STONE-cOOLEDGE
Pretty Church Wedding Held at Peru
June 20

Tuesday June 20, was an ideal day
for wedding, the evening was none
the less perfect and our church was
filed with friends who came to wit
ness the marriage of two of our best
known young people, Delmer Byron
Stone and Miss Mary Addie Coolidge.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. II. b. Tilden, pastor of our
church who very impressively used
the Episcopal ring service. The brid-
al party came up the aisle to the
chords of Lohengrin's Bridal chorus.
Otto J Coolidge, brother of the bride
and Herbert Veasey were ushers,
while the bridesmaids were the two
older sisters of the bride. Miss Maria
Theresa Quackenbush of Natick Mass,
was maid of honor.
The bride was given away by her un.
Gle, Rev. NJ. II. Smith of Concord and
very pretty she looked as she came
up to the altar where she was met by
the groom who was attended by his
brother, Lloyd Stone as best man.
The bride wore a beautiful waite
gown with trimmings of lace. Her
veil was most becoming and her hou-
quet was of white roses. After the
ceremony the husband and wife left
the church to the strains of the we'd
ding march from Mendelssohn.
A reception was held at Meadow
Brook farm, the nome of the bride.
The house and grounds were prettily
decorated for the occasion. About ~
o'clock the groom's horses and car
riage appeared and after being show
cred with confetti and roses they
were rapidly driven away in the NOON
light to their destination which was a
matter of guess work to the crowd of
friends who watched their departure
The decorations at the church were
very effective consisting of daisies,
ferns and evergreens. A large arch
was made of eyergreens and wedding
bells of daisies and green's were sus-
pended from the center, the whole
background being of ferns. A pretty
feature was the stretching of daisy
chains to form an aisle for the Grid
al party by four girl friends of the
bride.
While the guests assembled tne
church organist rendered the follow
ing selections;
Wachterlied by Edward Grug; Noe
turne from Mid Summer Nights
Dream, Mendelssohn; Andantino AL
legretto Saint Saens; Meditation, Ash
ford. During the ceremony she play
ed the Angel Trio from the Orators
Elijah from Mendelssohn and a pray
err arranged from an old opera.
TIE large attendance at the we'd
ding and reception also the numerous
wedding gifts speak of the high es-
TEEN in which these young people are
held. Both have been prominent in
all church, Sunday school and Chris
rian Endeavor work, the bride being
president of the Christian Endeavor
1T the present time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stone have the best
wishes of their friends for long,
happy and prosperous life together.

FISH PULLED BOY IN
Small Lad Lost Footing on Spite
and Was Drowned

Newport, July 6.--To catch pound
and a half bass and be dragged into
the water and drowned was the fate
of nine year old Frederick Gochen
whose body was found floating in
Lake Memphremagog early this morn
ing. The boy disappeared Thursday
morning and up to today his where
abouts alive or dead, was mystery.
Searching parties dragged the lake

Mantle was used but with no effect.
When recovered from the water this
morning a fish pole was tightly grasp
ed in the lads hands and caught by
the hook was a bass. A Spite was a
favorite fishing place of young Goch-

fish caused his captor to lose his bal

he was drowned. The boy is surviv-
ed by widowed mother and one Sis

JANITOR THE HERO At FIRE.
Throws Blazing Tree Through Window
and Prevents Panic in School.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. q. - Quick
action by a janitor who seized a blaz-
ing Christmas tree and hurled it
through a window, prevented a disas-
trous panic among the kindergarten
pupils Of the Twenty-eighth district
school.
Cotton banked around the tree, in
imitation of snow. caught fire from a
candle and the whole tree was in a
blaze in a moment. The spectators
were panic-stricken.
The prompt action Of the %janitor en-
abled the teachers to regain control
of their charges, while the children
in other parts of the building were
marched out under fire drill orders.
An incipient blaze at the Second
Baptist church, caused by flames ig-
nited during the rehearsal of a can
tat, did not terminate so fortunately.
Two hundred children we're panic
stricken and many jumped from win
dows, sustaining evere injuries. Older
persons present were badly burned,
tearing down the flaming bunting and
checking the fire.

