Gilmore-Wilmot.

The wedding of Lillian Susan Wilmot
of Wilder, St. J. A. 'S9, to Alexander
Hazelton Gilmore at Chattanooga, June
2, was quietly celebrated in the chapel of
Christ church, in the presence of a few
intimate friends only. The Rev. w. c.
Robertson was the officiating clergy
man. There were no attendants The
bride was becomingly gowned in a
tailored suit of champagne cloth with
picture hat in the same shade. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilmore will make their home in
Chattanooga. Mr.. Gilmore is valued
reporter for the times, having become
connected with the paper six or eight
months ago. The marriage is the happy
elimination of romance which had its
beginning when the bride and groom
were school children in their early Yer
mont home. They grew up sweethearts,
but later, through some misunderstand-
ing, drifted apart and for number of
years held no communication with each
other. Last fall, however, when Mr..
Gilmore was visiting friends in Lowell,
Mass, he was informed that his former
sweetheart was living in that city. Going
to see her, he begged her to renew the
engagement and the result of his suit
proved favorable; in a few months the
bride journeyed to Chattanooga, reach
ing that city June 2, only a few hours
before the time set for the ceremony.

road in all Wyoming, with broken

New York-Seattle race and is ahead.
The machinist was aboard the train as
we nassed it and told me all about the
hardships on the road. He was just
riding for hundred miles to get a new
wheel. He said the Ford was going to
win if possible. The first three cars
have had awful weather-a terrible
storm swept over Colorado, Sunday,
and they were caught in it. He said he

EARTHQUAKE TERRIFIES
 THE PEOPLE OF LISBON

Lisbon, April 2S.-A series of violent earth shocks occurred tonight and seis- mic disturbances, according to reports from various places. were felt throughout the whole of Portugal. For time fears were entertained of a repetition of the great earthquake of 1755, which demol- ished the city.
 No material damage was done. although the ground rose and fell in wave-like mo- tions; buildings swayed and the walls of a number of old houses were broken No one was hurt, but in various parts of the city fires broke out and condition of great alarm prevailed.
 Several of the broken walls threaten to collapse and 1t is believed that some of the churches have been damaged in their interiors.
 King Manuel accompanied by his aids, appeared on the streets and took a prom inent part in encouraging the firemen and reassuring the terrified populace.

Peasants Looming Up
 M J4dgeship Race

Washington, April 23.-(Special) )-Repre- sentative Richardson of Alabama was in conference with the President some time today, leaving for his home in Alabama tonight Judge Richardson believes the President has practically decided upon the man he will appoint to the Northern Ala barna Judgeship, and the 'nomihation will be sent to the Senate very shortly The Eighth district member declines to give the name of the new judge. All he cares to say is that Judge Hundley is out of it.
 The Washington Star says this after noon that ''the judgship situation in Ala bama is said to be shaping itself in the direction of the nomination of Shelby S. Pleasants of Huntsville" Should Pleas ants be appointed it would, of course, be the biggest kind of victory for Judge Richardson, as he is his main supporter. Judge Richardson, however, is keeping mum on the subject and won't confirm the Stars report.
 Amos Goodhue of Gadsden was at the Capitol today and has plenty of confidence that he will be the lucky man. But as

Tariff Bill VIII Be Read and
 Votes Will Be Taken
HIDES BURNING QUESTION
Shoe Manufacturers and Farmers Visit Taft to Get Him to Aid In the Great Campaign for
 Free Hides.
By PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, April 23.-( Especial 1.-The
 Senate will settle down next week to the
 real consideration of the tariff Senator Aldrich said today that he hoped to reach
 the reading of the bill by paragraphs
 on Monday and from that time on there
 will be votes on amendments, those from
 the committee first and then any that
 may be offered by individual members.
 Good progress was made ill the bill to-
 day, all matters over which there was
 any dispute being passed over.
 Senator Deliver of Iowa and Senator
 Nelson of Minnesota again took occasion
 to voice their disapproval of the high
 rates reported from the finance commit
 tee. They had special reference to the
 cotton schedule. The two senators. how
 ever seemed satisfied with what they
 told the Senate yesterday as regards the
 unjust lines upon which the bill was
 framed and the days debate developed
 little of interest.
 The announcement of Senator Aldrich
 that the old Dingley rate of 10 per cent
 would be restored on hides means that
 much more for the republican leader to
 trade upon. The senator, as is the case
 with all the New England senators. is
 for free hides and the highest obtain
 able duty on shoes. But in making a
 show of concession to the western sena- tors on the hides schedule he may yet
 be able to get free hides and gain votes on other propositions. The House, it will be recalled, put hides on the free list by a large majority.
 The President today granted an inter- view to Edmond P. Harrison of Cincin- natl, August H. Vogel of Milwaukee and John E. Wilder of Chicago. representing the National Association of Tanners, and the National Boot and Shoe Manufac- turers' association. Their interview re-
 lated to Nthe duty on hides They told the President that free hides would im-
 mensely stimulate the shot and leather industry in the country, enabling the employment of thousands of men now out of work.
 With free hides the country would inn port freely from Argentina. A better
 grade of shoes would be furnished the masses of the people, and there would be increased exports of finished products American shoe workmen average only eight or nine months work each year un- der the Dingley tariff. England, Ger many, France and other industrial na- tions of the world admit hides free, and profit thereby.
 It was claimed that the beef trust which handles more than half of the
 hides in this country, is the leading fac tor back of the demand for duty on hides The tannery and shoe industries
 would immediately thrive under free hides the President was told.
 While the Senate votes on the several schedules will be interesting they will possess little finality and upon all ini- portant schedules the conference com mlttee must determine. This fact has so impressed itself upon members that the opinion Is that the tariff bill will go through the Senate In record-breaking time leaving the fight to come in the conference committee.

for confidence the supporters of both W. H. Smith and O. D. Street have quite a supply themselves, and are ready to take the oath of office on five minutes mo- tice.
 Politicians are remarlSing upon the very few exceptions being taken to the ap- pointments of President Tafe. Of the several hundred nominations he has sent to the Senate since March not one is being held up in the Senate committees, and all of them will be confirmed
 In one or two judicial cases the Presi- dent made what might be termed tenn porary appointments the understanding being that they were not final He is now giving consideration to these cases and probably none of them will be made per manent. The situation is much akin to that existing In the Mckinley administra- tion when there was the utmost good feeling between the President and the Senate.
 The situation was wholly reversed in the Roosevelt administration, men being ap- pointed to office without the senators knowing about them. In many instances they had never heard of them.
 Of course the Senate likes the changed conditions.
