Then came on the snap sessions of
the commission in Houghton at which
properties were reduced in value many
hundreds of thousands OF dollars with
dut any OF the property owners OF the
assessing district to which the property
belonged knowing anything of the pro-
posed hearings OF reductions. The
honesty Of the commission and It's adj
yisers was openly questioned by many,
even the governor of the state
Then followed the appraisal of the
non mineral property and the hearing
at which form of review OF mining
property was gone through with. 1t
vas recognized before the hearing that
the commission couldn't place the
igures il made in May aside and re-
store those that existed before without
branding the May session as fraud

arties asked only that they be given a
commensurate reduction but that was

AT MIDNIGHT
Dir. Barrett Takes Part in RO-
matte NuptiaIS of Queen
Anne Couple
READ SERVICE UNDER
LIGHT OF LANTERN

cHESTERTOWN. Md, March 12.-
Sunday night, about 10 o'clock, the
doorbell of the Chestertown Methodist
Episcopal parsonage rang, and the
minister, the Rev. Dr. L. e. Barrett
and his wife, who were just about to
retire for the night were surprised
upon going to the door, to find four
young people-two women and two
men. They were invited into the par
ial, and the pastor asked:
Wen, what can ] do for you at this
late hour Of the night?"
One Of the party-Louis Vane-said /:
Il want to be married to Miss Emma
Leager, who is present." and forth
with he produced a marriage license
issued in Queen Annes county. The
pastor took the paper, looked at ii.
and said. Il am sorry, but / can't
do anything for you. This license was
issued in Quenn Anne's county. and
you will have to look for a Queen
Annes preacher to perform the cere-
mony. Il would be unlawful for me
to marry you unless you had a Kent
county license"
The visitors were much chagrined
They had driven five or six miles to
Chestertown and they thought surely
any minister in Kent could tie the
knit on a Queen Anne's license. and
II was such a late hour Of the night
that a Queen Anne's pastor would
be difficult to find. The young woman
who was to serve as best girl said
II IS such an unlucky thing to post
pone a wedding"
The pastor reflected for a moment,
and then, noting the detected express
SION upon the faces of the prospec-
tive bride and groom. family said.
Well. | tell you what | will do.
We will go out on C@lester River
bridge, and at point on the bridge
whore | am sure the Queen Anne's
bridge begins, III perform the cere-
mony
The party accepted at once and,
huflying to their carriages, they
drove quickly to the bridge. But how
was the pastor to see how to read the
ceremony? He did not know it by
heart. A happy thought struck the
parson. He went out on the draw
and, with lantern which the bridge
keeper used and whose resting place
br Barrett. knew well because of
the frequent morning strols on the
hridge, he climbed up and removed |
one Of the signal lanterns from its |
position and, handing it TO the best
fran, told the contracting parties to
aiight from the carriage, and here, |
on that historic bridge, with inc moon /
shining above and the placid Chester |
River flowing beneath DR. Barrett |
reformed the only marriage cere- |
Inony which ever occurred on Chcster
bridge.
Having paid the fec, the bridegroom
profuaely thanked DR. Barrett, and the |
Hridal party disappeared. The pastor

The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-05-30
Rev. Whitman Resigns Pulpit

Members of the Congregational church
OF Newport were very much surprised
Sunday morning, when Rev. Frank E.
Whitman announced that he had ten
dered his resignation, and would at the
evening service preach farewell SER
mon.
Rev. Whitman has been pastor of
Hope church for year and half, and
the announcement that he is to leave
Newport occasions much regret among
members of the congregation and the
many people who have learned to have
high regard for Mr.. Whitman. AS an
eloquent, sincere worker, his place will
be hard to fill, and it has been the fear
of many of his friends that commun-
ity of this size would not long be able
to retain the services of so able man.
Rev. Whitman leaves this week for
Montana, where he will con-
tinue in the pastoral work for several
months, and later will take one of the
leading churches of Spokane.

and allowed but two hits to Bever's
four, and as everyone knows game is
not won until it is played out.
The Spirit Lake team doubtless feels
that it was badly used, but had they
accepted the fair offer of naming an
umpire to conclude the game there
would be less criticism of their conduct
in leaving the field. The spectators
who have paid to see game of ball
have some rights in the matter. AS far
as the umpiring was concerned Newport
people are in favor of square deal tie
all, and there was no intention on the
part of any one to give the Lake boys
anything else.
The report in the Review to the effect
that Newport refused to pay the ex-
penses of the visitors is only partly
correct. Their railroad fare to New
port had already been paid and their
dinner was paid by the local team, so
that they are out only their return fare
to Spirit Lake.
