5 On Thanksgiving Day there were
2,377 weddings throughout the Uni
ted States. The wedding march from
'Lohengrin" was played 1926
times, and the organists performing
it made the usual average Of sixty
two mistakes apiece, or 633,392 in
all, reckons the Baltimore Sun. The
late Richard Wagner turned in his
grave 1875 times. Allowing for those
who played at more than one we'd
ding, there were 1854 organists en-
gagged in the nefarious work. At the
1887 weddings there were $3.50
bridesmaids, each Of whom regretted
that she was not marching as bride
up the aisle herself. In the pews sat
1864 brides mothers, each wearing
q, smile Of triumph, and S4,670
bridesmaids mothers, each wearing a
look Of grim determination. More
than 40, 900 bachelor ushers and best
men trembled in alarm. BY next
Thanksgiving Day more than half of
tNem win be safely enmeshed in the
connubial net. Thus the business OF
marrying and giving in marriage goes
on.

A MoMENToUs DECISION.

The decision of Judge Gordon, at

their liking. Ii is In substance, that
the riot clause" in insurance poll
cies Is imperative as TO night rider
outrages, and the insurance companies
will be compelled to pay fire losse.
occasioned by incendiarsm in the
Black Patch. II insurance companies
find that they are liable to loss by
these depredations, and the risk is too
great for their safety, they may with
draw insurance. And the night riders
need not deceive themselves, insur-
ance companies are not going to dis
criminate in the same town between
tobacco that is immune from night
riders and that which is not. II the
risk is refused on one lot of tobacco
II will be refused on all. Any other
course of action on the part of insur-
ance companies would be tacitly en-
couraging the night riders, by dis
in favor OF their friends,
and adding strength to their arm.
If warehousemen and prizers can
not insure tobacco, planters will not
deliver It to them, as has been demon
strated this season. The night riders
are bound TO get the worst OF their
own wrong doing in the end.
