Miss Eleanor Bowers and Mr.. Philip
r. Grove United in Marriage
at Hagerstown.

Cupid was on the job up to the last min
ute of 1907. Yesterday he took part in a
romantic elopement in which Miss Flea
nor Bowers. daughter of Mr.. George NJ.
Bowers of this city, United States fish
commissioner was the happy bride and
Philip r. Grove of Martinsburg. w. Va,
the lucky groom. Mr.. Bowers family
home is in Martinsburg. Miss Bowers
was spending the holidays with her aunt
in that town and by pretty little SUBJ
terfuge she threw her relatives off the
trail, met Mr.. Grove and went with him
to Hagerstown. where the knot was tied
Commissioner Bowers stated he had no
reason for opposing the marriage of the
young people except on account of the
age of his daughter. He takes it p.hilo-
sophically, and smilingly remarked that
he might have known that love would
find a way"
The telegram announcing the marriage
to Mr.. Bowers was as follows:
. Dear Papa: Philip and | were married
TODAY. ELEANOR"
1t was about week ago that Miss
Eleanor Bowers, her sister Gene and her
brother George NJ Bowers. jr. went to
Martinsburg to spend the holidays with
their aunt. Mrs. George NJ. Busey Miss
Eleanor. it is said was in unusually
happy mood-happier than usual even at
Christmas time. Perhaps the reason for
her ecstatfc state of mind was that Mar
tinsburg was Philip Groves home town
However that may have been the two
young people saw a great deal of each
other. and this without giving any of the
young ladys relatives a hint, of the
reality.
Fine Day in the Country.
Yesterday was a fine day to spend In
the country. said Miss Eleanor to her
aunt. So off the young lady went-not to
the country, but to meet Mr.. Grove
Cupid had realized his opportunity was
at hand and had made the most of it. He
guided the young couple to the Cumber-
land Valley station and piloted them
aboard the train for Hagerstown and
them not satisfied with his mischief led
them on to the Office where marriage
licenses are dispensed. and thence to the
residence of one Rev. G. S Simon pastor
of Trinity Lutheran Church. The young
gentleman spoke the words that the little
god put into his mouth. and the minister
did the rest.
Mrs. Grove-the Miss Bowers that was

 daughters of the pioneers who came to this country and converted what was once desert into a garden spot. When the pioneer rose into a new country he endured sacrifices and his reward ought to be large. Ee goes forth with great industry to convert raw materials that he finds Into finished products Into material wealth. and when the conditions are such as they ought to be. he succeeds in amasstng fortune. and accumulates property in proportion as he applies genius and industry in his work. I take 1t that this is the law of reward and the government should. as nearly as possible. follow these laws.
 "one of our complaints against pres- ent conditions Is that the rewards of society are not eQuitably distributed. Take for instance your occupations or professions. Whether our children are . comfort to us. a pride to ua. depends very largely upon what the teacher does for the teacher more than any other one co-operates with the parent In the development of the child. Now this is your work. It could not be . mora important work. and yet. what is your remuneration7
 Now compare your compensation and your work with the compensation and the work of those who have se- cured privileges and fayoritism. Com pare your work and your reward with those. for instance. who have secured control of some great industry and who, by means of this control. are able to reach their hands into the pockets of se.0o0.0OO of people and by fixing arbitrarily the price of that which they sell at which the people must have are able to gather reward larger thnR they earn.
 The Democratic Party is nct exc pecting to bring the millenium through a Democratic administration. Those who represent that party understood that the governments are administereo by human hands and that what mans hand touches does not attain tn per lection. We do not expect our nation will be free from faults when 1t 10 intrusted In the hands of those who cali themselves Democrats. But # is the purpase of those who are Demo- crats to secure a better adjustment of rewards of service and they believe that this can be done by restoring the government to the ancient doctrine. They believe that 1t can be done by making it more responsive to the will of the people and if you will read the patfornl you will find that there are several specific reforms that are asked for"
