WEDDING GIFTS NOW AND THEN.

WEDDING cir IL NV H-''
The modern wedding in high life IS
a magnificent affair. Perhaps 1t IS
iovous one, but it usually happens
that where there is much grandeur and
ceremony real happiness is banlShed'
The weddings of our fathers and mott
ers were very simple affairs, and we
have reason to believe from the part
thew play in family annals, local
nrints and traditions that everybody
had a good time. 1t was easy for the
Doorest relations to chip in and help
the Young folks start housekeeping,
for anv useful article, from tinware,
aat-irons and casters to rag carpets
sets of furniture and eight-day clocks,
was most acceptable and gave endless
pleasure to the recipients.
Maybe it is all right that the gifts
that made the brides of old happy are
not to be thought of today as suited
to the occasion of setting w in life.
If happiness at this important stage
of life can only be obtained with
Sevres or crown derby china, dia-
monds and pearls, why, these treas
ures must be provided, if the whole
family is practically bankrupted in
order to get "the goods"
1t often happens, though, that the
Unsuitable yearning for rich gifts does
not spring from a healthful desire to
possess and enjoy these things, but
from envy and pride. One bride wants
them because another bride had them;
and this brief triumph over, all inter
est in them dies-eXcept as bric-a-brac
to display as trophies. SO when 1t
comes to lasting good out of wedding
presents the brides whose souvenirs
are ironing boards, clothes wringers
and unhemmed towels from grand
mother, uncle John and sister Sue, as
we'll as old beaus, probably have the
real thing without alloy.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY STEAL.

The ship subsidy bill has passed the
senate, and the question now is wheth-
er it can be pushed through the house.
The answer will probably be in the
affirmative, as the house is republican
and republican raids upon public
money in the interest of private snaps
are familiar things. The New York
Journal of Commerce declares that
the subsidy scheme lis merely the eX-
ercfse of governmental power to take
from some to give to others; to divert
funds from the public treasury to pri-
vate interests"
The bill contains three main feat
ures, as the Journal of Commerce eX-
plains: A bounty for such officers
aud men employed in the merchant
marine and deep sea fisheries as may
be enrolled in naval reserve under
regulations prescribed by the secre-
tary of the navy; subventions to the
owner or owners of any vessel here
after built and registered in the United
States and engaged exclusively in for
eign trade, and the establishment by
the postmaster-general of eleven lines
of steamships for the transmission OF
foreign mails. The first provision
was made in the bill to catch the So
called "patriotic" sentiment of the
country; the second to secure the Gin
Auence" of those engaged in the ship
building business, and the third is
pure graft"
During the ten years covered by the
bill it is estimated that the total ex-
penses will be about fifty-seven mil
lion dollars. This must come out OF
the pockets of the people. The ship
builders will get nearly thirty million
dollars and the ships carrying mail
will get twenty-four million dollars.
AS the Charleston News and Courier
insists, there is nothing in the bill
that appeals to honest men.

The marriage of the presidents
daughter brings to mind another
Roosevelt wedding in 1892 in which
Baron Leditz, then attached to the
German embassy in Washington, was
married to a cousin of the president.
The following incident was related in
the newspapers at the time:
Baron Leditz, who is shortly to
marry Miss Roosevelt of New York,
will wear his German officers uniform
at the wedding. That is at the re-
quest of Miss Roosevelt, who wished
her friends to see what a handsome
man he is. To make this possible he
had to get the consent of Emperor
William, This was at first refused,
but the Emperor, on learning how
much Miss Roosevelt was interested in
the matter, graciously consented. 1t
is a gorgeous uniform. Speaking of it
recently to a friend the Baron said:

ferred formal charges to Recorder Stanton, of

Line.
Soon after the steamer was moored TO Pier 8
the alleged stowaways attempted to go ashore.

Them but the men succeeded in reaching the
pier Here The steamship officers were rem

TO the ship.
The steamship company told the authorities at
Ellis Island that the eight men mad landed IN

SPECIAL PANEL MOTION WITHDRAWN
Jerome Has Thaw Case Transferred to Su-
preme Court, Eliminating Goff

It said on the authority of District Attor-
ney Jerome late yesterday afternoon that the
motion for a special panel of hundred and fifty
jurors to try Harry Thaw, made earlier in the
day, had been withdrawn. The motion was
made before Judge O'Sullivan in general ses-
sions. The District Attorney appeared before
Justice Greenbaum in the afternoon and asked
to have the Thaw case transferred from the
General Sessions Court to the Criminal Branch
of the Supreme Court The motion was granted.
This means that Thaw will not be tried before
Recorder Gof1 on December 8.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan appeared
before Judge O'Sullivan in the morning and
asked for special pane! of hundred and fifty
jurors to be drawn before Recorder Goff to
try Thaw. The argument was that the case
had received q great deal of newspaper notoriety
and the District Attorney believed that a special
panel would expedite the work of getting a jury.
Clifford w. Hartridge and John B. Gleason
appeared for Thaw and opposed the motion.
They said that it would put the taxpayers to
needless heavy expense.
1--WE have discovered that a number of wit
nesses are out OF the state, and that they will
not come here" said Mr.. Hartridge "They re-
quite that their dispositions be taken, and it may
be that if the is set down for December
the dispositions may not be returned by that
time"
