voluminous tulle veil, almost complete
ly enveloping the bride, was held in
place by dainty clusters of orange bios
sons. The dry slippers wer+ fash.
toned from silver brocadc, and instead
of buckles, t lie lows were worn Will
tiny clusters of "ange lowers.
The only jewels worn by the cride
was the superb diamond necklace
which was the gift Of the bridegroom.
Over he: lei 1rm Miss Roosevelt

two lines and presented his daughter
to the waiting bridegroom, who stepped
forward to receive her. Together they
assembled th y atform, where Bishop
Satterlee in the imposing robes OF his
office already was stant-ing.
It was one of the most suspicious
moments in the history of the White
House. The guests seemed scarcely
to breathe, so intent were they to
catch every syllable of the beautiful
service. In low, yet resonant tones,
Bishop Satterlee began. At the con-
clusion of the responses from the
bride and bridegroom, the venerable
bishop inquired in a tone that filled
the great room:
"Who giveth this woman to be mar
ried to this man?'
The President assembled the platform
and taking his daughters right hand,
placed it in that of the bridegroom.
Thus he gave the bride away TO the
man of her choice, and by the ring
which an instant later he placed on
the. fourth finger of her left hand, she
became Mrs. Nicholas LOngwOrth.

ceremony the assembled guests were

In a beautiful country house in that

Here they went in a big automobile
Just after 4 o'clock p. m. 1t was a

America Not to Blame For PanaLna's
Secession, Colombia is Told.

SECESSION, COlOlnDla Is lOlu.
Washington. D. C.-The United
States will not assume any RESPONSE
bility for the revolution in Panama
which resulted in the loss Of that prov
ince by Colombia. 1t is denied that
this Government encouraged the seces-
sion. or that any obligation attaches
for compensation to the parent country.
This declaration of principle Is con-
tanned in a reply given by the State
Department to representations made
by the Colombian Minister, in which
be presented arguments to prove that
without the assistance Of the United
States the revolution in Panama could
not have proved successful. This ar
gument was offered as preliminary to
a demand for the payment of the in
debtedness due to Colombia by Pana-
ma. and possibly for compensation for
the loss of the isthmus and the canal
concession.

COAL ROADS CAN'T SELL COAL.
Highly Important Decision by the Sill
Dreme Court.

CESAS
Washington, D. C.-Probably the
most important and far reaching de-
cision, as far as the Interstate Com
merce law is concerned, was delivered
by the Supreme Court when by an un-
divided bench it laid down the new
principle that railroads cannot deal in
the commodities which they haul over
their lines.
This decision falls principally on the
railroads which directly or indirectly
own coal mines and sell their products,
but if the courts sustain the claim OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that private car lines are common car
riers the principle laid down may also
include them, so that owners of re-
f~rigerator cars would be prohibited
from using their own cars for the
transportation of their products.

If the republicans Of Wyoming
should by any possibility lose any OF
their candidates this year, it will be
their own fault. Their ticket is the
best that has been placed before the
people by any part for several years and
all that is to be feared is too much
confidence. Every republican through.
out the state should make L. a matter
OF business to register in October and
vote in November. This should be just
as much a duty as earning the daily
bread. 1t means more in dollars and
cents.
