BRIDE and GROOM
Gave Their Friends The Slip And
There Was No Rice

A large party of friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. A. Kiiduff, who were united in
marriage at st. Vincent de Pauls
Catholic church Wednesday morning,
were given the slip by the newly we'd
ded couple at the home of the bride
shortly after the ceremony. 1t was
the intention CT the many friends pres
ent to give them shower OF rice, old
shoes etc, when they left for their
wedding trip but, suspecting some
thing of this kind, clever rouse was
resorted to in making their getaway"
Arrangements were made with Rev.
L. w. Mulhane by Mr.. Kilduf and ac-
cordingly a NUMBER of interesting
stories were told which completely alb
sorbed the attention of the gathering.
During this time the bride and groom
made their escape by rear door
and drove southwark out of the city
in an automobile.
Not to be foiled in this manner the
entire party hastened to the B. e. o.
depot where they boarded the 1880
train to capture the fugitives at either
Hunts Station or at Utica.
Mr. and Mrs. Kilduff will go to Co
lumbus and board the Pennsylvania
flyer for New York city. They will al
SO visit Philadelphia and Washington
while on their two weeks wedding
trip.

Total Expenditures Can Not
Exceed Those Of 1910
Previously To Which There
Was An Annual Increase
Of Four Million Dollars. Which
viii No Longer Occur

Columbus, O., Sept. 27.-The Cleve-
land Leader is afraid that the one
per cent tax rate law may save the
tax payers of Ohio some money in
1911. The paper says: "A saving OF
$4, 100000 is claimed for the govern
or's success in getting the one per
cent. tax bill through the general as
sembly. This is merely bluffing
guess. Ii one per cent rate will
do what is claimed by the administra-
tion, it will raise as much and possi-
bly, more money than now to be ex-
pended by public officers"
No one needs to guess what the
saving will be under the low rate law
One can learn from the records.
The law provides that the total ex-
penditures of public money in 1911
shall not exceed what was paid out
in 1910. The expeditures before any
Limitation was made increased sever
al millions of dollars annually, much
faster than the growth of the state.
Here are some figures showing the
annual increases:
Expenditures 1908, .... .S67, ,70S, ,460.2f
Expenditures 1907 ..... 64,1S2, ,241 80
Increase e........$ 3,526,21S.44
