PhOtOgraVure Reproduction OF

It's because 'all the world loves a
lover" that there is such unusual in
terest in the matrimonial event that
will take place in Washington next
Saturday. Literally, all the world is
interested and will have a share in the
ceremonies and festivities.
To remember Miss Roosevelt as a
bride will he a genuine pleasure to
thousands who may live TO see and read
of her as "a grandmother. In other
countries it is the custom to preserve
the memories of great weddings like
that of Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Long
worth, with some appropriate ouv
mir. The custom is to be adopted in
this country by The North American,
of Philadelphia, which on Sunday next
will publish as a part of its regular edi-
ton a handsome photogravure repro
duction of the best likeness of the Pres
ident's oldest daughter. The bride
herself selected from scores what she
considered the best photograph of her.
self, and it is from this that the repre-
duction has been made. 1t has been
excellently printed on high-quality pa
per in photograph brown, the tone that
reproduces the original, and by a pro-
cess that renders it more artistic. 1t is
a picture that is worthy of preservation
in any home, and will certainly he
kept by thousands as a reminder of the
most brilliant of White House we'd
dings.
In the same issue of the paper there
will be a full detailed account of the
wedding ceremony of the previous day
and illustrations showing the magni-
ficence of the ceremony and the Incl
dental festivities. The best descriptive
writers of The North Americans staff
and its ablest artists will contribute
their best efforts.

sacred and symbolic Palm.

From the very earliest times the
palm tree has been recognized as a
symbol of victory. Among the Greeks
and the Romans palm branches were
used to decorate the buildings n
streets of their cities in honor of the
return of Il victorious army. This Gus
tom appears to have been taken from
the eastern nations, but from what II
in particular no II now knows. AT a
very early age the Hebrews were ac-
customed to carry palm branches on
all occasions of rejoicings. This U.S.
tom having been observed on the entry
of Christ into Jerusalem, the tree has
come to zeal n special symbolism
among Christians. The primitive
church used 1t to express the triumphs
Of the ChriEtian over death through the
resurrection. AS early as the second
century y. -. 1t became the custom to
carve palm branches on the tombstones
Of those who had died for the faith.
and about the same time all pictures
of martyrs were figures holding repre-
sensations of palm branches in their
hands.

MY Visit TO New York

| left Mid wood on The 10 a. m.
train the first of April 1904 and arrived
in Camden about $50 a. m. From
thence / looked over Phila. for a day
and took the 8 p. m. train from Broad
Street Station arriving In New York
about IL p. m.
l first looked I'VE jersey City, as |
was staying with friends in that place.
New York is a fine city, having some
of the best fire and police departments
in the world.
The old fashioned horse cars are one
of the first things to attract the eve.
After noticing this feature / visited
the aquarium in Battery Park, which
is in an old fort and contains nearly
every kind of fish imaginable; some of
them being cow fish, mud puppy, hell
bender and many others.
From Battery Park a good view of
the North and East Rivers can be OBJ
tanned, also of the Brooklyn Bridge,
Statue of Liberty, Governors Isle
containing Fort Henery and Ellis
Isle were the emigrants are lnded and
inspected before being taken to the city.
1t is very amusing to watch the
emigranls land; they come off the
boat likedrovesOfc cattle driven through
our country streets.
Some of them look very poor and
others look better off, but all together a
very peculiar spectacle.
Then the Flat Iron building and the
clock where a ball falls about 125 fit.
every noon are places of interest.
Then Central Park with all of its
beauties is a very nice place to go
through.
| took a coach at the Fifth Ave. en-
trance and we went through all of the
main drives of the park.
The first thing | came to was a
fountain in the center of a pond which
was very pretty indeed.
We then came to the Zoo and the chill
dren's promenade and then TO the build
ings ofintere-t and last but not least the
Obelisk making a very pleasant and
interesting drive. The Obelisk came
from Alexander, Egypt, and has Egyp-
tian writing on it.
New York, as a whole, lisa very clean
city, having electric lights on the main
streets and gas on the Others.
The drainage is fine, there is no wa
ter standing in the cutters at all
When Wildwood gets its cement
crossings and cutters and the boroughs
all are one city it will havea fair chance
to be a second New York.