RIVALS
BLOODY SUNDAY
Five Prisoners Believed to Be
Sole Survivors of the Rus
sian Raid.
RACES TWENTY HOURS
Artillery Brought Into Play After Police
and Infantry Had Twice Been
Driven Back.

Moscow, Dec. 20. - Officers OF the
Moscow garrison and the crown po-
lice are planning punishment for the
revolutionaries who Saturday for
hours repulsed the Joint attack of po-
lice and cavalry upon a suburban
town with terrible carnage. The as
sault upon the terrorists' stronghold
in the midst of the plotters' meeting
marks the bloodiest combat between
revolutionaries and the military arm
of the car since the historic bloody
Sunday"
During the twenty hours of fighting
Baron Cote, chief of the cars secret
police, and Col. Muraki of the Cos
sack cavalry and an unknown number
of their host were killed, while many
of the terrorists were bayoneted and
dubbed to death.
Five wounded revo%lutionists were
taken prisoners. Upon these prison
ers will fall the weight of the govern
ment's wrath unless the secret serv-
ice is successful in running down es-
capped participants, and this is not
considered likely.
Terrorists Open Fire.
A meeting of the leaders of the rev
o%lutionists was considered the oppor-
tune moment for dealing a telling
blow against the circulation of sedi-
tious propaganda. AS the police ap-
preached the villa, the barricaded ter
rorists opened fire, moving down the
uniformed attackers.
The unexpected resistance discon-
certed the police who withdrew to
await the arrival of military reinforce
ments. For twenty hours the firing
continued and the combined forces OF
the besiegers was compelled to retire
once more. The third advance was
made behind requisitioned artillery,
which destroyed the building.
The lack of information leads to the
belief that the sole survivors of the
massacre in the ruined charnel house
are five manacled prisoners in the
dungeon at Kremlin, awaiting the YER
dict of a court-martial.

President Fallieres Is Murder.
ousIy Attacked While
Taking a Stroll.
ASSAILANT IS A ROYAl|ST
Fallieres Grappled With His Assailant
and Escaped Withc.t Serious
Injury.

Paris, Dec. 27.-A sensational as
sault was made on President Fallieres
Yesterday by Jean Mattos, an alleged
rovalist. The episode caused the wild
est excitement in the city. Although
the president escaped without any
other injury than a scratch on the ear
In the scuffe with his assailant, many
wild rumors concerning the affair were
set afloat, all of them magnifying the
seriousness of the injury.
Grapples With AssaiIant
The attack was made near the Rue
de L'Eterle, while the president was
taking an early morning stroll. accom-
panied by Ramonou, his secretary.
and Col. Lasson, II of the military
apparently had been awaiting the ap-
Eearance of the president. sprang
upon him suddenly from behind, throw
ing his arms around his neck and try
ing to throw him to the ground. The
president grappled with his assailant
and broke his cane in the struggle.
Col. Lasson and M. Ramondou dragged
the man away and turned him over to
two government detectives who had
been following the party in order to
guard the president from any possible
attack, just such as occurred.
Aligned With RoyaIists.
The man while being handcuffed ex-
claimed:
Il simply wanted to pull the presi-
dents beard. | am not armed"
This was found to be true when he
was searched. Mattos gave his age as
twenty-four, occupation waiter. Medals
and stamps bearing the imprint of the
head of the duke of Orleans were
found in his possession and also a
card of membership in the royalist or
der, the Patrie Franchise.
A search of Mattos' rooms revealed
a large amount of royalist literature,
showing that he was in close touch
with several of the royalist leaders,
but so far nothing has been discovered
to show that the attack was the re-
suit of a prearranged plot. The man
talked in a rambling way about HAY
ing done his duty in behalf OF France"

Claus Spreckels Passes Away at San

E~rancicco.
San Francisco, Dec. 20. - Claus
Spreckels, widely known as the "sug-
ar king" of the Pacific coast, died Sat

his physicians that his end was near
and relatives remained at his bedside
until the hour of his death.
Despite his advanced Age, Mr..
Spreckels had devoted a large share
of time to the various enterprises in
which he was interested, and it is not
more than a month since he appeared
before the ways and means commit
