Leiter-.Tinden.

Monday evening at 8 o'clock /.
K. Letter and Miss Hattie Tindell
were married by Rev. R. B. Briney
at the parsonage of the Christian
church.
Ever since Mr.. Letter began work
on a new residence building next to
his store on Franklin avenue, every
one knew that he was contemplating
matrimony although no engagement
had been announced. The marriage
Monday, though, was unexpected
as Mr.. Letter and Miss Tindell had
made their intentions known to no
one.
Shortly before eight they left
the residence of Mrs. L. L. Mark,
the brides mother by adoption, say
ing that they we're going for a walk
and then to the opera house. This
was true, but on their walk they
stopped at the Christian parsonage.
From there they called up Mrs. Mark
and told.her of what had happened.
The brideiis a charming5young lady
and well fitted to make an ideal wife.
The groom is one of Lexington's
most substantial business men and
enjoys a large trade in plumbing
material. He has already fitted up
an elegantIhome for his bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Letter left on the
Santa Fe this morning for Kansas
City. Upon returning to Lexington
they will Immediately start house
keeping,

SPINNER IS NOT FORGOTTEN
He Was Treasurer Of the United
States in 1861.
statue of Him Is Only One that Has
Been Hidden in Some secret
Place in City.

A number OF the older employees of the
Treasury Department remember Francis
Elias Spinner. who. during the civil war
and the decade following. played a promi-
nent part in the financial affairs OF the
United States.
The late Treasurer Of The United States.
whose birthday anniversary takes place
today, is celebrated for the fact that it
was through his suggestions women were
first employed as government clerks. He
made this recommendation and carried il
out in order to fill the places made vacant
in the department over which he presided
by men enlisting in the army
Another feature which made Spinner
prominent was the difficulty with which
his signature on the different series Of
paper money and bonds and official docu-
ments could be either deciphered or coun-
terfeited The signature was about the
most familiar in the country at the time
Of his occupancy of the Office as Treas
urer Of the United States
Still another peculiar feature about this
man is the fact that his monument is the
only one of its kind that is hidden away
IN the vaults Of the Treasury Depart
ment, the reason for its being there and
not erected In some prominent square in
the city never having been satisfactorily
explained.
1t has been said his features were so
uuattraCtive as 10 detract from the
beauty of the square. where it would be
erected, instead of adding to it. Another
reason advanced is because he was the
first official who appointed women as
clerks IN the government service. thereby
depTiving many men of a means OF live
lihOod.
Spinner was born January p, 1902, at
German Flats, now Mohawk, n. Y, and
received most of his education from his
father, a German clergyman, who came
to this country in 1901.
Spinner was apprentieed to a confec-
toner in Albany, and later to a saddler
in Amsterdam. In 1924 he engaged in
trade at Herkimer, n Y, and in 1929 was
made deputy sheriff of the county. Later
he was executive officer of the Mohawk
Valley Bank, a position he held twenty
years In 1854 he was elected Representa-
tive TO Congress as an anti-slavery Demo-
Crat and served three terms. during
which period he became a Republican.
In 1851 Mr.. Spinner was appointed
United States Treasurer by President
Lincoln. continuing in that position under
the various administrations until 1919,
when he resigned on account Of failing
health. and went to Florida He ended
his service without the discrepancy In his
accounts of a penny. Mr.. Spinner died
at Jacksonville Fla December 81 1890

those policies. As a member of the plat

he was comprehensive and concise in
framing platforms which appealed 10 the
majority Of the American electorate.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
New Drug, Poslam, Now ObtainabIe In
Small Quantities.

Since its discovery one year ago, the
new drug, poslam. has successfully cured
thousands Of chronic cases of eczema and
other distressing skin afflictions. Hereto
fore p0slam has been dispensed solely for
the benefit OF eczema patients in large
jars sufficient for a months treatment
This was found to be an Inconvenience to
many thousands who use it for minor
skin troubles, such as pimples, black
heads. herpes, acne. scaly scalp. complex
ion blemishes, itching feet, piles, &c,
which require but a small quantity TO
cure. To overcome this and in response
to urgent appeals, the dispensers of pos
lam have been obliged to adopt, in addi-
tiOn TO the regular two-dollar package, a
special ffty-cent size, which in future
may be found on sale at Ogram's and
other leading drug stores. or may be or
dered direct from the Emergency LabOra-
tories. No 3 West 18th street, New York
City. In all eczema cases poslam stops
itching with first application. and pro-
eeeds to heal Immediately; chronic cases
being cured in two weeks. IN less serious
skin troubles, results are seen after an
overnight application.
Samples for experimental purposes may
still be had, free of charge, By writing to
the laboratories for them.
