Dcnounccs Kirby's Statement.
As question of personal privilege,
Representative Wilson tDemocrat, of
Pennsylvania. in the house to-day de-
nounced as false the charges recent
ly given circulation by John Kirby,
Jr.. of the American Manufacturers
Association.
Kirby alleged at recent meeting
of the organization that Wilson's two
daughters and his wife drew salaries
as secretary, clerk and janitress of his
committee
That is a malicious attack" Will
son declared to-day. The only true
statement which Kirby makes is that
my daughter. Agnes, is clerk to my
committee. My wife Is the mother
OF eleven children: We have raised
nine Of them. She has been a hard
working woman all her life She
would be neither afraid nor ashamed
| to be the janitress of the commit
tee on labor; but she prefers to be
Janitress to your humble servant"
Wilson explained that his daugh-
ted had been his secretary for eleven
years during his service as one of
the officers OF the United Mine Work
ers. He said she was exceptionally
well qualified to be clerk to the COM
mlttee. No other member of his fam
lily, he asserted, was employed in any
connection by the committee.
The Pennsylvania then declared
his contempt for the author Of the
charges

BRIDAL CUSTOMS.

Since the beginning of time, brides
have been objects Of tender interest
and many customs and rites have aris
en- because Of them. Wednesday has
come to be the accepted marriage day
and a goodly percentage of the wed
dings come to pass on that day, in
spite of the prominence given to Sat
urday by that scion of English Nobli
ty who set the example eight years or
so ago. The bride who clings to ira.
dition insists upon white for her brid
al gown, and would no more go to the
altar without something old. some
thing new, something borrowed, and
something blue, than she would lay
thirteen places at her dinner table.
For the dear brides the shops are
filled with elegant silver, glstening
crystal, and thinnest porcelain. The
art and cunning of silversmiths and
jewelers. has been exerted that they
may wear beautiful ornaments on their
wedding day, and for them exit the
exquisite and rare gifts chosen by
loving friends and devoted relatives to
adorn their abiding places. There is
a glamour about weddings that makes
1t pleasure to select wedding gifts.
