 IN WEDDING
Ensign Emmie CroWther Comes From England To Wed Lieut.. William Henry PolIsreen, a Bisbee Miner.

Bisbee will witness the oainina- ton of an extremely pretty romance in the near future. when Ensign Elm mie Crowther, lately in charge of the Salvation Army corps at Cunnis lASe In Cornwall England, becomes hSs. William Henry Pollgreen, of Bisbee.
 The ensign arrived from England
 last Sunday to fulfill her engagement with Lieutenant PonTeen. wko Is also native d the old country. but who has been living in Bisbee since last November. Lieutenant Poaigreen's home was in Glasgow. Scotland, where he was an earnest worker in the Salvation Army. Owing to fnan- cial embarrassments suffered by his parents, to whom he Is very devoted, he was compelled temporarily to for sake active service as an officer, and came to seek ais fortune in America. So wen has he succeeded, and so at- tached has he become DO tke new country that he and the sweet faced little woman who is to become Mrs Pollgreen have decided to saAke their home here. O
 "We expect to live in Arizona '' said the Ensign, "and work here for God and the army"
 Immediately after the marriage they expect to enter active army ser vice. and. while in all probability they will be assigned to a post jn the territory, 1t is not likely that they will be stationed in Bisbee.
 Ensign Crowther is staying at present with the officers in csarge of the local corps.
 The wedding will be an army wed ding said Captain Huat, aat the army hall, and all our friends will be | invited to attend"
 The exact date of the marriage llas not yet been fixed, word being await ed from army headquarters before definite announcements win he made.
 Lieutenant Pollgreen is well liked and much respected among his asso- ciates and acquaintances here, and the gentle consecrated little bride elect is sure to win uRBumbered friends among those interested ip the ?, Salvation Army work in Bisbee. The service at the army hall last night was in the nature of a welcome to Ensign Crowthers, and a farewell to Drum Sergeant Thomas Hodge,
 Mrs Hodge and their daughter, Miss
 Salina. Sergeant Hodge and his fam | fly will leave tomorrow for San Fran cisco, from which point they will set sail on Saturday for their old home in Charters Towers, Australia. They have done faiSnful and efisient work in the army here and no doubt will !, be greatly missed by the local corps.

WHAT NATTER REALLY IS.

Throughout the greater part of space
We find simple unmodifled ether. elastic
and massive, squirming and quivering
with energy. but stationary as a whole.
Here and there, however, writes Sir
Oliver Lodge In Modern Views of Elec-
tricity, we find specks of electrified
ether, isolated yet connected together
by fields Of force, and in a state of vio-
lent locomotion. These "specks'' are
what, In the form of prodigious aggre-
gates, we know as matter" and the
greater number of sensible phenomena,
such as viscosity. heat, sound. electric
~conduction, absorption and emission of
light, belong to these differentiated or
individualized n ASSOCIATED or cleo
triied specks. which are either flying
alone or are revolving with orbital mo-
ton in groups. The matter so con-
stituted-built up OF these we'll sep
arated particles, with interstices enor-
in proportion of the size of the
specks-must be an excessively porous
or gossamer-like structure, like a b
web, a milky way or a comets tail;
and the inertia of matter-that is, the
inertia of a group of electri-
lied ether particles-must be a mere
residual fraction of the mass of the
main bulk Of undifferentiated c%ontinu-
fluid occupying the same space; OF
which fluid the particles are h~ypotheti-
cally composed, and in which they
freely move.

ATLANTIC , ANSWERS THE GOVERNOR.

The reply by a committee of the Board of Trade, the
Business League and the Hotel Keepers Association in
Atlantic City to the charges and threats by Governor Fort,
made public today. is temporarily worded. but expresses
the sense Of the Atlantic City community. AS these repre-
sentatives of all the material interests of Atlantic City say,
the resort has been conducted uninterruptedly for more
than half a century by a liberal policy. 1t has prospered
to a degree to make it a world wonder. 1t is a great
American pleasure ground, and one of the greatest water
ing places in the world. Out of the barren sands has
sprung up more than a hundred millions of wealth, To
the many millions of visitors no vice was apparent and no
disorder was seen. With the tacit consent of the law, for
half a century, the crude Sunday laws belonging to early
colonial times were literally construed. These laws forbid
all kinds OF sales on Sunday, including ice cream, cigars
and other articles commonly sold everywhere on a Sunday
Gambling has never been a feature of the resort. All
the gambling in Atlantic City at any time could be put
into one gambling block in New York. But there is no
sentiment in favor of gambling, and the last Grand Jury
would have indicted in all cases of complaint if a repre-
sentative Of the Attorney-Generafs office had not de-
liberately withheld the evidence and thus defeated Grand
Jury action.

PLURALi7IES IN NEW JERSEY.

