amount in so short a time, but they
have risen to the emergency. They
are no longer mere financial ma

many to pay the losses of the few.
They are actually striving to relieve
distress as rapidly as possible at
great cost to themselves. Under
their contracts they have sixty days

They will pay it promptly, but to

sets there, and enforced assessments
upon thousands of stockholders to
meet the claims. But hundreds of
millions of property values in San

surance companies are all that stand
between the people and irretrievable
ruin. And so they stand. and pay,
and say nothing about what it costs

specially endeared the day TO us all.

many OF us, who have migrated from
the scenes of their earlier years, a
peculiar significance of the day.
The president of the United States
has by his proclamation designated
Thursday. the twenty ninth day of No

BY the law of the nation, and by the

The relation of the nerves and gem
erative organs in woman is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal

Nothing will relieve this distressing

New York, Nov. 1.-The eclipse OF
the political spell binder of the cart

option, by the political parties in the
present campaign. of the biograph and
photograph to Undue voters with pat
riotic enthusiasm. This step supplies
whatever was lacking in the
campaign William r Hearst first
resorted to this device, by talk
ing into a monograph and posing
before a biOgraph machine. This was
found by his managers to be such a
fetching novelty that the Hughes cam
paign managers decided to follow suit.
and for the last week SCOTS of cart
tail speakers of both sides, chosen with
a view to the volume of their voices,
have been shouting day after day into
photograph cylinders which have been
distributed throughout the state for the
delectation and education of the rural
voters who will cast the deciding bal
lots up the state When the first an

photograph by the Hearst leaders came
it was suggested that the superiority
of the photograph speech over the
first-hand grafton, hot from the lips Of
the spell binder, lay in the immunity
of the machine from defeat in contro-

may be it applies to one side as well
as to the other. The next development
we may look for is the organization of

function and by the devotional beauty
of a Cathedral service.
No ceremony of a similar kind ever
was witnessed by a more distinguished
assemblage. There were present as
guests not only the most eminent re-
representatives. of the American Govern
ment, but the personal missioners of
the Kings and potentates of the Pow
ers of the civilized world, constituting
an assemblage not only one of the
largest, but the most distinguished
that ever was gathered at one time in
the White House.
While the bride herself and the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt had desired
that the ceremony of the marriage
should be as quiet and simple as posi-
BILE, it was found impracticable to limit
the function, as was intended at first,

gorgeous day lent added beauty to the
setting of the wedding.
1t had been intended to light the
magnificent East room with the hun
dreds of softly shaded electric lamps OF
the great chandeliers, but while artif-
cial lights were utilized throughout the
remainder of the White House, it was
determined to flood the marriage scene
with sunlight.
1t was a beautiful %conceit, founded
upon the pretty proverb, Happy is
the bride the SUI shines on" No love-
lier day in winter ever dawned. The
air was balmy almost as spring. No
more suspicious day for a wedding
could have been imagined.
At four minutes after IL O'Clock Mrs.
Roosevelt, on the arm of her eldest
son, Theodore, Jr., descended the main
staircase, and entered the East room
by the west doors. She was preceded
by Major Charles McCawley and other
military aides, and was escorted to a
point at the left of the platform, where
the wedding ceremony was to take
place. The mother and sisters of the
bridegroom and other designated mem
bers of the family already had assumed
their places at the right of the plat
form. That a way might be kept clear

altar of the wedding party twisted
