Heidner.HOwe.

At the Baptist church Monday morn
ing there was quiet ceremony, when
Mr.. Frederick A. Heidner of Springfield,
Mass. and Mrs. Ellie A. Howe of South
Paris were united in marriage. Rev. j..
w. Chesbro, the pastor Of the church,
officiated, using the single ring service.
Only few family friends were present.
Both bride and groom were in travelling
costume.
Immediately after the ceremony, Mr..
and Mrs. Heidner took the 9:S4 train
going south for wedding trip.
Mrs. Howe eight or nine years since
purchased the millinery and fancy goods
store of Mrs. j. r. Bennett and has since
conducted it successfully, doing good
business. In the social life Of the vii
lage she has taken an active part, being
a useful member of the Baptist church,
and a member of the Seneca and Fan
Tan Clubs and other organizations.
Mr.. Heidner was for a number of years
travelling salesman for the Paris Manu-
featuring Co., but few years since be-
coming interested in an oil we'll at Sour
Lake, Texas, in the course of events 1t
became advisable for him to take charge
of the well, and he is now exclusively in
the oil producing business.
Both bride and groom are very popular
with all who know them, and have a
host of friends to wish them much hap
piness. ,
A few weeks later Mr.. and Mrs.
Heidner will 60 to Texas, where they
will spend the winter. Their summer
home will be at South Paris.

The New York Sun recently took the
cast of "Qunicy Adams Sawyer" q rural
drama which is to be seen here shortly,
as proof of its theory that the greater
success of play was made by a compe.
tent cast of players who were not we'll
known, rather than cast of we'll known
favorites. To quote the Sun, 1t said (:
"An illustration in point is given in
Quincy Adams Sawyer at the Academy
of Music. No more than two members
of that company were known to the first
audience. Yet the cast was complete
and truly admirable. Several of the
Yankee types were sketched by real
artists and no mistake. Mr.. Stephen
delineation of rustic old bachelor In
demonstratively amorous moods Is fine
achievement in artistic eccentricity, and
all the more enjoyable because the artist
is not celebrity"

Happiness the Order Of the Day, Tran
quiIIity Of the Night.
The files of old newspapers are a
priceless record of the history and
manners of their times. In the papers
of 1896 the accounts Of public rejOicings
show that these were few In number
and that the method Of keeping them
differed widely from our ideas OF fes-
tivities. Washington's birthday was
perhaps the greatest holiday.
Industrious citizens" we are told,
appropriated the hour Of noon for the
congratulations Of the day. Each fam
ily enriched the domestic meal with
bountiful provisions, and gay spirits
and temperate and undissembled JOY
pervaded all classes"
There were speeches and professions
and Nominations for the less indus
trious who were willing to give some
thing more than the hour of noon to
the celebration, but the most memOra-
BILE observance of the day was that OF
the Harvard students.
Saying to each other that it would
be disgraceful to pretend to honor
Washington with riot and disorder.
they retired to their chambers before o
o'clock, and by the time the bells
ceased ringing there was not light to
be seen In any Of the buildings"
This Is eQualed by the summing up
of the celebrations Of Fourth OF July
for the same year, day observed with
great rejoicings. No accidents are re-
ported, and the editor concludes, I'm

WEST PARIS II; TURNER 1.

The Turner team proved to be the big
disappointment of the day. The team
was made up of some well known play
ers and was picked by a number 10 be
the winner of the tournament. They
started in with rush which seemed to
uphold this judgment but their squirt
was short-lived. With Cole in the box
for West Paris, the first Turner batter
hit for two bases, a sacrifice put him on
third, and an error and two singles
scored one run and filled the bases with
only one out. Cole was then taken out
and Delano amid much applause struck
out the next two batters. Delano had
the Turner batters at his mercy for the
remainder of the game, and the result
was never in doubt.
Irish started to pitch for Turner, and
after West Paris had scored six runs by
good batting combined with some very
loose fielding in three innings, Leavitt
went in to pitch. He prevented any
further scoring until the seventh inning
when West Paris began to slam his
shoots, and they ended up by batting in
A runs in the last inning.
Emery led both teams at the bat with
a double and two singles, Bearce was
close second with three singles; his base
running was also one of the features of
the game. The score:

THE LIMIT OF LIFE.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation OF
human life is many years below the at.
tainment possible with the advanced
of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be be-
tween 80 and 90; the proper care Of the
body during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then being
fatal to longevity. Natures best helper

A COUNTRY VISITOR.
Tho New York Man Felt Above Him,
but Chanaed His Opinion.

but Changed His Opinion.
One of the most successful wholesale
dry goods merchants New York city
ever saw had the peculiar habit OF re-
garding as his inferior any man who
was engaged in q business less gen.
teel, as he held, than his own. In bis
employ was a young vernonter, who
felt highly elated when one day a man
from his native town who was visiting
the city called on him. The man was
somewhat crude In his manners, but
he had piled up fortune in the tin
ware business and In buying up at a
discount I'm times of panic commercial
paper which he believed was good.
The youth introduced the Vermonter
to his employer
"What business are you inT asked
the dry goods prince as the two shook
hands.
"The tinw-a-a-r business" drawled
the yermonter.
Without a word the dry goods mer-
chant turned on his heel and bolted
into his private Office. He didn't rec
ognlze tinware merchants as desirable
acquaintance.
Hold on minute. Mr.. -" shouted
the yermonter after the retreating fig
ure. Are these here things goin' to
be paid when they fall duei'
From his wallet the vermonter drew
several slips of paper, which he held
up to the dry goods merchants face.
The merchant glanced at them and eff
fusively babe the Vsrmonter welcome
to his private Office. The papers were
notes to the extent Of $4,000 uttered
by the dry goods merchant and which,
unknown to him, the VermOnter had
bought up ut big discOunt.-BrOoklyn