The New York Tribune, in commenting on the political
situation in New Jersey, remarks that since the Democrats
lost control New Jersey has gone Republican by from
80. 900 to 100000" This is a fippant statement. In the three
national elections of 1896, 1900 and 1904 the Republican
pluralities ranged between these figures, but no sensible
Republican in the State ever claimed these pluralities as
normal They were polled under exceptional circumstances
that led thousands of Democrats to vote against their
party candidate or to refrain from voting. In 1904 thou
sands of Democrats voted for Roosevelt on the strength
o. his popularity. On the other hand, the Republican
pIuralities in State elections have been moderate. Voor-
bees got only five thousand and Fort about eight thou
sand. In 1906 the Republican plurality on Assembly was
only 1882. In no year since the Republican party came
into power were local issues as prominent as they are
this year. In no previous Presidential year was the in
terest in the national election as languid as it is this
year. Unless there shall be a mighty change in the public
thought before the November election local issues will

AN IMPRESSIVE LABOR DEMONSTRATION.

ark yesterday was the largest of the kind ever witnessed
in this city, and, together with the vast number of spec
tators lining the sidewalks, it made an imposing spectacle.
The weather was ideal for a parade, as we'll as for an out
ing. and the crowds on the line of march numbered at least
100000. What also impressed the spectator was the uni
versal order. the complete absence of everything that could
have marred the effect of the display. the self-respect that
was evidenced in the faces and bearing of the marchers,
and, above all, the perfect sobriety evident everywhere.
Those moralists and would-be social reformers who be-
lieve that a day of liberty for the wage Garner means a
day of license; that the workinsman has an irresistible
tendency to overindulgence in drink when he Is not con-
fined to his work, and that he must be safeguarded by
statutes in restraint of his personal liberty, could have
taken a lesson from the labor parade spectacle yesterday.

THE sHsRiFr's EXCESSIVE SALARY.

The office of Sheriff, with it's 10000 annual salary,
continues to be the richest plum in the political cake in
Essex County. Before the fee system was abolished the
Office netted it's occupant about $4,000 a year in fees and
perquisites, and such was the rivalry for nominations
that not infrequently In the larger counties. where the
office was the most lucrative, the rivairies for Sheriff
compromised party tickets and even caused party defeats.
II was only by the concession of an extravagant salary for
the sherif's office that the Legislature could be induced to
abolish the fees. Now that that object has been effected,
the Legislature should proceed to reduce the salary to
some reasonable figure. If there is any reason why the
Sheriff of a frst-class county should be paid a salary equal
to that of the Governor, or a justice of the Supreme
Court, and 800 more than the Common Pleas judge In
Essex County, it does not appear. All the county officers
whose fees were abolished were provided with excessive
salaries as compensation. Under the law no official sal
aries can be reduced during the terms of incumbents, but
the Legislature can pass a law and make it operative at
the beginning of the next term.

1t is explained by one OF the New Idea candidates for
Assembly that the excise question was omitted from the
New Idea platform adopted last week by the leaders Of
that organization because it was agreed that each candi-
date should express his personal views on the subject. The
statement is naively made. The organization was prolific
in its declarations on other subjects, some of them exceed
ingly far fetched. 1t had something to say in regard to
municipal home rule, but carefully excluding the matter Of
excise regulation. Here is a question that in Essex County
overshadows all other questions and issues, and the New
Idea. while making definite pron-ouncements on everything
else, turns tail on this and is mum as an oyster. If 1t
proper to leave to the candidate a statement of prih-
ciple, why not leave to him also all the rest Of the
enumerated In the platform? The evasve device
shows that the New Idea organization has lodged
the question. 1t refuses to take the responsibility for any
1t takes no position. 1t is neutral on the
principal issue of the campaign in Essex County.

NEW yoRK,s PRIMARIES TODAY.

New Yorks primaries today will not be open ones, as
in New Jersey. but. besides electing delegates, they will
on the Republican side furnish a test of the organization
sentiment in respect to the candidacy of Governor Hughes
for reelection. There is a general understanding that the
party voters will at the primaries indicate whether they
want Hughes or not. AS the primaries are largely con-
troIled by the party leaders, the chances are that the
verdict will be adverse to the Hughes candidacy. On the
Democratic side the interesting situation will be in Brook
lyn. where Senator McCarren. who was excluded from the
Denver convention, will defend his leadership and sway in
Kings County against the assault of Tammany. McCar-
ren's hold on the organization in Brooklyn has been weak
ened. If he goes down in todays primaries his power will
be permanently broken.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN MAINE.

The Maine election on Tuesday of next week turns
upon the question of the resubn1ission of the prohibition
to the voters, and the issue will to a large extent
influence results. At the same time thousands of voters
will adhere to their party candidates because of national
issues. In the last Presidential election the Maine Pro-
hibitionists polled 1,510 votes, and these will support the
Republican candidates who are opposed to resubmission.
The Socialist vote in 1904 was 2,lOs. An increase in this
vote will mostly affect the Democratic candidate. Maine
gave Roosevelt &c, 100 plurality. but some Republican lead
es figure down to 1000 in the coming State election. The
Lewistown Journal (Republican) has had the state can
vassed, and puts the figure Of Republican plurality at
$1,000. The Democrats are making no predictions. In the
State election in 1895 the Republican plurality was 1881
and in 1900 it was s4.1S2. In 1904 the September plurality
was 2S, 400. A figure considerably less than the 1904 plurality
would be for Democratic encouragement. A plurality of
II, 900 or less would create uneasiness at Republican ma
tional headquarters.
