Governor viii sian II.

The Moriarty bill allowing upper
peninsula mining companies to own
unlimited timber acreage, which
passed the senate and the house with
such large majorities, in spite OF a
decree of alarmist opposition, will
probably be signed by the governor
1t is said by the friends of the bill that
he was consulted by the attorneys of
the various conflicting interests in the
north country before the bill passed
the senate, and these conflicting in
terests, which certainly would not see
one another allowed to form trusts,
have agreed on the bill. The iron
mines, the Calumet & Hecla and the
Osceola people, are said to be agreed
on the bill.

urges the raising 4 the standard Of

NewYork clergyman, while those who
have already assumed the matrimon
ial yoke will regret that he did mo-
flourish and give forth words Of wis
dom several years ago.
ForFatner Meyer mas issued a sterr
ukase to his Pensioners prohibitine
the throwing of rice adjusting brides
and excited bridegrooms.
The custom is a relic of barbartsm
says Father Meyer, and has no place
in a civilized wedding ceremony. HI
also points out the obvious fact tina
IT is dangerous and the cause Of mucf
physical discomfort as well as menta
perturbation.
II tae clergy Of the country would
follow Father Meyers example, ant
il their efforts would be backed "
by the police, it would be an admira
BILE thing. What benedict in the coun
try, unless he ands bis wife sensiblI
sneaked away and got married wher
no one was looking, but has a lively
recollection Of the sensation produced
by the idiot who hurried half pount
Of rice at short range and struck hin
fairly III the ear? What woman di'
not spend an hour or 50 after her we'd
ding in trying to combrice out Of he'
hair and shake it out Of her clothing
And the amount Of masculine profan
ity and feminine annoyance that ha'
resulted from this silly custom is in
calculable.
