Last Wednesday evening st. Dominic's
Church was the scene Of a very pretty
marriage. which was solemnized by the
Very Rev. Prior T. O'Rourke. o. P. The
happy couple were Mr.. William Rior-
dan and Miss Johanna Enright. The
bride wore white silk lace over white
silk, and a picture hat trimmed with
plumes. She was attended BY her sister.
Miss Ella Enright. who was at;ired in
a white lace trimmed with white satin
ribbon. The groom was attended by his
brother, Mr.. Daniel Riordan- During the
service Believe Me" was rendered b,
Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald with the art and
pathOs which his voice is noted for.
The bride received numerous and costly
presents Among the guests were: Mrs.
Alice ZoOk, Miss Josephine Mulcahy. Miss
May V. Davis. Miss Ella Pruitt.
Miss Nellie Grant. Miss Blanche Keefe,
Miss Minerva Carr. and Miss Lille Koes-
ter, friends from the pressroom.
One OF the most Iudicrous things that
ever occurred in a printing office was
purely an accident. but had so much the
appearance Of a put-up Job that the re-
suit might have been serious had not
good common sense prevailed. In one OF
the largest newspaper pressrooms OF
New York a few years ago there had
been several changes in the foremanship.
and the gentleman who was the victim
OF the accident had only held the posi-
ton a short time. He had started in
with rather a harsh idea Of discipline
and there was considerable friction. the
condition being that the best OF the men
were sullen and dissatisfied and the fore
man suspicious. One Saturday night.

could get enough OF the stun removed

CITY HALL RAISES A
LITTLE DISCUSSION
Bad Condition Creates COlOquy AT
Council Meeting

The disreputable condition of the
City Hall cropped out in the discus
sions at the meeting of Council on
Wednesday night.
1t all came about through Alder
man Allen, chairman of the commit
tee in whose hands the city property
is entrusted, stating that it had been
necessary to put in some posts on the
lower floor and make some absolute
ly necessary minor repairs.
" Thought your committee was in
structed some months ago to over
haul the entire building and put it
in proper condition" said Mayor Eel
der, looking rather significantly at
the places in the ceiling where the
plastering has fallen.
Alderman Allen at once replied that
the committee felt that the city
did not have the money to spare to
do the work as the treasury was
claimed to be much depleted.
Mayor Fielder came back with the
query Wasn't it a case of merely
deferring the public building repairs
to the necessities of the municipal
lighting scheme?"
Alderman Allen laughed and re-
piled: Yes, everything seems to be
deferred to the lighting question
| these days.
The Mayor closed the discussion
with an inside remark that he was
glad Alderman Allen finally realized
the condition the city finances were
in.
