themselves. We do not easily endure tragedy to- day. It survives only in few classsc

TO CURE FyRECKLEs.

Whenever any one, doctor or layman, announces that certain nostrum or freatment will cure any disease or de- Feet there are always those who will Try it. Especially is this true of wo- men who have any physical defect We say 1t with due deference to them. but nnything which mars their beauty Is a source of worry and mo proper man can blame them for 1t. One of their bete poirs is freckles. Some of them may infect indifference, but we are sure that no young woman fails to abhor this blot on fine complexion, and any remedy for it, especially an easy one, will find plenty of willing experiment. CTS.
 Well. the remedy has been found and It is not only easy. but 1t Is one which Is popularly supposed to be pleasant. It is kissing, according to a learned physician, who doubtless has prescribed st with success. We have not seen his fDrmuia in full. and G5 not know cer- tainly whether the afflicted female is to ba the kisser or the kissee. Not that it makes much difference. for we have heard that either way Is first rate. Kissing. don't you see, is thoroughly a normal human action. We have no doubt that Adam kissed Eve as soon as he could get in reach of her. If he didn't he richly deserved to be sent out of the Paradise of Eden. But let that pass. what we are discussing is the new remedy for freckles. When a pretty girl has them on her face she knows just what to do, If her fellow is worth his room in a pasture. If he Is ignorant of the remedy she can find 8 quiet way to let him know, for there are various means of conveying in- formation.
 with the lights turned low Is nice place. A secluded spot in the orchard or woods, with the birds singing. the bees hnmming, the spring breezes sigh- ing and the fragrant flowers pertaining g the air is not a bad spot. Even an out-of-the-way bench in the moonlight could be made to answer. The main point is that there shall be no inter ruption, because we understand the treatment to require delicate manipu- aation. Hurry and suspicion are fatal to success. Breaking off the dose would necessitate a new start, though that would not really be an objection.
 Another important feature of the treatment is perseverance. One dose is no good. It is like some patent medi- clnes in that respect where one bottle only shows the importance of contin- uing the treatment with patience, promptness and perseverance. It may be necessary to kiss each freckle on the lady's face to make the cure cons plete. but no well regulated young man win object to that. Not only will he apply the remedy to each blemish, but will find some that she never heard of. 1t is not necessary to go into details of treatment. Given a pretty girl with freckles. proper young man. suit able place, and--yum, yum.

The New York Commercial ruminat- ing over the Bigelow defalcation-or robbery, rather-wants to know where were the direetors--the men charged with the duty of conducting the banks business, the men who themselves se- Iect the president and who stand re- sponsible to stockholders and deposi- tors alllxe?" It admits that these de rectors had no reason to suspect Mir, Bigelow, but says that doesn't excuse them. It adds that they neglected their duty and that "a close hand on the banks affairs would have disclosed Bigelow's primary peeulations within twenty-four hours"
 All very true, in theory, yet The Commercial knows 1t is impracticable in actual business. IT business of any kind cannot be carried on without keeping a watch on all connected with it, as if each one is suspected of being a thief, then each individual had bet ter be a corporation to himself and have done with all associations of men.
