rock" proved to be only hard clay Ev-
idence concerning the alleged $3.50, 600

Washington, Jan. 27.-Admitting
that the Payne tariff law would have
to be justified by the results Of its
practical operation. Representative
Boutell of Illinois. a member of the
committee which framed the measure
made a vigorous defense of the new
law in the house today.
President Taft had been criticized
he said, because he rad declared the
Payne act was the best tariff law ever
passed by congress bur. he added, the
result would justify that statement
THE common sense and sagacity of
President Taft will be recognized by
recollection in 1872, continued Mr..
Boutell. 1T has been said the act
gives preference to certain individuals
and is the cause of the present high
prices. 1t has been claimed the tariff
act has brought prosperity and that 1t
viii retard prosperity"
When the democrats applauded
these statements and laughed in de-
rison, Mr. Boutell sharply reprovcd
them.
why is it, he asked, that the
democrats always applaud any tale of
misfortune or prediction of adver-
sity?"
II think" said Mr.. Boutell FAN
swering his own question. 'its because
adversely is so familiar and in keeping
with the history of their paEty Such
applause is not indicative of approba-
tion but the result of party loyalty"
1t was then the turn of the republl-
cans to laugh and applaud.
Paying especial attention to criti-
cisms of Senator Bailey of the Ding
ley and the Payne-Aldrich tariff laws
Mr.. Boutell produced a bundle of Tex
as newspapers of recent issue and read
from them predictions of unusual
prosperity for Texas in the new year
Texas, interposed Representative
Slayden of that state, ''is prosperous.

tative Henry of Texas, Mr.. Boutell
asked that member whether he

prices of what-do you want low
er prices of cotton?" asked Mr.. Bou-
tell and Mr. Henry's reply was drown
ed in the uproar OF applause from
the republicans.
Hr. Henry inquired whether the Ill
inois member had heard that children
of Chicago went to school without
their breakfast
ITO that ] simply give the reply of
Jane Adams, who says there is no
truth in that statement" replied Mr..
Boutell
Mr. Boutell then read Of the in

added. Il wonder how high 1t would

MARRIAGE AT
CRESCENT CITY
Of a Popular Young Couple
A Brilliant Society Affair.

The marriage OF Miss Ruby Louise
Mathis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ]. H.
Mathis of Crescent City TO Mr.. Eugene
Dixon Lounds, postmaster at that place
was Solemnized at the residence of the
BRIDES parents on beautiful lakewood
avenue at O'Clock last Tuesday even
ing, the officiating clergyman being
Rev. Father Barry OF Palatka.
The beautiful bride wore white sue
sine silk trimmed in fluted ruffled goods
with lace and ribbon knots, made over
skirt and waist trimmed in heavy ap-
wore veil caught up with natural
orange blossoms and carried boquet of
brides! roses and ferns.
Miss Lula Mae Hunter, maid OF honor,
wore white with blue ribbons and her
boquet was of white carnations and as
paraguS ferns.
Miss Mary Graham, the bridesmaid,
wore white with pink ribbon and car
ried boquet of white>carnations and as
paraguS ferns.
Albert Edward LoundS was best man
and Clifford Hunter groomsman.
The bridal party came down the stair
way and marched though the rooms to
their position in the parlor 10 the strains
Of the wedding march played by Miss
Ruth Herlong
The house was beautifully decorated
in pink and green crepe myrt pink
roses and coral vine with asparagus ferns
and bamboo.
During the ceremony the bride and
groom stood under large pink bell of
crimped paper with large pink rose for
a clapper. Asparagus ferns with coral
vines were looped all around where the
wedding party stood.
Owing TO the popularity of the couple,
and the necessary limitations of the
house, the invitations were restricted TO
the young people, the only married peo-
pie present being the immediate rela-
tives of the bride and groom.
The wedding presents were numer-
GUS and included magnificent articles in
silver and cut glass, one OF the most
priced of which was large old fash
Toned silver spoon given by Mrs. w. r.
Saunders, who had had it more than 40
years and which came down TO her
through more than a hundred years of
ancestors and which was originally
part OF the table service of the governor
OF distant state in the early part OF the
last century. There was also much in
the way of rugs, linen and other house
hold necessities.
Ice cream, fruit and pound cake were
served.
Mr.. and Mrs. LoundS have gone 10
New York and New England for
honeymoon OF some six weeks. They
were followed TO the train by some 20
young people who saw TO il that they
were well Sprinkled with rice. The
brides travelling suit was the new shade
of brown in stanton silk with hat and
gloves and shoes and parasol TO match.
1t is rare that marriage in the pretty
little orange growing town has caused
more general wishes for the happiness
and long life of the parties to it than has
that of this popular couple.

FOOTPRINTS OF GLACIERS.
They Present a Serious Problem For
Future Generations.

| The site of New York city was once
buried under hundreds, possibly thou
sands, of feet of ice. Ample proof of
this is found in many places on Man
haitian Island, the most tangible being
the footprints" Of glaciers. Examine
| the surface of the rocks in Central or
Riverside park and you will find nu-
merous peculiar marks.
| These peculiar marks, called by ge-
ologists "striae," are the footprints"
of glaciers. They,w produced by
the grinding of pebbles upon the rock
surfaces under the glaciers as the lat
ter moved to the sea.
How long ago 1t was that glaciers
flowed over Manhattan Island is
matter of uncertainty. The period has
been variously estimated atsfrom 5000
to 10000 years. The present trend
Of opinion is in favor of the smaller
estimate. But, knowing as we do
that the site of New York city was ga-
ciated at a time remote or compare
lively recent, the portentous question
arises, Are the glaciers likely to de-
scend on it again? No human means
could arrest their irresistible advance.
Palatial homes, towering skyscrapers,
East river bridges, all the magnificent
monuments of human achievement,
would be ground into atoms and swept
into the ocean.
Striae, or footprints" of glaciers. are
found from the highest northern and
southern ATTITUDES to the equator Was
the entire surface of the earth at one
time covered with ice? Some geolo-
gists have taken that view, but the
evidence does not warrant it.
That the earth has changed its axis
from time to time and is still changing
1t is fact well known to astronomers.
1t is conceivable, therefore, that in the
course of ages before the earth's crust
assumed its present formation, the
poles may once have been on the pres
ent equatorial line and the equatorial
line where the poles now stand. BY
oscillation of the globe and consequent
interchanging of polar and cguat, rial
lines every part of the ear 49,; surface
must have been successive .-4 Mi2d.
Such general lateral movement Of
the earth furnishes a reasonable cx-
PLANTATION of the glacial footprints" ev-
erywhere found.
The north is undoubtedly growing
warmer. Some 500 years ago Alaska
was still covered with glacial ice. Five
hundred years from now there will
scarcely be glacier to be found there
except in the highest mountains. THE
next generation will find few Of them
with their fronts still In the sea-" says
Henry Gannett in Dellenbaugh's
North America of Yesterday" The
present trend on the earth's axis is to
push the north pole farther north. But
the question is, How long will this
movement continue in the present di-
rection? 1t may continue until Green
land shall come again to have a tenn
perate climate, or it may be reversed
in the near future to bring the ice back
to the destruction of great cities. This
is a problem for posterity. The pres
ent generation need not lose any sleep
over it. But some future generation
may find itself confronting a serious
condition.-William E. Simmons in New
York World.
