Few of the thousands who marry
reach the years when the Golden Wed
ding is celebrated.
1t is gratifying to n"jr .t;t two OF
these rare events were 'erved IN
Shreveport yesterday.

of Shreveport: of Michael and Julius
Bernstein, associated and engaged In
business as Bernstein Brothers; and
Alexander, AMI their daughters, Mrs.
Felix Weller, Mrs. E. Franllel and
Mrs. David Weller.
During these many years, through all
the vicissitudes and joys of a union ce-
mentcd by the hand Of God. they have
journeyed until they have reached the
years of the Golden Welding, which has
been celebrated becomingly and appro-
priated. The ceremony and the enter
tainment were at the home of the be-
loved couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bernstein came to the
United States at an early age and are
numbered with the most beloved Of the
citizens of Shreveport, while their sons

the day was a reminder of half a cen
tury ago, when they pledged each other
their love through the long years which
have been glorifei i'll their Golden
Wedding
1t was in the year 1857 that Mr.. now
Rev. Ladson L. Boone was married to
Miss Mary r. Beekham, belle Of Sa-
lem. Ala. After varied experience,
being a gallant Confederate soldier and
having engaged in business, Mr.. Boone
Joined the ministry. He was ordained
in the Second Baptist church i'll Little
Rock, Ark, in 1895. He is mdetati-
gable in the work of the church and he
and his good wife are beloved by all who
know them.
Besides their friends, the event was
made the more pleasurable by the pres
ence of their two children, L. l., Boone
Jr., and Mrs. D. F. Mccullough and
three grandchildren.
Rev. Mr.. Boone is of the best stock
of South Carolina.
What is there of earth more solemn III
its obligation than the ties, the pledges
of love, by which man and woman
are united by divine decree.
Here follows an article which is per-
tinent to the celebration of these Golden
Weddings:
Marriage has in ii less beauty, but
more safety than single life; it has not
more ease, but less danger: it is fuller
of sorrows and fuller of joys; it lies I'M
der more burdens, but is supported by
all the strength of love and charity, and
those burdens are delightful. Marriage
is the mother of the world, ani pre-
serves kingdoms, and fills cities and
churches and heaven itself. Celibacy,
like the fly in the heart of an apple,
dwells. in perpetual sweetness, but sits
alone, and is confined and dies in singu-
larity; but marriage, like the useful bee,
builds house ani gathers sweetness
from every flower, and labors and unltes
into societies and republics and sends
out colonies and feeds the world with
delicacies, and obeys their king AMI
keeps order. and exercises many virtues
and promotes the interest of mankind
and is that state of good to which God
designed the present constitution o1
mankind"
May Our friends live, iii the full Ell
ioynent of all the blessings of earth, to
celebrate their Diamond Wedding. The
Caucasian is gratihed in joining theil
friends in hearty congratulations.

DYING WISH is FULFILLED.
Burial Of Woman Who Refused
Marry President Buchanan.

st. Louis.-The dying request of
Miss Mary Ann Casey, daughter of
Samuel Casey. treasurer of the United

LEss CHAMPAGNE Is DRUNK
United statss Imports Of Sparkling
Wine Show q Decrease.

Washington. - Apparently cham.
payne drinking In the United States is
on the wane. Both the quantity and
value OF that beverage imported into
this country last year were less than
In the preceding year and practically
no greater than dozen years ago. /,
This is only one OF several surpris:
Ing features OF a statement issued by
the bureau Of statistics on the 'ebb
and flow OF the commerce Of the Unit
ed States" The figures show that
394.727 dozen quarts OF champagne
and other sparkling wines were i'm
ported In 1906. valued at $5.S55.425.
while in the Immediately preceding
year the number of dozen quarts was
40l. .514. valued at $5.995.651.
Another surprising fact is that while
the United States is one of the great
est coffee consuming countries in the
world. yet 1t is actually exporting that
product. The exports of domestic
products include 31.51s.494 pounds of
green or raw coffee. valued at $3,S70.-
592.
This is explained by the fact that
J. oilo iNlto anu inc ili"ulldu lsidiuS
are customs districts of the United
States and that their exports to for
eign countries are now included with
the figures of exports from the various
customs districts of this country.
1t is stated that doubtless all of this
coffee Is the product of the island pos
sessions referred to. In addition 49,
100000 pounds of coffee of foreign
production brought into this country
was reeXported.
Still another curious feature OF
American commerce is that while this
country produces three-fourths of the
worlds cotton, sl1,000,000 worth Of
that product was imported last year.
to say nothing OF sl.O0O.00O worth Of
waste cotton. This product, however.
is of n different quality from that
principally produced in the United
States. being of the long and silky
fiber, coming principally from Egypt.
While this country is the largest
manufacturer of cotton goods, the i'm
portations OF manufactures of this
product aggregated in round figures
500 100000 in value. which was more
than so per cent in excess Of the value
Of these goods exported.
