WEDDING AT WHITE CITY SECOND BRILLIANT EVENT An Affair That Will be More Gorgeous Than the Bishop
 Hastings Nuptials.

The second brilliant wedding of the season at the White City takes place tonight when Signor Dominic Calavita, of West Haven, member of a once notable family of Italy, and Miss Chris tina Hanz, one of Wallingford's social celebrities, will be united in marriage, by the Rev, MT. Hess of New York. The ceremony will be somewhat more elaborate than the one two or three weeks ago as will also the details.
 The dresses of the lady members of the bridal party will be splendid
 The bride will be attired in white silk and net gown cut entrain. At her throat she will wear a large sunbursr of diamonds, the gift of the groom, and for flowers she will carry orchids. Leopold Mezzo and Christine Leon will be the train bearers The bride ana groom will proceed from the office of the White City accompanied by the best man and bridesmaids. They will march over a path strewn with astors and other blossoms of the season to the great platform near the lagoon where the ceremony will be performed.
 The bridal concert program Will be one of greatest musical feasts of the season. In the professional the Second Regiment band augmented to nearly forty pieces will play the stirring and impressive strains of Lohengrin's faln- ous wedding march while in the recess sional the joyous notes of Mendel- ssohn's great march will resound through the park.
 Every detail of the wedding will be carried out strictly in conformity with the rules of society," and the fete fol- lowing will be on scale that will excel in grandeur the wedding fetes of the mighty rich.
 All this will be a fitting climax to a love romance of some years Signor Calavita's life has been an interesting one. Years ago while his parents who were then wealthy, were travelling in Algiers, near the Moroccan frontier, he was kidnapped by brigandsI He was held for ransom for over year, his parents sacrificing large part of their wealth in securing his release. Later they lost what remained and when the boy, Dominic, became a young man he determined to do what he could to re- imburse them. He came to this coun- try and has already anassed a com fortable fortune in the manufacture of fireworks He was one of Pains orig. inal pyrotechnical artists and provided ideas for many of the exhibitions that made that name famous. To Manager Speck Calavita has been a most helpful man in carrying out the. plans for those splendid exhibitions, the Falls of Niagara" and "Deluge of Fire
 Calavita was greatly impressed with the wedding of Robert Bishop and Miss Bessie Hastings at the White City few weeks ago and the other day asked Manager Speck if he would not allow him and Miss Hang to be married the same way. The energetic manager, always quick to grasp at novel things for the public, said cer- tainly and arrangements were put urf- der way at once.
 The final ballRon ascensions of the season are now being given by John ny Mack himself, young Rose and Tommy Cook of Branford.

Increased National Regulation.

The utterly changed conditions of our national life necessitate changes in certain of our laws, of our government al methods. Our federal system of gov erEnent is based upon the theory of leaving to each community, to each State, the control over those things which affect only It's own members and which the people of the locality them selves can best grapple with, while pro- viding for national regulation in those matters which necessarily affect the nation as a whole. It seems to me that such questions as national sovereignty and states rights need to be treated not empirically or mechanically, but from the standpoint of the interests of the people as whole National sover- eighty is to be upheld in so far as it means the sovereignty of the people used for the real and ultimate good of the people; and states rights are to bs upheld in so far as they mean the peoples rights. Especially Is this true in dealing with the relations of the people as a whole1to the great corpora ticns which are the distinguishing fea- ture of modern business conditions.
 Experience has shown that it is nec- essary to exercise a far more efficient control than at present over the busi- ness use of those vast fortunes, chiefly corporate, which are used Gas under modern conditions they almost invari- ably are) in interstate business When the constitution was created none of the conditions of modern business ex-, isted. They are wholly new and we must create new agencies to\ deal effec- lively with them.
 There is no objection in, the minds of this people to any mans earning any amount of money if he does it hon. estly and fairly, if he gets it as the re- suit of special skill and enterprise, as reward of ample service actually rem dered. But there is growing deter imitation that no man shal9 amass a great fortune by special privilege. by chicanery and wrongdoing, so far as 1t is in the power of legislation to pre- vent; and that the fortune when amassed shall not have a business use that is antisocial Most large corpora

New Responsibilities.

] We have travelled far since his day.
 That liberty of conscience which he demanded for himself we now realize
 must be as freely accorded to others
 as it is resolutely insisted upon for
 ourselves. The splendid qualities which he left to his children, we other Americans who are not of Puritan blood also claim as our heritage You, sons of the Puritans, and we, who are
 descended from races whom the Puri- tans would have deemed aien-we
 are all Americans together. We all
 feel the same pride in the genesis, in the history, of our people; and there fore this shrine of Puritanism is one at which we all gather to pay homage,
 no matter from what country our an cestors sprang.
 We have gained some things that | the Puritan had not--we of this gen eration, we of the twentieth century
 here in this great Republic; but we are also in danger of losing certain things which the Puritan had and
 which we can by no manner of means afford to lose We have gained a
 joy of living which he had not, and
 which it is a good thing for every
 people to have and to develop. Let us see to it that we do not lose what is more important still that we do not lose the Purltan's iron sense of duty,
 his unbending, unflinching will to do the right as 1t was given him to see the right It is good thing that life should gain in sweetness, but only pro- vided that it does not lose in strength

The Puritan Character.

