 Among the ante-Lenten weddings in Mobile, one especially notable for the social prominence of the two families was that. of Miss Mary Regina Rapicr to John Winthrop Mars-on, Jr.. on Jan. 29, at the home of the bride. Miss Ra- pier is the only daughter of the late Colonel John L. Rapier long editor and proprietor of the Mobile Register. Her mother was Miss Regina Demouy of the family so widely spread over Florida. Alabama and Louisiana. The Demouys are in direct descent from those gallant French invaders who fol- lowed d'Iberviile's first seizure of La Louisiane. A Demouy-then written de Muy'-was sent out by the Grand Monarque to replace de Bienville, when the latter's enemies influenced Count Pontchartrain to order his removal as Governor of the New France. but the intended successor died of yellow fever at Havana and the charges were dropped.

 The Mansions are another of the old est Mobile families. Colonel John Marston was a noted society and club man and merchant before the war and afterward. His two sons, John w. and Samuel c. Marston, are still resi- dent in Mobile, and 1t is the son and namesake of the former who married Miss Rapier. The maid of honor was Miss Mary Rapier of New Orleans. daughter of Thomas C. Rapier, now the head of the family. The brides maids were Miss Modesto Demouy and Miss Blossom Marston, cousin of the bride and sister of the groom. His best man was John B. Rapier and the groomsmen Frank Winter and Alb Jack son."

What to do? Whose fauItq I leave the public to say whose fault, excepting this. that I blame myself for not having spoken before. But we must look to the futurs. There Is only one thing to do, and If you ask what that is. I say 1t Is thts: Pro- hibit masking absolutely, or do away with the carnival entirely. Every good citizen of Mobile. especially ev- cry parent, should make his or her protest against a repetition of these public indecencies.
 For myself I wish to say. and to serve notice now, that if I am living and in Mobile at the time of prepara- tion for the next carnival I propose to : lead a fight, or preferably. to follow the lead of some one else, against the pernicious and disreputabie practice of masking. And if men shall insist on perpetuating that custom simply because 1t pleases the lowest strata of society we have here, and attracts others of the same class to the city. then I say kill the carnival. for 1t is better for the show to die than that decency be murdered.
 Tt is well for us all to understand that righteousness exaits a city as 1t does nation, and that sin is a re- proaeh to any people.

SERVICE TO HAVANA

Unusual Demand of Passengers for Observations on Boats--N0biia
 win Also Go on the

Mobile. Feb. 7.--(Special) )--When the Prince George sailed for Havana, Cuha. last Tuesday, 1t was thought by frafic agents in this city that she had sailed sor che last time In the Cuban trade for the season and that her place would in future be filled by the Mobiia- Today there seems to be a great change in the aspect The Mobiia may be plated in the service. as planned in fhekearly part of the week just passed. and yet there is a strong probability thnt the Prince George will be retained
 The cause for the change lies in the tact that the trade from Mobile to Ha- vana seemed to have grown much less than anticipated, end, the owners were fearful of too great losses by retaining sheabig vessel in the trade. Just about fIles time of the sailing of the Prince George last Tuesday there came a sud- dem rush of demands for reservations on the big Mobile Havana liner. This was not expected. What Is the cause hasnot been determined. It may just be a~spasmodic leap of tourist trade, and 1t may be something more stable. Tn view of the demands for reserva . tions the steamship company has halted in it's plans. No matter which one of the vessels Is used in the trade. 1t is certain that 1t will be well filled on its coming trip. which is Tuesday.
 Passenger men have become dissat- isfied with the tourist trade this year. The winter season in the North has not been long nor hard. and as a con sequence the trade had fallen far below the usual standard. Now that reserva- tions are being demanded. it IS gen orally thought that there will be q continued increase in the trade during these late winter months and the springtifne. the best months for that sort of travel in fact.

The body was held for a week and efforts made to ascertain if the de- ceased was a member of any of the or- ders of which he carried buttons.
 These found upon his coat and in his possession were of the Knights of Pythias. Eagles and Elks, and parties who arrived here the day after his death stated that he joined the former order in Chicgo. Letters and te.egrams were sent to that city, but the replies stated that the man was unknown. As nothing could be learned of the man, except that he was formerly of Syracuse. N, T., the county undertaken was instructed to place the body in the potter's field.
 The man was a sleight of hand art ist above the average performer, and was beating his way to this city for the Mardi Gras celebration when he met his death.
