A reception to Harry Ward and
bride was planned for last Monday
evening at E. w. Fedderly's, and on
the same evening Harry's old asso-
ciates of ''The Stag" had organized
for a reception for the groom.
Learning that the groom would not
be in position to accept their invi-
tation Monday night voluntarily,
the Stays sent out scouting party,
with orders to kidnap the bride
groom before he left town for the
Fedderly farm. The scouts obeyed
orders in spite of gallant resistance
on Harry's part, and taking him to
their club rooms, gave him the time
of his life before releasing him to
fulfill his other engagement. The
groom was too good natured to take
offense at his boistrous hosts, and
even admitted that he enjoyed the
sensation of being kidnapped.
In the biographical sketch of the
late Mrs. Powell, printed elsewhere
in this number, reference is made to
bequest made for a guild hall. By
the terms of her last will, Mrs.
Powell directed that $500 out of her
estate should be set aside at interest
under suitable trusteeship, the
amount to be applied toward build
ing a guild hall for this parish. Her
collection of beautiful river shells
was bequeathed to the public library
of this city, together with small
sum for providing suitable cabinet.
Mrs. Powell left a number of other
minor requests, one of them to de-
fray the expenses of the last illness
of an aged and deserving woman
who had toiled in Mrs. Powells
kitchen in days gone by. The bulk
of the estate is devised to the two
surviving sisters of Mrs. Powell and
their heirs.
