WEDDING BELLS A-PLENTY.
Marry Young and Often Seems to BE
the Rule i'm Egypt.

According to information given from
authentic sources to a correspondent
of Leslie's Weekly while in Egypt
| there are few men in Cairo past the
age of twenty years who have not
been married at least twice, and the
majority of women over sixteen have
made half dozen or so matrimonial
experiments" There is no disgrace
attached to divorce in Egypt. If n.n-
tual admiration wanes with the hon.
eymoon, there is nothing more natural
to the Egyptian mind than that the
dissatisfied party takes steps toward
another trial. Marriage is universal
in Egypt. There are no old maids.
Widows remain widows but a short
time, and, as rule, no young man is
considered fitted for business or en-
titled to the confidence of the COM
munity until he is married. These
numerous marriages and their attend
ant celebrations make it extremely in
teresting for the stranger from the
west who journeys through Egypt.
Toward the end of the tourist season,
when money is considerably more
plentiful than it is just before the
travellers invade the country and begin
to scatter piasters along the Nile, there
are hundreds of marriages. In Cairo
they average during the month of
April from ten to twenty day of the
elaborate ones-with brass bands, pro-
cessions and feasting-and any num-
ber of less snowy ones.

Fifteenth Anniversary.

On Saturday evening, October 10,
the beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
David Roger Geiman, Bond street ex-
tended, this city, was the scene of
one of the most enjoyable gatherings,
the occasion being in honor of their
fifteenth anniversary. The parlor was
beautifully decorated with palms, ferns
and autumn leaves, the hall in blue,
the diningroom in blue and white. Mr..
and Mrs. Geiman received the guests
under an arch of autumn leaves, the
background being lit up with red
lights, a beautiful scene indeed. At
II o'clock the guests, numbering forty
five, repaired to the dining room and
partook of a tempting luncheon. The
happy couple, being well known in this
county, were the recipients of many
handsome presents.

THE BLUE JAY.

1t is said and believed by many that
all the blue jays disappear every Fri
day, and not one can be seen until the
next day, and this disappearance is ac-
counted for by the statement that the
birds are under campact with Satan
and that they devote each Friday to
delivering him a supply of sand to
heat his caldron at the point of tor
ture.
But why should the blue jay be Sc
lected as sand bearer TO Satan when
there are so many birds OF stronger
and fieetier wing? There are many
superstitiOns that have reasoning
basis, but this particular one has moth
ing whatever to go on. ).
The origin of it lies in the fact that
the blue jay is most particular home
builder. He knows how to build his
house, and he takes great pride IN it,
He doesn't hang his nest to a limb nor
glue it to tree.
Instead he selects a substantial fork
or crotch of limb, lays down Few
twigs of goodly size and strength, and
on these he superimpOses strong
foundation of clay, with layers OF pa
pers between, and when his nest is I'm
ished it is as substantial in proportion
as one of our modern steel structures
Thus fitted and finished, it is adni-
rably adapted to the rearing of
strong and healthy brood, and the blue
jay goes about his business with the
earnest energy that characteriZes all
his movements.
He raises his young and leads them
about from tree to tree and from brush
to brush until they have tried and
found their wings, and then. his re-
sponsibilities being over. he proceeds
with his career of gayety, a veritable
practitioner of rough fun and stage

DEMOCRATIC Meetings
GovFRNOR CROTHERS MAKES STRONG
APPEAL FOR The TICKET
4 Rousing Meeting and Much Interest
Manifested

The meeting of the Bryan, Kern and
rolbott Club of Westminster Tuesday
draning at Odd Fellows Hall was a
rpcord-breaker. The Governor of
Maryland proved to be a far greater
TRACTION than the Vice President of
,bo nation. The hall was totally in
odoonate to accommodate the crowd,
bnndreds being turned away, unable
n gain admittance. The room had
hson beautifully decorated by the
iodins of the town. The front of the
stage was draped with national flags
combined with the state colors, while
az the back of the stage was back
oround of blue dotted with stars. Pic
nres of Mr. Bryan and the Governor
upre framed in autumn leaves. The
millars we're festooned with foliage.
Around the front of the stage were
nlaced cut flowers and potted plants.
A, s. Goldsborough was to have been
one of the speakers, but he was not
able to come, and his place was taken
hy VIM. J. O'Brien, Jr., of Baltimore,
who first addressed the audience. He
smoke chiefly of the bad precedent the
President is attempting to establish
in naming his successor, and the great
mower which the trusts and large cor
porations are welding in our politics
al the present time. Some persons,
he said, treat the manner of Mr..
Taft's nomination lightly, but If he is
elected the same course will be taken
four years from now, ana it will not
be long before it becomes the estab-
Eshed custom. Better put the seal
Of your disapproval upon it now, than
wait until it is necessary for revo-
luton to overthrow it.
Mr.. O'Brien told number of humOr-
Gus stories to illustrate his points, and
made a favorable impression upon
those who heard him.
Governor CrotherS took the entire
Democratic platform for his text, and
discussed all of the important issues.
His speech was in the main a reply
to that of Governor Hughes delivered
in Baltimore, and he showed how un-
sound and even ridiculous were some
of the New York Governors conclu-
siOns. Governor Crothers spoke with
an earnestness and vigor that left no
doubt as to where he stands in this
campaign. He lauded the great
Democratic leader, and expressed his
unqualified approval of the reforms
which he advocates. He spoke at
length upon the guarantee of bank de-
pOsits and said that, while our Mary
land banks had been so ably and hon
estly conducted that there was little
demand here for such a measure, it is
a proposition to which there can be no
reasonable objection, and one that will
be productive of much good in draw
ing boarded money from it's hiding
places, in preventing panics caused
by the withdrawal of money by fright
ened depositors, and in giving both to
banker and depositor a feeling of
security
The Governor spoke in high terms
OF the people of Carroll county and of
the economical administration of it's
affairs.
The glee club sang several catchy
campaign songs
Next Tuesday evening the speakers
Will be Hon. Blair Lee, of Montgomery
county, and Hon. Lloyd Wilkinson, of
Baltimore.

The proposition of Mr.. Knapp, to
remove his labelling machine factory
from Chicago to Westminster upon
certain conditions, was considered
last evening by committee of bankers
and business men of Westminster, and
we are informed that the deal was
practically consummated and that
the factory will probably be in opera
ton here inside of 80 days. This is
the company that won its suit against
the Atlantic Machine Works for in
fringment of patent, and it desires
to make it's headquarters in Westmin-
ster in order that it may be in
the center of the canning industry.
They will employ from rs to so skill
ed workmen.

An ENJOYABLE Dance.

A very enjoyable dance was given
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ward
Warren, near Taneytown, Thursday
evening, October 8. The guests, who
numbered about fifty, began to arrive
at an early hour. The music was fur
nished by James Hill, of Taneytown
on the violin.
Those who did not indulge in dane
ing were entertained by graphophone
music and games. About IL o'clock
refreshments were served, after which
all returned to their homes, having
expressed themselves as having had
a very pleasant time.

There are hundreds of thousands of
unemployed workmen in the chief

problem is one of great anxiety for
the coming winter. Local authorities
are at a loss how to deal with the
situation. And leaders of the unem-
ployed are giving incendiary counsel.

shops of the rich and take what they

It is said that there are more I'M
employed men in England and Scot

Liverpool, London and Glasgow. In
Liverpool recently 10000 laborers
marched to the City Hall and demand
ed work, threatening to loot the city
if relief were not granted.
So far as known, apprehension of
the election of Bryan is not the u
of this bad condition. But Taftites
may say this fear accounts for the
