Her WeddInq March.

A young girl who had never heard
of Mendelssohn's wedding March,"
but was familiar with the more popu-
lar parody on 1t, was a witness to a
wedding ceremony In an uptown
church recently. AS the betrothed
pair walked with dignified tread to-
ward the altar to be wed and the or
gan pealed forth Mendelssohn's IN
spring march, the young girl was
plainly shocked. When she arrived at
her home she told her mother of the
ceremony and ~innocently exclaimed:
What do you think, mother, they
played Gee Whiz! I'm Glad I'm
Free"

Both Parties MtsIed.

The interesting feature of this al
legged scandal is that the Democrats,
as we'll as the Republicans in congress,
were misled, and they are particularly
resentful, in view of the fact that con-
gress authorized the addition of more
than 200 officers to the army, and the
committees were led to believe that
under the Davis bill to equalize the
promotions of army officers, only 20
officers would be affected, whereas it
is now apparent that more than 12O
will be promoted and appointed.

PAVES WAY FOR APPOINTMENT
OF MANY NEW OFFICERS, IT
is DECLARED.
GATHERED BY REP. DAVIS
st. Peter Man Lieut.. Col. w. c. Brown
One of Those to Benefit
Investigation May
Follow.

Washington, d. G. - The an.
iouncement of the appointment Of
about 40 new officers in the army is
said TO be the basis of a scandal de.
veloped as a result of legislation in
the last congress that will be invests.
gated by a committee of the next
Democratic house. This Legislation re.
house by Representative Davis of
Minnesota at the instance, it is claim.
ed, of Lieut.-Col. w. G. Brown, who
is a native of st. Peter, MINI.
The legislation, as proposed was
intended to promote the equalization
of rank among the officers of the
army. The point in the legislation
was that through inequalities, result
ing from regimental promotions, many
OF the officers Of the army had not
been justly treated. 1t was to correct
this injustice that the measure was
passed, and it is alleged that the rep
reservations made to the committees
of congress were that not more than
20 officers would be affected by the
changes which would create vacancies
in the official list of the army.
The members of both parties in
congress were startled by the an
nouncement that As officers have been
promoted, and that inside information
at the department indics tes that more
than 100 appointments will follow the
changes. In other words, the claim
is that congress was misled by the
army officers who advocated the leg
iSlation.