The Puritan owed his extraordinary success in subduing this continent and making 1t the foundation for social life of ordered liberty primarily to the fact that he combined In very
 remarkable degree both the power of
 individual initiative, of individual
 self-help, and the power of acting in combination with his fellows; and that furthermore he joined to high heart that shrewd common sense which saves a man from the besetting sins of the visionary and the doc- trinaire. He was stout hearted and hard headed. He had lofty purposes, but he had practical good sense, too. He could hold his own in the rough
 workaday world without clamorous insistence upon being helped by oth- CTS, and yet he could combine with others whenever it became necessary ] to do a job which could not be as we'll done by any one man individu- ally.
 These were the qualities which enabled him to do his work. and they are the very qualities which we must show in doing our
 work to-day. There is no use in our coming here to pay homage to the men who founded this nation unless we first
 of all come in the spirit of trying to do our work to-day as they did their work in the yesterdays that have van- ished. The problems shift from gener- ation to generation, but the spirit in which they must be approached, If they are to be successfully solved, remains ever the same. The Puritan tanned the wilderness, and built up a free govern mentz on the stump-detted clearings amid the primeval forest. His descend arts must try to shape the life of our complex industrial civilization by new devices, by new methods, so as to achieve in the end the same results of justice and fair dealing toward all, He cast aside nothing old merely for the sake of innovation, yet he did not he's itate to adopt anything new that would save his purpose. When he planted his ccmmonwealths on this rugged coast he faced wholly new conditions and he had to devise new methods of meeting them. So we of to-day face wholly new conditions in our social and industrial life. We should certainly not adopt any new scheme for grappling with them merely because it is new and un- tried; but we cannot afford to shrink from grappling with them because they can only be grappled with by some new scheme,
 The Puritan was no Laodicean, no laissez-faire theorist. When he saw conduct which was in violation of his rights-of the rights of man, the rights of God, as he understood them-he att tempted to regulate such conduct with ir stant, unquestioning promptness and effectiveness. If there was no other way to secure conformity with the rule of right, then he smote down the trans gressor with the iron of his wrath. The spirit of the Puritan was a spirit which

never shrank from regulation of con- duct if such regulation was necessary for the public veal; and this is the spirit which we must show to-day whenever it is necessary.

Il MISSES MARTIN
ENTERTAIN GIRLS.


Misses Sadie and Mildred Martin
gave a party at the beautiful home of
their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c.. c. Mar
tin, at the corner of Alameda and Lea
avenues from three till six yesterday
afternoon, a large number of Roswell
young ladies being their guests. The
Martin home was unusually inviting
on this occasion in its decorations of
flowers and Navajos.
The task of dressing a ~clothes-pin in
garments made of tissue paper was
the amusement assigned each guest
and it proved an interesting diversion.
At the conclusion all the dolls were
put together and upon vote the young
ladies, it was determined that Miss
Fern Fairchilds had one the best job
OF all. She was rewarded with a bea
tiful picture. Throughout the after
close the guests were refreshed with
pineapple snerbet and cakes.
The affair was complimentary to

with the feld-glass at his eyes. The
distant figures passed slowly forward
into the midst of the willows, and for
half an hour the patient watcher
scanned b surface of the stream be-
yond. but there was nc sign of at
tempted passage. The sun sank lower
and finally disappeared behind those
desolate ridges to the westward.
Hampton's knowledge of ~plainscraft
rendered Murphy's actions sufficiently
clear. This was the Fourche; beyond
those waters lay the terrible peril of
Indian raiders. Further advance must
be made by swift. secret night riding,
and -never-ceasing vigilance. This was
what Murphy had pee saving himself
and his horses for. Beyond conjec-
ture, he was resting now within the
shadows of those willows, studying
the opposite shore and making ready
for the dash northward. Hampton be-
lieved he would linger thus for some
time after dark, to see If Indian fires
would afford any guidance. Confident
of this, he passed back to his horses,
rubbed them down with grass, and
ate his lonely supper, not ventur-
ing to light a fire, certain that Muir
phys eyes were scanning every inch
of skyline.
Darkness came rapidly, while Hamp-
ton sat planning again the details of
his nights work. Then, with the two
animals trailing cautiously behind, he
felt his slow way on foot down the
steep bluff, into thu denser blackness
of the valley.
