IAN exchanee saws of the June bride;

An oxcnhEgo says OF tne June bride;
''She is, by immense odds, the happiest
human being in the limitable cosmos.
AS the first notes of Mendelssohn's We'd
ding March strike her enchanted ears and
she turns from the altar to march in
triumph down the Aisle of Sighs-her
shared and frightened Clarence or her
arm and the nervous glances of her
friends focused upon her, she is proud as
thrice 10000 conquerers,. Her smile is
ecstatic; her eyes glitter with gorgeous
joy. Otherwhere and in otherwise hu-
man happiness never scales such stupen-
dous pinnacles. Compared to a June
bride the man who has just drawn four
aces in poker game seems like a melan-
cholic on the verge of elf-destruction."
"A project that is srousing much in
terest is one that is very feasible for every
viewpoint. 1t is nothing more nor less
than trolley line from Warren to Oil
City. The Allegheny Valley offers a
grade for road on the south side of the
and every town of any consequence in
the valley is located on that side of the
stream. There are a number of good
towns, Tionesta, the Hickorys, President
and others and lockwood in the summer
draws many. With a trolley line this
valley would grow richer and the line
would pay. There are number of per-
sons in Warren and Oil City as well as in
the towns along the route who stand ready
10 TAXI stock in the line and help push
the project to successful completion
Warren Times. Send it along.
We were recently shown rough
draft of the plans of the new M. e. church
for Tionesta. The structure is to be
6sx74 feet, the main vestibule entrance is
at the south corner and a Sunday school
room seating $50 at the north front cor
ner. Directly back of this is the audi
torium which will seat 300. On the south
side of the building are three class rooms
capable of seating l50, and over these a
gallery which will seat 100. The pulpit
platform is at about the middle of the
back wall, with the pipe organ directly
behind the pulpit The keyboard will
open into the choir loft at the right of the
pulpit. Underneath the building will be
a nine. foot basement. The building will
be made of the Ohio gray stone or the
Hummelstown brown stone and in either
event it will be handsome one.
"A letter has just been received by
our townsman, S. D. Irwin, from Cavite,
Philippine Islands, from his nephew,
Hiram L. Irwin, who has been in the
Asatic squadron on board the Concord
as Ensign, for the last year. This squad
ron has mostly been in the Chinese sea.
He says among other things: "a brief
synopsis of our recent movements are as
follows: After six months stay in the
enterprising port of Shanghai we came
south to the Philippines about March LIST.
Here we went into dry dock, had annual
target practice in Manila Bay and various
shore drills, then came to the naval sta
tion at Cavite for repairs and stores. On
March 9th was transferred from the Con-
cord to the Helena as Senior Engineer
officer, by the Admiral. This is a new
line of duty and one find agreeable and
interesting. like the ship better as it
is larger and more comfortable, but we
leave soon for Hong Kong, then event.

River, our old station" His many
friends in this section will be pleased TO
hear from him.
